PD-L1 NSCLC: Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

PD-L1 NSCLC Overview
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer accounted for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. It can be defined as any type of epithelial lung cancer other than SCLC. It is mainly subcategorized into adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, large cell carcinomas and several other types that occur less frequently include adenosquamous carcinomas, and sarcomatoid carcinomas. In these subtypes adenocarcinoma accounts for highest number of cases, i.e., approximately 47% followed by Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Large Cell Carcinoma.

There are several mutations associated with NSCLC but the most common are EGFR, KRAS, ROS-1, BRAF, MET, PD-L1 expression and others. Among all the mutations Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), accounted for approximately 50% of the total cases of NSCLC.

PD-L1 (also known as CD274), is considered an immune checkpoint facilitating anti-tumor suppression of the immune pathway. The expression of PD-L1 is observed on the surface of macrophages, antigen-presenting cells, B and T-lymphocytes, epithelial, muscle and endothelial cells, whereas PD-1 receptor is expressed predominantly by activated cytotoxic T cells. PD-L1 ligand binds to PD-1 receptor on activated T cells and this connection results in suppression of the immune system. PD-L1 have become routinely part of the clinical approach for management of NSCLC where elevated levels of PD-L1 expression observed on the cell surface of cancer cells.

PD-L1 NSCLC Diagnosis
The diagnosis and staging of NSCLC are often done at the same time. A laboratory test is done to check for certain genes, proteins, or other molecules in a sample of tissue, blood, or other body fluid. Molecular tests check for certain gene or chromosome changes that occur in NSCLC.

PD-L1 NSCLC Treatment
PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies therapy is recommended for the patients showing PD-L1 expressions. In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized and changed the standard of care in patients with NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, fundamentally those that act by blocking PD-1 and its ligand, the PD-L1, have emerged as novel treatment strategies in NSCLC, demonstrating undoubted superiority over chemotherapy in terms of efficacy.
Several of these immune checkpoint modulators have recently gained regulatory approval for the treatment of advanced NSCLC, such as Opdivo (nivolumab), Tecentriq (atezolizumab), Keytruda (pembrolizumab, and recently, Imfinzi (durvalumab). Among all of the approved PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, the NSCLC therapy area is dominated by Keytruda (pembrolizumab), with revenues from this particular market helping the drug to achieve a hit status.

PD-L1 NSCLC Epidemiology
PD-L1 NSCLC Epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current PD-L1 NSCLC patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.

Key Findings
The total NSCLC cases of patients by PD-L1 genetic biomarkers in the 7MM were observed to be 242,014 in 2017 which is expected grow during the study period, i.e., 2017–2030.
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted PD-L1 NSCLC Epidemiology[segmented as Total Incident Cases of NSCLC, Total Incident Cases of NSCLC Patients by Histology, Total Diagnosed Cases of NSCLC Patients by Stages, Total PD-L1-NSCLC Cases of Patients, and Treated PD-L1-NSCLC Patient Pool of NSCLC]scenario of PD-L1 NSCLC in the 7MM covering United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy , Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan from 2017 to 2030.

Country Wise-PD-L1 NSCLC Epidemiology
Estimates show that the highest incident population of PD-L1 NSCLC is in the United States, estimated to be around 39% of the total PD-L1 in the 7MM (2017), followed by Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain in 2017.

PD-L1 NSCLC Market Outlook
Currently PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies therapy is recommended for the patients showing PD-L1 expressions. In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized and changed the standard of care in patients with NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, fundamentally those that act by blocking PD-1 and its ligand, the PD-L1, have emerged as novel treatment strategies in NSCLC, demonstrating undoubted superiority over chemotherapy in terms of efficacy.

Treatments for patients with advanced NSCLC are palliative, and thus intended to prolong survival and preserve quality of life for as long as possible, while minimizing the side effects due to treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting either programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) have become routinely part of the clinical approach for management of NSCLC. Specifically, patients with PD-L1 expression ?50% are typically offered monotherapy with the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab, although some with rapidly progressing or very extensive disease may be treated with a platinum doublet chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab. For patients with PD-L1 expression <50%, the combination of a platinum-doublet chemotherapy and pembrolizumab is standard. Choice of chemotherapy, for those receiving it is mainly influenced by histology.

So, treatment approach of PD-L1 expressed NSCLC is mainly depend on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, but to increase the efficacy of the treatment several companies are developing combinational products for the treatment of PD-L NSCLC.
