Disclosed herein are biomarkers and uses thereof for evaluating anti-cancer efficacy and sensitivity.

Claims (5)

1. A method of predicting or monitoring the efficacy an anti-cancer agent in a subject with cancer comprising:

(a) administering the agent to the subject with cancer, wherein the agent is TRA-8 or an antibody having the same epitope specificity as TRA-8;

(b) acquiring a biological sample from the subject; and

(c) detecting levels of PGK1, an increase in levels compared to baseline levels indicating efficacy.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody having the same epitope specificity as TRA-8 is a humanized version of TRA-8.
