The use of single-analyte biomarkers (e.g. PD-L1 expression) has yielded modest results in the quest to accurately predict which patients are likely to respond (or not) to immunotherapies and their combinations with other treatment modalities. In the immunotherapy age, it’s clear that more effective patient stratification techniques will require the integration of multiple biomarkers that [...]

For certain types of immunotherapies, the incidence of adverse events (AEs) such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and other immune-related AEs (irAEs) has served to temper excitement related to otherwise promising clinical outcomes. This has prompted the exploration of biomarkers that can be used to predict AE risk both before and during treatment. Cytokine [...]
While understanding the reasons why certain patients are resistant to oncology therapies is important, it is even more critical to ensure that they are administered only to patients who are expected to respond. Therefore, the identification and use molecular markers that are predictive of response is imperative in bringing the curative potential of immuno-oncology [...]
Despite the success of ICIs, the majority of initial non-responders tend to progress at a natural rate, and a significant proportion of initial responders eventually relapse. Thus, understanding the underlying biological mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to immunotherapy has become a major focus of the field. ImmunoID NeXT provides insight into the following [...]
