Abstract 3020
Background
Oncogenic BRAF-V600 mutations are observed in 1-2% of NSCLC. Targeted therapies (TT) including vemurafenib (V), dabrafenib (D) or dabrafenib plus trametinib (D+T) are associated with favorable outcomes in these patients (pts). The mechanisms of resistance to BRAF-TT in NSCLC are largely unknown.
Methods
We performed genomic profiling of serial ctDNA in 79 metastatic BRAF-mutant NSCLC pts (96% V600E, 4% non-V600). BRAFstatus was ascertained based on local testing. Plasma samples were collected, from 2014-2018 in 27 hospitals, from pts treated with V (n = 34), D (n = 2) or D+T (n = 23). We collected 41 plasma samples at baseline to BRAF-TT, 40 at progressive disease (PD) and ∼200 during treatment follow-up, concurrent to routine radiological evaluation. Inivata InVisionSeq™ assay was used to detect the presence of genomic alterations in 36-cancer related genes.
Results
At baseline, 72.5% of BRAF mutations were detected in plasma. BRAF-V600E detection in plasma was associated with the presence of liver metastasis (22%), versus BRAF-V600E negative pts (7%). Co-occurring alterations at baseline were observed in 18/26 (70%) pts: FGFR2 (1pt), PIK3CA (2pts), ERBB2 (1pt), CTNNB1 (2pts) and IDH1 (2pts). FGFR2, PIK3CAor CTNNB1 alterations were associated with PD as the best response to subsequent BRAF-TT. Complete clearance of baseline BRAF-V600E in ctDNA was observed at the 1stCT-scan evaluation in 42% (3/7) and 82% (9/11) pts who responded to V or D+T, respectively. At PD, a consistent rebound in BRAF-V600E plasma levels was observed in 60% (24/40) pts. PD to V was associated with alterations in the MAPK pathway: KRAS(1pt), GNA11 (1pt), NRASand GNAS (1pt) and MAP2K1and NFE2L2 (1pt). Activating PI3KCA mutations were observed in 4 pts who progressed in < 6 months on V. Similar to pts who progressed on V, alterations in KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CAand CTNNB1were associated with D+T resistance. The impact of these alterations was assessed by in silico structure modeling.
Conclusions
ctDNA monitoring might be an informative tool for assessing disease response and and understand mechanisms of resistance in BRAF-mutant NSCLC pts treated with BRAF-TT. MAPK reactivation remains an important resistance mechanism.
