Résumé
Predictive biomarkers for poor response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is an area of ongoing research. This multicentre retrospective study sought to determine the impact of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumour proportional score (TPS) on outcome in EGFR TKI treated patients. Patients with Stage IIIB/IV lung adenocarcinoma harbouring a sensitising EGFR mutation treated with first-line TKI at five metropolitan hospitals were included. PD-L1 TPS was determined using the Ventana anti-PD-L1 (SP263) assay. High PD-L1 expression was defined as TPS ≥ 50 %. Determinants of progression and survival hazards were modelled using Cox regression. A total of 186 patients were included. Mean age was 67 years, 66 % were female and 54 % were Asian. Patients with high PD-L1 expression (n = 23; 12 %) had significantly shorter progression free survival (6.6 vs 13.0 months, hazard ratio (HR) 2.6 95 % CI 1.6-4.2, p < 0.0001) and overall survival (11.5 vs 32.9 months, HR 3.3, 95 % CI 1.9-5.7, p < 0.0001) compared to patients with PD-L1 low/negative tumours. This remained significant in multivariate analyses. High PD-L1 in post-TKI progression biopsies was not associated with poorer survival. In this large, real-world cohort of EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients, high PD-L1 expression was associated with early resistance to 1st generation EGFR TKIs and shorter survival, regardless of ethnicity.
