Increasing translatability of syngeneic mouse models of cancer through the application of human-validated, clinically relevant gene expression-based measurements of the tumor immune microenvironment

Analysis of syngeneic mouse models using human-validated immune gene expression (iGEX) measurements to assess tumor immune microenvironments and treatment responses demonstrated that in vivo tumor fragments exhibited higher immune activity than in vitro tumor cell lines and closely resembled iGEX measures in human tumors.

High TLR3 transcript levels correlate with high TIM3 and VISTA checkpoints but not with outcome after immune checkpoint blockade

Evaluation of TLR3 RNA expression landscape in 514 real-world tumors with categorization into "High" or "Non-High" levels and analysis of associations with patient characteristics, immune markers and cancer subtypes, demonstrated a significant correlation between high TLR3 expression and other immune modulation targets such as VISTA and TIM3 RNA express

Comprehensive genomic profiling of cell-free DNA and matched white blood cells improves accuracy of ctDNA molecular response in immunotherapy treated NSCLC

Integrated comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of cfDNA with matched WBC analysis enhances the accuracy of molecular response (mR) in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) receiving immunotherapy. Patients with mR had significantly longer overall survival, whereas early molecular progression strongly predicted poorer outcomes.
