Background: STK11 mutation (STK11m) in patients with stage IV NSCLC is associated with inferior survival and poor response to immune check point inhibitors (ICI). The significance of STK11m in patients (pts) with stage III NSCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) with and without consolidation ICI is unknown. Methods: Patient demographics, disease characteristics, treatment received and outcomes in pts with stage III NSCLC that harbor STK11m were retrospectively reviewed from 4 cancer centers. A cohort of pts with stage III NSCLC and wild type STK11 (STK11w) from the University of Iowa served as a comparison group. SPSS version 25 was used for data analysis. Results: 75 pts with stage III NSCLC who had gene sequencing were included. 16/75 (21%) had STK11m. The clinical characteristics for the 16 STK11m and 59 STK11w pts showed (STK11m vs. STK11w): mean age: 58 vs. 64 yrs, non-squamous histology: 11/16 (69%) vs. 37/59 (63%), KRAS co-mutation: 6/16 (38%) vs. 11/59 (19%), TP53 co-mutation: 9/16 (56%) vs. 15/59 (25%), PD-L1 ≥ 50%: 2/16 (13%) vs. 10/59 (17%), received CCRT 11/16 (69%) vs. 59/59 (100%) and consolidation ICI 6/16 (38%) vs. 17/59 (29%). Regarding the 6 STK11m pts who received ICI (4 pembrolizumab, 2 durvalumab), the median number of ICI infusions was 8 (range, 3-17) vs. 7 (range, 1-25) in the 17 pts with STK11w who received ICI (durvalumab). Progression free survival (PFS) for the STK11m vs. STK11w pts who received CCRT but not ICI was (4.2 vs. 34.3 months, respectively. P = 0.168), for the STK11m vs. STK11w pts who received CCRT and ICI was (11.3 vs. 17.5 months, respectively. P = 0.174), and for the STK11m vs. STK11w pts who received CCRT regardless of receiving ICI (11.3 vs. 32.9 months, respectively. P = 0.021). The median overall survival for STK11m pts (16 pts) was 25.5 months (95% CI, 13.7 to 37.2) while not yet reached for the STK11w group. Conclusions: In stage III NSCLC, STK11m was associated with inferior clinical outcomes. Larger studies are needed to identify the prognostic implications of STK11m in stage III NSCLC and whether ICI impacts survival for this subgroup.
