Abstract: An immune response subtype of cancer is associated with DNA damage which allows subjects to be stratified for particular therapies including immune therapies which may be combined with DNA damage therapeutics. A method for predicting responsiveness to an antagonist of an inhibitory immune checkpoint and/or an agonist of a stimulatory immune checkpoint comprises determining the expression level of at least one gene selected from Table 2B, 2A or 1 in a sample from the subject. The determined expression level is used to predict responsiveness to an antagonist of an inhibitory immune checkpoint and/or an agonist of a stimulatory immune checkpoint.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the identification of a molecular diagnostic test for cancer. The test identifies cancer subtypes that have an up-regulation or a down-regulation in biomarker expression related to angiogenesis and vascular development. The present invention can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to administration of any anti-angiogenic agent. This test may be used in different cancer types and with different drugs that directly or indirectly affect angiogenesis or angiogenesis signalling. In addition, the present invention may be used as a prognostic indicator for certain cancer types. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of predictive markers, wherein the expression of the predictive markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the identification of a molecular diagnostic test for cancer. The test defines a novel DNA damage repair deficient molecular subtype and enables classification of a patient within this subtype. The present invention can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to administration of any chemotherapy. This test may be used in different cancer types and with different drugs that directly or indirectly affect DNA damage or repair, such as many of the standard cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs currently in use. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of predictive markers, wherein the expression of the predictive markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen.

Abstract: Methods for selecting whether to administer an anti-angiogenic therapeutic agent to a subject include steps of measuring the expression levels of one or more biomarkers selected from Table 2 or Table 3 in a sample from the subject; assessing from the expression levels of the one or more biomarkers whether the sample from the subject is positive or negative for a biomarker signature, wherein if the sample is positive for the biomarker signature an anti-angiogenic therapeutic agent is contraindicated. Related prognostic methods and treatment methods are also provided. The invention is particularly applicable in ovarian and colorectal cancers.
