Ross Camidge, Rafal Dziadziuszko, Leora Horn, Shirish Gadgeel, Mitch Raponi, Andrew Allen, Lecia Sequist 2 Disclosure Information: Jonathan Goldman, MD AACR Annual Meeting 2015 I have the following financial relationships to disclose: • Consultant for: Clovis • Grant/Research support from: Clovis, MedImmune, BMS, Lilly, Astra Zeneca 3 Lung adenocarcinoma is increasingly treated according to driver mutation • Activating mutations (eg, del 19, L858R) in EGFR found in ≈15% of all NSCLC – Lung adenocarcinoma oncogene drivers Twice as common in East Asian populations • A first-generation EGFR inhibitor (EGFRi) is often used as first- or later-line therapy after chemotherapy • T790M found in >60% of acquired resistance to first-generation EGFRi • Rociletinib (CO-1686) is a novel, oral, selective covalent inhibitor of EGFR mutations in NSCLC – Inhibits key activating and T790M mutations – Spares wild-type (wt) receptor signaling EGFR=epidermal growth factor receptor; NSCLC=non-small cell lung cancer.

Clin Cancer Res 2013;19:2240–2247 4 TIGER-X clinical dose group responses Change from Baseline (%) 100 Best Response for Evaluable T790M+ Patients 67% ORR (per RECIST v1.1) 89% DCR 80 60 40 20 0 -20 -40 -60 -80 -100 • US FDA breakthrough therapy designation granted May 2014 • Several global phase 2/3 trials are underway or about to start in both first-line and later-line Soria et al. Presented at EORTC-NCI-AACR; November 18–21, 2014; Barcelona, Spain. 5 Mutations missed by tissue test because of tumor heterogeneity may be captured by a blood test EGFR-mutant NSCLC Response T790M-mediated relapse: candidate for rociletinib First-generation EGFRi EGFR-activating mutation EGFR-activating mutation plus T790M resistance mutation blood • Adapted from N. Rosenfeld/D. Tsui Reservoir for cancer genome in circulating tumor (ct)DNA biopsy • May miss T790M 6 An EGFR blood test would be advantageous but needs high sensitivity/specificity for use in clinical practice • Why blood? – Tumor heterogeneity – Biopsies can be difficult/insufficient – Inadequate/insufficient material for molecular analysis in 10%–20% of clinical cases Comorbidities prevent biopsies in ≤20% of patients blood Minimally invasive • In January 2015, EMA approved blood testing for activating mutations (L858R and del 19) to guide treatment decisions with gefitinib EGFR-activating mutation EMA=European Medicines Agency. EGFR-activating mutation plus T790M resistance mutation 7 Quantitative and sensitive BEAMing test (Sysmex Inostics) is being used for EGFR mutation detection in plasma Pre-amplification Emulsion PCR & hybridization Flow cytometry Magnetic beads coated with primer DNA isolation Amplified DNA Water-in-oil emulsion Plasma Tumor DNA Wild-type DNA dNTPs Polymerase Primer Oil-emulsifier mixture • BEAMing is digital PCR followed by flow cytometry – EGFR test identifies L858R, del 19, and rare activating mutations plus T790M dNTPs=deoxynucleotide triphosphates; PCR=polymerase chain reaction.
