    Background
    

    Although there are a few studies about concordance of different assays testing PD-L1 expression using surgical specimens, there hasn’t been any such concordance study using real-world biopsy specimens. However, many of the patients requiring immunotherapy and thus PD-L1 testing have unresectable lung cancer and have to rely on small biopsy results. Although phase 2 of Blueprint phase 2 does include core biopsy specimens, they are mixed with bronchial biopsy specimens and the absolute number is very small (n=20). We sought to evaluate the concordance of 22C3 and SP263 assays in a larger number CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) specimens.

    The purpose of this study was to assess the concordance of two commercially available diagnostic assays (22C3 and SP263) in evaluating programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression using specimens from CT-guided TNB in a routine clinical setting.

    This retrospective analysis reviewed 202 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent CT-guided TNB at our institution from April 2017 to February 2018. Among these, biopsy specimens tested with both 22C3 and SP263 assays were included for review. Concordance of PD-L1 expression levels determined by the two assays was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient, and the agreement of dichotomized values at various cut-offs (1%, 25%, and 50%) were assessed using Cohen’s κ coefficient of agreement. Clinical characteristics and biopsy-related factors were also assessed for the association of concordance of PD-L1 expression detected by different assays

    In total, 80 patients (M:F =47:33, mean age: 68.0 years) were included in the study. Concordance of PD-L1 expression levels was high (intraclass coefficient: 0.892) between 22C3 and SP263 assays. Agreements at cut-off levels of 1%, 25%, and 50% were also good, with κ values of 0.878, 0.698, and 0.790 respectively. Positive percent agreement was 93.2%, 100.0%, and 95.2% for agreements at 1%, 25%, and 50%. At multivariate analysis, the presence of emphysema was significantly related to discordant PD-L1 results (odds ratio: 0.059, p= 0.005).

    There is a high concordance of PD-L1 expression evaluated with 22C3 and SP263 assays using CT-guided TNB specimens.
