Disclosed herein are therapeutic constructs including a delivery particle, at least one mitotic kinase inhibitor, and at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor. Also disclosed are therapeutic constructs including a mitotic kinase inhibitor, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, and a chemical linker. These therapeutic constructs cause cancer death by both therapeutic and immune effects and promote targeted delivery of more therapeutics to the surviving cancer cells in a positive feed-back loop. They enhance therapeutic index of free drugs and can be used intratumorally or systemically. This strategy can treat broad cancer types and is particular useful for cancer without obvious receptors for cancer-targeted delivery of otherwise toxic therapeutics.

Therapeutic constructs for co-delivery of mitotic kinase inhibitor and immune checkpoint inhibitor

Disclosed herein are nanoconstructs comprising a nanoparticle, coated with additional agents such as cationic polymers, stabilizers, targeting molecules, labels, oligonucleotides and small molecules. These constructs may be used to deliver compounds to treat solid tumors and to diagnose cancer and other diseases. Further disclosed are methods of making such compounds and use of such compounds to treat or diagnose human disease.

Cross-linked polymer modified nanoparticles

Disclosed herein are immunotherapeutic constructs comprising a delivery particle, at least one adjuvant, and one or more therapeutic agents/compounds that cause antigen release and/or modulate immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. These immunotherapeutic constructs create adaptive immunity or anti-cancer immune response(s) that can be used, for instance, to prevent and treat broad types of cancer. Further disclosed are uses of the immunotherapeutic constructs, including to prevent and treat cancer in humans and animals.
