Abstract

Abstract Background CD155 is a transmembrane protein that inhibits antitumor immune response and represents a predictor of worse prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it remains unexplored its association with clinical characteristics and genomic status of Latin American patients. This study characterizes the CD155 expression and its clinical implications in this population. Methods Tissue biopsies from 86 patients with locally-advanced or metastatic NSCLC were assessed for CD155 protein expression, ALK rearrangements and EGFR mutations. Cutoff values for high CD155 expression (CD155high) were determined from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves according to 2-year survival. It was evaluated its association with clinicopathological features, median progression-free survival (mPFS) and overall survival (mOS). Results the cutoff score for CD155high was 155 in the entire cohort and in patients without oncogenic alterations, and it was 110 in patients with oncogenic alterations. Eighty-four patients (97.7%) were CD155 positive, of which fifty-six (65.0%) had CD155high. EGFR L858R mutation related to lower CD155 IHC score than exon 19 deletion. Individuals with CD155high showed a shorter mOS (13.0 vs. 30.8 months; HR: 1.96 [95% CI, 1.15–3.35]; p = 0.014). Patients without oncogenic alterations having a CD155high displayed shorter mPFS (1.6 vs. 6.4 months, HR: 2.09 [95% CI, 1.06–4.20]; p = 0.034) and mOS (2.9 vs. 23.1 months; HR: 1.27 [95% CI, 1.07– 4.42]; p = 0.032). Patients with oncogenic alterations having CD155high only showed a trend to shorter mOS (26.3 vs. 52.0 months; HR: 2.39 [95% CI, 0.98–5.83]; p = 0.058). Conclusion CD155high is a predictor of worse outcomes in patients with advanced NSCLC, predominantly among those without oncogenic alterations. CD155 could be a potential biomarker and a molecular target in patients with poor responses to current therapies.
