Abstrakt: Simple Summary: This study focused on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy effectiveness in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly concerning programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status and tumor mutational burden (TMB). The study utilized an Israeli multi-center registry spanning from January 2018 to December 2022, compiling detailed clinicopathological and molecular epidemiological data alongside treatment modalities. Clinical endpoints were assessed through Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox-regression models based on treatment assignment. While evidence on PD-L1 status and immune checkpoint inhibitors is established, data on TMB efficacy in both clinical trials and real-world settings are lacking. This study presents the largest academic real-world dataset on PD-L1 and TMB status in advanced NSCLC patients, suggesting comparable survival benefits despite limited direct comparisons. The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy concerning programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status is well established in patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there remains a paucity of evidence regarding the efficacy concerning tumor mutational burden (TMB) in both clinical trials and real-world data (RWD). In the current article, clinicopathological and molecular epidemiological data were meticulously collected, and treatment modalities were meticulously recorded. The final analysis included a study population of 194 patients. Median age was 67 years (range 37–86), with the majority being male (71.13%), and 85.71% of patients were either current or former smokers at diagnosis. Adenocarcinoma accounted for most diagnoses (71.65%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (24.23%). In terms of PD-L1 status, 42.78% had an expression level below 1%, 28.35% had an expression between 1–49%, and 28.87% had an expression above 50%. The TMB ranged from 0 to 75, with a median of 10.31 (range 0–75) for PD-L1 expression below 1%, with a median of 9.73 (range 0.95–39.63) for PD-L1 expression between 1–49%, and a median of 9.72 (range 0.95–48) for PD-L1 expression above 50%. Corresponding to patients with low PDL-1 less than 1% and low TMB (0–5), the median overall survival (mOS) was 16 (p = 0.18), and 15 months (p = 0.22), patients with medium PDL-1 (1–49%) and medium TMB (5–10), the mOS was 15 (p = 0.18) and 16 months (p = 0.22), patients with high PDL-1 (>50) and high TMB (>10), the mOS was 24 (p = 0.18) and 21 (p = 0.22) months. This study represents the largest academic RWD dataset concerning PD-L1 and TMB status in patients with locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
