Aim: To describe outcomes of patients with RET fusion-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based treatments in the US. Patients & methods: Using de-identified Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine NSCLC Clinico-Genomic and Guardant Health databases, treatment patterns and outcomes of 69 patients with advanced/metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC who received ICI-based treatment were described. Results: Median real-world progression-free survival and overall survival months were 4.2 (95% CI: 1.4-8.4) and 19.1 (6.9-not reached), respectively, among patients in Clinico-Genomic database (n = 17) receiving first-line ICI-based therapy. In the Guardant Health database, progression-free survival was unavailable, and the median overall survival was not reached (n = 29). Conclusion: Outcomes associated with ICI-based treatments in the first-line setting among patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC are consistent with unselected populations reported in literature.
