We confirmed that high TMB was associated with improved clinical outcomes, and TMB quantified by gene panel strongly correlated with WES results (Spearman's ρ = 0.81)....Based on WES-assessed TMB results, DCB rate and mPFS were both significantly increased in patients with high TMB (top 33%, cutoff = 157 mutations; DCB rate, 44.0% vs. 18.8%, Fisher's exact test P = 0.03; mPFS, 130 vs. 60.5 days, log rank P = 0.0018, HR, 0.43; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.25–0.74...In addition, patients with high TMB assessed by both methods had a trend toward increased ORR rate (WES, 28.0% vs. 14.6%, Fisher's exact test P = 0.21; Panel, 26.9% vs. 14.3%, Fisher's exact test P = 0.22...
