    Background
    In case of progression under initial treatment, repeat biopsy is a new option procedure in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its justification is based on the assessment of biological markers (comparison to the initial status, emergence of resistance to chemotherapy or new biomarkers). The aim of this pragmatic prospective multicenter study was to assess feasibility and clinical utility of re-biopsy in real world setting in advanced NSCLC.

    Methods
    Patient’s main inclusion criteria was advanced NSCLC with an indication of repeat biopsy by the referent clinician. The primary outcome was the percentage of successful procedures; secondary outcomes were localization of the new biopsy, type of procedure, new biological status (comparison to initial status, new biomarkers, resistance biomarkers) and tolerance of the procedure.

    Results
    From May 2012 to May 2013, 18 centers included 102 patients. The characteristics of the 67 first patients were: male: 40%; age: 64.8 ± 10.9 years; PS 0/1: 87%; adenocarcinoma: 85%; EGFR mutated: 46.2%; no biological available assessment: 16.4%; controlled disease as best response to first line: 70%. Repeat biopsy was possible in 80.6%. The main failure reasons were: inaccessible lesion: 4.5%, medical contraindications: 14.9%. Main procedures were: bronchial endoscopy: 48.1%, trans thoracic needle biopsy: 24.1%. The procedure permits to find, in EGFR wild type population, 3 patients with a driver oncogene (1 HER2, 1 Ros1, 1 EML4 ALK); in EGFR mutated patients, 2 T790M mutations and to obtain in 3 patients with no biological data’s at the diagnosis, a biological profile. Complications were very low: 2 cases of moderate bleeding and 1 case of pneumothorax.

    Conclusion
    Repeat biopsy is a feasible procedure with acceptable adverse events. Recommendations should be realized on the indications of re-biopsy, the timing and the recommended site (primary versus metastasis, progressive target versus no progressive). Analysis of the complete population (n=102) will be presented at the meeting. Supported by an academic grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Company and Hoffmann-La Roche Company.
