Identifying Immune-related Biomarkers to Predict the Efficacy of Cancer Immunotherapy-IMMUNO-SUP-IPC 2017-002

The development of Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) is a revolution in medical oncology as ICB have changed the standard treatments of several metastatic tumor types. However, the response rate to ICB is low, and the biological bases for this response heterogeneity are poorly understood.

In the frame of Immunosup study, we will collect blood (at baseline, post infusion of ICB n°2/4/8 and at progression) and tumor samples (optional: at baseline and progression) from patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancer, treated with ICB, in order to determine if the dynamics of immunosuppressive actors (MDSC, TReg, Immunosuppressive cytokines) predicts response to these immunotherapies.
