(A) Comparison of tumor mutational burden (TMB; non-synonymous mutations) between responder and non-responder groups. (B) Identification of an optimal TMB cut-off for distinguishing responders from non-responders to nivolumab treatment. (C) Overall survival of patients based on the optimal TMB cut-off. (D) Progression-free survival of patients based on the optimal TMB cut-off. (E) Comparison of tumor volume changes based on the optimal TMB cut-off. (F) Validation of the optimal TMB cut-off using the MSK-IMPACT cohort who received immune checkpoint blockades. (G) Identification of molecular and clinical correlates that are significantly associated with progression-free survival (y-axis) and the best objective response (x-axis) in response to nivolumab treatment. (H) Feature importance scores of each molecular and clinical feature against nivolumab treatment using a gradient-boosting machine algorithm. The model adopted a bootstrapping strategy 100 times to obtain a robust evaluation of the predictive features.
