Age, blood CD4+ cells count, pretreatment viral load in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), PML lesions localization, treatment delay since first PML symptoms, type of ICI used and immune\u2010related adverse events (irAEs) occurrence did not significantly differ between RP and NRP. By contrast, a history of therapeutic immune suppression and the use of an immunosuppressive therapy at treatment initiation were significantly associated with a poor response. Besides, reaching an undetectable viral load in the CSF and reduction of the lesion load on magnetic resonance imaging after ICI administration was associated with a good clinical
