EGAD00001011312	This dataset contains raw sequencing data from multi-timepoint cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq) of plasma samples from the INSPIRE study (NCT02644369). Details about the study, including inclusion/exclusion criteria and interventions are available at https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02644369. Briefly, five cohorts were included, INS-A (head & neck squamous cell carcinoma), INS-B (triple-negative breast cancer), INS-C (high-grade serous ovarian cancer), INS-D (melanoma), and INS-E (mixed solid tumors). All patients in the study were diagnosed with advanced cancer and received treatment with pembrolizumab. Plasma samples were collected at baseline and every 3 cycles until disease progression, death, loss of follow-up, or completion of the study. Plasma samples were first processed for cell-free DNA mutations and remaining samples were then processed by cfMeDIP-seq, prioritizing baseline and post-cycle 3 samples. In total, data from 204 timepoints from 87 distinct patients are deposited.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	204
