QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Tests

Improved Sensitivity for Single Gene Mutation Detection

CE/IVD MARKED (OUTSIDE OF THE US) AND RESEARCH USE ONLY (IN THE US)

The QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test for plasma and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) samples aids in the identification of patients eligible for cancer treatment and in monitoring response to therapy, which can lead to improved outcomes in cancer patients. The QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test is an in vitro diagnostic real-time quantitative PCR assay for the detection of somatic mutations in and near codon 719 in Exon 18, Exon 19 deletions, codons 768, 790 and insertions in Exon 20, and codons 858 and 861 in Exon 21 in the human EGFR gene, using purified DNA extracted from FFPE or plasma.

Powered by XNA technology, the QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test has achieved a much higher analytical sensitivity compared to other commercial qPCR kits and other cancer gene mutation detection methods. QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test is able to detect reliably 0.1% to 0.5% mutant DNA out of wild-type DNA for targeted mutations, providing lower detection limit compared to similar assays available in the market due to robust enrichment of mutant sequences while suppressing amplification of wild-type sequences.

EGFR Mutation and Cancer

EGFR Introduction

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a membrane protein that possesses an intracellular receptor tyrosine kinase (TK) on the surface of epidermal cells. EGFR plays a central role in transmitting signals that promote cell growth, survival and proliferation by activating several downstream pathways including the Ras-Raf-MAPK pathway, the PI3-kinase-PDK1-Akt pathway, and JAK1/2-STAT pathways. EGFR overexpression and presence of oncogenic mutations that constitutively activate the TK domain of EGFR have been found in various solid tumors such as lung cancer and colorectal cancers. For instance, some of the KRAS mutations are associated with resistance to TK inhibitors, erlotinibor and gefitinib, in lung adenocarcinoma patients with EFGR mutations.

Target Therapy for EGFR

The most common activating mutations in the EGFR oncogene, exon 19 deletion and L858R, respond to certain tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) cancer therapies such as GILOTRIF, GEFITINIB (Iressa) and ERLOTINIB (Tarceva), in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Such mutations in the EGFR oncogene are present in the general population of patients with NSCLC at a frequency of approximately 7 to 23% in patients from the Western population of the USA and Europe, and 30 to 50% in Asian metastatic NSCLC patients. Excessive activation of EGFR has been found to be connected with cancer progression and poor prognosis. On the other hand, T790M mutation shows resistance to TKI therapy and therefore TKI therapy will not work on these patients. Thus, detection of somatic mutations in the EGFR gene helps in choosing the appropriate targeted therapeutic regimens to increase the survival rate of cancer patients.

Supporting Data for QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test

QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test analytical sensitivity in plasma: detects as low as 0.125% VAF mutant DNA in a 5ng input

cfDNA extracted from plasma of a colorectal cancer patient with known EGFR T790M mutation was diluted in 5ng/μl of wild-type cfDNA. VAF of the sample was verified by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). The EGFR T790M assay was able to detect as low as 2 EGFR T790M mutant gene copies (0.125% VAF) in the background of wild-type cfDNA.

QClamp® EGFR Mutation Detection Test analytical sensitivity in FFPE: detects as low as 0.1% VAF mutant DNA in a 5ng input

DNA extracted from FFPE of a colorectal cancer patient with known EGFR T790M mutation was diluted in 5ng/μl of wild-type FFPE DNA. VAF of the sample was verified by NGS. The EGFR T790M assay was able to detect as low as 1.5 copies of EGFR T790M mutant (0.1% VAF) in the background of wild-type FFPE DNA.

Streamlined Workflow for QClamp® Gene Mutation Detection Tests

Step 1: DNA Isolation & Quantification

Extract DNA from FFPE or plasma using a commercial DNA extraction kit and measure the concentration using fluorometric analysis

Step 2: set up qpcr

Mix the assay reagents, load into PCR plate, add controls and extracted DNA ~ 30-60 minutes

Step 3: Amplification parameters

Enter amplification parameters on
qPCR instrument, load PCR plate
and start the run ~ 2.5 hours

Step 4: Data analysis

Determine the presence or absence
of mutations according to the Cq
value cutoffs ~ 15 minutes
