The lack of neoplastic tissue may be a critical issue preventing

molecular characterization.

Phase 3 IPASS study Only 42% of the patients had biopsied tissue suitable for molecular testing, Phase 3 INTEREST study only 31% had adequate tissue.

Personal experience

About 10-15% of tissue biopsies and 20% of cytological samples are inadequate.

Assessment of EGFR mutation: selection

of NSCLC patients for targeted therapy

4.4 Avvertenze speciali e precauzioni di impiego Quando si considera l'uso di IRESSA come trattamento per il NSCLC localmente avanzato o metastatico, è importante che la presenza della mutazione dell’EGFR del tessuto tumorale sia cercata per tutti i pazienti. Se un campione del tumore non è valutabile, allora può essere utilizzato il DNA tumorale circolante (ctDNA) ottenuto da un campione di sangue (plasma). Devono essere usati solo test affidabili e sensibili con utilità dimostrata per la determinazione dello stato di mutazione dell’EGFR sul tessuto tumorale o ctDNA, questo al fine di evitare risultati falsi negativi o falsi positivi (vedere paragrafo 5.1).

Liquid biopsy: advantages over tissue or cells

4) cfDNA in blood may provide a better representation of all tumor sites of the body: primary tumor and metastases.

1) less invasive, 2) repeatable over time 3) More rapid turnaround time

Although the liquid biopsy have a great potential and could have

many applications, some critical issues must be highlighted

CRITICAL ISSUES

1) The cf-tumor DNA amount in plasma may be

variable, depending on:

- Tumor type

- In a lesser extent with tumor burden

- Tumor stage (localized/diffused) and tumor grade

CRITICAL ISSUES

2) a large amount of wild-type DNA circulates in the

plasma, and only trace amounts of the mutant allele

Jonathan W. Goldman et al., University of California. Clin Cancer Res; 22(10) May 15, 2016

Conclusions

• The EGFR plasma test may represents an alternative for EGFR testing when tissue or cell are unavailble.

• Detection of EGFR mutations is feasible and accurate – Sensitivity: 70-83%

– Specificity: 100%

• Quantification of mutant EGFR in cfDNA may be useful as an early predictor of clinical response to TKI.

EGFR quantification in plasma of NSCLC patients - potential clinical application

An accurate quantification of mutated alleles in plasma could:

a) complement or replace more expensive and invasive methods to assess response in treated patients;

b) represent a new way to compare the effectiveness of different drugs in clinical trials

c) be an additional tool to evaluate the best treatment regimen for patients. d) allow early detection of the resistant-inducing mutations for possible changes to therapy;
