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-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma (UC), gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, and esophageal carcinoma tissues using EnVision FLEX visualization system on Autostainer Link 48.

PD-L1 protein expression in NSCLC, SCCHN, and UC is determined by the percentage of evaluable tumor cells exhibiting partial or complete membrane staining at any intensity.

PD-L1 protein expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), 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.

Therapy

NSCLC

When used in accordance with approved therapeutic labeling:

PD-L1 expression (≥ 1% or ≥ 5% or ≥ 10% tumor cell expression), as detected by PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx in non-squamous NSCLC (nsNSCLC) may be associated with enhanced survival from OPDIVO®.

PD-L1 expression (≥ 1% tumor cell expression), as detected by PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx in SCCHN may be associated with enhanced survival from OPDIVO®.

PD-L1 expression (≥ 1% tumor cell expression), as detected by PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx in UC may be associated with enhanced response rate and enhanced disease-free survival from OPDIVO®.

See the OPDIVO® and OPDIVO QVANTIG® product labels for specific clinical circumstances guiding PD-L1 testing.
