LBA4 Association of KRAS mutational status with response to pembrolizumab monotherapy given as first-line therapy for PD-L1-positive advanced non-squamous NSCLC in KEYNOTE-042
ConclusionFindings of this descriptive exploratory analysis suggest that pembrolizumab monotherapy should be considered as a standard first-line treatment option for PD-L1-positive advanced non-squamous NSCLC regardless of KRAS mutational status. These findings also suggest that a pembrolizumab-containing regimen is a clinically relevant comparator for studies of KRAS -targeted therapy given as first-line treatment of NSCLC.

159P Supportive roles of microglia in breast cancer brain metastases
ConclusionOur study shows that metastatic cancer cells may employ microglia to facilitate colonization of brain parenchyma. OPN production is elevated in cultured breast cancer cells and CNS breast cancer metastases. OPN can mediate interactions between microglia and metastatic cancer cells. Minocycline interferes with those interactions and may impair creating a metastatic niche and cancer progression.Legal entity responsible for the studyNencki Institute of Experimental Biology.FundingFoundation for Polish Science Team Tech Core Facility: Development of comprehensive diagnostics and personalized therapy in neuro-oncology...

ConclusionPt subgroups defined as PD-L1 –high by all 3 IHC assays (SP142, 22C3, SP263) had similar OS and PFS benefit with atezo, despite the different assay sensitivities and scoring algorithms. Enrichment in clinical benefit, favouring atezo, was also seen in bTMB positive subgroups. Atezo monotherapy is a potential new 1L tx option f or pts with PD-L1–high NSCLC.
