Evaluation of value of TMErisk in predicting immunotherapeutic response and validation of predictive value of TMErisk for immunotherapy in external cohorts
(A) Difference of TIDE score between the low- and high-TMErisk groups was examined by Wilcoxon test.
(B) Difference of TMB between the low- and high-TMErisk groups was examined by Wilcoxon test. Kaplan–Meier analyses for OS and PFS based on TMErisk strata in OAK cohorts (C-D, G-H), POPLAR cohort (K-L) and IMvigor210 cohort (O-P). Stacked percentage bar charts show the association of TMErisk with ORR and DCR in in OAK cohorts (E-F, I-J), POPLAR cohort (M−N) and IMvigor210 cohort (Q-R). TIDE, tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion; TMB, tumor mutation burden; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; BOR, best overall response; CR, complete response; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; PD, progressive disease; ORR, objective response rate; DCR, disease control rate.
