Popis: BACKGROUND: For patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors, PD-L1 tumor proportion score has been validated as a predictive biomarker for improved overall survival. However, its histology-specific predictive value in patients with advanced squamous versus nonsquamous cancers remains unclear. PURPOSE: To assess the differential value of PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) as a predictive biomarker for overall survival after first-line pembrolizumab in patients with squamous versus nonsquamous NSCLC. BASIC PROCEDURES: Retrospective, observational study of patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC who were treated between October 2015 and April 2019 at community oncology clinics and academic medical centers in a de-identified EHR-derived database. Included patients were diagnosed with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, received treatment with first-line, single agent pembrolizumab, and had documentation of PD-L1 testing with a numeric result. Exclusion criteria included alterations in EGFR, ALK, and ROS1.The primary endpoint was overall survival from start of first-line pembrolizumab therapy by squamous or nonsquamous histology and PD-1 expression level measured by TPS (low
