CTLA4 promoter methylation predicts response and progression-free survival in stage IV melanoma treated with anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy (ipilimumab)
16 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Anti-CTLA-4-antibodies can induce long-lasting tumor remissions. However, only a few patients respond, necessitating the development of predictive companion biomarkers. Increasing evidence suggests a major role of epigenetics, including DNA methylation, in immunology and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade. Here, we tested CTLA4 promoter methylation and CTLA-4 protein expression as predictive biomarkers for...
