Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor, e.g., lung cancer, having a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) status comprising administering to the subject an immunotherapy, e.g., an anti-PD-I antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. The present disclosure also provides a method for identifying a subject suitable for an immunotherapy, e.g., a treatment with an anti-PD-I antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof, comprising measuring a TMB status of a biological sample of the subject. A high TMB status identifies the patient as suitable for treatment with an anti-PD-I antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. The TMB status can be determined by sequencing nucleic acids in the tumor and identifying a genomic alteration, e.g., a somatic nonsynonymous mutation, in the sequenced nucleic acids.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor derived from a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of (a) an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof or an anti-PD-L1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof and (b) an anti-CTLA-4 antibody or an antigen binding portion thereof, wherein the tumor has a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) status. The TMB status can be determined by sequencing nucleic acids in the tumor and identifying a genomic alteration, e.g., a somatic nonsynonymous mutation, in the sequenced nucleic acids.

Abstract: This invention relates a method of treating hyperproliferative diseases. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of treating hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancer, comprising the step of administering to a mammal in need of such treatment, either simultaneously or sequentially, (i) a therapeutically effective amount of a taxane derivative, a platinium coordination complex selected from the group consisting of carboplatin, tetraplatin, and topotecan, a nucleoside analog selected from the group consisting of gemcitabine hydrochloride and 5-FU, an anthracycline, a topoisomerase selected from the group consisting of etoposide, teniposide, amsacrine, topotecan, and Camptosar®, an aromatase inhibitor; and (ii) a therapeutically effective amount of an isothiazole derivative. The combinations of the present invention may optionally include an anti-hypertensive agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of treating drug side effects in cancer treatment. More particularly, the present invention relates to preventing, reducing, alleviating, or reversing diarrhea caused by the administration of the isothiazole 3-(4-Bromo-2,6-difluoro-benzyloxy)-5-[3-(4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-butyl)-ureido]-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid amide in the treatment of cancer comprising the step of administering to a patient in need of such treatment, prior to, simultaneously, or sequentially, a therapeutically effective amount of 3-(4-Bromo-2,6-difluoro-benzyloxy)-5-[3-(4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-butyl)-ureido]-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-diarrheal agent, a bulking agent, or an anti-estrogen. The combinations of the present invention may optionally include an anti-hypertensive agent.

Abstract: The invention provides dosage forms of a compound of formula 1: or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof. The invention further provides methods of treating hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancers, by administering the dosage forms to a mammal.
