RESUMO

Introduction: Responses to first-line programmed cell death protein 1 inhibition vary among patients with metastatic NSCLC and a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score (TPS) greater than or equal to 50%. We previously reported improved clinical outcomes to first-line programmed cell death protein 1 inhibition in patients with metastatic NSCLC with a PD-L1 TPS of greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89% in a pilot study. Here, we report the three-year survival with first-line pembrolizumab and cemiplimab in two large independent cohorts of patients with PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89% and characterize genomic and immunophenotypic differences between these PD-L1 expression groups, which were largely unknown. Methods: We analyzed three-year outcomes of the following two independent cohorts: (1) a multicenter cohort of patients from four academic centers in the United States treated with pembrolizumab and (2) EMPOWER-Lung 1, randomized, phase III trial comparing first-line cemiplimab with chemotherapy. Tumor genomic profiling and multiplexed immunofluorescence were performed to evaluate genomic and immunophenotypic correlates of very high PD-L1 expression. Results: At three years of follow-up, progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; p < 0.001) and overall survival (HR, 0.70; p < 0.01) to first-line commercial pembrolizumab were significantly improved in patients with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89%. In the EMPOWER-Lung 1, patients assigned to the cemiplimab arm with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% also had significant improvements in progression-free survival (HR, 0.53; p < 0.0001) and overall survival (HR, 0.63; p = 0.007) compared with those with a PD-L1 of 50% to 89%. Tumor genomic profiling of 553 NSCLC samples revealed that mutations in STK11 and SMARCA4 were significantly more frequent in tumors with a PD-L1 TPS of 50% to 89% compared with those with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% (Q < 0.15), whereas BRCA2 was enriched in NSCLC samples with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% (Q < 0.15). Multiplexed immunofluorescence on 93 NSCLC samples identified higher intratumoral CD8+PD1+ T cells (p = 0.02) in tumors with PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89%. Conclusion: Pembrolizumab and cemiplimab were found to have long-term survival benefit and favorable genomic and immunophenotypic profile in patients with advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% compared with TPS 50% to 89%.

RESUMO

The deleterious impact of antibiotics (ATB) on the microbiome negatively influences immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) response in patients with cancer. We conducted a randomized phase I study (EudraCT:2019-A00240-57) with 148 healthy volunteers (HV) to test two doses of DAV132, a colon-targeted adsorbent, alongside intravenous ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), piperacillin-tazobactam (PTZ) or ceftriaxone (CRO) and a group without ATB. The primary objective of the study was to assess the effect of DAV132 on ATB plasma concentrations and both doses of DAV132 did not alter ATB levels. Secondary objectives included safety, darkening of the feces, and fecal ATB concentrations. DAV132 was well tolerated, with no severe toxicity and similar darkening at both DAV132 doses. DAV132 led to significant decrease in CZA or PTZ feces concentration. When co-administered with CZA or PTZ, DAV132 preserved microbiome diversity, accelerated recovery to baseline composition and protected key commensals. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in preclinical cancer models in female mice from HV treated with CZA or PTZ alone inhibited anti-PD-1 response, while transplanted samples from HV treated with ATB + DAV132 circumvented resistance to anti-PD-1. This effect was linked to activated CD8+ T cell populations in the tumor microenvironment. DAV132 represents a promising strategy for overcoming ATB-related dysbiosis and further studies are warranted to evaluate its efficacy in cancer patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: MDM2, a negative regulator of the TP53 tumor suppressor, is oncogenic when amplified. MDM2 amplification (MDM2amp) is mutually exclusive with TP53 mutation and is seen in 6% of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), with significant enrichment in subsets with receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) driver alterations. Recent studies have shown synergistic activity of MDM2 and MEK inhibition in patient-derived LUAD models with MDM2amp and RTK driver alterations. However, the combination of MDM2 and RTK inhibitors in LUAD has not been studied. METHODS: We evaluated the combination of MDM2 and RTK inhibition in patient-derived models of LUAD. RESULTS: In a RET-fusion LUAD patient-derived model with MDM2amp, MDM2 inhibition with either milademetan or AMG232 combined with selpercatinib resulted in long-term in vivo tumor control markedly superior to either agent alone. Similarly, in an EGFR-mutated model with MDM2amp, combining either milademetan or AMG232 with osimertinib resulted in long-term in vivo tumor control, which was strikingly superior to either agent alone. CONCLUSION: These preclinical in vivo data provide a rationale for further clinical development of this combinatorial targeted therapy approach.

RESUMO

PURPOSEThe impact of the intratumoral microbiome on immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unknown. Preclinically, intratumoral Escherichia is associated with a proinflammatory tumor microenvironment and decreased metastases. We sought to determine whether intratumoral Escherichia is associated with outcome to ICI in patients with NSCLC.PATIENTS AND METHODSWe examined the intratumoral microbiome in 958 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with ICI by querying unmapped next-generation sequencing reads against a bacterial genome database. Putative environmental contaminants were filtered using no-template controls (n = 2,378). The impact of intratumoral Escherichia detection on overall survival (OS) was assessed using univariable and multivariable analyses. The findings were further validated in an external independent cohort of 772 patients. Escherichia fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and transcriptomic profiling were performed.RESULTSIn the discovery cohort, read mapping to intratumoral Escherichia was associated with significantly longer OS (16 v 11 months; hazard ratio, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.59 to 0.92]; P = .0065) in patients treated with single-agent ICI, but not combination chemoimmunotherapy. The association with OS in the single-agent ICI cohort remained statistically significant in multivariable analysis adjusting for prognostic features including PD-L1 expression (P = .023). Analysis of an external validation cohort confirmed the association with improved OS in univariable and multivariable analyses of patients treated with single-agent ICI, and not in patients treated with chemoimmunotherapy. Escherichia localization within tumor cells was supported by coregistration of FISH staining and serial hematoxylin and eosin sections. Transcriptomic analysis correlated Escherichia-positive samples with expression signatures of immune cell infiltration.CONCLUSIONRead mapping to potential intratumoral Escherichia was associated with survival to single-agent ICI in two independent cohorts of patients with NSCLC.

RESUMO

Anti-PD(L)-1 inhibition combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy (Chemo-IO) has become the most frequently used standard of care regimen in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The negative impact of antibiotics on clinical outcomes prior to anti-PD(L)-1 inhibition monotherapy (IO) has been demonstrated in multiple studies, but the impact of antibiotic exposure prior to initiation of Chemo-IO is controversial. We assessed antibiotic exposures at two time windows: within 60 days prior to therapy (-60 d window) and within 60 days prior to therapy and 42 days after therapy (-60 + 42d window) in 2028 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with Chemo-IO and IO monotherapy focusing on objective response rate (ORR: rate of partial response and complete response), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). We also assessed impact of antibiotic exposure in an independent cohort of 53 patients. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted along with a meta-analysis from similar studies. For the -60 d window, in the Chemo-IO group (N = 769), 183 (24%) patients received antibiotics. Antibiotic exposure was associated with worse ORR (27% vs 40%, p = 0.001), shorter PFS (3.9 months vs. 5.9 months, hazard ratio [HR] 1.35, 95%CI 1.1,1.6, p = 0.0012), as well as shorter OS (10 months vs. 15 months, HR 1.50, 95%CI 1.2,1.8, p = 0.00014). After adjusting for known prognostic factors in NSCLC, antibiotic exposure was independently associated with worse PFS (HR 1.39, 95%CI 1.35,1.7, p = 0.002) and OS (HR 1.61, 95%CI 1.28,2.03, p < 0.001). Similar results were obtained in the -60 + 42d window, and also in an independent cohort. In a meta-analysis of patients with NSCLC treated with Chemo-IO (N = 4) or IO monotherapy (N = 13 studies) antibiotic exposure before treatment was associated with worse OS among all patients (n = 11,351) (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.52, 2.45) and Chemo-IO-treated patients (n = 1201) (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.28, 1.84). Thus, antibiotics exposure prior to Chemo-IO is common and associated with worse outcomes, even after adjusting for other factors. These results highlight the need to implement antibiotic stewardship in routine oncology practice.

RESUMO

Colitis induced by treatment with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), termed irColitis, is a substantial cause of morbidity complicating cancer treatment. We hypothesized that abnormal fecal microbiome features would be present at the time of irColitis onset and that restoring the microbiome with fecal transplant from a healthy donor would mitigate disease severity. Herein, we present fecal microbiota profiles from 18 patients with irColitis from a single center, 5 of whom were treated with healthy-donor fecal microbial transplantation (FMT). Although fecal samples collected at onset of irColitis had comparable α-diversity to that of comparator groups with gastrointestinal symptoms, irColitis was characterized by fecal microbial dysbiosis. Abundances of Proteobacteria were associated with irColitis in multivariable analyses. Five patients with irColitis refractory to steroids and biologic anti-inflammatory agents received healthy-donor FMT, with initial clinical improvement in irColitis symptoms observed in four of five patients. Two subsequently exhibited recurrence of irColitis symptoms following courses of antibiotics. Both received a second "salvage" FMT that was, again, followed by clinical improvement of irColitis. In summary, we observed distinct microbial community changes that were present at the time of irColitis onset. FMT was followed by clinical improvements in several cases of steroid- and biologic-agent-refractory irColitis. Strategies to restore or prevent microbiome dysbiosis in the context of immunotherapy toxicities should be further explored in prospective clinical trials.

RESUMO

There is a need to identify predictive biomarkers to guide treatment strategies in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLCs). In this multi-institutional cohort of 197 patients with stage III NSCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiation (cCRT) and durvalumab consolidation, we identify that low tumor aneuploidy is independently associated with prolonged progression-free survival (HR 0.63; p=0.03) and overall survival (HR 0.50; p=0.03). Tumors with high aneuploidy had a significantly greater incidence of distant metastasis and shorter median distant-metastasis free survival (p=0.04 and p=0.048, respectively), but aneuploidy level did not associate with local-regional outcomes. Multiplexed immunofluorescence analysis in a cohort of NSCLC found increased intratumoral CD8-positive, PD-1-positive cells, double-positive PD-1 CD8 cells, and FOXP3-positive T-cell in low aneuploid tumors. Additionally, in a cohort of 101 patients treated with cCRT alone, tumor aneuploidy did not associate with disease outcomes. These data support the need for upfront treatment intensification strategies in stage III NSCLC patients with high aneuploid tumors and suggest that tumor aneuploidy is a promising predictive biomarker.

RESUMO

A polyphasic taxonomic approach, incorporating analysis of phenotypic features, cellular fatty acid profiles, 16S rRNA gene sequences, and determination of average nucleotide identity (ANI) plus digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), was applied to characterize an anaerobic bacterial strain designated KD22T isolated from human feces. 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis showed that strain KD22T was found to be most closely related to species of the genus Gabonibacter. At the 16S rRNA gene level, the closest species from the strain KD22T corresponded with Gabonibacter massiliensis GM7T, with a similarity of 97.58%. Cells of strain KD22T were Gram-negative coccobacillus, positive for indole and negative for catalase, nitrate reduction, oxidase, and urease activities. The fatty acid analysis demonstrated the presence of a high concentration of iso-C15: 0 (51.65%). Next, the complete whole-genome sequence of strain KD22T was 3,368,578 bp long with 42 mol% of DNA G + C contents. The DDH and ANI values between KD22T and type strains of phylogenetically related species were 67.40% and 95.43%, respectively. These phylogenetic, phenotypic, and genomic results supported the affiliation of strain KD22T as a novel bacterial species within the genus Gabonibacter. The proposed name is Gabonibacter chumensis and the type strain is KD22T (= CSUR Q8104T = DSM 115208 T).

RESUMO

Camu camu (CC) is a prebiotic that selectively stimulates growth and activity of beneficial gut microbiota. Work in murine models demonstrated that castalagin, the active compound in CC, preferentially binds to beneficial gut microbiome bacteria, promoting a stronger CD8+T cell anti-cancer response. We present two patients with metastatic melanoma whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and developed clinically significant immune-related adverse events (irAEs). They were rechallenged with ICIs in combination with CC. The first patient is a 71-year-old woman with metastatic melanoma, whose ICI treatment was complicated by immune-related pneumonitis and colitis. Upon progression on maintenance nivolumab, CC was added to nivolumab, leading to a near complete response (CR). The second patient is a 90-year-old man with recurrent unresectable melanoma, treated with nivolumab, complicated by immune-related rash and diabetes. He developed new subcutaneous calf lesions and a metastatic popliteal lymph node. CC was added to nivolumab. One month later, the patient experienced a CR. Both patients have been on nivolumab and CC with durable responses for more than a year, with minimal irAEs. These two cases suggest that CC may modulate the microbiome, synergizing with ICIs to produce deep, durable responses with minimal irAEs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Direct KRASG12C inhibitors are approved for patients with non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) in the second-line setting. The standard-of-care for initial treatment remains immune checkpoint inhibitors, commonly in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy (chemo-immunotherapy). Outcomes to chemo-immunotherapy in this subgroup have not been well described. Our goal was to define the clinical outcomes to chemo-immunotherapy in patients with NSCLC with KRASG12C mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Through next-generation sequencing, we identified patients with advanced NSCLC with KRAS mutations treated with chemo-immunotherapy at 2 institutions. The primary objective was to determine outcomes and determinants of response to first-line chemo-immunotherapy among patients with KRASG12C by evaluating objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). We assessed the impact of coalterations in STK11/KEAP1 on outcomes. As an exploratory objective, we compared the outcomes to chemo-immunotherapy in KRASG12C versus non-G12C groups. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty eight patients with KRASG12C treated with first-line chemo-immunotherapy were included. ORR was 41% (95% confidence interval (CI), 32-41), median PFS was 6.8 months (95%CI, 5.5-10), and median OS was 15 months (95%CI, 11-28). In a multivariable model for PFS, older age (P = .042), squamous cell histology (P = .008), poor ECOG performance status (PS) (P < .001), and comutations in KEAP1 and STK11 (KEAP1MUT/STK11MUT) (P = .015) were associated with worse PFS. In a multivariable model for OS, poor ECOG PS (P = .004) and KEAP1MUT/STK11MUT (P = .009) were associated with worse OS. Patients with KRASG12C (N = 138) experienced similar outcomes to chemo-immunotherapy compared to patients with non-KRASG12C (N = 185) for both PFS (P = .2) and OS (P = .053). CONCLUSIONS: We define the outcomes to first-line chemo-immunotherapy in patients with KRASG12C, which provides a real-world benchmark for clinical trial design involving patients with KRASG12C mutations. Outcomes are poor in patients with specific molecular coalterations, highlighting the need to develop more effective frontline therapies.

RESUMO

Background: Recent developments in artificial intelligence suggest that radiomics may represent a promising non-invasive biomarker to predict response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Nevertheless, validation of radiomics algorithms in independent cohorts remains a challenge due to variations in image acquisition and reconstruction. Using radiomics, we investigated the importance of scan normalization as part of a broader machine learning framework to enable model external generalizability to predict ICI response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients across different centers. Methods: Radiomics features were extracted and compared from 642 advanced NSCLC patients on pre-ICI scans using established open-source PyRadiomics and a proprietary DeepRadiomics deep learning technology. The population was separated into two groups: a discovery cohort of 512 NSCLC patients from three academic centers and a validation cohort that included 130 NSCLC patients from a fourth center. We harmonized images to account for variations in reconstruction kernel, slice thicknesses, and device manufacturers. Multivariable models, evaluated using cross-validation, were used to estimate the predictive value of clinical variables, PD-L1 expression, and PyRadiomics or DeepRadiomics for progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6). Results: The best prognostic factor for PFS-6, excluding radiomics features, was obtained with the combination of Clinical + PD-L1 expression (AUC = 0.66 in the discovery and 0.62 in the validation cohort). Without image harmonization, combining Clinical + PyRadiomics or DeepRadiomics delivered an AUC = 0.69 and 0.69, respectively, in the discovery cohort, but dropped to 0.57 and 0.52, in the validation cohort. This lack of generalizability was consistent with observations in principal component analysis clustered by CT scan parameters. Subsequently, image harmonization eliminated these clusters. The combination of Clinical + DeepRadiomics reached an AUC = 0.67 and 0.63 in the discovery and validation cohort, respectively. Conversely, the combination of Clinical + PyRadiomics failed generalizability validations, with AUC = 0.66 and 0.59. Conclusion: We demonstrated that a risk prediction model combining Clinical + DeepRadiomics was generalizable following CT scan harmonization and machine learning generalization methods. These results had similar performances to routine oncology practice using Clinical + PD-L1. This study supports the strong potential of radiomics as a future non-invasive strategy to predict ICI response in advanced NSCLC.

RESUMO

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a potential strategy to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with refractory melanoma; however, the role of FMT in first-line treatment settings has not been evaluated. We conducted a multicenter phase I trial combining healthy donor FMT with the PD-1 inhibitors nivolumab or pembrolizumab in 20 previously untreated patients with advanced melanoma. The primary end point was safety. No grade 3 adverse events were reported from FMT alone. Five patients (25%) experienced grade 3 immune-related adverse events from combination therapy. Key secondary end points were objective response rate, changes in gut microbiome composition and systemic immune and metabolomics analyses. The objective response rate was 65% (13 of 20), including four (20%) complete responses. Longitudinal microbiome profiling revealed that all patients engrafted strains from their respective donors; however, the acquired similarity between donor and patient microbiomes only increased over time in responders. Responders experienced an enrichment of immunogenic and a loss of deleterious bacteria following FMT. Avatar mouse models confirmed the role of healthy donor feces in increasing anti-PD-1 efficacy. Our results show that FMT from healthy donors is safe in the first-line setting and warrants further investigation in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We sought to identify features of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who achieve long-term response (LTR) to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), and how these might differ from features predictive of short-term response (STR). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We performed a multicenter retrospective analysis of patients with advanced NSCLC treated with ICIs between 2011 and 2022. LTR and STR were defined as response ≥ 24 months and response < 12 months, respectively. Tumor programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, tumor mutational burden (TMB), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and whole-exome sequencing (WES) data were analyzed to identify characteristics enriched in patients achieving LTR compared with STR and non-LTR. RESULTS: Among 3,118 patients, 8% achieved LTR and 7% achieved STR, with 5-year overall survival (OS) of 81% and 18% among LTR and STR patients, respectively. High TMB (≥50th percentile) enriched for LTR compared with STR (P = 0.001) and non-LTR (P < 0.001). Whereas PD-L1 ≥ 50% enriched for LTR compared with non-LTR (P < 0.001), PD-L1 ≥ 50% did not enrich for LTR compared with STR (P = 0.181). Nonsquamous histology (P = 0.040) and increasing depth of response [median best overall response (BOR) -65% vs. -46%, P < 0.001] also associated with LTR compared with STR; no individual genomic alterations were uniquely enriched among LTR patients. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with advanced NSCLC treated with ICIs, distinct features including high TMB, nonsquamous histology, and depth of radiographic improvement distinguish patients poised to achieve LTR compared with initial response followed by progression, whereas high PD-L1 does not.

RESUMO

Although concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) and durvalumab consolidation has become a standard treatment for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), clinicopathologic and genomic factors associated with its efficacy remain poorly characterized. Here, in a multi-institutional retrospective cohort study of 328 patients treated with CRT and durvalumab, we identify that very high PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) expression ( ≥ 90%) and increased tumor mutational burden (TMB) are independently associated with prolonged disease control. Additionally, we identify the impact of pneumonitis and its timing on disease outcomes among patients who discontinue durvalumab: compared to patients who experienced early-onset pneumonitis ( < 3 months) leading to durvalumab discontinuation, patients with late-onset pneumonitis had a significantly longer PFS (12.7 months vs not reached; HR 0.24 [95% CI, 0.10 to 0.58]; P = 0.001) and overall survival (37.2 months vs not reached; HR 0.26 [95% CI, 0.09 to 0.79]; P = 0.017). These findings suggest that opportunities exist to improve outcomes in patients with lower PD-L1 and TMB levels, and those at highest risk for pneumonitis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Single-agent PD-(L)1 blockade (IO) alone or in combination with chemotherapy (Chemotherapy-IO) is approved first-line therapies in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs) with PD-L1 expression ≥1%. These regimens have not been compared prospectively. The primary objective was to compare first-line efficacies of single-agent IO to Chemotherapy-IO in patients with advanced LUADs. Secondary objectives were to explore if clinical, pathological, and genomic features were associated with differential response to Chemotherapy-IO versus IO. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Inclusion criteria were patients with advanced LUADs with tumor PD-L1 ≥1% treated with first-line Chemotherapy-IO or IO. To compare the first-line efficacies of single-agent IO to Chemotherapy-IO, we conducted inverse probability weighted Cox proportional hazards models using estimated propensity scores. RESULTS: The cohort analyzed included 866 patients. Relative to IO, Chemotherapy-IO was associated with improved objective response rate (ORR) (44% vs 35%, p=0.007) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with tumor PD-L1≥1% (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.97, p=0.021) or PD-L1≥50% (ORR 55% vs 38%, p<0.001; PFS HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.87, p=0.002). Using propensity-adjusted analyses, only never-smokers in the PD-L1≥50% subgroup derived a differential survival benefit from Chemotherapy-IO vs IO (p=0.013). Among patients with very high tumor PD-L1 expression (≥90%), there were no differences in outcome between treatment groups. No genomic factors conferred differential survival benefit to Chemotherapy-IO versus IO. CONCLUSIONS: While the addition of chemotherapy to PD-(L)1 blockade increases the probability of initial response, never-smokers with tumor PD-L1≥50% comprise the only population identified that derived an apparent survival benefit with treatment intensification.

RESUMO

Strain KD21T, isolated from the fecal sample of a healthy female volunteer, is a strictly anaerobic, non-motile, Gram-staining-positive, saccharolytic small rod that does not produce spores. Strain KD21T was able to grow in the range of temperature 28°C-37°C (optimum, 37 °C), pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), and with 0-5.0 g/l NaCl (optimum, 0 g/l NaCl). Bacteria cells reduced nitrates to nitrites. Its major fatty acids were C18:1ω9c, C16:0, C18:0, and summed in feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c). 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis revealed that KD21T is a member of the genus Tractidigestivibacter and is distinct from any species with validly published names. The sequence showed 98.48% similarity with T. scatoligenes SK9K4T. The DNA G + C content of strain KD21T was 62.6 mol%. The DNA-DNA hybridization and OrthoANI values between strain KD21T and T. scatoligenes SK9K4T were 40.2% and 90.2%, respectively. Differences in phenotypic, phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and genomic characteristics indicated that strain KD21T represents a novel species within the genus Tractidigestivibacter. The name T. montrealensis sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is KD21T (= CSUR Q8103T =  DSM 115111T).

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Although gene-level copy number alterations have been studied as a potential biomarker of immunotherapy efficacy in NSCLC, the impact of aneuploidy burden and chromosomal arm-level events on immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy in NSCLC is uncertain. METHODS: Patients who received programmed cell death protein 1 or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor at two academic centers were included. Across all 22 chromosomes analyzed, an arm was considered altered if at least 70% of its territory was either gained or deleted. Among nonsquamous NSCLCs which underwent targeted next-generation sequencing, we retrospectively quantified aneuploidy using the adjusted fraction of chromosomal arm alterations (FAA), defined as the number of altered chromosome arms divided by the number of chromosome arms assessed, adjusted for tumor purity. RESULTS: Among 2293 nonsquamous NSCLCs identified, the median FAA increased with more advanced cancer stage and decreased with higher PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) levels (median FAA in TPS < 1%: 0.09, TPS 1%-49%: 0.08, TPS ≥ 50%: 0.05, p < 0.0001). There was a very weak correlation between FAA and tumor mutational burden when taken as continuous variables (R: 0.07, p = 0.0005). A total of 765 advanced nonsquamous NSCLCs with available FAA values were treated with ICIs. With decreasing FAA tertiles, there was a progressive improvement in objective response rate (ORR 15.1% in upper tertile versus 23.2% in middle tertile versus 28.4% in lowest tertile, p = 0.001), median progression-free survival (mPFS 2.5 versus 3.3 versus 4.1 mo, p < 0.0001), and median overall survival (mOS 12.5 versus 13.9 versus 16.4 mo, p = 0.006), respectively. In the arm-level enrichment analysis, chromosome 9p loss (OR = 0.22, Q = 0.0002) and chromosome 1q gain (OR = 0.43, Q = 0.002) were significantly enriched in ICI nonresponders after false discovery rate adjustment. Compared with NSCLCs without chromosome 9p loss (n = 452), those with 9p loss (n = 154) had a lower ORR (28.1% versus 7.8%, p < 0.0001), a shorter mPFS (4.1 versus 2.3 mo, p < 0.0001), and a shorter mOS (18.0 versus 9.6 mo, p < 0.0001) to immunotherapy. In addition, among NSCLCs with high PD-L1 expression (TPS ≥ 50%), chromosome 9p loss was associated with lower ORR (43% versus 6%, p < 0.0001), shorter mPFS (6.4 versus 2.6 mo, p = 0.0006), and shorter mOS (30.2 versus 14.3 mo, p = 0.0008) to immunotherapy compared with NSCLCs without 9p loss. In multivariable analysis, adjusting for key variables including FAA, chromosome 9p loss, but not 1q gain, retained a significant impact on ORR (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.25, p < 0.001), mPFS (HR = 1.49, p = 0.001), and mOS (HR = 1.47, p = 0.003). Multiplexed immunofluorescence and computational deconvolution of RNA sequencing data revealed that tumors with either high FAA levels or chromosome 9p loss had significantly fewer tumor-associated cytotoxic immune cells. CONCLUSIONS: Nonsquamous NSCLCs with high aneuploidy and chromosome 9p loss have a distinct tumor immune microenvironment and less favorable outcomes to ICIs.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Although targeted therapies have revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs), disease progression on single-agent targeted therapy against known oncogenic drivers is common, and therapeutic options after disease progression are limited. In patients with MDM2 amplification (MDM2amp) and a concurrent oncogenic driver alteration, we hypothesized that targeting of the tumor-suppressor pathway (by means of restoration of p53 using MDM2 inhibition) and simultaneous targeting of co-occurring MAPK oncogenic pathway might represent a more durably effective therapeutic strategy. METHODS: We evaluated genomic next-generation sequencing data using the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets platform to nominate potential targets for combination therapy in LUAD. We investigated the small molecule MDM2 inhibitor milademetan in cell lines and patient-derived xenografts of LUAD with a known driver alteration and MDM2amp. RESULTS: Of 10,587 patient samples from 7121 patients with LUAD profiled by next-generation sequencing, 6% (410 of 7121) harbored MDM2amp. MDM2amp was significantly enriched among tumors with driver alterations in METex14 (36%, p < 0.001), EGFR (8%, p < 0.001), RET (12%, p < 0.01), and ALK (10%, p < 0.01). The combination of milademetan and the MEK inhibitor trametinib was synergistic in growth inhibition of ECLC5-GLx (TRIM33-RET/MDM2amp), LUAD12c (METex14/KRASG12S/MDM2amp), SW1573 (KRASG12C, TP53 wild type), and A549 (KRASG12S) cells and in increasing expression of proapoptotic proteins PUMA and BIM. Treatment of ECLC5-GLx and LUAD12c with single-agent milademetan increased ERK phosphorylation, consistent with previous data on ERK activation with MDM2 inhibition. This ERK activation was effectively suppressed by concomitant administration of trametinib. In contrast, ERK phosphorylation induced by milademetan was not suppressed by concurrent RET inhibition using selpercatinib (in ECLC5-GLx) or MET inhibition using capmatinib (in LUAD12c). In vivo, combination milademetan and trametinib was more effective than either agent alone in ECLC5-GLx, LX-285 (EGFRex19del/MDM2amp), L13BS1 (METex14/MDM2amp), and A549 (KRASG12S, TP53 wild type). CONCLUSIONS: Combined MDM2/MEK inhibition was found to have efficacy across multiple patient-derived LUAD models harboring MDM2amp and concurrent oncogenic drivers. This combination, potentially applicable to LUADs with a wide variety of oncogenic driver mutations and kinase fusions activating the MAPK pathway, has evident clinical implications and will be investigated as part of a planned phase 1/2 clinical trial.
