Estimation of the impact of the breadth of target and sensitivity of platforms at two different mutant allele fraction levels in the detection of KRAS mutations in a mCRC population.

Prevalence of KRAS mutations in mCRC Breadth of KRAS targets Sensitivity at 50 ng DNA mAF 0.50%a Sensitivity at 50 ng DNA mAF 0.02%a Estimated % of KRAS positive patients detected (50 ng, mAF 0.50%) Estimated % of KRAS positive patients detected (50 ng, mAF 0.02%)
ddPCR 46% 82% 100% 58% 38% 22%

aSensitivity was based on the detection of KRAS p.G12 and p.G13 mutations in synthetic reference samples at the indicated input and mAF.

bInvalid result were obtained for 25% of the results.

cInvalid result were obtained for 25% of the results.

dInvalid result were obtained for 12% of the results.
