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.

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

Minimally invasive
• In January 2015, EMA approved
blood testing for activating mutations
(L858R and del 19) to guide
treatment decisions with gefitinib

• T790M plasma+/tumor- patients very likely true positives and reflect tumor heterogeneity
– 5 of 7 tested were confirmed plasma+ by Cobas or Boreal tests
• BEAMing plasma test almost identified as many T790M+ patients (190) as did tissue
test (190) when inadequate tissue specimens (n=20) were included in analysis (n=247)

Comparative data suggest ≈20%–30% of T790M tissue
positives are not detected in plasma by any method

• The various platforms performed similarly for most samples
• NSCLC biology, rather than sensitivity of detection method, is likely limiting factor

Activating Mutation
• A drop to <10 copies/mL in EGFR-activating mutation levels was observed
by day 21 in all but 1 patient who went on to have PRs
• A similar drop was seen in T790M plasma levels in patients with PRs
• EGFR-activating mutation levels remained high in most patients with PD
PD=progressive disease; PR=partial response; SD=stable disease.

Changes in ctDNA mirror clinical response to rociletinib;
progression may or may not be preceded by reemergence of plasma mutEGFR

Tissue negative/plasma positive patient with

• 30 yr old male
• Progressed on front line gefitinib (15 months) immediately before rociletinib
•
Tumor in thorax, brain, supraclavicular nodes (readily accessible for bx)
• Negative T790M by local and central tissue testing
• Plasma T790M positive by BEAMing
• RECIST PR at cycle 2 (including biopsied node), maintained for 10 cycles

CYCLE 4

Summary
• Low plasma T790M level in many NSCLC patients supports the
use of sensitive technologies such as BEAMing for mutation
detection
• BEAMing plasma test identified almost as many T790M+ patients
as the tissue test when inadequate tissue specimens were included
in the analysis
• Plasma testing and tissue testing appear to be complementary
techniques for identifying patients for T790M inhibitors
–
Reflex testing of plasma before tumor could be considered
• Mutations were more readily detectable in the plasma of patients
with M1b rather than M1a disease
• Change in EGFR-activating mutation plasma levels by day 21 may
predict clinical benefit to rociletinib
