OA 10.05 - Non-Invasive Molecular Profiling in NSCLC by Targeted and Whole Exome Analysis of Plasma cfDNA (ID 10422)
11:45 - 11:55 | Author(s): Marc Ladanyi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Molecular characterization of tumor can guide the choice of therapy for NSCLC patients. However, tumors are complicated by spatial heterogeneity and sometimes may not be of sufficient quality and quantity for analysis. NGS using plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) input may capture temporal and spatial heterogeneity, and enable genomic profiling in patients without adequate available tumor tissue. Targeted gene panels allow for robust detection of known oncogenic drivers, but may not be comprehensive enough to screen for novel biomarkers or mechanisms of acquired resistance. Whole exome sequencing (WES) allows for hypothesis-free biomarker discovery, but may be technically challenging in the setting of limited tumor-derived DNA content in plasma cfDNA. In this study, we aim to develop a workflow to guide the selection of samples for targeted and whole exome sequencing for noninvasive molecular profiling.
Method:
Plasma samples were collected from 20 NSCLC patients receiving a variety of treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy). Most patients (>70%) had stage III or IV disease at the time of plasma collection. CfDNA was extracted from 3 mL of plasma, and analyzed using low-pass shallow whole genome sequencing (sWGS) and MSK-IMPACT, a hybridization capture-based assay targeting over 400 cancer-related genes. Analysis of matched normal was performed for somatic variant calling.
Result:
Median cfDNA yield per plasma sample was 28ng (range 7 - 236ng). We applied z-score statistics to estimate the levels of tumor-derived mutant allele fractions in cfDNA based on sWGS data. We trained the algorithm using a separate cohort of cfDNA data from >100 patients with metastatic solid tumors to classify samples by mutant allele fraction (MAF) as either low (<5% MAF) or high (>5% MAF) tumor-derived DNA. In the subset of 10 patients with unknown drivers, two were estimated to have MAF >5% in cfDNA, and WES recapture was performed. MSK-IMPACT targeted sequencing identified actionable alterations in a subset of patients who did not have sufficient materials for tissue profiling. WES in cases with high tumor-derived DNA content by sWGS identified alterations in genes outside of the MSK-IMPACT panel.
Conclusion:
Molecular profiling using cfDNA is feasible in lung cancer and may identify actionable alterations to inform treatment decisions in patients without sufficient tissue for molecular characterization. The application of sWGS to estimate the levels of tumor-derived mutant allele fractions in plasma cfDNA samples may help guide selection of the optimal downstream sequencing strategy.

OA 14.05 - Phase 2 Basket Trial of Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine in Patients with HER2 Mutant or Amplified Lung Cancers (ID 10368)
11:45 - 11:55 | Author(s): Marc Ladanyi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2, ERBB2) mutation and amplification each occurs in 2% of lung cancers, resulting in receptor dimerization and oncogenic signaling with in vitro sensitivity to trastuzumab. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a HER2 targeted antibody drug conjugate linking trastuzumab with the anti-microtubule agent emtansine.
Method:
Patients with advanced HER2 mutant or amplified lung cancers were enrolled into separate cohorts in a basket trial of ado-trastuzumab emtansine, treated at 3.6mg/kg IV every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) using RECIST v1.1. A separate cohort included patients with HER2 mutant lung cancers assessed using PERCIST, with pre-treatment 89Zr-trastuzumab PET as correlative imaging. A Simon two stage optimal design was used with type I error rate under 2.7% (and a family wise error rate across baskets under 10%), power of 89%, H0 10%, H1 40%. Other endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity. HER2 testing was performed on tumor tissue by next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Result:
A total of 33 patients were identified by NGS and enrolled. The first HER2 mutant cohort completed accrual of 18 patients with ORR of 44% (8/18 confirmed, 95% CI 22-69%), rejecting null hypothesis. The median PFS was 4 months, and median PFS for responders was 6 months (range 4-11 months). The PERCIST measured HER2 mutant cohort accrued 9 patients, there were 2 confirmed partial responses (PR) in 5 patients evaluated. The HER2 amplified cohort accrued 6 patients, with 3 confirmed PR observed including 1 with concurrent EGFR sensitizing mutation and resistance to erlotinib. Toxicities included grade 1 or 2 including infusion reaction, thrombocytopenia and transaminitis, there were no treatment related deaths. Of the 27 patients in the HER2 mutant cohorts, there were 18 (67%) exon 20 insertions and 9 (33%) point mutations; responders were seen across mutation subtypes (A775_G776insYVMA, G776delinsVC, V659E, S310F, L755P). Concurrent HER2 amplification was observed in 4 of 27 patients by either NGS or FISH. IHC ranged from 0 to 3+ and did not predict response. Of the 6 patients in the HER2 amplified cohort, 2 had concurrent HER2 mutation and 1 had concurrent EGFR L858R mutation.
Conclusion:
Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is active and well tolerated in patients with advanced HER2 mutant or amplified lung cancers as identified by NGS. While cohort expansion is ongoing, this study has met its primary endpoint in patients with HER2 activating mutations. Further development is warranted.
