Negative Hyperselection of Patients with HER2+ and RAS Wild-Type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving Dual HER2 Blockade: the PRESSING-HER2 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To demonstrate the negative prognostic impact of a panel of genomic alterations (PRESSING-HER2 panel) and lack of HER2 amplification by next-generation sequencing (NGS) in patients with HER2+, RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer receiving dual HER2 blockade.

Experimental design

The PRESSING-HER2 panel of HER2 mutations/rearrangements and RTK/MAPK mutations/amplifications was assessed by NGS. HER2 amplification was confirmed by NGS if copy-number variation (CNV) was ≥ 6. With a case-control design, hypothesizing 30% and 5% PRESSING-HER2 positivity in resistant [progression-free survival (PFS) <4 months and no RECIST response] versus sensitive cohorts, respectively, 35 patients were needed per group.

Results

PRESSING-HER2 alterations included HER2 mutatio
