COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF MIC60 DEPLETED CANCERS AND METASTASIS
Provided herein are methods of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof. The method includes obtaining a tumor sample from the subject and detecting an expression level(s) of one or more genes in a tumor sample. In certain embodiments, the genes comprise MMP13, XAF1, IGFBP3, MX2, IFIT1, ISG15, OAS3, CXCL10, SERPINE1, CXCL11, and CXCL3. A change in the expression level of the one or more genes as compared to a control level indicates Mic60-depleted cancer. The method further includes treating the subject for Mic60-depleted cancer.
TREATMENT OF MYXOID/ROUND CELL LIPOSARCOMA PATIENTS
The present invention provides a method of treating a patient diagnosed with Myxoid/Round cell liposarcoma with an anti-GPC3 therapeutic agent. The present invention also relates to quantification of GPC3 expression in tissue samples of patients diagnosed with Myxoid/Round cell liposarcoma by an immunostaining assay and identification of GPC3 expression levels that correlate with selection of patients for administering the anti-GPC3 therapeutic agent.
PERSONALIZED MODULATION THERAPY FOR CANCER
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions to predict a response of a subject to a nutrient modulation therapy. Restricting the uptake of at least one amino acid by cancer cells can be used to treat or delay cancer. In some embodiments, the nutrition modulation therapy is a dietary product that is substantially devoid of at least one amino acid.
SURVIVIN TARGETING POLYPEPTIDES FOR DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to survivin-targeting polypeptides, including antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, antibody fragments, antibody-like molecules, and chimeric receptors. Also disclosed herein are nucleic acids encoding for such survivin-targeting polypeptides and cells comprising such nucleic acids. Described are methods for detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer using survivin-targeting polypeptides.
CEA ASSAY FOR PATIENT SELECTION IN CANCER THERAPY
Provided are methods for identifying and treating patients with cancer, where the cancer expresses CEACAM5. The methods include measuring circulating CEA to identify patients likely to benefit from treatment with an agent specific for CEACAM5. Such patients can have high circulating CEA and only low or medium expression of CEACAM5 on tumor cells as measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The agent specific for CEACAM5 can be tusamitamab ravtansine. Such agent can be used in combination with one or more additional agents to treat the cancer. In certain embodiments the cancer is non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSQ NSCLC).
BIOMARKERS FOR PREDICTING ELIGIBILITY FOR AN ANTI-ILT4 AND ANTI-PD-1 COMBINATION THERAPY
Disclosed herein are biomarkers that correlate with responses to an anti-ILT4 and anti-PD-1 combination therapy. A biomarker that can differentiate responders from non-responders to this combination therapy can potentially be used to select human subjects who have a higher probability to benefit from such a combination therapy. In one embodiment, a combined positive score (CPS) for PD-L 1 expression in a tumor sample from a human subject is used as a biomarker to differentiate a responder from a non-responder to an anti-ILT4 and anti-PD-1 combination therapy. In another embodiment, a T-cell-inflamed gene expression profile (Tcell.sub.infGEP) score is used as a biomarker to differentiate a responder from a non-responder to an anti-ILT4 and anti-PD-1 combination therapy.
ANTIBODIES AND USES THEREOF
Aspects of the invention are drawn to a recombinant monoclonal antibodies and methods of using the same.
Use of PD-L1 Low Expression Status to Select Subjects for Cancer Immunotherapy
The disclosure relates to methods for treating cancer or selecting subjects for cancer treatment using low PD-L1 expression as a patient biomarker prior to treatment.
Gene expression markers for predicting response to chemotherapy
The present invention provides sets of genes the expression of which is important in the prognosis of cancer. In particular, the invention provides gene expression information useful for predicting whether cancer patients are likely to have a beneficial treatment response to chemotherapy FHIT; MTA1; ErbB4; FUS; BBC3; IGF1R; CD9; TP53BP1; MUC1; IGFBP5; rhoC; RALBP1; STAT3; ERK1; SGCB; DHPS; MGMT; CRIP2; ErbB3; RAP1GDS1; CCND1; PRKCD; Hepsin; AK055699; ZNF38; SEMA3F; COL1A1; BAG1; AKT1; COL1A2; Wnt.5a; PTPD1; RAB6C; GSTM1, BCL2, ESR1; or the corresponding expression product, is determined, said report includes a prediction that said subject has a decreased likelihood of response to chemotherapy.
DIRECT IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY ASSAY
The application is to antibodies which have been labelled with polyenzymes (multiple enzymes), specifically polyperoxidases, for use in direct immunohistochemical assays of tissues. The antibodies used diagnostically may also be antibodies which are used therapeutically.
