*

P ercentages may not total 100 because of rounding. PD-1 denotes programmed death 1, and PD-L1 programmed death ligand 1.

R ace was reported by the patient.

P erformance-status scores on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale range from 0 to 5, with higher numbers in§dicating greater disability.

§

T wo patients who did not receive platinum-based chemotherapy received pemetrexed, docetaxel, gemcitabine, and vinorelbine.

Targeted small molecules included capmatinib, nintedanib, trametinib, vorolanib, RMC-4630, sitravatinib, and cobimetinib.

The other previous anticancer systemic therapy was an investigational agent.
