Response to Immune Checkpoint Antibodies: Not All Responses Are Created Equal

Clin Cancer Res. 2019 Feb 1;25(3):910-911. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-18-3296. Epub 2018 Dec 3.

Abstract

Early reports from immunotherapy trials conclude durable responses. Long-term data may indicate otherwise. Better delineation of clinical courses of long-term survivors will accelerate the discovery and application of biomarkers. Two pressing issues among those treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 are understanding whether responders can have therapy abbreviated and overcoming resistance in nonresponders.See related article by Gauci et al., p. 946.
