  • Patent number: 11674962
    Abstract: The present invention provides therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic methods for cancer. The invention provides methods of treating a cancer, methods of determining whether an individual having a cancer is likely to respond to a treatment including an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., a PD-L1 axis binding antagonist), methods of predicting responsiveness of an individual having a cancer to a treatment including an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., a PD-L1 axis binding antagonist), methods of selecting a therapy for an individual having a cancer, methods of providing a prognosis for an individual having a cancer, and methods of monitoring a response of an individual having a cancer, based on a blood tumor mutational burden (bTMB) score or a maximum somatic allele frequency (MSAF) from a sample (e.g., a whole blood sample, a plasma sample, a serum sample, or a combination thereof) from the individual.

  • Publication number: 20220412981
    Abstract: The present invention provides therapeutic and diagnostic methods and compositions for cancer, for example, lung cancer (e.g., NSCLC), bladder cancer (e.g., UC), kidney cancer (e.g., RCC), breast cancer (e.g., TNBC), or melanoma. The invention provides methods of treating cancer (e.g., lung cancer (e.g., NSCLC), bladder cancer (e.g., UC), kidney cancer (e.g., RCC), breast cancer (e.g., TNBC), or melanoma), methods of determining whether a patient suffering from cancer (e.g., lung cancer (e.g., NSCLC), bladder cancer (e.g., UC), kidney cancer (e.g., RCC), breast cancer (e.g., TNBC), or melanoma) is likely to respond to treatment comprising a PD-L1 axis binding antagonist, methods of predicting responsiveness of a patient suffering from cancer (e.g., lung cancer (e.g., NSCLC), bladder cancer (e.g., UC), kidney cancer (e.g., RCC), breast cancer (e.g., TNBC), or melanoma) to treatment comprising a PD-L1 axis binding antagonist, and methods of selecting a therapy for a patient suffering from cancer (e.g.
