Comparison of response categories between conventional and immune-related criteria

WHO IrRC RECIST 1.0 RECIST 1.1 irRECIST iRECIST
CR Complete resolution of lesions (confirmed at 4 weeks) Complete resolution of lesions (confirmed at 4 weeks) from first irCR scan Complete resolution of lesions Complete resolution of non-nodal lesions and < 10 mm short-axis for lymph nodes Complete resolution of non-nodal lesions and < 10 mm short-axis for lymph nodes. No confirmation necessary Complete resolution of non-nodal lesions and < 10 mm short-axis for lymph nodes. No new lesions
PR ≥50% decrease in tumour burden (confirmed at 4 weeks) ≥50% decrease in tumour burden (confirmed at 4 weeks) ≥30% decrease in tumour burden ≥30% decrease in tumour burden ≥30% decrease in tumour burden ≥30% decrease in tumour burden
SD Does not meet criteria for CR/PR/PD Does not meet criteria for irCR/irPR/irPD Does not meet criteria for CR/PR/PD Does not meet criteria for CR/PR/PD Does not meet criteria for irCR/irPR/irPD Does not meet criteria for iCR/iPR/iUPD/iCPD
PD ≥25% increase in tumour burden relative to nadir; new lesions ≥25% increase in tumour burden relative to nadir; new lesions. Confirmation of PD via a subsequent scan ≥ 4 weeks later is required ≥20% increase in tumour burden relative to nadir; new lesions ≥20% increase in tumour burden relative to nadir and a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm; new lesions ≥20% increase in tumour burden relative to nadir and a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm; new lesions. Confirmation of PD via a subsequent scan ≥ 4 weeks later to detect delayed responses is required iUPD—presence of new measurable/non- measurable lesions, or ≥ 20% increase in tumour burden relative to nadir iCPD-confirmation of IUPD with >/= 5 mm increase in size of target or new target lesions, increase in non-target or new non-target or increase in number of new lesions.
