RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is an uncommon subtype of lung cancer believed to represent a spectrum of tumors sharing characteristics of both small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Other groups have proposed genomic LCNEC subtypes, including small cell-like, non-small cell-like, and carcinoid-like subtypes. The primary goal of this study was to better define the NSCLC-like subtype with comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). METHODS: An institutional database was queried to identify tissue specimens (TBx, N = 1,426) and liquid biopsies (LBx, N = 39) submitted for CGP during routine clinical care (8/2014 - 7/2023) with a disease ontology of LCNEC. TBx were profiled with FoundationOne® (F1) or F1CDx, using hybrid-capture technology to detect genomic alterations (GAs). RESULTS: 1,426 LCNEC samples were genomically profiled. The presence of RB1 and TP53 genomic alterations (GAs) were used to define a SCLC-like subtype (n = 557). A carcinoid-like group was defined by the presence of MEN1 mutation in the absence of TP53 GAs (n = 25). The remaining 844 samples were compared to the SCLC-like group and GAs enriched relative to the SCLC-like samples with a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.0001 were used to define a NSCLC-like group. These NSCLC-like subtype-defining GAs included SMARCA4, KRAS, FGF3/4/19, STK11, CDKN2A/B, MTAP, and CCND1. Under this schema, 530 samples were classified as NSCLC-like and 314 remained unclassified. CONCLUSIONS: Large-scale CGP can better characterize biologically distinct molecular subtypes in LCNEC. Further studies to define how these molecular subtypes may help inform treatment decisions in this complex and challenging malignancy are warranted.

BACKGROUND: MYC is a commonly amplified, potentially targetable gene in prostate cancer (PCa). We sought to define the molecular, immunologic, and clinicodemographic landscape of MYC amplification (MYCamp) in advanced PCa to establish a rationale for personalized treatment combinations. METHODS: Hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on PCa tumor samples. MYCamp = copy number ≥6 (CN). Patients treated between January 2011 and December 2020 were selected from a nationwide deidentified (280 clinics) EHR-derived clinicogenomic database (CGDB). RESULTS: Of 12,528 hormone-sensitive and castrate-resistant (CRPC) samples, MYCamp was detected in 10.6% (median CN = 8). MYCamp was more frequent in men with African versus European ancestry (12.9% vs. 10.2% P = .002), in metastatic vs. primary tissue (15.7% vs. 6.2% P < .001), and enriched in metastatic liver lesions (20.2%), but inversely associated with high microsatellite-instability (0.8% vs. 2.4%, P < .001). MYC CN≥15 was associated with PD-L1 expression (26.1% vs. 9.8%, P = .025). Amplification of AR, RAD21, LYN, CCND1, ZNF703, FGF3/4/19, and FGFR1 was enriched in MYCamp vs. MYCwt (all P < .001). In liquid samples with tumor fraction [TF]>0, MYCamp was detected in 2.0% (28/1,402), and 4.5% (20/445) with TF>20%. In the CGDB, (67 MYCamp and 658 MYCwt), patients received similar treatments; most received hormone therapies (35.8% MYCamp vs. 31.5% MYCwt) or chemotherapy (37.3% MYCamp vs. 27.7% MYCwt) as first therapy after CGP report. CONCLUSION: MYCamp defines a biologically distinct subset of PCa patients and is characterized with multiple proxies of advanced disease. These data suggest that MYCamp may be prognostic; independent cohorts are needed to validate these findings.

PURPOSE: Alpelisib is a PI3K alpha (PI3Kα)-selective inhibitor approved for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) PIK3CA-mutated advanced breast cancer (ABC) based on the SOLAR-1 trial, which defined 11 substitutions in exons 7, 9, and 20 in PIK3CA (SOLAR1m). We report alpelisib effectiveness for ABC harboring SOLAR1m, as well as other pathogenic PIK3CA mutations (OTHERm) using comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A total of 33,977 tissue and 1,587 liquid biopsies were analyzed using hybrid capture-based CGP covering the entire coding sequence of PIK3CA. Clinical characteristics and treatment history were available for 10,750 patients with ABC in the deidentified Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine clinico-genomic database (FH-FMI CGDB). RESULTS: PIK3CAm were detected in 11,767/33,977 (35%) of tissue biopsies, including 2,300 (7%) samples with OTHERm and no SOLAR1m. Liquid biopsy had 77% sensitivity detecting PIK3CAm, increasing to 95% with circulating tumor DNA fraction ≥2%. In patients with HR+/HER2- ABC and PIK3CAm receiving alpelisib/fulvestrant (ALP+FUL; n = 182) or fulvestrant alone (FUL; n = 119), median real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) was 5.9 months on ALP+FUL [95% confidence interval (CI): 5.1-7.4] versus 3.1 months on FUL (95% CI: 2.7-3.7; P < 0.0001). In patients with OTHERm, median rwPFS was 4.0 months on ALP+FUL (95% CI: 2.8-10.1) versus 2.5 months on FUL (95% CI: 2.2-3.7; P = 0.0054). CONCLUSIONS: CGP detects diverse PIK3CAm in a greater number of patients with ABC than PCR hotspot testing; 20% of patients with PIK3CAm do not have SOLAR1m. These patients may derive benefit from alpelisib. See related commentary by Tau and Miller, p. 989.

INTRODUCTION: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), each requiring testing for precision biomarkers, have recently been approved in the adjuvant setting. We assessed the potential value of multigene testing in early lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS: Using a real-world clinicogenomic database linking deidentified electronic health record-derived clinical data to genomic data, we selected patients with LUAD who underwent tissue comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). Using a probabilistic decision tree, we estimated the cost implications of the avoidance of adjuvant ICI in patients with programmed death-ligand 1-positive (PD-L1+) LUAD and an ALK, ROS1 or RET driver. RESULTS: The CGP was performed on a specimen collected before advanced disease in 20% (1320 of 6697) of cases and ordered before advanced diagnosis for 12.6% (847 of 6697) of patients. The prevalence of driver alterations in early and advanced-stage specimens was similar, though KRAS mutations were enriched in early disease and drivers including ALK rearrangements in advanced disease. Patients who had CGP results obtained before versus after recurrence had less time between recurrence and the start of any first-line treatment (median 3.6 versus 6 wk, p < 0.001). Through avoidance of ICI in programmed death-ligand 1-positive early LUAD with an ALK, ROS1 or RET driver, we estimated that the universal CGP could reduce expected costs by $1597.23 per patient relative to EGFR single-gene testing. CONCLUSIONS: The CGP can identify driver alterations and accelerate the start of first-line therapy at recurrence. It may also represent a cost-effective approach for avoiding futile adjuvant ICI in patients with drivers that have historically lacked activity with ICI in metastatic disease.

PURPOSE: APOBEC mutagenesis underlies somatic evolution and accounts for tumor heterogeneity in several cancers, including breast cancer (BC). In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of a real-world cohort for time-to-treatment discontinuation (TTD) and overall survival on CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy (ET) and immune checkpoint inhibitors. METHODS: Comprehensive genomic profiling results from 29,833 BC samples were analyzed for tumor mutational burden and APOBEC signatures. For clinical outcomes, a deidentified nationwide (United States-based) BC Clinico-Genomic Database (CGDB) was evaluated with log-rank and Cox models. Patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) BC who received first-line ET and CDK4/6i were included. Eligible patients from Mayo Clinic and Duke University were HR+ HER2- BC with sequencing data between September 2013 and July 2020. RESULTS: Of 29,833 samples sequenced, 7.9% were APOBEC+ with a high rate in invasive lobular carcinoma (16.7%) and in metastatic tumors (9.7%) relative to locally biopsied BC (4.3%; P < .001). In CGDB, 857 patients with HR+ HER2- BC received ET plus CDK4/6i in the first line. APOBEC+ patients had significantly shorter TTD on ET plus CDK4/6i than APOBEC- patients, 7.8 (95% CI, 4.3 to 14.6) versus 12.4 months (95% CI, 11.2 to 14.1; hazard ratio, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.39; P = .0036). Clinical benefit to immune checkpoint inhibitors was observed in HR+ HER2-, APOBEC+, tumor mutational burden-high patients, with four of nine CGDB patients (TTD 0.3-11.3 months) and four of six patients in Duke/Mayo cohorts (TTD 0.9-40.5 months) with a TTD of ≥ 3 months. CONCLUSION: APOBEC+ HR+ HER2- patients had shorter TTD on first-line ET plus CDK4/6i relative to APOBEC- patients. Further research is needed to optimize the treatment of APOBEC+ HR+ HER2- BC and to investigate the efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies in this population.

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers predicting second-generation novel hormonal therapy (NHT) benefit relative to taxanes are critical for optimized treatment decisions for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. These associations have not been reported simultaneously for common mCRPC genomic biomarkers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate predictive associations of common genomic aberrations in mCRPC using an established comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) system. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A retrospective cohort study used data from a deidentified US-based clinicogenomic database comprising patients treated in routine clinical practice between 2011 and 2020, evaluated with Foundation Medicine CGP in tissue biopsies obtained around the time of treatment decision. The main cohort included 180 NHT and 179 taxane lines of therapy (LOTs) from 308 unique patients. The sequential cohort comprised a subset of the main cohort NHT LOTs immediately followed by taxane from 55 unique patients. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Main cohort analyses were adjusted for known treatment assignment biases via inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) in treatment interaction models. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: In the main cohort, patients with AR amplification (ARamp) or PTEN aberrations (PTENalt) had worse relative PSA response on NHT versus taxanes compared with patients without. Patients with ARamp, PTENalt, or RB1 aberrations (RB1alt) also had worse relative TTNT and OS on NHT but not on taxanes. In multivariable models for TTNT and OS adjusted via IPTW, ARamp, PTENalt, and RB1alt were shown as poor prognostic factors overall and demonstrated significant treatment interactions, indicating reduced hazards of therapy switch and death on taxanes versus NHT. Consistent associations favoring increased benefit from subsequent taxane despite prior NHT treatment line were observed only for ARamp in the sequential cohort, in which very few patients had RB1alt for assessment. CONCLUSIONS: ARamp status is a candidate biomarker to predict poor effectiveness of NHT relative to taxanes in mCRPC in scenarios where both options are considered. PATIENT SUMMARY: Specific alterations in the DNA of tumors may assist in choosing between novel oral hormonal therapies and standard chemotherapy in advanced prostate cancer patients.

Importance: The most useful biomarkers for clinical decision-making identify patients likely to have improved outcomes with one treatment vs another. Objective: To evaluate treatment class-specific outcomes of patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) vs taxane chemotherapy by tumor mutational burden (TMB). Design, Setting, and Participants: This comparative effectiveness analysis of clinical variables and outcomes used prospectively defined biomarker-stratified genomic data from a deidentified clinicogenomic database. Data included men with previously treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving ICI or single-agent taxane chemotherapy from January 2011 to April 2021 at approximately 280 US academic or community-based cancer clinics (approximately 800 sites of care). Data were analyzed from July to August 2021. Exposures: Single-agent ICI or single-agent taxanes. Treatments were assigned at discretion of physician and patient without randomization. Imbalances of known factors between treatment groups were adjusted with propensity weighting. Main Outcomes and Measures: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, time to next therapy (TTNT), and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 741 men (median [IQR], 70 [64-76] years) with mCRPC received comprehensive genomic profiling and were treated with ICI or single-agent taxane therapy. At baseline, the median (IQR) PSA level was 79.4 (19.0-254) ng/mL, 108 men (18.8%) had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status scores of 2 or greater, and 644 men (86.9%) had received prior systemic treatments for mCRPC. A total of 45 patients (6.1%) received ICI therapy and 696 patients (93.9%) received taxane therapy. Among patients with TMB of fewer than 10 mutations per megabase (mt/Mb) receiving ICI, compared with those receiving taxanes, had worse TTNT (median [IQR], 2.4 [1.1-3.2] months vs 4.1 [2.2-6.3] months; hazard ratio [HR], 2.65; 95% CI, 1.78-3.95; P < .001). In contrast, for patients with TMB of 10 mt/Mb or greater, use of ICIs, compared with use taxanes, was associated with more favorable TTNT (median [IQR], 8.0 [3.4 to unknown] months vs 2.4 [2.4-7.3] months; HR, 0.37, 95% CI, 0.15-0.87; P = .02) and OS (median 19.9 [8.06 to unknown] months vs 4.2 [2.69 - 6.12] months; HR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.10-0.57; P = .001). Among all 741 patients, 44 (5.9%) had TMB of 10 mt/Mb or greater, 22 (3.0%) had high microsatellite instability, and 20 (2.7%) had both. Treatment interactions with TMB of 10 mt/Mb or greater (TTNT: HR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.32-0.31; P < .001; OS: HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.076-0.81; P = .02) were stronger than high microsatellite instability alone (TTNT: HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.03-0.51; P = .004; OS: HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.13-1.12; P = .08). Conclusions and Relevance: In this comparative effectiveness study, ICIs were more effective than taxanes in patients with mCRPC when TMB was 10 mt/Mb or greater but not when TMB was fewer than 10 mt/Mb. The results add validity to the existing TMB cutoff of 10 mt/Mb for ICI use in later lines of therapy, and suggest that ICIs may be a viable alternative to taxane chemotherapy for patients with mCRPC with high TMB.

PURPOSE: To study the impact of standard-of-care hormonal therapies on metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) clinical genomic profiles in real-world practice, with a focus on homologous recombination-repair (HRR) genes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Targeted next-generation sequencing of 1,302 patients with mPC was pursued using the FoundationOne or FoundationOne CDx assays. Longitudinal clinical data for correlative analysis were curated via technology-enabled abstraction of electronic health records. Genomic biomarkers, including individual gene aberrations and genome-wide loss-of-heterozygosity (gLOH) scores, were compared according to biopsy location and time of sample acquisition (androgen deprivation therapy [ADT]-naïve, ADT-progression and post-ADT, and novel hormonal therapies [NHT]-progression), using chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Multivariable analysis used linear regression. False-discovery rate of 0.05 was applied to account for multiple comparisons. RESULTS: Eight hundred forty (65%), 132 (10%), and 330 (25%) biopsies were ADT-naïve, ADT-progression, and NHT-progression, respectively. Later-stage samples were enriched for AR, MYC, TP53, PTEN, and RB1 aberrations (all adjusted P values < .05), but prevalence of HRR-related BRCA2, ATM, and CDK12 aberrations remained stable. Primary and metastatic ADT-naïve biopsies presented similar prevalence of TP53 (36% v 31%) and BRCA2 (8% v 7%) aberrations; 81% of ADT-naïve BRCA2-mutated samples presented BRCA2 biallelic loss. Higher gLOH scores were independently associated with HRR genes (BRCA2, PALB2, and FANCA), TP53, and RB1 aberrations, and with prior exposure to hormonal therapies in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of HRR-gene aberrations remains stable along mPC progression, supporting the use of diagnostic biopsies to guide poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. gLOH scores increase with emerging resistance to hormonal therapies, independently of individual HRR gene mutations.

OBJECTIVE: To present the characteristics of the AKT1E117K gene variant and a description of the clinical application in a patient with metastatic breast cancer. RESULTS: 63 y/o woman with Stage IV Invasive lobular carcinoma at diagnosis was treated with Palbociclib and aromatase inhibitors (AI). At progression, tissue was sent for comprehensive genomic profiling to Foundation Medicine (FM) which revealed AKT1E17K mutation. In lieu of available clinical data within the patient's tumor type (HR+ HER2- breast cancer), extrapolated data from the Flatiron Health-FM (FH-FMI) Clinico-genomic Database (CGDB) was discussed at our Molecular Tumor Board (MTB). After multidisciplinary discussion, the consensus recommendation was to start treatment with the combination of mTOR inhibitor everolimus, and AI, exemestane. Patient tolerated treatment without major side effects. By the second clinical visit the patient's breast showed signs of improvement. PET/CT showed diminished left axillary uptake, decreased right paratracheal lymph node PET avidity, and stable bone disease consistent with a partial response. The most recent office visit in January 2021, breast exam revealed a normal-appearing skin with only faint erythema. All other skin lesions have resolved. Although, the role of AKT1 variant described here is not well defined and therapeutic significance of M-Tor inhibitors not established in metastatic breast cancers, comprehensive approach to this case unraveled new and successful therapeutic option in this patient. CONCLUSION: This demonstrates that applying available Precision Medicine tools like MTB and real world data sets from patient populations with similar clinical and genomic profiles may provide more options for treatment.
