Title Heterogeneity and Coexistence of T790M and T790 Wild-Type Resistant Subclones Drive Mixed Response to Third-Generation Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors in Lung Cancer.
URL
Abstract Text Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors like nazartinib are active against EGFR mutation-positive lung cancers with T790M-mediated acquired resistance to initial anti-EGFR treatment, but some patients have mixed responses.Multiple serial tumor and liquid biopsies were obtained from two patients before, during, and after treatment with nazartinib. Next-generation sequencing and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction were performed to assess heterogeneity and clonal dynamics.We observed the simultaneous emergence of T790M-dependent and -independent clones in both patients. Serial plasma droplet digital polymerase chain reaction illustrated shifts in relative clonal abundance in response to various systemic therapies, confirming a molecular basis for the clinical mixed radiographic responses observed.Heterogeneous responses to treatment targeting a solitary resistance mechanism can be explained by coexistent tumor subclones harboring distinct genetic signatures. Serial liquid biopsies offer an opportunity to monitor clonal dynamics and the emergence of resistance and may represent a useful tool to guide therapeutic strategies.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
