Abstract Background KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in cancer, however efforts to develop targeted therapies have been largely unsuccessful. Recently, two small-molecule inhibitors, AMG 510 and MRTX849, have shown promising activity in KRAS G12C-mutant solid tumors. The current study aims to assess the molecular profile of KRAS G12C in colorectal (CRC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tested in a clinical certified laboratory. Methods CRC and NSCLC samples submitted for KRAS testing between 2017 and 2019 were reviewed. CRC samples were tested for KRAS and NRAS by pyrosequencing, while NSCLC samples were submitted to next generation sequencing of KRAS, NRAS, EGFR, and BRAF. Results The dataset comprised 4897 CRC and 4686 NSCLC samples. Among CRC samples, KRAS was mutated in 2354 (48.1%). Most frequent codon 12 mutations were G12D in 731 samples (14.9%) and G12V in 522 (10.7%), followed by G12C in 167 (3.4%). KRAS mutations were more frequent in females than males (p = 0.003), however this difference was exclusive of non-G12C mutants (p < 0.001). KRAS mutation frequency was lower in the South and North regions (p = 0.003), but again KRAS G12C did not differ significantly (p = 0.80). In NSCLC, KRAS mutations were found in 1004 samples (21.4%). As opposed to CRC samples, G12C was the most common mutation in KRAS, in 346 cases (7.4%). The frequency of KRAS G12C was higher in the South and Southeast regions (p = 0.012), and lower in patients younger than 50 years (p < 0.001). KRAS G12C mutations were largely mutually exclusive with other driver mutations; only 11 NSCLC (3.2%) and 1 CRC (0.6%) cases had relevant co-mutations. Conclusions KRAS G12C presents in frequencies higher than several other driver mutations, and may represent a large volume of patients in absolute numbers. KRAS testing should be considered in all CRC and NSCLC patients, independently of clinical or demographic characteristics.

Abstract Background: KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in cancer, however efforts to develop targeted therapies have been largely unsuccessful. Recently, two small-molecule inhibitors, AMG 510 and MRTX849, have shown promising activity in KRAS G12C-mutant solid tumors. The current study aims to assess the molecular profile of KRAS G12C in colorectal (CRC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tested in a clinical certified laboratory.Methods: CRC and NSCLC samples submitted for KRAS testing between 2017 and 2019 were reviewed.

Results: The dataset comprised 4,897 CRC and 4,686 NSCLC samples. Among CRC samples, KRAS was mutated in 2,354 (48.1%). Most frequent codon 12 mutations were G12D in 731 samples (15.2%) and G12V in 462 (9.6%), followed by G12C in 167 (3.4%). KRAS mutations were more frequent in females than males (p=0.003), however this difference was exclusive of non-G12C mutants (p<0.001).

Chemotherapeutic Approach

Background: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in the US. The use of precision medicine in the past 10 years has significantly changed the therapeutic landscape of lung cancer. Management of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has transitioned from a chemotherapeutic approach to targeted treatments and immunotherapeutic agents. Several tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been approved for patients with targeted mutations while patients who do not have driver mutations; immunotherapy has been recently approved as frontline therapy, which has resulted in marked improvement in overall survival and added a new tool in our armamentarium. Aims: The purpose of this review is to highlight recent advancements in diagnostic approach and management strategies in patients with metastatic NSCLC. Materials and methods: Published studies included in Medline (via PubMed) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines were reviewed for data gathering. Conclusion: The use of next generation sequencing has significantly changed our understanding of molecular oncogenic mechanisms of lung cancer. These advancements have created a paradigm shift in the treatment strategies of metastatic lung cancer from primarily chemotherapeutic approach to increasing use of targeted therapies and immune check point inhibitors (ICI) leading to better survival rates and lesser toxicity.

The treatment for locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer has changed dramatically over the past several years, with consolidative immunotherapy after concurrent chemoradiation becoming the new standard of care. Five-year survival outcomes have substantially improved with this approach. Despite these advances, further improvements are needed as the majority of patients ultimately develop progression of disease. The next-generation immunotherapy trials are currently being conducted that include approaches such as concurrent immunotherapy and addition of other therapeutic agents in the concurrent and consolidative settings. Specific unmet needs continue to exist for patients who develop disease progression after concurrent chemoradiation and immunotherapy, as well as defining the best treatment for patients with driver mutations. Future directions also include refinement of radiation techniques to reduce toxicities as much as possible, as well as the use of circulating tumor DNA in the surveillance setting. The current scientific landscape shows promising approaches that may further improve outcomes for patients with locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer.

e18564 Background: In non-small cell lung cancer, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and KRAS are known as driver mutations. However the association between these gene alteration and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the gene status of EGFR and Kras in SCLC. Methods: This retrospective study included 66 SCLC patients with available tumor tissue from primary lung tumor or metastatic and clinical data including survival. We evaluated for the presence of EGFR and KRAS mutation those patients using Scorpion-ARMS method. This study was approved by IRB. Results: Sixty-six patients (52 male,14 female median age 68 range 49-89, LD/ED 34/32, PS0-1/2-3 57/9, smoker/never smoker 64/2) were evaluated. Their median overall survival (OS) were 484 days, progression-free survival (PFS) were 217 days. Sixty-six samples were evaluated EGFR mutation test and 61 were evaluated KRAS mutation test by Scorpion-ARMs methods. SCLC patients with EGFR mutation were the only one patients (1.5%,1/66). KRAS mutation were also the only one patients (1.6%,1/61). A 54 years-old nevere-smoker female was already treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor for non-small cell lung cancer, the patients with EGFR mutation had a transformation into SCLC. The KRAS mutation patient was combined SCLC with adenocarcinoma. Conclusions: This study suggested that EGFR and KRAS patients associated with SCLC is poor, these driver mutation is unnecessary for common SCLC.
