- Response to immune checkpoint inhibitor response to ICI,Response to immune checkpoint inhibitor,response to immune checkpoint inhibitor
- Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies
- non-complete responders (nCR)
- Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
- complete responders (CR)
- Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
- The complete responders (CR) are defined as patients who exhibit a complete response to treatment, characterized by a significant reduction or disappearance of tumors. This is determined through clinical evaluations and imaging assessments during the treatment course. The study highlights that the ORR for the patient cohort was 56%, with CRs demonstrating stable gut microbiota features that correlate with their positive clinical outcomes during anti-PD-1 therapy.
- Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group
- 9
- Group 1 sample size Number of subjects in the case (exposed) group
- 14
- Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any)
- The study specifies that participants were excluded if they had used antibiotics within 30 days prior to the start of anti-PD-1 therapy. This exclusion criterion is important as antibiotics can significantly impact gut microbiota composition, which is a key focus of the study in relation to treatment response.
