Predict patient response to immune targeted therapies

Predict patient response to immune targeted therapies

Match tumor microenvironment phenotype to therapeutic mechanism of action

We are developing a clinical trial application (CTA) using the Xerna™ TME Panel licensed from OncXerna Therapeutics, Inc. This is a novel diagnostic that uses RNA gene expression data and a machine learning algorithm to classify patients based on the dominant biologies of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The great advantage of this is that patients can be matched with therapies that directly address these biologies.

Predict patient response to immune targeted therapies

The Xerna TME Panel helps to identify the dominant biology of the TME and classify patient tumors into one of four TME subtypes:

  • Angiogenic (A)
  • Immune Suppressed (IS)
  • Immune Active (IA)
  • Immune Desert (ID)

These subtypes can be used to match the patient’s biology to the therapeutic mechanism of action and can help to predict which patients are most likely to benefit from specific immune targeted therapies.

Retrospective analysis of tumor biopsies showed that responses were enhanced in Xerna™ TME biomarker-positive patients while higher progressive disease rates were observed in biomarker-negative patients.
