Impact of STK11 mutation on first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) outcomes in a real-world KRAS G12C mutant lung adenocarcinoma cohort.

9106 Background: The introduction of KRAS G12C inhibitors into clinical trials has demonstrated promise and may provide a new therapeutic option for patients (pts) harboring KRAS G12C mutations. Recent data has also indicated that immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have shown benefit in KRAS G12C mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); however, data on the impact of co-occurring STK11 mutations on outcomes are conflicting. We utilized the Guardant INFORM real-world clinical-genomic database to assess the impact of co-occurring STK11 mutations on outcomes in pts with KRAS G12C mutant LUAD treated with a first-line ICI containing regimen. Methods: This retrospective matched cohort observational study was conducted in a nationally representative clinical-genomic database covering over 137,000 pts with comprehensive ctDNA results and associated clinical information. Adult pts with metastatic LUAD who received ≥ 1 dose of first-line anti-PD1/PD-L1 ± chemotherapy and had at least 90 days follow-up after first KRAS G12C detection were included. A cohort of pts without KRAS G12C, including KRAS wildtype pts and pts with other KRAS mutations, were matched 3:1 for age, gender, year of index and baseline comorbidity. Time to next treatment (TTNT), time to discontinuation (TTD), real-world overall survival (rwOS) were compared with vs. without STK11 mutations for both cohorts using cox proportional-hazards model. Results: Among 330 pts in the KRAS G12C cohort, 21% (n = 70) had an STK11 mutation. Among the matched cohort (n = 938), 754 pts were KRAS wildtype, of whom 6% (n = 49) had STK11 mutations. Within the KRAS G12C cohort, pts with STK11 mutations had statistically significant shorter TTNT (hazard ratio [HR] 2.7, 95% confidence internal [CI] 1.8-4.0, p < 0.0001), TTD (HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0-2.0, p < 0.04) and rwOS (HR 3.2, 95% CI 2.0-5.1, p < 0.0001) than pts without STK11 mutations. Within the matched KRAS wildtype cohort, the differences in TTD (HR 1.4, 95% CI = 1.0-2.0, p = 0.08) and rwOS (HR 1.4, 95% CI = 0.8-2.4, p = 0.3) in patients with vs. without STK11 mutation did not reach statistical significance (Table). Conclusions: This study provides real-world evidence that STK11 co-mutations are associated with worse outcomes among pts with KRAS G12C mutant LUAD treated with first-line ICI. These inferior outcomes indicate a high unmet medical need among LUAD pts harboring co-occurring KRAS G12C and STK11 mutations and demonstrate the need for effective targeted and/or combination therapies in this patient population.[Table: see text]
