PURPOSE Several trials have evaluated the efficacy of rechallenge treatment with anti–epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody (mAb) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A recent trial indicated that RAS status in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may potentially predict patients with RAS wild-type mCRC resistant to anti-EGFR mAb who would benefit from rechallenge treatment, and the findings should be further investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled patients whose plasma samples were collected in prospective phase II trials, the JACCRO CC-08 (n = 36) and CC-09 (n = 25), which evaluated rechallenge chemotherapy with anti-EGFR mAb for KRAS wild-type mCRC. RAS in ctDNA was analyzed at the time points of baseline, 8 weeks, and progression using OncoBEAM RAS CRC kit. RESULTS Sixteen patients were enrolled in this study, with a response rate of 0% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 62.5%. RAS mutations were found at baseline in six patients. The DCR was 33% in patients with RAS mutations in ctDNA, whereas it was 80% in patients without RAS mutation at baseline. Patients with RAS mutation at baseline had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than those without RAS mutation (median PFS, 2.3 v 4.7 months; hazard ratio [HR], 6.2; P = .013; median OS, 3.8 v 16.0 months; HR, 12.4; P = .0028). Six of 10 patients without RAS mutation at baseline acquired RAS mutations at progression. Postprogression survival after rechallenge treatment was numerically shorter in patients with RAS mutation at progression. CONCLUSION RAS status in ctDNA was significantly associated with clinical outcomes in patients with mCRC receiving rechallenge treatment with anti-EGFR mAb. These findings could support the clinical utility of OncoBEAM RAS CRC kits for anti-EGFR mAb rechallenge in RAS wild-type mCRC.

e15574 Background: This pilot study aimed at the evaluation of the efficacy of anti-EGFR therapy in patients with initially RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer, whose liquid biopsy found no RAS mutation after prior chemotherapy failure. Methods: Sixteen patients with RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer in the solid tumor were included, after they had received 1 to 3 prior chemotherapy lines without anti-EGFR. Before inclusion, RAS genotyping was performed in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from liquid biopsy, after a median duration of ̃24 months after the initial RAS status determination. No RAS mutation was detected in the circulating tumor DNA from 9 patients (56%), who then received cetuximab-FOLFIRI. The 7 patients who had persistent RAS mutation in the liquid biopsy (44%) were treated according to standard recommendations without anti-EGFR. Results: The median progression free survival was 8.2 months [95%CL, 4.5 – 11.8] in patients without detectable ctDNA RAS mutation, as compared to 3.5 months [2.1 – 4.9] in the ctDNA mutated patients (p < 0.001). The median overall survival was 22.3 months [17.3 - 27.3] in the patients with undetectable ctDNA RAS mutation, whereas it was 4.7 months [2.6 - 6.7] in those with ctDNA RAS mutation (p = 0.013). These results suggested the efficacy of cetuximab-based chemotherapy in patients with initially RAS mutated metastatic colorectal cancer, who later displayed no detectable ctDNA RAS mutation. Conclusions: The introduction of an anti-EGFR could provide an additional treatment option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with apparent conversion of initial RAS mutation, based on ctDNA assessment after prior failure on anti-EGFR-free chemotherapy.

It is widely accepted that assessing circular tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the plasma of cancer patients is a promising practice to evaluate somatic mutations from solid tumors noninvasively. Recently, it was reported that isolation of extracellular vesicles improves the detection of mutant DNA from plasma in metastatic patients; however, no consensus on the presence of dsDNA in exosomes has been reached yet. We analyzed small extracellular vesicle (sEV)-associated DNA of eleven metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients and compared the results obtained by microarray and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to those reported on the ctDNA fraction. We detected the same mutations found in tissue biopsies and ctDNA in all samples but, unexpectedly, in one sample, we found a KRAS mutation that was not identified either in ctDNA or tissue biopsy. Furthermore, to assess the exact location of sEV-associated DNA (outside or inside the vesicle), we treated with DNase I sEVs isolated with three different methodologies. We found that the DNA inside the vesicles is only a small fraction of that surrounding the vesicles. Its amount seems to correlate with the total amount of circulating tumor DNA. The results obtained in our experimental setting suggest that integrating ctDNA and sEV-associated DNA in mCRC patient management could provide a complete real-time assessment of the cancer mutation status.
