  • *Five patients with CRC were considered to have high microsatellite instability.

  • †PD-L1 expression positive was specific to indication (GC: TC ≥25% or IC ≥25%; EC: TC ≥25% or IC ≥25%; HCC: TC ≥1%; OC: TC ≥25% or IC ≥25%; NSCLC: TC ≥25%; TNBC: IC/TA ≥1%; CRC: TC ≥1%; HNSCC: TC ≥25%; UC: TC ≥25% or IC ≥25%; CC: TC ≥1%; RCC: IC/TA≥1%).

  • ‡Percentages are calculated based on the total number of patients in each subcategory.

  • CC, cholangiocarcinoma; CR, complete response; CRC, colorectal cancer; EC, esophageal cancer; GC, gastric cancer; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; HNSCC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; IC, immune cell; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; OC, ovarian cancer; ORR, objective response rate; PD-1, programmed cell death-1; PD-L1, programmed cell death ligand-1; PR, partial response; RCC, renal cell carcinoma; TA, tumor area; TC, tumor cell; TNBC, triple-negative breast cancer; UC, urothelial carcinoma.
