Table 4. Overall survival and progression-free survival from start of first-line and second-line IO and chemotherapy by KRAS/STK11 mutation status (all patients).

Immunotherapy Chemotherapy
First-line therapy (n = 166) Second-line therapy (n = 427) First-line therapy (n = 1493) Second-line therapy (n = 650)
Median OS, months (IQR)
    KRASm/STK11m 10.0 (7.3‒NA) 6.9 (2.4‒21.9) 11.7 (5.2‒23.5) 11.3 (7.2‒25.2)
    KRASwt/STK11wt 16.3 (6.0‒29.6) 12.0 (4.3‒26.9) 18.2 (8.1‒38.4) 13.2 (6.3‒33.5)
    HR (95% CI) 1.5 (0.7‒2.9)a 1.6 (1.2‒2.3)b,c 1.6 (1.3‒1.9)a,c 1.3 (0.9‒1.8)b
Median PFS, months (IQR)
    KRASm/STK11m 4.1 (2.5‒9.6) 2.2 (1.5‒3.0) 4.5 (2.1‒7.5) 4.4 (2.8‒6.7)
    KRASwt/STK11wt 4.4 (2.1‒11.7) 2.8 (1.7‒7.0) 5.9 (2.8‒11.3) 4.3 (2.2‒9.7)
    HR (95% CI) 1.3 (0.8‒2.2)a 1.8 (1.4‒2.4)b,c 1.4 (1.2‒1.7)a,c 1.1 (0.8‒1.5)b

OS and PFS were assessed as time to event from initiation of line of therapy (first-line or second-line). All HR values reported are adjusted HRs calculated using multivariate Cox regression models; the models included all patients, including those with KRASm/STK11wt and KRASwt/STK11m (total n = 270 [first-line immunotherapy]; 670 [second-line immunotherapy]; 2137 [first-line chemotherapy]; and 863 [second-line chemotherapy]). Variables in the final adjusted multivariate analysis

a Age at start of line 1, gender, smoking history, ECOG status ≤60 days before start of line 1, and stage at initial diagnosis.

b Age at start of line 2, gender, smoking history, ECOG status ≤60 days before start of line 2, stage at initial diagnosis, and first-line treatment type.

c p-value <0.005. CI: confidence interval; CT: chemotherapy; ECOG: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; HR: hazard ratio; IO: immunotherapy; IQR: interquartile range; m: mutant; OS: overall survival; PFS: progression-free survival; wt: wild type.
