      Background

      Clinical practice guidelines advocate molecular profiling as a part of the evaluation of advanced NSCLC, with ctDNA based profiling being an option for those with insufficient tissue. Thorough prospective clinical validation studies of NGS based ctDNA assays are lacking. Here we report the multi-centered prospective clinical validation of a ctDNA NGS panel for stratification of patients with advanced untreated NSCLC.

      InVisionFirst™ (Inivata) is a ctDNA NGS assay for detection of genomic alterations in 36 genes commonly mutated in NSCLC and other cancers. 264 patients with untreated advanced NSCLC were prospectively recruited by 41 US centers. 178 patients had tumour tissue available for molecular profiling (predominantly by NGS) and the remaining 86 patients without tissue were included to compare ctDNA profiles obtained from patients with and without tissue for profiling.

      A total of 204 patients (77.3%) had detectable ctDNA alterations. Using tissue results as the reference, overall concordance for the full 36 genes in the InVisionFirst™ panel with matched tissue profiling was 97.8% with 82.9% PPV, 98.5% NPV, 70.6% sensitivity and 99.2% specificity. Considering a subgroup of 8 genes that can influence routine clinical patient management (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, ERBB2, MET, BRAF, KRAS, STK11) the PPV was 93.7%, 96.8% NPV, 72.4% sensitivity and 99.4% specificity. Excluding patients with undetectable ctDNA, these figures become 93.7% PPV, 98.4% NPV, 87.3% sensitivity and 99.3% specificity. The observed pattern of genomic changes seen in ctDNA was consistent across patients with and without tissue for profiling. Across the whole study, 44 patients with actionable alterations were identified by ctDNA testing compared to only 36 by tissue testing. 47% of patients tested by ctDNA had an actionable alteration or an alteration that is generally mutually exclusive for such actionable changes such as KRAS or STK11.

      The InVisionFirst™ assay demonstrates excellent concordance with tissue profiling in this multi-centered prospective clinical validation study. The performance of this assay in terms of overall sensitivity and specificity appears comparable if not higher than other established commercial ctDNA assays. Utilization of InVisionFirst™ ctDNA testing led to the detection of 22% more actionable alterations than standard of care tissue testing in this study supporting its use for the molecular stratification of patients with advanced NSCLC. Further analyses on the features associated with detectable ctDNA signatures are ongoing.
