METHODS FOR TREATING SOLID TUMORS AND THE USE OF BIOMARKERS AS A PREDICTOR OF CLINICAL SENSITIVITY TO IMMUNOMODULATORY THERAPIES

摘要

A method of identifying a subject having a solid tumor who is likely to be responsive to a treatment compound, comprising: administering the treatment compound to a subject having the solid tumor; obtaining a sample from the subject; determining the level of a biomarker in the sample from the subject, and diagnosing the subject as being likely to be responsive to the treatment compound if the level of the biomarker in the sample of the subject changes as compared to a reference level of the biomarker.
