Title:
NOVEL BIOMARKER FOR CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/168949
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a technique for predicting a responder prior to beginning cancer immunotherapy. The present invention provides a method for using the T cell receptor (TCR) diversity of a subject as an indicator of the responsiveness of the subject to cancer immunotherapy. The present invention also provides a composition including an immune checkpoint inhibitor, wherein the composition is for treating cancer in a subject having high TCR diversity of the T cells. The present invention also pertains to a companion drug in which such TCR diversity is used.
