The current LACE-Bio analysis showed that concomitant KRAS mutations and copy number gain are rare, occurring in approximately 4% of NSCLC patients. Although not significant, there was a trend towards worse LCSS, DFS and OS in KRAS MUT + Gain patients relative to WT + Neut/Loss patients. In addition, concomitant KRAS mutation and CN gain appeared to predict for better DFS in adenocarcinoma patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, with a trend towards better LCSS and OS as well. However, these results could be driven by the small number of patients and require further validation.
