      Background:
      Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for ES-NSCLC has a modest improvement in survival but it is often associated with serious adverse effects. Thus, identifying subgroups of ES-NSCLC patients who may benefit from ACT is of high clinical relevance. We evaluated the prognostic and predictive role of quantitative spatial profiling of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction in the tumor cells of ES-NSCLC patients.

      Method:
      451 whole tissue sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded surgical resection specimens from ES-NSCLC patients with/without ACT were tested with a multiplexed fluorescence immunohistochemistry assay to detect PD-1, PD-L1, cytokeratin and DAPI labeling. Fluorescence Images were acquired on the Perkin Elmer Vectra platform and analyzed with AQUA® algorithms to determine the percent positivity of each biomarker as well as the co-localization of PD-1 and PD-L1 (the Interaction Score).

      Result:
      High PD-1/PD-L1 Interaction Scores correlated with improved progression-free and overall survival for ES-NSCLC patients receiving ACT after surgery (p = 0.01) whereas no difference in survival was observed for patients who received surgery alone (p = 0.9) (Figure 1). Interestingly, the levels of PD-1 or PD-L1 alone did not demonstrate any difference in survival for surgery + ACT or surgery alone patient populations. Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      PD-1/PD-L1 Interaction Score is predictive of benefit from ACT in patients with ES-NSCLC. Future studies will determine if this tool can be used to select patients that may be spared chemotherapy without compromising outcome.
