Define immune phenotypes of drug response
Elephas profiled 46 cytokines in live tumor fragments from 193 patient samples treated with checkpoint inhibitors ex vivo. The response-associated cluster contained four immune phenotypes spanning tumor types.
These functional profiles provide a framework for investigating which cell states and tissue features accompany different immune responses.
An ex vivo study; links between the phenotypes and the depth and durability of clinical response remain under investigation.
