The present disclosure also provides a method for identifying a subject suitable for an immunotherapy, e.g., a treatment with an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof, comprising measuring a TMB status of a biological sample of the subject. A high TMB status identifies the patient as suitable for treatment with an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. The TMB status can be determined by sequencing nucleic acids in the tumor and identifying a genomic alteration, e.g., a somatic nonsynonymous mutation, in the sequenced nucleic acids. Background/SummaryFIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0001] The present disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor having a high tumor mutational burden (TMB) status comprising administering to the subject an immunotherapy. In some embodiments, the immunotherapy comprises an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In certain embodiments, the immunotherapy comprises an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof or an anti-PD-L1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY [0002] The content of the electronically submitted sequence listing in ASCII text file (Name: 3338066PC02_sequence_ST25.txt; Size: 38,235 bytes; and Date of Creation: Mar. 30, 2018) is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0003] Human cancers harbor numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations, generating neoantigens potentially recognizable by the immune system (Sjoblom et al., Science (2006) 314(5797):268-274). The adaptive immune system, comprised of T and B lymphocytes, has powerful anti-cancer potential, with a broad capacity and exquisite specificity to respond to diverse tumor antigens. Further, the immune system demonstrates considerable plasticity and a memory component. The successful harnessing of all these attributes of the adaptive immune system would make immunotherapy unique among all cancer treatment modalities. [0004] Until recently, cancer immunotherapy had focused substantial effort on approaches that enhance anti-tumor immune responses by adoptive-transfer of activated effector cells, immunization against relevant antigens, or providing non-specific immune-stimulatory agents such as cytokines. In the past decade, however, intensive efforts to develop specific immune checkpoint pathway inhibitors have begun to provide new immunotherapeutic approaches for treating cancer, including the development of antibodies such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab (formerly lambrolizumab; USAN Council Statement, 2013) that bind specifically to the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and block the inhibitory PD-1/PD-1 ligand pathway (Topalian et al., 2012a, b; Topalian et al., 2014; Hamid et al., 2013; Hamid and Carvajal, 2013; McDermott and Atkins, 2013). [0005] PD-1 is a key immune checkpoint receptor expressed by activated T and B cells and mediates immunosuppression. PD-1 is a member of the CD28 family of receptors, which includes CD28, CTLA-4, ICOS, PD-1, and BTLA. Two cell surface glycoprotein ligands for PD-1 have been identified, Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) and Programmed Death Ligand-2 (PD-L2), that are expressed on antigen-presenting cells as well as many human cancers and have been shown to downregulate T cell activation and cytokine secretion upon binding to PD-1. Inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction mediates potent antitumor activity in preclinical models (U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,008,449 and 7,943,743), and the use of antibody inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction for treating cancer has entered clinical trials (Brahmer et al., 2010; Topalian et al., 2012a; Topalian et al., 2014; Hamid et al., 2013; Brahmer et al., 2012; Flies et al., 2011; Pardoll, 2012; Hamid and Carvajal, 2013). [0006] Nivolumab (formerly designated 5C4, BMS-936558, MDX-1106, or ONO-4538) is a fully human IgG4 (S228P) PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody that selectively prevents interaction with PD-1 ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2), thereby blocking the down-regulation of antitumor T-cell functions (U.S. Pat. No. 8,008,449; Wang et al., 2014). Nivolumab has shown activity in a variety of advanced solid tumors, including renal cell carcinoma (renal adenocarcinoma, or hypernephroma), melanoma, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Topalian et al., 2012a; Topalian et al., 2014; Drake et al., 2013; WO 2013/173223). [0007] The immune system and response to immuno-therapy are complex. Additionally, anti-cancer agents can vary in their effectiveness based on the unique patient characteristics. Accordingly, there is a need for targeted therapeutic strategies that identify patients who are more likely to respond to a particular anti-cancer agent and, thus, improve the clinical outcome for patients diagnosed with cancer. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0008] The present disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof, wherein the tumor has a tumor mutational burden (TMB) status that is a high TMB. In some embodiments, the method further comprises measuring the TMB status of a biological sample obtained from the subject. [0009] The present disclosure also provides a method of identifying a subject suitable for a therapy of an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof comprising measuring a TMB status of a biological sample of the subject, wherein the TMB status is a high TMB thereby the subject is identified as being suitable for the therapy of an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. In one embodiment, the method further comprises administering to the subject the anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. [0010] In some embodiments, the TMB status is determined by sequencing nucleic acids in the tumor and identifying a genomic alteration in the sequenced nucleic acids.
