: Although molecular profiling at diagnosis has traditionally relied on direct sampling of neoplastic tissue, cancer clonal evolution represents a critical obstacle to use primary tissue biopsies to guide clinical decision-making at the time of progressive disease. Liquid biopsies might offer enormous advantages over tissue biopsies, tracking in real-time temporal-based tumor dynamics following each line of treatment. Here, we compared two liquid biopsy assays, specifically real-time polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, to track the KRAS G12C mutation at onset of progression from previous lines of therapy. The KRAS G12C mutation was acquired at the time of progressive disease in 24% of patients. Furthermore, all patients with KRAS G12C mutation-positive tissue became negative in ctDNA at progressive disease. The presence of other somatic mutations in all these samples confirmed the tumor origin of the circulating DNA. This pilot study suggests that in the assessment of the plasma KRAS G12C mutation as a druggable target, real-time PCR assay Idylla might be a suitable approach to better match patients to interventional biomarker-targeted therapies.

Abstract
: Although molecular profiling at diagnosis has traditionally relied on direct sampling of neoplastic tissue, cancer clonal evolution represents a critical obstacle to use primary tissue biopsies to guide clinical decision-making at the time of progressive disease. Liquid biopsies might offer enormous advantages over tissue biopsies, tracking in real-time temporal-based tumor dynamics following each line of treatment. Here, we compared two liquid biopsy assays, specifically real-time polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, to track the KRAS G12C mutation at onset of progression from previous lines of therapy. The KRAS G12C mutation was acquired at the time of progressive disease in 24% of patients. Furthermore, all patients with KRAS G12C mutation-positive tissue became negative in ctDNA at progressive disease. The presence of other somatic mutations in all these samples confirmed the tumor origin of the circulating DNA. This pilot study suggests that in the assessment of the plasma KRAS G12C mutation as a druggable target, real-time PCR assay Idylla might be a suitable approach to better match patients to interventional biomarker-targeted therapies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
