Immunoassays validated to clinical laboratory standards from patient derived serum and plasma can correlate with what is going on in the tumor micro-environment and answer 3 major challenges in immuno-oncology drug development:

1. Demonstrate pharmacodynamic effects of treatment
2. Provide a basis for what type of patients are the best responders
3. Correlating on-drug effects with  clinical responses:
   • desired = tumor shrinkage, survival, well-being
   • undesired = side effects, adverse events, toxicity

Myriad RBM’s multiplex analysis of several broad groups of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors from blood can profile key aspects of immunotherapy for cancer:

1. T cell presence and IFNg signaling
2. Inflammation status
3. MDSCs  (myeloid derived suppressor cells)
4. Tumor burden
5. Angiogenesis
