Popis: 3102 Background: BRAF alterations (alts) account for ~4% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with 50% being non-V600 alts. Because these alts are functionally heterogeneous and have a poorly characterized genomic landscape, determining appropriate treatment strategies is a challenge. Methods: The Guardant360 clinical database was queried for NSCLC patients (pts) with BRAF alts. Alts were categorized by clonality, type and class (1 and 2: BRAF monomer and dimer signaling; 3: requires co-occurring upstream RAS-mediated signaling). Functionality and drug screen assays were performed in Ba/F3 cells. Pts with non-V600 mutations were analyzed for sensitivity to MEK +/- BRAF inhibitors (M+Bi). Results: 306 unique BRAF alts were identified and the majority were observed once (233/306; 76%). Amplifications (806/1663; 48.5%) and missense alts (795/1663; 47.8%) were the most common occurrences. Missense alts were predominantly clonal (58%), and of known functionality (428/795; 54%). All class 1-2 alts were activating in Ba/F3 cells, while class 3 alts were found to have variable functionality (activating: 4/9). Functionality was correlated with clonality as demonstrated by class 1-3 alts having higher clonality compared to variants of unknown significance (VUS) (1: 56%; 2: 54%; 3: 45%; VUS: 38%; P
