PATIENT SELECTION FOR ENHANCEMENT OF ANTI-TUMOR IMMUNITY IN CANCER PATIENTS

摘要

A method for increasing the progression free survival or overall survival of a patient with cancer comprising: determining if the cancer has a surrounding microenvironment that is favorable to immune modulation; determining if the chemotherapy regimen induces immunogenic cell death, and if both are yes, administering an effective amount of a CDK 4/6 inhibitor selected from Compounds I, II, III, IV, or V, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the CDK4/6 inhibitor is administered prior to the administration of the chemotherapy or optionally prior to and concurrently with chemotherapy; and, wherein the increase in progression free survival or overall survival is in comparison to the progression free survival or overall survival based on administration of the chemotherapy alone, either based on literature or otherwise publicly available evidence, a comparative during preclinical or clinical trials, or other means accepted by persons skilled in the field.
