Mayo Clinic Laboratories offers four PD-L1 clones for assessing patient response to specific therapies. The specific PD-L1 clone, scoring method, and eligibility requirements depend on the tumor type, stage of malignancy, previous treatment outcomes, and specific PD-L1 inhibitor under consideration.

The FDA List of Cleared or Approved Companion Diagnostic Devices is frequently updated and provides current guidance for treatment indications and scoring.
