The Search for Genomic Biomarkers of Response to Immunotherapy in Ovarian Cancer

Clin Cancer Res. 2023 May 1;29(9):1645-1647. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-0048.

Abstract

Immune checkpoint blockade has been ineffective in ovarian cancer, and there is an ongoing effort to identify biomarkers of therapeutic benefit. Despite promising preclinical data, a substudy of the IMagyn050 trial found that patients with homologous recombination deficient tumors did not have improved progression-free survival with the addition of the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab.
