Tumor mutational burden and survival on immune checkpoint inhibition in >8000 patients across 24 cancer types

Across >8000 patients treated with single-agent ICI, and within individual cancer types with sufficient power, elevated TMB based on the FDA-approved CDx was associated with more favorable rwOS compared with similar patients with lower TMB levels. This biomarker deserves further clinical investigation to potentially guide the use of immunotherapy in expanded clinical contexts.
