4 - pembrolizumab In prostate cancer, CDK12 mutations occur in 5%−7% of patients with mCRPC, and most are biallelic inactivations. CDK12-altered/mutated prostate cancer is an aggressive subtype with poor responses and outcomes to hormonal, taxane, and PARP inhibitor therapies. A proportion of these patients may respond favorably to PD-1 inhibitors, which implicates CDK12 deficiency in immunotherapy sensitivity.
