Very important paper showing high sensitivity to anti-PD1 single agent in patients with >90% PDL1 NSCLC.
Need for an additional biomarker (TMB ? CD8 ?) to reach outlier sensitivity, and withhold chemo. work in progress.

Answer isn’t simple but, think simple- No one biomarker work sole, TMB CD8 And HRD state and absence of negative predictors (STK11- betaCatenin-B2M)
