Abstract 1298P
Background
A greater understanding of a/m NSCLC with HER2/ERBB2 (HER2) mutations, particularly within and outside the TKD, is critical for the development of effective therapies. Here, we report results from a real-world evidence (RWE) study investigating the epidemiological and genomic features of pts with HER2-mutation positive (m+) a/m NSCLC.
Methods
Data were analyzed from the US community practice-based deidentified Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine NSCLC Clinico-Genomic Database. Genomic results were based on the Foundation Medicine FoundationCore database. OncoKB was used to characterize the oncogenic effects of HER2 mutations. Data were analyzed overall and by HER2 mutation type (TKD [exons 18–21] or non-TKD [mutations outside exons 18–21]). Pts with both HER2 TKD and non-TKD mutations were classed as HER2 TKD.
Results
Of 14,768 adults diagnosed with a/m NSCLC between 2015–2022, 559 pts (3.8%) were HER2m+. In these pts, median age was 69 years (range: 34–85), 298 (53%) were female, 151 (27%) had never smoked, 351 (63%) were white, 40 (7%) were African American, 24 (4%) were Asian, and 94 (17%) had brain metastases at baseline. Among HER2m+ pts, 43% (n=239) had HER2 TKD mutations (76% had exon 20 mutations) and 57% (n=320) had HER2 non-TKD mutations. Compared with pts with non-TKD mutations, pts with TKD mutations were more likely to be female (62% vs 47%), never-smokers (45% vs 13%), had more non-squamous histology (93% vs 71%), with lower tumor mutational burden (26% vs 65% had ≥10 mutations/megabase) but higher co-HER2 amplification (11% vs 5%). Among 589 HER2 variants, of which 341 were unique, the most common were A775_G776 insYVMA (19%, n=109), S310F (4%, n=24), and G776>VC (4%, n=22). More variants in the TKD (n=243) were oncogenic (76%, n=184) or likely oncogenic (6%, n=14) than variants in non-TKD regions (n=346; 13% [n=46] oncogenic, 6% [n=21] likely oncogenic).
Conclusions
Pts with a/m NSCLC with HER2 TKD mutations were more frequently female, never smokers and had a lower mutational burden than pts with HER2 non-TKD mutations. More variants in the TKD were annotated as oncogenic than those in non-TKD regions.
