      Background

      The Veristrat test is a serum biomarker using a mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic signature derived from machine learning. It is used as a prognostic marker for patients with NSCLC undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy. However, its role in patients undergoing immunotherapy has not been investigated.

      47 patients with advanced stage NSCLC and no activating EGFR mutation underwent VeriStrat testing from 2016 to 2017. Patients were grouped into Veristrat ‘Good’ risk group (VS-G) or Veristrat ‘Indeterminate’ & Veristrat ‘Poor’ risk group (VS-IP). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses with log rank test were performed to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between the two groups. PFS of NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy was derived from the time of the immunotherapy to disease progression or death.

      47 patients had a mean age of 65.6 (range: 30 to 91). 26 patients were female (55%). 26 patients had diagnosis of adenocarcinoma (55%), while 18 patients had squamous cell carcinoma (38%). 32 patients (68%) underwent treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab or nivolumab), whereas 15 patients (32%) did not. 32 patients (68%) demonstrated VS-G trait while 15 patients (32%) demonstrated VS-IP trait (intermediate: 1, poor: 14). Overall, VS-G demonstrated significantly prolonged PFS compared to VS-IP for all NSCLC patients regardless of treatment (median PFS, 12.0 months vs. 6 months, p<0.05), though there was not a significant different in OS between VS-G and VS-IP. Among NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy, VS-G classification trended towards increased PFS when compared to VS-IP (Figure 1, median PFS, 12.0 vs 4.2 months, p=0.054), while OS was not statistically different. Multivariate analysis revealed that Veristrat was an independent predictor of PFS in this patients, regardless of various clinical factors.

      MS-based serum proteomic signature may serve as a biomarker for survival outcome in patients with NSCLC, including patients undergoing immunotherapy.
