Application of bacteria in preparation of synergist for immune checkpoint inhibitor

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of bacteria in preparation of a synergist for an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The bacteria are active bacteria or inactive whole-cell gut microbiota. By using a monobacterial oral preparation of human endogenous gut microbiota Alistipes combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, an anti-tumor immune protective response and an effect of remodeling gut microbiota is generated by stimulation of oral administration of active human commensal gut microbiota or inactive whole-cell human commensal gut microbiota, which significantly enhances an efficacy of the immune checkpoint inhibitor on multiple tumor species, enhances anti-tumor immune function, is conducive to improving the response rate of cancer immunotherapy populations, and has better safety, prolongs overall survival time of cancer patients, expands cancer patient population benefited from cancer immunotherapy (immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors), provides new combination therapy regimens and therapeutic drugs to treat immune checkpoint inhibitor-refractory tumor patients, and expands the patient benefited from cancer immunotherapy.
