RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Male breast cancer (MaBC) has limited data on genomic alterations. We aimed to comprehensively describe and compare MaBC's genomics with female breast cancer's (FBC) across subtypes. METHODS: Using genomic data from Foundation Medicine, we categorized 253 MaBC into estrogen receptor (ER)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (n = 210), ER-positive/HER2-positive (n = 22) and triple-negative (n = 20). One ER-negative/HER2-positive case was excluded due to n-of-1. The genomics of the final MaBC cohort (n = 252) were compared to a FBC cohort (n = 2708) stratified by molecular subtype, with adjusted p-values. In the overall MaBC and FBC cohorts, we compared mutational prevalence in cancer susceptibility genes (CSG) (ATM/BRCA1/BRCA2/CHEK2/PALB2). RESULTS: Comparing ER-positive/HER2-negative cases, MaBc had increased alterations in GATA3 (26.2% vs. 15.9%, p = 0.005), BRCA2 (13.8% vs. 5.3%, p < 0.001), MDM2 (13.3% vs. 6.14%, p = 0.004) and CDK4 (7.1% vs. 1.8%, p < 0.001); and decreased frequency of TP53 (11.0% vs. 42.6%, p < 0.001) and ESR1 mutations (5.7% vs. 14.6%, p < 0.001). Comparing ER-positive/HER2-positive cases, MaBC had increased short variants in ERBB2 (22.7% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.002), GATA3 (36.3% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.004), and MDM2 (36.3% vs. 4.9%, p = 0.002); decreased frequency of TP53 alterations was seen in MaBC versus FBC (9.1% vs. 61.7%, p < 0.001). Within triple-negative cases, MaBC had decreased alterations in TP53 compared to FBC (25.0% vs. 84.4%, p < 0.001). MaBC had higher frequency of CSG variants than FBC (22.6% vs. 14.6%, p < 0.05), with increased BRCA mutations in MaBC (14.6% vs. 9.1%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Although MaBC and FBC share some common alterations, our study revealed several important differences relevant to tumor biology and implications for targeted therapies.

BACKGROUND: Malignant phyllodes tumors (MPT) are rare fibroepithelial breast cancers with no known effective systemic therapy; metastatic progression portends a dismal prognosis. We sought to describe the genomic landscape of MPTs through genomic profiling and immunotherapeutic biomarker analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cases of sequenced MPT were identified from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-certified, College of American Pathologists-accredited laboratory (Foundation Medicine). All cases underwent genomic profiling using adaptor ligation-based, next-generation sequencing assay of 324 genes. Tumor agnostic immunotherapy biomarkers, microsatellite instability, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression were evaluated. Fisher's Exact Tests and analysis of variance were used to test for differences between groups and for continuous variables as appropriate. RESULTS: Of 135 MPT cases identified; 94 (69.6%) were localized/locally recurrent and 41 (30.4%) were metastatic. Median age was 54 years (range 14-86). The median TMB was 2.5 mut/Mb and 3 were TMB-high (≥10 mut/Mb). 21.4% were PD-L1+ via Dako 22C3 assay (CPS ≥1). Most commonly altered genes included TERT-promoter (69.7%), CDKN2A (45.9%), TP53 (37.8%), NF1 (35.6%), CDKN2B (33.3%), MED12 (28.9%), MTAP (27.7%), KMT2D (22.2%), PIK3CA (20.0%), PTEN (18.5%), and RB1 (18.5%). Several tumors harboring genomic alterations with US Food and Drug Administration-approved indications in other tumor types were found including NF1, PIK3CA, EGFR Exon 19/20 insertions, and BRAF V600E mutations. CONCLUSIONS: In the largest genomic evaluation of MPT to date, multiple clinically actionable mutations were found. Routine sequencing of metastatic MPT may provide additional information to guide treatment decisions and clinical trial enrollment.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: One of the most common sporadic homozygous deletions in cancers is 9p21 loss, which includes the genes methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), CDKN2A, and CDKN2B, and has been correlated with worsened outcomes and immunotherapy resistance. MTAP-loss is a developing drug target through synthetic lethality with MAT2A and PMRT5 inhibitors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence and genomic landscape of MTAP-loss in advanced gastrointestinal (GI) tumors and investigate its role as a prognostic biomarker. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed next-generation sequencing and comparative genomic and clinical analysis on an extensive cohort of 64 860 tumors comprising 5 GI cancers. We compared the clinical outcomes of patients with GI cancer harboring MTAP-loss and MTAP-intact tumors in a retrospective study. RESULTS: The prevalence of MTAP-loss in GI cancers is 8.30%. MTAP-loss was most prevalent in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at 21.7% and least in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) at 1.1%. MTAP-loss tumors were more prevalent in East Asian patients with PDAC (4.4% vs 3.2%, Pâ =â .005) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC; 6.4% vs 4.3%, Pâ =â .036). Significant differences in the prevalence of potentially targetable genomic alterations (ATM, BRAF, BRCA2, ERBB2, IDH1, PIK3CA, and PTEN) were observed in MTAP-loss tumors and varied according to tumor type. MTAP-loss PDAC, IHCC, and CRC had a lower prevalence of microsatellite instability or elevated tumor mutational burden. Positive PD-L1 tumor cell expression was less frequent among MTAP-loss versus MTAP-intact IHCC tumors (23.2% vs 31.2%, Pâ =â .017). CONCLUSION: In GI cancers, MTAP-loss occurs as part of 9p21 loss and has an overall prevalence of 8%. MTAP-loss occurs in 22% of PDAC, 15% of IHCC, 8.7% of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, 2.4% of hepatocellular carcinoma, and 1.1% of CRC and is not mutually exclusive with other targetable mutations.

PURPOSE: Approximately 5% of breast cancers each year are diagnosed in young women < 40 years who tend to have worse clinical outcomes. We compared genomic alterations using comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of tumor tissue among very young women (< 30 years) and young women (30-39 years) compared to women ≥ 40 years at diagnosis. METHODS: 2049 advanced breast cancer cases were submitted to Foundation Medicine within a 22-month window for CGP. Hybrid-capture based CGP was performed to evaluate all classes of genomic alterations. Tumor mutational burden was determined on at least 0.8 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability was determined on at least 95 loci. Immunocyte PD-L1 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Of the total cases, 28 (1.37%) were < 30 years, 159 (7.76%) were 30-39 years, and 1862 (90.87%) were ≥ 40 at time of diagnosis. Breast tumors were less likely to be estrogen receptor positive in younger women (54% of < 30 years, p > 0.05; 60% of 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 69.4% of ≥ 40 years) and more likely to be triple negative (43%, p = 0.05; 33%, p = 0.05; 26.1% respectively). Young women had higher rates of BRCA1 mutations (17.9% <30 years, p < 0.001; 10.1% 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 2.6% ≥40 years), but lower rates of CDH1 (7.1% <30 years, p > 0.05; 5.0% 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 15.4% ≥40 years) and PIK3CA mutations (17.9% <30 years, p = 0.02; 17.6% 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 40.0% ≥40 years). CONCLUSION: Our findings contribute to the growing literature demonstrating unique genetic profiles among young women diagnosed with breast cancer, compared to older women.

The micropapillary subtype of urothelial carcinoma (MPUC) of the bladder is a very aggressive histological variant of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). A high frequency of MPUC contains activating mutations in the extracellular domain (ECD) of ERBB2. We sought to further characterize ERBB2 ECD-mutated MPUC to identify additional genomic alterations that have been associated with tumor progression and therapeutic response. In total, 5,485 cases of archived formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded UBC underwent comprehensive genomic profiling to identify ERBB2 ECD-mutated MPUC and evaluate the frequencies of genomic co-alterations. We identified 219 cases of UBC with ERBB2 ECD mutations (74% S310F and 26% S310Y), of which 63 (28.8%) were MPUC. Genomic analysis revealed that TERT, TP53, and ARID1A were the most common co-altered genes in ERBB2-mutant MPUC (82.5%, 58.7%, and 39.7%, respectively) and did not differ from ERBB2-mutant non-MPUC (86.5%, 51.9%, and 35.3%). The main differences between ERBB2 ECD-mutated MPUC compared with non-MPUC were KMT2D, RB1, and MTAP alterations. KMT2D and RB1 are tumor-suppressor genes. KMT2D frequency was significantly decreased in ERBB2 ECD-mutated MPUC (6.3%) in contrast to non-MPUC (27.6%; P < .001). RB1 mutations were more frequent in ERBB2 ECD-mutated MPUC (33.3%) than in non-MPUC (17.3%; P = .012). Finally, MTAP loss, an emerging biomarker for new synthetic lethality-based anticancer drugs, was less frequent in ERBB2 ECD-mutated MPUC (11.1%) than in non-MPUC (26.9%; P = .018). Characterizing the genomic landscape of MPUC may not only improve our fundamental knowledge about this aggressive morphological variant of UBC but also has the potential to identify possible prognostic and predictive biomarkers that may drive tumor progression and dictate treatment response to therapeutic approaches.

BACKGROUND: In 2020, pembrolizumab was approved as a therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with the companion diagnostic DAKO 22C3 programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry assay. The study aimed to determine the landscape of PD-L1 expression as detected by the DAKO 22C3 PD-L1 assay in breast cancer subtypes and compare the clinicopathologic and genomic characteristics of PD-L1 positive and negative TNBC. METHODS: PD-L1 expression using the DAKO 22C3 antibody was scored using a combined positive score (CPS) and positive status was defined as CPS ≥10. Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed using the FoundationOne CDx assay. RESULTS: Of the 396 BC patients stained with DAKO 22C3, the majority were HR+/HER2- and TNBC (42% and 36%, respectively). Median PD-L1 expression and frequency of CPS ≥10 was highest in TNBC cases (median: 7.5, 50% CPS ≥10) and lowest in the HR+/HER2- group (median: 1.0, 15.5% CPS ≥10) (P < .0001). A comparison of PD-L1 positive and PD-L1 negative TNBC demonstrated no significant differences in clinicopathologic or genomic characteristics. TNBC tissue samples from the breast did have an observed enrichment for PD-L1 positivity compared to TNBC tissue samples from a metastatic site (57% vs. 44%), but this was not statistically significant (P = .1766). In the HR+/HER2- group, genomic alterations in TP53, CREBBP, and CCNE1 were more prevalent and genomic loss of heterozygosity was higher in the PD-L1(+) group compared to the PD-L1(-) group. CONCLUSIONS: The subtypes of breast cancer have distinct patterns of PD-L1 expression, supporting that further research of immunotherapies may include specific evaluation of optimum cutoffs for non-TNBC patients. In TNBC, PD-L1 positivity is not associated with other clinicopathologic or genomic features and should be integrated into future studies of immunotherapy efficacy.

BACKGROUND: Despite the low rate of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) in patients of South Asian (SAS) and East Asian (EAS) descent, they make up a significant portion of the cases worldwide. Nevertheless, these patients are largely under-represented in clinical trials. We queried whether UCB arising in patients with SAS and EAS ancestry would have unique genomic features compared to the global cohort. METHODS: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue was obtained for 8728 patients with advanced UCB. DNA was extracted and comprehensive genomic profiling was performed. Ancestry was classified using a proprietary calculation algorithm. Genomic alterations (GAs) were determined using a 324-gene hybrid-capture-based method which also calculates tumor mutational burden (TMB) and determines microsatellite status (MSI). RESULTS: Of the cohort, 7447 (85.3%) were EUR, 541 (6.2%) were AFR, 461 (5.3%) were of AMR, 74 (0.85%) were SAS, and 205 (2.3%) were EAS. When compared with EUR, TERT GAs were less frequent in SAS (58.1% vs. 73.6%; P = .06). When compared with non-SAS, SAS had less frequent GAs in FGFR3 (9.5% vs. 18.5%, P = .25). TERT promoter mutations were significantly less frequent in EAS compared to non-EAS (54.1% vs. 72.9%; P < .001). When compared with the non-EAS, PIK3CA alterations were significantly less common in EAS (12.7% vs. 22.1%, P = .005). The mean TMB was significantly lower in EAS vs. non-EAS (8.53 vs. 10.02; P = .05). CONCLUSIONS: The results from this comprehensive genomic analysis of UCB provide important insight into the possible differences in the genomic landscape in a population level. These hypothesis-generating findings require external validation and should support the inclusion of more diverse patient populations in clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE: Molecular profiling is developing to inform treatment in endometrial cancer. Using real world evidence, we sought to evaluate frontline immune checkpoint inhibitor vs chemotherapy effectiveness in advanced endometrial cancer, stratified by Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) ≥10 mut/MB and microsatellite instability (MSI). METHODS: Patients with advanced endometrial cancer in the US-based de-identified Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine Clinico-Genomic Database were included. Data originated from patients treated between January 2011- March 2022 at 280 US clinics. Next-generation sequencing assays were performed via FoundationOne or FoundationOneCDx. Longitudinal clinical data were derived from electronic health records. Immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment included pembrolizumab, dostarlimab, and nivolumab monotherapies. Time to next treatment, time to treatment discontinuation, and overall survival were assessed with the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard models with adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for known prognostic factors. We used the Likelihood ratio test to compare biomarker performance. RESULTS: A total of 343 patients received chemotherapy and 28 received immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy as frontline treatment. Patients who received monotherapy were more likely to be stage III at diagnosis (immune checkpoint inhibitor: 54.6% vs chemotherapy: 15.0%; p<0.001) and more likely to test MSI-high via next-generation sequencing (immune checkpoint inhibitor: 53.6% vs chemotherapy: 19.2%; p<0.001). In MSI-high cancers, single-agent immune checkpoint inhibitor had a more favorable time to next treatment (aHR: 0.18, p=0.001) and overall survival (aHR 0.29, p=0.045). Additional analyses on 70 unique tumor specimens revealed mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) via immunohistochemistry and MSI-high via next-generation sequencing concordance (91%), with nominal improvement of MSI over dMMR to predict time to treatment discontinuation (p=0.030), time to next treatment (p=0.032), and overall survival (p=0.22). MSI status was concordant with tumor mutational burden ≥10 in 94.3% of cases. CONCLUSION: Immune checkpoint inhibitors may have improved efficacy over chemotherapy in frontline treatment for advanced endometrial cancer defined by MSI-high using next-generation sequencing as a nominally better predictor of outcomes than dMMR with immunohistochemistry. This provides the biologic rationale of active phase III trials.

BACKGROUND: Advanced pelvic squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) is a broad category of cancers affecting different pelvic organs and usually featuring unfavorable clinical outcomes. Thus, we aimed to assess genomic differences among pSCC cases and learn whether pSCC could potentially benefit from targeted therapies and/or immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1917 advanced pSCCs, including penile (penSCC), male urethral (murthSCC), male anal (manSCC), female urethral (furthSCC), vulvar (vulSCC), cervical (crvSCC), female anal (fanSCC), and vaginal (vagSCC), underwent comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). We used hybrid capture-based CGP to evaluate recurrent genomic alterations (GAs). Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on up to 1.1 Mb of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined on up to 95 loci. Programmed cell-death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC; Dako 22C3). RESULTS: PIK3CA was the most frequently identified potentially "actionable" GA (22%-43%), followed by mTOR pathway [PTEN (0%-18%), FBXW7 (7%-29%)], and cell-cycle GAs. DNA-damage response (DDR) GAs and receptor-tyrosine kinase (RTK) targeted options were uncommon. NOTCH1 GAs were present in >15% of penSCC and vulvSCC. TMBâ ≥10 mut/Mb wasâ >15% in manSCC, fanSCC, crvSCC, and vagSCC. PD-L1 high expression wasâ >18% in all pSCC except urthSCC, manSCC, and vagSCC. HPV-16/18 detection was highest in manSCC, fanSCC, and crvSCC. CONCLUSION: Despite similar histology, pSCCs can differ in GAs and HPV status. Overall, PIK3CA is the most frequent potentially "targetable" GA followed by mTOR and cell cycle pathway. RTK and DDR GAs are rare in pSCC. Immunotherapy could be considered for pSCC management based on TMB and PD-L1 expression.

OBJECTIVES: Endometrial serous carcinoma (EMSC) is an aggressive variant of uterine cancer with limited therapeutic options. We sought to define distinct clinicopathologic and genomic EMSC subgroups. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 2159 EMSC and 2346 endometrioid-type endometrial carcinomas (EEC) tissue specimens that had undergone comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) via the FoundationOne CDx assay during routine clinical care. High tumor mutational burden (TMB) was defined as ≥10mut/Mb using the FDA-approved CDx cutoff for pembrolizumab. Microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined on 95 loci. Evidence of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) was determined via genomic loss of heterozygosity (gLOH), a validated HRD detection method for predicting PARP inhibitor effectiveness in ovarian carcinoma. High gLOH was defined as ≥16%. RESULTS: A genomic analysis of 2159 EMSCs revealed a predominance of TP53 mutations, microsatellite stability, low tumor mutational burden (TMB), and recurrent alterations of PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, ERBB2, CCNE1, FBXW7 and MYC. Evidence of HRD via high gLOH was identified in 22% of EMSCs. BRCA1 and BRCA2 alterations, as well as unique SET (solid, pseudo-endometrioid, and transitional cell-like) variant morphology, were enriched in HRD-EMSC. There was an increased frequency of CCNE1 amplification, a lower prevalence of PIK3CA and PPP2R1A alterations, and no differences in HRD, MSI or TMB biomarker frequencies in patients of predicted African ancestry. EMSC exhibited distinct gene mutation frequencies and MSI, TMB and gLOH biomarker signatures compared to a cohort 2346 EEC. CONCLUSIONS: Molecularly defined subgroups provide a framework to test the susceptibility of EMSC to targeted therapies in specific genetic settings (e.g. HRD, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, ERBB2, MYC, CCNE1).

Based on the approvals of crizotinib and entrectinib by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ROS1 positive nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we sought to examine the mutational profile of a variety of solid tumors (excluding sarcomas) with ROS1 fusions that underwent comprehensive genomic profiling. A review of our database was performed to extract all nonsarcoma patients with ROS1 fusions that were discovered by the hybrid capture-based DNA only sequencing assays. We examined the coalterations representing potentially targetable biomarkers, resistance alterations and other alterations in these cases. In addition, we examined the histologic characteristics and protein expression with immunohistochemistry (IHC). From a series of clinically advanced nonsarcoma solid tumors, 356 unique cases with ROS1 fusions included 275 (77.2%) NSCLC and 81 (22.8%) non-NSCLC. Ten novel ROS1 fusions were discovered. Importantly, the NSCLC ROS1 fusionpos tumors had a higher PD-L1 IHC expression positivity when compared to the NSCLC ROS1 fusionneg population (P = .012, Chi-squared). The frequency of known and likely anti-ROS1 targeted therapy resistance genomic alterations in NSCLC was 7.3% (20/275) and in non-NSCLC was 4.9% (4/81). Overall, the coalteration profile of ROS1 fusionpos NSCLC and non-NSCLC was similar with only three genes altered significantly more frequently in non-NSCLC vs NSCLC: TERT, PTEN, APC. In our study, we characterized a large cohort of ROS1 fusionpos NSCLC and non-NSCLC solid tumors and discovered 10 novel ROS1 fusions.

BACKGROUND: This study assessed the contrasting genomic profiles from the primary tumors (PTs), metastatic (MET) sites, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) of patients with prostate cancer (PC). METHODS: A total of 1294 PC tissue specimens and 2462 ctDNA specimens underwent hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). Specimens included tissue from PTs; MET biopsies from bone, liver (LIV), lung (LU), brain (BN), lymph node, and soft tissue sites; and ctDNA. RESULTS: Differences in alteration frequencies between PT, MET, and ctDNA specimens for selected genes were observed. TMPRSS2:ERG fusion frequencies were similar between PTs and MET sites (35% vs 33%) but varied among MET sites. Genomic alterations (GAs) in AR were lowest in PTs (2%) and highest in MET sites (from 24% in LU to 50% in LIV). BN had the highest genomic alterations/tumor (8) and enrichment for PTEN GAs. The BRCA2 GA frequency varied from 0% in BN to 15% in LIV. ERBB2 amplification was increased in MET sites in comparison with PTs. RB1 GAs were increased in LIV. Biomarkers potentially associated with an anti-PD(L)1 response included CDK12 GAs (16% in LU) and a microsatellite instability-high status (29% in BN). Analyses of ctDNA featured a broad spectrum of GAs similar to those detected across MET sites. CONCLUSIONS: CGP of PTs, MET sites, and ctDNA in PC exhibited differences most likely associated with tumor progression, clonal evolution, and exposure to systemic therapies; ctDNA can also capture a broad range of potential therapeutic opportunities for patients with PC.

BACKGROUND: At diagnosis, the majority of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) present with advanced disease and a poor prognosis. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) early in the disease course may increase access to targeted therapies and clinical trials; however, unresolved issues remain surrounding the optimal biopsy type to submit for CGP. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Mutational frequencies between primary tumor biopsies (Pbx), metastatic biopsies (Mbx), and liquid biopsies (Lbx) in 1,632 patients with IHCC were compared. RESULTS: Potentially actionable alterations were found in 52%, 34%, and 35% of patients in the Pbx, Mbx, and Lbx cohorts, respectively. In Pbx, Mbx, and Lbx, FGFR2 rearrangements were found in 9%, 6%, and 4%, and IDH1 mutations were identified in 16%, 5%, and 9% patients, respectively. Moreover, alterations in FGFR2 and IDH1 were significantly associated with distinct ancestries, including 2.1-fold enrichment for FGFR2 rearrangements in patients with African ancestry and 1.5-fold enrichment for IDH1 mutations in patients with admixed American (Hispanic) ancestry. Finally, the publication of biomarker-driven clinical trials in IHCC correlated with changing CGP testing patterns. Significant correlations between patient characteristics and IHCC trial disclosures were observed, including a significant decrease from time between biopsy and CGP testing, and more frequent testing of primary versus metastatic samples. CONCLUSION: Overall, because of the high likelihood of identifying actionable genomic alterations, CGP should be considered for the majority of patients with inoperable IHCC, and Lbx and Mbx can be considered as part of the diagnostic suite. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) should be considered for all patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) or suspected IHCC, as actionable alterations were commonly found in multiple genes and a wide variety of FGFR2 fusion partners were identified. The disclosure of IHCC trial data correlated with increased use of CGP, an encouraging trend that moves new therapeutic options forward for rare cancers with a rare biomarker. Although tissue from the primary lesion may identify actionable alterations at higher rates, CGP of a liquid biopsy or metastatic site can be considered, particularly if the primary tissue block is exhausted.

BACKGROUND: Among patients with breast carcinoma who have metastatic disease, 15%-30% will eventually develop brain metastases. We examined the genomic landscape of a large cohort of patients with breast carcinoma brain metastases (BCBMs) and compared it with a cohort of patients with primary breast carcinomas (BCs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 733 BCBMs tested with comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and compared them with 10,772 primary breast carcinomas (not-paired) specimens. For a subset of 16 triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC)-brain metastasis samples, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed concurrently. RESULTS: A total of 733 consecutive BCBMs were analyzed. Compared with primary BCs, BCBMs were enriched for genomic alterations in TP53 (72.0%, 528/733), ERBB2 (25.6%, 188/733), RAD21 (14.1%, 103/733), NF1 (9.0%, 66/733), BRCA1 (7.8%, 57/733), and ESR1 (6.3%,46/733) (p < .05 for all comparisons). Immune checkpoint inhibitor biomarkers such as high tumor mutational burden (TMB-high; 16.2%, 119/733); high microsatellite instability (1.9%, 14/733); CD274 amplification (3.6%, 27/733); and apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like mutational signature (5.9%, 43/733) were significantly higher in the BCBM cohort compared with the primary BC cohort (p < .05 for all comparisons). When using both CGP and PD-L1 IHC, 37.5% (6/16) of patients with TNBC brain metastasis were eligible for atezolizumab based on PD-L1 IHC, and 18.8% (3/16) were eligible for pembrolizumab based on TMB-high status. CONCLUSION: We found a high prevalence of clinically relevant genomic alterations in patients with BCBM, suggesting that tissue acquisition (surgery) and/or cerebrospinal fluid for CGP in addition to CGP of the primary tumor may be clinically warranted. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This study found a high prevalence of clinically relevant genomic alterations in patients with breast carcinoma brain metastasis (BCBM), suggesting that tissue acquisition (surgery) and/or cerebrospinal fluid for comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) in addition to CGP of the primary tumor may be clinically warranted. In addition, this study identified higher positive rates for FDA-approved immunotherapy biomarkers detected by CGP in patients with BCBM, opening a possibility of new on-label treatments. Last, this study noted limited correlation between tumor mutational burden and PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC), which shows the importance of testing patients with triple-negative BCBM for immune checkpoint inhibitor eligibility with both PD-L1 IHC and CGP.

BCORL1 is a transcriptional corepressor homologous to BCOR. We describe 12 BCORL1-altered uterine sarcomas with striking resemblance to BCOR-altered endometrial stromal sarcoma (BCOR-ESS), including 5 with BCORL1 rearrangements (JAZF1-BCORL1, EP300-BCORL1, or internal BCORL1 rearrangement), 5 with inactivating BCORL1 mutations (T513fs*22, P600fs*1, R945*, R1196*, or R1265fs*4) and 2 with homozygous BCORL1 deletion. The median patient age was 57.5 years (range 33-79). An association with aggressive clinical behavior was identified. Diagnoses assigned prior to genomic testing varied: 7 tumors were previously diagnosed as ESS, 2 as high-grade uterine sarcomas, 2 as myxoid uterine leiomyosarcomas, and 1 as a uterine spindle cell neoplasm consistent with leiomyosarcoma. Tumors harbored frequent gelatinous, mucomyxoid-like appearance by gross examination and unique histology with morphological overlap with BCOR-ESS. Key microscopic features included (1) a spindle cell appearance, most often with at least focal myxoid stroma, (2) variable amounts of hypocellular fibromyxoid spindle areas with lower grade atypia and/or (3) variable amounts of epithelioid areas with higher grade atypia. Specifically, spindle and epithelioid components were present in 100 and 75% of sarcomas, respectively; myxoid stroma was identified in 83%, collagen plaques or fibrosis in 50%, and high-grade nuclear atypia was present in 42%. Like BCOR-ESS, 50% of BCORL1-altered sarcomas exhibited CDK4 amplification or CDKN2A loss. In contrast, 33% harbored NF1 alterations, while 25% had other alterations in the NF2-mTOR pathway, expanding potential therapeutic targets. In conclusion, inactivating BCORL1 genomic alterations may define a distinct subset of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas with biological overlap with BCOR-ESS, both of which may mimic myxoid leiomyosarcomas.

Positive program death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an approved companion diagnostic guiding the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in uterine cervical carcinoma (CXC). The clinical and genomic features of PD-L1-positive (PD-L1positive) CXC have not been previously described. We reviewed the clinicopathologic and molecular features of 647 CXC cases that were tested using DAKO 22C3 PD-L1 IHC and comprehensive genomic profiling during the course of clinical care. PD-L1positive cases were defined via a combined positive score of ≥ 1. No differences were found in age, genetic ancestry, and HPV status of the PD-L1positive (n = 548) and PD-L1negative disease subset. The PD-L1 positivity rate varied by histologic subtype of CXC with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) having a PD-L1 positivity rate of 91% (397/437) and usual-type adenocarcinoma's PD-L1 positivity rate being 60% (35/58). In addition, the PD-L1 positivity rate varied depending on site of the specimen with 89.1% (261/293) positivity rate observed in cervix specimens compared to 25% (2/8) in brain metastases specimens. No significant difference in tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability, and CD274 (encoding PD-L1) amplification was observed between PD-L1positive and PD-L1negative CXC subsets. By combining TMB with PD-L1, an additional 17 patients are eligible for pembrolizumab when compared to PD-L1 testing alone. TERT promoter alterations and APOBEC mutational signature were enriched in the PD-L1positive CXC SCC (p = 0.011, and p = 0.004, respectively). Our study reveals important prevalence data on PD-L1 positivity in CXC non-SCC and suggests that further studies in these histologic subtypes are warranted. In addition, we also provide a key framework to guide both specimen selection and future investigations of predictors of immunotherapy response in cervical cancer patients. Lastly, TERT promoter alterations and APOBEC mutational signature may be a biologically unique subset of PD-L1positive CXC SCC.

PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) currently has the most Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals as a companion diagnostic (CDx) for immunotherapies in specific tumor types; however, multiple other immunotherapy biomarkers exist. We performed this study to examine and report the prevalence of PD-L1 expression in a wide variety of tumor types and examine its relationship to microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and CD274 (PD-L1) gene amplification. We performed a retrospective analysis of all cases in which both PD-L1 IHC (using the DAKO 22C3 IHC assay with either tumor proportion score (TPS) or combined positive score (CPS); or the VENTANA SP142 assay with infiltrating immune cell score (IC)) and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) were tested at Foundation Medicine between January 2016 and November 2019. Of note, PD-L1 positivity is defined per the CDx indication and tumor proportion score (TPS ≥ 1) for indications without a CDx claim; and TMB positivity is defined as ≥10 mutations/Mb. A total of 48,782 cases were tested for PD-L1 IHC and CGP. Immune cell expression of PD-L1 was more frequently identified than tumor cell expression of PD-L1. We saw a high correlation between PD-L1 expression and CD274 gene amplification (p < 0.0001), MSI and TMB (p < 0.0001), and PD-L1 and TMB (p < 0.0001). In addition, the combination of PD-L1 and TMB identified four unique disease subsets PD-L1-/TMB-, PD-L1+/TMB-, PD-L1-/TMB+, and PD-L1+/TMB+ with varying prevalence dependent on tumor type. Lastly, 50.3% (24527/48782) of the overall cohort was positive for at least one of the CDx or exploratory biomarkers described above. This is the largest pan-cancer analysis of relevant biomarkers associated with response to checkpoint inhibitors to date, including more than 48,000 cases. Additional clinical trials with treatment outcome data in individual tumor types are needed to determine whether the double positive PD-L1+/TMB+ disease subset would respond best to immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: We examined the current biomarker landscape in breast cancer when programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) testing is integrated with comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed data from samples of 312 consecutive patients with breast carcinoma tested with both CGP and PD-L1 (SP142) immunohistochemistry (IHC) during routine clinical care. These samples were stratified into hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor negative (HER2-; n = 159), HER2-positive (n = 32), and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cohorts (n = 121). RESULTS: We found that in the TNBC cohort, 43% (52/121) were immunocyte PD-L1-positive, and in the HR+/HER2- cohort, 30% (48/159) had PIK3CA companion diagnostics mutations, and hence were potentially eligible for atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel or alpelisib plus fulvestrant, respectively. Of the remaining 212 patients, 10.4% (22/212) had a BRCA1/2 mutation, which, if confirmed by germline testing, would allow olaparib plus talazoparib therapy. Of the remaining 190 patients, 169 (88.9%) were positive for another therapy-associated marker or a marker that would potentially qualify the patient for a clinical trial. In addition, we examined the relationship between immunocyte PD-L1 positivity and different tumor mutation burden (TMB) cutoffs and found that when a TMB cutoff of ≥9 mutations per Mb was applied (cutoff determined based on prior publication), 11.6% (14/121) patients were TMB ≥9 mutations/Mb and of these, TMB ≥9 mutations per Mb, 71.4% (10/14) were also positive for PD-L1 IHC. CONCLUSION: Our integrated PD-L1 and CGP methodology identified 32% of the tested patients as potentially eligible for at least one of the two new Food and Drug Administration approved therapies, atezolizumab or alpelisib, and an additional 61.2% (191/312) had other biomarker-guided potential therapeutic options. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This integrated programmed death-ligand 1 immunohistochemistry and comprehensive genomic profiling methodology identified 32% of the tested patients as eligible for at least one of the two new Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies, atezolizumab or alpelisib, and an additional 61.2% (191/312) had other biomarker-guided potential therapeutic options. These findings suggest new research opportunities to evaluate the predictive utility of other commonly seen PIK3CA mutations in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers and to standardize tumor mutation burden cutoffs to evaluate its potentially predictive role in triple-negative breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy (mPARPi) in real-world practice by biomarker status (BRCA1/2 alterations [BRCAalt] and a homologous recombination deficiency signature [HRDsig]) in advanced ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS: Patients with OC receiving 1st-line platinum-based chemotherapy and either mPARPi or no maintenance were included. Patient data was obtained by a US-based de-identified OC clinico-genomic database, from ~280 US cancer clinics (01/2015-03/2023). Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (rwOS) were compared by biomarker status using Cox models, weighted by propensity scores. RESULTS: Of 673 patients, 160 received mPARPi [31.2% BRCAalt and 51.9% HRDsig(+)] and 513 no maintenance [15.6% BRCAalt and 34.1% HRDsig(+)]. BRCAalt patients receiving mPARPi vs. no maintenance had favorable rwPFS (HR 0.48, 95%CI 0.26-0.87, p=0.0154), as did BRCA wild-type (wt) (HR 0.76, 95%CI 0.57-1.01, p=0.0595). Favorable rwOS was not observed with mPARPi for BRCAalt or BRCAwt. HRDsig(+) patients receiving mPARPi vs. no maintenance had favorable rwPFS (HR 0.36, 95%CI 0.24-0.55, p <0.001) and numerically favorable rwOS (HR 0.46, 95%CI 0.21-1.14, p=0.0561). No differences were observed for HRDsig(-). mPARPi treatment interaction was observed for HRDsig(+) vs. HRDsig(-) (rwPFS p<0.001 / rwOS p=0.016) but not for BRCAalt vs. BRCAwt. Patients BRCAwt/HRDsig(+) receiving mPARPi had favorable rwPFS (HR 0.40, 95%CI 0.22-0.72, p=0.003), while no difference was observed for BRCAwt/HRDsig(-). CONCLUSIONS: HRDsig predicted benefit of mPARPi better than BRCAalt. HRDsig(+) patients had favorable outcomes, even among BRCAwt patients, while HRDsig(-) patients showed no enrichment for benefit with mPARPi. HRDsig might predict benefit from mPARPi regardless of BRCAalt status.
