A Novel Image Analysis Assay for Determining Programmed Death-Ligand (PD-L1 [22C3]) in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer that Accounts for Tissue and Alveolar Macrophages (Poster No. 435 #AACR2021)
Background The Dako PD-L1 (22C3) antibody is used to measure tumor PD-L1 levels in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), serving as a companion diagnostic to the check point inhibitor drug pembrolizumab. However, interpretation of the PD-L1 (22C3) immunohistochemistry...
Characterizing the Heterogeneity of CD8 Inflammation in Biopsied Tumor Tissues Using Novel Image Analysis Techniques (Poster No. 3137 #AACR2021 in partnership with Scholar Rock)
Key takeaways An image analysis-based algorithm was used to assess CD8 expression in numerous tumor nests in non-small cell lung cancer, bladder, and melanoma tumor samples Measuring CD8 expression within tumor nests rather than averaging across a whole tissue section...
Impact of adding Viagenpumatucel-L (HS-110) to Nivolumab in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients with Low Levels of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes
Summary View a scientific, collaborative success with our client, Heat Biologics, presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress 2020 medical oncology conference. We cover image analysis of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and more.
Image Analysis-Based Identification and Quantification of Macrophages in PD-L1 (22C3) Stained NSCLC Tissue Sections Without Additional Macrophage-Specific Staining
ABSTRACT PD-L1 positivity in tumor-associated macrophages has been related to a favorable response to anti-PD-1 and PD-L1 targeted therapies. This concept has driven interest in specifically identifying macrophages in PD-L1 stained tissues, but pathologists often have...
Protein Tyrosine Kinase 7 (PTK7) Biomarker Analysis in Patients treated with PF-06647020, a PTK7 Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC), in a Phase I Dose Expansion Study
BACKGROUND F-06647020, an ADC comprising a humanized monoclonal antibody against PTK7, a cleavable valine-citrulline linker, and an auristatin payload, is being investigated in an ongoing Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. We hypothesized...
