584 Background: Tumor genomic profiling has become critical in the identification of targeted therapeutic options for patients (pts) with advanced malignancies. Mutational frequencies and their therapeutic importance vary among tumor types. This analysis was undertaken to characterize the landscape of genomic alterations in gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies found in a large academic institutional practice, and to determine the frequency of alteration-specific targeted therapy selection based on genomic profiling. Methods: Adult pts with GI malignancies presenting to the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center oncology clinics were offered next generation sequencing through FoundationOne testing as part of routine clinical care. Institutional review board approval was obtained to retrospectively analyze results from FoundationOne testing performed between 2012 and 2015. Results: 265 pts with GI malignancies underwent successful genomic profiling. 1205 genomic alterations were found, with an average of 4.5 per tumor (range 0-20); 365 (30%) of these were potentially actionable and most often found in colorectal or gastroesophageal tumors. 14 pts (5.3%) had actionable alterations in MET, CDKN2A/B, FGFR2, KRAS, BRAF, or NF2 that led to enrollment in genotype-directed clinical trials or off label use of targeted therapies beyond standard of care. Pt performance status at the time of genomic alteration identification was a significant factor in precluding genotype-directed therapy. One variant of unknown significance involving FGFR2 identified at initial testing subsequently became actionable and led to pt enrollment on a clinical trial. One pt with rectal cancer was found to have a KRAS wild-type and BRAF mutant primary but KRAS mutant and BRAF wild-type liver metastasis. Conclusions: Genomic profiling of GI malignancies through next generation sequencing is feasible and can lead to genotype-directed therapy selection; however, it should be considered early in the pt’s course to optimize use of targeted therapies through clinical trials. Consideration should be given to serial tumor testing to identify emerging genomic alterations for optimal therapy selection.

Abstract BACKGROUND The development of next generation sequencing (NGS) based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has enabled identification of druggable somatic mutations in brain tumours. This cohort reviewed the efficacy of CGP-guided precision treatment in a tertiary neuro-oncology centre. METHODOLOGY From May 2017 to May 2020, CGP were arranged for 43 patients. All patients had exhausted conventional treatments or received CGP for clinical trial screening. Targeted deep NGS was used to assess the mutational status, single nucleotide variant, small insertions and deletions and copy number variant of 440 cancer-related genes. RESULTS The diagnoses of the 43 patients were GBM (n=23), high grade glioma (n=11), brain metastases (n=4), chordoma (n=3), atypical choroid plexus papilloma (n=1) and meningioma (n=1). In most of the patients (42/43, 97.7%), CGP identified at least one druggable targets with a median of 3. Based on the CGP, 27 patients received precision treatment (62.7%). Among these, 14 were GBM and 6 were other high grade glioma. Treatment given included PARP inhibitors, immunotherapy, multi-kinase inhibitor, selective CDK4/6 inhibitor and mTOR inhibitor. Clinical benefit was achieved in 20 patients out of 27 (74%), including 2 complete response (7.4%), 9 partial response (33.3%) and 9 stable disease (33.3%). The median progression free survival (PFS) were 183 days [95% confident intervals (CI): 81–302 days]. For GBM/high grade glioma patients, median PFS was 125 days [95% CI: 52–215] and six-month PFS was 32.7%. Treatment toxicity was mild except two patients developed grade 3 complications and one grade 5 complication (fatal neutropenic fever). For the 16 patients who did not receive precision treatment, one had no druggable target identified, nine were still stable on standard therapies, 6 were too weak when CGP was available. CONCLUSION CGP guided precision treatment for selected, advanced neuro-oncological patients yielded modest clinical efficacy and satisfactory safety profile in real world setting.

AimsAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) carries a poor prognosis and current systemic cytotoxic therapies result in only modest improvement in overall survival. In this retrospective study, we performed a comprehensive genomic profiling of 29 consecutive ACC samples to identify potential targets of therapy not currently searched for in routine clinical practice.MethodsDNA from 29 ACC was sequenced to high, uniform coverage (Illumina HiSeq) and analysed for genomic alterations (GAs).ResultsAt least one GA was found in 22 (76%) ACC (mean 2.6 alterations per ACC). The most frequent GAs were in TP53 (34%), NF1 (14%), CDKN2A (14%), MEN1 (14%), CTNNB1 (10%) and ATM (10%). APC, CCND2, CDK4, DAXX, DNMT3A, KDM5C, LRP1B, MSH2 and RB1 were each altered in two cases (7%) and EGFR, ERBB4, KRAS, MDM2, NRAS, PDGFRB, PIK3CA, PTEN and PTCH1 were each altered in a single case (3%). In 17 (59%) of ACC, at least one GA was associated with an available therapeutic or a mechanism-based clinical trial.ConclusionsNext-generation sequencing can discover targets of therapy for relapsed and metastatic ACC and shows promise to improve outcomes for this aggressive form of cancer.
