Identification of osimertinib-resistant EGFR L792 mutations by cfDNA sequencing: oncogenic activity assessment and prevalence in large cfDNA cohort

Abstract Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) next-generation sequencing has the potential to capture tumor heterogeneity and genomic evolution under treatment pressure in a non-invasive manner. Here, we report the detection of EGFR L792 mutations, a non-covalent mechanism of osimertinib resistance, using Guardant...

description Abstract Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) next-generation sequencing has the potential to capture tumor heterogeneity and genomic evolution under treatment pressure in a non-invasive manner. Here, we report the detection of EGFR L792 mutations, a non-covalent mechanism of osimertinib resistance, using Guardant360 cfDNA testing in a patient with metastatic EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease progressed on osimertinib. We subsequently analyzed a large cohort of over 1800 additional patient samples harboring an EGFR T790M mutation and identified a concomitant L792 mutation in a total of 22 (1.2%) cases. In vitro functional assays demonstrated that the EGFR L858R/T790M/L792F/H mutations conferred intermediate-level resistance to osimertinib. Further understanding of potential acquired resistance mechanisms to targeted therapy may help inform treatment strategy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
