Application: Methods and systems for evaluation of immune cell infiltrate in tumor samples (Patent ID: US20230419489A1)
The patent by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. describes a method for evaluating tumors by quantifying immune cell markers in tumor tissue samples and applying a non-linear continuous scoring function to generate an immune context score (ICS) indicative of patient outcomes. The ICS can be used for prognostic purposes, such as determining overall survival, disease-specific survival, or progression-free survival, as well as predicting the likelihood of response to specific treatments. The method involves calculating feature metrics for immune cell markers, including CD3 and total lymphocyte counts, within specific regions of interest in the tumor tissue, and integrating these metrics with clinical variables to make diagnostic and treatment decisions.
The patent also includes claims related to the method, such as quantitating total lymphocytes and immune cell markers in different regions of interest within the tumor tissue, applying a non-linear continuous scoring function to generate the ICS, and using the ICS for prognostic purposes by comparing it to predetermined cutoffs or integrating it with clinical variables. The method can be implemented using an image analysis system and computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Additionally, the patent describes various scenarios for calculating feature vectors, including registering serial sections of tissue samples stained for different immune cell markers and deriving quantitative measures of lymphocytes based on different cell densities and ratios within the regions of interest.
