Background The recent approval of PARP inhibitor, olaparib, in HER2-negative breast cancer expands the therapeutic options for patients with germline BRCA1/2 alterations. The role of somatic BRCA alteration as a predictive biomarker in breast cancer is currently unclear. NCCN guidelines call for germline testing in all young patients ( Methods Hybrid-capture based comprehensive genomic profiling of 395 cancer-related genes using the FoundationOne assay (Foundation Medicine, MA) was performed on 12,508 breast carcinomas. Somatic/germline/zygosity status for BRCA1/2 variants was analyzed as described in Sun, 2018 (PMID: 29415044). High genome-wide loss-of-heterozygosity (gLOH) was classified as ≥16% LOH. Subgroups were analyzed on histological {Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC), Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC)} and molecular subtypes [ER-positive (ER+), HER2-amplified (HER2+), TNBC], patient age [≤45, 46-60, 61+], and gender. Results Consistent with previous reports, the frequency of BRCA1/2 alterations was highest in young patients ( The fraction of somatic BRCA mutations (sBRCA) was 38%, with the lowest fraction of sBRCA in TNBC and young patients (30%, 30% overall, 36%, 42% for BRCA1) and highest in HER2+, ILC, and older patients (46%, 52%, 51%); the absolute frequency of sBRCA is approximately 3.5%. In tumors with ESR1 mutations, we detected concurrent BRCA mutation in 6.4% (85/1319), with 48% predicted somatic. Almost all tumors with BRCA mutations had biallelic inactivation, with LOH of the second allele irrespective of predicted germline status (90% of gBRCA and 86% of sBRCA under LOH). gLOH score was used as a phenotypic measure of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD): patients harboring biallelic BRCA alterations had elevated rates of gLOH with 89% of gBRCA and 84% of sBRCA tumors harboring a high gLOH score, vs 47% with heterozygous BRCA, 34% with no BRCA alteration, and 80% for patients with BRCA deletion. Conclusions Thirty-eight percent of deleterious BRCA alterations in breast are predicted somatic, including 36% of BRCA1 alterations in TNBC. Germline testing would miss these alterations even though they are frequently under LOH and are associated with high gLOH, a biomarker with predictive value in ovarian cancer. While patients with ER+ and HER2+ tumors have low rates of gBRCA alterations, the overall BRCA mutation rate, including somatic alterations, is appreciable at 8.3% and 5.3%. Our findings demonstrate that sBRCA alterations are associated with a comparable HRD phenotype to gBRCA altertions and suggests that PARP inhibitors may have potential value for a wider range of breast cancer patients.

Background Initial studies of preoperative checkpoint inhibition before radical cystectomy (RC) have shown promising pathologic complete responses. We aimed to analyze the survival outcomes of patients enrolled in the PURE-01 study ( NCT02736266 ). Patients and methods We report the results of the secondary end points of PURE-01 in the final population of 143 patients. In particular, we report the event-free survival (EFS) outcomes, defined as the time from the first cycle of pembrolizumab to radiographic disease progression precluding RC, initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), recurrence after RC, or death from any cause. Other end points were recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Subgroup analyses were carried out, including pathological response category, clinical complete responses (CR) assessed via multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), and molecular subtyping. Cox regression analyses for EFS were also carried out. Results After a median [interquartile range (IQR)] follow-up of 23 (15-29) months, 12- and 24-month EFS were 84.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 78.5-90.9] and 71.7% (62.7-82). The prognosis was favorable across all the different pathological response subgroups, with the exception of ypN+ (N = 21), showing a 24-month RFS (95% CI) of 39.3% (19.2% to 80.5%). A statistically significant EFS benefit was observed in patients with a clinical CR (P = 0.002). Programmed cell-death-ligand-1 combined positive score was significantly associated with longer EFS in multivariable analyses. Four patients refused RC after clinical evidence of CR, and none of them have recurred after a median follow-up of 10 months (IQR: 11-15). The claudin-low subtype displayed a numerically longer EFS after pembrolizumab and RC compared with the other subtypes. Conclusions The EFS results from PURE-01 revealed that the immunotherapy effect was maintained post-RC in most patients. Pembrolizumab compared favorably with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, irrespective of the biomarker status. Molecular subtyping may be a useful tool to select the patients who are predicted to benefit the most from neoadjuvant pembrolizumab.

Background Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) as a disease entity distinct from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) has merited focused studies of the genomic landscape, but those to date are largely limited to the assessment of early-stage cancers. Given that genomic alterations develop as acquired resistance to endocrine therapy, studies on refractory ILC are needed. Patients and methods Tissue from 336 primary-enriched, breast-biopsied ILC and 485 estrogen receptor (ER)-positive IDC and metastatic biopsy specimens from 180 ILC and 191 ER-positive IDC patients was assayed with hybrid-capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling for short variant, indel, copy number variants, and rearrangements in up to 395 cancer-related genes. Results Whereas ESR1 alterations are enriched in the metastases of both ILC and IDC compared with breast specimens, NF1 alterations are enriched only in ILC metastases (mILC). NF1 alterations are predominantly under loss of heterozygosity (11/14, 79%), are mutually exclusive with ESR1 mutations [odds ratio = 0.24, P 20 mutations/mb; P

Background Estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) metastatic breast cancer is often intractable due to endocrine therapy resistance. Although ESR1 promoter switching events have been associated with endocrine-therapy resistance, recurrent ESR1 fusion proteins have yet to be identified in advanced breast cancer. Patients and methods To identify genomic structural rearrangements (REs) including gene fusions in acquired resistance, we undertook a multimodal sequencing effort in three breast cancer patient cohorts: (i) mate-pair and/or RNAseq in 6 patient-matched primary-metastatic tumors and 51 metastases, (ii) high coverage (>500×) comprehensive genomic profiling of 287–395 cancer-related genes across 9542 solid tumors (5216 from metastatic disease), and (iii) ultra-high coverage (>5000×) genomic profiling of 62 cancer-related genes in 254 ctDNA samples. In addition to traditional gene fusion detection methods (i.e. discordant reads, split reads), ESR1 REs were detected from targeted sequencing data by applying a novel algorithm (copyshift) that identifies major copy number shifts at rearrangement hotspots. Results We identify 88 ESR1 REs across 83 unique patients with direct confirmation of 9 ESR1 fusion proteins (including 2 via immunoblot). ESR1 REs are highly enriched in ER-positive, metastatic disease and co-occur with known ESR1 missense alterations, suggestive of polyclonal resistance. Importantly, all fusions result from a breakpoint in or near ESR1 intron 6 and therefore lack an intact ligand binding domain (LBD). In vitro characterization of three fusions reveals ligand-independence and hyperactivity dependent upon the 3′ partner gene. Our lower-bound estimate of ESR1 fusions is at least 1% of metastatic solid breast cancers, the prevalence in ctDNA is at least 10× enriched. We postulate this enrichment may represent secondary resistance to more aggressive endocrine therapies applied to patients with ESR1 LBD missense alterations. Conclusions Collectively, these data indicate that N-terminal ESR1 fusions involving exons 6–7 are a recurrent driver of endocrine therapy resistance and are impervious to ER-targeted therapies.

Background We sought to identify genomic alterations (GAs) in salivary mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Patients and methods DNA was extracted from 48 mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) including the calculation to tumor mutational burden (TMB) was performed on hybridization-captured adaptor ligation-based libraries of 315 cancer-related genes plus introns from 28 genes frequently rearranged for cancer and evaluated for all classes of GAs. Results A total of 183 GAs were found in 80 unique genes. High-grade tumors had more GAs (mean 5 ± 3.8) compared with low (2.3 ± 1.4) or intermediate (2.6 ± 1.5) (P = 0.019).TP53 GAs were seen in all tumor grades (41.7%) but were most common in high-grade malignancies (56%) (P = 0.047).CDKN2A GAs were seen in 41.6% of tumors. PI3K/mTOR pathway activation, includingPI3KCA mutations, were more common in high grade (52%) than in low- and intermediate-grade tumors (4.3%) (P = 0.007).BAP1 GAs were observed in 20.8% of tumors andBRCA1/2 GAs present in 10.5% of specimens.ERBB2 amplifications were seen in only 8.3% of tumors. The TMB for this patient group was relatively low with only 5 (10%) of cases having greater than 10 mutations/megabase of sequenced DNA. Conclusion CGP of salivary mucoepidermoid carcinomas revealed diverse GAs that may lead to customized treatment options for patients with these rare tumors.

Objectives A rare subset of aggressive SMARCA4-deficient uterine sarcomas (SMARCA4-DUS) has been recently proposed, with only a limited number of cases having been previously described. Since potential targeted therapies exist for SMARCA4-defficient tumors, we sought to validate and expand the clinicopathological and molecular features of SMARCA4-DUS. Methods A retrospective database search of a large, CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited, reference molecular laboratory was performed for clinically advanced uterine sarcomas with genomic profiles that contained SMARCA4 mutations. Clinicopathological data were extracted from patient records Morphological and molecular features were centrally reviewed. Results Here, we identify and describe the clinicopathological and genomic features of 17 additional cases of SMARCA4-DUS. Median patient age was 51 years (range 33–70). Most tumors were aggressive with distant metastasis. SMARCA4-DUS demonstrated predominantly rhabdoid or large epithelioid cells with abundant cytoplasm, but also had varying degrees of small cell and spindle cell morphology. Tumors were microsatellite stable and exhibited no other or only few co-occurring genomic alterations by comprehensive genomic profiling. We discovered one patient, who developed SMARCA4-DUS at age of 55, had a germline SMARCA4 mutation, whose daughter had previously died of small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), at the age of 32. Conclusions Our data support the notion that SMARCA4 inactivation is the driver oncogenic event of a morphologically and molecularly distinct form of uterine sarcoma. Identification of SMARCA4-DUS may be clinically important due to their aggressive behavior, germline association and emerging targeted therapies.

Background: Non-amplification ERBB2 alterations (ERBB2 mut) in advanced/metastatic breast cancer (mBC) are not detected by IHC or FISH, but when detected by DNA sequencing assays can lead to clinical responses to anti-HER2 targeted therapy. We queried a database of more than 43,000 clinical cases to uncover the frequency, type and associated genomic alterations (GA) in mBC driven by ERBB2 mut and highlight clinical responses to small molecule drug and antibody-based anti-HER2 therapeutics. Methods: DNA was extracted from 40 microns of FFPE sections from 5,605 mBC. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed using a hybrid-capture, adaptor ligation based next generation sequencing assay of up to 315 genes to a mean coverage depth of >600X. The results were analyzed for base substitutions, short insertions and deletions, selected rearrangements, and copy number changes. Results: 698 (12.5%) of 5,605 mBC featured ERBB2 alterations. 596 (10.6%) featured ERBB2 amplifications and 137 (2.4%) featured ERBB2mut. 35 (0.6%) of total mBC had both ERBB2amp and ERBB2mut, which accounted for 5.0% of all ERBB2 altered mBC. The 137 ERBB2mut mBC cases had a median age of 61 years (range 29 to 93 years) and were sequenced to a mean depth of 600X. Samples utilized for CGP included 52 (38%) from the patient's primary BC and 85 (62%) from metastatic sites including bone/soft tissue/skin (12%), liver (20%), LN (14%), serous cavities (6%), lung (4%) and miscellaneous sites (6%). 71 (52%) mBC were submitted as carcinoma NOS, 44 (32%) as IDC, 22 (16%) as ILC and 1 (1%) as mucinous mBC. Of the 137 ERBB2mut cases, 8 featured more than 1 ERBB2 mut. There were 124 (85%) ERBB2 kinase domain mutations and 15 (10%) extra-cellular domain ERBB2mut. The most common genes co-altered in ERBB2mut mBC were TP53 (49%), PIK3CA (42%), CDH1 (37%), MYC (17%), and CCND1 (16%). The enrichment of ERBB2mut in CDH1 mut mBR was significant (p=0.0006) and associated with relapsed lobular mBC. Multiple case examples of kinase domain and extra-cellular domain ERBB2mut mBC responding to a variety of anti-HER2 targeted therapies will be presented. Conclusions: In this large series of 5,605 mBC, 20% of the total ERBB2 alterations were non-amplification ERBB2mut not detectable by standard of care IHC and FISH slide-based HER2 tests. Given the demonstration of ERBB2mut driven mBC responsive to anti-HER2 targeted therapies in this study, expansion of clinical trials designed to detect these ERBB2mut cases with CGP and optimize the targeted therapies for these patients is strongly recommended.

Background Recognition of rare molecular subgroups is a challenge for precision oncology and may lead to tissue-agnostic approval of targeted agents. Here we aimed to comprehensively characterize the clinical, pathological and molecular landscape of RET rearranged metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients and methods In this case series, we compared clinical, pathological and molecular characteristics of 24 RET rearranged mCRC patients with those of a control group of 291 patients with RET negative tumors. RET rearranged and RET negative mCRCs were retrieved by systematic literature review and by taking advantage of three screening sources: (i) Ignyta's phase 1/1b study on RXDX-105 (NCT01877811), (ii) cohorts screened at two Italian and one South Korean Institutions and (iii) Foundation Medicine Inc. database. Next-generation sequencing data were analyzed for RET rearranged cases. Results RET fusions were more frequent in older patients (median age of 66 versus 60 years, P = 0.052), with ECOG PS 1-2 (90% versus 50%, P = 0.02), right-sided (55% versus 32%, P = 0.013), previously unresected primary tumors (58% versus 21%, P

Background The PURE01 study (NCT02736266) evaluates preoperative pembrolizumab before radical cystectomy (RC). Here, the possibility to predict the pathologic complete response (pT0) after neoadjuvant immunotherapy could have paradigm-shifting implications for the management of patients with MIBC. Methods The reported analyses include comprehensive genomic profiling with FoundationONE CDx assay and programmed cell-death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS, Dako 22C3 antibody) on baseline TURB samples. Multivariable logistic regression analyses (MVA) evaluated clinical T-stage and biomarkers (tumor mutational burden [TMB], and CPS) in association with pT0 response. Multivariable-derived coefficients were used to develop a novel risk calculator. Decision-curve analysis was used to evaluate the net benefit of the predictive model. Results From 02/2017 to 06/2019, 112 patients with full biomarker data were enrolled. At MVA, only CPS showed a significant association with pT0 (p = 0.005). Increasing TMB and CPS values featured a linear association with logistic pT0 probabilities (p = 0.02 and p = 0.004). Very high TMB values, associated with a predicted probability of pT0 > = 55%, were independent from CPS contribution. The coefficients of the predictive model were used to develop a risk calculator. The c-index of the model was 0.77. At decision-curve analysis, the net-benefit of the model was higher than the “treat-all” option from more than 10% threshold probabilities. Conclusion We presented the first biomarker-based risk stratification tool that can be used to recommend use of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in those patients who have equal or greater chances to achieve a pT0 status compared to the literature on neoadjuvant chemotherapy or to RC alone, depending on cisplatin eligibility.

Introduction Environ 7 % des melanomes surviennent dans un contexte evocateur d’une predisposition hereditaire, or seuls 20 % d’entre eux ont une cause moleculaire clairement identifiee a ce jour. Au decours de l’analyse somatique d’un melanome, il arrive de detecter des mutations constitutionnelles. Materiel et methodes Le test NGS FoundationOne® permettant le sequencage de 315 genes a ete propose a un patient de 23 ans atteint de melanome stade III dans un contexte de multiples antecedents familiaux de melanomes (mere et 2 sœurs, l’une decedee de son melanome a 33 ans). Une CGH-array a ete realisee a partir d’ADN tumoral. L’immunohistochimie (IHC) des proteines impliquees dans la voie Wnt/β-catenine a ete realisee sur le melanome du patient et une serie de melanomes controles. Les caracteristiques cliniques de la famille ont ete recueillies. Resultats Le test FoundationOne® sur ADN tumoral a mis en evidence une mutation BRAFV600E avec une frequence allelique (FA) de 3 % associee a une mutation CTNNA1 F611fs*10 (gene suppresseur de tumeur codant pour l’α-catenine). Cette mutation, responsable d’un decalage du cadre de lecture induisant un codon stop, est trouvee avec une FA de 41 %. Cette discordance de FA pouvait faire evoquer une mutation constitutionnelle de CTNNA1, confirmee dans le sang de sa mere et sa sœur. La CGH sur l’ADN tumoral a identifie une perte segmentaire du chromosome 5 en 5q31.2. Cette perte bi-allelique de CTNNA1 se traduit par une perte d’expression de CTNNA1 en IHC dans le melanome du patient. Sur le plan clinique, les 7 melanomes familiaux ont ete operes a un âge moyen de 29 ans (18–56), 2 etaient avances (Breslow 6,7 mm/metastatique d’emblee), et les autres etaient des SSM in situ (n = 4) ou de Breslow 0,56 mm (n = 1). Le patient index presente une agenesie dentaire, une fente labiopalatine et un goitre multinodulaire. Enfin, le sequencage haut debit FoundationOne® sur une serie de 4889 melanomes successifs a retrouve CTNNA1 mute dans 145 cas (3 %). Les mutations perte de fonction sont frequemment associees a des mutations activatrices de BRAF ou NRAS. Discussion CTNNA1 est un frein de la voie Wnt/β-catenine. In vitro, sa perte de fonction favorise l’evolution metastatique par hyperproliferation et perte d’adhesion cellulaire. Des mutations germinales CTNNA1 ont ete mises en cause dans les cancers du sein lobulaires et les cancers gastriques diffus familiaux. Nous decrivons ici la 1ere mutation CTNNA1 dans un contexte de melanomes familiaux. Conclusion CTNNA1 est un bon candidat pour expliquer les multiples melanomes de cette famille, avec selon le modele des 2 hits de Knudson, une mutation constitutionnelle tronquante de CTNNA1 et une perte somatique d’un segment du chromosome 5. Outre des perspectives de prevention/depistage precoce du melanome chez les porteurs de mutation CTNNA1, une meilleure connaissance de cette voie oncogenique pourrait aider a concevoir de nouvelles strategies de combinaison de therapies ciblees dans le traitement du melanome.

Background BRAF genomic alterations (GA) occur in multiple tumor types and BRAF/MEK targeted therapies are approved in melanoma and NSCLC. Diverse mechanisms of AR to these therapies have been proposed but have not been comprehensively assessed. Methods Hybrid-capture based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on FFPE (n = 228,629) or blood-based cell free DNA (cfDNA, n = 15,069) samples for 222,952 patients (pts). Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 0.8-1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA. Samples without evidence of tumor DNA or known to have not received RAF/MEK inhibitors were excluded. Paired samples were collected >60 days apart (median 523, range 71-5571). Results Paired samples with BRAF V600E (64%) or other activating BRAF GA (36%) were available for 154 pts with NSCLC (20%), melanoma (19%), CRC (15%) myeloma (8.4%) glioma (7.1%) or other (30%) cancers. Acquired GA previously described preclinically or clinically including in BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, MEK1, PIK3CA, PTEN, MET, and CCND1 occurred in 34 cases (Table). 56 additional cases had reportable acquired GA in other genes (eg. STK11, NF1). Median TMB was 4.0 vs 5.2 mut/Mb in the first vs second sample (p = 0.23). In 12% of cases (9 tissue, 9 cfDNA) a BRAF GA was not detected in the second sample. Most AR mechanisms (MET amp, KRAS mut, secondary BRAF GA) were tumor agnostic, but PIK3CA and PTEN GA were enriched in brain samples and absent in CRC, and NRAS mut were exclusive to melanoma (Table). Treatment status was available for a subset of cases. Notably V600E CRC, NSCLC and melanoma each had acquired MET amp post-dabrafenib + trametinib, and a V600E myeloma had acquired MEK C121S post-trametinib + vemurafenib. Additional clinical data will be presented. Table: 1878PD .

Conclusions Novel and previously observed potential AR alterations in paired BRAF altered clinical samples were detected using CGP. Most AR mechanisms appeared independent of tumor type and biopsy site. Additional clinical studies to explore effective treatments for these AR subsets are needed.

Background The CUPISCO trial (NCT03498521) is an ongoing, phase II, randomised, multicentre study comparing molecularly-guided therapy with standard platinum-based chemotherapy in newly diagnosed poor-risk CUP patients. Methods Eligible patients have poor-risk adeno- or undifferentiated CUP as defined by ESMO 2015 guidelines and tissue for molecular sequencing. Local sites initiate the screening process with potentially eligible patients. Patients then undergo central Eligibility Review (ER), a cooperative effort between a central pathology laboratory, external referent oncologists and each site’s investigator and pathology laboratory to confirm the diagnosis. Patients with favourable prognostic subsets or with a strong suspicion of an existing primary site of origin based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) signature and clinical picture are excluded. Results As of 19 March 2019, 157 patients had been screened, of whom 91 (58%) failed screening. Three patients were successfully re-screened. Of the 88 patients who permanently failed screening, 23 were due to technical reasons (e.g. insufficient quality/quantity of tissue for sequencing), 20 for failure to meet inclusion/exclusion criteria not directly related to CUP diagnosis, and 14 for other reasons (e.g. declining health status). A set of 31 patients were not enrolled because the CUP diagnosis could not be confirmed at the IHC level, 19 of those after ER review. Central IHC review results included pathological signatures more typical of specific primary tumours (e.g. prostate cancer or melanoma), or marker combinations typically positive in favourable CUP subsets or rare tumour entities. Conclusions Experience with the CUPISCO study has highlighted challenges with standardised screening and diagnostic processes in an international clinical trial and the difficulties inherent in accurate diagnosis of poor-risk CUP. Confirming a CUP diagnosis for a clinical trial with multiple review checkpoints can result in many reasons for screen failures. By sharing this experience, we aim to foster understanding and to improve diagnostic algorithms for CUP. Clinical trial identification NCT03498521.

Background cHCC-CCA is a rare primary liver carcinoma, with histologic features of both hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and liver cholangiocarcinomas (CCA). In order to elucidate their shared and distinctive biology, we used CGP to compare the genomic alterations (GA) of cHCC-CCA with those of HCC and CCA. Methods 1269 HCC, 3965 CCA and 44 cHCC-CCA were assayed by hybrid capture based CGP on 0.8-1.1 Mb of the coding genome to identify GAs in exons and select introns in up to 404 genes, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite status (MSI) and % monoallelic genome (gLOH). Utilizing the significant differences in GAs, biomarkers, and demographics between HCC and CCAs (Fischer exact test, FDR 10% shown, Table), we built a random forest-based machine learning model to rank a cHCC-CCA specimen in the CCA-HCC spectrum (Out of Bag error rate = 12.6%, AUC = 0.94). Results Biomarkers exclusively associated with one disease type included IDH1 (15% in CCA vs 1% in HCC, p = 1e-57), TERT (4% in CCA vs 47% in HCC, p = 2e-273) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV, 0.8% in CCA vs 8.5% in HCC, p = 9e-42). 10/44 cHCC-CCA were classified as CCA-like (IDH1 = 4/10, HBV = 0/10, TERT = 0/10, median TMB = 0.9) and 21/44 cases as HCC-like (IDH1=0/21, HBV=5/21, TERT = 15/21, median TMB = 4). 13/44 cHCC-CCA featured ambiguous/conflicting CGP findings (IDH1=0/13, HBV=1/13, TERT = 0/13, median TMB = 4). 5/13 cHCC-CCA had a computational tumor purity Table . 677PD HCC CCA GAs TERT, CTNNB1, MYC CDKN2A/B, KRAS, ARID1A, IDH1, BAP1, PBRM1, FGFR2 Biomarkers HBV +, low gLOH, intermediate TMB HBV -, high gLOH, low TMB Demographics Male, Younger patients, African & East Asian ancestry Female, Older patients, European ancestry Conclusions Using a machine learning model, the prevalence and mutual exclusivity of IDH1/2, FGFR2, TERT, CTNNB1 and other key GAs, suggest that the majority of cHCC-CCA cases fall into molecular subgroups either similar to CCA or HCC. These findings suggest that cHCC-CCA is not a true disease entity but may be a conglomerate of transformed CCA and HCC. Legal entity responsible for the study Foundation Medicine.

Over the last decade, new drugs have significantly changed the paradigm for treating multiple myeloma (MM), resulting in improved outcomes and reduced toxicity. However, many patients with MM relapse, and those who are refractory to or relapse after therapy with an immune-modulatory drug and a proteasome inhibitor have a dismal prognosis.1 Improving the outcome of relapsed and refractory MM is a significant clinical challenge. Importantly, in this respect, recently published data have established the frequent mutation of the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway,2, 3, 4, 5 with mutations in NRAS, KRAS or BRAF being present in up to 50% of newly diagnosed MM cases. We routinely perform comprehensive genomic profiling using the FoundationOne Heme assay (Supplementary Methods). Review of these data shows the majority of the NRAS, KRAS and BRAF mutations occur in hotspots causing constitutive activation of the corresponding proteins. This makes the MAPK pathway a significant therapeutic target in MM.

Founded in April 2000, the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) describes itself as “an independent labor rights monitoring organization, conducting investigations of working conditions in factories around the globe” whose “purpose is to combat sweatshops and protect the rights of workers who sew apparel and make other products sold in the United States” (Worker Rights Consortium 2009a). Created by the “sweatfree campus” movement organized by United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) in the mid 1990s, the WRC had, as of December 2009, 186 university and college and four high school affiliates. While some affiliations were voluntary and enthusiastic, others joined only after student sit-ins and/or hunger strikes (Featherstone & USAS 2002).

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is among the most curable childhood cancers with a 90% overall survival in the good-risk category.1 Though the remission and cure rates among newly diagnosed patients have improved, the prognosis for those with relapsed disease remains poor. Better risk stratification integrating cytogenetics and genomics has enabled improvements in therapy and prediction of relapse. Recently the clinical utility of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has been recognized, in particular, for risk stratification of about 25–30% of childhood ALL patients who do not appear to harbor any of the established chromosomal abnormalities (Supplementary Information).2 By way of illustration, a novel subgroup of BCR-ABL1-like ALL has been described, in which patients lack the BCR-ABL1 fusion but exhibit a gene expression profile similar to that of BCR-ABL1-positive ALL.3 Furthermore, some of these patients have been demonstrated to harbor tyrosine kinase-activating fusion genes, notably including PDGFRB and JAK2 fusions. The EBF1-PDGFRB gene fusion has been well studied and found to be responsive to the ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), imatinib mesylate.4, 5, 6 Here, we have identified three novel PDGFRB fusions (PDGFRB fused to each of SATB1, AGGF1 and DOCK2) in children with either precursor B-cell (B-ALL) or T-cell ALL (T-ALL). We report the clinical utility of CGP to characterize these previously undescribed activating fusion genes, in conjunction with childhood B- or T-ALL, and describe responses to TKIs.

Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are drivers for a subset of lung cancers. Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) recently approved for the treatment of T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, acquired resistance to osimertinib is evident and resistance mechanisms remain incompletely defined. The EGFR G724S mutation was detected using hybrid-capture based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and a hybrid-capture based circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays in two cases of EGFR-driven lung adenocarcinoma in patients who had progressed on osimertinib treatment. This study demonstrates the importance of both tissue and blood based hybrid-capture based genomic profiling at disease progression to identifying novel resistance mechanisms in the clinic.

AimsSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) carries a poor prognosis, and the systemic therapies currently used as treatments are only modestly effective, as demonstrated by a low 5-year survival at only ∼5%. In this retrospective collected from March 2013 to study, we performed comprehensive genomic profiling of 98 small cell undifferentiated lung cancer (SCLC) samples to identify potential targets of therapy not currently searched for in routine clinical practice.MethodsDNA from 98 SCLC was sequenced to high, uniform coverage (Illumina HiSeq 2500) and analysed for all classes of genomic alterations.ResultsA total of 386 alterations were identified for an average of 3.9 alterations per tumour (range 1–10). Fifty-two (53%) of cases harboured at least 1 actionable alteration with the potential to personalise therapy including base substitutions, amplifications or homozygous deletions in RICTOR (10%), KIT (7%), PIK3CA (6%), EGFR (5%), PTEN (5%), KRAS (5%), MCL1 (4%), FGFR1 (4%), BRCA2, (4%), TSC1 (3%), NF1 (3%), EPHA3 (3%) and CCND1. The most common non-actionable genomic alterations were alterations in TP53 (86% of SCLC cases), RB1 (54%) and MLL2 (17%).ConclusionsGreater than 50% of the SCLC cases harboured at least one actionable alteration. Given the limited treatment options and poor prognosis of patients with SCLC, comprehensive genomic profiling has the potential to identify new treatment paradigms and meet an unmet clinical need for this disease.

Background ENB is a rare skull base tumor arising from the olfactory neuroepithelium with variable prognosis and no consensus guidelines for treatment. Previous genomic studies (Classe 2018, Capper 2018) have reported scant genomic alterations (GA) in advanced and metastatic ENB (mENB), including mutation of IDH2. Here, we explore the cytogenetic landscape of in 94 cases of mENB as assessed by NGS-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). Methods Tumour specimens from 94 patients with mENB were assayed using hybrid capture-based CGP to delineate all classes of GA as point mutations, insertions deletions (indels), rearrangements and focal ( Results mENB cases had 1 or fewer GA detected in 80% (75/94) of cases with a corresponding median tumor mutational burden of 1.5 mut/mb. TP53 was the most frequently altered gene in the cohort, while IDH2 mutations were found in only 2 cases (2.1%). Focal and homozygous deletions were identified in 11.7% (11/94) and 14.9% (14/94) of cases respectively. We then assessed chr arm gain and LOH1/X and identified a median of 11 events per case. Based on chr arm level changes, we identified 3 distinct subtypes of mENB: type IA (n = 53), defined by wide spread LOHx, type IB (n = 22), defined by wide spread LOH1, and type II (n = 19) generally lacking arm CNA. Type IB lacked chr5 or chr20 gain, which were both seen in 36% of type IA (p = 0.001). Patients with IA/B types were older than type II (mean 54.9 v 46.5 years, p = 0.015) and both IDH2 mutated cases segregated into type II. Conclusions Given the pauci-mutational genomic landscape of mENB, clustering by chr arm level changes identifies distinct classes of mENB, which were associated with biologic factors including age and IDH2 mutation. Further studies to correlate clinico-pathologic characteristics with the cytogenetic characteristics of these newly defined subtypes of mENB are needed.

Background In PURE01 study (NCT02736266), neoadjuvant pembro resulted in 42% pT0 in patients (pts) with MIBC. pT0 pts had features suggesting pre-existing immunity or higher tumor mutational burden (TMB) may promote response. In this study, we investigated potential mechanisms for resistance to pembro, including FGFR3 genomic alterations (GA). Methods Pts enrolled in the PURE-01, which is still recruiting pts in its amended design, had predominant urothelial carcinoma histology and stage cT ≤ 4N0 MIBC. Biomarker analyses in the expanded cohort of 96 pts included PD-L1 combined positive score and comprehensive genomic profiling (FoundationCDx assay). In addition, TCGA MIBC (n = 405) and a prospective commercial cohort (PCC) of 415 MIBC pts from the clinical use of the Decipher Bladder TURB test from the GRID registry (NCT02609269) were analyzed. A single-sample genomic classifier (GC) was trained to identify FGFR3-active tumors (FGFR3+). Results In PURE01 cohort, despite a linear association of TMB with ypT0 in multivariable models (p = 0.017), there was no association between FGFR3 GA and pathological response nor with PD-L1 expression. FGFR3 GA were found in 17.6% ypT0 vs 20.7% in ypT3-4 disease (corrected p = 0.82). Applying the GC to the TCGA MIBC cohort, we found 45% of FGFR3+ cases had FGFR3 mutations vs 9% for the rest of the cohort. Applying the GC to the PCC, we found that the FGFR3+ tumors were Luminal (n = 14), Luminal Infiltrated (n = 10) or Luminal Papillary (n = 30). FGFR3+ pts showed significantly lower PD-L1 (-0.03 vs. 0.109, p Conclusions In our combined cohorts, FGFR3 GA did not correlate with response to pembro. FGFR3 GA are enriched in FGFR3+ tumors, which in turn tend to have lower immune activity, PD-L1 and PD-L2, suggesting FGFR3 activity may provide a potential tool for further discriminating the mechanisms underlying response and resistance to neoadjuvant pembro in MIBC.

Background Standard CUP therapy has not changed for decades. CUPISCO (NCT03498521) is an ongoing randomised prospective trial using CGP to assign CUP pts to individualised targeted or immunotherapy arms (molecularly guided therapy; MGT). Methods Archival tissue from 303 centrally reviewed undifferentiated- and adeno-CUP cases in the FoundationCore™ database underwent hybrid capture-based CGP (FoundationOne® CDx). Microsatellite instability (MSI), tumour mutational burden (TMB) and genomic loss of heterozygosity (gLOH) were calculated (Frampton Nat Biotechnol 2013; Swisher Lancet Oncol; Chambers Genome Med 2017). PD-L1 expression was measured by DAKO 22C3 immunohistochemistry. Pts were classified by whether CGP results could have informed assignment to CUPISCO arms; TTF-1+, CK7–/CK20+/CDX2+ or TMPRSS2:ERG+ cases were excluded. Results The sex ratio was 1:1; median age was 67 yrs (range 22–89+). CGP revealed 96 pts (32%) matched to a CUPISCO arm (Table). Table . 1983PD_PR CUPISCO arm % Genomic alterations Alectinib 0.66 Vismodegib 1.32 Ipatasertib 8.25 Olaparib 5.61 Erlotinib + bevacizumab 2.31 Vemurafenib + cobimetinib 2.97 Subcutaneous trastuzumab + pertuzumab + chemo 9.24 Atezolizumab 9.24 Entrectinib (in development) 0.33 Mean TMB was 8 mut/Mb; 23% had ≥10 (low), 12%, ≥16 (int) and 9%, ≥20 (high). 3 (1%) had high MSI and 20%, gLOH ≥16. 42 (14%) had high PD-L1 (tumour proportion score ≥50%). Key genomic alterations included HER2 (7%), PIK3CA, NF1 (6% each), NF2 (5%), BRAF, PTEN, FGFR2, EGFR, MET (all 4%), CDK6 (3%), FBXW7 and CDK4 (2% each). Key gene fusions involved ALK, RET and ROS1 (all 1%). KRAS was mutated in 27%; 6% had G12C alterations. Of the 23 assessable high TMB cases, 8 (35%) had a tobacco and 5 (22%) a UV light or mismatch repair mutational signature. 20% of cases harboured a putative cancer-associated germline DNA mutation. Conclusions 32% of CUP pts would have been potentially eligible for MGT in CUPISCO. Future studies including additional biomarkers, such as PD-L1–positivity and gLOH, may identify a greater proportion of CUP pts potentially benefitting from individualised treatment.

Background GBAC is an aggressive neoplasm with an abysmal 5-year survival rate and no approved targeted therapies. Incidence of GBAC varies greatly across global geographical regions, with highest reported rates in South and East Asia. We evaluated whether GBAC patients have differential genomic profiles as correlated to ancestry. Methods CGP was performed by an adaptor-ligation/hybrid capture-based assay of coding DNA of 315 cancer-related genes and select introns of 28 genes that are frequently involved in genomic rearrangements to detect base substitutions, insertions and deletions, copy number alterations, and rearrangements. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability (MSI) was assessed across 114 homopolymeric loci. Patient ancestry was determined by single nucleotide polymorphism microarray data, ancestry informative markers, and principal component analysis. Results The genomic profiles of tumour samples from 881 patients with GBAC were reviewed. Of these samples, 22 (2.50%) were derived from individuals of South Asian ancestry (SAS), 61 (6.92%) from East Asian (EAS) ancestry and the remainder were distributed among African, American, and European ancestry (Others). Age and gender were similar across all three groups, except for an enrichment in SAS male patients (SAS male 68.2%, EAS male 32.7%, Others male 31.2%; p = 0.001). MSI was uncommon in all three groups (0.007% overall) and TMB was low (median 2.6 mut/mb). The most commonly altered genes across all three groups were TP53, CDKN2A/B and SMAD4 (all: 64%, 53%, 17%) while alterations in ERBB2 (23% v 30% v 14%, p = 0.03) and CTNNB1 (14% v 11% v 3%, p = 0.001) were enriched in SAS and EAS populations. Amongst ERBB2 altered cases, amplifications were seen at similar frequencies across all three groups (80% v 72% v 72%), while less than half of all ERBB2 point mutations occurred at the S310 codon (18/67, 27%). Conclusions GBAC patients of SAS and EAS ancestry were enriched for ERBB2 and CTNBB1 relative to other ancestries. Follow-up studies are needed to understand the genomic context of this finding, as well as the influence of cancer predisposition genes in the context of ancestry specific oncogenesis.

Background Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a highly conserved component of energy production and metabolism. Genetic or epigenetic inactivation of SDH (dSDH) creates a state of intracellular pseudohypoxia that is uniquely oncogenic for subtypes of GIST, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma (PGL/Pheo), and pituitary adenoma/carcinoma (PAC). dSHD stems from homozygous loss of one of four subunit encoding genes SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD (aka, SDHx). dSDH is not targetable, and preclinical models are poorly viable. In the current study we analyze comprehensive genomic profiles (CGP) from a dSDH pan-tumor cohort for potential therapy-enabling non-SDHx genomic alterations and biomarkers (GA). Methods 231,706 clinical grade CGP were searched for dSDH GIST, RCC, PGL/Pheo, and PAC. GA were determined on 1.1 Mb genome sequence encompassing up to 324 cancer genes. dSDH was further established by histopathology review and analysis of SDHx homozygous loss. Germline and zygosity status of SDHx variants were performed by SGZ algorithm. Non-SDHx GA were assessed for therapeutic actionability. Results 82 SDH-deficient neoplasms were analyzed (Table). 0 of 38 GIST had highly actionable GA. In one case a subclonal KIT variant was identified in a recurrence of an SDHA-mutant GIST treated with Imatinib for several years. No clonal canonical driver kinase mutations were identified in KIT, PDGFRA, NF1, BRAF, FGFR1 or NTRK1-3. 0 of 36 dSDH PGL/Pheo and 0 of 1 PAC had potential therapeutic options. 2 of 7 dSDH RCC reported potential treatment options for oncogenic variants in EGFR and CDK4. No dSDH tumors had high TMB, microsatellite instability, or LOH score indicative of homologous recombination defect (HRD). Overall, 2 of 82 tumors (2.4%) harbored highly actionable GA.

Background KRAS GA are common oncogenic drivers. Effective systemic treatment of KRAS altered cancers has been largely elusive; however covalent inhibitors of G12C (AMG510, MRTX849) and SHP2 inhibitors (TNO155, RMC-4630) have recently entered the clinic in multiple tumor types. Methods Hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on tumor samples from 213,312 unique patients with solid or hematological malignancies. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 0.8-1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA. PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC (22C3 or SP142 antibodies) for 17% of cases. Results KRAS GA were detected in 22% (n = 46,182) of cases: 88% mutations (m; >99% substitutions and A), and G12V (primarily G>T) and G12C (exclusively G>T) from transversions. G12C was most frequent in LUAD (14%, 3,613/25,968) and PSC (11%, 40/353) but uncommon in pancreatic (1.7%, 161/9,723) and GI (2.7%, 941/35,019) where G12D/V were most common. Tobacco signature (TS; 20% vs 4.5% vs 3.5%), elevated TMB (median 7.0 vs 3.5 vs 3.5 mut/Mb) and PD-L1 positivity (56% vs 29% vs 31%) were all significantly associated with G12C vs non-G12C KRASm and non-KRASm cancers (all p Conclusions Diverse KRAS GA are frequent across cancers and subtypes are associated with different solid malignancies. G12C is most common in LUAD and associated with smoking, elevated TMB and PD-L1 positivity. As multiple trials of novel therapeutic agents are currently enrolling for KRAS GA, CGP to identify these alterations is needed. Legal entity responsible for the study The authors.

Background Interim results from APACHE (NCT03081923) have been presented, with the monotherapy arm stopped for futility (Necchi, Eur Urol 2018). Updated results with the expanded combination therapy cohort are presented. Methods Apache is an open-label, randomized, 3-stage, phase 2 study. Pts who have failed ≥2 chemotherapy (CT) regimens received Durva, 1.5 gr q4w, x 13 cycles (arm A) or Durva plus with Treme, 75 mg q4w, x 4 cycles, followed by Durva alone x total 13 cycles (arm B). The primary endpoint is the modified objective response-rate (mORR=RECIST 1.1 complete or partial response [PR] or stable disease [SD]+STM reduction >10%). H0: mORR rate ≤10%, H1: mORR ≥25% (α and β = 10%). The total sample size of 120 pts is split into 3 stages: in stage 1, each arm is terminated whenever no response is observed in 11 pts/arm. In stage 2, 29 additional pts/arm are enrolled. Biomarker analyses include: PD-L1 expression on immune cells (Ventana SP142) and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) with FoundationOne assay. Results From 02/17-11/18, 29 pts were enrolled (11 arm A and 18 arm B). 22 had gonadal and 7 extragonadal GCT, 19 had received >/=3 prior CT regimens. Median tumour mutational burden (TMB) was 4 mutations (mut)/mb, 1 pt showed microsatellite instability in arm A. 10 pts (34.5%) experienced any-Grade AEs, without differences between arms. In the expanded arm B, 2 responses (11.1%, 1 RECIST-PR in seminoma and 1 SD with STM reduction in nonseminoma) and 2 SD were observed. PD occurred regardless of PD-L1 expression and TMB. After median follow-up of 16.3 months, 12-month OS in arm A was 30% (95%CI: 7.2-57.7) and in arm B was 29.6% (95%CI: 10.2-52.2). Further CT post-PD was administered in 8 pts (27.6%), but was mostly ineffective (7/8 SD/PD). Conclusions Despite objective responses were rare with IO, long-term OS results are encouraging in very highly pre-treated GCT pts, suggesting a role for maintenance approach in earlier setting (2nd-line CT), and privileging Durva+Treme due to more responses. Conventional IO biomarkers did not allow for patient selection, and further research is warranted. Clinical trial identification NCT03081923. Legal entity responsible for the study AstraZeneca.

Background Using comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) we compared the frequency of IO biomarkers in ACB, UBC and SCCB. We also report the interim results of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in patients (pts) with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and variant histologies from PURE01 (NCT02736266). Methods Within FMI database, 143 cases of ACB, 2,142 cases of UCB and 83 cases of SCCB were subjected to CGP using a hybrid-capture based assay. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined on 114 loci. PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC using the Ventana SP-142 assay with >1% tumor cell or immunocyte (TILs) scoring positive. Among 96 pts of PURE01, 15 had predominant variant SCCB histology. Results ACB patients were younger and more often female than UBC and SCCB (P /= 20 mut/Mb (P Table . 930P Adenocarcinoma (ACB) Urothelial Carcinoma (UBC) Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCCB) Cases 143 2,142 83 Median Age (Range) In years 58 (24-83) 67 (19-88) 62 (31-88) Males/Females 57/86 1597/545 45/38 GA/tumor 5.4 7.7 8.2 MSI High 2/106 (2%) 11/1661 (1%) 1/69 (1%) CD274 (PD-L1) gene amplification 0 (0%) 17 (1%) 4 (5%) Mean TMB 2.4 mut/Mb 9.9 mut/Mb 10.4 mut/Mb TMB >/= 10 mut/Mb 14 (10%) 697 (32%) 26 (31%) TMB >/= 20 mut/Mb 4 (3%) 243 (11%) 13 (16%) PD-L1 IHC Positive Tumor Cells 2/11 (18%) 76/244 (31%) 3/10 (30%) PD-L1 IHC Positive TILs 0/11 (0%) 74/244 (29%) 3/10 (30%) Conclusions Deep sequencing reveals significant differences in IO biomarkers among the 3 major types of bladder carcinomas. UBC and SCCB have higher frequencies of high TMB and PD-L1 expression than ACB and SCCB has the highest frequency of CD274amplification. Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab showed preliminary activity in SCCB. Further study of IO biomarkers in coordination with therapy response and inclusion of SCCB appear warranted in perioperative IO trials. Legal entity responsible for the study Foundation Medicine.
