Harnessing Variability Signatures and Biological Noise May Enhance Immunotherapies’ Efficacy and Act as Novel Biomarkers for Diagnosing and Monitoring Immune-Associated Disorders

Lack of response to immunotherapies poses a significant challenge in treating immune-mediated disorders and cancers. While the mechanisms associated with poor responsiveness are not well defined and change between and among subjects, the current methods for overcoming the loss of response are insufficient. The Constrained Disorder Principle (CDP) explains biological systems based on their inherent variability, bounded by dynamic boundaries that change in response to internal and external perturbations. Inter and intra-subject variability characterize the immune system, making it difficult to provide a single therapeutic regimen to all patients and even the same patients over time. The dynamicity of the immune variability is also a significant challenge for personalizing immunotherapies. The CDP-based second-generation artificial intelligence system is an outcome-based dynamic platform that incorporates personalized variability signatures into the therapeutic regimen and may provide methods for improving the response and overcoming the loss of response to treatments. The signatures of immune variability may also offer a method for identifying new biomarkers for early diagnosis, monitoring immune-related disorders, and evaluating the response to treatments.
