Single and multi-hit PIK3CA short variant (SV) genomic alterations (GA) in clinically advanced prostate cancer (CAPC): A genomic landscape study

258 Background: Tumors harboring 2 or more PIK3CA Short variants (SV) (“Multi-hit”) have been described in breast cancer as linked to enhanced clinical outcome from anti-PIK3CA targeted therapies including alpelisib and investigational agents in clinical trials. The landscape and clinical implications of multi-hit PIK3CA alterations in other tumors, including in CAPC, are underexplored. Methods: 19,978 CAPC samples underwent hybrid capture based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) to evaluate all classes of GA and determine tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), genomic ancestry, signature and loss of heterozygosity (gLOH). Tumor cell PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC (Dako 22C3). Results: 18,741 (93.8%) CAPC were PIK3CA wild type (WT), 1,155 (5.8%) featured a single PIK3CA SV and 82 (0.4%) featured multi-hit PIK3CA SVs. The median ages of CAPC patients with single hit (69.1 yrs) or multi-hit (68.7 yrs) PIK3CA SV were older than the PIK3CA WT (67.6 yrs) CAPC (p
