Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Aim: We sought to identify the variants that could predict the risk of nivolumab-induced immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with cancer. Patients & methods: We enrolled 622 Japanese patients and carried out a genome-wide association study. The associations for 507 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) showing p < 0.001 were further investigated using an independent cohort. Results: In the combined analysis, possible associations were found for a total of 90 SNPs. Although no SNPs were identified to be significantly associated with nivolumab-induced irAEs, the SNP most strongly associated with nivolumab-induced irAEs was rs469490. Conclusion: This study is an important hypothesis-generating study to guide future studies in larger and/or other ethnic cohorts.
