ObjectiveTo monitor trastuzumab resistance and determine the underlying mechanisms for the limited response rate and rapid emergence of resistance of HER2+ metastatic gastric cancer (mGC).DesignTargeted sequencing of 416 clinically relevant genes was performed in 78 paired plasma and tissue biopsy samples to determine plasma-tissue concordance. Then, we performed longitudinal analyses of 97 serial plasma samples collected from 24 patients who were HER2+ to track the resistance during trastuzumab treatment and validated the identified candidate resistance genes.ResultsThe results from targeted sequencing-based detection of somatic copy number alterations (SCNA) ofHER2gene were highly consistent with fluorescence in situ hybridisation data, and the detectedHER2SCNA was better than plasma carcinoembryonic antigen levels at predicting tumour shrinkage and progression. Furthermore, most patients with innate trastuzumab resistance presented highHER2SCNA during progression compared with baseline, whileHER2SCNA decreased in patients with acquired resistance.PIK3CAmutations were significantly enriched in patients with innate resistance, andERBB2/4genes were the most mutated genes, accounting for trastuzumab resistance in six (35.3%) and five (29.4%) patients in baseline and progression plasma, respectively. Patients withPIK3CA/R1/C3orERBB2/4mutations in the baseline plasma had significantly worse progression-free survival. Additionally, mutations inNF1contributed to trastuzumab resistance, which was further confirmed through in vitro and in vivo studies, while combined HER2 and MEK/ERK blockade overcame trastuzumab resistance.ConclusionLongitudinal circulating tumour DNA sequencing provides novel insights into gene alterations underlying trastuzumab resistance in HER2+mGC.
