ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
No definitive answers currently exist regarding optimal first-line therapy for HER2-mutant NSCLC. Access to rapid tissue sequencing is a major barrier to precision drug development in the first-line setting. ctDNA analysis has the potential to overcome these obstacles and guide treatment.METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed patients with metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC who underwent prospective clinical ctDNA sequencing and received systemic therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) from January 2016 to September 2022. HER2 mutations were identified by next-generation sequencing through MSK-IMPACT, MSK-ACCESS or Resolution ctDx LungTM assay. Primary endpoints were time to the next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS).RESULTS:
Sixty-three patients were included in the primary analysis. Chemoimmunotherapy (33/63, 52.4 %) was the predominant first-line treatment with a median TTNT of 5.1 months (95 %CI 4.1 - 6.1) whereas 55.0 % (22/40) of patients who received second-line T-DXd obtained a median TTNT of 9.2 m (95 % CI, 0-22.2). Plasma ctDNA was tested before first-line therapy in 40 patients with a median OS of 28.0 months (95 % CI 21-34), in whom 31 patients (78.0 %) had detectable ctDNA. HER2 mutations were detected on ctDNA with a median turnaround time of 13 days, occasionally co-occurred with EGFR and MET alterations and were tracked longitudinally correlating with treatment response. Patients with detectable baseline ctDNA had significantly shorter OS (hazard ratio (HR), 5.25; 95 % CI, 1.2-23.9; p = 0.019).CONCLUSION:
Chemoimmunotherapy remains a major treatment option for metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC. ctDNA can rapidly detect HER2 and co-mutations, and it has the potential to guide and monitor optimal first-line therapy. As a negative prognostic biomarker, detectable ctDNA at baseline would need to be taken into account for patient selection in future studies.
