Background Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved survival outcomes compared with chemotherapy in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the impact of actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) on the efficacy of neoadjuvant ICIs remains unclear. We report the influence of AGAs on treatment failure (TF) in patients with resectable NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant ICIs.Methods Tumor molecular profiles were obtained from patients with stage I–IIIA resectable NSCLC (American Joint Committee on Cancer seventh edition) treated with either neoadjuvant nivolumab (N, n=23) or nivolumab+ipilimumab (NI, n=21) followed by surgery in a previously reported phase-2 randomized study (NCT03158129). TF was defined as any progression of primary lung cancer after neoadjuvant ICI therapy in patients without surgery, radiographic and/or biopsy-proven primary lung cancer recurrence after surgery, or death from possibly treatment-related complications or from primary lung cancer since randomization. Tumors with AGAs (n=12) were compared with tumors without AGAs and non-profiled squamous cell carcinomas (non-AGAs+NP SCC, n=20).Results With a median follow-up of 60.2 months, the overall TF rate was 34.1% (15/44). Tumor molecular profiling was retrospectively obtained in 47.7% (21/44) of patients and select AGAs were identified in 12 patients: 5 epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), 2 KRAS, 1 ERBB2, and 1 BRAF mutations, 2 anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and 1 RET fusions. The median time to TF in patients with AGAs was 24.7 months (95% CI: 12.6 to 40.4), compared with not reached (95% CI: not evaluable (NE)–NE) in the non-AGAs+NP SCC group. The TF risk was higher in AGAs (HR: 5.51, 95% CI: 1.68 to 18.1), and lower in former/current smokers (HR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.75). The odds of major pathological response were 4.71 (95% CI: 0.49 to 45.2) times higher in the non-AGAs+NP SCC group, and the median percentage of residual viable tumor was 72.5% in AGAs compared with 33.0% in non-AGS+NP SCC tumors.Conclusions Patients with NSCLC harboring select AGAs, including EGFR and ALK alterations, have a higher risk for TF, shorter median time to TF, and diminished pathological regression after neoadjuvant ICIs. The suboptimal efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy-sparing, ICI-based regimens in this patient subset underscores the importance of tumor molecular testing prior to initiation of neoadjuvant ICI therapy in patients with resectable NSCLC. |
