Here, we report on the prevalence of PD-L1 expression in pts screened for enrollment in 3 global clinical trials that investigated the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in pts with advanced NSCLC: KEYNOTE-001 (NCT01295827), KEYNOTE-010 (NCT01905657), and KEYNOTE-024 (NCT02142738). Methods: All 3 studies required provision of a tumor sample (archival or newly obtained) for PD-L1 testing as an entry criterion. PD-L1 expression was determined using the companion diagnostic PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay. PD-L1 expression was determined based on percentage of tumor cells with positive membranous staining and was reported as the tumor proportion score (TPS). Results: A total of 5879 pts were screened for eligibility in KEYNOTE-001 (n = 1242), KEYNOTE-010 (n = 2699), and KEYNOTE-024 (n = 1938). Of these, 4784 (81%) were evaluable for PD-L1; 1596 (33%) had TPS
