Combination immune therapy and cytokine control therapy for cancer treatment
Compositions disclosed herein, and methods of use thereof included those for treating or preventing sepsis in a subject in need, including methods of extending of the survival of a subject suffering from sepsis, and reduction of organ dysfunction or failure due to sepsis. Methods of treating or preventing sepsis in a subject in need includes administering compositions comprising early apoptotic cells or early apoptotic cell supernatants. Compositions and methods of use thereof may reduce the negative proinflammatory effect accompanying sepsis. In certain instances, compositions may include additional agents.
1. A method of treating, preventing, inhibiting, reducing the incidence of, ameliorating, or alleviating sepsis, or any combination thereof, in a subject in need, comprising the step of administering a composition comprising an early apoptotic cell population to said subject, wherein said early apoptotic cell population comprises ≥40% AnnexinV+ and ≤15% propidium iodide+cells and said early apoptotic cells comprise peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and wherein said administering treats, prevents, inhibits, reduces the incidence of, ameliorates, or alleviates sepsis in said subject.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein sepsis comprises mild or severe sepsis.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said treating, preventing, inhibiting, reducing the incidence of, ameliorating, or alleviating increases the survival of said subject.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said treating, preventing, inhibiting, reducing the incidence of, ameliorating, or alleviating reduces the incidence of organ failure or organ dysfunction, or organ damage, or a combination thereof.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein organ failure comprises acute multiple organ failure.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said early apoptotic cell population comprises
(a) an apoptotic population stable for greater than 24 hours; or
(b) a mononuclear apoptotic cell population comprising a decreased of non-quiescent non-apoptotic cells, a suppressed cellular activation of any living non-apoptotic cells, or a reduced proliferation of any living non-apoptotic cells, or any combination thereof;
any combination thereof.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said early apoptotic cell population comprises a pooled population of early apoptotic cells.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject is a human subject.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering comprises a single infusion of said early apoptotic cell population.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering comprises multiple infusions of said apoptotic cell population.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering comprises intra venal administration.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering an additional therapy.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said additional therapy is administered prior to, concurrent with, or following administration of said early apoptotic cells.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method comprises a first-line therapy.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method comprises an adjuvant therapy.
