Benefits of technology

This biomarker-based approach offers a quick, cost-effective, and less invasive method for predicting bladder cancer recurrence, improving patient follow-up and reducing the reliance on toxic treatments by accurately classifying high-risk patients and monitoring disease progression.

Problems solved by technology

However from external validation analysis data, this risk tables exhibit a poor discrimination for both disease recurrence and progression in NMIBC patients.
In particular, this model overestimates the risk of disease recurrence and progression in high-risk patients (Xylinas et al.
Several analyses demonstrated that BCG is more effective than chemotherapy for reducing the recurrence and progression of bladder cancer, but it is more toxic (Bohle et al.
Those treatments are quite heavy to support and inconvenient for the patient.

first embodiment

of the Invention

[0062]According to said first embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for monitoring the recurrence of a cancer in a patient, comprising a step of measuring the proportion of CD8+ T lymphocytes population expressing ILT-2 within the total population of CD8+ T lymphocytes in a biological sample obtained from said patient, wherein when said proportion is high, then the patient is classified as high risk.

[0063]Preferably said method is for monitoring the recurrence of a cancer in a patient, wherein when the proportion of CD8+ T lymphocytes population expressing ILT-2 (i.e. “ILT-2+ CD8+ T lymphocytes”) within the total population of CD8+ T lymphocytes is high, then the patient is classified as high risk; and wherein when the proportion of CD8+ T lymphocytes population expressing ILT-2 within the total population of CD8+ T lymphocytes is low, then the patient is classified as non high risk.

[0064]Preferably, said method is for monitoring the recurrence of a c...

second embodiment

of the Invention

[0073]According to said second embodiment, the present invention also relates to a method for the prognosis of the outcome of a patient afflicted by bladder cancer or for monitoring the recurrence of bladder cancer in a patient, wherein said method comprises:[0074]a) a step of measuring the plasma level of soluble HLA-G in a first biological sample obtained from said patient, and[0075]b) a step of measuring the proportion of CD8+ T lymphocytes population expressing ILT-2 within the total population of CD8+ T lymphocytes in a second biological sample obtained from said patient,

wherein:[0076]when the proportion measured at step b) is less than 20%, then the patient is classified as non high risk, and[0077]when the proportion measured at step b) is more than 20% and the plasma level of soluble HLA-G is more than 20 ng / mL, then the patient is classified as high risk.

[0078]The method according to said second embodiment of the invention is quick, sensitive and reliable in ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for prognosis and monitoring of a cancer, preferably bladder cancer, by measuring the proportion of CD8+ T Lymphocytes expressing ILT-2 and the plasma level of soluble HLA-G. The invention also relates to anti HLA-G antibodies for use for treating a cancer in which tumor cells express HLA-G, preferably bladder cancer.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 518,864 filed Apr. 13, 2017, which is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT / EP2015 / 073963, filed Oct. 16, 2015, which claims the benefit of European Patent Application No. 14306665.2, filed Oct. 17, 2014.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to methods for the prognosis or for the monitoring of cancer, preferably bladder cancer.[0003]The invention further relates to the use of anti HLA-G antibodies for the treatment of bladder cancer.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Bladder cancer is a very common malignancy: it is the sixth most common cancer in the US. In 2012, there were an estimated 73 510 new cases of bladder cancer and 14 880 bladder cancer-related deaths in the United States.[0005]According to the American Cancer Society, in 2014, the risk men will develop this cancer during their life is about 1 in 26 and ...
