    Abstract: A method is disclosed for predicting in advance whether a melanoma patient is likely to benefit from high dose IL2 therapy in treatment of the cancer. The method makes use of mass spectrometry data obtained from a blood-based sample of the patient and a computer configured as a classifier and making use of a reference set of mass spectral data obtained from a development set of blood-based samples from other melanoma patients. A variety of classifiers for making this prediction are disclosed, including a classifier developed from a set of blood-based samples obtained from melanoma patients treated with high dose IL2 as well as melanoma patients treated with an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy drug. The classifiers developed from anti-PD-1 and IL2 patient sample cohorts can also be used in combination to guide treatment of a melanoma patient.

    Abstract: A method for classifier generation includes a step of obtaining data for classification of a multitude of samples, the data for each of the samples consisting of a multitude of physical measurement feature values and a class label. Individual mini-classifiers are generated using sets of features from the samples. The performance of the mini-classifiers is tested, and those that meet a performance threshold are retained. A master classifier is generated by conducting a regularized ensemble training of the retained/filtered set of mini-classifiers to the classification labels for the samples, e.g., by randomly selecting a small fraction of the filtered mini-classifiers (drop out regularization) and conducting logistical training on such selected mini-classifiers. The set of samples are randomly separated into a test set and a training set. The steps of generating the mini-classifiers, filtering and generating a master classifier are repeated for different realizations of the separation of the set of samples into test and training sets, thereby generating a plurality of master classifiers. A final classifier is defined from one or a combination of more than one of the master classifiers.

    Abstract: Classifier generation methods are described in which features used in classification (e.g., mass spectral peaks) are selected, or deselected using bagged filtering. A development sample set is split into two subsets, one of which is used as a training set the other of which is set aside. We define a classifier (e.g., K-nearest neighbor, decision tree, margin-based classifier or other) using the training subset and at least one of the features (or subsets of two or more features in combination). We apply the classifier to a subset of samples. A filter is applied to the performance of the classifier on the sample subset and the at least one feature is added to a “filtered feature list” if the classifier performance passes the filter. We do this for many different realizations of the separation of the development sample set into two subsets, and, for each realization, different features or sets of features in combination. After all the iterations are performed the filtered feature list is used to either select features, or deselect features, for a final classifier.

    Abstract: A method and system for predicting in advance of treatment whether a cancer patient is likely, or not likely, to obtain benefit from administration of a yeast-based immune response generating therapy, which may be yeast-based immunotherapy for mutated Ras-based cancer, alone or in combination with another anti-cancer therapy. The method uses mass spectrometry of a blood-derived patient sample and a computer configured as a classifier using a training set of class-labeled spectra from other cancer patients that either benefited or did not benefit from an immune response generating therapy alone or in combination with another anti-cancer therapy. Also disclosed are methods of treatment of a cancer patient, comprising administering a yeast-based immune response generating therapy, which may be yeast-based immunotherapy for mutated Ras-based cancer, to a patient selected by a test in accordance with predictive mass spectral methods disclosed herein, in which the class label for the spectra indicates the patient is likely to benefit from the yeast-based immunotherapy.

    Abstract: A mass-spectral method is disclosed for determining whether breast cancer patient is likely to benefit from a combination treatment in the form of administration of a targeted anti-cancer drug in addition to an endocrine therapy drug. The method obtains a mass spectrum from a blood-based sample from the patient. The spectrum is subject to one or more predefined pre-processing steps. Values of selected features in the spectrum at one or more predefined m/z ranges are obtained. The values are used in a classification algorithm using a training set comprising class-labeled spectra and a class label for the sample is obtained. If the class label is “Poor”, the patient is identified as being likely to benefit from the combination treatment. In a variation, the “Poor” class label predicts whether the patient is unlikely to benefit from endocrine therapy drugs alone, regardless of the patient's HER2 status.

    Abstract: A method of analyzing a biological sample, for example serum or other blood-based samples, using a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer instrument is described. The method includes the steps of applying the sample to a sample spot on a MALDI-TOF sample plate and directing more than 20,000 laser shots to the sample at the sample spot and collecting mass-spectral data from the instrument. In some embodiments at least 100,000 laser shots and even 500,000 shots are directed onto the sample. It has been discovered that this approach, referred to as “deep-MALDI”, leads to a reduction in the noise level in the mass spectra and that a significant amount of additional spectral information can be obtained from the sample. Moreover, peaks visible at lower number of shots become better defined and allow for more reliable comparisons between samples.
