Prospective evaluation of NGS-based liquid biopsy in untreated late stage non-squamous lung carcinoma in a single institution
Journal of Translational Medicine(2020)
摘要
NGS from plasma samples in non-squamous cell lung carcinoma (NSCC) can aid in the detection of actionable genomic alterations. However, the absolute clinical value of NGS in liquid biopsy (LB) made at baseline is currently uncertain. We assessed the impact of plasma-based NGS using an in-house test and an outsourced test in comparison to a routine molecular pathology workflow. Twenty-four advanced/metastatic treatment-naïve NSCC patients were prospectively included. NGS analyses were conducted both in-house using the Oncomine cfTNA Panel and in an external testing center using the Foundation Liquid assay. NGS analysis and/or specific molecular based assays were conducted in parallel on tissue or cytological samples. Both LB tests were well correlated. Tissue NGS results were obtained in 67% of patients and demonstrated good correlation with LB assays. Activating EGFR mutations were detected using LB tests in three patients. PD-L1 expression assessed in tissue sections enabled the initiation of pembrolizumab treatment in five patients. NGS from LB is feasible in routine clinical practice using an in-house or an outsourced test at baseline. However, the impact on therapy selection was limited in this small series of patients and LB was not able to replace tissue-based testing in our hands.
