  • Patent number: 10813939
    Abstract: Inhibition of bromodomain proteins in antigen presenting cells is shown herein to be more inflammatory, to display lower expression of the immunosuppressive molecule PDL1, and to be capable of restoring the responsiveness of tolerant T-cells. Therefore, disclosed is a method for promoting T-cell activation during cancer immunotherapy in a subject that involves administering to a subject undergoing cancer immunotherapy a composition comprising a bromodomain inhibitor. Also disclosed is a method for treating cancer in a subject, comprising co-administering to the subject a bromodomain inhibitor and an immunostimulatory agent.

  • Publication number: 20170068789
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, including a system for providing treatment suggestions. The system includes a data warehouse including patient data for a plurality of patients associated with one or more care facilities, and one or more processors including instructions for implementing an evidence-based clinical decision engine. The engine is operable to: identify patient cohorts defined by the data in the data warehouse including identifying relevant cohorts that include a population of patients who are similar, both by phenotype and genotype, to a candidate patient; evaluate the patient cohorts to identify a cohort that is a best match for the candidate patient based on historical treatment information for patients in each candidate patient cohort; select a cohort from the plurality of cohorts; and provide a treatment suggestion to the patient or a care provider based on the selection.
