| Sumario: | Abstract The assessment of EGFR mutations is recommended for the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Presence of EGFR mutation is associated with response or resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI). Liquid biopsy is nowadays widely used for the detection of resistance to EGFR-TKI. We evaluated here the performance of the Idylla ctEGFR mutation assay for the detection of EGFR mutations in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in plasma from patients with NSCLC. Previously characterized plasma samples from 38 patients with NSCLC were analysed using 2 different analytical conditions (C1 and C2). The limit of detection (LOD) was evaluated using 2 mL of healthy donor plasma spiked with commercial DNA controls. Overall agreement, sensitivity and specificity were 92.1%, 86.7% and 95.7% for C1 condition respectively and 94.7%, 86.7% and 100% for C2 condition respectively. The T790M secondary resistance mutation was detected in two samples out of 3. The Idylla system was able to detect the exon 19 deletion from 6 copies/mL and up to 91 copies/mL for the G719S mutation. These results support that the Idylla ctEGFR mutation assay is a rapid option for the detection of EGFR hotspots mutations in plasma samples, however a particular attention is needed for its interpretation. |
