Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx for Autostainer Link 48
PD-L1 protein expression is defined as the percentage of evaluable tumor cells exhibiting partial or complete membrane staining at any intensity, as defined by the specific tumor indication interpretation guidelines in the instructions for use (IFU).
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) - companion diagnostic indication
PD-L1 expression (≥ 1% tumor cell expression) as detected by PD-L1 28-8 pharmDx in NSCLC is indicated as an aid in identifying NSCLC patients for treatment with OPDIVO® (nivolumab) in combination with YERVOY® (ipilimumab).
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) - companion diagnostic indication
PD-L1 expression (≥ 1% tumor cell expression) as detected by PD-L1 28-8 pharmDx in ESCC is indicated as an aid in identifying ESCC patients for treatment with OPDIVO® (nivolumab) in combination with fluoropyrimidine and platinum-based chemotherapy or OPDIVO® (nivolumab) in combination with YERVOY® (ipilimumab).
Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC)
PD-L1 expression as detected by PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx in non-squamous NSCLC may be associated with enhanced survival from OPDIVO® (nivolumab)
Melanoma
Positive PD-L1 status as determined by PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx in melanoma may be used as an aid in the assessment of patients for whom OPDIVO® (nivolumab) and YERVOY® (ipilimumab) combination treatment is being considered.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN)
PD-L1 expression as detected by PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx in SCCHN may be associated with enhanced survival from OPDIVO® (nivolumab).
PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx Kit
The kit includes reagents required for the immunohistochemical staining (except wash buffer and Hematoxylin), control slides representing different expression levels of PD-L1 protein, and detailed instructions. The kit has been tailored especially for use on Autostainer Link 48 instruments. The materials provided are sufficient for 50 tests (50 slides incubated with monoclonal rabbit antibody to PD-L1 and 50 slides incubated with the corresponding Negative Control Reagent, 100 slides in total).
