Background: Mutations in the KRAS oncogene occur in most PDAC and lead to the activation of the KRAS protein. Little is known about the differential impact of KRAS mutations on the outcomes of patients receiving standard of care cytotoxic treatments for metastatic disease. KRAS inhibitors are emerging as promising options for this disease and understanding the impact of distinct KRAS mutations in patient outcomes is needed. Methods: This study used the nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record (EHR)-derived de-identified database from 5,369 patients. Adult patients with diagnosis of metastatic PDAC who received at least one line of systemic therapy and had sufficient data available were included in this analysis. Median time to next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) time were calculated for three common first-line treatments and KRAS mutations. TTNT and OS were calculated for each permutation of treatment and each KRAS mutation. Hazard ratios (HR) were generated for each KRAS mutation and treatment, accounting for potentially confounding variables. Results: Of the 5,369 patients, 2,472 met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. G12C had the shortest median OS (7.5 mo) and G12R had the longest (9.1 mo). Overall, KRAS mutation-positive patients had a median OS of 8.6 mo, compared to 11.7 mo for KRAS Wild Type (WT) patients. A Cox Proportional Hazard analysis of OS across KRAS mutation status found that G12C, G12V, G12D, and Other Non G12/13 KRAS had significantly higher HR than KRAS WT. A comparison of the three common first-line interventions for metastatic PDAC showed that FOLFIRINOX had the longest median TTNT (5.3 mo) and the longest OS (10.2 mo), while Gemcitabine had the shortest TTNT (2.6 mo) and OS (5.9 mo). A Cox Proportional Hazard analysis of OS across all patients found that Gemcitabine and Gemcitabine with Nabpaclitaxel had significantly higher HR than FOLFIRINOX. FOLFIRINOX had the longest TTNT in the G12C, G12V, G12D, G12R, and other non-G12/G13 KRAS groups (see table). Conclusions: Our data suggest that FOLFIRINOX has a longer TTNT than other first-line regimens for KRAS G12C, G12V, G12D, and G12R. KRAS G12C was associated with the shortest OS among common KRAS mutations.
