Biomarkers for Response to Anti-PD-1/Anti-PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Large Meta-Analysis.
Oncology (Williston Park, NY) 2023 May 10
BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that block PD-1/PD-L1 have consistently demonstrated durable clinical activity across multiple histologies but have low overall response rates for many cancers-indicating that too few patients benefit from ICIs. Many studies have explored potential predictive biomarkers (eg, PD-1/PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden [TMB]), no consensus biomarker has been identified.
METHODS: This meta-analysis combined predictive accuracy metrics for various biomarkers, across multiple cancer types, to determine which biomarkers are most accurate for predicting ICI response. Data from 18,792 patients from 100 peer-reviewed studies that evaluated putative biomarkers for response to anti-PD-1/anti- PD-L1 treatment were meta-analyzed using bivariate linear mixed models. Biomarker performance was assessed based on the global area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and 95% bootstrap confidence intervals.
RESULTS: PD-L1 immunohistochemistry, TMB, and multimodal biomarkers discriminated responders and nonresponders better than random assignment (AUCs >.50). Excluding multimodal biomarkers, these biomarkers correctly classified at least 50% of the responders (sensitivity 95% CIs, >.50). Notably, variation in biomarker performance was observed across cancer types.
CONCLUSIONS: Although some biomarkers consistently performed better, heterogeneity in performance was observed across cancer types, and additional research is needed to identify highly accurate and precise biomarkers for widespread clinical use.
