: Real-world data on the molecular epidemiology of resistance mutations at or after progression with first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs in patients with advanced NSCLC are lacking. : This ongoing observational study was carried out by 23 hospital-based physicians in Greece. The decision to perform cobas Mutation Test v2 in tissue and/or plasma at disease progression was made before enrollment. For patients with negative/inconclusive T790M plasma-based results, tissue re-biopsy could be performed. : Ninety-six (96) eligible patients were consecutively enrolled (median age: 67.8 years) between July-2017 and September-2019. Of the patients, 98% were tested upon progression using plasma and 2% using tissue/cytology biopsy. The T790M mutation was detected in 16.0% of liquid biopsies. Tissue re-biopsy was performed in 22.8% of patients with a T790M-negative plasma result. In total, the T790M positivity rate was 21.9%, not differing between patients on first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI. Higher (≥2) ECOG performance status and longer (≥10 months) time to disease progression following EGFR-TKI treatment initiation were associated with T790M positivity. : Results from plasma/tissue-cytology samples in a real-world setting, yielded a T790M positivity rate lower than previous reports. Fewer than one in four patients with negative plasma-based testing underwent tissue re-biopsy, indicating the challenges in routine care settings.
缺乏晚期非小细胞肺癌患者在第一代或第二代表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(EGFR-TKIs)治疗进展时或之后耐药突变分子流行病学的真实世界数据。
这项正在进行的观察性研究由希腊23位医院医生开展。在入组前就决定在疾病进展时对组织和/或血浆进行cobas Mutation Test v2检测。对于基于血浆检测结果为T790M阴性/不确定的患者,可进行组织重新活检。
在2017年7月至2019年9月期间,连续入组了96例符合条件的患者(中位年龄:67.8岁)。其中,98%的患者在疾病进展时使用血浆进行检测,2%的患者使用组织/细胞学活检。在16.0%的液体活检中检测到T790M突变。22.8%血浆T790M检测结果为阴性的患者进行了组织重新活检。总体而言,T790M阳性率为21.9%,第一代或第二代EGFR-TKI治疗的患者之间无差异。较高(≥2)的东部肿瘤协作组(ECOG)体能状态以及EGFR-TKI治疗开始后较长(≥10个月)的疾病进展时间与T790M阳性相关。
在真实世界中,血浆/组织-细胞学样本的检测结果显示T790M阳性率低于先前报告。基于血浆检测为阴性的患者中,不到四分之一接受了组织重新活检,这表明在常规护理环境中存在挑战。
