The PD-L1 stain paired with nivolumab: tumour-cell staining of 1% or more for nivolumab with ipilimumab in lung cancer, and a combined positive score of 1 or more in oesophageal and gastric cancers.
Agilent's (Dako's) PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx was first approved on 9 October 2015 (PMA P150025) for detecting PD-L1 in non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer. A supplement on 15 May 2020 made it the companion diagnostic for nivolumab with ipilimumab in non-small-cell lung cancer at tumour-cell staining of 1% or more. A supplement on 1 July 2026 added nivolumab in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma and in gastric, gastro-oesophageal junction and oesophageal adenocarcinoma at a combined positive score (CPS) of 1 or more. It uses a different antibody from the 22C3 assay that is paired with pembrolizumab.
Immunohistochemistry with the rabbit monoclonal anti-PD-L1 antibody clone 28-8; the FDA approval order defines PD-L1 expression in lung cancer as the percentage of tumour cells with membrane staining at any intensity. Connects to PD-L1.
