Introduction Several studies have shown clinical outcomes data that support the use of CD274 (PD-L1) copy-number (CN) gains and/or losses as a biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICPI). Here, we present the landscape of CD274 CN changes across a large cohort of solid tumor cases and correlate these with PD-L1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry.Methods We analyzed all cases that underwent comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) testing at Foundation Medicine between August 2014 and June 2020. CD274 CN changes were correlated with PD-L1 expression in tumor types where there were Food and Drug Administration approved companion diagnostic (CDx) claims and the CDx assay was used to assess PD-L1 expression.Results In all, 244 584 samples representing 290 solid tumor types were included in the study. Overall, 17.6% (42 983/244 584) had CD274 CN gains (>specimen ploidy), 44.6% (108 970/244 584) were CD274 CN neutral, and 37.9% (92 631/244 584) had CD274 CN loss. Using different CN cut offs to define CD274 positivity resulted in different prevalence estimates: ploidy +1, 17.4% (42 636/244 584); ploidy +2, 6.2% (15 183/244 584); ploidy +3, 2.2% (5375/244 584); ploidy +4, 1.1% (2712/244 584); and ploidy +8, 0.2% (434/244 584). The prevalence of CN changes and CN positivity varied based on tumor type. CD274 CN gains were significantly associated with PD-L1 positivity in NSCLC, urothelial carcinoma, breast carcinoma, cervical carcinoma, esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and head and neck SCC (ORs 3.3, 3.0, 2.0, 4.5. 3.8, 8.4, 1.4, respectively; p |
