Sustained Disease Control in Immune Checkpoint Blockade Responders with Microsatellite Instability-high Colorectal Cancer after Treatment Termination.

Abstract

Outcomes for patients with MSI-H colorectal cancer stopping immunotherapy after disease control remain unknown. Sixty-four patients with MSI-H colorectal cancer from our institution stopping treatment for sustained benefit or toxicity were retrospectively assessed. After median follow up of 22 months and median immunotherapy exposure of 18 months, 88% patients remained without progression. All patients who recurred or progressed and were rechallenged with immunotherapy have continued to experience disease control.
