Abstrakt: Germline replication-repair deficient (gRRD) gliomas are exceptional events, and only a few of them have been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Contrary to sporadic gliomas, where ICIs have failed to show any objective benefit, the very few patients with gRRD gliomas treated with ICIs to date seem to benefit from programmed-death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, such as nivolumab or pembrolizumab, either in terms of durable responses or in terms of survival. T-cell immunohistochemistry (IHC) and T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire using high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) with the Oncomine TCR-Beta-SR assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were analyzed in pre- and post-nivolumab tumor biopsies obtained from a patient with a Lynch syndrome-associated glioma due to a germline pathogenic hMLH1 mutation. The aim was to describe changes in the T-cell quantity and clonality after treatment with nivolumab to better understand the role of acquired immunity in gRRD gliomas. The patient showed a slow disease progression and overall survival of 10 months since the start of anti-PD-1 therapy with excellent tolerance. A very scant T-cell infiltrate was observed both at initial diagnosis and after four cycles of nivolumab. The drastic change observed in TCR clonality in the post-nivolumab biopsy may be explained by the highly spatial and temporal heterogeneity of glioblastomas. Despite the durable benefit from nivolumab, the scant T-cell infiltrate possibly explains the lack of objective response to anti-PD-1 therapy. The major change in TCR clonality observed after nivolumab possibly reflects the evolving molecular heterogeneity in a highly pre-treated disease. An in-deep review of the available literature regarding the role of ICIs in both sporadic and gRRD gliomas was conducted.
