Real-World Clinical Outcomes after Genomic Profiling of Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients with Previously Treated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Comprehensive genomic profiling for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can identify patients for molecularly targeted therapies that improve clinical outcomes. We analyzed data from 3084 patients (median age 65 years, 72.9% with adenocarcinoma) with advanced NSCLC registered in a real-world...

description Comprehensive genomic profiling for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can identify patients for molecularly targeted therapies that improve clinical outcomes. We analyzed data from 3084 patients (median age 65 years, 72.9% with adenocarcinoma) with advanced NSCLC registered in a real-world healthcare claims database (GuardantINFORM<sup>TM</sup>, Guardant Health) who underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing (Guardant360<sup>®</sup>, Guardant Health) after first-line therapy (28.0% with agents targeted against genomic alterations). ctDNA was detected in 2771 samples (89.9%), of which 41.9% harbored actionable alterations, most commonly <i>EGFR</i> (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations (29.7%). Actionable alterations were detected in 26.7% of patients (534/2001) previously treated with non-targeted agents. Emerging potentially targetable mutations were found in 40.1% (309/770) of patients previously treated with targeted therapies. Among patients with qualifying alterations detected by ctDNA testing, the time to treatment discontinuation (median 8.8 vs. 4.2 months; hazard ratio 1.97, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and overall survival (median 36.1 vs. 16.6 months; hazard ratio 2.08, <i>p</i> < 0.001) were longer for those who received matched second-line therapy versus unmatched second-line therapy. In real-world practice, results of a blood-based NGS assay prior to second-line treatment inform therapeutic decisions that can improve clinical outcomes for patients with advanced NSCLC.
