Title |
Methylation cytometric pretreatment blood immune profiles with tumor mutation burden as prognostic indicators for survival outcomes in head and neck cancer patients on anti-PD-1 therapy |
Organism |
Homo sapiens |
Experiment type |
Methylation profiling by array

Summary |
Tissue biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response are limited by tumor sample heterogeneity and availability. This study identifies clinically actionable pretreatment blood biomarkers that are associated with ICI treatment response and survival in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. A prospective multi-center study enrolled 100 patients before standard-of-care immunotherapy. Blood immune profiles, measured by methylation cytometry, were assessed alongside tumor mutational burden (TMB) and PD-L1 combined proportion score (CPS). TMB and PD-L1 CPS were available for 56 and 91 patients, respectively. High neutrophils, monocytes, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were associated with worse survival, while high CD4T cells, especially naïve CD4T cells, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio were associated with better survival. Significant interactions between TMB and peripheral immune profiles for both progression-free and overall survival were found. Clinically relevant pretreatment peripheral immune biomarkers were identified, demonstrating the potential of DNA-based immune profiling to predict ICI response before treatment.
