responseto checkpoint blockade immunotherapy;however,this has not been well-characterizedin human cancer patients.Here we examined the oral and gut microbiome of melanomapatients undergoing antiprogrammed cell death 1 protein(PD-1)immunotherapy(n=112).Significant differences were observed in the diversity and composition ofthe patient gut microbiome of responders versus nonresponders.Analysis of patientfecal microbiome samples(n=43,30 responders,13 nonresponders)showedsignificantly higher alpha diversity(P 0.01)and relative abundance of bacteria ofthe Ruminococcaceae family(P 0.01)in responding patients.Metagenomic studiesrevealed functional differences in gut bacteria in responders,including enrichmentof anabolic pathways.Immune profiling suggested enhanced systemic and antitumorimmunity in responding patients with a favorable gut microbiome as well as ingerm-free mice receiving fecal transplants from responding patients.Together,thesedata have important implications for the treatment of melanoma patients withimmune checkpoint inhibitors.Tremendousadvanceshavebeenmadeinthetreatment of melanoma and other cancersby using immune checkpoint inhibitors tar-getingthecytotoxicTlymphocyteassociatedantigen 4(CTLA-4)and programmed celldeathprotein1(PD-1);however,responsestothesetherapiesareoftenheterogeneousandnotdurable(13).Ithasrecentlyemergedthatfactorsbeyondtumor genomics influence cancer developmentand therapeutic responses(47),including hostfactors such as the gastrointestinal(gut)micro-biome(810).A number of studies have shownthat the gut microbiome may influence anti-tumor immune responses by means of innateand adaptive immunity(11,12)and that thera-peutic responses may be improved through itsmodulation(13,14);however,this has not beenextensively studied in cancer patients.Tobetterunderstandtheroleofthemicrobiomein response to immune checkpoint blockade,weprospectivelycollectedmicrobiomesamplesfrompatientswithmetastaticmelanomastartingtreat-ment with antiPD-1 therapy(n=112 patients)(fig.S1 and table S1).Oral(buccal)andgut(fecal)microbiome samples were collected attreatmentinitiation,andtumorbiopsiesandbloodsampleswerecollectedatmatchedpretreatmenttimepointswhen possible,to assess for genomic alterationsas well as the density and phenotype of tumor-infiltrating and circulating immune cell subsets(Fig.1A and fig.S2).Taxonomic profiling using16SribosomalRNA(rRNA)genesequencingwasperformed on all available oral and gut samples,withmetagenomicwhole-genomeshotgun(WGS)sequencingperformedona subset(n=25).Eligi-blepatients(n=89)wereclassifiedasresponders(R,n=54)or nonresponders(NR,n=35)on thebasisofradiographicassessmentusingtheresponseevaluation criteria in solid tumors(RECIST 1.1)(15)at 6 months after treatment initiation.Pa-tients were classified as R if they achieved anobjectiveresponse(completeorpartialresponseor stable disease lasting at least 6 months)or NR(progressive disease or stable disease lasting lessthan 6 months).This classification accounts forthesubsetofpatientswhomayderivelong-termdisease benefit despite not achieving a bona fideRECIST response and has been used in numer-ous published studies of patients on checkpointblockade(1619).Of note,patients in R and NRgroups were similar with respectto age,gender,primary type,prior therapy,concurrent systemictherapy,and serum lactate dehydrogenase(tableS2).Prior genomic analyses have demonstratedthatpatientswithtumorsthathaveahighermuta-tional load are more likely to respond to antiCTLA-4(16,20,21)or antiPD-1 therapy(2124);however,a high mutational load alone appearsneither sufficient nor essential for response.Inthis cohort,the total number of mutations andspecific melanoma driver mutations were withincomparableparametersbetweenRandNRafterantiPD-1 therapy(fig.S3),though the numberoftumorsavailableforsequencing(n=10,R=7,NR=3)was limited and may have reduced ourabilitytodetectasignificantassociationbetweenmutational burden and response.We first assessed the landscape
