Ex vivo human tumor models have emerged as promising, yet complex tools to study cancer immunotherapy response dynamics. Here, we present a strategy that integrates empirical data from an ex vivo human system with computational models to interpret the response dynamics of a clinically prescribed PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab, in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) biopsies (N = 50). Using biological assays, we show that drug-induced variance stratifies samples by T helper type 1 (Th1)-rela ...[more]
