OBJECTIVES
The effectiveness of PD-1 blockade therapy in advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited. We investigated whether patient characteristics, PD-L1 expression, and immune cell (IC) status in the tumor microenvironment (TME) were associated with PD-1 blockade therapy outcomes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with PD-1 blockade (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) between January 2016 and March 2018. The PD-L1 expression tumor proportion score (TPS) and types and distribution of ICs (CD8, PD-1, CD204, tumoral, and stromal) in the TME were analyzed.
RESULTS
Among 57 EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients treated with PD-1 blockade, 39 patients had sufficient tissues for analyzing the TME. The overall response rate (ORR) of PD-1 blockade was 12.3%. Only tumoral CD8 positive (CD8) IC status was significantly associated with the response (median tumoral CD8ICs: 299/mm vs. 115/mm, P < .01). Among the 6 patients with concurrent high PD-L1 expression (TPS: ≥ 50%)/high tumoral CD8 ICs (≥ 205/mm), 5 (83.3%) showed a response and a significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) (PFS: 9.4M vs. 1.8M, P < .01). In contrast, none of the 7 patients with high PD-L1 expression/low tumoral CD8ICs (<205/mm) showed a response.
CONCLUSION
Concurrent high PD-L1 expression and high tumoral CD8 ICs could predict the response and longer PFS of PD-1 blockade therapy in EGFR-mutant patients.
目的
程序性死亡蛋白1（PD-1）阻断疗法在晚期表皮生长因子受体（EGFR）突变的非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）中的疗效有限。我们研究了患者特征、PD-L1表达以及肿瘤微环境（TME）中的免疫细胞（IC）状态是否与PD-1阻断疗法的结果相关。
材料与方法
我们回顾性分析了2016年1月至2018年3月期间接受PD-1阻断治疗（纳武单抗或派姆单抗）的晚期EGFR突变NSCLC患者。分析了TME中PD-L1表达的肿瘤比例评分（TPS）以及IC的类型和分布（CD8、PD-1、CD204、肿瘤和基质）。
结果
在57例接受PD-1阻断治疗的EGFR突变NSCLC患者中，39例患者有足够的组织用于分析TME。PD-1阻断的总体缓解率（ORR）为12.3%。只有肿瘤CD8阳性（CD8）IC状态与缓解显著相关（肿瘤CD8ICs中位数：299/mm对115/mm，P < 0.01）。在6例同时具有高PD-L1表达（TPS：≥50%）/高肿瘤CD8 ICs（≥205/mm）的患者中，5例（83.3%）出现缓解，且无进展生存期（PFS）显著更长（PFS：9.4个月对1.8个月，P < 0.01）。相比之下，7例高PD-L1表达/低肿瘤CD8ICs（<205/mm）的患者均未出现缓解。
结论
同时高PD-L1表达和高肿瘤CD8 ICs可预测EGFR突变患者对PD-1阻断疗法的反应和更长的PFS。
