Table 1.

Colorado Scoring Criteria for EGFR FISH. The table includes the number of eligible patients from the SQUIRE trial, divided by scoring category and treatment arm.

Score Observation N# of patients (%) EGFR signal features FISH result Patients (%)
Arm A Arm B Overall
1 Disomy 11 (3.9%) 13 (4.7%) 24 (4.3%) < 40% of cells displaying ≥ 4 copies of the EGFR signal AND
EGFR/CEP7 ratio < 2 AND absence of gene clusters AND <
10% of cells displaying ≥ 15 copies of EGFR
Negative
349 (62.7%)
2 Low trisomy 61 (21.6%) 56 (20.4%) 117 (21.0%)
3 High trisomy 10 (3.5%) 13 (4.7%) 23 (4.1%)

5 High polysomy 89 (31.6%) 78 (28.4%) 167 (30.0%) ≥ 40% of cells displaying ≥ 4 copies of the EGFR signal* Positive
208 (37.3%)
6 Gene amplification 22 (7.8%) 19 (6.9%) 41 (7.4%) EGFR/CEP7 ratio ≥ 2 OR presence of gene clusters (≥ 4 spots) OR ≥
10% of cells displaying ≥ 15 copies of EGFR*
TOTAL 282 (50.6%) 275 (49.4%) 557 (100%)

Arm A: cisplatin-gemcitabine-necitumumab; Arm B: cisplatin-gemcitabine.

If a sample met the critieria for both high polysomy and gene amplification, the sample was categorized as score=6.
