Tomlins et al. develop an Immunotherapy Response Score (IRS) to predict clinical benefit from checkpoint inhibition across solid tumors. IRS integrates TMB and gene expression, is evaluable from FFPE material, and is predictive for real-world progression-free survival and overall survival in patients receiving PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy.
