Intended Use

For in vitro diagnostic use.

PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx is a qualitative immunohistochemical assay using Monoclonal Rabbit Anti-PD-L1, Clone 28-8 intended for use in the detection of PD-L1 protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma (UC), melanoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, and esophageal carcinoma tissues using EnVision FLEX visualization system on Autostainer Link 48.

PD-L1 protein expression in nsNSCLC, SCCHN, UC, muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC), melanoma, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is determined by using % tumor cell expression, which is the percentage of evaluable tumor cells exhibiting partial or complete membrane staining at any intensity.

PD-L1 protein expression in gastric adenocarcinoma, GEJ adenocarcinoma, and esophageal adenocarcinoma is determined by using Combined Positive Score (CPS), which is the number of PD-L1 staining cells (tumor cells, lymphocytes, macrophages) divided by the total number of viable tumor cells, multiplied by 100.

Non-Companion Diagnostic Indications*

Tumor Indication

PD-L1 Expression Clinical
Cut-Off

Intended Use

nsNSCLC

≥ 1%, ≥ 5%, ≥ 10% tumor cell expression

PD-L1 expression as detected by PD-L1 IHC28-8 pharmDx in non-squamous NSCLC (nsNSCLC) and SCCHN may be associatedwith enhanced survival from OPDIVO®(nivolumab).

SCCHN

≥ 1% tumor cell expression

UC

≥ 1% tumor cell expression

PD-L1 expression as detected by PD-L1IHC28-8 pharmDx in urothelial carcinomamaybe associated with enhanced responserate from OPDIVO®(nivolumab).

Melanoma

≥ 1%, ≥ 5% tumor cell expression

PD-L1 expression as detected by PD-L1 IHC28-8 pharmDx in melanoma may be used asan aid in the assessment of patients for whom OPDIVO®(nivolumab) and YERVOY®(ipilimumab) combination treatment is beingconsidered.

*PD-L1 expression may be used as an aid in the assessment of patients for whom OPDIVO mono- or combination therapies is being considered.

See the local OPDIVO®, YERVOY®, and OpdualagTM product labels for specific clinical circumstances guiding PD-L1 testing.
