Title:

MGA Mutation as a Novel Biomarker for Immune Checkpoint Therapies in Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Excerpt:
We therefore explored the association between oncogenic mutations and efficacy to ICIs in non-squamous NSCLC….The objective response rate was also significantly higher in patients with MGA mutation (2.63-fold, p < 0.001, FDR q < 0.05). Longer progression-free survival was found in MGA-mutated patients (HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.23-0.73; p = 0.003)....In the validation cohort, significant improvement in overall survival was found in patients harboring MGA mutation (HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.17-0.88; p = 0.02)....Our work provides evidence that MGA mutation can be used as a novel predictive biomarker for ICI response in non-squamous NSCLC...
