1 PD-L1 expression, DANUBE—High PD-L1 expression was defined as at least 25% of tumor cells with membrane staining or at least 25% of immune cells staining for PD-L1 at any intensity if more than 1% of the tumor area contained immune cells or 100% of immune cells staining for PD-L1 at any intensity if 1% of the tumor area contained immune cells. KEYNOTE-361—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. The specimen should be considered to have PD-L1 expression if CPS ≥ 1. IMvigor130—IC0: Tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) < 1%, IC1:IC ≥ 1% and <5%, IC2/3:IC ≥ 5%.
