東京大学の研究グループは、肺がん患者が分子標的治療薬の対象となる遺伝子異常を有する確率を予測する機械学習モデルを開発した。全国3,470名の臨床情報と遺伝子パネル検査データを用いて構築され、臨床情報のみから簡便に推定できる点が特徴である。本モデルはWebアプリとして公開され、遺伝子検査前でも治療適応の可能性を評価可能となった。これにより、分子標的治療薬の投与機会の見逃しを防ぎ、副作用の少ない個別化医療の実現に貢献することが期待される。

Abstract

Purpose

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is a key strategy in precision medicine for lung cancer, yet its clinical implementation remains limited, partly because of the uncertainty in identifying druggable mutations in individual patients. In this study, we investigated the potential of an artificial intelligence (AI)–based tool to predict the probability of identifying druggable mutations before CGP (pretest probability).

Methods

We developed an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) prediction model trained on pre-CGP clinical variables from 3,470 patients with lung cancer (June 2019-November 2023) to estimate the probability of identifying druggable mutations. The key predictors were identified using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) analysis. The refined model was deployed as a web application and evaluated in a temporally independent test cohort of 1,307 patients (December 2023-November 2024), with Brier score as the primary end point.

Results

The prediction model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.85 (95% CI, 0.82 to 0.89) in the overall validation cohort and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.74 to 0.84) in patients for whom a driver mutation had not been identified through companion diagnostic testing. The XAI analysis identified sex, smoking history, histology, and metastatic sites as important predictors. Even among patients who underwent tissue CGP, bone (P = .011) and lung (P < .001) metastases were significantly associated with a higher druggable mutation detection rate. The deployed model achieved Brier scores of 0.19 in the overall independent test cohort and 0.16 in patients for whom a driver mutation had not been identified through companion diagnostic testing.

Conclusion

These findings indicate that an AI-based tool using pre-CGP clinical data may support broader CGP implementation and improve access to targeted therapies.
