Tumor Mutational Burden

The emergence of cancer immunotherapy has already shown some remarkable results, having changed the treatment strategy in clinical practice for solid tumors. Despite these promising long-term responses, patients seem to lack the ability to respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors, thus demonstrating a primary resistance to immunotherapy. Moreover, a significant number of patients who initially respond to treatment eventually acquire resistance to immunotherapy. Both resistance mechanisms are a result of a complex interaction among different molecules, pathways, and cellular processes. Several resistance mechanisms, such as tumor microenvironment modification, autophagy, genetic and epigenetic alterations, tumor mutational burden, neo-antigens, and modulation of gut microbiota have already been identified, while more continue to be uncovered. In this review, we discuss the latest milestones in the field of immunotherapy, resistance mechanisms against this type of therapy as well as putative therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance in solid tumors.

Tumor Mutational Burden

PURPOSE CALGB/SWOG 80405 was a randomized phase III trial that found no statistically significant difference in overall survival (OS) in patients with first-line metastatic colorectal cancer treated with chemotherapy plus either bevacizumab or cetuximab. Primary tumor DNA from 843 patients has been used to discover genetic markers of OS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Gene mutations were determined by polymerase chain reaction. Microsatellite status was determined by genotyping of microsatellites. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined by next-generation sequencing. Cox proportional hazard models were used, with adjusting factors. Interaction of molecular alterations with either the bevacizumab or the cetuximab arms was tested. RESULTS Patients with high TMB in their tumors had longer OS than did patients with low TMB (hazard ratio [HR], 0.73 [95% CI, 0.57 to 0.95]; P = .02). In patients with microsatellite instability–high (MSI-H) tumors, longer OS was observed in the bevacizumab arm than in the cetuximab arm (HR, 0.13 [95% CI, 0.06 to 0.30]; interaction P < .001 for interaction between microsatellite status and the two arms). Patients with BRAF mutant tumors had shorter OS than did patients with wild-type (WT) tumors (HR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.49 to 2.71]; P < .001). Patients with extended RAS mutant tumors had shorter OS than did patients with WT tumors (HR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.26 to 1.84]; P < .001). Patients with triple-negative tumors (WT for NRAS/ KRAS/ BRAF) had a median OS of 35.9 months (95% CI, 33.0 to 38.8 months) versus 22.2 months (95% CI, 19.6 to 24.4 months ) in patients with at least one mutated gene in their tumors ( P < .001). CONCLUSION In patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated in first line, low TMB, and BRAF and RAS mutations are negative prognostic factors. Patients with MSI-H tumors benefited more from bevacizumab than from cetuximab, and studies to confirm this effect of MSI-H are warranted.

757 Background: Pancreas ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) has a 5-year survival rate of 6% with a need for new therapeutic options. The approval of pembrolizumab for some gastrointestinal cancers shows the potential of immunotherapy (IMT) in PDA. We evaluated the IMT-associated biomarkers of PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI) and PD-L1 amplification in PDAs. Methods: 746 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples were evaluated for PD-L1 IHC using the Dako 22C3 pharmDx assay and scored using tumor proportion score (TPS). The cases had comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) via DNA sequencing, using a hybrid-capture next-generation sequencing assay (FoundationOne and FoundationOneCDx) for genomic alterations (GAs), TMB, and MSI. Results: PD-L1 was positive (TPS ≥ 1%) in 29% (214/746) and negative in 71% (532/746). 43/214 (20%) of positive cases were high positive (TPS ≥ 50%). TMB (590 cases) had a mean of 3.20, 3.46, and 3.61 mutations/Mb for PD-L1 negative, positive, and high positive groups. 3 hypermutated (TMB ≥ 20) were negative for PD-L1 expression. 3/581 cases were MSI-high with a high TMB score (average 23.53 mutations/Mb). 2 MSI-high cases were negative for PD-L1 and 1 was high positive. PD-L1 amplification was not detected (0/746). Only BCOR was significantly different between PD-L1 high positive and PD-L1 negative tumors (Table). Conclusions: Of 729 PDA cases, 29% were positive (TPS ≥ 1%) for PD-L1 expression while only 6% of all cases showed a high level of PD-L1 expression on tumor cells. TMB high (3/729) and MSI-High (3/729) cases were rare. Only 2 of the TMB high cases were also MSI-high. PD-L1 amplification was not detected. Comparing GAs in PD-L1 high positive vs negative cases was only significantly different for BCOR. Further investigation is needed to see if a combined positive score of PD-L1 expression may identify a subset of patients with PDA who are more likely to respond to IMT. [Table: see text]

426 Background: UrthCa is an uncommon GU malignancy that can progress to advanced metastatic disease. Methods: 126 metastatic UrthCa underwent hybrid-capture based CGP to evaluate all classes of genomic alterations (GA). Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on up to 1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined on 114 loci. PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC (Dako 22C3). Results: 49 (39%) urothelial (UrthUC), 31 (24%) squamous (UrthSCC), 34 (27%) adenocarcinomas (UrthAC) and 12 (9%) clear cell (UrthCC) were evaluated. UrthUC and UrthSCC were more common in men; UrthAC and UrthCC more common in women. Ages were similar in all groups. GA in PIK3CA were the most frequent potentially targetable GA; mTOR pathway GA in PTEN also identified. GA in other potentially targetable genes were also identified including ERBB2 (6% in UrthUC, 3% in UrthSCC and 12% in UrthAC), FGFR1-3 (3% in UrthSCC), BRAF (3% in UrthAC), PTCH1 (8% in UrthCC) and MET (8% in UrthCC). Possibly reflecting their higher GA/tumor status, potential for immunotherapy benefit associated with higher TMB and PD-L1 staining levels were seen in UrthUC and UrthSCC compared to UrthAC and UrthCC. MSI high status was absent throughout. Conclusions: CGP reveals GA that may be predictive of both targeted and immunotherapy benefit in patients with advanced UrthCa and that could potentially be used in future adjuvant, neoadjuvant and metastatic disease trials.[Table: see text]
