Résumé

Recent evidence suggests high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) as a predictor of response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in cancer. However, results in TMB-H gliomas have been inconsistent. In this article, we discuss the main pathways leading to TMB-H in glioma and how these might affect immunotherapy response. Recent characterization of TMB-H gliomas showed that 'post-treatment' related to mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is the most common mechanism leading to TMB-H in gliomas. Unexpectedly, preliminary evidence suggested that benefit with ICB is rare in this population. Contrary to expectations, ICB response was reported in a subset of TMB-H gliomas associated with constitutional MMR or polymerase epsilon (POLE) defects (e.g., constitutional biallelic MMRd deficiency). In other cancers, several trials suggest increased ICB efficacy is critically associated with increased lymphocyte infiltration at baseline which is missing in most gliomas. Further characterization of the immune microenvironment of gliomas is needed to identify biomarkers to select the patients who will benefit from ICB. Intrinsic molecular and immunological differences between gliomas and other cancers might explain the lack of efficacy of ICB in a subset of TMB-H gliomas. Novel combinations and biomarkers are awaited to improve immunotherapy response in these cancers.
