High MAF of EGFR mutations and high ratio of T790M sensitizing mutations in ctDNA predict better third-generation TKI outcomes.

High concordance of ctDNA and tissue biopsy was observed. NGS of ctDNA from 147 TKI-relapsed patients showed that both high ratio of T790M sensitizing mutation (sensi-mutation) and high MAFs of mutations were all associated with better third generation TKI treatment outcomes. The quantification of both MAFs and T790M sensi-mutation ratio should be taken into consideration in some clinical situations, and incorporation of high-throughput NGS into clinical trials may be crucial to identifying the response to osimertinib, as it provides more comprehensive genomic information.
