Mismatch repair deficiency predicts response of solid tumors to PD-1 blockade

TL;DR: Evaluating the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in patients with advanced mismatch repair–deficient cancers across 12 different tumor types showed that colorectal cancers with mismatch repair deficiency were sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade with antibodies to programmed death receptor–1 (PD-1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Biomarker Modalities for Predicting Response to PD-1/PD-L1 Checkpoint Blockade: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies that examined the use of PD-L1 IHC, TMB, GEP, and mIHC/IF assays to determine objective response to anti-PD-1/PD- L1 therapy found multiplex immunohistochemistry/IF and multimodality biomarker strategies appear to be associated with improved performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Spectrum of Benefit from Checkpoint Blockade in Hypermutated Tumors.

TL;DR: The FDA has approved immune checkpoint inhibitors for solid tumors of any histologic origin with more than 10 mutations per megabase of DNA as discussed by the authors, which is the highest level of mutational burden.
