| Evidence summary | MSI-H gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma (~5-10% of cases) is associated with improved response to ICI. Pembrolizumab is FDA-approved tumor-agnostically for MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors (KEYNOTE-158, 2017). MSI-H status was a pre-specified subgroup in KEYNOTE-859 (pembro + chemo vs chemo) — benefit was demonstrated across CPS subgroups. Per NCCN Gastric 2025 and ESMO Gastric 2024, MSI-H testing (PCR or NGS) is recommended alongside PD-L1 CPS and HER2 at initial diagnosis of metastatic gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma. ESCAT tier IIA (pre-specified subgroup benefit; FDA approval via tumor-agnostic pathway, not GI-specific indication). Indication selection enforced by algorithm layer; this BMA surfaces context. |
Notes
ESCAT IIA (not IA) because the gastric-specific MSI-H evidence is primarily from tumor-agnostic KEYNOTE-158 and a subgroup of KEYNOTE-859 rather than a dedicated MSI-H gastric trial with OS primary endpoint. Variant_qualifier "MSI-H" ensures MSS/pMMR patients do not match this cell.
