Abstract
Cancer therapies that combine epigenetic modulating agent(s) with immune modulating agent(s), which were remarkably identified to provide an improved treatment regimen over single agent therapy, are disclosed. In particular embodiments, the invention provides for improved treatment of NSCLC in patients via administration of exemplary immune modulating agents anti-PD-1 antibody or anti-PD-L1 antibody, which were observed to show enhanced activity in combination with the exemplary epigenetic modulating agent 5-deoxyazacytidine. Further, expression markers of responsive neoplastic cells are also disclosed.
