574 Background: Metastatic appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AAC) is a heterogenous disease and the majority of patients present with diffuse metastases in the peritoneal cavity. Cytotoxic and targeted therapies are typically extrapolated from colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), however, it is not known whether this is effective or not. Herein we investigated the genetic profiles of these tumors in an effort to identify molecular characteristics and potentially actionable mutations, as well as the response to anti-EGFR therapy in RAS/BRAF wild type (wt) AAC. Methods: We identified patients (pts) with ACC treated at MSKCC who had tumor who had undergone molecular profiling, either by next generation sequencing using our MSK-IMPACT platform, or by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy genotyping (Sequenom). MSK-IMPACT tumors and matched normal samples were analyzed either on 410 gene panel. Sequenom (provided an 8 gene panel including KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA). Via an IRB approved waiver, we collected tumor histology and evaluated pts who were RAS/RAF wt and had been treated with anti-EGFR therapy. Results: We identified a total 97 AAC pts, of whom 60 had Sequenom testing and 37 had IMPACT. Among pts analyzed with IMPACT, 24 had mucinous adenocarcinoma, 3 adenocarcinoma with signet ring, 7 adenocarcinoma ex goblet cell carcinoid, 3 invasive adenocarcinoma. In total 159 alterations were identified with a median 4.2 alterations/patient (range 0-10). Alterations were seen most commonly in KRAS (21/37), GNAS (12/37), TP53 (10/37), SOX9 (5/37), and SMAD4 (4/37). Potentially treatable alterations were present in 15% of patients and included BRAF V600E (1), MTOR (2), ERBB2 (1) and NTRK(2). Of the total 97 pts, 50 (52%) were RAS/BRAF wt. Of those,13 evaluable patients received anti-EGFR therapy with either panitumumab or cetuximab. There were no responders. Conclusions: Mutational sequencing in AAC indicates that 16% have mutations in genes such as BRAFV600E, MTOR, ERBB2 and NTRK with the potential to expand investigational options through increased access to trials of selectively targeted agents. Additionally, in RAS/BRAF wt pts, panitumumab/cetuximab does not appear to have therapeutic efficacy comparable to historic controls in RAS/RAF wt CRC.

606 Background: Colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) has been shown to be associated with advanced tumor stage at presentation and worse outcomes. Due to the rarity of this subtype, 1% of all colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), little is known about its molecular characteristics. We aimed to characterize the molecular alterations of this subgroup. Methods: Metastatic CRC (mCRC) patients (pts) with signet ring cell (SC) histology who had tumors evaluated with next generation sequencing between February 2009 and November 2015 were reviewed. SC mCRC were classified into 2 groups; SRCC (>50% of signet cells) and adenocarcinoma (AC) with SC component. Genomic alterations, microsatellite instability (MSI) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) status noted in SC mCRC were compared to non-SC mCRC pts from the Assessment of Targeted Therapies Against Colorectal Cancer program at MD Anderson Cancer Center using Pearson’s χ 2 test. Results: A total of 665 mCRC pts were included in this study. 93 pts (14%) had SC histology of which 30 (32.3%) pts were SRCC. The Table below shows key cancer genes mutation frequencies. Conclusions: Colorectal SRCC has distinct molecular features compared with non-SC and AC with SC component CRC. The frequencies of KRAS, PIK3CA and APC mutations were lower than the frequencies reported in non-SC CRC. SRCC was not associated with MSI-H or CIMP-H tumor in this study. Further studies on identification of activated pathways underlying this worse prognosis and potential therapeutic targets are required. [Table: see text]

Worse Prognosis

3579 Background: BRAFV600E ( BRAF) mutations (mts) portend poor prognosis in mCRC and patients (pts) may die before ascertainment. Since 2014, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) has performed reflex hereditary screening of CRCs with BRAF and mismatch repair (MMR) immunohistochemistry (IHC). We evaluated this BRAF mt population-based cohort ( BRAFPOP) to establish the true prognosis of BRAF mts in mCRC. Methods: We reviewed all mCRCs from VCH between 4/2014 and 5/2018 for BRAF by IHC (VE1 antibody). Overall survival (OS) from stage IV diagnosis was compared to mCRCs with next generation sequencing (NGS) determined BRAF mts ( BRAFNGS) from BC Cancer & MD Anderson. BRAFNGS OS did not differ by center (p = 0.77). Results: See table for BRAF cohort baseline characteristic comparison. BRAFPOP pts had worse OS than BRAFNGS pts (HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.6 – 3.9, P < 0.0001). Median OS for all BRAF mt pts was 17.9 mos. Both groups had worse OS than wild type pts (P < 0.0001). 52 (81%) of BRAFPOP pts were referred to oncology, 40 (63%) received chemotherapy, and 12 (19%) had NGS BRAF testing. BRAFPOP pts who had NGS testing with BRAF mts had OS comparable to other BRAFNGS pts (P = 0.89) and better OS than BRAFPOP pts that never had NGS testing (HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18-0.76, P = 0.030). Pts with BRAF mts and MMR deficiency (dMMR) (n = 40) had worse OS than MMR proficiency (pMMR, n = 202) (1.6, 95% CI 1.0-2.5, P = 0.011). This was driven by BRAFPOP dMMR pts (HR 1.9, 95% CI 0.9-4.0, P = 0.036) as no difference was seen by MMR in BRAFNGS pts (HR 1.3, 95% CI 0.8-2.2, P = 0.30). Conclusions: Current estimates of prognosis for mCRC with BRAF mts likely underestimate its impact due to referral bias for NGS testing. BRAF mts with dMMR are associated with worse prognosis than pMMR. This appears driven by BRAFPOP pts. [Table: see text]

223 Background: Somatic mutations at adenomatous polyposis coli ( APC) gene, found in ~75% of colorectal cancers (CRC), are under-represented in microsatellite instable (MSI-H) tumors. While several studies have suggested worse outcomes for CRC patients (pts) with wild-type APC ( APC-WT), the prognostic implication of this genomic alteration in metastatic CRC (mCRC) is not well defined. Methods: APC prognostic value was evaluated in 331 stage IV microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC pts treated in our institution. Next-generation genomic analysis (FoundationOne) was used to characterize the molecular characteristics of APC-WT and mutant APC ( APC-MT) pts. Findings were validated on a public database of stage IV colon cancer from MSKCC. Results: APC-WT was present in 26% of mCRC patients. In comparison to APC-MT population (n = 244), APC-WT pts (n = 87) tended to be younger (median age: 49 vs. 58 years), right-sided (44% vs. 24%), BRAF-V600E mutated (25% vs. 5%), p53 WT (38% vs. 21%) and RAS WT (66% vs. 53%). APC-WT tumors were associated with other Wnt activating alterations ( CTNNB1, FBXW7, RNF43, ARID1A and SOX9). Among those, RNF43 and CTNNB1 were more significantly represented in the APC-WT vs APC-MT population (12% vs 1% and 11% vs 3%, respectively). APC-WT pts had a worse overall survival (OS) than APC-MT pts (30 vs 48 months, HR = 1.809, 95% CI 1.260-2.596, p < 0.0001). Using a multivariate model correcting for primary tumor location, RAS and BRAF status, APC-WT was predictive of poor survival (HR = 1.7, p = 0.001) in our data set. The prognostic implication of APC-WT on OS were confirmed further in a similar multivariate model of 433 stage IV pts from MSKCC public database (HR = 1.6, P = 0.01). Conclusions: APC-WT is associated with poor OS in MSS mCRC regardless of RAS, BRAF status. Compared with APC-MT mCRC tumors, APC-WT tumors were associated with other activating alterations of Wnt pathway, including RNF43 and CTNBB1.

e15255 Background: Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has been confirmed to predict the sensitivity to immunotherapy across multiple tumor types. Multiple genetic factors have been confirmed to increase the level of TMB, such as mutations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, POLE/POLD1, and high microsatellite instability (MSI). However, the extent that these factors contribute to hypermutation in lung cancer has not been fully investigated. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the genetic profiles of 1000 lung cancer patients (pts) who underwent 1021-panel matched tumor-normal next-generation sequencing using tumor tissue samples and peripheral blood. Their TMB status were analyzed to determine the threshold of hypermutation. The clinicopathological characteristics, genetic profiles and genetic factors related to hypermutation were investigated for the pts in hypermutant cohort. Results: The threshold of hypermutation was determined as 19 muts/MB (top 5% in 1000 pts). As a result, 53 pts were included in the hypermutant cohort. A total of 1725 nonsynonymous somatic variants in 506 genes were identified. The most frequently mutated genes included TP53 (88.7%), LRP1B (71.7%), MLL2 (35.8%), EPHA5 (34.0%), and FAT1 (34.0%). KRAS was mutated in 17% pts, whereas mutations in EGFR, BRAF, ERBB2, MET were identified less commonly. MSI-high was observed in 5 cases. A germline mutation in BRCA1 gene was identified in an adenocarcinoma patient. Compared to genetic profiles of non-small cell lung cancer from TCGA database, mutations in multiple DDR genes were enriched in the hypermutant cohort (Table). No known driver mutation in POLE/POLD1 was identified. Conclusions: MSI-high and mutations in DDR genes may be associated with high level of TMB, whereas POLE/POLD1 driver mutations may not be related to hypermutant lung cancer. Hypermutant lung cancer displays distinctive molecular features that may be used as complementary indicators to screening pts sensitive to immunotherapy. [Table: see text]

605 Background: Advanced relapsed colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) is emerging as a cancer not with a singular phenotype but rather as a multitude of ‘diseases’ subdivided based on its molecular genotype. Given the heterogeneity in outcomes of CRC patients on targeted therapy clinical trials, we sought to identify a unique molecular subset within this disease. Methods: To that end, we identified advanced CRC patients in our Phase I clinic on whom adequate tissue was available for next generation sequencing (NGS) on a commercially available platform (FoundationOne, Boston, MA). Over 2000 exons of 186 cancer-related genes plus over 30 introns from 14 genes often rearranged in cancer were fully sequenced for point mutations, insertions/deletions, copy number alterations (CNAs) and select gene fusions. Results: We identified 51 patients with advanced relapsed CRC (26 male, 25 female; median age 54 years; 49 colonic primary lesion, 4 rectum primary). Overall, 44 (86%) harbored a mutation linked to aberrant Wnt pathway signaling (most commonly, APC 40 pts, 78%). Of these 44 patients, half (n=22, 50%) had ≥1 concurrent mutation affecting the PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway, most commonly PIK3CA in 11 patients (4 E545K, 3 Q546K, 2 E542K, 1 H1047Y, 1 E453K). Furthermore, 20 of these 22 pts with both Wnt and PI3K pathway mutations also demonstrated a concomitant MAPK pathway abnormality, most commonly KRAS (n=16) and 3 BRAF (V600E, G466R, D594G). Overall 20 of 51 (39%) patients had coexisting mutations implicated in all three signaling pathways (Wnt, PI3K, and MAPK). Conclusions: Three prominent pathways linked to the continuum of development and progression of cancer (Wnt, MAPK, PI3K) occur frequently in concurrence in patients with advanced CRC, thereby highlighting the role for an innovative therapeutic combination targeting all three pathways.

Primary signet ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid is a rare ocular malignancy and its diagnosis is often delayed. This neoplasm presents as an insidious, diffusely infiltrative mass in the periocular area that later infiltrates the orbit. An exenteration is usually indicated; however, nearly one-third of patients develop local recurrence or metastasis. Morphologically, it resembles signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach and breast, raising the possibility of mutations in CDH1, the gene encoding E-cadherin. To determine whether primary signet ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma harbors the CDH1 mutation or other actionable mutations, we analyzed the tumor tissue via next-generation sequencing. We identified only one case of primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the eyelid with adequate DNA quality for sequencing from the pathological archive during the period 2000 to 2020. A comprehensive evaluation including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and next-generation sequencing assay was performed on tumor tissue. Immunohistochemically, the tumor exhibited E-cadherin membranous staining with the aberrant cytoplasmic staining of β-catenin. Using next-generation sequencing, we demonstrated the mutation in the CDH1 gene. In addition, other clinically actionable mutations including ERBB2 and PIK3CA were also detected. The alterations in other actionable genes indicate a need for larger studies to evaluate the pathogenesis and potential therapies for primary signet ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid.

The toolbox for genetic engineering has quickly evolved from CRISPR/Cas9 to a myriad of different gene editors, each with promising properties and enormous clinical potential. However, a major challenge remains: delivering the CRISPR machinery to the nucleus of recipient cells in a nontoxic and efficient manner. In this article, we repurpose an RNA-delivering cell-penetrating peptide, PepFect14 (PF14), to deliver Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (RNP). The RNP-CPP complex achieved high editing rates, e.g., up to 80% in HEK293T cells, while being active at low nanomolar ranges without any apparent signs of toxicity. The editing efficiency was similar to or better compared to the commercially available reagents RNAiMAX and CRISPRMax. The efficiency was thoroughly evaluated in reporter cells and wild-type cells by restriction enzyme digest and next-generation sequencing. Furthermore, the CPP-Cas9-RNP complexes were demonstrated to withstand storage at different conditions, including freeze-thaw cycles and freeze-drying, without a loss in editing efficiency. This CPP-based delivery strategy complements existing technologies and further opens up new opportunities for Cas9 RNP delivery, which can likely be extended to other gene editors in the future.

Abstract Background Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplastic disease that occurs in both children and adults, and BRAF V600E is detected in up to 64% of the patients. Several studies have discussed the associations between BRAF V600E mutation and clinicopathological manifestations, but no clear conclusions have been drawn regarding the clinical significance of the mutation in pediatric patients. Results We retrieved the clinical information for 148 pediatric LCH patients and investigated the BRAF V600E mutation using next-generation sequencing alone or with droplet digital PCR. The overall positive rate of BRAF V600E was 60/148 (41%). The type of sample (peripheral blood and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue) used for testing was significantly associated with the BRAF V600E mutation status (p-value = 0.000 and 0.000). The risk of recurrence declined in patients who received targeted therapy (p-value = 0.006; hazard ratio 0.164, 95%CI: 0.046 to 0.583). However, no correlation was found between the BRAF V600E status and gender, age, stage, specific organ affected, TP53 mutation status, masses close to the lesion or recurrence. Conclusions This is the largest pediatric LCH study conducted with a Chinese population to date. BRAF V600E in LCH may occur less in East Asian populations than in other ethnic groups, regardless of age. Biopsy tissue is a more sensitive sample for BRAF mutation screening because not all of circulating DNA is tumoral. Approaches with low limit of detection or high sensitivity are recommended for mutation screening to avoid type I and II errors.

57 Background: FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab (BEV) is regarded as the standard of care for selected patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), despite the high incidence of neutropenia and diarrhea. The AXEPT phase III study showed that the modified capecitabine (CAP) + irinotecan (IRI) + BEV (CAPIRI+BEV) [CAP 1600 mg/m2, IRI 200 mg/m2, and BEV 7.5 mg/kg q3wk] treatment was non-inferior to FOLFIRI+BEV, with a lower incidence of hematologic toxicity. We hypothesized that the modified CAPIRI combined with oxaliplatin (OX) and BEV (CAPOXIRI+BEV) would be more feasible than FOLFOXIRI+BEV, without compromising efficacy. Methods: The QUATTRO-II study is an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study. In Step 1, the recommended doses (RD) of OX and IRI were investigated as a safety lead-in. In Step 2, pts are randomized to either the RD of CAPOXIRI+BEV or FOLFOXIRI+BEV. In Step 1, four dose levels of CAPOXIRI (fixed dose of CAP 1600 mg/m2 and BEV 7.5 mg/kg plus escalated or de-escalated doses of OX and IRI, q3wk) were investigated in a 3+3 manner. A dose level of ≤ 2/6 of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) cases was expected as the RD. Results: A total of 9 pts (3 at Level 0, 6 at Level 1) were included in Step 1. The baseline characteristics were as follows: the median age was 62 years; 6 were male; 6 presented with a left-sided tumor; 8 had a performance status of 0; all wild type/ RAS mutant/ BRAF V600E mutant were 8/1/0; and UGT1A1 wild type/*6 single hetero/*28 single hetero were 7/0/2. In Level 0 (IRI 200 mg/m2, OX 100 mg/m2), one grade 4 neutropenia and one grade 3 anorexia were observed, but without DLT. In Level 1 (IRI 200 mg/m2, OX 130 mg/m2), two grade 4 neutropenia and one grade 3 colitis were observed, with 1 DLT (febrile neutropenia) case, fully recovered without G-CSF administration. No treatment-related deaths were observed. Although dose modifications were needed in 4 of the 6 pts, no further safety concerns related to treatment continuity were observed in the 2nd or subsequent cycles. Thus, we determined that the dose administered in Level 1 is the RD for Step 2. According to the preliminary efficacy results at 8 weeks after initiating study treatment, 6 pts achieved a partial response (2 in Level 0 and 4 in Level 1). Conclusions: The RD of CAPOXIRI+BEV was 200 mg/m2 IRI, 130 mg/m2 OX, 1600 mg/m2 CAP, and 7.5mg/kg BEV. The randomized phase II Step (Step 2) of QUATTRO-II is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04097444.
