Abstract
Abstract KRAS is a key oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Chromatin-remodeling gene SMARCA4 was co-mutated with KRAS in LUAD; however, the impact of SMARCA4 mutations on clinical outcome has not been adequately established. This study sought to shed light on the clinical significance of SMARCA4mutations in LUAD. The association of SMARCA4 mutations with survival outcomes was interrogated in 4 independent cohorts totaling 564 patients: KRAS-mutant patients with LUAD who received non-immunotherapy treatment from 1) The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and 2) the MSK-IMPACT Clinical Sequencing (MSK-CT) cohorts; and KRAS-mutant patients with LUAD who received immune checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy treatment from 3) the MSK-IMPACT (MSK-IO) and 4) the Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center (WFBCCC) immunotherapy cohorts. Of the patients receiving non-immunotherapy treatment, in the TCGA cohort (n=155), KRAS-mutant patients harboring SMARCA4 mutations (KS) showed poorer clinical outcome (P=6e-04 for disease-free survival (DFS) and .031 for overall survival (OS), respectively), compared to KRAS-TP53 co-mutant (KP) and KRAS-only mutant (K) patients; in the MSK-CT cohort (n=314), KS patients also exhibited shorter OS than KP (P=.03) or K (P=.022) patients. Of patients receiving immunotherapy, KS patients consistently exhibited the shortest progression-free survival (PFS; P=.0091) in the MSK-IO (n=77), and the shortest PFS (P=.0026) and OS (P=0.0014) in the WFBCCC (n=18) cohorts, respectively. Therefore, mutations of SMARCA4 represent a genetic factor that lead to adverse clinical outcome in lung adenocarcinoma treated by either non-immunotherapy or immunotherapy.
