Longitudinal Circulating Tumor DNA-Guided Resistance Analysis During Second-Line Osimertinib Treatment.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: In osimertinib-treated EGFR mutation (EGFRm)-positive NSCLC, resistance inevitably occurs. Early resistance mechanism (RM) detection by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma and consecutive targeted treatment may delay progressive disease (PD). In this multicenter prospective study, we evaluated the detection rate and time interval of RM emergence in plasma ctDNA before radiologic PD. Methods: Patients with EGFRm-positive NSCLC, treated with second- or third-line osimertinib, underwent computed tomography of the thorax and ctDNA analysis (Roche AVENIO expanded panel, research use only [Roche Sequencing Solutions, Roche, Basel, Switzerland]) at baseline and every 8 weeks for response evaluation and EGFRm and RM detection. If MET amplification preceded PD, crizotinib was to be added to osimertinib. Other RMs were monitored but not acted on. After PD, patients underwent a tumor biopsy. Results: Of the 21 evaluable patients, 18 had detectable ctDNA at baseline. In patients with undetectable ctDNA at baseline, ctDNA remained undetectable during treatment. In the 17 out of 18 (94%) patients with detectable ctDNA, PD occurred. In seven out of 21 patients (33%), the EGFRm variant allele frequency increase preceded radiologic PD with a median interval of 9 weeks (range 7-34). In seven out of 21 patients (33%), at least one RM was detected before PD, and the median interval was 14 weeks (range 7-34). Three had one or more RM in ctDNA at baseline. No MET amplification was observed, and treatment with crizotinib was not initiated in any patient. After PD, 16 biopsies were obtained. Five confirmed the RM detected in plasma, five biopsies revealed additional RMs, and six harbored no RM. Conclusions: In 33% of patients treated with second- or third-line osimertinib, RMs in plasma preceded PD by a median of 14 weeks, suggesting an opportunity for early treatment adjustment, potentially extending tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment duration.
