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., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: JAS reports personal fees from Boehringer Ingelheim, personal fees from AstraZeneca, personal fees from Roche, personal fees from BMS, personal fees from Amgen, personal fees from LEO pharma, personal fees from Novartis, personal fees from Takeda, outside of the submitted work.

Objectives: For refractory NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations, recent studies have demonstrated a favorable response to the combination of anti-angiogenic therapy and checkpoint inhibition but included only very few patients with uncommon EGFR mutations for which treatment options are still limited despite new targeted treatments., Materials and Methods: Sixteen stage IV NSCLC patients with uncommon EGFR mutations from 9 different German centers were treated in first or further line with Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab, Carboplatin and (nab-)Paclitaxel (ABCP). PFS was evaluated from start of ABCP and OS from time of initial diagnosis of stage IV., Results: Patients with either an Exon 20 insertion (n = 9) or other uncommon EGFR mutations (n = 7) received ABCP in first, second or further line. Nine patients had received a TKI therapy in first line with an ORR of 66.7 % and a median time-to-next-treatment of 6.7 months. After a median number of 4 ABCP cycles, 4 patients (25.0 %) required a dose reduction of chemotherapy and 5 patients (31.3 %) suffered from grade 3 or 4 toxicity. Overall response rate was 81.3 % and disease control rate 87.5 %. 14 patients (87.5 %) received a maintenance with AB and the median follow-up after initial diagnosis was 24.3 months. Median PFS was 13.6 months for both the entire cohort and for Exon 20 insertions. Corresponding median OS was either not reached or 30.7 months. Landmark analysis at 12 months gave a PFS of 42.8 % and an OS of 93.3 %. Four patients were rechallenged with ABCP while progressing under maintenance and responded again. In further line therapy, clinical benefit was achieved in all of 3 patients receiving Amivantamab, but in only one of four patients receiving mobocertinib., Conclusion: In this retrospective analysis, ABCP achieves an encouraging outcome for patients with uncommon EGFR mutations and is a valuable option in the early treatment course., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: AT, ND, ID, PH, TO, CW and MR have received honoraria or travel expenses from Roche/Genentech.
