Abstract LB-397: Pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed and platinum vs placebo plus pemetrexed and platinum as first-line therapy for metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC: analysis of KEYNOTE-189 by <i>STK11</i> and <i>KEAP1</i> status
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background: Mutations in the tumor suppressor genes STK11 (also known as LKB1) and KEAP1 have been associated with poorer clinical outcomes in patients (pts) with NSCLC. In an exploratory analysis, we assessed the prevalence of STK11 and KEAP1 mutations and their association with efficacy in KEYNOTE-189 (NCT02578680). Methods: STK11 and KEAP1 status and tumor mutational burden (TMB) were assessed by whole-exome sequencing (WES) in pts who had available tumor and matched-normal tissue. PD-L1 was assessed by the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay. The association of STK11 and KEAP1 status with efficacy and their correlation with TMB and PD-L1 expression distributions were evaluated descriptively. Results: WES data from both tumor and normal DNA were evaluable for 289 (47%) of 616 pts, of whom 54 (19%) had an STK11 mutation and 68 (24%) had a KEAP1 mutation; 29 (10%) had both STK11 and KEAP1 mutations. PD-L1 TPS tended to be lower in pts with vs without STK11 mutation (median [IQR] 0% [0-16] vs 15% [0-75]), whereas TMB score tended to be higher in pts with mutation (209 [132-265] vs 146 [89-264]). Similar patterns were seen for pts with vs without KEAP1 mutation (PD-L1 TPS: 1% [0-13] vs 20% [0-75]; TMB: 173 [124-267] vs 147 [89-263]). Although ORR of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy was lower and PFS and OS shorter in pts with vs without STK11 and KEAP1 mutation, pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy was associated with numerically better outcomes than placebo plus chemotherapy regardless of mutation status (Table). 95% CIs were wide given the modest mutation frequency and the 2:1 randomization in favor of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy. Conclusions: Data from this exploratory analysis support use of pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed and platinum as standard first-line therapy for pts with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC regardless of STK11 or KEAP1 status.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
