    Abstract: The present invention describes the use of EphrinB2 expression as a biomarker to evaluate the efficacy of treatment and to assist physicians in deciding on the course of a treatment in an individual suffering from a platinum resistant metastatic cancer. In one aspect, the invention provides methods to diagnose and select a subject with cancer for treatment using an EphB4-EphrinB2 inhibitor, or an EphB4-EphrinB2 inhibitor in combination with an immune stimulating drug, as front-line therapy for treatment of cancers, for treatment of a number of cancers where standard therapies have been shown to be ineffective, result in relapse, or are not even considered for use due to the type of cancer and related tumors, and/or for treatment of a number of cancers wherein the subject is currently on a course of treatment with an immune stimulating drug.

    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for treating cancer in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a polypeptide agent that inhibits EphB4 or EphrinB2 mediated functions. In various embodiments the methods further provide administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The present inventors have demonstrated that the synergistic effect of the combination of an EphB4-EphrinB2 inhibitor and checkpoint inhibitor provides superior progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rates (ORR) patients with various cancers by activating T cell and promoting T cell and NK cell trafficking into the tumor and via migration of immune cells (e.g., CD3 and CD8) into the tumor.
