RESUMEN

Venetoclax is effective in relapsed patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Mechanisms of resistance to venetoclax in MCL are poorly understood. We describe the clinical outcomes and genomic characteristics of 24 multiply relapsed patients (median of five prior lines of therapy) who received venetoclax-based therapies; 67% had progressed on BTK inhibitors (BTKi) and 54% had blastoid or pleomorphic histology. Median follow up after venetoclax treatment was 17 months. The overall response rate was 50% and complete response (CR) rate was 21%, 16 patients had progressed and 15 died. The median progression free, overall and post venetoclax survival were 8, 13.5 and 7.3 months respectively. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on samples collected from seven patients (including five pairs; before starting venetoclax and after progression on venetoclax). The SMARCA4 and BCL2 alterations were noted only after progression, while TP53, CDKN2A, KMT2D, CELSR3, CCND1, NOTCH2 and ATM were altered 2-4-fold more frequently after progression. In two patients with serial samples, we demonstrated clonal evolution of novel SMARCA4 and KMT2C/D mutations at progression. Mutation dynamics in venetoclax resistant MCL is demonstrated. Our data indicates that venetoclax resistance in MCL is predominantly associated with non-BCL2 gene mutations. Further studies are ongoing in MCL patients to evaluate the efficacy of venetoclax in combination with other agents and understand the biology of venetoclax resistance in MCL.

RESUMEN

Long term outcomes and mutations in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who discontinued ibrutinib have not been described. Using deep targeted next generation sequencing, we performed somatic mutation profiling from 15 MCL patients (including 5 patients with paired samples; before and after progression on ibrutinib). We identified 80 patients with MCL who discontinued ibrutinib therapy for various reasons. Median follow-up after ibrutinib discontinuation was 38 months. The median duration on ibrutinib was 7·6 months. Forty-one (51%) patients discontinued ibrutinib due to disease progression/transformation, 20 (25%) for intolerance, 7 (9%) due to patient choice, 5 (6%) for stem cell transplant, 4 (5%) due to second cancers and 3 (4%) other causes. The median survival after ibrutinib was 10 and 6 months for disease progression and transformation, respectively, and 25 months for patients with ibrutinib intolerance. Overall, BTK mutations were observed in 17% patients after progression on ibrutinib. Notably, TP53 alterations were observed after progression in 75% patients. Among the 4 patients with blastoid transformation, 3 (75%) had NSD2 mutations (co-existing with TP53). Ibrutinib-refractory MCL patients had a short survival. Demonstration of TP53 and NSD2 mutations in patients who developed blastoid transformation and ATM and TP53 mutations in patients who progressed, opens the door for future investigations in ibrutinib-refractory MCL.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has a poor prognosis. The best outcome is achieved in patients who have a partial or complete response to salvage treatment and proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplant. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one patients were given a combination regimen of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab at MD Anderson Cancer Center as part of a single-arm, prospective, open-label phase II clinical trial. The median age was 66 years, with a median number of prior treatments of three. Sixty-seven percent had failed intensive chemoimmunotherapy and 43% were intermediate/high risk according to the MCL international prognostic index score, with a median Ki-67 proliferation index of 45% in those who were tested. RESULTS: The rates of overall and complete response achieved were 74% and 42%, respectively, with median progression-free and overall survivals of 9 months and 36.4 months, respectively. The regimen's toxicity profile was acceptable; only 25% of the cycles resulted in grade 3 or 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, and only 3% of cycles produced grade 3-4 fatigue. There were no episodes of grade 3-4 neuropathy. CONCLUSION: The combination of bortezomib with cyclophosphamide and rituximab is an effective and well-tolerated regimen in patients with relapsed/refractory MCL. Because of its low toxicity, future combinations of this regimen with other promising drugs that have different mechanisms of action offer a realistic possibility that may improve outcomes for patients who have MCL. The Oncologist 2017;22:549-553 IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The combination of bortezomib with cyclophosphamide and rituximab represents an additional effective novel salvage regimen for mantle cell lymphoma. This combination adds to the growing list of treatment options available for patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Ibrutinib is approved in the EU, USA, and other countries for patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received one previous therapy. In a previous phase 2 study with single-agent ibrutinib, the proportion of patients who achieved an objective response was 68%; 38 (34%) of 111 patients had transient lymphocytosis. We hypothesised that adding rituximab could target mantle cell lymphoma cells associated with redistribution lymphocytosis, leading to more potent antitumour activity. METHODS: Patients with a confirmed mantle cell lymphoma diagnosis (based on CD20-positive and cyclin D1-positive cells in tissue biopsy specimens), no upper limit on the number of previous treatments received, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 2 or less were enrolled in this single-centre, open-label, phase 2 study. Patients received continuous oral ibrutinib (560 mg) daily until progressive disease or unacceptable toxic effects. Rituximab 375 mg/m(2) was given intravenously once per week for 4 weeks during cycle 1, then on day 1 of cycles 3-8, and thereafter once every other cycle up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved an objective response in the intention-to-treat population and safety assessed in the as-treated population. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01880567, and is still ongoing, but no longer accruing patients. FINDINGS: Between July 15, 2013, and June 30, 2014, 50 patients were enrolled. Median age was 67 years (range 45-86), and the median number of previous regimens was three (range 1-9). At a median follow-up of 16·5 months (IQR 12·09-19·28), 44 (88%, 95% CI 75·7-95·5) patients achieved an objective response, with 22 (44%, 30·0-58·7) patients achieving a complete response, and 22 (44%, 30·0-58·7) a partial response. The only grade 3 adverse event in >=10% of patients was atrial fibrillation, which was noted in six (12%) patients. Grade 4 diarrhoea and neutropenia occurred in one patient each. Adverse events led to discontinuation of therapy in five (10%) patients (atrial fibrillation in three [6%] patients, liver infection in one [2%], and bleeding in one [2%]). Two patients died while on-study from cardiac arrest and septic shock; the latter was deemed possibly related to treatment. INTERPRETATION: Ibrutinib combined with rituximab is active and well tolerated in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Our results provide preliminary evidence for the activity of this combination in clinical practice. A phase 3 trial is warranted for more definitive data.

RESUMEN

A series of 4-(piperazin-1-yl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was synthesized and evaluated as Akt inhibitors by optimization of a weak screening lead (1). Typically, compounds 5q and 5t significantly improved the Akt1 inhibitory potency with IC50 values of 18.0 and 21.3 nM, respectively, with desirable antiproliferative effect against the cell lines LNCaP and PC-3. The inhibitors 5q and 5t might serve as lead compounds for further exploration of Akt inhibitors as anticancer agents.

RESUMEN

Nurses are a pivotal component of the translational research movement and apply scientific discoveries to the healthcare and clinical practice fields. Biobanking is also an important factor in furthering translational research by providing biospecimens and related clinical data to the research community. The effectiveness of any biobanking effort necessitates the enrollment of large numbers of diverse participants, which signifies a need for the nursing profession to secure the knowledge necessary to impact biobanking practices and to promote participant advocacy. In addition, biobanks provide the volume, variety, veracity, and velocity of data that can address the challenges of nursing research. Nurse scientists, research nurse coordinators and clinical research and practice nurses must be informed about the various benefits and risks associated with biobanking in addition to ethical issues surrounding informed consent, participant privacy, and the release of research results. Ultimately, nurses need to possess competencies to facilitate biobanking practices both at the research bench and at the point of care.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To describe novel and emerging strategies practiced globally in research to improve longitudinal data collection. ORGANIZING CONSTRUCT: In research studies, numerous strategies such as telephone interviews, postal mailing, online questionnaires, and electronic mail are traditionally utilized in longitudinal data collection. However, due to technological advances, novel and emerging strategies have been applied to longitudinal data collection, such as two-way short message service, smartphone applications (or "apps"), retrieval capabilities applied to the electronic medical record, and an adapted cloud interface. In this review, traditional longitudinal data collection strategies are briefly described, emerging and novel strategies are detailed and explored, and information regarding the impact of novel methods on participant response rates, the timeliness of participant responses, and cost is provided. We further discuss how these novel and emerging strategies affect longitudinal data collection and advance research, specifically nursing research. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence suggests that the novel and emerging longitudinal data collection strategies discussed in this review are valuable approaches to consider. These strategies facilitate collecting longitudinal research data to better understand a variety of health-related conditions. Future studies, including nursing research, should consider using novel and emerging strategies to advance longitudinal data collection. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A better understanding of novel and emerging longitudinal data collection strategies will ultimately improve longitudinal data collection as well as foster research efforts. Nurse researchers, along with all researchers, must be aware of and consider implementing novel and emerging strategies to ensure future healthcare research success.

RESUMEN

With the increased use of gene expression profiling for personalized oncology, optimized RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) protocols and algorithms are necessary to provide comparable expression measurements between exome capture (EC)-based and poly-A RNA-seq. Here, we developed and optimized an EC-based protocol for processing formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples and a machine-learning algorithm, Procrustes, to overcome batch effects across RNA-seq data obtained using different sample preparation protocols like EC-based or poly-A RNA-seq protocols. Applying Procrustes to samples processed using EC and poly-A RNA-seq protocols showed the expression of 61% of genes (N = 20,062) to correlate across both protocols (concordance correlation coefficient > 0.8, versus 26% before transformation by Procrustes), including 84% of cancer-specific and cancer microenvironment-related genes (versus 36% before applying Procrustes; N = 1,438). Benchmarking analyses also showed Procrustes to outperform other batch correction methods. Finally, we showed that Procrustes can project RNA-seq data for a single sample to a larger cohort of RNA-seq data. Future application of Procrustes will enable direct gene expression analysis for single tumor samples to support gene expression-based treatment decisions.

RESUMEN

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a generally incurable malignancy that evolves from developmentally blocked germinal center (GC) B cells. To promote survival and immune escape, tumor B cells undergo significant genetic changes and extensively remodel the lymphoid microenvironment. Dynamic interactions between tumor B cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) are hypothesized to contribute to the broad spectrum of clinical behaviors observed among FL patients. Despite the urgent need, existing clinical tools do not reliably predict disease behavior. Using a multi-modal strategy, we examined cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic factors governing progression and therapeutic outcomes in FL patients enrolled onto a prospective clinical trial. By leveraging the strengths of each platform, we identify several tumor-specific features and microenvironmental patterns enriched in individuals who experience early relapse, the most high-risk FL patients. These features include stromal desmoplasia and changes to the follicular growth pattern present 20 months before first progression and first relapse.

RESUMEN

The lack of comprehensive diagnostics and consensus analytical models for evaluating the status of a patient's immune system has hindered a wider adoption of immunoprofiling for treatment monitoring and response prediction in cancer patients. To address this unmet need, we developed an immunoprofiling platform that uses multiparameter flow cytometry to characterize immune cell heterogeneity in the peripheral blood of healthy donors and patients with advanced cancers. Using unsupervised clustering, we identified five immunotypes with unique distributions of different cell types and gene expression profiles. An independent analysis of 17,800 open-source transcriptomes with the same approach corroborated these findings. Continuous immunotype-based signature scores were developed to correlate systemic immunity with patient responses to different cancer treatments, including immunotherapy, prognostically and predictively. Our approach and findings illustrate the potential utility of a simple blood test as a flexible tool for stratifying cancer patients into therapy response groups based on systemic immunoprofiling.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: PD-1 checkpoint blockade therapy (CBT) has greatly benefited patients with select solid tumors and lymphomas but has limited efficacy against diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Because numerous inhibitory checkpoint receptors have been implicated in driving tumor-specific T cell dysfunction, we hypothesized that combinatorial CBT would enhance the activity of anti-PD-1-based therapy in DLBCL. T cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) is a coinhibitory receptor expressed on dysfunctional tumor-infiltrating T cells, and TIGIT blockade has demonstrated encouraging activity in combination with PD-1 blockade in murine tumor models and in clinical studies. However, the degree to which TIGIT mediates T cell dysfunction in DLBCL has not been fully explored. RESULTS: Here, we demonstrate that TIGIT is broadly expressed on lymphoma-infiltrating T cells (LITs) across a variety of human lymphomas and is frequently coexpressed with PD-1. TIGIT expression is particularly common on LITs in DLBCL, where TIGIT+ LITs often form distinct cellular communities and exhibit significant contact with malignant B cells. TIGIT+/PD-1+ LITs from human DLBCL and murine lymphomas exhibit hypofunctional cytokine production on ex vivo restimulation. In mice with established, syngeneic A20 B-cell lymphomas, TIGIT or PD-1 mono-blockade leads to modest delays in tumor outgrowth, whereas PD-1 and TIGIT co-blockade results in complete rejection of A20 lymphomas in most mice and significantly prolongs survival compared with mice treated with monoblockade therapy. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide rationale for clinical investigation of TIGIT and PD-1 blockade in lymphomas, including DLBCL.

RESUMEN

Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) represents a major challenge for anticancer therapies. An integrated, multidimensional, multiregional approach dissecting ITH of the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tumor microenvironment (TME) is employed at the single-cell level with mass cytometry (CyTOF), multiplex immunofluorescence (MxIF), and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and at the bulk level with whole-exome sequencing (WES), RNA-seq, and methylation profiling. Multiregional analyses reveal unexpected conservation of immune composition within each individual patient, with profound differences among patients, presenting patient-specific tumor immune microenvironment signatures despite underlying genetic heterogeneity from clonal evolution. Spatial proteogenomic TME analysis using MxIF identifies 14 distinct cellular neighborhoods and, conversely, demonstrated architectural heterogeneity among different tumor regions. Tumor-expressed cytokines are identified as key determinants of the TME and correlate with clinical outcome. Overall, this work signifies that spatial ITH occurs in ccRCC, which may drive clinical heterogeneity and warrants further interrogation to improve patient outcomes.

RESUMEN

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a B-cell malignancy with a complex tumor microenvironment that is rich in nonmalignant immune cells. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the diverse tumor and immune cell populations of FL and identified major phenotypic subsets of FL T cells, including a cytotoxic CD4 T-cell population. We characterized four major FL subtypes with differential representation or relative depletion of distinct T-cell subsets. By integrating exome sequencing, we observed that somatic mutations are associated with, but not definitive for, reduced MHC expression on FL cells. In turn, expression of MHCII genes by FL cells was associated with significant differences in the proportions and targetable immunophenotypic characteristics of T cells. This provides a classification framework of the FL microenvironment in association with FL genotypes and MHC expression, and informs different potential immunotherapeutic strategies based upon tumor cell MHCII expression. SIGNIFICANCE: We have characterized the FL-infiltrating T cells, identified cytotoxic CD4 T cells as an important component that is associated with tumor cell-intrinsic characteristics, and identified sets of targetable immune checkpoints on T cells that differed from FLs with normal versus low MHC expression. See related commentary by Melnick, p. 374. This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 369.

RESUMEN

Cellular deconvolution algorithms virtually reconstruct tissue composition by analyzing the gene expression of complex tissues. We present the decision tree machine learning algorithm, Kassandra, trained on a broad collection of >9,400 tissue and blood sorted cell RNA profiles incorporated into millions of artificial transcriptomes to accurately reconstruct the tumor microenvironment (TME). Bioinformatics correction for technical and biological variability, aberrant cancer cell expression inclusion, and accurate quantification and normalization of transcript expression increased Kassandra stability and robustness. Performance was validated on 4,000 H&E slides and 1,000 tissues by comparison with cytometric, immunohistochemical, or single-cell RNA-seq measurements. Kassandra accurately deconvolved TME elements, showing the role of these populations in tumor pathogenesis and other biological processes. Digital TME reconstruction revealed that the presence of PD-1-positive CD8+ T cells strongly correlated with immunotherapy response and increased the predictive potential of established biomarkers, indicating that Kassandra could potentially be utilized in future clinical applications.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Although there are immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) available for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the utility of PD-L1 detection by immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a predictive biomarker in clear cell RCC (ccRCC) remains controversial. Nevertheless, alternative methods for PD-L1 detection, such as RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), may be clinically useful in ccRCC; therefore, we sought to determine the ability of RNA-Seq to accurately and sensitively detect PD-L1 expression across different ccRCC clinical samples in comparison with IHC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with ccRCC (n=127) who received treatment from Washington University in St. Louis between 2018 and 2020 were identified. Tumors from these patients were analyzed using RNA-Seq and IHC. RESULTS: PD-L1 detection by RNA-Seq strongly correlated with IHC (P < .001), which was further validated using two independent datasets. Furthermore, RNA-Seq analysis identified an immune-enriched (higher PD-L1 positivity) and an immune-desert (lower PD-L1 positivity) microenvironment of ccRCC, which also correlated with IHC (P < .00001). CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate the ability of RNA-Seq to detect PD-L1 in various ccRCC clinical samples compared to IHC. Ultimately, these findings suggest that PD-L1 detection by RNA-Seq can be further developed to determine the clinical utility of this methodology in ccRCC.

RESUMEN

The clinical use of molecular targeted therapy is rapidly evolving but has primarily focused on genomic alterations. Transcriptomic analysis offers an opportunity to dissect the complexity of tumors, including the tumor microenvironment (TME), a crucial mediator of cancer progression and therapeutic outcome. TME classification by transcriptomic analysis of >10,000 cancer patients identifies four distinct TME subtypes conserved across 20 different cancers. The TME subtypes correlate with patient response to immunotherapy in multiple cancers, with patients possessing immune-favorable TME subtypes benefiting the most from immunotherapy. Thus, the TME subtypes act as a generalized immunotherapy biomarker across many cancer types due to the inclusion of malignant and microenvironment components. A visual tool integrating transcriptomic and genomic data provides a global tumor portrait, describing the tumor framework, mutational load, immune composition, anti-tumor immunity, and immunosuppressive escape mechanisms. Integrative analyses plus visualization may aid in biomarker discovery and the personalization of therapeutic regimens.

RESUMEN

Fas is highly expressed on germinal center (GC) B cells, and mutations of FAS have been reported in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Although GC-derived DLBCL has better overall outcomes than other DLBCL types, some cases are refractory, and the molecular basis for this is often unknown. We show that Fas is a strong cell-intrinsic regulator of GC B cells that promotes cell death in the light zone, likely via T follicular helper (Tfh) cell-derived Fas ligand. In the absence of Fas, GCs were more clonally diverse due to an accumulation of cells that did not demonstrably bind antigen. FAS alterations occurred most commonly in GC-derived DLBCL, were associated with inferior outcomes and an enrichment of Tfh cells, and co-occurred with deficiency in HVEM and PD-L1 that regulate the Tfh-B cell interaction. This work shows that Fas is critically required for GC homeostasis and suggests that loss of Tfh-mediated counterselection in the GC contributes to lethality in GC-derived lymphoma.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has become an indispensable radiographic tool in diagnosing prostate cancer. However, mpMRI fails to visualize approximately 15% of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). The molecular, cellular, and spatial underpinnings of such radiographic heterogeneity in csPCa are unclear. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We examined tumor tissues from clinically matched patients with mpMRI-invisible and mpMRI-visible csPCa who underwent radical prostatectomy. Multiplex immunofluorescence single-cell spatial imaging and gene expression profiling were performed. Artificial intelligence-based analytic algorithms were developed to examine the tumor ecosystem and integrate with corresponding transcriptomics. RESULTS: More complex and compact epithelial tumor architectures were found in mpMRI-visible than in mpMRI-invisible prostate cancer tumors. In contrast, similar stromal patterns were detected between mpMRI-invisible prostate cancer and normal prostate tissues. Furthermore, quantification of immune cell composition and tumor-immune interactions demonstrated a lack of immune cell infiltration in the malignant but not in the adjacent nonmalignant tissue compartments, irrespective of mpMRI visibility. No significant difference in immune profiles was detected between mpMRI-visible and mpMRI-invisible prostate cancer within our patient cohort, whereas expression profiling identified a 24-gene stromal signature enriched in mpMRI-invisible prostate cancer. Prostate cancer with strong stromal signature exhibited a favorable survival outcome within The Cancer Genome Atlas prostate cancer cohort. Notably, five recurrences in the 8 mpMRI-visible patients with csPCa and no recurrence in the 8 clinically matched patients with mpMRI-invisible csPCa occurred during the 5-year follow-up post-prostatectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Our study identified distinct molecular, cellular, and structural characteristics associated with mpMRI-visible csPCa, whereas mpMRI-invisible tumors were similar to normal prostate tissue, likely contributing to mpMRI invisibility.

RESUMEN

The mechanisms driving therapeutic resistance and poor outcomes of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are incompletely understood. We characterize the cellular and molecular heterogeneity within and across patients and delineate the dynamic evolution of tumor and immune cell compartments at single cell resolution in longitudinal specimens from ibrutinib-sensitive patients and non-responders. Temporal activation of multiple cancer hallmark pathways and acquisition of 17q are observed in a refractory MCL. Multi-platform validation is performed at genomic and cellular levels in PDX models and larger patient cohorts. We demonstrate that due to 17q gain, BIRC5/survivin expression is upregulated in resistant MCL tumor cells and targeting BIRC5 results in marked tumor inhibition in preclinical models. In addition, we discover notable differences in the tumor microenvironment including progressive dampening of CD8+ T cells and aberrant cell-to-cell communication networks in refractory MCLs. This study reveals diverse and dynamic tumor and immune programs underlying therapy resistance in MCL.
