Molecular Biomarkers of Disease Outcomes and Mechanisms of Acquired Resistance to First-Line Osimertinib in Advanced EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancers.
Journal of Thoracic Oncology 2022 December 7
INTRODUCTION: Preferred first-line treatment for patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer is osimertinib, yet it is not known whether patient outcomes may be improved by identifying and intervening on molecular markers associated with therapeutic resistance.
METHODS: All patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer treated with first-line osimertinib at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (n = 327) were identified. Available pretreatment and postprogression tumor samples underwent targeted gene panel sequencing and mutational signature analysis using SigMA algorithm. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
RESULTS: Using multivariate analysis, baseline atypical EGFR (median PFS = 5.8 mo, p < 0.001) and concurrent TP53/RB1 alterations (median PFS = 10.5 mo, p = 0.015) were associated with shorter PFS on first-line osimertinib. Of 95 patients with postprogression biopsies, acquired resistance mechanisms were identified in 52% (off-target, n = 24; histologic transformation, n = 14; on-target, n = 12), with MET amplification (n = 9), small cell lung transformation (n = 7), and acquired EGFR amplification (n = 7), the most frequently identified mechanisms. Although there was no difference in postprogression survival on the basis of identified resistance (p = 0.07), patients with subsequent second-line therapy tailored to postprogression biopsy results had improved postprogression survival (hazard ratio = 0.09, p = 0.006). The paired postprogression tumors had higher tumor mutational burden (p = 0.008) and further dominant APOBEC mutational signatures (p = 0.07) compared with the pretreatment samples.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer treated with first-line osimertinib have improved survival with treatment adaptation on the basis of identified mechanisms of resistance at time of progression using tissue-based genomic analysis. Further survival gains may be achieved using risk-based treatment adaptation of pretreatment genomic alterations.
