      Background

      With the adoption of broad genomic profiling, interpretation of genomic data in NSCLC has become increasingly complex. Approved targeted therapies against oncogenic driver mutations have improved clinical outcomes for patients whose lung cancers harbor these genomic alterations. However, for other patients, the benefit of broad genomic sequencing is not fully proven. Multidisciplinary molecular tumor boards (MTB) may improve clinical outcomes by appropriately matching targeted treatments.

      We retrospectively reviewed clinical, pathologic, and molecular data of metastatic lung cancer patients presented at the UC Davis MTB from January 2016 through May 2017. Genomic alterations were identified by hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling to a median coverage depth of >500X for 315 cancer-related genes (FoundationOne®).

      Out of 48 patients presented, 19 (39.6%) had lung cancer. Fourteen patients (73.7%) had adenocarcinoma, 1 SCLC, 1 squamous, 2 neuroendocrine, and 1 mixed histology. Seventeen patients were available for follow-up.

      Median number of prior treatments was 2 (range: 0-7) and median number of prior targeted therapies was 2 (range: 0-5). On average, each tumor sample had 5.3 genomic alterations (range 2 – 14). Every sample had ³1 actionable mutation, in that matched targeted therapy was available in the form of an FDA-approved drug for NSCLC, FDA-approved drug in another tumor type, or genomically informed clinical trial. Tumors harbored an EGFR mutation (N=7), HER2 amplification (N=2), BRAF V600E (N=2), or mutation in BRCA1 (N=1), KIT (N=1), or PTCH1 (N=1). All 7 patients with an EGFR mutation had previously received EGFR-targeted therapy, six with progressive disease (PD) on prior EGFR-TKI.

      Thirteen patients (76.5%) received targeted therapy, including FDA-approved therapy for NSCLC (N=4), FDA-approved therapy for another tumor type (N=6), or a genomically informed clinical trial (N=3). The other four patients were either on an immunotherapy clinical trial (N=2) or could not tolerate treatment (N=2). Out of the 13 patients who received targeted therapy, 4 patients had a partial response (31%) (3 EGFR, 1 BRAF V600E), all other patients had stable disease or PD. Median PFS on MTB-selected treatment was 4.8 months (range: 25% 2.2 – 75% 10.7 months).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      MTB at an academic medical center matched a high percentage of patients to either a targeted treatment or clinical trials with targeted therapies or immunotherapy. A subset of patients had clinical benefit to targeted therapies in this pretreated population. Multidisciplinary expertise at MTB can guide treatment for NSCLC, but new targeted treatments are needed to improve clinical outcomes.
