Abstract
Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are drivers for a subset of lung cancers. Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) recently approved for the treatment of T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, acquired resistance to osimertinib is evident and resistance mechanisms remain incompletely defined. The EGFR G724S mutation was detected using hybrid-capture based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and a hybrid-capture based circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays in two cases of EGFR-driven lung adenocarcinoma in patients who had progressed on osimertinib treatment. This study demonstrates the importance of both tissue and blood based hybrid-capture based genomic profiling at disease progression to identifying novel resistance mechanisms in the clinic.
