RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Panel-based comprehensive genomic profiling is used in clinical practice worldwide; however, large real-world datasets of patients with advanced gastric cancer are not well known. OBJECTIVE: We investigated what differences exist in clinically relevant alterations for molecularly defined or age-stratified subgroups. METHODS: This was a collaborative biomarker study of a real-world dataset from comprehensive genomic profiling testing (Foundation Medicine, Inc.). Hybrid capture was carried out on at least 324 cancer-related genes and select introns from 31 genes frequently rearranged in cancer. Overall, 4634 patients were available for analyses and were stratified by age (≥ 40/< 40 years), microsatellite instability status, tumor mutational burden status (high 10 ≥ /low < 10 Muts/Mb), Epstein-Barr virus status, and select gene alterations. We analyzed the frequency of alterations with a chi-square test with Yate's correction. RESULTS: Genes with frequent alterations included TP53 (60.1%), ARID1A (19.6%), CDKN2A (18.2%), KRAS (16.6%), and CDH1 (15.8%). Differences in comprehensive genomic profiling were observed according to molecularly defined or age-stratified subgroups. Druggable genomic alterations were detected in 31.4% of patients; ATM (4.4%), BRAF V600E (0.4%), BRCA1 (1.5%), BRCA2 (2.9%), ERBB2 amplification (9.2%), IDH1 (0.2%), KRAS G12C (0.7%), microsatellite instability-high (4.8%), NTRK1/2/3 fusion (0.13%), PIK3CA mutation (11.4%), and tumor mutational burden-high (9.4%). CDH1 alterations and MET amplification were significantly more frequent in patients aged < 40 years (27.7 and 6.2%) than in those aged ≥ 40 years (14.7 and 4.0%). CONCLUSIONS: Real-world datasets from clinical panel testing revealed the genomic landscape in gastric cancer by subgroup. These findings provide insights for the current therapeutic strategies and future development of treatments in gastric cancer.

PURPOSE: Panel-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is used in clinical practice worldwide; however, large real-world data (RWD) of patients with advanced small intestine cancer have not been characterized. We investigated differences in the prevalence of clinically relevant alterations across molecularly defined or age-stratified subgroups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a collaborative biomarker study of RWD from CGP testing (Foundation Medicine, Inc). Hybrid capture was conducted on at least 324 cancer-related genes and select introns from up to 31 genes frequently rearranged in cancer. Overall, 1,364 patients with advanced small intestine cancer were available for analyses and were stratified by age (≥40 years/<40 years), microsatellite instability (MSI) status, tumor mutational burden (TMB) status (high ≥10/low <10 Muts/Mb), and select gene alterations. The frequency of alterations was analyzed using a chi-square test with Yate's correction. RESULTS: Genes with frequent alterations included TP53 (59.8%), KRAS (54.8%), APC (27.7%), and CDKN2A (22.4%). Frequent genes with amplifications were MYC (6.7%), MDM2 (5.9%), GATA6 (5.5%), and CCND1 (3.4%). Patients younger than 40 years had significantly lower frequency of APC mutations than those 40 years and older (10.4% v 28.7%; P = .0008). Druggable genomic alterations were detected in 22.3% of patients: BRAF V600E (1.2%), BRCA1 (1.8%), BRCA2 (3.2%), ERBB2 amplification (3.2%), KRAS G12C (3.3%), NTRK1/2/3 fusion (0.07%), MSI-high (7.0%), and TMB-high (12.2%), with no significant differences in the frequency according to age (<40 years v ≥40 years; 22.1% v 22.3%). TMB of 10-20 Mut/Mb was observed in 4.8% of patients, and TMB ≥20 Mut/Mb was seen in 7.3% of the cohort. CONCLUSION: RWD from clinical panel testing revealed the genomic landscape in small intestine cancer by subgroup. These findings provide insights for the future development of treatments in advanced small intestine cancer.

PURPOSE: HERALD/EPOC1806 was conducted as a multicenter phase II trial assessing trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) therapy for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-amplified progressive stage solid tumors detected by cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients exhibited advanced solid tumors with HER2 amplification that was identified via next-generation sequencing of cfDNA testing, without the requirement for immunohistochemical HER2 testing. The studied group was administered T-DXd at 5.4 mg/kg once every 3 weeks until onset of disease progression or intolerable toxicity. RESULTS: Overall, 4,734 patients underwent cfDNA testing from December 2019 to January 2022, and 252 demonstrated HER2 amplification. Finally, the study included 62 patients with 16 cancer types with a median baseline plasma HER2 copy number (CN) of 8.55 (range, 2.4-73.9). Confirmed overall response rate (ORR) by investigator assessment was 56.5% (95% CI, 43.3 to 69.0), thus showing a value beyond the 5% threshold. Responses were evaluated for 13 cancer types, including KRAS-mutant colorectal (1/3), PIK3CA-mutant endometrial (5/6), and tissue HER2-negative gastric (1/2) cancers. Plasma HER2 CN above versus below the baseline median value did not differ for impact response; however, clearance of HER2 amplification in cfDNA on cycle 2 day 1 had higher response values compared with persistence. Median progression-free survival and response duration were 7.0 (95% CI, 4.9 to 9.7) and 8.8 (95% CI, 5.8 to 11.2) months, respectively, with the majority of complications being mild to moderate. Interstitial lung diseases were identified in 16 (26%) patients, including 14 patients with grade 1 disease, one patient with grade 2 disease, and one patient with grade 3 disease. CONCLUSION: T-DXd treatment demonstrated high ORR with durable response in patients with advanced HER2-amplified solid tumors determined with cfDNA testing.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: CDC37 is a key determinant of client kinase recruitment to the HSP90 chaperoning system. We hypothesized that kinase-specific dependency on CDC37 alters the efficacy of targeted therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two independent mCRC cohorts were analyzed to compare the survival outcomes between CDC37-high and CDC37-low patients (stratified by the median cutoff values): the CALGB/SWOG 80405 trial (226 and 207 patients receiving first-line bevacizumab- and cetuximab-containing chemotherapies, respectively) and Japanese retrospective (50 refractory patients receiving regorafenib) cohorts. A dataset of specimens submitted to a commercial CLIA-certified laboratory was utilized to characterize molecular profiles of CDC37-high (top quartile, N = 5055) and CDC37-low (bottom quartile, N = 5055) CRCs. RESULTS: In the bevacizumab-treated group, CDC37-high patients showed significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) (median 13.3 vs 9.6 months, hazard ratio [HR] 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44-0.79, p < 0.01) than CDC37-low patients. In the cetuximab-treated group, CDC37-high and CDC37-low patients had similar outcomes. In the regorafenib-treated group, CDC37-high patients showed significantly better overall survival (median 11.3 vs 6.0 months, HR 0.24, 95% CI 0.11-0.54, p < 0.01) and PFS (median 3.5 vs 1.9 months, HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28-0.94, p = 0.03). Comprehensive molecular profiling revealed that CDC37-high CRCs were associated with higher VEGFA, FLT1, and KDR expressions and activated hypoxia signature. CONCLUSIONS: CDC37-high mCRC patients derived more benefit from anti-VEGF therapies, including bevacizumab and regorafenib, but not from cetuximab. Molecular profiles suggested that such tumors were dependent on angiogenesis-relating pathways.
