Circulating DNA-Based Sequencing Guided Anlotinib Therapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Anlotinib is a multitargeted antiangiogenic drug, and its clinical predictor for responsive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is still elusive. Here, tumor-specific target capture is used to profile the circulating DNA of ALTER0303 (evaluating NSCLC clinical antitumor efficacy through anlotinib therapy) study participants. The results indicate that patients receiving no benefit can be mainly excluded via analysis of ARID1A and BRCA2 genetic profiling. For patients with no durable benefit and durable clinical benefit patients, three predictors: germline and somatic mutation burden (G+S MB), nonsynonymous and synonymous mutation burden (N+S MB), and unfavorable mutation score of circulating DNA profiling are identified. Through integrating the advantages and disadvantages of three independent predictors, the tumor mutation index (TMI) is established as a prediction model and the patients who are very likely to benefit more from anlotinib therapy are identified. Furthermore, the IDH1 exon 4 mutation is identified as an unfavorable factor for anlotinib therapy under TMI-based stratification, and the TMI plus IDH1 exon 4 mutation status potentially predicts response to anlotinib. Collectively, this study provides a circulating DNA sequencing-based stratification method for identifying anlotinib responders via a noninvasive approach, and thus potentially improves the clinical outcome of NSCLC patients receiving third-line therapy.

Project description:BackgroundCurrently available biomarkers are imperfect in their ability to predict responses to the multiple first-line treatment options available for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Having an early pharmacodynamic marker of treatment resistance may help redirect patients onto more effective alternative therapies. We sought to determine if changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels after initiation of first-line pembrolizumab±chemotherapy in NSCLC would enable early prediction of response prior to radiological assessment.MethodsPlasma collected from patients with advanced NSCLC prior to and serially after starting first-line pembrolizumab±platinum doublet chemotherapy was analyzed by next-generation sequencing using enhanced tagged-amplicon sequencing of hotspots and coding regions from 36 genes. Early change in ctDNA allele fraction (AF) was correlated with radiographic responses and long-term clinical outcomes.ResultsAmong 62 patients who received first-line pembrolizumab±platinum/pemetrexed and underwent ctDNA assessment, 45 had detectable ctDNA alterations at baseline. The median change in AF at the first follow-up (at a median of 21 days after treatment initiation) was -90.1% (range -100% to +65%) among patients who subsequently had a radiologic response (n=18), -19.9% (range: -100% to +1884%) among stable disease cases (n=15), and +28.8% (range: -100% to +410%) among progressive disease cases (n=12); p=0.003. In addition, there was a significant correlation between the percent change in ctDNA at the first follow-up and the percent change in tumor target lesions from baseline (R=0.66, p<0.001). AF decrease between the pretreatment and first on-treatment blood draw was associated with significantly higher response rate (60.7% vs 5.8%, p=0.0003), and significantly longer median progression-free survival (8.3 vs 3.4 months, HR: 0.29 (95% CI: 0.14 to 0.60), p=0.0007) and median overall survival (26.2 vs 13.2 months, HR: 0.34 (95% CI: 0.15 to 0.75), p=0.008) compared with cases with an AF increase.ConclusionIn patients with advanced NSCLC, rapid decreases in ctDNA prior to radiological assessment correlated with clinical benefit. These results suggest a potential role for ctDNA as an early pharmacodynamic biomarker of response or resistance to immunotherapies.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) has been considered as an effective treatment in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant (EGFR-mutant) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, most patients develop acquired resistance eventually. Here, we compared and analyzed the genetic alterations between tissue assay and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and further explored the resistance mechanisms after EGFR-TKI treatment.Methods and materialsAmplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR), Cobas® ARMS-PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed on tissue samples after pathological diagnosis. Digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) and NGS were performed on plasma samples. The association between genetic alterations and clinical outcomes was analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThirty-seven patients were included. The success rate of re-biopsy was 91.89% (34/37). The total detection rate of EGFR T790M was 62.16% (23/37) and the consistency between tissue and ctDNA was 78.26% (18/23). Thirty-four patients were analyzed retrospectively. For tissue re-biopsy, 24 patients harbored concomitant mutations. Moreover, tissue re-biopsy at resistance showed 21 patients (21/34, 61.76%) had the concomitant somatic mutation. The three most frequent concomitant mutations were TP53 (18/34, 52.94%), MET (4/34, 11.76%), and PIK3CA (4/34, 11.76%). Meanwhile, 21 patients (21/34, 61.76%) with EGFR T790M mutation. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were better in patients with T790M mutation (p = 0.010 and p = 0.017) or third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.073). Interestingly, concomitant genetic alterations were significantly associated with a worse prognosis for patients with EGFR T790M mutation receiving third-generation EGFR-TKIs (p = 0.037).ConclusionsMulti-platforms are feasible and highly consistent for re-biopsy after EGFR-TKI resistance. Concomitant genetic alterations may be associated with a poor prognosis for patients with EGFR T790M mutation after third-generation EGFR-TKIs.
