p<0.001) and 45% lower probability of death (HR¼0.549, 95%CI 0.445-0.678, p<0.001) as compared to those with ALI<18, independent of Performance Status, stage at diagnosis, line of treatment and level of PD-L1 expression. There was no statistically significant correlation of ALI with objective response rates to immunotherapy (PD vs CR or PR or SD, p¼0.623).Conclusions: ALI score correlates with clinical benefit from immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC independent from significant co-variables and may assist decisionmaking in clinical practice. Further validation of its value as a predictive marker of immunotherapy efficacy is ongoing.Legal entity responsible for the study: The authors.
Background: KRAS is the most frequently mutated isoform of the rat sarcoma protooncogene in NSCLC. The G12C mutation accounts for w40% of KRAS mutations and occurs in w13% of lung adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this largest US-based cohort study reported to date is to provide real-world evidence on clinicopathological characteristics and treatment patterns in NSCLC KRAS G12C patients in the FH-FMI CGDB.Methods: We performed a retrospective study of adult advanced NSCLC patients who were treated in the Flatiron Health network between January 2011eMarch 2019 with a KRAS G12C mutation detected via FoundationOneÒ tumor sequencing as part of routine, real-world care. Genomic alterations were detected via next-generation sequencing (NGS). Clinicopathological characteristics and treatment patterns were described using de-identified EHR data.Results: 743 advanced NSCLC KRAS G12C patients were identified; 61.1% were female, and the average age (SD) was 67.1 (9.6) years. The majority (97%) were former or current smokers. 69% had advanced or metastatic cancer at initial diagnosis; nonsquamous cell carcinoma (91%) was the most common histology. In the advanced or metastatic setting, 149 (20%) received no therapy, 594 (80%) had at least one line, 301 (41%) had at least two lines, and 151 (20%) had three or more lines of therapy. Limiting to patients with NGS testing prior to or up to 21 days after the start of a line, the most common treatments were platinum-based therapies with/without PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy in first-line (69% and 25%, respectively) and second-line patients (19% and 58%, respectively). Over 94% of these patients were treated in 2015 or later.Conclusions: This is the largest observational study characterizing NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutations. One in five patients did not receive any systemic therapy, and of those treated, platinum-based therapies and PD-1/PD-L1i therapies were commonly used, consistent with treatment patterns expected in these patients. Survival and co-mutation data will be presented.Legal entity responsible for the study: Amgen Inc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
