ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
LUME-Colon 1 (NCT02149108) was a global, placebo-controlled phase III study of nintedanib in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Pre-specified biomarker analyses investigated the association of CRC consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) and tumor genomic and circulating biomarkers with clinical outcomes. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Archival tumor tissue, cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and plasma samples were collected for genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses to investigate potential associations between CRC CMS and other biomarkers with nintedanib response and clinical outcomes.RESULTS:
Of the 765 treated patients, 735, 245, and 192 patient samples were analyzed in the circulating protein, tumor tissue, and cfDNA datasets, respectively. Patients were classified as CMS1 (1.7%), CMS2 (27.7%), CMS3 (0.9%), CMS4 (51.5%), or unclassified (18.2%). Unclassified/mixed CMS was associated with longer overall survival (OS) with nintedanib vs. CMS2 or CMS4 (interaction P-value = .0086); no association was observed for CMS4. Gene expression-based pathway analysis revealed an association between vascular endothelial growth factor-related signaling and OS for nintedanib (P = .0498). The most frequently detected somatic mutations were APC (72.0% [tumor tissue] vs. 56.8% [cfDNA]), TP53 (47.1% vs. 34.9%), KRAS (40.8% vs. 28.6%), and PIK3CA (16.6% vs. 11.5%); concordance rates were > 80%. Median OS differences were observed for APC and TP53 mutations vs. wild-type in cfDNA, indicating a potential prognostic value. Circulating ANG-2, CA-9, CEACAM1, collagen-IV, IGFBP-1, ICAM-1, IL-8, and uPAR were potentially prognostic for both OS and progression-free survival.CONCLUSION:
We demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale biomarker analyses and CMS classification within a global clinical trial, and identified signals suggesting a potential for greater nintedanib treatment response in the unclassified/mixed CMS subgroup, despite these tumors showing heterogeneous patterns of CMS mixtures. Our results revealed a high degree of concordance in somatic mutations between tumor tissue and cfDNA. Associations with prognosis for cfDNA somatic mutations, as well as several protein-based biomarkers, may warrant further investigation in future trials.Palabras clave
