Comparison of three PD-L1 immunohistochemical assays in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)

Emma J. de Ruiter et al.

Summary: This study compared the performance of two PD-L1 standardized assays and one laboratory-developed test in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, revealing moderate concordance between different staining assays and considerable differences in PD-L1 positivity when using clinically relevant cutoffs. These findings suggest caution is needed when using PD-L1 expression to guide clinical practice.

A multicentre analytical comparison study of inter-reader and inter-assay agreement of four programmed death-ligand 1 immunohistochemistry assays for scoring in triple-negative breast cancer

Aurelia Noske et al.

Summary: In this multicentre study, PD-L1-IC-positivity for SP142, 22C3 and 28-8 was found to be reproducible and analytically concordant in TNBC, suggesting analytical interchangeability. However, SP263 showed significantly higher PD-L1-IC-positivity, warranting further investigation into its relevance. Inter-reader agreement was moderate-to-strong for each assay, while inter-assay agreement varied from poor to strong.

Summary: The clinical development of pembrolizumab showed that PD-L1 expression level is a biomarker for patient response and cancer outcome, lowering the threshold for PD-L1 positivity expanded the patient population, and immune cell PD-L1 expression plays an important role in predicting tumor response in patients treated with pembrolizumab.

Does Reproducibility Drive Clinical Accuracy?: Immunohistochemical Tests as Examples

Kenneth Emancipator

Summary: The study developed a model showing that analytical error tests meeting certain criteria can achieve clinical accuracy, even if reproducibility is less than 85%. This suggests that imperfect assays can still improve medical decision-making.
