ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
SWItch/Sucrose NonFermentable (SWI/SNF) mutations have garnered increasing attention because of their association with unfavorable prognosis. However, the genetic landscape of SWI/SNF family mutations in Chinese non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poorly understood. In addition, the optimal treatment strategy has not yet been determined. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
We collected sequencing data on 2027 lung tumor samples from multiple centers in China to comprehensively analyze the genomic characteristics of the SWI/SNF family within the Chinese NSCLC population. Meanwhile, 519 patients with NSCLC from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were enrolled to investigate the potential implications of immunotherapy on patients with SWI/SNF mutations and to identify beneficial subpopulations. We also validated our findings in multiple publicly available cohorts.RESULTS:
Approximately 15% of Chinese patients with lung cancer harbored mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, which were mutually exclusive to the EGFR mutations. Patients with SWI/SNFmut NSCLC who received first-line chemoimmunotherapy had better survival outcomes than those who received chemotherapy alone (median progression-free survival 8.70 versus 6.93 months; P = 0.028). This finding was also confirmed by external validation using the POPLAR/OAK cohort. SWI/SNFmut NSCLC is frequently characterized by high tumor mutational burden and concurrent TP53 or STK11/KEAP mutations. Further analysis indicated that TP53 and STK11/KEAP1 mutations could be stratifying factors in facilitating personalized immunotherapy and guiding patient selection.CONCLUSIONS:
This study provides a step forward in understanding the genetic and immunological characterization of SWI/SNF genetic alterations. Moreover, our study reveals substantial benefits of immunotherapy over chemotherapy for SWI/SNF-mutant patients, especially the SWI/SNFmut and TP53mut subgroups.Palabras clave
