Title:

HLA-A*03 and response to immune checkpoint blockade in cancer: an epidemiological biomarker study

Published date:

Excerpt:
Patients with HLA-A*03 had shorter progression-free survival in the pooled patient population from the three CheckMate clinical trials of nivolumab for renal cell carcinoma (HR 1·31, 1·01–1·71; p=0·044), but not in those receiving control (everolimus) therapies....HLA-A*03 was associated with shorter progression-free survival in patients receiving ICI in the JAVELIN Renal 101 randomised clinical trial for renal cell carcinoma (avelumab plus axitinib; HR 1·59 per HLA-A*03 allele, 1·16–2·16; p=0·0036), but not in those receiving control (sunitinib) therapy.
