Abstract

Abstract Background: Response to anti-programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy is associated with tumor expression of PD-L1 and an 18-gene T-cell-inflamed gene expression profile (GEP) across several tumor types. The association and utility of the GEP, as calculated using baseline RNA-seq data as a predictor of pembrolizumab response, was evaluated in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) enrolled in the KEYNOTE-086 trial (NCT02447003). Additionally, a 37-gene tissue -resident memory (TRM) T-cell signature was evaluated and compared with the GEP. Methods: In the phase II KEYNOTE-086 study, patients with previously treated, ..
