Abstract
Methods of predicting or detecting sensitivity to therapeutic effects of anti-PD-1 therapy in a patient suffering from melanoma, as well as for selecting somatic mutanomes and transcriptomes of melanoma biopsies. A tumor sample obtained from the patient is assayed for a measure of anti-PD-1 therapy sensitivity via, for example, whole transcriptome sequencing, antibody based protein quantifications, mass spectrometry based protein quantification, targeted mRNA sequencing, real-time RT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, targeted sequencing and/or whole exome/genome sequencing. Samples are selected that exhibit a higher first enrichment similarity score and/or a lower second enrichment similarity score, and/or at least one measure of sensitivity. A patient whose sample was selected herein as a candidate for anti-PD-1 therapy is thereby identified. The method of the invention can further comprise treating the patient with anti-PD-1 therapy, optionally in conjunction with combinatorial therapy.
