Abstract: The present application describes extending time to disease progression or survival in a cancer patient, where the patient's cancer displays HER activation, by treating the patient with a HER dimerization inhibitor, such as pertuzumab.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for measuring the number of CD4+ OX40+ Foxp3+ lymphocytes in a sample containing cancer cells and lymphocytes obtained from a subject by labeling lymphocytes that show CD4 expression in the sample, then labeling lymphocytes that show OX40 expression in the sample, then labeling lymphocytes that show Foxp3 expression in the sample, then measuring the number of CD4+ OX40+ Foxp3+ lymphocytes in the sample. Further provided are methods for determining the prognosis of a subject, predicting responsiveness of a subject having cancer to an OX40 agonist treatment, and methods for treating or delaying progression of cancer based on the number of CD4+ OX40+ Foxp3+ lymphocytes in a sample.
Abstract: The present invention describes combination treatment comprising a PD-1 axis binding antagonist, chemotherapy and optionally a VEGF antagonist and methods for use thereof, including methods of treating conditions where enhanced immunogenicity is desired such as increasing tumor immunogenicity for the treatment of cancer.
Abstract: The present invention relates to mutations in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and methods of detecting such mutations as well as prognostic methods method for identifying a tumors that are susceptible to anticancer therapy such as chemotherapy and/or kinase inhibitor treatment. The methods involve determining the presence of a mutated EGFR gene or mutated EGFR protein in a tumor sample whereby the presence of a mutated EGFR gene or protein indicates the tumor is susceptible to treatment.
