PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx for Cervical Cancer
In cervical cancer, PD-L1 testing with PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx (SK006) can help identify patients for treatment with KEYTRUDA1,2
- Globally, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women,3 and approximately 30,447 new cases were diagnosed in Europe in 20204
- PD-L1 testing provides a direct assessment of PD-L1 expression, which is a biomarker for response to anti-PD-L1 therapy in cervical cancer1,2
- In the KEYNOTE-826 clinical trial, PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx was used to assess PD‑L1 expression in patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer who have not received prior systemic therapy*1,2

PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx was the only PD-L1 assay used in the KEYTRUDA KEYNOTE-826 clinical trial in cervical cancer1,2
PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx is CE-IVD–marked as the clinical trial‑proven companion diagnostic for KEYTRUDA1
† Chemotherapy: paclitaxel and cisplatin or paclitaxel and carboplatin
‡ At the pre-defined study endpoint, the median OS of the KEYTRUDA arm in the CPS ≥ 1 population was not reached: meaning, more than 50% of treated patients were still alive
§ Hazard Ratio, 0.64; 95% Confidence Interval, 0.50–0.81
¶ Hazard Ratio, 0.62; 95% Confidence Interval, 0.50–0.77
