  • Publication number: 20220380854
    Abstract: The invention relates to (i) an angiogenesis gene signature and (ii) a monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell (mMDSC) gene signature that are each predictive of patient response to treatment with a PD-1 antagonist, wherein the angiogenesis signature comprises five or more genes. More specifically, a lower angiogenesis score is associated with favorable response to a PD-1 antagonist in a patient with cancer. Similarly, a lower mMDSC score is associated with favorable response to a PD-1 antagonist in a patient with cancer. Also provided are methods of treating a cancer patient with a PD-1 antagonist that were identified as either (i) positive for the angiogenesis gene signature biomarker of the invention or (ii) positive for the mMDSC gene signature biomarker of the invention.
