Gut Microbiome Signatures Predicting Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Response in Metastatic Melanoma. A Multi-Omics Machine Learning Analysis

Author(s): Elena K. Volkov, MD, PhD, Kenji Nakamura, PhD, Mohammed Al-Rashid, MBBS, PhD

Abstract: Background: Response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic melanoma remain heterogeneous (40-60%), with gut microbiome composition emerging as a key modulator of anti-tumor immunity. However, predictive microbiome signatures lack validation across diverse cohorts and omic layers. Objectives: To develop and validate a multi-omics model integrating gut microbiome, metabolomic, and clinical data to predict ICI response in metastatic melanoma patients. Methods: We anal...
