Real-World Study on Implementation of Genomic Tests for Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma in Brazil. (PubMed, JCO Glob Oncol)
This study provides data on the molecular epidemiology of lung adenocarcinoma in Brazil, confirming high prevalence of EGFR mutations, ALK fusions, and MET exon 14 skipping alteration. Biomarker detection is largely affected by biospecimen collection and processing, with one third of the patients eligible for non-NGS testing only, which presents reduced coverage and sensitivity for actionable drivers.

Immunotherapy in Patients with Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Under-Represented by Clinical Trials. (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
This gap may be driven by the under-representation of important patient populations, including populations defined by clinical or molecular characteristics. In this review, we summarize the data outlining the evidence of ICIs in patients with poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS), underlying autoimmune disease (AID), older age, active brain metastases (BMs), and molecular aberrations such as EGFR mutations, ALK fusions, BRAF mutations and ROS1 fusions.

An observational study on the efficacy of targeted therapy for pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
The EGFR mutation, ALK fusion gene, and MET exon 14 skipping mutation were detected in patients with pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma in clinical practice, and some patients achieved long survival times after receiving targeted therapy. Further investigation is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of targeted therapy for pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma.

Comprehensive genomic profiling provides patients access to novel matched therapies in a diverse real-world cohort of advanced lung cancer patients (ESMO 2024)
In a real-world, retrospective analysis of a cohort of advanced NSCLC patients, most oncologists utilized CGP to identify and treat patients with guideline-recommended variant matched targeted therapy, with adherence rates varying by variant. Importantly, even patients that received CGP results prior to FDA approval of novel therapies, received matched therapy once they were included in guidelines.

Real-World Clinical Performance of a DNA-Based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Assay for Detecting Targetable Fusions in Nonsquamous NSCLC. (PubMed, Oncologist)
A well-designed DNA CGP assay is capable of robust fusion detection and these fusion calls are reliable for informing clinical decision-making. While DNA CGP detects most driver fusions, the clinical impact of fusion detection is substantial for individual patients and exhaustive efforts, inclusive of additional RNA-based testing, should be considered when an oncogenic driver is not clearly identified.

The test detected all the expected ALK, RET, NTRK1, and ROS1 fusion isoforms and MET exon 14-skipping splice variants. The average TAT from extracted nucleic acids to the final variant report was 18.3 h. The Oncomine Dx Express Test in combination with the Ion Torrent Genexus System is a CE-IVD-compliant, performant, and multicenter reproducible method for NGS detection of actionable biomarkers from a range of tumor samples, providing results in a short TAT that could support timely decision- making for targeted therapeutic interventions.

RNA-based NGS can be used to detect gene fusions in NSCLC cytology cases with high concordance with FISH results. However, RNA-based NGS may have high failure rates and therefore a low threshold for reflexing inadequate cases to an orthogonal testing method is essential for comprehensive genomic profiling.

SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE AND CLINICAL TRIAL REVIEW SHOWS TARGETABLE KINASE FUSIONS ARE COMMON IN PEDIATRIC, ADOLESCENT, AND YOUNG ADULT SOFT TISSUE SARCOMAS BUT CLINICAL TRIAL OPPORTUNITIES REMAIN RARE (CTOS 2023)
Clinical trials such as Larotrectinib for NTRK fusions show high response rates to molecularly targeted therapy (MTT) matched to TKFs in pediatric and AYA STSs... To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review of TKFs in pediatric and AYA STSs. While STSs are a heterogeneous group of diseases with distinct histologies, we observe a significant overlap of TKFs across diseases demonstrating a broad need for relevant therapies in these patients. We also observe a discordance between the percentage of pediatric and AYA patients < 18 years old with actionable TKFs and available trials, particularly evident in the ALK and ROS1 TKF-positive patient population.

Despite achieving 5-year survival, two-thirds did not achieve 10-year survival. The increase of deaths from non-lung cancer in the long-term survivor, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing cardiovascular and other cancer complications.

ctDNA analysis of SAF-189s efficacy in ALK+ advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ESMO 2023)
Gene co-occurrence survival analysis showed that mPFS of pts harboring FAT3/FAT4 mutations were significantly shorter than those without FAT3/FAT4 mutations (8.9 mo vs 16.5 mo, p=0.012). Conclusions Clinical utility of ctDNA was demonstrated, not only at baseline by identifying fusion types and subgroups of ALK+ NSCLC pts that may benefit more from SAF-189s, but also at progression by tracking ALK-resistant mutations.

Real-world data analysis of genomic profiling-matched targeted therapy outcomes in patients with fusion-positive NSCLC (ESMO 2023)
More importantly, CGP-matched guideline-recommended treatment is associated with improved rwOS. Future studies are needed to understand the gap in compliance with matched targeted therapy.

High Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Non-small cell lung cancer and RET fusions (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
Patients with NSCLC and RET fusions have a high incidence of thromboembolic events with 45% of patients experiencing a TE. Ischemic stroke was common in more than 18% of patients, particularly in males and before RET inhibitors. Anticoagulant therapy did not prevent stroke in most cases, however one third were asymptomatic.

CARMA-BROS: Cancers with Rare Molecular Alterations - Basket-umbrella Real-world Observational Study (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
CARMA-BROS is an adaptive observational basket-umbrella study platform suitable for generating high-quality RWD for regulatory and health funding agencies, for clinical evidence generation, and for quality assessments in health care. Though not originally specific for lung cancer, CARMA-BROS has many key elements that benefit lung cancer RWD evidence collection.

Liquid Biopsy-based Umbrella Trial for Advanced NSCLC: Results of Phase 2 Plasma ALK-positive Cohort (A-Liquid) (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
Although precision medicine based on liquid NGS remains challenging due to the low PPA for fusion genes, alectinib is active in highly selected NSCLC populations with ALK rearrangement detected by both tissue-based assays and liquid NGS. Additional analysis on resistance mechanisms using paired blood samples will be presented.

Real World Outcomes after Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy in Patients with Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Europe (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
In this European cohort of patients with mNSCLC having disease progression on anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 and PDC, treatment regimens were heterogenous and predominantly included non-platinum chemotherapies. Poor clinical outcomes demonstrate an unmet clinical need that warrant more efficacious therapies for anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 and PDC-refractory patients.
