Background: The development of CPIs and driver-targeted TKIs has transformed the treatment of NSCLC and increased survival rates. However, the role of CPIs in patients with oncogenic-driven NSCLC remains an area of investigation. We sought to examine the impact of CPI sequence on treatment response among patients with oncogenic-driver mutation-positive NSCLC. Methods: Patients with NSCLC being treated within the Sarah Cannon Research Institute network were identified through Genospace, Sarah Cannon’s clinico-genomic analytics platform. Advanced stage oncogenic-driven tumors (driver+) were defined as those with a record of receiving an FDA-approved TKI targeting EGFR, ALK, RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or BRAF. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to examine TTF (defined as time from therapy start to start of next therapy, death, or loss to follow-up) and overall survival (OS). Results: We identified 12,352 patients with lung cancer and available therapy data (2005-2020), including 2,270 (18%) driver+ patients. Eleven percent (N=245) of driver+ patients received a CPI, including 120 (49%) with CPI prior to TKI, 122 (50%) with CPI post TKI, and 3 (1%) who received CPI both pre and post TKI. The CPI TTF was significantly longer for those who received CPI post TKI compared to those who received it prior (Table). EGFR+ tumors accounted for 82% (N=1,867) of driver+ patients, 10% of whom (N=188) received a CPI. Of the EGFR+/CPI+ patients, 78 patients (41%) received CPI prior to TKI, 107 (57%) received CPI post TKI, and 3 (2%) received CPI both pre and post TKI. EGFR+ tumors exposed to a CPI post TKI had a longer CPI TTF compared to patients who received it prior (Table). In contrast, there was no difference in length of benefit from TKI if it was received pre vs. post CPI (Table). There was also no difference in OS based on sequence of TKI and CPI (p=0.88). Larger sample sizes are needed for analysis of additional driver-stratified cohorts. Conclusions: Patients with oncogenic-driven NSCLC benefited from CPI longer when it was administered after TKI compared to before. Importantly, therapy sequence only affected length of benefit from CPIs and did not affect length of benefit from TKIs. This effect was present in EGFR+ NSCLC, but sample sizes were too small to determine if the same is true for other oncogenic-drivers. Therapy sequence had no impact on OS, indicating the presence of additional clinical, therapeutic, and/or genomic factors contributing to disease progression. Continued research is needed to better understand markers of CPI response in driver+ NSCLC.
