Abstract
Patients with lung cancer under treatment have been associated with a high risk of COVID-19 infection and potentially worse outcome, but real-world data on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are rare. We assess patients' characteristics and PROs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in an advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohort in Germany. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC from the prospective, multicentre, observational CRISP Registry (NCT02622581) were categorised as pre-pandemic (March 2019 to Feb 2020, n = 1621) and pandemic (March 2020 to Feb 2021, n = 1317). From baseline to month 15, patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed by FACT-L, anxiety and depression by PHQ-4. Association of pandemic status with time to deterioration (TTD) in QoL scales adjusted for potential covariates was estimated using Cox modelling. PROs were documented for 1166 patients (72%) in the pre-pandemic, 979 (74%) in the pandemic group. Almost 60% of patients were male, median age was 66 years, comorbidities occurred in 85%. Regarding HRQoL, mean-change-from-baseline plots hardly differed between both samples. Approximately 15%-21% of patients reported anxiety, about 19%-27% signs of depression. For the pandemic group, TTD was slightly, but statistically significantly, worse for the physical well-being-FACT-G subscale (HR 1.15 [95%CI 1.02-1.30]) and the anxiety-GAD-2 subscale (HR 1.14 [95%CI 1.01-1.29]). These prospectively collected real-world data provide valuable insights into PROs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in advanced NSCLC. For the patients, the pandemic seemed to be less of a burden than the disease itself, as there was a considerable proportion of patients with anxiety and depression in both groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sotorasib is a first-in-class KRAS p.G12C-inhibitor that has entered clinical trials in pretreated patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2018. First response rates were promising in the CodeBreaK trials. It remains unclear whether response to sotorasib and outcomes differ in a real-world setting when including patients underrepresented in clinical trials. METHODS Patients with KRAS p.G12C-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC received sotorasib within the German multicenter sotorasib compassionate use program between 2020 to 2022. Data on efficacy, tolerability, and survival were analyzed in the full cohort and in subgroups of special interest such as co-occurring mutations and across PD-L1 expression levels. RESULTS We analyzed 163 patients who received sotorasib after a median of two treatment lines (range, 0 to 7). Every fourth patient had a poor performance status and 38% had brain metastases (BM). The objective response rate was 38.7%. The median overall survival was 9.8 months (95% CI, 6.5 to not reached). Median real-world (rw) progression-free survival was 4.8 months (9% CI, 3.9 to 5.9). Dose reductions and permanent discontinuation were necessary in 35 (21.5%) and 7 (4.3%) patients, respectively. Efficacy seems to be influenced by PD-L1 expression and a co-occurring KEAP1 mutation. KEAP1 was associated with an inferior survival. Other factors such as BM, STK11, and TP53 mutations had no impact on response and survival. CONCLUSION First results from a real-world population confirm promising efficacy of sotorasib for the treatment of advanced KRAS p.G12C-mutated NSCLC. Patients with co-occurring KEAP1 mutations seem to derive less benefit.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with metastatic NSCLC (mNSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in clinical practice may often not meet the strict inclusion criteria of clinical trials. Our aim was to assess the trial eligibility of patients with mNSCLC treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy in real-world and to compare the outcome of "trial-ineligible" and "potentially trial-eligible" patients. Methods Data from the prospective, clinical research platform CRISP were used to compare patient characteristics, treatment, and outcome of patients with programmed cell death-ligand 1 tumor proportion score greater than or equal to 50% tumors treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy who are deemed either "potentially trial-eligible" or "trial-ineligible" according to inclusion and exclusion criteria of the registrational studies (KEYNOTE-024 and -042). Results Of 746 patients included, 343 patients (46.0%) were classified as "trial-ineligible" and had significantly worse outcomes compared with "potentially trial-eligible" patients (n = 403, 54.0%): median progression-free survival: 6.2 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.2-8.4) versus 10.3 (95% CI: 8.4-13.8) months, hazard ratio (trial-ineligible versus potentially trial-eligible) of 1.43 (95% CI: 1.19-1.72), p less than 0.001; median overall survival: 15.9 (95% CI: 11.4-20.3) versus 25.3 (95% CI: 19.8-30.4) months, hazard ratio of 1.36 (95% CI: 1.10-1.67), p equals 0.004. Conclusions Our data reveal that a considerable proportion of patients with mNSCLC are not eligible to participate in a clinical trial and were found to have worse outcomes than potentially trial-eligible patients, whose outcomes were comparable with those obtained from pivotal clinical trials. This is of substantial clinical relevance for physicians discussing outcomes to be expected with their patients and stresses the need for real-world effectiveness analyses.

Abstract
Kirsten rats sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS), the first discovered human oncogene, has long been recognized as "undruggable". KRAS mutations frequently occur in multiple human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), colorectal cancer(CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC), functioning as a "molecule switch" determining the activation of various oncogenic signaling pathways. Except for its intrinsic pro-tumorigenic role, KRAS alteration also exhibits an unique immune signature characterized by elevated PD-L1 level and high tumor mutational burden(TMB). KRAS mutation shape an immune suppressive microenvironment by impeding effective T cells infiltration and recruiting suppressive immune cells including myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs), regulatory T cells(Tregs), cancer associated fibroblasts(CAFs). In immune checkpoint inhibitor(ICI) era, NSCLC patients with mutated KRAS tend to be more responsive to ICI than patients with intact KRAS. The hallmark for KRAS mutation is the existence of multiple kinds of co-mutations. Different types of co-alterations have distinct tumor microenvironment(TME) signatures and responses to ICI. TP53 co-mutation possess a "hot" TME and achieve higher response to immunotherapy while other loss of function mutation correlated with a "colder" TME and a poor outcome to ICI-based therapy. The groundbreaking discovery of KRAS G12C inhibitors significantly improved outcomes for this KRAS subtype even though efficacy was limited to NSCLC patients. KRAS G12C inhibitors also restore the suppressive TME, creating an opportunity for combinations with ICI. However, an inevitable challenge to KRAS inhibitors is drug resistance. Promising combination strategies such as combination with SHP2 is an approach deserve further exploration because of their immune modulatory effect.

Abstract
Introduction Sotorasib is a crucial therapeutic agent for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the KRAS p.G12C mutation. Despite its efficacy, the relationship between blood sotorasib concentrations and side effects remains largely unexplored. Methods This study enrolled five patients with KRAS p.G12C-positive NSCLC treated with sotorasib (LUMAKRAS® Tablets, Amgen, Japan) between July 2022 and February 2023 at Asahikawa Medical University Hospital. Blood sotorasib levels were monitored, and their association with adverse events was examined, with no adjustments made to drug dosages based on these levels. Results Variable blood sotorasib levels were observed among the participants. Notably, one patient developed interstitial pneumonitis, although a definitive attribution to sotorasib was uncertain due to prior pembrolizumab treatment. The study revealed no consistent association between blood sotorasib levels and adverse events or therapeutic outcomes, with some patients experiencing severe side effects at higher concentrations, while others did not. Conclusion Preliminary findings suggested that monitoring blood sotorasib levels may aid in anticipating adverse events in this small cohort. However, future studies with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods are required to validate these initial observations. Such studies could potentially offer insights into personalized dosing strategies, thereby mitigating adverse effects and enhance patient care for individuals with KRAS p.G12C-positive NSCLC.

Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.Patients with Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and untreated CNS metastases have a worse prognosis than similar patients without KRAS mutations. Adagrasib has previously demonstrated CNS penetration preclinically and cerebral spinal fluid penetration clinically. We evaluated adagrasib in patients with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC and untreated CNS metastases from the KRYSTAL-1 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03785249; phase Ib cohort), in which adagrasib 600 mg was administered orally, twice daily. Study outcomes included the safety and clinical activity (intracranial [IC] and systemic) by blinded independent central review. Twenty-five patients with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC and untreated CNS metastases were enrolled and evaluated (median follow-up, 13.7 months); 19 patients were radiographically evaluable for IC activity. Safety was consistent with previous reports of adagrasib, with grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) in 10 patients (40%) and one grade 4 (4%) and no grade 5 TRAEs. The most common CNS-specific TRAEs included dysgeusia (24%) and dizziness (20%). Adagrasib demonstrated an IC objective response rate of 42%, disease control rate of 90%, progression-free survival of 5.4 months, and median overall survival of 11.4 months. Adagrasib is the first KRASG12C inhibitor to prospectively demonstrate IC activity in patients with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC and untreated CNS metastases, supporting further investigation in this population.

Abstract
KRAS is the most commonly mutated oncogene in advanced, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Western countries. Of the various KRAS mutants, KRAS G12C is the most common variant (~40%), representing 10-13% of advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Recent regulatory approvals of the KRASG12C-selective inhibitors sotorasib and adagrasib for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring KRASG12C have transformed KRAS into a druggable target. In this review, we explore the evolving role of KRAS from a prognostic to a predictive biomarker in advanced NSCLC, discussing KRAS G12C biology, real-world prevalence, clinical relevance of co-mutations, and approaches to molecular testing. Real-world evidence demonstrates significant geographic differences in KRAS G12C prevalence (8.9-19.5% in the US, 9.3-18.4% in Europe, 6.9-9.0% in Latin America, and 1.4-4.3% in Asia) in advanced NSCLC. Additionally, the body of clinical data pertaining to KRAS G12C co-mutations such as STK11, KEAP1, and TP53 is increasing. In real-world evidence, KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC was associated with STK11, KEAP1, and TP53 co-mutations in 10.3-28.0%, 6.3-23.0%, and 17.8-50.0% of patients, respectively. Whilst sotorasib and adagrasib are currently approved for use in the second-line setting and beyond for patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC, testing and reporting of the KRAS G12C variant should be included in routine biomarker testing prior to first-line therapy. KRAS G12C test results should be clearly documented in patients' health records for actionability at progression. Where available, next-generation sequencing is recommended to facilitate simultaneous testing of potentially actionable biomarkers in a single run to conserve tissue. Results from molecular testing should inform clinical decisions in treating patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
KRAS G12C mutation (mKRAS G12C) is the most frequent KRAS point mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has been proven to be a predictive biomarker for direct KRAS G12C inhibitors in advanced solid cancers. We sought to determine the prognostic significance of mKRAS G12C in patients with NSCLC using the meta-analytic approach. A protocol is registered at the International Prospective Register for systematic reviews (CRD42022345868). PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov.in were searched for prospective or retrospective studies reporting survival data for tumors with mKRAS G12C compared with either other KRAS mutations or wild-type KRAS (KRAS-WT). The hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) or Disease-free survival (DFS) of tumors were pooled according to fixed or random-effects models. Sixteen studies enrolling 10,153 participants were included in the final analysis. mKRAS G12C tumors had poor OS [HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.10-1.84, p = 0.007] but similar DFS [HR 2.36, 95% CI 0.64-8.16] compared to KRAS-WT tumors. Compared to other KRAS mutations, mKRAS G12C tumors had poor DFS [HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.07-2.09, p < 0.0001] but similar OS [HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.84-1.26]. Compared to other KRAS mutations, high PD-L1 expression (>50%) [OR 1.37 95% CI 1.11-1.70, p = 0.004] was associated with mKRAS G12C tumors. mKRAS G12C is a promising prognostic factor for patients with NSCLC, negatively impacting survival. Prevailing significant heterogeneity and selection bias might reduce the validity of these findings. Concomitant high PD-L1 expression in these tumors opens doors for exciting therapeutic potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel KRAS-targeting agents, sotorasib and adagrasib, in treating KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). DATA SOURCES A comprehensive English-based literature search of PubMed and Clinicaltrials.gov between January 2000 and July 2023 was conducted using the terms sotorasib, Lumakras, AMG 510, adagrasib, Krazati, and MRTX849. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Relevant prescribing information, clinical trials, and treatment guidelines were evaluated. DATA SYNTHESIS Sotorasib and adagrasib received accelerated US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval following pivotal phase I/II clinical trials. Sotorasib, a first-in-class KRAS inhibitor, demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 41% and a progression-free survival (PFS) of 6.3 months. In a phase III confirmatory trial, sotorasib showed significantly longer PFS compared with docetaxel (5.6 vs. 4.5 months; P = 0.0017). Adagrasib produced an ORR of 42.9% and a PFS of 6.5 months. Both drugs present unique safety profiles, with common toxicities, including diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and hepatotoxicity. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE With KRAS mutations being among the most common oncogenic alterations in NSCLC, sotorasib and adagrasib offer new therapeutic avenues for this previously "undruggable" target. Current treatment guidelines list sotorasib and adagrasib as second-line options in patients with confirmed KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. Additional studies are required to further differentiate the safety and efficacy profiles of these 2 agents and identify their optimal place in therapy. CONCLUSION Sotorasib and adagrasib demonstrated promising outcomes in targeting the constitutively active KRAS G12C oncogenic driver, underscoring the need for further research to optimize their therapeutic application in this high-risk population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although the recent development of direct KRASG12C inhibitors (G12Ci) has improved outcomes in KRAS mutant cancers, responses occur only in a fraction of patients, and among responders acquired resistance invariably develops over time. Therefore, the characterization of the determinants of acquired resistance is crucial to inform treatment strategies and to identify novel therapeutic vulnerabilities that can be exploited for drug development. RECENT FINDINGS Mechanisms of acquired resistance to G12Ci are heterogenous including both on-target and off-target resistance. On-target acquired resistance includes secondary codon 12 KRAS mutations, but also acquired codon 13 and codon 61 alterations, and mutations at drug binding sites. Off-target acquired resistance can derive from activating mutations in KRAS downstream pathway (e.g., MEK1), acquired oncogenic fusions (EML4-ALK, CCDC176-RET), gene level copy gain (e.g., MET amplification), or oncogenic alterations in other pro-proliferative and antiapoptotic pathways (e.g., FGFR3, PTEN, NRAS). In a fraction of patients, histologic transformation can also contribute to the development of acquire resistance. We provided a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms that limit the efficacy of this G12i and reviewed potential strategies to overcome and possibly delay the development of resistance in patients receiving KRAS directed targeted therapies.

Abstract
Introduction With the approval of G12C inhibitors as the second line of treatment for KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, and the expanding research regarding targeting KRAS, it is key to understand the prognostic implication of KRAS G12C in the current first line of treatment. We compared overall survival (OS) of patients with stage IV KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC to those with a KRAS non-G12C mutation in a first-line setting of (chemo)immunotherapy. Methods This nationwide population-based study used real-world data from The Netherlands Cancer Registry. We selected patients with stage IV KRAS-mutated lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed in 2019 to 2020 who received first-line (chemo-)immunotherapy. Primary outcome was OS. Results From 28,120 registered patients with lung cancer, 1185 were selected with a KRAS mutation, of which 494 had a KRAS G12C mutation. Median OS was 15.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13.6-18.4) for KRAS G12C versus 14.0 months (95% CI:11.2-15.7) for KRAS non-G12C (p = 0.67). In multivariable analysis, KRAS subtype was not associated with OS (hazard ratio = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.82-1.10). For the subgroup with programmed death-ligand 1 at 0% to 49% who received chemoimmunotherapy, median OS was 13.3 months (95% CI: 10.5-15.2) for G12C and 9.8 months (95% CI: 8.6-11.3) for non-G12C (p = 0.48). For the subgroup with programmed death-ligand 1 more than or equal to 50% who received monoimmunotherapy, the median OS was 22.0 months (95% CI: 18.4-27.3) for G12C and 18.9 months (95% CI: 14.9-25.2) for non-G12C (p = 0.36). Conclusions There was no influence of KRAS subtype (G12C versus non-G12C) on OS in patients with KRAS-mutated stage IV NSCLC treated with first-line (chemo)immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Real-world data on demographics related to KRAS mutation subtypes are crucial as targeted drugs against the p.G12C variant have been approved. METHOD We identified 6183 NSCLC patients with reported NGS-based KRAS status in the Swedish national lung cancer registry between 2016 and 2019. Following exclusion of other targetable drivers, three cohorts were studied: KRAS-G12C (n = 848), KRAS-other (n = 1161), and driver negative KRAS-wild-type (wt) (n = 3349). RESULTS The prevalence of KRAS mutations and the p.G12C variant respectively was 38%/16% in adenocarcinoma, 28%/13% in NSCLC-NOS and 6%/2% in squamous cell carcinoma. Women were enriched in the KRAS-G12C (65%) and KRAS-other (59%) cohorts versus KRAS-wt (48%). A high proportion of KRAS-G12C patients in stage IV (28%) presented with CNS metastasis (vs. KRAS-other [19%] and KRAS-wt [18%]). No difference in survival between the mutation cohorts was seen in stage I-IIIA. In stage IV, median overall survival (mOS) from date of diagnosis was shorter for KRAS-G12C and KRAS-other (5.8 months/5.2 months) vs. KRAS wt (6.4 months). Women had better outcome in the stage IV cohorts, except in KRAS-G12C subgroup where mOS was similar between men and women. Notably, CNS metastasis did not impact survival in stage IV KRAS-G12C, but was associated with poorer survival, as expected, in KRAS-other and KRAS-wt. CONCLUSION The KRAS p.G12C variant is a prevalent targetable driver in Sweden and significantly associated with female sex and presence of CNS metastasis. We show novel survival effects linked to KRAS p.G12C mutations in these subgroups with implications for clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few data is available on whether brain metastases (BM) influence survival in patients with stage IV KRAS G12C mutated (KRAS G12C+ ) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) +/- chemotherapy ([chemo]-ICI). METHODS Data was retrospectively collected from the population-based Netherlands Cancer Registry. The cumulative incidence of intracranial progression, overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) was determined for patients with KRAS G12C+ stage IV NSCLC diagnosed January 1 - June 30, 2019, treated with first-line (chemo)-ICI. OS and PFS were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and BM+ and BM- groups were compared using log-rank tests. RESULTS Of 2489 patients with stage IV NSCLC, 153 patients had KRAS G12C+ and received first-line (chemo)-ICI. Of those patients, 35% (54/153) underwent brain imaging (CT and/or MRI), of which 85% (46/54) MRI. Half of the patients with brain imaging (56%; 30/54) had BM, concerning one-fifth (20%; 30/153) of all patients, of which 67% was symptomatic. Compared to BM-, patients with BM+ were younger and had more organs affected with metastasis. Around one-third (30%) of patients with BM+ had ≥5 BM at diagnosis. Three quarters of patients with BM+ received cranial radiotherapy prior to start of (chemo)-ICI. The 1-year cumulative incidence of intracranial progression was 33% for patients with known baseline BM and 7% for those without (p = 0.0001). Median PFS was 6.6 (95% CI 3.0-15.9) and 6.7 (95% CI 5.1-8.5) months for BM+ and BM- (p = 0.80), respectively. Median OS was 15.7 (95% CI 6.2-27.3) and 17.8 (95% CI 13.4-22.0) months for BM+ and BM- (p = 0.77), respectively. CONCLUSION Baseline BM are common in patients with metastatic KRAS G12C+ NSCLC. During (chemo)-ICI treatment, intracranial progression was more frequent in patients with known baseline BM, justifying regular imaging during treatment. In our study, presence of known baseline BM did not influence OS or PFS.

Abstract
The Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) co-mutations are associated with the diverse phenotypic and heterogeneous oncogenic subtypes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Due to extensive mixed evidence, there needs to be a review of the recent KRAS and STK11 mutation literature to better understand the potential clinical applications of these genomic biomarkers in the current treatment landscape. This critical review highlights the clinical studies that have elucidated the potential prognostic and predictive implications of KRAS mutations, STK11 mutations, or KRAS/STK11 co-mutations when treating metastatic NSCLC across various types of treatments (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors [ICIs]). Overall, KRAS mutations are associated with poor prognoses and have been determined to be a valid but weak prognostic biomarker among patients diagnosed with NSCLC. KRAS mutations in NSCLC have shown mixed results as a predictive clinical biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Overall, the studies in this review demonstrate that STK11 mutations are prognostic and show mixed results as predictive biomarkers for ICI therapy. However, KRAS/STK11 co-mutations may predict primary resistance to ICI. Prospective KRAS/STK11-biomarker-driven randomized trials are needed to assess the predictive effect of various treatments on the outcomes for patients with metastatic NSCLC, as the majority of the published KRAS analyses are retrospective and hypothesis-generating in nature.

Abstract
KRAS G12C mutations are found in about 12-13% of LUAD samples and it is unclear whether they are associated with worse survival outcomes in resected, stage I LUAD. We assessed whether KRAS-G12C mutated tumours had worse DFS when compared to KRAS-nonG12C mutated tumours and to KRAS wild-type tumours in a cohort of resected, stage I LUAD (IRE cohort). We then leveraged on publicly available datasets (TCGA-LUAD, MSK-LUAD604) to further test the hypothesis in external cohorts. In the stage I IRE cohort we found a significant association between the KRAS-G12C mutation and worse DFS in multivariable analysis (HR: 2.47). In the TCGA-LUAD stage I cohort we did not find statistically significant associations between the KRAS-G12C mutation and DFS. In the MSK-LUAD604 stage I cohort we found that KRAS-G12C mutated tumours had worse RFS when compared to KRAS-nonG12C mutated tumours in univariable analysis (HR 3.5). In the pooled stage I cohort we found that KRAS-G12C mutated tumours had worse DFS when compared to KRAS-nonG12C mutated tumours (HR 2.6), to KRAS wild-type tumours (HR 1.6) and to any other tumours (HR 1.8); in multivariable analysis, the KRAS-G12C mutation was associated with worse DFS (HR 1.61). Our results suggest that patients with resected, stage I LUAD with a KRAS-G12C mutation may have inferior survival outcomes..

Abstract
BACKGROUND On May 28, 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to sotorasib for second-line or later treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This was the first FDA-approved targeted therapy for this patient population. Due to a paucity of real world data describing clinical outcomes in patients with locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC in the second-line or later, we sought to compile a large, academic medical center-based historical dataset to clarify clinical outcomes in this patient population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical outcomes of 396 patients with stage IV (n = 268, 68%) or recurrent, metastatic (n = 128, 32%) KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC were evaluated in this multicenter retrospective chart review conducted through the Academic Thoracic Oncology Medical Investigator's Consortium (ATOMIC). Patients treated at 13 sites in the United States and Canada and diagnosed between 2006 and 2020 (30% 2006-2015, 70% 2016-2020) were included. Primary outcomes included real-world PFS (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) from time of stage IV or metastatic diagnosis, with particular interest in patients treated with second-line docetaxel-containing regimens, as well as clinical outcomes in the known presence or absence of STK11 or KEAP1 comutations. RESULTS Among all patients with stage IV or recurrent, metastatic KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC (n = 201 with KRAS G12C confirmed prior to first line systemic therapy), the median first-line rwPFS was 9.3 months (95% CI, 7.3-11.8 months) and median OS was 16.8 months (95% CI, 12.7-22.3 months). In this historical dataset, first line systemic therapy among these 201 patients included platinum doublet alone (44%), PD-(L)1 inhibitor monotherapy (30%), platinum doublet chemotherapy plus PD-(L)1 inhibitor (18%), and other regimens (8%). Among patients with documented second-line systemic therapy (n = 123), the second-line median rwPFS was 8.3 months (95% CI, 6.1-11.9 months), with median rwPFS 4.6 months (95% CI, 1.4-NA) among 10 docetaxel-treated patients (9 received docetaxel and 1 received docetaxel plus ramucirumab). Within the total study population, 49 patients (12%) had a co-occurring STK11 mutation and 3 (1%) had a co-occurring KEAP1 mutation. Among the 49 patients with a co-occurring KRAS G12C and STK11 mutation, median rwPFS on first-line systemic therapy (n = 23) was 6.0 months (95% CI, 4.7-NA), and median OS was 14.0 months (95% CI, 10.8-35.3 months). CONCLUSION In this large, multicenter retrospective chart review of patients with KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC we observed a relatively short median rwPFS of 4.6 months among 10 patients with KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC treated with docetaxel with or without ramucirumab in the second-line setting, which aligns with the recently reported CodeBreak 200 dataset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KRAS mutations occur frequently in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC); the G12C mutation is the most prevalent. Alterations in STK11 or KEAP1 commonly co-occur with KRAS mutations in aNSCLC. Using real-world data, we assessed the effect of KRAS G12C mutation with or without STK11 and/or KEAP1 mutations on overall survival (OS) in patients with aNSCLC receiving cancer immunotherapy (CIT), chemotherapy, or both in first line (1L) and second line (2L). METHODS Patients diagnosed with aNSCLC between January 2011 and March 2020 in a clinico-genomic database were included. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for left truncation, baseline demographics and clinical characteristics were used to analyze the effect of STK11 and/or KEAP1 co-mutational status on OS in patients with KRAS wild-type (WT) or G12C mutation. RESULTS Of 2715 patients with aNSCLC without other actionable driver mutations, 1344 (49.5%) had KRAS WT cancer, and 454 (16.7%) had KRAS G12C-positive cancer. At 1L treatment start, significantly more patients with KRAS G12C-positive cancer were female, smokers, and had non-squamous histology, a higher prevalence of metastasis and programmed death-ligand 1 positivity than those with KRAS WT cancer. Median OS was comparable between patients with KRAS G12C-positive and KRAS WT cancer when receiving chemotherapy or combination CIT and chemotherapy in the 1L or 2L. Median OS was numerically longer in patients with KRAS G12C vs KRAS WT cancer treated with 1L CIT (30.2 vs 10.6 months, respectively) or 2L CIT (11.3 vs 7.6 months, respectively). Co-mutation of STK11 and KEAP1 was associated with significantly shorter OS in patients receiving any type of 1L therapy, regardless of KRAS G12C mutational status. CONCLUSIONS This real-world study showed that patients with KRAS G12C-positive or KRAS WT cancer have similar OS in the 1L or 2L when treated with chemotherapy or combination CIT and chemotherapy. In contrast to aNSCLC patients with EGFR or ALK driver mutations, patients with KRAS G12C-positive cancer may benefit from CIT monotherapy. Co-mutation of STK11 and KEAP1 was associated with significantly shorter survival, independent of KRAS G12C mutational status, reflecting the poor prognosis and high unmet need in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to characterize the advanced NSCLC population in terms of KRAS G12C prevalence, patient characteristics, and survival outcomes after the introduction of immunotherapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified adult patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2021 using the Danish health registries. Patients were grouped by mutational status (any KRAS mutation, KRAS G12C, and KRAS/EGFR/ALK wildtype [Triple WT]). We analyzed KRAS G12C prevalence, patient and tumor characteristics, treatment history, time-to-next-treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS We identified 7,440 patients of whom 40% (n = 2,969) were KRAS tested prior to the first line of therapy (LOT1). Among the KRAS tested, 11% (n = 328) harbored KRAS G12C. More KRAS G12C patients were women (67%), smokers (86%), had a high (≥50%) level of PD-L1 expression (54%), and more frequently received anti-PD-L1 treatment than any other group. From the date of the mutational test result, OS (7.1-7.3 months) was similar between the groups. OS from LOT1 (14.0 months) and LOT2 (10.8 months), and TTNT from LOT1 (6.9 months) and LOT2 (6.3 months) was numerically longer for the KRAS G12C mutated group compared to any other group. However, from LOT1 and LOT2, the OS and TTNT were comparable when stratifying the groups by PD-L1 expression level. Regardless of the mutational group, OS was markedly longer for patients with high PD-L1 expression. CONCLUSION In patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC after the implementation of anti-PD-1/L1 therapies, the survival in KRAS G12C mutated patients is comparable to patients with any KRAS mutation, Triple WT, and all NSCLC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding prognosis, especially long-term outcome, in advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is crucial to inform patients, guide treatment and plan supportive and palliative care. METHODS Prognostic factors influencing overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in 2082 patients with wild-type (WT)-NSCLC (629 M1a, 249 M1b, 1204 M1c) are reported. Patients were included in the prospective German CRISP registry recruiting in >150 centres. Analysis for pre-therapeutic factors was based on results from Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS Current M-descriptors of the Union for International Cancer Control-8 staging system were validated: M1a and M1b patients had significantly longer median time to events compared to M1c (OS/PFS 16.4/7.2 months, 17.8/6.7 months and 10.9/5.4 months, respectively). OS and PFS were influenced by number and location of metastatic organ systems. M1c and four or more metastatic organs involved had shorter OS and PFS than M1c with one to three organs (OS hazard ratio (HR) 1.69, p<0.001; PFS HR 1.81, p<0.001). M1b-liver metastases had shorter OS/PFS than M1b involving other organs (OS HR 2.70, p=0.006; PFS HR 2.48, p=0.007). Based on number of involved organs (orgsys) and liver metastases, two risk groups (low-risk: M1a, M1b-non-liver, M1c-1-3-orgsys-non-liver; high-risk: M1c-liver, M1b-liver, M1c-4+-orgsys) with significantly different prognoses could be amalgamated (median OS/PFS 14.3/6.5 months and 7.7/4.1 months, respectively). Other favourable factors were female gender and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group stage 0, with age showing no impact. Those with T1- or N0-status were associated with longer OS than T2-4 or N2-3. CONCLUSION In this large observational dataset, we further defined factors for outcome in WT-NSCLC, including increased number of involved metastatic organ systems and liver metastases, as those with overall poorer prognosis and reduced survival chance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION KRAS G12C is an oncogenic driver mutation, accounting for approximately 14% of Caucasian patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recently, several KRAS G12C-targeted drugs have been developed; however, the clinico-genomic characteristics of NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on the large-scale prospective lung cancer genomic screening project (LC-SCRUM-Asia) database, the clinico-genomic characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C were evaluated. RESULTS From March 2015 to March 2021, 10,023 NSCLC patients were enrolled in LC-SCRUM-Asia. KRAS mutations were detected in 1258 patients (14 %), including G12C in 376 (4.0 %), G12D in 289 (3.1 %) and G12V in 251 (2.7 %). The proportions of males and smokers were higher in patients with KRAS G12C than in those with KRAS non-G12C mutations (males: 73 % vs 63 %, p < 0.001; smokers: 89 % vs 76 %, p < 0.001). KRAS G12C-positive tumors showed a higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) (mean, 8.1 mut/Mb, p < 0.001) and a higher percentage of tumors with programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression ≥50 % (52 %, p = 0.08). The overall survival in patients with KRAS G12C (median, 24.6 months) was not different between patients with other mutation subtypes (G12V: 18.2 months, p = 0.23; G12D: 20.6 months, p = 0.65; other KRAS mutations: 18.3 months, p = 0.20). Among KRAS-mutated patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the progression-free survival in G12C-positive patients (median, 3.4 months) was similar to that in G12V-positive patients (4.2 months, p = 0.90), but significantly longer than that in G12D- (2.0 months, p = 0.02) and other KRAS mutation-positive patients (2.5 months, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The frequencies of KRAS G12C were lower in Asian than in Caucasian NSCLC patients. Among the KRAS-mutated NSCLC patients, G12C-positive tumors showed increased immunogenicity, such as high TMB and high PD-L1 expression, and potential sensitivity to ICIs.

Abstract
Kristen rat sarcoma (KRAS) gene is one of the most common mutated oncogenes in solid tumors. Yet, KRAS inhibitors did not follow suit with the development of targeted therapy, for the structure of KRAS has been considered as being implausible to target for decades. Chemotherapy was the initial recommended therapy for KRAS-mutant cancer patients, which was then replaced by or combined with immunotherapy. KRAS G12C inhibitors became the most recent breakthrough in targeted therapy, with Sotorasib being approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on its significant efficacy in multiple clinical studies. However, the subtypes of the KRAS mutations are complex, and the development of inhibitors targeting non-G12C subtypes is still at a relatively early stage. In addition, the monotherapy of KRAS inhibitors has accumulated possible resistance, acquiring the exploration of combination therapies or next-generation KRAS inhibitors. Thus, other non-target, conventional therapies have also been considered as being promising. Here in this review, we went through the characteristics of KRAS mutations in cancer patients, and the prognostic effect that it poses on different therapies and advanced therapeutic strategy, as well as cutting-edge research on the mechanisms of drug resistance, tumor development, and the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Targeting Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS) has been deemed impossible for long time, but new drugs have recently demonstrated promising results. Evidence on the outcome of KRAS-mutant advanced-NSCLC treated with new standard regimens are still scarce. Thus, we aimed at assessing the incidence and clinical impact of KRAS mutations in a real-life population of advanced-NSCLC, exploring the prognostic significance of distinct alterations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present multicenter retrospective study, conducted by 5 Italian Centers from January 2018 to February 2020, involved 297 advanced KRAS mutant NSCLC. Complete clinico-pathological data were evaluated. RESULTS Out of 297 patients, 130 carried KRAS_G12C mutation, while 167 presented with mutations other than G12C. Within KRAS_non-G12C group, 73%, 16.8% and 8.9% harboured G12X, codon 13 and Q61H alterations, respectively. No significant differences in survival outcome and treatment response were documented according to KRAS_G12C versus non-G12C, nor KRAS_G12C versus G12X versus other mutations. On univariate analysis ECOG PS, number and sites of metastatic lesions and PD-L1 status significantly impacted on survival. A clear trend towards worse prognosis was apparent in chemotherapy-treated patients, while immunotherapy-based regimens were associated to prolonged survival. Investigating the outcome of PD-L1 ≥ 50% population, we did not detect any significant difference between KRAS_G12C and non-G12C subsets. CONCLUSION Here, we report on real-life data from a large retrospective cohort of advanced NSCLC harbouring KRAS alterations, with particular attention to G12C mutation. Our study offers useful clues on survival outcome, therapeutic response and clinico-pathological correlations in KRAS-mutant setting, especially in the upcoming era of KRAS G12C targeting therapy.

Abstract
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the most common alterations are identified in the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) gene, accounting for approximately 30% of cases in Caucasian patients. The majority of mutations are located in exon 2, with the c.34G > T (p.G12C) change being the most prevalent. The clinical relevance of KRAS mutations in NSCLC was not recognized until a few years ago. What is now emerging is a dual key role played by KRAS mutations in the management of NSCLC patients. First, recent data report that KRAS-mutant lung AC patients generally have poorer overall survival (OS). Second, a KRAS inhibitor specifically targeting the c.34G > T (p.G12C) variant, Sotorasib, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and by the European Medicines Agency. Another KRAS inhibitor targeting c.34G > T (p.G12C), Adagrasib, is currently being reviewed by the FDA for accelerated approval. From the description of the biology of KRAS-mutant NSCLC, the present review will focus on the clinical aspects of KRAS mutations in NSCLC, in particular on the emerging efficacy data of Sotorasib and other KRAS inhibitors, including mechanisms of resistance. Finally, the interaction between KRAS mutations and immune checkpoint inhibitors will be discussed.

Abstract
Hintergrund Register sind strukturierte Datensammlungen einer definierten Gruppe von Patienten. Registerdaten aus der Routineversorgung können zur Beantwortung zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher und praxisrelevanter Fragestellungen herangezogen werden. Ziel der Arbeit Ziel der vorliegenden Übersichtsarbeit ist ein Einblick in Anwendungsbereiche von Registerdaten. Material und Methoden Drei zentrale Anwendungsbereiche werden beispielhaft erläutert basierend auf einer explorativen Literaturrecherche. Ergebnisse Registerdaten schaffen Transparenz, indem sie Aufschluss über die Routineversorgung (z. B. die Anwendungen und Wirksamkeit von Therapien unter Alltagsbedingungen) geben und dienen somit der Qualitätssicherung. Sie ermöglichen Aussagen zu Patienten, die an randomisierten klinischen Prüfungen, dem Standard in der klinischen Arzneimittelforschung, nicht teilnehmen können (z. B. ältere Patienten mit Begleiterkrankungen). Sie ermöglichen die Langzeitbeobachtung von Erkrankungsverläufen und das Identifizieren von seltenen Nebenwirkungen. Des Weiteren können Registerdaten zur Versorgungsforschung, v. a. zur Hypothesengenerierung genutzt werden. So können Fragen zur optimalen Therapie bestimmter Patientengruppen, zur Wirksamkeit von Therapien, für die es keine vergleichenden Daten aus klinischen Prüfungen gibt oder auch zu Risikoprofilen von Patienten untersucht werden. Ein neueres Anwendungsgebiet ist außerdem die Verwendung von Registerdaten im Rahmen der Zulassung und Nutzenbewertung von Arzneimitteln. Schlussfolgerung Viele Fragen rund um die optimale Versorgung von Patienten können mit randomisierten kontrollierten Prüfungen allein nicht beantwortet werden. Qualitätsgesicherte Daten aus prospektiven Registern können diese Lücke schließen.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with KRAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with brain metastases (BM) have a poor prognosis. Adagrasib (MRTX849), a potent oral small-molecule KRASG12C inhibitor, irreversibly and selectively binds KRASG12C, locking it in its inactive state. Adagrasib has been optimized for favorable pharmacokinetic properties, including long half-life (∼24 hours), extensive tissue distribution, dose-dependent pharmacokinetics, and central nervous system penetration; however, BM-specific antitumor activity of KRASG12C inhibitors remains to be fully characterized. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A retrospective database query identified patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC to understand their propensity to develop BM. Preclinical studies assessed physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of adagrasib. Mice bearing intracranial KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC xenografts (LU99-Luc/H23-Luc/LU65-Luc) were treated with clinically relevant adagrasib doses, and levels of adagrasib in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and brain were determined along with antitumor activity. Preliminary clinical data were collected from 2 patients with NSCLC with untreated BM who had received adagrasib 600 mg twice daily in the phase Ib cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 trial; CSF was collected, adagrasib concentrations measured, and antitumor activity in BM evaluated. RESULTS Patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC demonstrated high propensity to develop BM (≥40%). Adagrasib penetrated into CSF and demonstrated tumor regression and extended survival in multiple preclinical BM models. In 2 patients with NSCLC and untreated BM, CSF concentrations of adagrasib measured above the target cellular IC50. Both patients demonstrated corresponding BM regression, supporting potential clinical activity of adagrasib in the brain. CONCLUSIONS These data support further development of adagrasib in patients with KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC with untreated BM. See related commentary by Kommalapati and Mansfield, p. 3179.

Abstract
About 15% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbor the Kirsten rat sarcoma homolog G12C mutation (KRASG12C). Selective KRASG12C inhibitors offer new treatment opportunities, but little is known about the prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes of standard-of-care treatment (SOC) in this population. We retrospectively assessed the clinicopathological features of patients with KRASG12C-mutated advanced NSCLC and responses to SOC at two high-volume centers in Austria. Out of 2495 NSCLC patients tested, we identified 174 patients with advanced-stage disease carrying a KRASG12C mutation. Most patients were ≥65 years old (55%), heavy smokers (55%), and presented with comorbidities. The most frequent co-alteration was TP53 (18%). PD-L1 expression was high (TPS ≥ 50%) in 31%, very high (TPS ≥ 90%) in 11%, and negative in 31% of patients. A total of 138 patients (79%) received oncologic systemic treatment. The most common first-line therapy (1 L) was anti-PD-1/PD-L1 plus platinum-based chemotherapy. Median overall survival measured from 1 L treatment was 15.3 months (95% CI, 8.6–21.9), 9.4 (95% CI, 5.3–13.5) from 2 L treatment, and 8.4 (95% CI, 1.7–15.1) from 3 L treatment. The time-to-next-treatment was 8.4 (95% CI, 5.2–11.6) from 1 L and 6.1 (95% CI, 2.7–9.7) months from 2 L to 3 L. These poor outcomes underscore the need for the implementation of new treatment options and for specific molecular testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adagrasib, a KRASG12C inhibitor, irreversibly and selectively binds KRASG12C, locking it in its inactive state. Adagrasib showed clinical activity and had an acceptable adverse-event profile in the phase 1-1b part of the KRYSTAL-1 phase 1-2 study. METHODS In a registrational phase 2 cohort, we evaluated adagrasib (600 mg orally twice daily) in patients with KRASG12C -mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-programmed death 1 or programmed death ligand 1 therapy. The primary end point was objective response assessed by blinded independent central review. Secondary end points included the duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. RESULTS As of October 15, 2021, a total of 116 patients with KRASG12C -mutated NSCLC had been treated (median follow-up, 12.9 months); 98.3% had previously received both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Of 112 patients with measurable disease at baseline, 48 (42.9%) had a confirmed objective response. The median duration of response was 8.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.2 to 13.8), and the median progression-free survival was 6.5 months (95% CI, 4.7 to 8.4). As of January 15, 2022 (median follow-up, 15.6 months), the median overall survival was 12.6 months (95% CI, 9.2 to 19.2). Among 33 patients with previously treated, stable central nervous system metastases, the intracranial confirmed objective response rate was 33.3% (95% CI, 18.0 to 51.8). Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 97.4% of the patients - grade 1 or 2 in 52.6% and grade 3 or higher in 44.8% (including two grade 5 events) - and resulted in drug discontinuation in 6.9% of patients. CONCLUSIONS In patients with previously treated KRASG12C -mutated NSCLC, adagrasib showed clinical efficacy without new safety signals.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to identify new predictive biomarkers for treatment response to both platinum doublet chemotherapy (PT) and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here, we evaluated whether treatment outcome could be affected by KRAS mutational status in patients with metastatic (Stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). All consecutive patients molecularly assessed and diagnosed between 2016−2018 with Stage IV NSCLC in the region of West Sweden were included in this multi-center retrospective study. The primary study outcome was overall survival (OS). Out of 580 Stage IV NSCLC patients, 35.5% harbored an activating mutation in the KRAS gene (KRASMUT). Compared to KRAS wild-type (KRASWT), KRASMUT was a negative factor for OS (p = 0.014). On multivariate analysis, KRASMUT persisted as a negative factor for OS (HR 1.478, 95% CI 1.207−1.709, p < 0.001). When treated with first-line platinum doublet (n = 195), KRASMUT was a negative factor for survival (p = 0.018), with median OS of 9 months vs. KRASWT at 11 months. On multivariate analysis, KRASMUT persisted as a negative factor for OS (HR 1.564, 95% CI 1.124−2.177, p = 0.008). KRASMUT patients with high PD-L1 expression (PD-L1high) had better OS than PD-L1highKRASWT patients (p = 0.036). In response to first-line ICB, KRASMUT patients had a significantly (p = 0.006) better outcome than KRASWT patients, with a median OS of 23 vs. 6 months. On multivariable Cox analysis, KRASMUT status was an independent prognostic factor for better OS (HR 0.349, 95% CI 0.148−0.822, p = 0.016). kRAS mutations are associated with better response to treatment with immune checkpoint blockade and worse response to platinum doublet chemotherapy as well as shorter general OS in Stage IV NSCLC.

Abstract
Simple Summary RAS mutation is the most frequent oncogenic alteration in human cancers and KRAS is the most frequently mutated, notably in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). Various attempts to inhibit KRAS in the past were unsuccessful in these latter tumors. However, recently, several small molecules (AMG510, MRTX849, JNJ-74699157, and LY3499446) have been developed to specifically target KRAS G12C-mutated tumors, which seems promising for patient treatment and should soon be administered in daily practice for non-squamous (NS)-NSCLC. In this context, it will be mandatory to systematically assess the KRAS status in routine clinical practice, at least in advanced NS-NSCLC, leading to new challenges for thoracic oncologists. Abstract KRAS mutations are among the most frequent genomic alterations identified in non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinomas (NS-NSCLC), notably in lung adenocarcinomas. In most cases, these mutations are mutually exclusive, with different genomic alterations currently known to be sensitive to therapies targeting EGFR, ALK, BRAF, ROS1, and NTRK. Recently, several promising clinical trials targeting KRAS mutations, particularly for KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, have established new hope for better treatment of patients. In parallel, other studies have shown that NSCLC harboring co-mutations in KRAS and STK11 or KEAP1 have demonstrated primary resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Thus, the assessment of the KRAS status in advanced-stage NS-NSCLC has become essential to setting up an optimal therapeutic strategy in these patients. This stimulated the development of new algorithms for the management of NSCLC samples in pathology laboratories and conditioned reorganization of optimal health care of lung cancer patients by the thoracic pathologists. This review addresses the recent data concerning the detection of KRAS mutations in NSCLC and focuses on the new challenges facing pathologists in daily practice for KRAS status assessment.

Abstract
Although KRAS-activating mutations represent the most common oncogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), various attempts to inhibit KRAS failed in the past decade. KRAS mutations are associated with a poor prognosis and a poor response to standard therapeutic regimen. The recent development of new therapeutic agents (i.e., adagrasib, sotorasib) that target specifically KRAS G12C in its GDP-bound state has evidenced an unprecedented success in the treatment of this subgroup of patients. Despite providing pre-clinical and clinical efficacy, several mechanisms of acquired resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors have been reported. In this setting, combined therapeutic strategies including inhibition of either SHP2, SOS1 or downstream effectors of KRAS G12C seem particularly interesting to overcome acquired resistance. In this review, we will discuss the novel therapeutic strategies targeting KRAS G12C and promising approaches of combined therapy to overcome acquired resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors.

Abstract
The RASopathies are a group of disorders caused by a germline mutation in one of the genes encoding a component of the RAS/MAPK pathway. These disorders, including neurofibromatosis type 1, Noonan syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Costello syndrome and Legius syndrome, among others, have overlapping clinical features due to RAS/MAPK dysfunction. Although several of the RASopathies are very rare, collectively, these disorders are relatively common. In this Review, we discuss the pathogenesis of the RASopathy-associated genetic variants and the knowledge gained about RAS/MAPK signaling that resulted from studying RASopathies. We also describe the cell and animal models of the RASopathies and explore emerging RASopathy genes. Preclinical and clinical experiences with targeted agents as therapeutics for RASopathies are also discussed. Finally, we review how the recently developed drugs targeting RAS/MAPK-driven malignancies, such as inhibitors of RAS activation, direct RAS inhibitors and RAS/MAPK pathway inhibitors, might be leveraged for patients with RASopathies.

Abstract
Background Targeted treatment modalities for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients are expanding rapidly and demand a constant adaptation of molecular testing strategies. In this regard, broad reflex testing via next-generation sequencing (NGS) might have several advantages. However, real-world data regarding practical feasibility and clinical relevance are scarce, especially for RNA-based NGS. Methods We performed a retrospective study comparing NGS use in two consecutive years (2019 and 2020). In 2019, reflex testing mainly consisted of DNA-based NGS for mutations and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for ALK, ROS1, and NTRK fusion products. At the beginning of 2020, our approach has changed, with DNA- and RNA-based NGS panels now being simultaneously performed. This change in protocol allowed us to retrospectively evaluate if broad molecular reflex testing brings additional value to lung cancer patients. Results Within the whole cohort (n=432), both DNA- and RNA-based NGS yielded almost always evaluable results. Only in 6 cases, the RNA content was too little for an appropriate analysis. After integrating RNA-based NGS in the reflex testing approach, the number of detected fusions increased significantly (2.6% vs. 8.2%; P=0.0021), but also more patients received targeted therapies. Furthermore, exceedingly rare alterations were more likely to be detected, including the so far undescribed EGFR-NUP160 fusion. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that a comprehensive approach to reflex NGS testing is practically feasible and clinically relevant. Including RNA-based panels in the reflex testing approach results in more detected fusions and more patients receiving targeted therapies. Additionally, this broad molecular profiling strategy identifies patients with emerging biomarkers, underscoring its usefulness in the rapidly evolving landscape of targeted therapies.

Abstract
KRAS is one of the most commonly mutated oncogenes in cancer, enabling tumor proliferation and maintenance. After various approaches to target KRAS have failed over the past decades, the first specific inhibitor of the p.G12C mutation of KRAS was recently approved by the FDA after showing promising results in adenocarcinomas of the lung and other solid tumors. Lung cancer, the most common cancer worldwide, is a promising use case for these new therapies, as adenocarcinomas in particular frequently harbor KRAS mutations. However, in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung, KRAS mutations are rare and their impact on clinical outcome is poorly understood. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the prevalence and prognostic and predictive significance of KRAS mutations in the context of SCC.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with lung adenocarcinoma not expressing TTF1 and those with a KRAS mutation have worse prognosis. However, available data are limited and sometimes contradictory. Therefore, this retrospective cohort analysis aimed to clarify whether there was a difference in overall survival and progression-free survival between these groups of patients. Methods In total, data derived from 181 patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma treated at the Martha-Maria Halle-Dölau Hospital from 2016 to 2019 were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated, and associated values, such as median survival and its confidence intervals, were determined using the log-rank test. Results A benefit in overall survival (OS) (8.4 vs 5.8 months; HR, .8; 95% CI, .53-1.19; P = .267) was associated with positive TTF1 expression, but this was not statistically significant. The same trend was shown with the progressive free survival (PFS) (6.5 vs 4.6 months; HR, .76; 95% CI, .51-1.20; P = .162). In patients with a KRAS mutation, there was no difference in OS compared to those with a wildtype KRAS. The median survival was almost identical at 7.5 months (KRAS mutation, 95% CI, 3.32-11.74) and 7.0 months (KRAS wildtype, 95% CI, 3.59-10.41). Additionally, in PFS, there was no difference between the 2 groups (5.8 vs 6.3 months). Conclusions Our analysis did not show a worse prognosis in patients with a KRAS mutation or in those with missing TTF1 expression, which is most likely related to the new therapeutic options. As a result of the administration of immunotherapy in patients with a KRAS mutation and the change from a regimen containing pemetrexed to a regimen containing no pemetrexed, the corresponding patients no longer seem to have a worse prognosis.

Abstract
Reigning of the abnormal gene activation associated with survival signalling in lung cancer leads to the anomalous growth and therapeutic failure. Targeting specific cell survival signalling like JAK2/STAT3 nexus has become a major focus of investigation to establish a target specific treatment. The 2-bromobenzoyl-4-methylphenoxy-acetyl hydra acetyl Coumarin (BP-1C), is new anti-neoplastic agent with apoptosis inducing capacity. The current study was aimed to develop antitumor phramacophore, BP-1C as JAK2 specific inhibitor against lung neoplastic progression. The study validates and identifies the molecular targets of BP-1C induced cell death. Cell based screening against multiple cancer cell lines identified, lung adenocarcinoma as its specific target through promotion of apoptosis. The BP-1C is able to induce, specific hall marks of apoptosis and there by conferring anti-neoplastic activity. Validation of its molecular mechanism, identified, BP-1C specifically targets JAK2Tyr1007/1008 phosphorylation, and inhibits its downstream STAT3Tyr705 signalling pathway to induce cell death. As a consequence, modulation in Akt/Src survival signal and altered expression of interwoven apoptotic genes were evident. The results were reproducible in an in-vivo LLC tumor model and in-ovo xenograft studies. The computational approaches viz, drug finger printing confers, BP-1C as novel class JAK2 inhibitor and molecular simulations studies assures its efficiency in binding with JAK2. Overall, BP-1C is a novel JAK2 inhibitor with experimental evidence and could be effectively developed into a promising drug for lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background KRAS is mutated in ∼30% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but it has also been identified as one of the mechanisms underlying resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in EGFR-positive NSCLC patients. Novel KRAS inhibitors targeting KRAS p.G12C mutation have been developed recently with promising results. The proportion of EGFR-positive NSCLC tumours harbouring the KRAS p.G12C mutation upon disease progression is completely unexplored. Materials and methods Plasma samples from 512 EGFR-positive advanced NSCLC patients progressing on a first first-line treatment with a TKI were collected. The presence of KRAS p.G12C mutation was assessed by digital PCR. Results Overall, KRAS p.G12C mutation was detected in 1.17% of the samples (n = 6). In two of these cases, we could confirm that the KRAS p.G12C mutation was not present in the pre-treatment plasma samples, supporting its role as an acquired resistance mutation. According to our data, KRASG12C patients showed similar clinicopathological characteristics to those of the rest of the study cohort and no statistically significant associations between any clinical features and the presence of the mutation were found. However, two out of six KRASG12C tumours harboured less common EGFR driver mutations (p.G719X/p.L861Q). All KRASG12C patients tested negative for the presence of p.T790M resistance mutation. Conclusions The KRAS p.G12C mutation is detected in 1% of EGFR-positive NSCLC patients who progress on a first line with a TKI. All KRASG12C patients were negative for the presence of the p.T790M mutation and they did not show any distinctive clinical feature. Novel KRAS G12C inhibitors provide a new therapeutic opportunity for NSCLC patients. One percent of EGFR-mutated NSCLC tumours progressing on a first-line TKI harbour the KRAS p.G12C mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND due to emerging therapeutics targeting KRAS G12C and previous reports with conflicting results regarding the prognostic impact of KRAS and KRAS G12C in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we aimed to investigate the frequency of KRAS mutations and their associations with clinical characteristics and outcome. Since mutation subtypes have different preferences for downstream pathways, we also aimed to investigate whether there were differences in outcome according to mutation preference for the Raf, PI3K/Akt, or RalGDS/Ral pathways. METHODS retrospectively, clinicopathological data from 1233 stage I-IV non-squamous NSCLC patients with known KRAS status were reviewed. KRAS' associations with clinical characteristics were analysed. Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed for the following groups: KRAS wild type (wt) versus mutated, KRAS wt versus KRAS G12C versus KRAS non-G12C, among KRAS mutation subtypes and among mutation subtypes grouped according to preference for downstream pathways. RESULTS a total of 1117 patients were included; 38% had KRAS mutated tumours, 17% had G12C. Among KRAS mutated, G12C was the most frequent mutation in former/current smokers (45%) and G12D in never smokers (46%). There were no significant differences in survival according to KRAS status, G12C status, among KRAS mutation subtypes or mutation preference for downstream pathways. CONCLUSION KRAS status or KRAS mutation subtype did not have any significant influence on PFS or OS.

Abstract
A better understanding of cancer biology has led to the development of targeted therapies specifically designed to modulate an altered molecular pathway in the cancer cells or their microenvironment. Despite the identification of molecular targets across cancer types, most of targeted therapies were developed per cancer type. In this ancestral paradigm, randomization was the gold-standard approach for market access. Randomization of large patient populations was feasible for drugs developed in common cancer types but more challenging in rare cancer types. The traditional paradigm of drug development in oncology was further challenged by the ever-expanding molecular segmentation of cancer with ever-smaller subgroups of patients who might benefit from specific targeted therapies or immunotherapies and the identification of molecular alterations against which drugs may be effective across cancer types. In this novel drug development paradigm, novel ways of evaluating the efficacy of drugs are highly needed in these small patient populations. One approach is to use each patient as his/her own control by comparing the efficacy of a drug to the efficacy of prior treatments received. This approach allows to overcome patient heterogeneity, especially in a tissue-agnostic drug development paradigm.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The KRAS p.G12C mutation, prevalent in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has only recently become a viable target. Here we present results of the largest retrospective observational study analyzing KRAS p.G12C in patients with advanced NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adults with advanced NSCLC (All Advanced NSCLC cohort) and subcohorts with different mutation profiles (KRAS p.G12C [G12C] and KRAS/EGFR/ALK wild type [Triple WT]) diagnosed January 2011 to March 2019 were selected from a US clinico-genomic database; treatment-related characteristics, molecular profiles, real-world overall (rwOS) and progression-free survival (rwPFS) were analyzed. RESULTS Demographics were similar across cohorts, with more smokers and nonsquamous cell carcinoma histology in the G12C cohort. KRAS p.G12C was nearly mutually exclusive (≤1.2 %) with known actionable driver mutations, but non-driver co-mutations were common (STK11, 21.5 %; KEAP1, 7.0 %; TP53, 48.0 %). Among G12C patients, 20 % had no documentation of receiving systemic therapy. Across treated G12C patients, 67 % received immune checkpoint inhibitors; first-line usage increased from 0% (2014) to 81 % (2019). Among G12C patients, median (95 % CI) rwOS was 12.0 (9.6-15.3), 9.5 (8.1-13.1), and 6.7 (5.9-10.7) months after first, second, and third line of therapy, respectively; median (95 % CI) rwPFS was 5.0 (4.4-5.8), 4.0 (2.8-5.3), and 3.1 (2.4-4.3) months. Outcomes for the G12C subcohort were similar to those for all patients (All Advanced NSCLC cohort). Mutations in STK11/KEAP1 were associated with poorer survival across all cohorts. CONCLUSION The poor outcomes associated with KRAS p.G12C mutated advanced NSCLC indicate an unmet need for more effective novel treatments.
