We classified unresponsiveness reasons into i). unresponsvieness because of local reasons ii). unresponsiveness because of having systemic immunosuppressive property (SIP). In addition, we found immune response after PD-1 blockade is associated with mitochondrial activation. Based on this result, we concluded that mitochondrial activation could be biomarker to identify responder and nonresponders. Further, we found SIP-positive tumors release non-proteinaceous small molecule that inhibit mitochondrial activation and proliferation of T cells. Bezafibrate when used alongwith culture superntant cancels the suppressive effect of supernatnat. Bezafibrate treatment alongwith PD-1 blockade enhances the survival of host bearing SIP-positive tumor compared to PD-1 blockade alone.
