The invention provides methods for predicting responsiveness of a subject to therapy with a CTLA-4 blocking agent. The methods involve assaying for at least one CTLA-4 polymorphism in the subject and predicting responsiveness of the subject to therapy with a CTLA-4 blocking agent based on presence or absence of a CTLA-4 polymorphic allele in the subject. The methods can further comprise selecting a treatment regimen with a CTLA-4 blocking agent in a subject based upon presence or absence of a CTLA-4 polymorphic allele in the subject. The methods can further comprise administering a CTLA-4 blocking agent to the subject according to the selected treatment regimen. Kits comprising a CTLA-4 blocking agent and means for assaying one or more CTLA-4 polymorphisms, optionally including a vaccine, are also provided.

L'invention concerne des méthodes permettant de pronostiquer la réponse d'un sujet à une thérapie par agent bloquant de CTLA-4. Ces méthodes consistent à rechercher au moins un polymorphisme de CTLA-4 chez un sujet et de prévoir la réponse de ce dernier à une thérapie faisant intervenir un agent de blocage de CTLA-4 compte tenu de la présence ou de l'absence d'un allèle polymorphique de CTLA-4 chez ledit sujet. De plus, ces méthodes peuvent consister à choisir pour un sujet un traitement avec agent de blocage de CTLA-4 compte tenu de la présence ou de l'absence d'un allèle polymorphique de CTLA-4 chez ledit sujet, et à administrer par ailleurs à ce sujet un agent de blocage de CTLA-4 conformément au traitement retenu. Sont également décrits un agent de blocage de CTLA-4 et des moyens permettant d'analyser un ou plusieurs polymorphismes de CTLA-4, avec éventuellement un vaccin.
