4 KQ I. What other genes, previously not addressed, should be tested in lung adenocarcinoma? ROS1: 1-2% rearrangement RET: 1-2% rearrangement BRAF: 4% half are non-v600e MET: 3% exon 14 deletion and amplification ERBB2/ HER2: 2% (KRAS: 30% mutation MEK inhibitors) ROS1 Rearrangements in NSCLC Most auspicious; clinical trials Chromosomal rearrangements Approximately 1% to 2% of lung cancers with adenocarcinoma histology About 2,000 to 4,000 new cases of ROS1 positive lung cancer each year in the United States College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 14 Late Breaking News ROS1 and Crizotinib This past Friday afternoon March 11 US FDA approved Crizotinib for ROS1 positive advanced NSCLC Lung cancers with ROS1 translocations respond to crizotinib (already approved for ALK positive lung cancers) Oncologists have been requesting ROS1 testing and treating ROS1 positive lung cancers with crizotinib Crizotinib has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation Approval in ROS1 positive lung cancers College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 16 4

5 Tests for ROS1 Rearrangements in NSCLC NO GOLD STANDARD METHOD FISH Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Anchored multiplex PCR Reverse-transcriptase PCR Next generation sequencing ROS 1 Considerations? To select patients for ROS1 targeted therapy, ROS1 testing on all lung adenocarcinoma patients? Maybe other cell types in never smokers, etc? Molecular or cytogenetic test no specific method based on clinical trials? IHC for screening, but needs molecular or cytogenetic confirmation? 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 17 Related thought RET, BRAF,HER2/ERBB2, KRAS In addition to histological diagnosis, important to prioritize lung adenocarcinoma biopsy tissue for EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 testing As with EGFR, ALK and ROS1, these are generally mutually exclusive with occasional exceptions Mostly or exclusively adenocarcinomas Clinical trials and/or potential drugs for each (KRAS may predict for downstream targets such as MEK) Literature evidence not to recommendation level?? 5

6 RET Rearrangements in NSCLC Chromosomal rearrangements in about 1% to 2% of lung cancers with Adenocarcinoma histology Tests for RET Rearrangements in NSCLC FISH Anchored multiplex PCR Next generation sequencing IHC-variable results; not widely accepted yet 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 22 BRAF Mutations in NSCLC BRAF mutations occur in about 5% of NSCLC In contrast to melanomas, only half of BRAF mutations in NSCLC are V600E mutations. Responses reported to V600E targeted drugs Tests for BRAF Mutations in NSCLC Sanger sequencing and other molecular Next generation sequencing IHC not established for NSCLC Only half of BRAF mutations in NSCLC are V600E College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 24 6

7 ERBB2/HER2 in NSCLC KRAS Mutations in NSCLC Amplification or overexpression of HER2 well known predictive biomarker for breast cancer HER2 activation in lung cancer is associated with mutations, mostly insertions in exon 20, which are independent of HER2 gene amplification These mutations are not seen in breast cancer. HER 2 mutations are found in 2% of lung adenocarcinomas 30% Adenocarcinomas No approved direct KRAS inhibitors hence, testing for KRAS has not been useful as a predictive biomarker for a KRAS inhibitor But recent reports of response to MEK inhibitors downstream of KRAS 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 26 RET, BRAF,HER2/ERBB2, KRAS Considerations Adenocarcinomas, maybe other cell types in never smokers, etc? Not indicated as a routine stand-alone assay outside the context of a clinical trial? Can be part of larger testing panels performed either Initially? or when routine EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 testing are negative? MET in NSCLC De novo MET amplification has been associated with profound responses to therapy with crizotinib. Recently, splicing variants and insertion-deletion mutations leading to MET exon 14 deletion have been found in about 3% of lung Adenocarcinomas Lead to MET activation and response to crizotinb and cabozantinib College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 28 7

8 MET in NSCLC MET amplification can be seen in tumors with MET exon 14 deletion MET protein overexpression appears to correlate with MET amplification, although MET IHC is controversial as a biomarker for MET-targeted therapies Squamous cell as well as adenocarcinoma Tests for MET Activation in NSCLC Mutational analysis exon 14 Sequencing NGS Copy number FISH, CISH NGS IHC? 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 30 MET Considerations KQ II. Is immunohistochemistry reliable for screening for ALK translocations? Not indicated as a routine stand-alone assay outside the context of a clinical trial? Can be part of larger testing panels performed either Initially? or when routine EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 testing are negative? 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 32 8

9 FDA Approval VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay is intended for the qualitative detection of the ALK protein in FFPE NSCLC tissue stained with a BenchMark XT automated staining instrument. It is indicated as an aid in identifying patients eligible for treatment with XALKORI (crizotinib). ALK IHC Considerations When testing for ALK rearrangements, IHC as an equivalent alternative to FISH for adenocarcinoma May identify some cases not readily recognized by FISH 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 33 KQ III. In patients who are undergoing treatment with targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, what are the types and rates of secondary resistance? Secondary resistance considerations Molecular tests with appropriate performance characteristics for detection of secondary mutations EGFR T790M mutation testing to select patients for EGFR T790M mutation targeted therapy ALK mutational testing to select patients for ALK secondary resistance mutation targeted therapy 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 35 9

10 KQ IV. Are there biomarkers that are predictive of clinical outcome in squamous and small cell carcinomas? Squamous cell carcinoma Considerations Testing if squamous cell not excluded; especially if never smoker, young age, etc Insufficient evidence for new specific markers? 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 37 EGFR Inhibiting Monoclonal Antibodies for Squamous Cell Carcinoma EGFR copy number (FISH) as potential biomarker Cetuximab (Erbitux) Portrazza (Necitumumab) Eli Lilly FDA approved with chemo in advanced squamous cell carcinoma V. What are the clinical performance characteristics of circulating DNA/CTC in plasma when used for diagnosis of primary lung adenocarcinoma or relapse? 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved

11 cfdna and CTC Considerations In general, insufficient evidence for recommendation? Maybe cfdna when insufficient biopsy tissue for EGFR testing? May consider cfdna for T790M mutation testing when progression on EGFR TKIs (follow up biopsy if the result is negative)? Contents Introduction New Key Questions Old Key Questions 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved. 42 Old Key Questions (from 2013 guideline) NGS Considerations Has new data emerged to warrant changing the original recommendations? Strengthen previous statement Benefits vs availability Multiplexed genetic sequencing preferred over multiple single-gene tests for selecting lung adenocarcinomas for targeted therapy beyond EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 specific circumstances 2016 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved

12 Cytology Specimen Revision Considerations Previously, cell blocks preferred over cytology smears Cytology smears or cell blocks, both suitable for lung cancer biomarker molecular testing.
