HLA-A and neoplasm: Tebentafusp, the dominant BTCE evaluated in roughly 1150 HLA-A*02:01-positive patients, extended median overall survival from 16.0 to 21.7 months (hazard ratio 0.51, with three-year follow-up HR 0.68) in its pivotal phase-III trial despite objective response rates of only 5–12%, with early skin rash and week-12 circulating-tumor-DNA clearance emerging as consistent markers of benefit.
