Exploring the prognostic impact of absolute lymphocyte count in patients treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors

The role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) expands but affordable and reproducible prognostic biomarkers are needed. We investigated the association between baseline and 3-month absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and survival for patients on ICI. A retrospective study investigated patients who rece...

description The role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) expands but affordable and reproducible prognostic biomarkers are needed. We investigated the association between baseline and 3-month absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and survival for patients on ICI. A retrospective study investigated patients who received ICI July 2014-August 2019. Survival probabilities were calculated for lymphocyte subsets. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate risk factors for lymphopenia. Among 179 patients, median age was 62 and 41% were female. The most common diagnoses were melanoma (41%) and lung cancer (40%). Median PFS was 6.5 months. 27% had baseline lymphopenia (ALC
