33 Poster: PD-L1 and MEDI4736 With analytical assay enables early adoption and market readiness Background: A high quality PD-L1 companion diagnostic may help predict which patients are more likely to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 antibody-based therapy. Here we describe a PD-L1 immunohistochemical (IHC) diagnostic test developed by Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. for use with MEDI4736. Source: 2015 ASCO Poster # 355 Results: The VENTANA PD-L1 IHC (SP263) Assay met all pre-defined acceptance criteria. The scoring algorithm was defined Samples of both cancer types are considered test positive when the membrane of 25% of tumor cells stain for PD-L1 at any intensity....for both NSCLC and SCCHN, PD-L1+ patients identified by the scoring algorithm had a higher response rate than PD-L1 patients. Conclusions: These results highlight the robustness and reproducibility of the PD-L1 (SP263) IHC Assay in a clinical setting. In NSCLC and SCCHN patients treated with MEDI4736, PD-L1+ patients identified by the scoring algorithm had a higher response rate than PD-L1 patients. The clinical utility of the PD-L1 diagnostic assay will be further validated in a prospective manner using additional patients in this study and in other MEDI4736 studies.
