Title:

An increase in serum choline levels to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients (pts) with advanced cancers receiving pembrolizumab.

Excerpt:
This pan-cancer group of 106 pts (median age 55, 62% females) comprised of 5 cohorts: squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck = 19 pts, triple negative breast cancer = 22, high grade serous ovarian cancer = 21, melanoma = 19, mixed solid tumors = 32. In multivariable analysis, D choline remains significantly associated with an improved PFS (p = 0.0087) after adjustment for cohort, PD-L1 and TMB.
