Predicting response to pembrolizumab in metastatic melanoma by a new personalization algorithm

Table 6 Pearson correlations between the values of model parameter \(ln\left( {a_{pem} } \right)\) and the clinical personal measures

Potential clinical covariate	Pearson correlation coefficient	Significance (p-value)
Age	0.051	0.77
Breslow thickness	− 0.089	0.53
LDH	− 0.573	9.2 × 10⁻⁶
LY%	0.370	0.01
SOD at the baseline	− 0.703	3.5 × 10 ⁻⁹

Among the tested clinical measures, the baseline sum of diameters (SOD) was found to be most significantly correlated with \(\ln \left( {a_{pem} } \right)\) (in italics)
