      Background:
      NSCLC patients with activating mutations of the EGFR initially respond well to TKIs, but about half such patients develop TKI resistance through acquisition of a secondary T790M mutation. Whereas next-generation EGFR-TKIs have been developed to overcome T790M-mediated resistance, performance of a second tumor biopsy to assess T790M mutation status can be problematic.

      Methods:
      We developed and evaluated liquid biopsy assays for detection of TKI-sensitizing and T790M mutations of EGFR by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in EGFR mutation–positive patients with acquired EGFR-TKI resistance.

      Results:
      A total of 260 patients was enrolled between November 2014 and March 2015 at 29 centers for this West Japan Oncology Group (WJOG 8014LTR) study. Plasma specimens from all subjects as well as tumor tissue or malignant pleural effusion or ascites from 41 patients were collected after the development of EGFR-TKI resistance. All plasma samples were genotyped successfully and the results were reported to physicians within 14 days. TKI-sensitizing and T790M mutations were detected in plasma of 120 (46.2%) and 75 (28.8%) patients, respectively. T790M was detected in 56.7% of patients with plasma positive for TKI-sensitizing mutations. For the 41 patients with paired samples obtained after acquisition of EGFR-TKI resistance, the concordance for mutation detection by ddPCR in plasma compared with tumor tissue or malignant fluid specimens was 78.0% for TKI-sensitizing mutations and 65.9% for T790M.

      Conclusion:
      Noninvasive genotyping by ddPCR with cell-free DNA extracted from plasma is a promising approach to the detection of gene mutations during targeted treatment.

      OA08.02 - Phase II Study of Erlotinib in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with Leptomeningeal Metastasis (LOGIK1101) (ID 5099)

      Background:
      Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) occur in almost 5% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) and are associated with a poor prognosis. To date, no prospective study has identified active chemotherapy for NSCLC pts with LM. In retrospective studies, EGFR-TKI treatment is reported to be effective in the treatment of LM. We conducted a multi-center, single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of erlotinib in pts with LM.

      Methods:
      NSCLC pts with cytologically confirmed LM were eligible and received erlotinib 150mg daily. Overall cytological response rate (ORR; defined “number of pts who achieves complete remission in CSF / number of all pts”), time to LM progression (TTP), overall survival (OS) and pharmacokinetics were analyzed. Under the null hypothesis, the regimen would be rejected if confirmed ORR was 5% or less. This study was closed because of low accrual with only 21 of required 32 pts (66 %) accrued.

      Results:
      From Dec 2011 to May 2015, 21 pts (17 pts with EGFR mutation) were enrolled. CSFs available for EGFR mutation analysis (N=17) were all EGFR T790M negative. ORR was 30 % (95%CI 12 -54 %). Median TTP was 2.3 months. Median OS was 3.1 months. Significantly longer TTP and OS were observed in EGFR-mutant than in EGFR-wild type (P=0.0054 and P<0.0001, respectively). Seven pts survived longer than 6 months. CSF penetration rate (Mean + SD) was 3.3 + 0.8 %. There was no correlation between CSF concentration and clinical efficacy.

      Conclusion:
      Erlotinib treatment for LM is active, especially in EGFR-mutant. Our findings suggest that erlotinib could represent a treatment option for EGFR mutated pts. CSF penetration in LM patients is equivalent to those in previous reports. Table1. Summary of ORR, TPP and OS

      ORR (%) mTTP (M) mOS (M)

      EGFR wild (N=3) 0 0.7 0.8
