Only 10.5% (2/19) patients with deletion 7/7q achieved a CR/CRI to azacitidine/nivolumab compared with 36.8% (14/38) of patients without the deletion (p=0.03) (Fig 1D)...To decouple azacitidine from nivolumab effect, we evaluated an independent cohort of R/R AML (n=99) treated on azacitidine-based studies without immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and found no such correlation, suggesting that deletion 7/7q induced resistance may be primarily in PD-1 blockade therapy setting...
