Abstract excerpt
Mutational burden is positively correlated with tumor neoantigen load and studies have demonstrated an association between high tumor mutational burden (TMB) and response to checkpoint blockade. On the basis of a phase II study, the anti-PD-1 therapy, pembrolizumab, was given FDA approval for use in any solid tumor with a high TMB (i.e., >10 mutations/megabase) as assessed by the FoundationOne companion...
