Plasma ctDNA Kinetics Predicts Therapy Response in Advanced NSCLC – International Society of Liquid Biopsy

International Society of Liquid Biopsy shared an article by Luís F Leite da Silva, et al. on X:

“Plasma ctDNA Kinetics Predicts Therapy Response in Advanced NSCLC.

Key Findings from a Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis:

ctDNA clearance/decrease strongly correlates with improved PFS & OS in NSCLC patients.
HR for PFS: 0.32 (68% lower risk of progression with ctDNA clearance).
HR for OS: 0.31 (69% lower risk of death with ctDNA reduction).
Benefits seen across targeted therapy (TT) & immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).
Tumor-informed assays showed a stronger predictive value vs. tumor-agnostic assays.

Longitudinal ctDNA monitoring can revolutionize personalized NSCLC treatment decisions!
