Abstract

BackgroundKRAS GA are common oncogenic drivers. Effective systemic treatment of KRAS altered cancers has been largely elusive; however covalent inhibitors of G12C (AMG510, MRTX849) and SHP2 inhibitors (TNO155, RMC-4630) have recently entered the clinic in multiple tumor types. MethodsHybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on tumor samples from 213,312 unique patients with solid or hematological malignancies. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 0.8-1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA. PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC (22C3 or SP142 antibodies) for 17% of cases. ResultsKRAS GA were detected in 22% (n=46,182) of cases: 88% mutations (m; >99% substitutions and <0.2% indels), 8.3% amplification (a) and 3.8% both. KRASm were most common in pancreatic (83%, 8,063/9,723) gastrointestinal (GI; 39%, 13,507/35,019) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD; 35%, 9,159/25,968). KRASa (median 10 copies, range 6-421) was most common in esophageal adenocarcinomas (17%, 673/3,920) and testicular germ cell tumors (25%, 46/185). Co-KRASm+a was most common in pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC; 7.4%, 26/353). Median TMB was 3.5, 6.1, and 4.3 mut/Mb in cases with KRASm, KRASa, or KRASm+a. 124 unique KRASm were identified, most commonly G12D/V/C and G13D (26%, 21%, 14%, 6.9% of KRAS GA). G12D resulted from transitions (primarily G>A), and G12V (primarily G>T) and G12C (exclusively G>T) from transversions. G12C was most frequent in LUAD (14%, 3,613/25,968) and PSC (11%, 40/353) but uncommon in pancreatic (1.7%, 161/9,723) and GI (2.7%, 941/35,019) where G12D/V were most common. Tobacco signature (TS; 20% vs 4.5% vs 3.5%), elevated TMB (median 7.0 vs 3.5 vs 3.5 mut/Mb) and PD-L1 positivity (56% vs 29% vs 31%) were all significantly associated with G12C vs non-G12C KRASm and non-KRASm cancers (all p<0.0001). In LUAD, TS was present in 25% G12C, 19% non-G12C KRASm and 15% non-KRASm (all p<0.0001). ConclusionsDiverse KRAS GA are frequent across cancers and subtypes are associated with different solid malignancies. G12C is most common in LUAD and associated with smoking, elevated TMB and PD-L1 positivity. As multiple trials of novel therapeutic agents are currently enrolling for KRAS GA, CGP to identify these alterations is needed. Legal entity responsible for the studyThe authors.
