Real-World Analysis of the Efficacy of Rebiopsy and EGFR Mutation Test of Tissue and Plasma Samples in Drug-Resistant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Standard treatment for cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibiting acquired drug resistance includes tumor rebiopsy, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation testing (e.g., for T790M mutations), and the subsequent administration of third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). However, rebiopsies are typically invasive, costly, and occasionally not feasible. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess rebiopsy procedures by analyzing real-world data collected by the ASTRIS study of patients with resistant NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The present study used statistical models to evaluate data collected by the ASTRIS trial (NCT02474355) conducted at Yonsei Cancer Center, including the rebiopsy success rate, incidence of T790M mutations in collected tissue and plasma samples, and association of administered osimertinib treatment efficacy. RESULTS:In a total of 188 screened patients, 112 underwent rebiopsy. An adequate tumor specimen was obtained in 95 of these patients, the greatest majority of whom (43.8%) were subjected to bronchoscopy. T790M mutations were detected in 53.3% of successfully EGFR-tested rebiopsy samples. A total of 88 patients received osimertinib treatment, and the objective response rate and median progression-free survival time was 44.3% and 32.7 weeks, respectively, among the treated patients overall, but 57.8% and 45.0 weeks, and 35.2% and 20.4 weeks among patients who exhibited T790M-positive tissue (n=45) and plasma (n=54) samples, respectively. CONCLUSION:Approximately 60% of patients in the analyzed real-world cohort were eligible for tissue rebiopsy upon NSCLC progression. Osimertinib activity was higher in patients in whom T790M mutations were detected in tissues rather than in plasma samples.

Project description:PurposeTissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is increasingly used for treatment selection in patients with advanced cancer; however, tissue availability may limit widespread implementation. Here, we established real-world CGP tissue availability and assessed CGP performance on consecutively received samples.Materials and methodsWe conducted a post hoc, nonprespecified analysis of 32,048 consecutive tumor tissue samples received for StrataNGS, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based comprehensive genomic profiling (PCR-CGP) test, as part of an ongoing observational trial (NCT03061305). Sample characteristics and PCR-CGP performance were assessed across all tested samples, including exception samples not meeting minimum input quality control (QC) requirements (< 20% tumor content [TC], < 2 mm2 tumor surface area [TSA], DNA or RNA yield < 1 ng/µL, or specimen age > 5 years). Tests reporting ≥ 1 prioritized alteration or meeting TC and sequencing QC were considered successful. For prostate carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma, tests reporting ≥ 1 actionable or informative alteration or meeting TC and sequencing QC were considered actionable.ResultsAmong 31,165 (97.2%) samples where PCR-CGP was attempted, 10.7% had < 20% TC and 59.2% were small (< 25 mm2 tumor surface area). Of 31,101 samples evaluable for input requirements, 8,089 (26.0%) were exceptions not meeting requirements. However, 94.2% of the 31,101 tested samples were successfully reported, including 80.5% of exception samples. Positive predictive value of PCR-CGP for ERBB2 amplification in exceptions and/or sequencing QC-failure breast cancer samples was 96.7%. Importantly, 84.0% of tested prostate carcinomas and 87.9% of lung adenocarcinomas yielded results informing treatment selection.ConclusionMost real-world tissue samples from patients with advanced cancer desiring CGP are limited, requiring optimized CGP approaches to produce meaningful results. An optimized PCR-CGP test, coupled with an inclusive exception testing policy, delivered reportable results for > 94% of samples, potentially expanding the proportion of CGP-testable patients and impact of biomarker-guided therapies.

Project description:Background:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene has been identified as the driving gene of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has shown efficacy, but acquired resistance is inevitable. It has been confirmed that the secondary EGFR Thr790Met (T790M) mutation accounts for about 50% of the mechanisms of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. The third-generation of EGFR-TKI has significantly efficacy in advanced T790M-positive NSCLC patients. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the status of T790M in patients with acquired resistance after first generation EGFR-TKI. The objective of this study was to investigate the positive rate of plasma test T790M mutation and its relationship with different clinical characteristics, and the frequency of T790M mutation in advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with acquired resistance after firstline EGFR-TKI treatment. Methods:Patients from a single clinical center (Taizhou hospital) were recruited prospectively from September 2017 to June 2018. The eligibility criteria of the trial included the following: (I) aged 18 years or older, histologically confirmed NSCLC stage IIIB/st and EGFR mutation positive; (II) progressive disease (PD) after first generation EGFR-TKI by RECIST v1.1, with PFS>3 months; (III) no third generation TKI treatment. All patients signed informed consent, had 10 mL of blood drawn, and were evaluated for the presence of T790M gene by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Taizhou Hospital (ethical batch number: 201637). Results:A total of 189 patients were included in the analysis. The overall T790M mutation rate of plasma detection was 36.51% (69/189). The positive rate of T790M mutation after the failure of first generation EGFR-TKI treatment was not correlated with the patient's age, sex, and the type of first generation TKI drugs. However, it was related to the mutation type of EGFR in baseline and the mode of progression according to reports by Wu et al. The frequency of T790M mutation among patients with initial exon 19 deletion mutation, exon 21 L858R point mutation, and other mutations were 45.45%, 26.19% and 33.33%, respectively. The mutation rate of T790M in 19del mutant patients was higher than that of L858R mutation and other mutations (P=0.026). The frequency of T790M mutation in local progression patients was 50% after the first generation TKI was resistant to drug treatment: in gradual progression it was 26.92%, and in dramatic progression it was 38.10%. The frequency of T790M mutation of patients with local progression was significantly higher (P=0.031). Conclusions:The patients with EGFR mutations after the first generation of EGFR-TKI-acquired resistance of NSCLC were evaluated for their plasma EGFR mutation status, and the overall T790M mutation rate of was 36.51%. The frequency of T790M mutation with initial mutation of 19 del was higher than that of L858R mutation and other mutations, and local progression was higher than that in patients with gradual progression and dramatic progression.

Project description:BackgroundThe plasma sample has emerged as a promising surrogate sample for EGFR mutation detection in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In clinical practice, whether EGFR variants in baseline plasma ctDNA of advanced NSCLC can predict prognosis in addition to guiding targeted therapy remains to be further explored.Material and methodsIn total, 315 NSCLC patients were retrospectively enrolled. EGFR mutation data from tissue detected by ARMS-PCR and paired plasma samples within 1 month of admission detected by SuperARMS or ARMS-PCR were collected. The correlation between baseline plasma ctDNA EGFR mutation status and survival was compared.ResultsEGFR mutation detection rates in tumor samples and plasma samples were 65.1% (205/315) and 43.8% (138/315). Referred to tissue results, the consistent rate of test ctDNA EGFR alteration by SuperARMS was higher than that detected by ARMS (79.5% vs. 69.0%, p = 0.04), either in stage I-IIIA patients (85.7% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.4) or stage IIIB-IV patients (79.1% vs. 69.4%, p = 0.04). Patients' treatment status and pathological subtype were the two factors that affected plasma ctDNA EGFR alteration detection accuracy. The concordance in non-adenocarcinoma patients was obviously higher than that in adenocarcinoma (p = 0.02), and the concordance in treatment naïve patients was significantly higher than that in relapse patients (p = 0.047). In treatment naïve patients, the median PFS (mPFS) in plasma ctDNA EGFR-positive patients was shorter than that in plasma ctDNA EGFR negative patients (7.0 vs. 10.0 months, p = 0.01). In relapsed patients, the mPFS in plasma ctDNA EGFR-positive patients was 9.0 months versus 11.0 months in plasma ctDNA EGFR negative patients (p = 0.1).ConclusionsA plasma sample could be an alternative for a molecular test when tissue samples was unavailable. The SuperARMS-PCR detection method has high sensitivity in real-world clinical practice. Furthermore, in patients with stage IIIB-IV, baseline plasma ctDNA EGFR mutation positivity not only guides targeted therapy but also predicts a worse prognosis.
