Biomarkers useful for identifying a variety of cancers that are responsive to treatment with a combination therapy comprising pembrolizumab, a pembrolizumab variant or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and talimogene laherparepvec are provided. Methods of treating cancers that are resistant to monotherapy with pembrolizumab, a pembrolizumab variant or an antigen-binding fragment thereof are provided. Methods of treating a cancer in a subject having a tumor with a low CD8+ density, a low or negative interferon gamma signature, and/or a low or negative PD-L1 status are also provided.

Biomarkers for cancer therapeutics

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination comprising an alpha-isoform specific phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor compound, such as (S)-Pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 2-amide 1-({4-methyl-5-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-pyridin-4-yl]-thiazol-2-yl}-amide), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) inhibitor (e.g., the IGF1R inhibitor ANTIBODY A, or a variant or derivative thereof), a pharmaceutical composition comprising such combination, methods for treating cancer comprising administration of therapeutically effective amounts of such inhibitors to a subject in need thereof, and uses of such combination for the treatment of cancer.

Combination therapy

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination comprising a MEK inhibitor compound 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (2-hydroxyethyoxy)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the IGF1R inhibitor ANTIBODY A, a pharmaceutical composition comprising such combination, methods for treating cancer comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of such combination to a subject in need thereof, and uses of such combination for the treatment of cancer.
