Comprehensive Genomic Profiling

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal soft tissue neoplasm often linked to mTOR pathway activation via TSC2 mutation. We analyzed a series of 31 consecutive metastatic PEComa (mPEComa) cases using a combined DNA/RNA hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) assay to assess the genomic landscape of mPEComa. <b><i>Patients and Methods:</i></b> Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks or slides were obtained from tumors from 31 unique patients with mPEC­oma. DNA and RNA were extracted and CGP was performed on 405 genes using a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay in a CLIA-certified lab. <b><i>Results:</i></b> All cases had locally advanced or metastatic disease, and 58% of patients were female with a median age of 50 years (range 8–76), and 17 and 14 specimens were from primary and metastatic sites, respectively. One hundred genomic alterations were identified in the cohort, with an average of 3.2 genomic alterations/case including alterations in <i>TSC2</i> 32.3% of cases (10), <i>TSC1</i> 9.6% (3), <i>TFE3</i> 16.1% (5, all fusions), and folliculin (<i>FLCN</i>) 6.4% (2), with all occurring in mutually exclusive fashion. Of <i>TSC2</i> mutant cases, 70% had biallelic inactivation of this locus, as were 100% of <i>TSC1</i> mutant cases. Two <i>TSC1/2</i> wildtype cases harbored truncating mutations in <i>FLCN</i>, both of which were under LOH. Five <i>TFE3</i> fusion cases were identified including the novel 5′ fusion partner <i>ZC3H4</i>. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> We describe for the first time mPEComa cases with <i>FLCN</i> mutations under LOH, further characterizing dysregulation of the mTOR pathway as a unifying theme in mPEC­oma. Cumulatively, we demonstrate the feasibility and potential utility of segregating mPEComa by <i>TSC</i>, <i>TFE3</i>, and <i>FLCN</i> status via CGP in clinical care.

187 Background: Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate (NCAP) is an aggressive high grade malignancy that often presents as metastatic disease. Current treatments of this tumor have only modest benefit leading investigators to query whether comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) would have potential to discover novel targets of therapy. Methods: DNA was extracted from 40 microns of FFPE sections from 37 consecutive cases of relapsed/metastatic NCAP. CGP was performed on hybridization-captured, adaptor ligation based libraries to a mean coverage depth of 583X for up to 315 cancer-related genes plus 37 introns from 14 genes frequently rearranged in cancer. Genomic alterations (GA) included base substitutions (SUB), INDELs, copy number alterations (CNA) and fusions/rearrangements. Clinically relevant GA (CRGA) were defined as GA linked to drugs on the market or under evaluation in mechanism driven clinical trials. Results: The median age of the men in this study was 65.1 years (range 43 to 83 years). All (100%) cases were positive for neuroendocrine markers on immunohistochemical staining and were Stage IV at the time of CGP. Samples used for sequencing were obtained from the primary tumor in 9 (24%) of NCAP and from metastatic sites in 28 (76%) of NCAP (12 liver, 6 LN, 2 each from bladder, pelvis and soft tissue, and 1 each from rectum, bone, urethra and ureter. There were 213 total GA (5.8 GA/sample) and 47 CRGA (1.3 CRGA/sample). The most frequent GA were non-CRGA mutations in TP53 (68%) and RB1 (51%). TMPRSS:ERG fusions were identified in 32% of cases whereas AR was altered in 8% (1 mutation and 2 amplifications). The most frequent CRGA involved PTEN (32%), BRCA2 (14%), FGFR1 (5%), PIK3CA (5%) and AKT2 (3%). No alterations in BRAF were identified. Clinical responses to MTOR inhibitors in patients with MTOR pathway alterations will be presented. Conclusions: NCAP has distinctive genomic alterations from classic acinar CAP including reduced frequencies of alterations in TMPRSS:ERG and AR and frequent RB1 mutations. Multiple alterations in the MTOR pathway identified in this infrequent tumor type suggest that these patients may be candidates for MTOR inhibitors and other targeted therapies.

63 Background: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has been used to guide treatment selection in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This study sought to determine if genomic alterations guided treatment and contributed to improved outcomes. Methods: From a single institution, patients (pts) diagnosed with mRCC who had CGP in the course of clinical care were identified. Pts were tested on a CLIAA-certified platform (FoundationOne; Cambridge, MA). Pts who died/initiated hospice within the 30 days after the test was performed or who were lost to follow-up were excluded. Duration of therapy (DOT) was measured as months between first and last day of therapy following CGP test. The Kaplan-Meier method was undertaken to estimate the association of CGP-directed therapy with overall survival (OS). Cox regression was also performed and adjusted for histologic subgroup. Results: A total of 64 patients underwent CGP between February 2014 and August 2018. From this group, 15 patients were excluded due to death/hospice within 30 d (n = 10) and lack of follow-up (n = 5). Median age at diagnosis was 60 years (range, 24-84), and 79% were male. Most patients (69%) were diagnosed with clear cell RCC. The median identified genomic alterations (GAs) was 3 (range, 0-7). The most common GAs were VHL (54%), PBRM1 (28%), TERT (21%), TP53 (15%), BAP1 (13%), and SETD2 (13%). Of the 49 patients included in this analysis, 47% had actionable mutations based on their CGP results. Of those, 13 patients received directed-therapy of whom 57% had stable disease, 28% had partial response, and 14% had progressive disease. The median time from CGP test to treatment was 1 month (range, 0-17). The median duration of directed-therapy was 12 months (range, 1-28) and of non-directed therapy was 4 months (range, 1-40) (P = 0.04). Directed-therapy was significantly associated with better OS (adjusted HR, 0.32 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.82]; P = 0.018) compared to non-directed therapy. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence to justify CGP-guided therapy in mRCC. Forthcoming studies should prospectively explore the use of CGP in treatment allocation for mRCC to validate these findings.

9566 Background: We performed a comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) study of AM and CM to learn of potential genomic alterations (GA) linked to targeted and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICPI) therapies. Methods: 90 AM and 1804 CM FFPE tissues from late stage 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. Results: AM and CM had a similar age, but AM females and CM males were significantly more common (P < 0.0001). GA/tumor was significantly higher in CM (UV light exposure) as were the median TMB and frequency of TMB ≥ 10 and 20 mutations/Mb (P < 0.0001 for all comparisons). PD-L1 expression was higher in AM than CM (P = 0.0023). AM and CM were all MS-stable. The contrast in S FB1 mutations in AM and TERT GA in CM were significant (P < 0.0001). Of potentially targetable GA, AM featured significantly more KIT GA than CM (P < 0.0001), whereas CM featured significantly more BRAF GA (P < 0.0001). Only 11% of AM BRAF GA were V600E whereas 74% of CM BRAF GA were V600E (P < 0.0001). MTOR pathway GA were common in both tumor types. Additional potentially targetable alterations in PDGFRA and ERBB2 kinases were seen in AM but not in CM. Conclusions: CM is distinct from AM featuring higher GA/tumor, higher TMB and frequent BRAF V600E GA that predict benefit from ICPI and anti-BRAF therapies. Although both AM and CM feature MTOR pathway targets, AM does have higher PD-L1 expression than CM and is characterized by an array of potentially targetable kinase genes including KIT, PDGFRA, ERBB2 and to a lesser extent than CM, BRAF.[Table: see text]

570 Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor- (VEGF-) and mammalian target of rapamycin- (mTOR-) directed therapies represent a standard of care in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, these agents are not employed based on an assessment of predictive biomarkers such as genomic alterations (GA). We sought to determine if an association exists between GA detected by comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and the response to VEGFR and mTOR pathway targeted therapies in a cohort of mRCC treated in a clinical practice setting. Methods: The results of CGP performed in the course of clinical care on 31 consecutive mRCC obtained from patients who had received VEGFR- and/or mTOR-inhibitors were reviewed. Duration of treatment (DOT), extent and duration of clinical response was obtained from review of medical records. All classes of genomic alterations - base substitutions, short insertions, deletions, gene fusions, rearrangements and copy number - were assessed via CGP. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the frequency of GAs in groups segregated by the DOT with VEGF-directed agents. Results: The most common GAs detected in this series were in VHL (70%), PBRM1 (48%), SETD2 (32%), TSC1 (29%), MLL (19%), TERT (16%), ARID1B (16%) and KDM5C (16%). Across 61 administrations of VEGF-directed therapy in 27 patients, exceptional responses (DOT > 21 months) were more frequent amongst patients with GAs in KDM5C, PBRM1, and VHL. Conversely, these patients also featured a lower frequency of GA associated with response to mTOR-directed therapy, such as TSC1. Conclusions: Multiple GAs are more prevalent in exceptional responders to VEGF-directed therapy. Prospective validation of these findings may lead to use of CGP to optimize therapeutic selection.

After failure of anthracycline- and platinum-based therapy, no effective therapies exist for management of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We report a case of metastatic TNBC harboring MCL1 amplification, as identified by comprehensive genomic profiling in the course of clinical care. MCL1 is an antiapoptotic gene in the BCL2 family, and MCL1 amplification is common in TNBC (at least 20%). A personalized dose-reduced regimen centered on a combination of sorafenib and vorinostat was implemented, based on preclinical evidence demonstrating treatment synergy in the setting of MCL1 amplification. Although hospice care was being considered before treatment initiation, the personalized regimen yielded 6 additional months of life for this patient. Further rigorous studies are needed to confirm that this regimen or derivatives thereof can benefit the MCL1-amplified subset of TNBC patients.

PURPOSE Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of sarcomas is rapidly being integrated into routine clinical care to help refine diagnosis and prognosis and determine treatment. However, little is known about barriers to successful CGP or its clinical utility in sarcoma. We set out to determine whether CGP alters physician treatment decision-making, and whether sarcoma subtypes influence the frequency of successful technical performance of CGP. METHODS A single-institution study evaluated profiling outcomes of 392 samples from patients with sarcoma, using a commercially available CGP panel. Of this group, 34 patients were evaluated prospectively (Decision Impact Trial) to evaluate the utility of CGP in physician decision-making. All cases were retrospectively analyzed to identify causes of CGP failure. RESULTS CGP successfully interrogated 75.3% (n = 295 of 392) of patients with sarcoma. Bone sarcomas had lower passing rates at 65.3% (n = 32 of 49) compared with soft tissue sarcomas at 76.7% (n = 263 of 343; P = .0008). Biopsy location also correlated with profiling efficiency. Bone biopsy specimens had a 52.8% (n = 19 of 36) passing rate versus lung (61.1%; n = 33 of 54) and abdomen (80.1%; n = 109 of 136) specimens. CGP altered physician treatment selection in 25% of evaluable patients (n = 7 of 28) and was associated with improved progression-free survival. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the largest technical evaluation of the performance of CGP in sarcoma. CGP was effectively performed in the vast majority of sarcoma samples and altered physician treatment selection. Tumor location and tissue subtype were key determinants of profiling success and associated with preanalytic variables that affect DNA and RNA quality. These results support standardized biopsy collection protocols to improve profiling outcomes.
