Abstract
Multimodal cancer immunotherapy is a combination of cancer immunotherapies used to treat cancer in patients. T cell receptor diversity is used as a component of a method to treat cancer involving cancer therapy, including multimodal cancer immunotherapy.
Claims9
A method of treating cancer in a patient who has been receiving a multimodal cancer immunotherapy for at least two months, the method comprising:
- a. calculating T cell receptor (TCR) diversity in a blood sample from the cancer patient before initiation of the multimodal cancer immunotherapy, or at initiation of the multimodal cancer immunotherapy;
- b. calculating the TCR diversity in a blood sample from the cancer patient at least two months after initiation of the multimodal cancer immunotherapy to the patient;
- c. comparing the TCR diversity from steps a and b;
- and
- d. continuing administration of the multimodal cancer immunotherapy to the patient, if the T cell receptor (TCR) diversity in the blood sample from the patient increases at least three-fold between steps a and b;
- wherein
- the multimodal cancer immunotherapy comprises an NK cell selected from the group consisting of aNK, haNK, taNK, and t-haNK;
- or
- the multimodal cancer immunotherapy comprises two or more immunotherapies selected from the group consisting of a viral vector expressing an antigen, a yeast immunotherapy, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, and an IL-15 superagonist.
