e21563 Background: Osimertinib is standard of care for patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying acquired epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) T790M mutation. However, few studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of rebiopsy on clinical outcomes after resistance to osimertinib. We evaluated whether next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tissue and liquid rebiopsy could favor post-progression outcomes of T790M-positive advanced NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib. Methods: Immediately just after resistance to second- or further-line osimertinib, advanced NSCLC patients with acquired EGFR T790M mutation were retrospectively divided into the NGS and non-NGS groups according to whether they underwent NGS of tissue or liquid rebiopsy. The co-primary endpoints were post-progression survival (PPS) defined as the time from osimertinib resistance to subsequent-line treatment resistance, and post-progression overall survival (pOS) defined as from osimertinib resistance to death or end of the last follow-up. Multivariable analyses were done using Cox proportional hazards regression model and log-rank test. Results: Between January 2017 and July 2019, 89 patients (62 vs. 27 for the NGS and non-NGS groups respectively) were eligible for final analyses. In the NGS group, 3.2% (2/62) underwent tissue rebiopsy only, 29.0% (18/62)only had liquid rebiopsy, and 66.8% (42/62)with both tissue and liquid rebiopsy.The NGS group received more targeted or combined therapy after resistance to osimertinib (62.9% vs. 40.8%, P= 0.053). The NGS group was significantly superior to the non-NGS group in the co-primary endpoints. The median PPS was 6.1 vs. 2.7 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.49; 95%CI, 0.30 to 0.80; 2-sided log-rank P= 0.004). Meanwhile, the median pOS was 11.7 vs. 6.8 months (HR, 0.50; 95%CI, 0.29 to 0.85, 2-sided log-rank P= 0.009). Conclusions: Providing more opportunities for individualized treatment, NGS of tissue and liquid rebiopsy favors post-progression outcomes of EGFR T790M-positive advanced NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib.

Purpose. To identify the somatic mutated genes for optimal targets of non-small-cell lung cancer after resistance to osimertinib treatment. Patients and Methods. Study patients all had advanced lung adenocarcinoma and acquired resistance to osimertinib as a second- or third-line treatment. These patients had harboring EGFR T790M mutation before osimertinib treatment, which was confirmed by Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) PCR or Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). After resistance to osimertinib treatment, tumor tissue was collected by core needle biopsy. DNA was extracted from 15 × 5 um sliced section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material and NGS was done. The genetic changes were analyzed. Results. A total of 9 Chinese patients were studied, 5 females and 4 males, age 51–89 years. After progression with osimertinib treatment, core needle biopsy was performed and next-generation sequencing was performed. Nine patients had harboring 62 point mutations, 2 altered gene copies, 2 amplifications, and 1 EML4-ALK gene fusion. No MET or HER2 amplification was found in this cohort study. Nine patients still maintained initial EGFR 19 del or L858R activating mutations, while 7 of them kept EGFR T790M mutations. Among the 7 patients, 5 had secondary EGFR C797S and/or C797G mutations, which all happened in the same allele with T790M mutation. All patients were treated with targets therapies, chemotherapy, or best supportive care (BSC) in accordance with NGS genetic results and patients’ performance status; 7 of them are still alive and 2 of them died of disease progression at last follow-up. Conclusions. EGFR C797S/G mutation and the same one presented on the same allele with EGFR T790M mutation were the most common mutation feature and played a key role in resistance to osimertinib in Chinese patients with NSCLC. Tumor cells losing T790M mutation and maintaining EGFR activating mutation might benefit from first-generation EGFR-TKI treatment.

PURPOSE Smaller hotspot-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels have emerged to support standard of care therapy for patients with cancer. When standard treatments fail, it is unknown whether additional testing using an expanded panel of genes provides any benefit. The purpose of this study was to determine if larger sequencing panels that capture additional actionable genes, coupled with decision support, translates into treatment with matched therapy after frontline therapy has failed. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective protocol accrued 521 patients with a wide variety of refractory cancers. NGS testing using a 46- or 50-gene hotspot assay, then a 409-gene whole-exome assay, was sequentially performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments–certified clinical laboratory. A decision-support team annotated somatic alterations in clinically actionable genes for function and facilitated therapeutic matching. Survival and the impact of matched therapy use were determined by Kaplan-Meier estimate, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS The larger NGS panel identified at least one alteration in an actionable gene not previously identified in the smaller sequencing panel in 214 (41%) of 521 of enrolled patients. After the application of decision support, 41% of the alterations in actionable genes were considered to affect the function of the gene and were deemed actionable. Forty patients (40 of 214 [19%]) were subsequently treated with matched therapy. Treatment with matched therapy was associated with significantly improved overall survival compared with treatment with nonmatched therapy ( P = .017). CONCLUSION Combining decision support with larger NGS panels that incorporate genes beyond those recommended in current treatment guidelines helped to identify patients who were eligible for matched therapy while improving overall treatment selection and survival. This survival benefit was restricted to a small subset of patients.

ObjectiveMutations in TP53 are found in the majority of high grade serous ovarian cancers, leading to gain of function or loss of function of its protein product, p53, involved in oncogenesis. There have been conflicting reports as to the impact of the type of these on prognosis. We aim to further elucidate this relationship in our cohort of patients.Methods229 patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer underwent tumor profiling through an institutional molecular screening program with targeted next generation sequencing. TP53 mutations were classified using methods previously described in the literature. Immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue was used to assess for TP53 mutation. Using divisive hierarchal clustering, we generated patient clusters with similar clinicopathologic characteristics to investigate differences in outcomes.ResultsSix different classification schemes of TP53 mutations were studied. These did not show an association with first platinum-free interval or overall survival. Next generation sequencing reliably predicted mutation in 80% of cases, similar to the proportion detected by immunohistochemistry. Divisive hierarchical clustering generated four main clusters, with cluster 3 having a significantly worse prognosis (p<0.0001; log-rank test). This cluster had a higher concentration of gain of function mutations and these patients were less likely to have undergone optimal debulking surgery.ConclusionsDifferent classifications of TP53 mutations did not show an impact on outcomes in this study. Immunohistochemistry was a good predictor for TP53 mutation. Cluster analysis showed that a subgroup of patients with gain of function mutations (cluster 3) had a worse prognosis.
