    Abstract: Intratumour heterogeneity fuels carcinogenesis and allows circumventing specific targeted therapies. HER2 gene amplification is associated with poor outcome in invasive breast cancer. Heterogeneous HER2 amplification has been described in 5–41% of breast cancers. Here, we investigated the genetic differences between HER2‐positive and HER2‐negative admixed breast cancer components. We performed an in‐depth analysis to explore the potential heterogeneity in the somatic mutational landscape of each individual tumour component. Formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded breast cancer tissue of ten patients with at least one HER2‐negative and at least one HER2‐positive component was microdissected. Targeted next‐generation sequencing was performed using a customized 53‐gene panel. Somatic mutations and copy number variations were analysed. Overall, the tumours showed a heterogeneous distribution of 12 deletions, 9 insertions, 32 missense variants and 7 nonsense variants in 26 different genes, which are (likely) pathogenic. Three splice site alterations were identified. One patient had an EGFR copy number gain restricted to a HER2‐negative in situ component, resulting in EGFR protein overexpression. Two patients had FGFR1 copy number gains in at least one tumour component. Two patients had an 8q24 gain in at least one tumour component, resulting in a copy number increase in MYC and PVT1 . One patient had a CCND1 copy number gain restricted to a HER2‐negative tumour component. No common alternative drivers were identified in the HER2‐negative tumour components. This series of 10 breast cancers with heterogeneous HER2 gene amplification illustrates that HER2 positivity is not an unconditional prerequisite for the maintenance of tumour growth. Many other molecular aberrations are likely to act as alternative or collaborative drivers. This study demonstrates that breast carcinogenesis is a dynamically evolving process characterized by a versatile somatic mutational profile, of which some genetic aberrations will be crucial for cancer progression, and others will be mere ‘passenger’ molecular anomalies.

    Abstract: Introduction: The CodeBreaK 200 trial showed that in patients (pts) with advanced KRAS G12C mutated (KRAS+) NSCLC sotorasib, a KRAS G12C-specific inhibitor, is superior to docetaxel for progression free survival (PFS) (HR 0.66) with a one-year PFS of 25%. We hypothesized that the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma could allow for treatment response prediction and longitudinal monitoring. We analyzed serial plasma samples at baseline and within 3 months of start of sotorasib to evaluate ctDNA changes and correlation with clinical response. Methods: Pts with sotorasib treated KRAS+ NSCLC were prospectively enrolled in our biomarker START-TKI study (NCT05221372) after written informed consent. Plasma samples were collected prior to treatment (T0) and at first response evaluation (T1). The TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA panel was used for mutation detection in cell-free DNA (cfDNA). cfDNA KRAS/TP53/STK11/KEAP1 status was determined and compared to tumor tissue pathology reports to filter out false positives. Radiological response and PFS was assessed per RECIST 1.1. Results: Between May 2021 and August 2022, 35 pts were included (table 1). Of these, 29 (83%) had detectable ctDNA KRAS G12C at T0, and 24 had both T0 and T1 samples. A decrease in variant allele frequency (VAF) at T1 compared to T0 was observed in 88% (n=21); 42% (n=10) showed complete clearance of ctDNA KRAS G12C. Six-months PFS was 83% in T0 negative pts (n=6) versus 43% in T0 positive pts (n=29); and 65% in pts with complete clearance (n=10) versus 14% in pts with incomplete clearance (n=11). VAF increase was seen in 3 pts, of which 1 had progression at T1. Conclusions: In pts with KRAS+ NSCLC treated with sotorasib, baseline ctDNA and ctDNA clearance within 3 months of treatment correlated with treatment response. Pts with undetectable KRAS ctDNA at baseline, or with complete clearance at first evaluation, had superior PFS. PFS will be updated as follow-up duration extends. Table 1.
