- The frequency of 89 refined immune cell subsets was examined pre-therapy and post-1 cycle (n=19), 3 cycles (n=14), and 9 cycles (n=16) of avelumab. Table displays subsets that met criteria as a potentially biologically relevant trend. Results are displayed as the number of patients (percentage of total patients) with an increase of more than 25%, minimal change of less than 25%, and a decrease of more than 25% compared to pre-therapy. Unadjusted p-values (direction of change compared to pre-therapy) were calculated using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, and Holm adjustment was made for the number of subsets within the classic subsets with a frequency above 0.01% of PBMC
