ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Germline mutations driving lung cancer have been infrequently reported in the literature, with EGFR T790M being a known germline mutation identified in 1% of NSCLCs. Typically, a somatic EGFR mutation is acquired to develop lung adenocarcinoma. Osimertinib has become a standard-of-care treatment for EGFR T790M-positive lung cancer.METHODS:
We perform a retrospective analysis through the Lung Cancer Moon Shot GEMINI database at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Of the patients that underwent cell-free DNA analysis, germline mutations were identified by those with high variant allelic fraction approximating 50%, followed by further confirmation on genetic testing.RESULTS:
We identified 22 patients with germline EGFR mutations, with the majority harboring an EGFR T790M mutation (95.5%) and an EGFR L858R somatic mutation (50%). Notably, most patients were female (86.4%), non-smokers (81.8%), white (86.4%), had a family history of lung cancer (59.1%), and stage IV at diagnosis (72.7%). A distinct radiographic pattern of small multifocal ground-glass pulmonary nodules was observed in the majority of our cohort (72.7%). Among the 18 with advanced-stage NSCLC, 12 patients (66.7%) were treated with first-line osimertinib, demonstrating a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 16.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.3-not reached [NR]). Others were treated with first-line afatinib (11.1%) or chemotherapy (22.2%). Among the 17 patients treated with osimertinib (in first or second-line), median PFS was 20.4 months (95% CI 6.3-NR) and median overall survival was 82.0 months (95% CI 28.4-NR).CONCLUSIONS:
Based on our institutional cohort, NSCLC driven by EGFR germline mutations occurs more frequently in non-smoking, white females with multi-focal pulmonary nodules radiographically. Osimertinib for advanced germline EGFR-mutated NSCLC renders similar PFS compared to somatic T790M EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
