4080 Background: Genomic studies of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) have identified actionable alterations in multiple genes including IDH1, IDH2, FGFR2 and BRAF, but no targeted therapies have been approved for this indication. Pemigatinib (formerly INCB054828) is a selective FGFR1-3 inhibitor currently being evaluated in multiple tumor types, including advanced CCA harboring FGFR2 rearrangements. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was used to identify and enroll advanced CCA patients with FGFR2 rearrangements into FIGHT-202 (NCT02924376). Here we provide an overview of the genomic landscape of advanced CCA and identify actionable alterations. Methods: CGP was performed on tumor samples from 1104 patients with advanced CCA using FoundationOne, a broad-based genomic panel which identifies mutations, rearrangements, and amplifications in 315 cancer genes. Results: The most frequently altered genes in advanced CCA were TP53 (38.1%), CDKN2A/B (28.8%), KRAS (21.9%), ARID1A (15.7%), SMAD4 (11.3%), BAP1 (10.6%), IDH1 (10.5%), PBRM1 (10.0%), FGFR2 (9.4%), ERBB2 (7.6%), PIK3CA (7.0%), MDM2/ FRS2 (5.8%), and BRAF (4.7%). FGFR2: BAP1 was the most significantly co-occurring alteration pair (odds ratio = 8.5; q-value = 1.08 x 10-13, Fisher’s exact test). 42.9% of patients had at least one alteration for which a targeted agent has been either approved or is under investigation. 91 (8.2%) patients had FGFR2 rearrangements, involving 44 unique partner genes, 37 (84.1%) of which were observed only once. The most prevalent FGFR2 rearrangement partner, BICC1, occurred in only 28 (30.7%) FGFR2 rearrangement positive patients. FGFR2 activating point mutations were found in 13 (1.2%) patients. Of 1,091 evaluable patients for microsatellite instability (MSI) or tumor mutational burden (TMB), only 10 (0.9%) were MSI-H and 13 (1.2%) had high TMB (≥ 20 mutations/megabase). None of the MSI-H or TMB-High patients had FGFR2, IDH1 or IDH2 activating alterations. Conclusions: The high frequency (42.9%) of patients with actionable alterations and myriad FGFR2 rearrangement partners strongly support the use of fusion partner-agnostic CGP in advanced CCA.

e14508 Background: Immunotherapy induces durable responses in a subset of patients with cancer. High TMB may be a response biomarker for PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in tumors such as melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our aim was to examine the relationship between TMB and outcome in diverse cancers treated with various immunotherapies. Methods: We reviewed data on 1,638 patients who had undergone comprehensive genomic profiling and had TMB assessment. Immunotherapy-treated patients (N = 151) were analyzed for response rate (RR), progression-free and overall survival (PFS, OS). Results: Higher TMB was independently associated with better outcome parameters (multivariable analysis). The RR for patients with high (≥ 20 mutations/mb) vs. low to intermediate TMB was 22/38 (58%) vs. 23/113 (20%) (P = 0.0001); median PFS, 12.8 vs. 3.3 months (P = <0.0001); median OS, not reached vs. 16.3 months (P = 0.0036) (Table). Results were similar when anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy was analyzed (N = 102 patients), with a linear correlation between higher TMB and favorable outcome parameters; the median TMB for responders vs. non-responders treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy was 18.0 vs. 5.0 mutations/mb (P < 0.0001). Comparable data was observed when patients with melanoma (N = 52) and NSCLC (N = 36) were excluded (N = 63 patients; 19 tumor types). Interestingly, anti-CTLA4/anti-PD-1 combinations vs. anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy was selected as a factor independent of TMB for predicting better RR (77% vs. 21%) (P = 0.004) and PFS (P = 0.024). Conclusions: Higher TMB predicts favorable outcome to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade across diverse tumors. Benefit from dual checkpoint blockade did not show a similarly strong dependence on TMB.

4533 Background: We performed a CGP to compare the genomic alterations (GA) in ABC, UBC and SCCB. Methods: 143 cases of ACB, 2,142 cases of UCB and 83 cases of SCCB were subjected to CGP using a hybrid-capture based assay. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined on 114 loci. PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC. Results: ABC patients were younger and more often female than UBC and SCCB (P < 0.0001). UBC and SCCB had a higher GA/tumor than ABC (P = 0.01). Un-targetable GA were similar in all 3 groups involving TP53 and KRAS. APC GA were more frequent in ABC whereas TERT, CDKN2A/B and DNA-repair genes ( ARID1A and KDM6A) more frequently altered in UBC and SCCB. Targetable MTOR pathway GA ( PIK3CA, TSC1, PTEN) were more frequent in UBC and SCCB as were targetable kinase alterations ( FGFR3 and ERBB2). The UBC and SCCB had a significantly higher TMB than ABC (P < 0.0001) including mean TMB and TMB > 20 mut/Mb (P < 0.0001). CD274 (PD-L1) was amplified more frequently in SCCB than ACB or UBC (P < 0.0001). MSI high status was very uncommon in all tumor types. Conclusions: Deep sequencing reveals that ABC features a widely different genomic profile from UBC and SCCB. UBC has the highest frequencies of targetable kinase GA and high TMB. SCCB has the highest frequencies of IO efficacy predicting biomarkers including mean TMB and PD-L1 amp. Nonetheless, ABC does feature potential kinase targets such as FGFR3 and ERBB2.

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]

551 Background: Anal melanomas (AM) share histologic features with cutaneous melanomas (CM), are highly aggressive and behave in a distinct clinicopathologic pattern. We performed comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of AM to learn of potential matched targeted and immunotherapies that may improve clinical outcomes for the disease. Methods: FFPE tissues from late stage AM (81 cases) and CM (1804 cases) 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. Results: AM and CM had a similar age, but AM females and CM males were significantly more common (P < 0.0001) (Table). Given the UV light exposure in the CM, the GA/tumor was significantly higher than AM as were the median TMB and frequency of TMB ≥ 10 and 20 mutations/Mb (P < 0.0001 for all comparisons). All AM and CM were MS-stable. The contrast in S FB1 mutations in AM and TERT GA in CM were significant (P < 0.0001). 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 targets including NF1 and PTEN were commonly altered in both tumor types. Potentially targetable PDGFRA and ERBB2 GA were found in AM but not in CM. Conclusions: UV light exposure drives high GA/tumor and TMB in CM, both associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICPI) responsiveness, whereas AM lacks the high TMB and therefore is far less likely to benefit from ICPI treatments. CM is classically associated with opportunities for anti-BRAF therapies and AM with an array of kinase targets including KIT, BRAF, PDGFRA and ERBB2. Finally, MTOR pathway targets are common to both tumor types. [Table: see text]

Patients with clinically advanced paragangliomas (CA-Para) and pheochromocytomas (CA-Pheo) have limited surgical or systemic treatments. We used comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) to compare genomic alterations (GA) in CA-Para and CA-Pheo to identify potential therapeutic targets. Eighty-three CA-Para and 45 CA-Pheo underwent hybrid-capture-based CGP using a targeted panel of 324 genes. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) were determined. The GA/tumor frequencies were low for both tumor types (1.9 GA/tumor for CA-Para, 2.3 GA/tumor for CA-Pheo). The most frequent potentially targetable GA in CA-Para were in FGFR1 (7%, primarily amplifications), NF1, PTEN, NF2, and CDK4 (all 2%) and for CA-Pheo in RET (9%, primarily fusions), NF1 (11%) and FGFR1 (7%). Germline mutations in known cancer predisposition genes were predicted in 13 (30%) of CA-Pheo and 38 (45%) of CA-Para cases, predominantly involving SDHA/B genes. Both CA-Para and CA-Para had low median TMB, low PD-L1 expression levels and none had MSI high status. While similar GA frequency is seen in both CA-Para and CA-Para, germline GA were seen more frequently in CA-Para. Low PD-L1 expression levels and no MSI high status argue against strong potential for novel immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, several important potential therapeutic targets in both CA-Para and CA-Para are identified using CGP.

We have recently described a class of 756 genes that are widely expressed in cancers, but are normally restricted to adult germ cells, referred to as germ cell cancer genes (GC genes). We hypothesized that carcinogenesis involves the reactivation of biomolecular processes and regulatory mechanisms that, under normal circumstances, are restricted to germline development. This would imply that cancer cells share gene expression profiles with primordial germ cells (PGCs). We therefore compared the transcriptomes of human PGCs (hPGCs) and PGC-like cells (PGCLCs) with 17,382 samples from 54 healthy somatic tissues (GTEx) and 11,003 samples from 33 tumor types (TCGA), and identified 672 GC genes, expanding the known GC gene pool by 387 genes (51%). We found that GC genes are expressed in clusters that are often expressed in multiple tumor types. Moreover, the amount of GC gene expression correlates with poor survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. As GC genes specific to the embryonic germline are not expressed in any adult tissue, targeting these in cancer treatment may result in fewer side effects than targeting conventional cancer/testis (CT) or GC genes and may preserve fertility. We anticipate that our extended GC dataset enables improved understanding of tumor development and may provide multiple novel targets for cancer treatment development.

3583 Background: ERBB2 ( HER2) genomic alterations (GA) are evolving therapy taregets in metastatc coorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: Hybrid capture based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on 8874 (9.6%) mCRC including both colonic adenocarcinomas (7587 cases; 85%) and rectal adenocarcinomas (1287 cases, 15%) Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was calculated from a minimum of 1.2 Mb of sequenced DNA. Results: ERBB2 amplifications or a short variant (SV) alterations or both were found in 433 (4.9%) of the total mCRC. 195 (45%) of the ERBB2 positive mCRC were female and 238 (55%) were male. Median age was 54 years (range 22 to 88 years). The most frequently co-altered genes were SV GA in TP53 (82%), APC (70%), KRAS (26%), SMAD4 (15%) and PIK3CA (13%). Clinically relevant GA significantly under-represented in ERBB2-altered CRC included significantly reduced GA in KRAS at 26% (p = 0.001) and BRAF at 4% (p = 0.003) as well as other kinases at 1% including EGFR, KIT, MET and RET. The frequency of TMB at > 10 mut/Mb (p < 0.0001), but at > 20 mut/Mb mCRC cases demonstrated virtually the same results regardless to ERBB2 status at a frequency of x%. The overall ERBB2 GA frequency at 5.3% in rectal mCRC is slightly higher than that seen in colonic mCRC at 4.9%, (p = 0.36). The frequency of TMB > 10 mut/Mb in ERBB2 WT mCRC is greater in the colonic mCRC than the rectal mCRC (p < 0.0001 for both comparisons). When > 20 mut/Mb is used as the cut-off, the greater frequency of TMB in colonic mCRC versus rectal mCRC remains significant (p < 0.0001). When the ERBB2altered mCRC cases are evaluated, the greater frequency of TMB > 10 mu/Mb in colonic mCRC versus rectal mCRC remains significant (p = 0.009), but the greater frequency in colonic verses rectal mCRC at the > 20 mut/Mb is not significant (p = 0.37). Conclusions: Although lower than observed in breast and upper gastrointestinal carcinomas where anti-HER2 therapies are approved indications, the frequency of ERBB2 GA in CRC at 4.9% is significant. Importantly, nearly half of CRC ERBB2 alterations are SVs, not detectable by routine IHC and FISH testing. However, the success of anti-HER2 therapies shown here and progress in on-going clinical trials indicates that targeting ERBB2 has potential to become an approved advance in precision therapy for mCRC patients.

8517 Background: SCLC and L-LCNEC are aggressive neoplasms that are both associated with smoking history and are thought to overlap in clinical, histogenetic, and genomic features. We reviewed the genomic profiles of >1187 patients to assess the genomic similarities of these diseases. Methods: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of tumors from 300 L-LCNEC and 887 SCLC patients in the course of clinical care was performed to suggest pathways to benefit from therapy. Results: Commonly altered genes in both diseases included TP53, RB1, MYC/MYCL1, MLL2, LRP1B and PTEN; alterations in other genes occurred at somewhat differing frequencies (table). For both diseases, RB1 mutation significantly co-occurred with TP53 mutations (p<0.001), but occurred in a mutually exclusive fashion to STK11 and CDKN2A (p<0.001). RB1 was mutually exclusive with KRAS for L-LCNEC but not for SCLC. The interquartile range for SCLC and L-LCNEC TMB is 7.9 and 12.6 with the 75% quartile being 14.4 and 17.1 respectively. Cases of both diseases will be presented with radiographic response to genomically matched targeted therapy and immunotherapy, particularly in cases of high TMB. Conclusions: Given the similar overall genomic profiles and clinical behavior of a subset of these diseases, they could be conceived of as a single disease to be further classified by genomically defined classes such as SCLC-type ( TP53/ RB1mutated) and NSCLC-like (wild type for one or both). By analogy to NSLC and melanoma, benefit from immunotherapy appears most likely for only the upper quartile of cases in TMB. [Table: see text]
