      Background:
      Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy has delivered clinical benefit for patients with NSCLC, and PD-L1 has emerged as a predictive biomarker. In the Phase III SELECT-1 trial (NCT01933932), selumetinib (AZD6244, ARRY-142886), an oral, potent and selective, allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitor with a short half-life, plus second-line docetaxel did not provide clinical benefit for patients with KRAS-mutant (KRASm) NSCLC compared with placebo plus docetaxel (PBO+DOC). Although no incremental benefit was observed, it is important to evaluate biomarkers, such as PD-L1, to understand more about the biology of patients with KRASm NSCLC.

      Methods:
      In total, 510 patients with a prospectively, centrally confirmed KRAS mutation (cobas® KRAS Mutation Test, Roche Molecular Systems) were randomised 1:1 to selumetinib 75 mg BID, plus docetaxel 75 mg/m[2] q21d (SEL+DOC), or PBO+DOC. Evaluations included progression-free survival (PFS) by investigator assessment (RECIST 1.1; primary endpoint), and overall survival (OS). Association of tumour PD-L1 status with clinical responses was assessed as an exploratory objective. PD-L1 status was centrally determined using the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx test (Dako) for all patients with sufficient tumour sample. Samples with a pre-specified cut-off of ≥5% tumour cell staining were considered PD-L1 positive.

      Results:
      SEL+DOC did not improve PFS or OS compared with PBO+DOC. PD-L1 status was determined for 385 (75%) patients: 224 (58%) samples were PD-L1 <5%, and 161 (42%) samples were PD-L1 ≥5%; the remaining 125 patients had unknown PD-L1 status due to insufficient tumour sample. Subgroups were balanced across treatments. PD-L1 subgroup analysis of PFS and OS is presented below.

      Subgroup Events (%) in SEL+DOC group Events (%) in PBO+DOC group HR (95% CI)
      PFS
      PD-L1 <5% 94/112 (84%) 101/112 (90%) 0.89 (0.67, 1.18)
      PD-L1 ≥5% 65/79 (82%) 71/82 (87%) 0.70 (0.50, 0.99)
      PD-L1 unknown 59/63 (94%) 57/62 (92%) 1.24 (0.86, 1.79)
      OS
      PD-L1 <5% 73/112 (65%) 74/112 (66%) 0.94 (0.68, 1.30)
      PD-L1 ≥5% 55/79 (70%) 58/82 (71%) 0.89 (0.61, 1.28)
      PD-L1 unknown 48/63 (76%) 38/62 (61%) 1.57 (1.02, 2.41)


      Conclusion:
      Prevalence of PD-L1 positive status in this KRASm cohort was similar to that reported for a pan-NSCLC cohort (Borghaei, NEJM 2015). No significant PFS or OS differences were observed between treatments in either PD-L1 positive or negative tumours. Additional biomarker analyses are planned for different KRAS codon mutations, and LKB1 and TP53 status.
