Techniques for determining whether a subject is likely to respond to an immune checkpoint blockade therapy. The techniques include obtaining expression data for the subject, using the expression data to determine subject expression levels for at least three genes selected from the set of predictor genes consisting of BRAF, ACVR1B, MPRIP, PRKAG1, STX2, AGPAT3, FYN, CMIP, ROBO4, RAB40C, HAUS8, SNAP23, SNX6, ACVR1B, MPRIP, COPS3, NLRX1, ELAC2, MON1B, ARF3, ARPIN, SPRYD3, FLI1, TIRAP, GSE1, POLR3K, PIGO, MFHAS1, NPIPA1, DPH6, ERLIN2, CES2, LHFP, NAIF1, ALCAM, SYNE1, SPINT1, SMTN, SLCA46A1, SAP25, WISP2, TSTD1, NLRX1, NPIPA1, HIST1H2AC, FUT8, FABP4, ERBB2, TUBA1A, XAGE1E, SERPINF1, RAI14, SIRPA, MT1X, NEK3, TGFB3, USP13, HLA-DRB4, IGF2, and MICAL1; and determining, using the determined expression levels and a statistical model trained using expression data indicating expression levels for a plurality of genes for a plurality of subjects, whether the subject is likely to respond to the immune checkpoint blockade therapy. |
