ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The literature on de novo EGFRT790M-mutant patients diagnosed with lung cancer is limited, and there is currently no consensus concerning the most effective treatment protocols. This study aimed to investigate the genomic characteristics of de novoEGFRT790M-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and provide insights into its clinical response and resistance mechanism to third-generation EGFR-TKIs.METHODS:
Next-generation sequencing was utilized to screen a substantial cohort of 4,228 treatment-naïve patients from the Mygene genomic database to identifythe de novo EGFR-T790M mutation. Meanwhile, we recruited 83 individuals diagnosed with lung cancer who harbored de novo EGFRT790M mutation in the real world. In addition, 166 patients who acquired EGFR-T790M mutation after becoming resistant to first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs were included as a comparison cohort.RESULTS:
De novo EGFRT790M mutation identified by next-generation sequencing is rare (â¼1.3 %) in Chinese lung cancer patients. The relative variant allele frequency (VAF) of de novo EGFRT790M mutation was either comparable to or significantly lower than those of EGFR-activating mutations. Patients with de novo-T790M mutations exhibited less favorable clinical outcomes when administered third-generation EGFR-TKIs as first-line therapy thanthose with 19del mutationsdue to a high overlap rate in EGFR p.L858R mutation. In patients with a de novo EGFRT790M mutation, no correlation was observed between T790M clonality and treatment outcomes with third-generation EGFR-TKIs. In contrast, the sub-clonality of the T790M mutation detrimentally affected the third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment efficacy in patients with acquired T790M mutation. Potential resistance mechanisms of third-generation EGFR TKIs in NSCLC patients with de novo or acquired EGFRT790M mutations included EGFR p.C797S in cis or EGFR p.E709X mutation, as well as activation of bypass pathways.CONCLUSIONS:
The present study characterized the uncommon but unique de novo EGFRT790M-mutant NSCLC and laid a foundation for designing future clinical trials in the setting of uncommon EGFR mutation.Palabras clave
