Although it is possible that with further follow-up some of these metrics may yet reach significance, this continues a predominant trend of poor correlation of immune and survival metrics in cancer vaccine trials.
This association becomes statistically significant when we compare patient survival five years after initial diagnosis (P =0.03), suggesting a notable trend of poor long-term survival in patients with lower PREX1 methylation.
