Abstract

The present invention provides diagnostic methods, therapeutic methods, and compositions for the treatment of cancer (e.g., kidney cancer (e.g., renal cell carcinoma (RCC)), lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)), bladder cancer (e.g., urothelial bladder cancer (UBC)), liver cancer (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)), ovarian cancer, or breast cancer (e.g., triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC))). The invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that expression levels of one or more biomarkers described herein in a sample from an individual having cancer can be used in methods of predicting the therapeutic efficacy of treatment with a VEGF antagonist (e.g., an anti-VEGF antibody, (e.g., bevacizumab) or a VEGFR inhibitor (e.g., a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g., sunitinib, axitinib, pazopanib, or cabozantinib))) and a PD-L1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., a PD-L1 binding antagonist (e.g., anti-PD-L1 antibody, e.g., atezolizumab (MPDL3280A)) or a PD-1 binding antagonist (e.g., anti-PD-1 antibody)), or with an angiogenesis inhibitor (e.g., a VEGF antagonist (e.g., a VEGFR inhibitor, (e.g., a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g., sunitinib, axitinib, pazopanib, or cabozantinib)))).
