Ten-Patient Trial: Remarkable Responses in Pediatric Cancers

A clinical trial of nivolumab in 10 patients with pediatric cancer with high tumor mutational burden demonstrated complete responses in 50% of patients. This result recapitulates multiple clinical trial results in high mutation–burden adult cancers and may redefine best practice in the setting of ge...

Sumario:A clinical trial of nivolumab in 10 patients with pediatric cancer with high tumor mutational burden demonstrated complete responses in 50% of patients. This result recapitulates multiple clinical trial results in high mutation–burden adult cancers and may redefine best practice in the setting of germline DNA mismatch repair–based susceptibility.
