Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab in Lung Cancer with a High Tumor Mutational Burden

2018 New England Journal of Medicine 3,061 citations

Abstract

Progression-free survival was significantly longer with first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab than with chemotherapy among patients with NSCLC and a high tumor mutational burden, irrespective of PD-L1 expression level. The results validate the benefit of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in NSCLC and the role of tumor mutational burden as a biomarker for patient selection.
