Evaluation of tissue- and plasma-derived tumor mutational burden (TMB) and genomic alterations of interest in CheckMate 848, a study of nivolumab combined with ipilimumab and nivolumab alone in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with high TMB

Abstract

We observed that tTMB and bTMB had a statistically significant correlation, particularly for samples with high MSAF, and that this correlation applied across disease ontologies. Further investigation into the clinical utility of bTMB is warranted.
