Abstract excerpt
The FDA has recently approved a high tumor mutational burden (TMB-high) biomarker, defined by ≥10 mutations/Mb, for the treatment of solid tumors with pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that targets PD1. However, recent studies have shown that this TMB-high biomarker is only able to stratify ICI responders in a subset of cancer types, and the mechanisms underlying this observation have remained...
