e17543 Background: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is the first phenotypically defined predictive biomarker for Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) in ovarian cancer. However, the proportion of HRD positive in real world and the relationship of HRD status with PARPi in Chinese ovarian cancer patients remains unknown. Methods: A total of sixty-four ovarian cancer patients underwent PARPi, both Olaparib and Niraparib, were enrolled from August 2018 to January 2021 in Jiangsu Institute of Cancer Hospital. HRD score which was the sum of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI) and large-scale state transitions (LST) events were calculated using tumor DNA-based next generation sequencing (NGS) assays. HRD-positive was defined by either BRCA1/2 pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutation or HRD score ≥42. Progression-free survival (PFS) was analyzed with a log-rank test using HRD status and summarized using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Univariate and multiple cox-regression analysis were conducted to investigate all possible clinical factors. Results: 71.9% (46/64) patients were HRD positive and the rest 28.1% (18/64) were HRD negative, which was higher than the HRD positive proportion reported in Western countries. The PFS among HRD positive patients was significantly longer than those HRD negative patients (medium PFS 8.9 m vs 3.6 m, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.22, p < 0.001). Among them, 23 patients who were BRCA wild type but HRD positive had longer PFS than those with BRCA wild type and HRD negative (medium PFS 9.2 m vs 3.6 m, HR: 0.20, p < 0.001). Univariate cox-regression analysis found that HRD status, previous treatment lines, secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) were significantly associated with PFS after PARPi treatment. After multiple regression correction, HRD status (HR: 0.39, 95% CI: [0.20-0.76], p = 0.006), ECOG score (HR: 2.53, 95% CI: [1.24-5.17], p = 0.011) and SCS (HR: 2.21, 95% CI: [1.09-4.48], p = 0.028) were the independent factors. Subgroup analysis in ECOG = 0 subgroup (N = 36), HRD positive patients had significant longer PFS than HRD negative patients (medium PFS 10.3 m vs 5.8 m, HR: 0.14, p < 0.001). Also in the subgroup of patients without SCS, PFS in patients with HRD was longer than patients without HRD (medium PFS 10.2 m vs 5.7 m, HR: 0.29, p = 0.003). Conclusions: This is the first real-world data of HRD status in ovarian cancer patients from China and demonstrate that HRD is a valid biomarker for PARP inhibitors in Chinese ovarian cancer patients.

Homologous recombination deficiency and VEGF expression are key pathways in high-grade ovarian cancer. Recently, three randomized practice changing trials were published: the PAOLA-1, PRIMA and VELIA trials. The use of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) following chemotherapy has become standard of care in first line. Combination of PARPi with anti-angiogenic agents has demonstrated synergistic activity in preclinical study. This review summarizes the body of evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of the combination of PARPi and anti-angiogenic drugs in first-line homologous recombination deficiency high-grade ovarian cancer leading to US FDA and EMA approvals. This double maintenance is supported by: a large benefit with bevacizumab + olaparib compared with olaparib alone, a rationale for additive effect, and a good safety and cost-effective profile.

AbstractTo improve our understanding of the longstanding disparities in incidence and mortality across multiple cancer types among minority populations, we performed a systematic comparative analysis of molecular features in tumors from African American (AA) and European American (EA) ancestry. Our pan-cancer analysis on the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and a more focused analysis of genome-wide somatic copy number profiles integrated with tumor-normal RNA sequencing in a racially balanced cohort of 222 non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) reveals more aggressive genomic characteristics of AA tumors. In general, we find AA tumors exhibit higher genomic instability (GI), homologous recombination-deficiency (HRD) levels, and more aggressive molecular features such as chromothripsis across many cancer types, including lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC). GI and HRD levels are strongly correlated across AA tumors, indicating that HRD plays an important role in GI in these patients. The prevalence of germline HRD is higher in AA tumors, suggesting that the somatic differences observed have genetic ancestry origins. Finally, we identify AA-specific copy number-based arm, focal and gene level recurrent features in lung cancer, including a higher frequency of PTEN deletion and KRAS amplification and a lower frequency of CDKN2A deletion. These results highlight the importance of including minority and under-represented populations in genomics research and may have therapeutic implications.
