Background: Despite the success of immunotherapy directed at inhibiting of programmed death-1 (PD1)/PD-ligand (L)1 signaling, it is not established whether PD-L1 expression correlates with the clinical
response and outcome in different tumors. The present meta-analysis investigates whether the PD-L1
status, detected by immunohistochemistry, is associated with clinical response and mortality in patients
treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
Methods: A systematic literature search and quantitative analysis were planned, conducted and reported
following CONSORT and QUORUM checklists, up to December 2015, to identify clinical trials with information on cancer outcome by PD-L1 immunohistochemical expression in tumor tissues. We used random
effects models to estimate Summary Objective Response Rates (SORRs) and Summary Odd Ratio (SOR)
for the comparison of PD-L1 positive and negative patients.
Results: We summarized 20 trials carried out in metastatic melanoma (MM), non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients receiving anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies
(4230 MM, 1417 NSCLC and 312 RCC patients). Positive PD-L1 MM patients showed a signicant decrease (53%) in the risk of mortality vs. negative cases with no heterogeneity. Furthermore,
SORRs were 45% and 27% in PD-L1 positive and negative patients, respectively, and SOR indicates
a signicant difference in term of responses: 2.14 (95% CI: 1.65, 2.77), with low between-study
heterogeneity (I2 = 35%). Furthermore, results from randomized clinical trials on MM showed that
PD-L1 expression is signicantly associated with greater clinical response rates to anti-PD1 treatments (SOR 1.89; 95%CI: 1.35, 2.64) but not to other treatments (SOR 0.96; 95%CI: 0.5, 1.87).

In non-squamous NSCLC SORRs were 29% and 11% in PD-L1 positive and negative patients, respectively,
and SOR indicates a signicant difference between responses: 3.78 (1.54, 9.24), with no between-study
heterogeneity. Squamous NSCLC and RCC did not show any signicant difference in response according
to the PD-L1 status.
Conclusion: PD-L1 expression is signicantly associated with mortality and clinical response to anti-PD1/PD-L1 antibodies in MM patients and with clinical response in patients with non-squamous NSCLC.

1. Introduction
A dynamic relationship exists between host and tumor, and the
ability of the tumor to evade immune recognition often determines the clinical course of the disease (Shin and Ribas, 2015).
Multiple mechanisms of immune suppression are known to prevent effective antitumor immunity, including increased secretion
of immunosuppressive cytokines, i.e., interleukin (IL)-10 and tumor
growth factor (TGF)-, reduced expression of major histocompatibility antigens on cell surface, enhanced differentiation of
immune effector cells to a regulatory phenotype, as well as an
inux of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor associated
macrophages (Pardoll, 2012). Receptors expressed in the plasma
membrane of immune cells, by ne tuning cellular activation or
inhibition, are key regulators of infections, autoimmunity and
cancer. While some of these receptors exert positive activities,
others produce detrimental effects. Antibodies, which target regulatory proteins, either inhibiting repressor receptors or stimulating
of activating receptors, represent potential strategies to enhance
immune responses, and ameliorate cancer outcome (Pardoll, 2012).
The use of immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies that
directly enhance the anti-tumor immune response by T cells, or
block immunologic checkpoints that would otherwise restrain
effective anti-tumor immunity, have boosted signicant enthusiasm in cancer treatment (Postow et al., 2015a). Cancer development
is facilitated by dis-regulation of physiological pathways that,
under normal circumstances, down-regulate immune activation
and maintain tolerance to self. Among these pathways an important
contribution is given by the programmed death-1 (PD-1)/PD-ligand
(L) 1 axis.
PD-1 is a key immune-checkpoint receptor expressed by activated T cells, which mediates immunosuppression. PD-1 functions
primarily in peripheral tissues, where T cells may encounter the
immunosuppressive PD-1 ligands, namely PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PDL2 (B7-DC), which are expressed by tumor cells, stromal cells, or
both (Pardoll, 2012). In agreement with the proposed function of
the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance (Pardoll, 2012), surface expression of PD-L1 in some
tumors has been reported to be an independent predictor of adverse
clinical outcome (Sznol and Chen, 2013), although the prognostic
signicance of PD-L1 expression remains controversial (Puzanov
et al., 2015; Taube et al., 2012; Konishi et al., 2004; Thompson
et al., 2004; Massi et al., 2014). Antibodies blocking the PD-1, or
its ligand (PD-L1), were shown in phase I trials to induce a 30% to
50% response in several cancer types (Topalian et al., 2012). Recent
phase II and III studies backed the accelerated approval of anti-PD1 antibodies for metastatic melanoma (MM), non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) and renal cell cancer (RCC) (Robert et al., 2015a,
2015b; Gettinger et al., 2015; Garon et al., 2015).
Biomarker-driven selection of immunotherapy responders and
non-responders would minimize unnecessary exposure of patients
to potentially permanent and life-threatening immune-related toxicities and reduce the nancial burden for health systems due to
these expensive treatments. Although PD-L1 expression appeared
to correlate with response to treatment from exploratory analyses

3. Results
3.1. Description of literature search and data from included
studies
A total of 173 articles, abstracts, or presentations at international
conferences were retrieved and checked for relevance in terms of
intervention, design and reporting of data both on responses and
survival (Fig. 1). We identied 90 articles or abstracts that published
information on studies evaluating the effects of anti-PD-1/PD-L1
reporting data on clinical responses or deaths by PD-L1 status.
Twenty-ve of these articles/abstracts were not included in the
meta-analysis for the following reasons: (i) Nine were reviews; (ii)
three reported information on trials including other cancer types;
(iii) in thirteen trials, the intervention was not an anti-PD-1/PD-L1
treatment. Sixty-ve articles/abstracts were considered for inclusion; among them, 38 were excluded for the following reasons:
29 were not independent from other studies, 6 did not report
information on responses/deaths by PD-L1 expression, 2 included
only PD-L1 positive patients. Furthermore, one study (Gibney et al.,
2015) was excluded because reported only information on relapse
and not the number of deaths by PD-L1 expression. We eventually
included 27 full-text articles or abstracts/presentations (Supplementary Tables 1S-3S) regarding 22 estimates from 20 trials: 11
in MM patients (n = 4230), 8 in NSCLC patients (n = 1417), and 3

for response showed consistently higher responses in PD-L1 positive vs. negative when PD-L1 status was assessed with 5% cut-off
but the results were not consistent with 1% cut-off, both in NSCLC
and RCC patients.
3.5. Between-study heterogeneity analysis of clinical objective
response according to line of treatment
We studied heterogeneity among trials in MM investigating
anti-PD-1 antibodies as rst or second line of treatment as well as
concomitant to the anti-CTLA-4 Ipilimumab (Table 2). The analysis was carried out considering 5% as cut-off when available. We
found that responses in trials with anti-CTLA-4 given concomitantly with anti-PD-1 were higher than with anti-PD-1 alone, even
if not statistically signicant different.
We could evaluate responses by PD-L1 status in patients treated
with anti-PD-1 as rst line in only two trials (Robert et al., 2015a;
Wolchok et al., 2015) and responses were higher than in six trials
that investigated anti-PD-1 therapy in second line treatment, without concomitant anti-CTLA-4 (Ipilimumab), both in PD-L1 negative

patients (38% vs. 15%; P = 0.07) and in PD-L1 positive patients (55%
vs. 37%; P = 0.34). In NSCLC, all patients received anti-PD-1 as second line treatment and the summary ORR were lower than in MM:
14% (95% CI: 1018) for PD-L1 negative and 25% (95% CI: 2031) for
PD-L1 positive.
3.6. Sensitivity analysis of summary estimates in patients
receiving anti PD-1 therapy (excluding anti PD-L1 trials)
Since, in the present analysis, we included NSCLC patients who
received anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies, we performed a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of anti-PD-1 therapy alone
by excluding patients treated with anti-PD-L1 antibodies. The sensitivity analysis showed no differences in summary estimates by
excluding the only two trials evaluating anti-PD-L1 antibodies
(Spira et al., 2015; Herbst et al., 2014). SOR for PD-L1 positive vs.
PD-L1 negative was 2.67 (95% CI: 1.48, 4.82; I2 = 6%). Furthermore,
SORRs were 13% (95% CI: 917) and 27% (95% CI: 2232) in PD-L1
positive and negative, respectively.
4. Discussion
The present meta-analysis reports three main ndings. The rst
is that the expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissues correlates with
the clinical response to antibodies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in
MM and in non-squamous NSCLC patients. This contention is supported by the difference in the objective response observed in MM
(45% vs. 27%) and in non-squamous NSCLC (29% vs. 11%) according
to the positive vs. negative expression of PD-L1, respectively. Furthermore, regardless of cut-off for estimating the positivity of PD-L1
expression (either 5% or 1%) the correlation with the response rate
is maintained. In addition, the nding that the higher the IHC PDL1 overexpression (5% vs. 1%), the greater the association of the
response rate with PD-L1 status, further strengthens the clinical
importance of the present proposal. Our ndings are consistent
with those recently reported in a pooled analysis of 655 melanoma
patients enrolled in the KEYNOTE-001 study (Daud et al., 2014) and
in previously-treated, advanced NSCLC patients in the KEYNOTE010 study (Herbst et al., 2014) underlining the clinical benet of
anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies in PD-L1 positive melanoma patients.
Although supported by smaller numbers of cases, similar ndings are documented in non-squamous NSCLC patients. Squamous
NSCLC did not show any signicant difference in response according to the PD-L1 status. Consistently with these results, in the
recently reported CheckMate-017 the benet of nivolumab over
docetaxel was independent from PD-L1 expression regardless of
the cut-off used. A potential limit of our present meta-analysis is
the inclusion of patients enrolled in phase I studies, where response
rates were not usually a primary endpoint and are subject of great
bias in the tumor assessment. However, the clinical development
of immunomodulating agents has substantially changed the way
96
fail to respond to therapy because the PD-L1 expression is constitutive, driven by activation of a pathway within the tumor
(e.g., PI3-kinase), rather than induced by an adaptive response to
tumor-specic CD8+ lymphocyte inltration (Chen et al., 2015;
Berry and Taube, 2015; Taube et al., 2014). Blockade may have no
effect because the tumor microenvironment is lacking the effector immune cells that ght cancer. Actually, pre-treatment samples
obtained from responding patients showed higher numbers of CD8, PD-1- and PD-L1-expressing cells at the invasive tumor margin and
inside tumors, with close proximity between PD-1 and PD-L1, and
a more clonal TCR repertoire (Tumeh et al., 2014).
Our meta-analysis shows that a proportion of PD-L1 negative patients also benets from anti-PD-1 therapy in MM and
squamous-NSCLC. Thus, expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissues,
while cannot be considered as a predictive biomarker of eligibility for treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, it may
rather represent a correlation marker for non-squamous NSCLC and
melanoma. Nevertheless, further studies also with longer follow-up
are needed to establish rm conclusions. Observed differences in
squamous and non-squamous NSCLC subpopulations may results
from smoking habits, mutational load and key targets (i.e., EGFR,
ALK) and dissimilarities in immune status or immunomodulatory
mechanisms. Activation of EGFR induced PD-L1 expression may
contribute to escape from the anti-tumor immune response and
blockade of the PD-1 pathway using EGFR-TKIs was found to reduce
PD-L1 expression (Akbay et al., 2013; Azuma et al., 2014; DIncecco
et al., 2015).
Reasons explaining unexpected clinical responses in negative
patients may include intra-tumor and intra-patient heterogeneity in PD-L1 expression (Madore et al., 2015; Callea et al., 2015;
McLaughlin et al., 2015) and the dynamic inducible expression of
PD-L1 in the tumor microenvironment (Taube et al., 2012) as well
as PD-L2 expression (Rozali et al., 2012). Sampling errors, technical
and pre-analytical issues may also contribute to the accuracy on
the assessment in formalin-xed and parafn-embedded samples,
and optimal strategies for PD-L1 testing in tumor tissues remain an
unsettled question. Lung specimens are particularly challenging for
PD-L1 evaluation due to a high rate of sampling errors in small lung
biopsies and evaluation of cytological material in which relevance
of immune cells inltration is undetermined.
PD-L1 expression has been investigated also in the context of
immune checkpoint blockade combination strategy. The combined
administration of anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) immunotherapy (Ipilimumab) plus anti PD-1 immunotherapy
(Nivolumab) has shown a higher level of anti-melanoma activity
than monotherapy with either Nivolumab or Ipilimumab, although
this schedule was associated with increased toxicity (Postow et al.,
2015b). Retrospective analysis of a recently reported phase II randomized study has shown that the response rates in wild-type
BRAF and BRAFV600 mutated disease were similar (Postow et al.,
2015b). The objective response rates for the combination were 58%
in patients whose tumors were PD-L1 positive and 55% in those
whose tumors were PD-L1 negative (Postow et al., 2015b). Findings
of a prospective phase III randomized study that the combination of
anti-CTLA-4 (Ipilimumab) with the anti-PD-1 are associated with
objective responses higher with the combination therapy than with
the anti-PD-1 alone support this contention (Larkin et al., 2015).
Efcacy of combination of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab was apparently independent from PD-L1 status. Subgroup analyses of the
CA 209067 trial suggest that the greatest benet in terms of PFS
with the Nivolumab/Ipilimumab combination vs. Nivolumab alone
was observed in PD-L1 negative tumors (Larkin et al., 2015). However, longer follow-up and OS data from this phase III trial will
be required to determine whether the combination should replace
Nivolumab monotherapy as the preferred approach for checkpoint
inhibition immunotherapy as well as the role of PD-L1 expression.
