          Abstract

          Background: MK-3475, a humanized monoclonal IgG4 antibody against PD-1, has demonstrated durable antitumor activity in NSCLC and melanoma. Preliminary data presented at the 2013 World Congress of Lung Cancer showed a relationship between tumor PD-L1 expression and overall response to MK-3475. Here, we present updated data on tumor PD-L1 expression and its relationship with overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

          Methods: In a phase I study, 38 previously treated NSCLC patients received MK-3475 10 mg/kg Q3W. Tumor response was assessed every 9 weeks by immune-related response criteria (irRC) per investigator review and by RECIST v1.1 per independent radiologic review. A new tumor biopsy performed within 60 days prior to the first dose of MK-3475 was required. Tumor PD-L1 expression was assessed by IHC. A potential cut point for PD-L1 expression was determined by the Youden Index from a receiver operating characterstics curve developed from the investigators’ irRC assessments.

          Results: Confirmed ORR for the entire cohort of 38 patients per investigators’ irRC assessments was 24%, median PFS was 9 weeks, and median OS was 51 weeks. PD-L1 IHC score was above a potential cut point in 9 patients and below a potential cut point in 22 patients; tumor was not submitted for or staining was not evaluable in 7 patients. Significant associations between tumor PD-L1 expression and ORR, PFS, and OS were observed (Table).

          Conclusions: Tumor PD-L1 expression levels were associated with tumor response, PFS, and OS in patients with NSCLC treated with MK-3475. The preliminary finding of minimal anti-tumor activity in patients whose tumors express low levels of PD-L1 suggests that PD-L1 is an important biomarker for patients with NSCLC treated with MK-3475.
