Clinical Significance
The test is indicated as a companion diagnostic to aid in selecting NSCLC patients for treatment with the targeted therapies listed below in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling:
TARCEVA® (erlotinib) for Exon 19 deletions and L858R in FFPET and plasma TAGRISSO™ (osimertinib) for T790M in FFPET and plasma*
Patients with positive Cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2 test results using plasma specimens for the presence of EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R mutations are eligible for treatment with certain Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (see below).
Patients who are negative for these mutations should be reflexed to routine biopsy and testing for EGFR mutations with the FFPET sample type.
The Cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2 is indicated as an FDA approved companion diagnostic to aid in selecting NSCLC patients for treatment with the targeted therapies listed below:
TARCEVA® (erlotinib)
FFPET and plasma: Exon 19 deletions and L858R
TAGRISSO® (osimertinib)
FFPET and plasma: Exon 19 deletions, L858R and T790M
IRESSA® (gefitinib)
FFPET and plasma: Exon 19 deletions and L858R
TARCEVA® (erlotinib) for Exon 19 deletions and L858R in FFPET and plasma TAGRISSO™ (osimertinib) for T790M in FFPET and plasma*
