Abstract Mutant-selective KRASG12C inhibitors, such as MRTX849 (adagrasib) and AMG 510 (sotorasib), have demonstrated efficacy in KRASG12C-mutant cancers, including non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, mechanisms underlying clinical acquired resistance to inhibitors remain undetermined. To begin define the mechanistic spectrum of resistance, we describe a patient with NSCLC who developed polyclonal emergence 10 heterogeneous alterations serial cell-free DNA spanning four genes (KRAS,...

Aim: Genomically matched trials in primary brain tumors (PBTs) require recent tumor sequencing. We evaluated whether circulating DNA (ctDNA) could facilitate genomic interrogation these patients. Methods: Data from 419 PBT patients tested clinically with a ctDNA NGS panel at CLIA-certified laboratory were analyzed. Results: A total of 211 (50%) had ≥1 somatic alteration detected. Detection was highest meningioma (59%) and gliobastoma (55%). Single nucleotide variants detected 61 genes,...

BACKGROUND Biomarker‐guided clinical trials are increasingly common in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC), yet patients for whom contemporary tumor tissue is not available eligible. Technological advancements sequencing have made cell‐free circulating DNA (cfDNA) next‐generation (NGS) readily the clinic. The objective of current study was to determine whether genomic profile mUC detected by NGS cfDNA similar historical studies. A secondary frequency alterations (GAs) differed between...
