Berghoff A et al. [5]

PD-L1

No significant differences in PD-L1 between initial and recurrent GBM specimens or with patient outcomes

Zeng et al. [142]

2016

PD-L1

No significant relation between PD-L1 expression and OS, but a strong tendency. PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with poor OS in the patients with long-time survival or follow-up (OS ≥ 12 months)

Jan et al. [55]

2018

PD-L1

No significant relation between PD-L1 expression and the prognostic factors OS and PFS

Knudsen et al. [66]

PD-L1

PD-L1 was expressed in all investigated GBMs but didn’t show prognostic value

Nduom E et al. [88]

2016

PD-L1

Higher expression of PD-L1 correlated significantly with worse outcomes

Wang et al. [133]

2016

PD-L1

Higher expression of PD-L1 indicated significantly shorter survival, especially in GBM

Han et al. [45]

2017

PD-L1

High expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells was an independent and significant predictive factor for worse OS

Xue et al. [138]

2017

PD-L1

High PD-L1 expression was associated with worse OS in glioma and GBM patients

Bloch O Et al. [6]

2017

PD-L1

PD-L1 expression was the primary independent predictor of survival

Lee et al. [70]

2018

PD-L1

PD-L1 expression in tumor cells was significantly associated with poor OS, though multivariate Cox analysis did not confirm this association. PD-L1 target therapy might be beneficial for PD-L1-expressing GBM patients with poor prognosis

Pratt D et al. [95]

2018

PD-L1

A 5% PD-L1 expression cut-off identified a subset of glioblastoma associated with a worse clinical outcome

Samstein R et al. [105]

TMB

No association between higher TMB and improved survival in patients with glioma

Zhao J et al. [144]

2019

TMB

No significant inverse relationship between TMB and radiographic/histological responses to PD1 blockade was observed in a recurrent GBM patient cohort

Touat M et al. [123]

2020

TMB

Hypermutant gliomas with mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency are less responsive to PD1 blockade than gliomas with lower TMB

Yin W et al. [141]

2020

TMB

TMB was not an independent prognostic factor in LGG, but the TMB-related immune-related risk score was

Draaisma K et al. [27]

2015

TMB

Tumor grade was correlated with the TMB: grade II diffuse gliomas had fewer genetic changes than grade III or IV

Wang L et al. [132]

2020

TMB

Patients with a higher TMB exhibited shorter overall survival, being an independent prognostic factor for glioma

Gromeier M et al. [40]

2021

TMB

Very low TMB is associated with longer survival after ICIs in recurrent glioblastoma patients, while it is not observed in cohorts of immunotherapy naïve newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma patients without ICIs

Hodges T et al. [51]

TMB and PD-L1

Biomarkers are expressed infrequently in GBM without substantial overlap

  1. OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; MMR, mismatch repair; ICIs, immune checkpoint inhibitors
