Background: ERBB2 amplifications have been recently shown as a potential targetable alteration in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Indeed, dual-targeted therapy with trastuzumab and lapatinib, has been shown to be of potential interest in HER2-positive mCRC patients (pts) in the HERACLES trial. This discovery reinforces the interest to study the occurrence and the prognostic role of ERBB2 alterations in stage III colon cancer (CC) where we need to improve adjuvant strategies. Prospective collection of PETACC8 study allowed us to evaluate the occurrence and the prognostic impact of ERBB2 alteration. Methods: From the 2559 pts of PETACC8 trial, 2043 signed the translational research informed consent. Among them, tissues samples were available in 1795 pts for NGS screening, and 1804 were available for immunochemistry and FISH analysis. We searched for ERBB2 mutation in exon 19 to 21 and for amplification, using the colon lung cancer panel V2 and an algorithm previously validated. All cases were screened for ERBB2 staining using the polyclonal antibody HER2 clone 4B5 from Ventana Roche and by FISH using kit zytolight SPEC ERBB2/CEN17 dual color. Results: Altogether, ERBB2 alterations were present in 64 pts (3.8%). We identified 17 mutations (1%), the most frequent were p.V842I (5 pts), p.V777L (3 pts), p.L755S (3 pts). There was no significant association with RAS or BRAF mutations nor mutual exclusivity. We identified NGS ERBB2 amplification in 49 pts (2.9%), 39 were confirmed by immunochemistry (FISH results will be shown at the meeting). We evaluated the prognostic impact of ERBB2 alterations by pooling pts mutated or amplified. In univariate analysis, ERBB2 alterations were associated with shorter time to recurrence (HR: 1.55 [95%CI: 1.02; 2.36] p = 0.04) and shorter overall survival (HR: 1.57 [0.99; 2.5] p =0.05). This prognostic value was maintained after adjustment for treatment, RAS mutation, histological grade, tumor location, pT and pN status, bowel obstruction or perforation and venous or lymphatic embolism. Conclusions: ERBB2 alteration is a rare event found in approximately 4% of stage III CC pts. Its poor prognostic value supports the testing of anti-ERBB2 therapies in the adjuvant setting.

Abstract
Background: ERBB2 amplifications have been recently shown as a potential targetable alteration in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Indeed, dual-targeted therapy with trastuzumab and lapatinib, has been shown to be of potential interest in HER2-positive mCRC patients (pts) in the HERACLES trial. This discovery reinforces the interest to study the occurrence and the prognostic role of ERBB2 alterations in stage III colon cancer (CC) where we need to improve adjuvant strategies. Prospective collection of PETACC8 study allowed us to evaluate the occurrence and the prognostic impact of ERBB2 alteration. Methods: From the 2559 pts of PETACC8 trial, 2043 signed the translational research informed consent.
