First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of treating a cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising treating the subject with an anti-PD-1 antibody, measuring a level of IL-17 produced by CD4+ T-cells in the subject, identifying an increase in IL-17 produced by CD4+ T-cells, and administering to the subject a combination of an anti-IL-17 antibody and an anti-PD-1 antibody, wherein the cancer is colon cancer or lung cancer. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is not responsive to treatment with the anti-PD-1 antibody alone. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is lung cancer. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is colon cancer. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combination of the anti-IL-17 antibody and the anti-PD-1 antibody is administered in a singular formulation. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combination of the anti-IL-17 antibody and the anti-PD-1 antibody is administered in separate formulations. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IL-17 measured in the measuring step is IL-17A.
