USE OF TLR AGONISTS AND/OR TYPE 1 INTERFERONS TO ALLEVIATE TOXICITY OF TNF-R AGONIST THERAPEUTIC REGIMENS.

摘要

Improved (safer and more effective) methods of therapy using TNF-R agonists, e.g., CD40 agonists are provided. These methods provide for the addition of an amount of a type 1 interferon and/or a TLR agonist that is effective to prevent or reduce the toxicity (liver toxicity) that may otherwise result in some patients of the TNF-R agonist is used as a monotherapy (without the type 1 interferon and/r TLR agonist).
