CD47 polymorphism for predicting nivolumab benefit in patients with advanced non‑small‑cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as nivolumab, play an essential role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Programmed death ligand-1 has been used as a predictive biomarker for the efficacy of ICI treatment in patients with NSCLC; however, its predictive value is considered insufficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for better predictive biomarkers. The present study focused on the CD47 molecule, which is associated with macrophages and tumor immunity. The study aimed to investigate the association between CD47 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the therapeutic effect of nivolumab in patients with NSCLC. The CD47 SNP genotypes and clinical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed in 164 patients with NSCLC treated with nivolumab at Kyoto Univers
