ABSTRACT

The atezolizumab (Tecentriq), a humanized antibody against human programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), combined with nab-paclitaxel was granted with accelerated approval to treat unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) due to the encouraging positive results of the phase 3 IMpassion130 trial using PD-L1 biomarker from immune cells to stratify patients. However, the post-market study IMpassion131 did not support the original observation, resulting in the voluntary withdrawal of atezolizumab from the indication in breast cancer by Genentech in 2021. Emerging evidence has revealed a high frequency of false negative result using the standard immunohistochemical (IHC) staining due to heavy glycosylation of PD-L1. The removal of glycosylation prevents from the false negative staining, enabling more accurate assessment of PD-L1 levels and improving prediction for response to immune checkpoint therapy. In the present study, the natural and de-glycosylated PD-L1 expression in tumor and immune cells from nine TNBC patients were analyzed by using clone 28-8 monoclonal antibody to correlate with treatment outcome. Our results demonstrate that: (1) Removal of the glycosylation indeed enhances the detection of PD-L1 by IHC staining, (2) The PD-L1 levels on tumor cell surface after removal of the glycosylation correlates well with clinical responses for atezolizumab treatment; (3) The criteria used in the IMpassion130 and IMpassion131 trials which scored the natural PD-L1 in the immune cells failed to correlate with the clinical response. Taken together, tumor cell surface staining of PD-L1 with de-glycosylation has a significant correlation with the clinical response for atezolizumab treatment, suggesting that treatment of atezolizumab may be worthy of further consideration with de-glycosylation procedure as a patient s tratification strategy. A larger cohort to validate this important issue is warranted to ensure right patient population who could benefit from the existing FDA-approved drugs.
