Table 1.

Number of patients with driver or resistance mutations detected in tumor and plasma, as well as sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity estimates are based on Group 1, in which tumor variants were detected in the plasma. Specificity estimates are based on Group 2, in which tumor samples tested negative for driver mutations by NGS

Group 1 (n = 91) Driver positive on tissue genotyping
Group 2 (n = 19) Driver negative on tissue NGS Group 3 (n=17) Driver unknown insufficient tissue
Detected in tumor Tumor variant detected in plasma, N (sensitivity) Detected in plasma, N (specificity) Detected in plasma
Driver Total Subjects 91 68 (75%) 0 (100%) 4
EGFR 37 29 (78%) 0 0
KRAS 29 23 (79%) 0 4
ALK 8 5 (62%) 0 0
MET 6 3 (50%) 0 0
ERBB2 4 4 (100%) 0 0
BRAF 3 3 (100%) 0 0
