Method prospectively collected blood from 163 patients before treatment, then analyzed cell-free tumor DNA using next-generation sequencing to profile PIK3CA hotspot and TP53 DNA-binding domain mutations. Progression-free survival was tracked from therapy start to progression. Results show high cfDNA and PIK3CA/TP53 alterations predict worse PFS even with low tumor burden.

Published online: 21 June 2023 © The Author(s) 2023  \nAbstract  \nPurpose How to factor both tumor burden and oncogenic genomic mutations as variables to predict the outcome of endocrine-based therapy (ET) in ER-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients (MBC) remains to be explored. Method Blood samples prospectively collected from 163 ER-positive/HER2-negative female MBC patients, before ET, were used for cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) analysis. cfDNA was subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS) to interrogate oncogenic PIK3CA hotspot and TP53 DNA-binding domain (DBD) mutations, including single nucleotide variants (SNVs) or small insertions and deletions (InDels) . The variant calling threshold was set at 0.5% . Progression-free survival (PFS) was measured from the start of the ET treatment to the time of disease progression of the same treatment regimen. Results Overall, the median PFS was 8.3 months (95% CI 5.7–11.1 months) . The median cfDNA was 38.5 ng (range 4.4– 1935 ng) . The proportion of patients with PIK3CA and TP53 alterations were 25.1 and 15.3%, respectively. Patients with high total cfDNA (HR 1.74, p = 0.003), PIK3CA mutation (HR 1.74, p = 0.007), and TP53 mutation (HR 1.64, p = 0.047) in liquid biopsy conferred worse outcome after ET. Even for patients with low tumor burden, the detrimental effect of PIK3CA or TP53 mutation remained significant (p \u003C 0.001). For patients with either PIK3CA (p\u003C 0.001) or TP53 mutation (p = 0.004), there was significant positive correlation between allele frequency (AF) and total cfDNA.  \nConclusion After adjustment of cfDNA level, PIK3CA and TP53 mutations observed in liquid biopsy exerted detrimental effects on the outcome of ET-based regimens. The AF ofPIK3CA or TP53 may be a surrogate marker for PFS.  \nKeywords Liquid biopsy · Cell-free tumor DNA · Breast cancer · Endocrine receptor  \nIntroduction  \nKien Thiam Tan and Yen-Shen Lu contributed equally to this article.  \n* Kien Thiam Tan [jtchen@actgenomics.com](jtchen@actgenomics.com)  \n* Yen-Shen Lu [yslu@ntu.edu.tw](yslu@ntu.edu.tw)  \n1 Department of Oncology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan  \n2 Graduate Institute of Oncology, National Taiwan University College of Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan  \nDespite the progress in the endocrine therapy (ET)-based regimens of endocrine receptor (ER)-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC), the prognosis and the survival  \n3 Department of Medical Oncology, National Taiwan University Cancer Center, Taipei, Taiwan  \n4 ACT Genomics Co., Ltd, Taipei, Taiwan  \n5 Division of Hematology and Oncology, Department of Medicine, Tri-Service General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan  \n6 Department of Surgery, National Taiwan University Cancer Center, Taipei, Taiwan  \noutcome of different treatment regimens vary far and wide.
