Concordance assessment of KRASG12/G13 mutations in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue or urine cfDNA from patients with advanced cancers.

Concordance for plasma samples collected before systemic therapy tested for KRASG12/G13 mutations versus FFPE tumor samples tested in the clinical laboratory
Number of patients, N=33 KRASG12/G13 Mutation in Tumor KRASG12/G13 Wild-Type in Tumor
KRASG12/G13 mutation in plasma, no. of patients 22 0
KRASG12/G13 wild-type in plasma, no. of patients 2 9
Observed concordance 31 (94%); kappa, 0.86; SE, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.67–1.00
Sensitivity 92% (95% CI, 0.73–0.99)
Specificity 100% (95% CI, 0.66–1.00)
Positive predictive value 100% (95% CI, 0.85–1.00)
