AIM PD-L1-NSCLC: Artificial intelligence-powered PD-L1 quantification for accurate prediction of tumor proportion score in diverse, multi-stain clinical tissue samples

Patients with NSCLC can benefit from treatment with PD-L1-targeting immunotherapy, and current guidelines recommend quantification of the
PD-L1 biomarker for patient tissue samples. 1 Currently, PD-L1 expression is assessed by pathologist using an approved PD-L1 immunohistochemistry assay. 2 However, manual assessment is challenging because the four different FDA approved different PD-L1 immunohistochemical assays have different scoring criteria.2 Additionally, pathologist inter- and intra-variability can affect scoring. 3

Here, we report the development and validation of machine learning (ML) models for the quantification of PD-L1 in non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) that are clone agnostic and can be incorporated into clinical trials with varied workflows.
