Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the effectiveness of an angiogenesis inhibitor in a subject suffering from a tumor. Provided is a method comprising a step of testing for the presence or absence of an a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN in a sample of tumor tissue from the subject. By using the presence or absence of or a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN as an indicator, this method enables the antitumor effectiveness of the angiogenesis inhibitor to be predicted without administering the angiogenesis inhibitor to the subject.

Abstract: Biomarkers are provided that predict whether a human subject having a renal cell carcinoma is responsive to a combination therapy comprising lenvatinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., lenvatinib mesylate) and everolimus. The biomarkers, compositions, and methods described herein are useful in selecting appropriate treatment modalities for and treating a subject having, suspected of having, or at risk of developing a renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract: Biomarkers are provided that predict whether a subject having a hepatocellular carcinoma is responsive to a therapy comprising soratenib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The biomarkers, compositions, and methods described herein are useful in selecting appropriate treatment modalities for and treating a subject having, suspected of having, or at risk of developing a hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract: Biomarkers are provided that are predictive of a subject's responsiveness to a combination therapy comprising lenvatinib compound and a PD-1 antagonist. The biomarkers, compositions, and methods described herein are useful in selecting appropriate treatment modalities for a subject having, suspected of having, or at risk of developing cancer.
