Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutations drive resistance in 50% of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who progress on first/second generation (1G/2G) EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and are sensitive to Osimertinib. Tissue sampling is the gold-standard modality of T790M testing, but it is invasive. We evaluated the efficacy of Osimertinib in patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC and T790M in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). PLASMA is a prospective, open-label, multicentre single-arm Phase II study. Patients with advanced NSCLC harbouring sensitizing EGFR and T790M mutations in plasma at progression from ≥one 1G/2G TKI were treated with 80 mg of Osimertinib daily until progression. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR) and toxicities. Plasma next-generation sequencing was performed to determine Osimertinib resistance mechanisms and assess serial ctDNA. A total of 110 patients from eight centres in five countries were enrolled from 2017 to 2019. The median follow-up duration was 2.64 (IQR 2.44–3.12) years. The ORR was 50.9% (95% CI 41.2–60.6) and the DCR was 84.5% (95% CI 76.4–90.7). Median PFS was 7.4 (95% CI 6.0–9.3) months; median OS was 1.63 (95% CI 1.35–2.16) years. Of all of the patients, 76% had treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), most commonly paronychia (22.7%); 11% experienced ≥ Grade 3 TRAEs. The ctDNA baseline load and dynamics were prognostic. Osimertinib is active in NSCLC harbouring sensitizing EGFR and T790M mutations in ctDNA testing post 1G/2G TKIs.
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)T790M突变导致约50%的晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者在接受第一/二代(1G/2G)EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKIs)治疗后出现疾病进展,并对奥希替尼敏感。组织取样是T790M检测的金标准方法,但具有侵入性。本研究评估了奥希替尼在循环肿瘤DNA(ctDNA)中检出EGFR突变及T790M突变的NSCLC患者中的疗效。PLASMA是一项前瞻性、开放标签、多中心单臂II期研究。入组患者为晚期NSCLC,在≥一种1G/2G TKI治疗后进展时血浆中检出敏感EGFR突变及T790M突变,每日接受80 mg奥希替尼治疗直至疾病进展。主要终点为客观缓解率(ORR);次要终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)、疾病控制率(DCR)及毒性反应。采用血浆新一代测序技术确定奥希替尼耐药机制并评估系列ctDNA变化。2017年至2019年间,共纳入来自5个国家8个中心的110例患者。中位随访时间为2.64(IQR 2.44–3.12)年。ORR为50.9%(95% CI 41.2–60.6),DCR为84.5%(95% CI 76.4–90.7)。中位PFS为7.4(95% CI 6.0–9.3)个月;中位OS为1.63(95% CI 1.35–2.16)年。所有患者中,76%出现治疗相关不良事件(TRAEs),最常见为甲沟炎(22.7%);11%发生≥3级TRAEs。ctDNA基线负荷及其动态变化具有预后价值。奥希替尼对1G/2G TKIs治疗后ctDNA检测检出敏感EGFR突变及T790M突变的NSCLC患者具有明确疗效。
