Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium
Organization
• Headquarters: University of Colorado
• Paul Bunn, Principal Investigator
• 14 Sites: SPORE, P01, NCI Intramural Programs
• Plan: Genotype 1000 patients with advanced lung
adenocarcinoma, 2009-2011
• Assay 10 “driver” mutations in CLIA-certified laboratories:
EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, HER2, AKT1, NRAS, PIK3CA, MEK1,
EML4-ALK, MET amp
Johnson et al on behalf of LCMC investigators, WLCC July 2011 Abstract #O16.01
Kris et al. on behalf of LCMC investigators, ASCO June 2011 Abstract #CRA7506
LCMC Objectives
• Characterize 1000 tumor specimens from patients with
lung adenocarcinoma for KRAS, EGFR, BRAF, HER2,
PIK3CA, AKT1, NRAS, MEK1, and EML4-ALK, and
MET amplification
• To use the information in real time to either select
erlotinib with EGFR mutations or recommend a clinical
trial of an agent targeting the specific mutation identified

Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium Conclusions
• An actionable driver mutation in 54% of patients with lung
adenocarcinoma
– 23% KRAS mutations
– 18% EGFR mutations
– 9% EML4-ALK
2% BRAF mutations
2% PIK3CA mutations
• EGFR mutations correlate with younger age, female gender,
and never smokers
• KRAS mutations correlate with older age and smoking
history
• Plans are underway to expand the scope of the LCMC when
ARRA funding ends-LCMC 2.0

EGFR mutations
•
Found in 10% - 15% of all lung cancer patients and 85%
who clinically respond to EGFR TKIs
•
Found more commonly in never-smokers,
adenocarcinomas, BAC, women, Asians
•
Predominantly located in EGFR exons 19 - 21
•
EGFR mutations are not the same. There are sensitive
mutations and acquired resistance mutations (T790M).
•
85% of EGFR mutations are either deletion exon 19 or
L858 mutation.

Summary EURTAC
• EURTAC is the first Caucasian front-line EGFR
TKI vs chemotherapy study performed in EGFRmutation positive patients.
• The PFS (HR 0.37) was consistent with prior
studies and favored the erlotinib arm with no
new safety signals.
• OS remains immature with high level of
crossover.

Summary LUNG LUX-3
• Front-line afatinib improved QOL, RR, DCR, and median PFS over
cisplatin-pemetrexed in both the overall EGFR mutation population
and in the common EGFR mutation (del19/L858) patients.
• Subgroup analysis showed benefit across most of the subgroups.
• No new safety signals with diarrhea and rash as the most frequent
AEs.
• On July 12, 2013, the FDA approved afatinib for front-line treatment of
metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R)
as detected by an FDA-approved test.
Yang et al. ASCO 2012 Abstract LBA7500
Front-line EGFR TKI
• EGFR TKI monotherapy in NSCLC patients with sensitive
EGFR mutations improves PFS over chemotherapy.
• However, EGFR TKI monotherapy should not be given to
patients without EGFR mutations, i.e. EGFR wild-type (WT).
EGFR WT patients need front-line chemotherapy.
• It is unclear which EGFR TKI should be used front-line.
• It is unclear whether EGFR TKI + chemo or chemo then
maintenance erlotinib would improve survival for EGFR
mutation patients.
– CALGB 30406 frontline study (ASCO 2010)
– FAST - ACT (intercalating EGFR TKI with chemo) – await results. There are concerns
over combining erlotinib-chemo as erlotinib arrests the cancer cells in the G1
checkpoint and chemo usually works best in the mitotic phase.
– SATURN – showed that EGFR mutation patients had significant survival improvement
with maintenance erlotinib after 4 cycles of chemo.

•EML4-ALK-positive tumors are a distinct entity among lung
adenocarcinomas and usually do not respond to EGFR TKIs.
•EML 4 ALK is a negative prognostic factor
 ALK (+) NSCLC treated with 2nd/3rd line crizotinib have longer OS than
those who are not treated with crizotinib.
