      Background:
      Several studies indicate no response to check-point inhibitors on non-small-cell lung cancer with either EGFR-mutant or ALK-rearranged patients,of whom majority of international clinical trials involving PD-1/L1 inhibitors excluded. No solid evidences to interpret the underlying mechanism of poor clinical benefit to patients through PD-1/L1 inhibitors with driver genes mutation.

      Method:
      From 2010 to 2016, 482 patients and 263 patients with clinically operable lung cancer and advanced lung cancer respectively were collected at Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute (GLCI). All patients have detected for EGFR as well as ALK status. CD8 and PD-L1 expression was scored by immunohistochemistry with SP142 antibody. Five years survival rate was also analyzed.

      Result:
      Patients were assigned to EGFR/ALK positive group (344 cases) or negative group (401 cases). EGFR/ALK positive group contains 5.52% PD-L1+/CD8+; 11.92% PD-L1-/CD8+; 18.90% PD-L1+/CD8- and 63.66% PD-L1-/CD8-. EGFR&ALK negative group contains 13.97% PD-L1+/CD8+; 6.98% PD-L1-/CD8+; 30.42% PD-L1+/CD8- and 48.63% PD-L1-/CD8-. In EGFR/ALK positive group, PD-L1+/CD8+ is lower but PD-L1-/CD8- is higher than that of EGFR&ALK negative group (P<0.001). Significant statistical differences of 5 years survival rate were observed between four subgroups in EGFR/ALK positive group (PD-L1+/CD8+:41.9%, PD-L1-/CD8+: 91.0%, PD-L1+/CD8-: 75.4%, PD-L1-/CD8-: 69.7%; P=0.003). And there were no survival differences in EGFR&ALK negative group((PD-L1+/CD8+: 66.5%, PD-L1-/CD8+: 76.9%, PD-L1+/CD8-: 62.3%, PD-L1-/CD8-: 70.6%; P=0.341).

      Conclusion:
      Immunotherapy with PD-1/L1 inhibitors may not be suitable for EGFR-mutant or ALK-rearranged lung cancer patients with little co-expression of PD-L1 and CD8. However, these patients with such diver genes mutation reveal the best survival in PD-L1-/CD8+ subgroup and the worst survival in PD-L1+/CD8+ subgroup. Figure 1
