Abstract
PURPOSE KRAS is the most commonly mutated driver oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sotorasib and adagrasib, KRASG12C inhibitors, have been granted accelerated US approval; however, hepatotoxicity is a common side effect with higher rates in patients treated with sotorasib proximal to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of adagrasib after discontinuation of sotorasib because of treatment-related grade 3 hepatotoxicity through real-world and clinical cases. METHODS Medical records from five patients treated in real-world settings were retrospectively reviewed. Patients had locally advanced or metastatic KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC and received adagrasib after sotorasib in the absence of extracranial disease progression. Additional data were collected for 12 patients with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC enrolled in a phase Ib cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study and previously treated with sotorasib. The end points associated with both drugs included timing and severity of hepatotoxicity, best overall response, and duration of therapy. RESULTS All patients were treated with CPIs followed by sotorasib (initiated 0-64 days after CPI). All five real-world patients experienced hepatotoxicity with sotorasib that led to treatment discontinuation, whereas none experienced treatment-related hepatotoxicity with subsequent adagrasib treatment. Three patients from KRYSTAL-1 transitioned from sotorasib to adagrasib because of hepatotoxicity; one experienced grade 3 ALT elevation on adagrasib that resolved with therapy interruption and dose reduction. CONCLUSION Adagrasib may have a distinct hepatotoxicity profile from sotorasib and is more easily combined with CPIs either sequentially or concurrently. These differences may be used to inform clinical decisions regarding an initial KRASG12C inhibitor for patients who recently discontinued a CPI or experience hepatotoxicity on sotorasib.

Abstract
PURPOSE Liquid biopsy (LBx) for tumor profiling is increasingly used, but concerns remain regarding negative results. A lack of results may truly reflect tumor genomics, or it may be a false negative that would be clarified by tissue testing. A method of distinguishing between these scenarios could help clarify when follow-on tissue testing is valuable. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Here we evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) tumor fraction (TF), a quantification of ctDNA in LBx samples, for utility in identifying true negative results.We assessed concordance between LBx and tissue-based results, stratified by ctDNA TF, in a real-world genomic data set of paired samples across multiple disease types. We also evaluated the frequency of tissue results identifying driver alterations in lung cancer patients after negative LBx in a real-world clinicogenomic database. RESULTS The positive percent agreement and negative predictive value between liquid and tissue samples for driver alterations increased from 63% and 66% for all samples to 98% and 97% in samples with ctDNA TF ≥1%. Among 505 lung cancer patients with no targetable driver alterations found by LBx who had subsequent tissue-based profiling, 37% had a driver, all of which had ctDNA TF <1%. CONCLUSIONS Lung cancer patients with negative LBx and ctDNA TF ≥1% are unlikely to have a driver detected on confirmatory tissue testing; such informative negative results may benefit instead from prompt treatment initiation. Conversely, negative LBx with ctDNA TF <1% will commonly have a driver identified by follow-on tissue testing and should be prioritized for reflex testing.

Abstract
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the global most common chronic liver disease. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an inflammatory subtype of NAFLD, has been shown to significantly increase the risk of colorectal adenoma (CRA). Therefore, from the perspective of bioinformatics analysis, the potential mechanisms of NASH/NAFLD-CRA can be explored. Methods In this study, we screened the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and core effect pathways between NASH and CRA by analyzing the single-cell data of CRA patients and the high-throughput sequencing data (GSE37364 and GSE89632) in the online database. We screened therapeutic targets and biomarkers through gene function classification, pathway enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction network analysis. In terms of single cell data, we screened the core effect pathway and specific signal pathway of cell communication through cell annotation and cell communication analyses. The purpose of the study was to find potential biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and related effect pathways of NASH-CRA. Results NASH-CRA comorbidities were concentrated in inflammatory regulation-related pathways, and the core genes of disease progression included IL1B, FOSL1, EGR1, MYC, PTGS2, and FOS. The results suggested the key pathway of NASH-CRA might be the WNT pathway. The main cell signal communication pathways included WNT2B - (FZD6 + LRP5) and WNT2B - (FZD6 + LRP6). The send-receive process occurred in embryonic stem cells. Conclusions The core genes of NASH-CRA (FOS, EGR1, MYC, PTGS2, FOSL1, and IL1B) may participate in inflammation and immune responses through up-regulation in the process of disease occurrence, interfering with the pathophysiological process of CRA and NASH. NASH-CRA produces cell signal communication in the WNT pathway sent by WNT2B and received by FZD6, LRP5, and LRP6 in embryonic stem cells. These findings may help formulate early diagnosis and treatment strategies for CRA in NAFLD/NASH patients, and further explore corresponding prognostic markers and potential approaches. The significance of scRNA-seq in exploring tumor heterogeneity lies in promoting our understanding of the expression program of tumor related genes in tumor development patterns. However, the biggest challenge is that this analysis may miss out on some biologically significant gene expression programs.

Abstract
AIM To assess the impact of untreated dental caries and its severity on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of Kuwaiti preschool children and their caregivers. METHODS Participants were 4- and 5-year-old kindergarten children attending preselected public schools from one of the Governorates in Kuwait. Early childhood caries (ECC) was evaluated by clinical examinations and presented using decayed, missed, filled teeth/surface (dmft/dmfs). The clinical consequences of untreated dental caries were assessed using the pufa (pulp, ulcers, fistula, abscess) index for primary teeth. A structured questionnaire obtained demographic information of children and their caregivers. OHRQoL was assessed using the Arabic version of Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (A-ECOHIS). RESULTS Among the 334 participants, 171 were kindergarten level-1 (KG1), and 163 were level-2 (KG2). The overall prevalence of dental caries was 78.9% for KG1 children and 67.4% for KG2 children. Decayed teeth were the main component for both dmft (84%) and dmfs (68%). The total mean (SD) pufa score was 0.54 (1.5), and about 19.2% of participants had at least one tooth with pufa > 0. A total of 207 A-ECOHIS were completed. Both family and child impact scores were significantly higher for children with a dmft score of 1 or more (p < 0.001) or with one or more pufa (p < 0.001). Child impact section scores were significantly higher with the increasing degrees of untreated caries (dt) (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION The severity of untreated dental caries and caries experience had a negative impact on the OHRQoL of Kuwaiti preschool children and their families. Using the pufa index had provided additional information about the effect of the caries severity on the OHRQoL than assessing the caries experience alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE Profiling of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is increasingly adopted in the management of solid tumors, concurrent with increased availability of more comprehensive ctDNA panels. However, variable ctDNA shed can result in variable assay sensitivity. We studied the relationship between ctDNA tumor fraction (TF) and detection of actionable alterations across cancer types. METHODS A total of 23,482 liquid biopsies (LBx) submitted between September 2020 and October 2021 were sequenced using a hybrid capture panel that reports genomic alterations (GAs) and genomic biomarkers across 324 cancer-related genes. The primary end points were the prevalence of targetable GAs by cancer type and detection in relationship to ctDNA TF. Sensitivity of detection in LBx was assessed in 1,289 patients with available tissue results. RESULTS 94% (n = 22,130) of LBx had detectable ctDNA, with a median TF of 2.2%. LBx profiling detected GAs in National Comprehensive Cancer Network category 1 genes in 37% of lung, 30% of prostate, 36% of breast, and 51% of colon cancer cases. Potential germline GAs flagged on clinical reports were detected in genes including <i>BRCA1/2</i>, <i>PALB2</i>, <i>CHEK2</i>, and <i>ATM.</i> Polyclonal mutations in genes associated with resistance such as <i>AR</i>, <i>ESR1</i>, <i>RB1</i>, and <i>NF1</i> were detected. The sensitivity of LBx to detect driver alterations identified in tissue biopsy from the same patient ranged from 58% to 86% but was consistently at or near 100% in cases with TF ≥ 10%. CONCLUSION Elevated ctDNA shed is associated with both high sensitivity and negative predictive value for detection of actionable GAs. The presence of elevated TF suggests adequate tumor profiling and may reduce the value of subsequent reflex to confirmatory tissue testing in patients with negative LBx results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This Phase 1/2 study (NCT02349633) explored the safety and antitumor activity of PF-06747775 (oral, third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer after progression on an EGFR inhibitor. METHODS Phase 1 was a dose-escalation study of PF-06747775 monotherapy (starting dose: 25 mg once daily [QD]). Phase 1b/2 evaluated PF-06747775 monotherapy at recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D; Cohort 1); PF-06747775 200 mg QD plus palbociclib (starting dose: 100 mg QD orally; Cohort 2A); and PF-06747775 monotherapy at RP2D in a Japanese lead-in cohort. RESULTS Sixty-five patients were treated. Median treatment duration was 40.1 weeks. Monotherapy maximum tolerated dose was not determined. Two patients in Cohort 2A had dose-limiting toxicities. The monotherapy RP2D was estimated to be 200 mg QD. Most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (69.2%), paronychia (69.2%), and rash (60.0%). Most AEs were grades 1-3. Overall, objective response rate (90% confidence interval [CI]) was 41.5% (31.2-52.5%). Median (range) duration of response was 11.09 (2.70-34.57) months. Median progression-free survival (90% CI) was 8.1 (5.4-23.3) months. CONCLUSIONS PF-06747775 had a manageable safety profile and the study design highlights important considerations for future anti-EGFR agent development.

Abstract
Introduction This multicenter review evaluated the efficacy and safety of osimertinib dose escalation for central nervous system (CNS) progression developing on osimertinib 80 mg in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Methods Retrospective review identified 105 patients from eight institutions with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with osimertinib 160 mg daily between October 2013 and January 2020. Radiographic responses were clinically assessed, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used. We defined CNS disease control as the interval from osimertinib 160 mg initiation to CNS progression or discontinuation of osimertinib 160 mg. Results Among 105 patients treated with osimertinib 160 mg, 69 were escalated for CNS progression, including 24 treated with dose escalation alone (cohort A), 34 who received dose-escalated osimertinib plus concurrent chemotherapy and/or radiation (cohort B), and 11 who received osimertinib 160 mg without any prior 80 mg exposure. The median duration of CNS control was 3.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7-5.8) in cohort A, 5.1 months (95% CI, 3.1-6.5) in cohort B, and 4.2 months (95% CI 1.6-not reached) in cohort C. Across all cohorts, the median duration of CNS control was 6.0 months (95% CI, 5.1-9.0) in isolated leptomeningeal progression (n = 27) and 3.3 months (95% CI, 1.0-3.1) among those with parenchymal-only metastases (n = 23). Patients on osimertinib 160 mg experienced no severe or unexpected side effects. Conclusion Among patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC experiencing CNS progression on osimertinib 80 mg daily, dose escalation to 160 mg provided modest benefit with CNS control lasting approximately 3 to 6 months and seemed more effective in patients with isolated leptomeningeal CNS progression.

Abstract
Background KRAS gene mutations are the most common driver oncogenes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted an analysis of the immunological characteristics including tumor mutation burden and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression of different subtypes of KRAS in 2880 KRAS-mutant NSCLC patients. Methods A total of 2,880 patients with NSCLC were included in the study. Somatic mutation data were provided by Berry Oncology (Fujian, China), Geneplus BioTech (Beijing, China), Nanjing Geneseeq Technology Inc (Nanjing, China), and Burning Rock Biotech (Guangzhou, China). Z-scores were used to unify all data. SPSS 20.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) software was used for statistical analyses. All scatter plots and boxplot maps were drawn using GraphPad Prism 8. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) expression was defined by the number of somatic mutations. The PD-L1 clone 22C3 pharmDx kit was used to measure the expression level of PD-L1. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results We identified 2,880 patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC. The percentage level of TMB and expression of PD-L1 was significantly decreased in KRAS Q61X-mutant lung cancer tissue and blood samples (n=162). The percentage level of TMB and expression of PD-L1 in KRAS G13X-mutant lung cancer specimens was significantly increased (n=190). Conclusions The findings demonstrate a decreased level of TMB and expression of PD-L1 in KRAS Q61X-mutant lung cancer and the increased level of TMB and expression of PD-L1 in KRAS G13X-mutant lung cancer. Further work is needed to identify if the subtype of KRAS mutation could be a potential therapeutic biomarker in lung cancer patients with KRAS mutation. TMB data was consistently verified in tissue and blood samples and confirmed the feasibility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) verification in plasma samples. Our research may help to provide more individualized treatment options for NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Cancers harboring mutations in the Kirsten rat sarcoma homolog (KRAS) gene have been associated with poor prognosis and lack of targeted therapies. KRAS mutations occur in approximately one in four patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KRAS G12C mutations harbored at approximately 11-16%. Research into KRAS-driven tumors and analytical chemistry have borne a new class of selective small molecules against the KRAS G12C isoform. Phase II data for sotorasib (AMG510) has demonstrated a 37.1% overall response rate (ORR). Adagrasib (MRTX849) has demonstrated a 45% ORR in an early study. While single agent efficacy has been seen, initial data suggest combination approaches are an opportunity to improve outcomes. Here, we present perspectives on the initial progress in targeting KRAS G12C, examine co-mutations evident in KRAS G12C NSCLC, and comment on potential future combinatorial approaches including SHP2, SOS1, MEK, EGFR, mTOR, CDK, and checkpoint blockade which are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. As of May 28, 2021, sotorasib has achieved US FDA approval for patients with KRAS G12C mutant lung cancer after one line of a prior therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The usefulness of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in detecting mutations and monitoring treatment response has not been well studied beyond a few actionable biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RESEARCH QUESTION How does the usefulness of ctDNA analysis compare with that of solid tumor biopsy analysis in patients with NSCLC? METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 370 adult patients with NSCLC treated at the City of Hope between November 2015 and August 2019 to assess the usefulness of ctDNA in mutation identification, survival, concordance with matched tissue samples in 32 genes, and tumor evolution. RESULTS A total of 1,688 somatic mutations were detected in 473 ctDNA samples from 370 patients with NSCLC. Of the 473 samples, 177 showed at least one actionable mutation with currently available Food and Drug Administration-approved NSCLC therapies. MET and CDK6 amplifications co-occurred with BRAF amplifications (false discovery rate [FDR], < 0.01), and gene-level mutations were mutually exclusive in KRAS and EGFR (FDR, 0.0009). Low cumulative percent ctDNA levels were associated with longer progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.56; 95% CI, 0.37-0.85; P = .006). Overall survival was shorter in patients harboring BRAF mutations (HR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.24-4.6; P = .009), PIK3CA mutations (HR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.56-4.9; P < .001) and KRAS mutations (HR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.30-4.1; P = .004). Gene-level concordance was 93.8%, whereas the positive concordance rate was 41.6%. More mutations in targetable genes were found in ctDNA than in tissue biopsy samples. Treatment response and tumor evolution over time were detected in repeated ctDNA samples. INTERPRETATION Although ctDNA analysis exhibited similar usefulness to tissue biopsy analysis, more mutations in targetable genes were missed in tissue biopsy analyses. Therefore, the evaluation of ctDNA in conjunction with tissue biopsy samples may help to detect additional targetable mutations to improve clinical outcomes in advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
Abstract
Given the success of immunotherapy (IO), multiple IO-based options exist for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently used biomarkers do not fully predict clinical outcomes and response assessment remains limited to radiological evaluation. Dynamic biomarkers that evaluate both tumor and host immune responses to IO are needed. We studied patients with NSCLC that received IO and chemo-IO to identify predictive and longitudinal biomarkers of clinical response using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and plasma proteomic dynamics. We conducted deep targeted error-correction sequencing (TEC-Seq) of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and matched white blood cell (WBC) genomic DNA (gDNA) to identify ctDNA variants. We performed multiplexed antibody-based proximity extension assays of serial plasma samples to detect immune-related proteins. From separate training (n=31) and validation (n=29) cohorts, a total of 288 plasma cfDNA and 52 WBC gDNA specimens underwent TEC-Seq. A total of 260 variants were detected in plasma cfDNA and 78 variants in WBC gDNA. Almost a third of the plasma cfDNA variants (32%, n=61 of 188) were also found in WBC gDNA and filtered out. ctDNA variants were identified in 82% of patients (n=50). In the training cohort, longitudinal decreases in ctDNA variant levels were observed in patients with durable clinical benefit (DCB). Molecular response, defined as the loss of detectable ctDNA, was associated with longer progression-free (PFS; p=0.0004, log-rank) and overall survival (OS; p=0.017, log-rank). We incorporated on-treatment ctDNA dynamics including molecular response, recrudescence, and emergence of new variants into a logistic regression model to predict clinical benefit. This integrative model predicted DCB at a sensitivity of 84%, specificity of 76%, and with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90, better than baseline tumor PD-L1 expression alone (AUC 0.70, p=0.044, bootstrap method). In the validation cohort, molecular response was associated with longer PFS (p=0.00098, log-rank) and OS (p=0.0037, log-rank) and the integrative model predicted DCB at a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 78%, and AUC of 0.89. In a subset (n=28 of 31) of the training cohort, plasma proteomics analysis revealed that increased baseline levels of IL15 and DCN were independently associated with DCB (p<0.05, Mann-Whitney), suggesting that pre-existing IL-15-mediated T-cell activation and DCN-mediated TGF-beta signaling may enable IO response. Sustained longitudinal increases in CCL17 were associated with DCB (p=0.037, Mann Whitney), which may reflect T-cell chemotaxis to promote on-treatment IO response. In summary, we validated longitudinal ctDNA alongside exploratory plasma proteomics dynamics to characterize on-treatment anti-tumor responses to IO, and enable prediction of clinical responses in NSCLC.

Abstract
Precision treatment of cancer requires knowledge on active tumor driving signal transduction pathways to select the optimal effective targeted treatment. Currently only a subset of patients derive clinical benefit from mutation based targeted treatment, due to intrinsic and acquired drug resistance mechanisms. Phenotypic assays to identify the tumor driving pathway based on protein analysis are difficult to multiplex on routine pathology samples. In contrast, the transcriptome contains information on signaling pathway activity and can complement genomic analyses. Here we present the validation and clinical application of a new knowledge-based mRNA-based diagnostic assay platform (OncoSignal) for measuring activity of relevant signaling pathways simultaneously and quantitatively with high resolution in tissue samples and circulating tumor cells, specifically with very small specimen quantities. The approach uses mRNA levels of a pathway's direct target genes, selected based on literature for multiple proof points, and used as evidence that a pathway is functionally activated. Using these validated target genes, a Bayesian network model has been built and calibrated on mRNA measurements of samples with known pathway status, which is used next to calculate a pathway activity score on individual test samples. Translation to RT-qPCR assays enables broad clinical diagnostic applications, including small analytes. A large number of cancer samples have been analyzed across a variety of cancer histologies and benchmarked across normal controls. Assays have been used to characterize cell types in the cancer cell microenvironment, including immune cells in which activated and immunotolerant states can be distinguished. Results support the expectation that the assays provide information on cancer driving signaling pathways which is difficult to derive from next generation DNA sequencing analysis. Current clinical oncology applications have been complementary to genomic mutation analysis to improve precision medicine: (1) prediction of response and resistance to various therapies, especially targeted therapy and immunotherapy; (2) assessment and monitoring of therapy efficacy; (3) prediction of invasive cancer cell behavior and prognosis; (4) measurement of circulating tumor cells. Preclinical oncology applications lie in a better understanding of cancer behavior across cancer types, and in development of a pathophysiology-based cancer classification for development of novel therapies and precision medicine.

Abstract
9570 Background: Osimertinib (osi) is a 3rd generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for first line (1L) treatment of metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR Exon 19 del and L858R (representing > 80% of EGFR activating mutations) or in NSCLC with EGFRT790M (the most common resistance mutation to 1st or 2nd generation TKI). However, it has not been well-studied in EGFR-mutant NSCLC harboring less common EGFR activating mutations such as G719X, L861Q, S768I, and exon 20 insertion (ins), among others. Methods: We conducted a multi-institution, retrospective study approved on institutional IRB protocols in a series of patients (pts.) with metastatic NSCLC treated with osi who harbored at least one atypical EGFR mutation, excluding those with concurrent L858R, Exon 19 del, or T790M. Kaplan-Meier analyses were generated with SPSS, v25 (IBM Corp., USA). Response was assessed by RECIST 1.1 in evaluable pts. Time on osi was employed as a surrogate endpoint for clinical benefit in this retrospective analysis. Results: Fifty-one NSCLC pts with uncommon EGFR mutations were identified among six US institutions. Pt characteristics: 72.5% women, median age 65 yo (44-83 yo), 82.3% ECOG PS 0-1, 43.1% never smoker, 100% lung adenocarcinoma, 58.8% Caucasian, 25.5% Asian, 3.9% Black, 2.0% Hispanic, and 9.8% Other. The most frequent mutations were L861Q (35.3%, N = 18), G719X (27.5%, N = 14), and Exon 20 ins (15.7%, N = 8). Osi was used in the 1L setting in 39.2% (N = 20). Median time on osi was 7.1 months (mo.) in the overall cohort (95% CI, 5.4 to 8.8 mo.) and 8.9 mo. (95% CI, 7.0 to 10.8 mo.) in pts receiving 1L osi. Patients harboring G719X (N = 4) and L861Q (N = 10) mutations had a median time on 1L osimertinib of 5.8 mo. and 19.3 mo., respectively. One patient’s tumor had an EGFR exon 19 ins and was on 1L osi with a partial response for 16.8 months. Two patients with Exon 20 ins were on 1L osi for 9.3 mo. and 8 mo., respectively. Conclusions: In this largest known clinically annotated dataset of patients with atypical EGFR-mutations treated with osi, activity was noted, though 1L clinical benefit on osi appears lower in this multicenter US cohort than in E19del or L858R. These results are comparable to the recently published prospective phase II trial ( Cho et al, 2019) conducted in Korea. Patients with L861Q and Exon 19 insertion appeared to benefit the most from osi in this time on treatment retrospective analysis. More detailed analysis of this cohort is planned and further prospective studies are warranted to determine clinical benefit of osi amongst diverse atypical EGFR-mutations.

Abstract
9586 Background: High-dose osimertinib 160 mg QD (osi160) has activity in osi-naïve, EGFR+ NSCLC pts with CNS or leptomeningeal disease (LMD) per the BLOOM trial, but the role of dose-escalation for CNS progression (PD) and/or LMD that develops while on 80 mg QD (osi80) is unclear. We describe here our multi-institutional experience with osi160. Methods: 105 pts from 8 institutions with advanced EGFR+ NSCLC treated with osi160 were retrospectively reviewed. To assess the CNS efficacy of dose escalation for CNS PD, we focused on pts who escalated from osi80 to osi160 for CNS PD without the addition of chemo and/or RT during dose escalation (cohort A, 24 pts). We also examined osi escalation for CNS PD while receiving chemo and/or RT (cohort B, 34 pts) and those who started on osi160 for CNS PD as the initial osi dose without overlapping therapies (cohort C, 11 pts). Radiographic responses were clinically assessed via chart review of scan reports. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for time-to-event endpoints. We defined median duration of CNS disease control (MedDurCNSCon) on osi160 as time from the start of osi160 to CNS PD or discontinuation of osi160. Results: Among the 105 pts, 69 (26M, 43F; median age 57) EGFR+ NSCLC pts (29 del19, 31 L858R, 9 other) received osi160 for CNS PD between 10/2013 and 1/2020. Median lines of therapy pre-osi was 1 (range 0-8). While all 69 pts had CNS PD at the start of osi160, 61 (90%) had isolated CNS/LMD PD, without systemic PD. In cohort A, osi160 monotherapy had a MedDurCNSCon of 3.8 mos (95% CI, 1.7 – 5.8). Cohort A pts with isolated LMD (11) had MedDurCNSCon 5.8 mos (95% CI, 1.7 – 9) while those with parenchymal mets only (11) had MedDurCNSCon of 2 mos (95% CI, 1 - 4.9). In cohort B, osi160 in combination with RT (22) and/or chemo (14), had a MedDurCNSCon of 5.1 mos (95% CI, 3.1 – 6.5). In cohort C, osi160 monotherapy had a MedDurCNSCon of 4.2 mos (95% CI, 1.6 – NA). Pts on osi160 had no severe or life-threatening side effects. Conclusions: In this real-world cohort of EGFR+ NSCLC pts with CNS and/or LMD PD on osi80, dose escalation to 160 provided modest benefit with median 3.8 mos added CNS disease control. Dose escalation appeared more effective in pts with LMD versus parenchymal disease (MedDurCNSCon of 5.8 vs 2 mos). Treatment intensification with osi escalation plus RT and/or chemo appeared to confer about 1 month additional CNS disease control (power for comparison limited). Osi naïve pts started at 160 for CNS PD derived similar benefit. While limited by small numbers and retrospective design, this study suggests we need improved strategies to optimally manage CNS PD arising on osi80.

Abstract
Analyses of cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) have provided a non-invasive strategy for cancer diagnosis, the identification of molecular aberrations for treatment identification, and evaluation of tumor response. Sensitive and specific ctDNA sequencing strategies have allowed for implementation into clinical practice for the initial genotyping of patients and resistance monitoring. The specific need for EGFR mutation detection for the management of lung cancer patients has been an early imperative and has set the stage for non-invasive molecular profiling across other oncogenic drivers. Ongoing efforts are demonstrating the utility of ctDNA analyses in the initial genotyping of patients, the monitoring resistance clones, and the initial evaluation of response.

Abstract
Mushrooms have been consumed across the globe as cuisine’s ingredients specifically for
their Halal status, unique texture, and flavour. In this research, the potential of grey oyster
mushroom stems (Pleurotus sajor-caju) as meat replacer was explored to evaluate the
quality of imitation chicken nuggets (ICNs) production. Four formulations of ICNs were
prepared with different percentage of grey oyster mushroom stems to chickpea flour were:
A (60%:10%), B (55%:15%), C (50%:20%), and D (45%:25%). A commercial brand of
chicken nuggets was chosen as a control experiment. All nuggets were evaluated for
colour, texture, pH, and water activity, as well as proximate composition. Results found
that all ICNs were significantly higher (P<0.05) in lightness, chewiness, springiness,
water activity, and moisture than in control nugget. However, the a* value (green to red),
protein, fat, and carbohydrate contents of all ICNs were significantly lower (P<0.05) than
in control nugget. These findings also suggested that grey oyster mushroom stems could
be a great potential of an alternative Halal meat replacer in production of ICNs since the
hardness, cohesiveness, and pH of all ICNs were found similar (P>0.05) to control nugget.

Abstract
Importance Osimertinib mesylate is used globally to treat EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance mediated by the EGFR T790M mutation. Acquired resistance to osimertinib is a growing clinical challenge that is poorly understood. Objective To understand the molecular mechanisms of acquired resistance to osimertinib and their clinical behavior. Design, Setting, and Participants Patients with advanced NSCLC who received osimertinib for T790M-positive acquired resistance to prior EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor were identified from a multi-institutional cohort (n = 143) and a confirmatory trial cohort (NCT01802632) (n = 110). Next-generation sequencing of tumor biopsies after osimertinib resistance was performed. Genotyping of plasma cell-free DNA was studied as an orthogonal approach, including serial plasma samples when available. The study and analysis were finalized on November 9, 2017. Main Outcomes and Measures Mechanisms of resistance and their association with time to treatment discontinuation on osimertinib. Results Of the 143 patients evaluated, 41 (28 [68%] women) had tumor next-generation sequencing after acquired resistance to osimertinib. Among 13 patients (32%) with maintained T790M at the time of resistance, EGFR C797S was seen in 9 patients (22%). Among 28 individuals (68%) with loss of T790M, a range of competing resistance mechanisms was detected, including novel mechanisms such as acquired KRAS mutations and targetable gene fusions. Time to treatment discontinuation was shorter in patients with T790M loss (6.1 vs 15.2 months), suggesting emergence of pre-existing resistant clones; this finding was confirmed in a validation cohort of 110 patients with plasma cell-free DNA genotyping performed after osimertinib resistance. In studies of serial plasma levels of mutant EGFR, loss of T790M at resistance was associated with a smaller decrease in levels of the EGFR driver mutation after 1 to 3 weeks of therapy (100% vs 83% decrease; P = .01). Conclusions and Relevance Acquired resistance to osimertinib mediated by loss of the T790M mutation is associated with early resistance and a range of competing resistance mechanisms. These data provide clinical evidence of the heterogeneity of resistance in advanced NSCLC and a need for clinical trial strategies that can overcome multiple concomitant resistance mechanisms or strategies for preventing such resistance.

Abstract
Tumor heterogeneity was associated with treatment outcome of metastatic cancers but few studies have examined whether tumor heterogeneity in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be used to predict treatment outcome. ctDNA analysis was performed in 37 HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients treated with pyrotinib. Patients with high tumor heterogeneity had significantly worse PFS outcomes, with a median PFS of 30.0 weeks vs. 60.0 weeks for patients with low tumor heterogeneity (hazard ratio [HR], 2.9; p = 0.02). Patients with trunk resistance mutations receiving pyrotinib monotherapy had worse outcomes (HR, 4.5; p = 0.03), with a median PFS of 7.8 weeks vs. 27.4 weeks for those with branch resistance mutations or without any resistance mutations in baseline ctDNA. Longitudinal monitoring of 21 patients during treatment showed that the molecular tumor burden index ([mTBI] a measure of the percentage of ctDNA in samples) was positively correlated with tumor size as evaluated by computed tomography (p < 0.0001, Pearson r = 0.52) and detected disease progression 8-16 weeks earlier. Our current findings suggested that ctDNA could be used to assess tumor heterogeneity and predict treatment outcomes. Furthermore, the mTBI is better for assessing therapeutic response than single gene mutations and might supplement the current therapeutic response evaluation system.

Abstract
e20614 Background: The central nervous system (CNS) remains a common site of metastatic disease for NSCLC, especially in EGFR-driven disease. Surgery and RT are upfront treatment options but have potential early and late onset complications. Osimertinib (Osi) is now approved for use in the front-line setting for EGFR-mutated NSCLC and is highly CNS penetrant. A prior retrospective study showed that the use of early generation EGFR TKIs had an inferior overall survival (OS) compared to upfront RT in newly diagnosed brain metastases, but the applicability of this data in the Osi-era is unknown. Methods: This was a single institution retrospective analysis of patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC and brain metastases who were referred to Radiation Oncology from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2018. We separated EGFR TKIs between Osi and non-Osi. The primary objectives were to evaluate OS, intracranial progression free survival (icPFS), and intracranial response (icORR) among upfront or delayed RT, and type of EGFR TKI. Results: 67 patients with a median age of 64 years old (33-89) were divided into one of four groups: non-Osi TKI with (N = 38) or without RT (N = 12), and Osi with (N = 14) or without RT (N = 3). Fourteen patients who did not get upfront Osi, received Osi with (N = 7) or without RT (N = 7) after intracranial progressive disease (icPD). Patients were predominantly female, never-smokers, and with an ECOG PS 0-1. Brain metastases were mostly asymptomatic and < 10 mm. The OS for the entire population was 26.7 months (95% CI, 23.9-29.5); there was no difference between groups, and use or type of RT versus TKI. The icPFS was 14.3 months (95% CI, 9.1-19.5), icORR was 64.2%, and icDCR was 82.7%, without any difference between groups. Among those patients who did not receive upfront Osi, use in the post-progression setting resulted in a significantly longer OS (54.8 vs. 23.0 months, p = 0.001). Conclusions: We found no statistical difference in OS, icPFS, or icORR in patients treated with upfront RT or EGFR TKI. Results should be confirmed with a prospective study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Approximately 3% to 10% of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) -mutant non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) undergo transformation to small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), but their clinical course is poorly characterized. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with EGFR-mutant SCLC and other high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas seen at our eight institutions. Demographics, disease features, and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS We included 67 patients-38 women and 29 men; EGFR mutations included exon 19 deletion (69%), L858R (25%), and other (6%). At the initial lung cancer diagnosis, 58 patients had NSCLC and nine had de novo SCLC or mixed histology. All but these nine patients received one or more EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor before SCLC transformation. Median time to transformation was 17.8 months (95% CI, 14.3 to 26.2 months). After transformation, both platinum-etoposide and taxanes yielded high response rates, but none of 17 patients who received immunotherapy experienced a response. Median overall survival since diagnosis was 31.5 months (95% CI, 24.8 to 41.3 months), whereas median survival since the time of SCLC transformation was 10.9 months (95% CI, 8.0 to 13.7 months). Fifty-nine patients had tissue genotyping at first evidence of SCLC. All maintained their founder EGFR mutation, and 15 of 19 with prior EGFR T790M positivity were T790 wild-type at transformation. Other recurrent mutations included TP53, Rb1, and PIK3CA. Re-emergence of NSCLC clones was identified in some cases. CNS metastases were frequent after transformation. CONCLUSION There is a growing appreciation that EGFR-mutant NSCLCs can undergo SCLC transformation. We demonstrate that this occurs at an average of 17.8 months after diagnosis and cases are often characterized by Rb1, TP53, and PIK3CA mutations. Responses to platinum-etoposide and taxanes are frequent, but checkpoint inhibitors yielded no responses. Additional investigation is needed to better elucidate optimal strategies for this group.

Abstract
With the advent of precision oncology, there is an urgent need to develop improved methods for rapidly detecting responses to targeted therapies. Here, we have developed an ultrasensitive measure of cell-free tumor load using targeted and whole-genome sequencing approaches to assess responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with advanced lung cancer. Analyses of 28 patients treated with anti-EGFR or HER2 therapies revealed a bimodal distribution of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after therapy initiation, with molecular responders having nearly complete elimination of ctDNA (>98%). Molecular nonresponders displayed limited changes in ctDNA levels posttreatment and experienced significantly shorter progression-free survival (median 1.6 vs. 13.7 months, P < 0.0001; HR = 66.6; 95% confidence interval, 13.0-341.7), which was detected on average 4 weeks earlier than CT imaging. ctDNA analyses of patients with radiographic stable or nonmeasurable disease improved prediction of clinical outcome compared with CT imaging. These analyses provide a rapid approach for evaluating therapeutic response to targeted therapies and have important implications for the management of patients with cancer and the development of new therapeutics.Significance: Cell-free tumor load provides a novel approach for evaluating longitudinal changes in ctDNA during systemic treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and serves an unmet clinical need for real-time, noninvasive detection of tumor response to targeted therapies before radiographic assessment.See related commentary by Zou and Meyerson, p. 1038.

Abstract
Lung cancer is most commonly diagnosed at a late stage when the disease is in its most aggressive state. To define the key regulators of lung cancer, we have focused on how stem cell signals are hijacked to drive progression to an undifferentiated state. Using a novel reporter mouse designed to reflect expression of the stem cell fate determinant Musashi-2 (Msi2), we found that Msi2 is highly expressed in tumors derived from the KrasG12D/+; p53fl/fl (KP) mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma. To test if Msi2-expressing cells preferentially act as the cell of origin in lung cancer, we isolated lung epithelial cells and tested their tumorigenic potential in vitro and in vivo following activation of Kras and loss of p53. Importantly, Msi2+ cells preferentially formed tumorspheres in vitro as well as tumors in vivo, indicating that Msi2+ tumor cells have increased tumor-initiating capacity. To determine whether Msi2 is required for lung cancer growth and progression, we crossed KP mice to Msi2 knockout mice and monitored tumor growth over time. Loss of Msi2 led to a reduction in both the number of tumors that formed and in overall tumor burden. Moreover, the mice exhibited a reduced frequency of high-grade tumors and an increase in overall survival, suggesting that loss of Msi2 impairs tumor development and disease progression. Finally, inhibition of Msi2 in a primary lung adenocarcinoma cell line led to reduced tumor volume in vivo, suggesting that Msi2 continues to be a dependency in established disease. Collectively, our data identify Msi2 as a stem cell signal that is critically required in lung cancer development and progression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: EGFR-TKIs are the recommended first-line therapy of patients (pts) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have an EGFR-sensitizing mutation (EGFRm). However, most pts develop resistance to EGFR-TKIs, with the EGFR T790M resistance mutation observed in >50% of pts on first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs. Osimertinib is a third-generation, CNS-active EGFR-TKI that potently and selectively inhibits both EGFRm and T790M resistance mutations, recommended for pts with T790M-positive advanced NSCLC who have progressed on first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. Tumor tissue is the preferred sample source for T790M testing; however, often tumor biopsy is not feasible following disease progression due to inaccessible sites and/or concerns about safety. Testing using plasma samples offers a less invasive, albeit less sensitive, alternative method for the detection of T790M-positive circulating tumor (ct) DNA. Additional noninvasive options, including urine ctDNA analyses, are also being investigated. The RADIANCE trial is designed to determine if urine and plasma tests can provide similar detection rates to tissue testing for T790M detection when combined. Pts identified as T790M-positive may be offered treatment with osimertinib.
Trial Design: RADIANCE (NCT03137264) is an open-label, prospective biomarker study with a primary objective of assessing the analytic concordance between noninvasive testing (Guardant360 Plasma Assay and Trovera Liquid Biopsy Test using urine) and tissue testing (cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2) for T790M in pts with NSCLC. Approximately 470 pts will be enrolled. The study consists of two parts, Diagnostic Analytic Validity (Part 1) and Clinical Outcomes (Part 2). In Part 1, eligible pts will provide a tumor biopsy (cobas tissue test), plasma (cobas plasma and Guardant360 tests) and urine sample (Trovera test) for T790M testing. Eligibility criteria include a primary diagnosis of EGFRm-positive NSCLC with evidence of disease progression during or following treatment with a first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI. Pts must not be enrolled on another clinical trial, or have previously received osimertinib or another T790M-directed therapy.
In Part 2, pts with T790M-positive status by cobas tissue and/or cobas plasma test will be treated according to standard of care, and may receive osimertinib. Pts will be followed for clinical outcomes for up to 18 months, and evaluated for objective response, progression-free survival, and duration of response (investigator-assessed using RECIST v1.1) and safety. Pts who are T790M negative or do not receive osimertinib will have completed the study after Part 1.

Abstract
Abstract
There is an unmet need for improved methods of rapidly identifying responses to targeted therapies. Liquid biopsy approaches have potential as early biomarkers of response based on noninvasive, real-time monitoring of disease burden. We have used the ultrasensitive targeted error correction sequencing (TEC-Seq) approach to analyze 58 cancer driver genes in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer undergoing treatment with targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors. As a proof-of-principle study, liquid biopsies were obtained from sixteen patients immediately prior to treatment, 6-22 days after treatment, and at serial timepoints until disease progression. Tumor derived alterations and copy number changes were directly detected in plasma and tracked over timepoints analyzed. Based on the dynamics of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) mutations identified, we developed a noninvasive measure of cell-free clonal tumor load (cfTL) to evaluate real-time response to treatment. These analyses revealed that patients with a radiographic response to therapy had a significant drop in cfTL from an average mutant allele fraction of 3.59% to 0.13% within 6-22 days (P < 0.05) as well as in the number of detectable mutations and aneuploidy scores, while radiographic non-responders had limited to no changes. Analyses of residual cfTL 6-22 days after treatment stratified patients into ctDNA responders and ctDNA non-responders. ctDNA responders had improved progression-free survival (12.4 vs 1.7 months, P < 0.001), which was detected on average 38 days earlier and was as predictive as CT imaging. These analyses provide an approach for rapid evaluation of response to targeted therapies and have important clinical implications for the management of cancer patients.

Abstract
Purpose Desmoplastic small round blue-cell tumors (DSRCTs) are sarcomas that contain the t(11;22) (p13;q12) translocation EWS-WT1 fusion protein. Because this is a rare tumor type, prospective clinical trials in DSRCT are challenging. Patients are treated in a manner similar to those with Ewing sarcoma; however, differences in prognosis and clinical presentation suggest fundamental differences in biology and potentially different therapeutic implications. This study aimed to characterize the molecular characteristics of DSRCT tumors to explore unique therapeutic options for this extremely rare and aggressive cancer type. Methods Thirty-five DSRCT tumors were assessed using next-generation sequencing, protein expression (immunohistochemistry), and gene amplification (chromogenic in situ hybridization or fluorescence in situ hybridization). Three patients had tumor mutational load, which was calculated as somatic nonsynonymous missense mutations sequenced with a 592-gene panel. Gene expression data were obtained for an additional seven DSRCT tumors. Molecular alterations were compared with 88 Ewing sarcomas. Results The most common alterations that distinguished DSRCTs from Ewing sarcoma included higher androgen receptor (AR), TUBB3, epidermal growth factor receptor, and TOPO2A expression. Independent analysis by RNA sequencing confirmed higher AR expression from an independent data set of EWS-WT1 fusion-positive DSRCTs compared with Ewing sarcoma and a pan-cancer analysis. DSRCTs had somatic mutations that were identified in TP53 and FOXO3, averaged five mutations per megabase, and no programmed death-ligand 1 expression was detected in any DSRCT samples. Conclusion The current analysis provides the first comparative analysis, to our knowledge, of molecular aberrations that distinguish DSRCT from Ewing sarcoma. High AR expression seems to be a defining event in these malignancies, and additional investigation of the responsiveness of AR inhibitors in this disease is encouraged.

Abstract
Early detection and intervention are likely to be the most effective means for reducing morbidity and mortality of human cancer. However, development of methods for noninvasive detection of early-stage tumors has remained a challenge. We have developed an approach called targeted error correction sequencing (TEC-Seq) that allows ultrasensitive direct evaluation of sequence changes in circulating cell-free DNA using massively parallel sequencing. We have used this approach to examine 58 cancer-related genes encompassing 81 kb. Analysis of plasma from 44 healthy individuals identified genomic changes related to clonal hematopoiesis in 16% of asymptomatic individuals but no alterations in driver genes related to solid cancers. Evaluation of 200 patients with colorectal, breast, lung, or ovarian cancer detected somatic mutations in the plasma of 71, 59, 59, and 68%, respectively, of patients with stage I or II disease. Analyses of mutations in the circulation revealed high concordance with alterations in the tumors of these patients. In patients with resectable colorectal cancers, higher amounts of preoperative circulating tumor DNA were associated with disease recurrence and decreased overall survival. These analyses provide a broadly applicable approach for noninvasive detection of early-stage tumors that may be useful for screening and management of patients with cancer.

Abstract
Purpose Dabrafenib and trametinib are approved for the management of advanced non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) that harbor BRAF V600E mutations. Small series and pan-cancer analyses have identified non-V600 alterations as therapeutic targets. We sought to examine a large genomic data set to comprehensively characterize non-V600 BRAF alterations in lung cancer. Patients and Methods A total of 23,396 patients with lung cancer provided data to assay with comprehensive genomic profiling. Data were reviewed for predicted pathogenic BRAF base substitutions, short insertions and deletions, copy number changes, and rearrangements. Results Adenocarcinomas represented 65% of the occurrences; NSCLC not otherwise specified (NOS), 15%; squamous cell carcinoma, 12%; and small-cell lung carcinoma, 5%. BRAF was altered in 4.5% (1,048 of 23,396) of all tumors; 37.4% (n = 397) were BRAF V600E, 38% were BRAF non-V600E activating mutations, and 18% were BRAF inactivating. Rearrangements were observed at a frequency of 4.3% and consisted of N-terminal deletions (NTDs; 0.75%), kinase domain duplications (KDDs; 0.75%), and BRAF fusions (2.8%). The fusions involved three recurrent fusion partners: ARMC10, DOCK4, and TRIM24. BRAF V600E was associated with co-occurrence of SETD2 alterations, but other BRAF alterations were not and were instead associated with CDKN2A, TP53, and STK11 alterations (P < .05). Potential mechanisms of acquired resistance to BRAF V600E inhibition are demonstrated. Conclusion This series characterized the frequent occurrence (4.4%) of BRAF alterations in lung cancers. Recurrent BRAF alterations in NSCLC adenocarcinoma are comparable to the frequency of other NSCLC oncogenic drivers, such as ALK, and exceed that of ROS1 or RET. This work supports a broad profiling approach in lung cancers and suggests that non-V600E BRAF alterations represent a subgroup of lung cancers in which targeted therapy should be considered.

Abstract
Brain metastases are common in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Because of associated poor prognosis and limited specific treatment options, there is a real need for the development of medical therapies and strategies for affected patients. Novel compounds for epidermal growth factor receptor-dependent and anaplastic lymphoma kinase-dependent lung cancer have demonstrated blood-brain barrier permeability and have led to important improvements in central nervous system outcomes. Studies of targeted therapies for oncogene-driven tumors and of immunotherapies in patients with brain metastases have shown promise and, allied with novel radiation techniques, are driving a rapid evolution in treatment and prognosis for NSCLC brain metastases.

Abstract
First generation or second generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors are currently the standard of care for the first-line management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating mutations within the kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (1, 2). Resistance to targeted therapy can develop after 9–11 months (3–8). Third generation inhibitors were developed to target the EGFR T790M clone, which is the most common dominant second site resistance mutation after first or second generation inhibitors. Osimertinib received full FDA approval for the second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC based on a phase III study comparing the compound to chemotherapy. Recent data demonstrates an important impact for osimertinib in the front-line space based on results comparing the compound to first-generation erlotinib or gefitinib therapy.

Abstract
Collection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the blood of individuals with cancer has permitted noninvasive tumor genome analysis. Detection and characterization of cfDNA in ascites and pleural effusions have not yet been reported. Herein, we analyzed cfDNA in the ascites and pleural effusions from six individuals with metastatic cancer. In all cases, cfDNA copy number variations (CNV) were discovered within the effusate. One individual had a relevant alteration with a high copy amplification in EGFR in a never smoker with lung cancer, who showed only MDM2 and CDK4 amplification in a prior tissue biopsy. Another subject with metastatic breast cancer had cytology-positive ascites and an activating PIK3CA mutation identified in the tissue, blood, and ascites collectively. This individual had tumor regression after the administration of the mTOR inhibitor everolimus and had evidence of chromotripsis from chromosomal rearrangements noted in the cell-free ascitic fluid. These results indicate that cfDNA from ascites and pleural effusions may provide additional information not detected with tumor and plasma cell-free DNA molecular characterization, and a context for important insights into tumor biology and clonal dynamic change within primary tumor and metastatic deposits.

Abstract
A widespread approach to modern cancer therapy is to identify a single oncogenic driver gene and target its mutant-protein product (for example, EGFR-inhibitor treatment in EGFR-mutant lung cancers). However, genetically driven resistance to targeted therapy limits patient survival. Through genomic analysis of 1,122 EGFR-mutant lung cancer cell-free DNA samples and whole-exome analysis of seven longitudinally collected tumor samples from a patient with EGFR-mutant lung cancer, we identified critical co-occurring oncogenic events present in most advanced-stage EGFR-mutant lung cancers. We defined new pathways limiting EGFR-inhibitor response, including WNT/β-catenin alterations and cell-cycle-gene (CDK4 and CDK6) mutations. Tumor genomic complexity increases with EGFR-inhibitor treatment, and co-occurring alterations in CTNNB1 and PIK3CA exhibit nonredundant functions that cooperatively promote tumor metastasis or limit EGFR-inhibitor response. This study calls for revisiting the prevailing single-gene driver-oncogene view and links clinical outcomes to co-occurring genetic alterations in patients with advanced-stage EGFR-mutant lung cancer.

Abstract
Desmoplastic small round blue cell tumors (DSRCTs) originate from a cell with multilineage potential. A molecular hallmark of DSRCT is the EWS-WT1 reciprocal translocation. Ewing sarcoma and DSRCT are treated similarly due to similar oncogene activation pathways, and DSRCT has been represented in very limited numbers in sarcoma studies. Despite aggressive therapy, median survival ranges from 17 to 25 months, and 5-year survival rates remain around 15%, with higher survival reported among those undergoing removal of at least 90% of tumor in the absence of extraperitoneal metastasis. Almost 100% of these tumors contain t(11;22) (p13;q12) translocation, and it is likely that EWS-WT1 functions as a transcription factor possibly through WT1 targets. While there is no standard protocol for this aggressive disease, treatment usually includes the neoadjuvant HD P6 regimen (high-dose cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine (HD-CAV) alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide (IE) chemotherapy combined with aggressively attempted R0 resection). We aimed to review the molecular characteristics of DSRCTs to explore therapeutic opportunities for this extremely rare and aggressive cancer type.

Abstract
Current cell-free DNA (cfDNA) next generation sequencing (NGS) precision oncology workflows are typically limited to targeted and/or disease-specific applications. In advanced cancer, disease burden and cfDNA tumor content are often elevated, yielding unique precision oncology opportunities. We sought to demonstrate the utility of a pan-cancer, rapid, inexpensive, whole genome NGS of cfDNA approach (PRINCe) as a precision oncology screening strategy via ultra-low coverage (~0.01x) tumor content determination through genome-wide copy number alteration (CNA) profiling. We applied PRINCe to a retrospective cohort of 124 cfDNA samples from 100 patients with advanced cancers, including 76 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), enabling cfDNA tumor content approximation and actionable focal CNA detection, while facilitating concordance analyses between cfDNA and tissue-based NGS profiles and assessment of cfDNA alteration associations with mCRPC treatment outcomes. Therapeutically relevant focal CNAs were present in 42 (34%) cfDNA samples, including 36 of 93 (39%) mCRPC patient samples harboring AR amplification. PRINCe identified pre-treatment cfDNA CNA profiles facilitating disease monitoring. Combining PRINCe with routine targeted NGS of cfDNA enabled mutation and CNA assessment with coverages tuned to cfDNA tumor content. In mCRPC, genome-wide PRINCe cfDNA and matched tissue CNA profiles showed high concordance (median Pearson correlation = 0.87), and PRINCe detectable AR amplifications predicted reduced time on therapy, independent of therapy type (Kaplan-Meier log-rank test, chi-square = 24.9, p < 0.0001). Our screening approach enables robust, broadly applicable cfDNA-based precision oncology for patients with advanced cancer through scalable identification of therapeutically relevant CNAs and pre-/post-treatment genomic profiles, enabling cfDNA- or tissue-based precision oncology workflow optimization.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Brain metastases are common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and due to associated poor prognosis, this field is an important area of need for the development of innovative medical therapies. Therapies including local approaches through surgical intervention and/or radiation and evolving systemic therapies have led to improvements in the treatment of brain metastases in patients with lung cancer. Strategies that consider applying advanced radiation techniques to minimize toxicity, intervening early with effective systemic therapies to spare radiation/surgery, testing radiosensitization combinations, and developing drug penetrant molecules have and will continue to define new practice patterns. We believe that in carefully considered asymptomatic patients, first-line systemic therapy may be considered before radiation therapy and small-molecule targeted therapy may provide an opportunity to defer radiation therapy for recurrence or progression of disease. The next several years in oncology drug development will see the reporting on of brain penetrant molecules in oncogene-defined non-small cell lung cancer. Ongoing studies will evaluate immunotherapies in patients with brain metastases with associated endpoints. We hope that continued drug development and carefully designed clinical trials may afford an opportunity to improve the lives of patients with brain metastases.
