Soluble biomarker signature to predict outcome of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with anti-PD1/PDL1 monoclonal antibodies.

e20685 Background: Immunotherapy with anti-PD1/PDL1 monoclonal antibodies has become the second line standard treatment for most patients diagnosed of advanced Non-Small-Cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study is to assess the utility of circulating biomarkers such as sPDL1, sPDL2, sCD137, sIDO, sTIM3, sCD28, sCD27, sCTLA4, sHVEM, sLAG3, sCD80 and sGITR for predicting efficacy of immunotherapy with anti-PD1/PDL1 therapies. Methods: Blood samples were collected before treatment from 50 NSCLC patients who received anti PD1/PDL1 therapies (second line). Plasma biomarkers´ levels were measured by Multiplex bead-based assays. Continuous variables were categorized using the median as a c…
Analysis of the Gut Microbiota: An Emerging Source of Biomarkers for Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
2021
Simple Summary The immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), and concretely the blockade of the PD1/PDL1 axis, has opened up a new standard of treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, despite substantial advances in clinical care, many patients still remain refractory to these therapies. Biomarkers such as PD-L1 expression and tumor mutational burden have been associated with ICB efficacy, but the mechanisms underlying variable responses are not yet fully understood. Recently, the differential composition of the gut microbiota was studied as one of the variables accounting for interpatient heterogeneity in ICB responses. To better understand the potential role of the gut microbiot…
