Early Assessment of Response to targeted 3rd generation TKI therapy Within 1st week on therapy with a 3rd generation TKI, spikes in ctDNA represent tumor cell death Spikes gradually decrease, further indicating response to therapy Response to therapy confirmed with radiographic imaging Husain et al, World Lung Conference, 2015, Manuscript submitted Early Response to Therapy Assessment Within 1st Week On Therapy Study measured both activating mutation L858R and resistance mutation T790M

EGFR T790M Study conclusions Urine identified a similar proportion of T790M+ patients as tissue or blood Inadequate biopsy or tumor heterogeneity likely explain discordant results, and urine identified mutations that tissue missed EGFR mutation detection from urine demonstrated very strong clinical performance Monitoring urine ctDNA T790M mutation levels longitudinally is feasible and is being further explored as a means to inform therapy selection

Kras Study conclusions 92.9% of 210 patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer were positive for ctDNA KRAS using Trovagene’s liquid biopsy assay This detection rate closely matches the published prevalence of KRAS in pancreatic cancer (90%), and out-performs previous studies Studies using other liquid biopsies demonstrate widely variable KRAS ctDNA sensitivity (27% – 71%)1 The superior detection assay sensitivity demonstrates clinical utility and the opportunity to move into earlier stages of disease Quantitation of KRAS may provide a more informative biomarker that CA19-9 for prognosis and monitoring for therapeutic response Early detection of resectable disease in the high risk population is feasible 1Castells, et al.
