Abstract:
e20557 Background: Patients with synchronous de novo EGFR sensitising and resistance mutations are rare. Little is known about the response of these patients to EGFR TKIs, especially in a Caucasian population. Methods: We identified NSCLC patients found to have EGFR mutations using PCR-based fragment length analysis, mass spectrometry-based genotyping (Sequenom), and Sanger sequencing using a large multi-institutional database. Baseline clinical characteristics, response rate, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Results: From 2008-2015, we observed de novo synchronous EGFR sensitising and resistance mutations in 12 patients representing an overall incidence of 3.6% of EGFR mutants and 0.4% of all NSCLC patients tested. Seven patients were treated using EGFR TKI therapy with erlotinib. In all cases, T790M (n = 4,50%) or S768I (n = 4, 50%) occurred concurrently with another sensitising EGFR mutation, either L858R (n = 4, 34%) or exon 19 deletion (n = 8, 66%). Objective responses were seen in two patients (29%). Three further patients had stable disease lasting 6, 23 and 54 months respectively. The median progression-free survival was 24 months and the median overall survival was 34 months. All patients with baseline EGFR S768I mutations (n = 3) had an objective response or stable disease on erlotinib while two of four patients with T790M demonstrated de novo resistance. Conclusions: This is the largest Irish review of synchronous de novo EGFR mutations. The incidence of co-occurring EGFR mutations was 0.4% and erlotinib demonstrated activity in this cohort of patients. Ongoing trials will determine whether next-generation EGFR TKIs such as osimertinib are preferable as first-line therapy in these patients.
