Abstract
The invention relates to methods for predicting the response of a patient with a malignant disease to immunotherapy with a pharmaceutical compound that is designed to inhibit an immunoregulatory effect of an immune checkpoint selected from cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) and its ligands Cluster of differentiation 80 (CD80) and Cluster of Differentiation 86 (CD86). The methods are based on a DNA methylation analysis of the CTLA4 gene of cells of the malignant disease and/or T lymphocytes interacting with said cells of the malignant disease.
