Abstract: The invention relates to gut microbiota profiles associated with response or resistance to treatments with ICB, in particular with anti-PD1 or anti PD-L1 or anti-PD-L2 antibodies. In particular, the invention pertains to a theranostic method for identifying good responders, to whom an anti-PD1 or anti PD-L1 or anti-PD-L2 can be administered, while a pre-treatment based on FMT and/or immunogenic probiotics is recommended to bad responders exhibiting a dysbiosis. In particular, the present invention pertains to Akkermansia muciniphila as the main commensal species distinguishing responders from progressors and its use alone or with E. hirae for the treatment of antibiotics or gut repertoire insufficiency-associated dysbiosis.

Abstract: Methods and uses for enhancing or restoring the antitumor response, such as the antitumor immune mediated by immune checkpoint inhibitors, in cancer patients, are described. These methods are based on the administration of castalagin or analogs thereof, and are particularly useful for the treatment of tumors resistant to immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
