2

How can we best stratify patients to checkpoint inhibitors?

3

Is there any utility for the use of PD-L1 expression as a biomarker to direct therapy?

4

Can we epigenetically prime MPM for checkpoint inhibitor therapy?

5

Can we use BAP1 status in immunotherapy of MPM?

6

Would targeting Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) along with checkpoint inhibitors prove beneficial?

7

What is the best way to monitor response to checkpoint inhibitors?

8

Is the cost prohibitive for the use of checkpoint inhibitors in the second-line/salvage setting?
