e14174 Background: Although advances on exploration of biomarkers personalized the immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs) delivery, non-invasive blood-based approach remainsan intriguing area for further investigation.This study investigated the feasibility of peripheral isolated PD-1posiCD8T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire profiling in predicting the clinical outcomes of ICBs treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: The study comprised two independent cohorts (A and B), ultimately recruiting total 40 from 51 patients with stage IIIB-IV NSCLCs who received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy between March 14, 2017 and May 2, 2018. Peripheral blood samples of pre- and post-ICBs (the timepoint of first imaging evaluation) were prospectively collected, and PD-1posiCD8 T cells were isolated by flow cytometry for TCR sequencing. The diversity and clonality of the TCR repertoire were calculated for biomarker profiling. Cohort A (n = 25) was used as a training set for discovery of TCR diversity in the prediction of response to ICBs, and cohort B (n = 15) as a validation set. Progression-free survival (PFS) and response to ICBs treatment were correlated with TCR diversity and clonality. Results: In cohort A, patients with high pre-ICBs PD-1posiCD8 TCR diversity had longer PFS than those with low diversity (6.5 vs. 2.6 months, p = .045), which were substantially validated in cohort B. By using the incorporated set, pre-ICBs PD-1posiCD8 TCR diversity exhibited an optimal Youden's index of 0.81 with a sensitivity of 0.87 and a specificity of 0.94 in clarifying clinical response of ICBs (PR+SD vs. PD). Patients with increased PD-1posiCD8 TCR clonality demonstrated significantly improved PFS (7.3 vs. 2.7 months, p = .005) compared to those with decreased TCR clonality. Interestingly, two patients with initial pseudo-PD exhibited similar change of TCR clonality and expansion of dominant TCR clones with those with PR, but not PD. Conclusions: Peripheral PD-1posiCD8 TCR repertoire sequencing might be a promising non-invasive approach for selecting patients who could benefit from ICBs treatment, which guaranteed the further investigation and validation by larger cohorts.
