Abstract Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with an unfavorable prognosis. Despite the poor prognosis in the majority of patients, no improvements in treatment strategies have been achieved, largely due to the rarity of these tumors. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic biomarkers that could guide and improve the management of patients with ACC is of enormous interest. Sterol-O-Acyl Transferase 1 (SOAT1) is involved in cholesterol esterification in adrenocortical cells. Recently, it was demonstrated that SOAT1 inhibition leads to impaired steroidogenesis and cell viability in ACC [1]. There are no studies so far addressing the impact of SOAT1 protein expression in ACC prognosis and clinical outcomes. Methods: We evaluated SOAT1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (ab39327; 1:4000; Abcam, EUA) in a tissue microarray of 107 adrenocortical carcinomas (Weiss score ≥ 3) from adult patients treated in a single tertiary center in Brazil. Immunohistochemistry results were evaluated through a semiquantitative approach by two independent pathologists. We aimed to evaluate the correlation of SOAT1 protein expression with clinical and biochemical parameters, surgical specimen histological characteristics, recurrence free-survival, progression free-survival and overall survival. Results: SOAT1 protein expression was heterogenous in this cohort; 38% of ACCs demonstrated strong SOAT1 protein expression while 62% demonstrated weak or absent SOAT1 protein expression. Strong SOAT1 protein expression correlates with known features of high aggressiveness in ACC, such as excessive tumor cortisol secretion (p= 0.007), advanced disease stage [ENSAT 3 and ENSAT 4 (p= 0.009)] and high Ki67 index (0.008). On multivariate analysis, strong SOAT1 protein expression was an independent predictor of lower overall survival (HR 1.71, CI 95% 1.05-2.92; p= 0.04) when considering all cases (n= 107) and of lower progression free survival (HR 3.05, CI 95% 1.05-8.85; p= 0.04) in patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis (n= 22). Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that SOAT1 protein expression has prognostic value in ACC and reinforce the importance of investigating SOAT1 as a possible therapeutic target for patients with ACC. Multicentric prospective studies including a larger number of patients are needed in order to validate and consolidate the results found in this cohort. References: 1. Sbiera S, Leich E et al.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with an unfavorable prognosis. Despite the poor prognosis in the majority of patients, no improvements in treatment strategies have been achieved. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic biomarkers is of enormous interest. Sterol-O-acyl transferase 1 (SOAT1) is involved in cholesterol esterification and lipid droplet formation. Recently, it was demonstrated that SOAT1 inhibition leads to impaired steroidogenesis and cell viability in ACC. To date, no studies have addressed the impact of SOAT1 expression on ACC prognosis and clinical outcomes. We evaluated SOAT1 expression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray of 112 ACCs (Weiss score ≥ 3) from adults treated in a single tertiary center in Brazil. Two independent pathologists evaluated the immunohistochemistry results through a semiquantitative approach (0–4). We aimed to evaluate the correlation between SOAT1 expression and clinical, biochemical and anatomopathological parameters, recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). SOAT1 protein expression was heterogeneous in this cohort, 37.5% of the ACCs demonstrated a strong SOAT1 protein expression (score > 2), while 62.5% demonstrated a weak or absent protein expression (score ≤ 2). Strong SOAT1 protein expression correlated with features of high aggressiveness in ACC, such as excessive tumor cortisol secretion (p = 0.01), an advanced disease stage [European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors (ENSAT) staging system 3 and 4 (p = 0.011)] and a high Ki67 index (p = 0.002). In multivariate analysis, strong SOAT1 protein expression was an independent predictor of a reduced OS (hazard ratio (HR) 2.15, confidence interval (CI) 95% 1.26–3.66; p = 0.005) in all patients (n = 112), and a reduced RFS (HR 2.1, CI 95% 1.09–4.06; p = 0.027) in patients with localized disease at diagnosis (n = 83). Our findings demonstrated that SOAT1 protein expression has prognostic value in ACC and reinforced the importance of investigating SOAT1 as a possible therapeutic target for patients with ACC.

CD44, a surface marker for cancer stem cells, interacts with PKM2, a key regulator of aerobic glycolysis, and enhances the glycolytic phenotype of cancer cells leading to antioxidant protection and macromolecules’ synthesis. To clarify the clinical importance of this “cross-talk” as a mechanism of drug resistance, we assessed the expression both of PKM2 and of CD44 in cancer cells of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated with platinum-based treatment. One hundred and seventy-one patients with EOC were assessed for PKM2mRNA expression and PKM2 and CD44 proteins detection. Associations with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed with Kaplan–Meier and adjusted Cox regression models. PKM2mRNA and protein as well as CD44 protein were detectable in the majority of patients. Positive correlation between PKM2 and CD44 protein expression was observed (Spearman rho = 0.2, p = 0.015). When we used the median to group patients into high versus low expression, high PKM2mRNA and protein levels were significantly associated with lower progression-free survival (PFS; p = 0.003 and p = 0.002, respectively) and shorter overall survival (OS; p ≤ 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). However, high CD44 protein expression was significantly correlated only with shorter OS (p = 0.004). Moreover, patients with both high PKM2 and CD44 protein levels experienced shorter PFS and OS (p = 0.007 and p = 0.003, respectively) compared to patients with low expression of both proteins. Finally, higher PKM2mRNA and protein expression as well as CD44 protein expression (HR: 2.16; HR: 1.82; HR: 1.01, respectively) were independent prognostic factors for decreased median OS (mOS), whereas only PKM2 protein expression (HR: 1.95) was an independent prognostic factor for decreased median PFS (mPFS). In conclusion, PKM2 expression is a negative prognostic factor in EOC patients, but the interaction between CD44 and PKM2 that may be implicated in EOC platinum-resistance needs further investigation.

Aim: To define the impact of polymorphisms in genes involved in platinum-taxane and estrogen activity in the outcome of platinum-based treated ovarian cancer patients (OCP). Patients & Methods: Two hundred and thirty OCP were analyzed for 124 germ-line polymorphisms to generate a prognostic score for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and platinum-free interval (PFI). Results: ABCG2 rs3219191D>I, UGT1A rs10929302G>A and UGT1A rs2741045T>C polymorphisms were significantly associated with all three parameters (OS, PFS and PFI) and were used to generate a score. Patients in high-risk group had a poorer OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.3–2.7; p = 0.0019), PFS (HR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.4–2.9; p < 0.0001) and PFI (HR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.4–2.8; p = 0.0002) compared with those in low-risk group. Conclusion: The prognostic-score including polymorphisms involved in drug and estrogen pathways stratifies OCP according to OS, PFS and PFI.

Abstract Context Objective response rate to mitotane in advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is approximately 20%, and adverse drug effects are frequent. To date, there is no marker established that predicts treatment response. Mitotane has been shown to inhibit sterol-O-acyl transferase 1 (SOAT1), which leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell death in ACC cells. Objective To investigate SOAT1 protein expression as a marker of treatment response to mitotane. Patients A total of 231 ACC patients treated with single-agent mitotane as adjuvant (n = 158) or advanced disease therapy (n = 73) from 12 ENSAT centers were included. SOAT1 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens. Setting Retrospective study at 12 ACC referral centers. Main outcome measure Recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS). Results Sixty-one of 135 patients (45%) with adjuvant mitotane treatment had recurrences and 45/68 patients (66%) with mitotane treatment for advanced disease had progressive disease. After multivariate adjustment for sex, age, hormone secretion, tumor stage, and Ki67 index, RFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-1.85; P = 0.82), and DSS (HR = 1.30; 95% CI, 0.58-2.93; P = 0.53) in adjuvantly treated ACC patients did not differ significantly between tumors with high and low SOAT1 expression. Similarly, in the advanced stage setting, PFS (HR = 1.34; 95% CI, 0.63-2.84; P = 0.45) and DSS (HR = 0.72; 95% CI, 0.31-1.70; P = 0.45) were comparable and response rates not significantly different. Conclusions SOAT1 expression was not correlated with clinical endpoints RFS, PFS, and DSS in ACC patients with mitotane monotherapy. Other factors appear to be relevant for mitotane treatment response and ACC patient survival.

The Impact

Abstract Non-myeloablative (NST) transplantation is increasingly used in the treatment of patients with AML and MDS who are not candidates for myeloblative transplant. Relapse of disease remains a major cause of treatment failure after NST. Predictive factors to identify patients at high risk of relapse are needed to identify patients who would benefit from additional interventions. Attainment of a high degree of donor engraftment achieved early after transplantation may indicate the presence of a more significant allo-immune effect. We have performed a retrospective analysis of 64 patients with AML and MDS receiving NST, assessing the impact of donor chimerism when measured early after transplantation on outcome. Overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD) were compared for patients achieving ≥90 % or <90% donor derived hematopoiesis when measured 1 month after transplant. All patients received fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day x 4 days and intravenous busulfan (Busulfex)0.8 mg/kg/day x 4 days for conditioning. All patients received calcineurin-inhibitor based GVHD prophylaxis. All patients received PBSC with G-CSF at 5 mcg/kg beginning day 1 after transplantation. Chimerism was measured using FISH for sex mismatched patient donor pairs or by STR analysis. 37 patients had ≥90% donor derived hematopoiesis, 27 patients had <90% donor derived hematopoiesis after transplantation. The two groups had similar characteristics with a median age of 57 yrs (range 21–70) for patients ≥90% and 58 yrs (range 32–69) for patients <90%. Of patients achieving ≥90%, 23 patients had AML and 14 MDS. Of patients <90%, 13 had AML and 14 with MDS. 7 of 16 (44%) patients with early stage disease(AML in CR1 or early stage MDS) achieved ≥90% donor hematopoiesis, while 30 of 48 (63%) patients with advanced disease achieved ≥90%. 17 of 29 (59%) patients with unrelated donors achieved ≥90% donor derived hematopoiesis, while 20 of 33 (61%) patients with matched related donors achieved ≥90% donor derived hematopoiesis. 21 of 32 (66%) patients with donor-recipeint sex mismatch achieved ≥90% while 16 of 32 (50%) patients with same sex donors were ≥90%. The median follow-up for surviving patients achieving ≥90% donor chimerism was 12 months and 15 months for those <90%. Patients achieving ≥90% donor chimerism had a significantly improved 1-year (71% versus 41%) and 2-year (39% versus 19%) OS (p=0.05). Similarly, for patients achieving ≥90% donor chimerism, there was a trend toward an improved PFS at 1-year (49% versus 30%) and 2-years (32% versus 19%) (p=0.08). There was no difference in the risk of developing stage 2–4 acute GVHD, 19% for both patients above and below 90%. Achieving high levels of donor chimerism when measured early after NST predicts for an improved overall survival and there is a trend toward an improved progression free survival. This may represent the presence of an enhanced graft versus leukemia effect in these patients. The degree of donor chimerism does not predict the development of acute GVHD. These results suggest that patients with <90% donor derived hematopoiesis may be candidates for strategies to enhance donor chimerism.

Abstract Advanced age is a relative contraindication to myeloablative allogeneic transplantation due to the increased incidence of treatment related complications seen in older patients. Therefore, non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST) is increasingly utilized in this population. The impact of the shift from myeloablative to NST upon relapse, transplant complications, and outcome has yet to be examined. We performed a retrospective analysis of 152 patients older than age 50 receiving either NST or myeloablative transplantation over a 5 years period. The decision to pursue non-myeloablative as opposed to myeloablative conditioning during this period was based on patient and physician preference. Seventy-one patients received non-myeloablative conditioning, fludarabine (30 mg/m2/day x 4) and intravenous busulfan (0.8 mg/kg/d x 4). Eighty-one patients received myeloablative conditioning, primarily cyclophosphamide and TBI. All patients received pharmacologic prophylaxis to prevent GVHD with the majority of patients receiving FK 506 and methotrexate in both groups (78% NST, 96% myeloablative) with the remainder receiving cyclosporine and prednisone. 93% of NST patients received mobilized PBSC, the median CD34+ cell count infused was 6.4 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg (range 1.0 to 31.0 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg). 80% of myeloablative patients received marrow. The median age was 58 (range 51–70) years for patients receiving NST and 54 (range 51–66) years for patients receiving myeloablative transplantation. Major disease groups included acute leukemia and MDS (51% NST, 41% myeloblative). Ten percent of non-myeloablative transplant patients were in CR1 or had early stage disease at transplantation compared with 40% of myeloablative transplant patients. Primary indications for NST were advanced age (56%) and prior myeloablative transplant (24%). The median follow-up is 18 months (range 6 to 34 months) for patients receiving non-myeloablative transplantation and 46 months (range 3 to 73 months) for patients receiving myeloablative transplantation. NST patients were more likely to have unrelated donors (58% vs. 36%, p=0.009), prior transplant (25% vs. 4%, p=&lt;0.0001), and active disease at transplantation (85% vs. 59%, p=&lt;0.001). Despite the adverse characteristics, overall survival was improved in the NST group at 1 (51% vs. 39%) and 2 (39% vs. 29%) years (p = 0.056). There was no difference in progression free survival (2 year, 27% vs. 25%, p =0.24). Incidence of 2–4 GVHD was similar, (28% vs. 27%). Non-relapse mortality was lower for NST patients (32% vs. 50%, p=0.01), but relapse was higher (46% vs. 30%, p=0.052). A subset analysis was performed assessing overall and progression free survival in patients with advanced leukemia (beyond CR1) and advanced MDS. This demonstrated marginally improved overall survival and progression free survival for patients receiving NST. Our experience suggests that, in patients over age 50, NST with fludarabine and low dose busulfan leads to an overall outcome at least as good as myeloablative therapy.

Abstract Abstract 2676 Purpose Akt is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a central role in cell proliferation and growth. To define clinical impact of Akt expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL), we investigated the expression of phospho-Akt(p-Akt) in DLBCL and analyzed clinical impact of p-Akt expression on patient survival. Methods We evaluated the p-Akt expression in 99 DLBCL patients using tissue microarray(TMA) technology. Results Positive p-Akt expression was observed in 15.2% of the patients and significantly associated with elevated lactic dehydrogenase level (P = .044). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the patients with positive p-Akt expression showed substantially poorer overall survival (p-Akt+ vs p-Akt- 25.3 months [95% confidence interval(CI), 14.4–36.2 months] vs 192.6 months [95% CI, 131.3–253.9 months], P < .001) and progression-free survival (p-Akt+ vs p-Akt- 13.6 months[95% CI, 14.4–36.2 months] vs 134.5 months [95% CI, 131.3–253.9 months], P < .001), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that patients with DLBCL with p-Akt positivity showed poorer overall survival with 3.2 fold (95% CI, 1.6–6.8, P = .002) risk for death compared to patients with DLBCL with p-Akt negativity. Conclusion Positive expression of p-Akt in DLBCL patients is associated with poorer overall and progression-free survival. Expression of p-Akt may act as an independent poor prognostic factor and might be a novel therapeutic target for DLBCL. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

7502 Background: Rituximab (R) prolongs the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) when given either simultaneously with or as maintenance after chemotherapy only. Methods: In the current study the impact of R maintenance after remission induction with an R-containing combined immuno-chemotherapy (R-FCM) was evaluated. Patients with advanced stage relapsed or refractory FL and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) were eligible. The study design comprized 4 courses of chemotherapy with Fludarabine (25 mg/m2/d days 1–3), Cyclophosphamide (200 mg/m2/d days 1–3) and Mitoxantrone (8 mg/m2/d day 1) (FCM) ± Rituximab (375 mg/m2/d day 0). Patients entering a complete (CR) or partial remission (PR) underwent a second randomization for R maintenance (4 weekly doses (375 mg/m2/d) at three and nine months after end of induction) or observation only. Randomization was stratified for histology, prior therapies (up to 2 lines vs. >2), induction (±R), and response (CR vs. PR). After improved outcome of the R-FCM arm had been observed in the initial 147 randomized patients, all subsequent patients received a combined immuno-chemotherapy induction. Results: 176 of 195 randomized cases are evaluable, 138 of whom had received an R-containing induction. In these patients (as well as the total group) the median PFS after end of induction has not been reached in the R-maintenance arm in contrast to 17 months in patients with no further treatment (p = 0.001). This improvement was seen both in FL (n = 81; p = 0,035) and MCL (n = 47; p = 0,049). More importantly, overall survival rate was also improved after R maintenance with borderline significance (3 y rate 82% vs. 55%; p = 0,056). No major sided effects of R maintenance have been observed and the rate of serious infections was similar in both study arms (p = 0.72). Conclusions: The final analysis of this study confirms that R maintenance after combined immuno-chemotherapy (R-FCM) is highly effective and improves the progression-free survival—with a strong trend towards improved overall survival—of patients with relapsed FL and MCL.

e17582 Background: Cabazitaxel is a semi-synthetic derivative of a natural taxoid approved for the treatment of mCRPC patients (pts) after failure to docetaxel. Despite its proven efficacy, there is variability in the response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of pts. Changes in the genetic constitution of the individual such as the SNPs could explain this variability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of certain SNPs in cabazitaxel activity. Methods: Clinical data from 67 mCRPC pts treated with cabazitaxel between March 2011 and October 2016 were collected. DNA was isolated from formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples. 56 SNPs in 5 genes related with metabolism and/or mechanism of action of cabazitaxel (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, ABCB1, TUBB1, CYP2C8) were chosen based on their Minor Allele Frequency, linkage disequilibrium and information from dbSNP and analyzed by TaqMan OpenArray (Lifetech). The presence/absence of mutant alleles of the selected SNPs was correlated with clinical features, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of prostate cancer. Chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier with log-rank test were used for statistical analyses. Results: The median age was 61 years (range 44-82). 56.7% (n = 38) had a Gleason score ≥8 and 94% had received docetaxel in first line. Type of response to cabazitaxel was associated with median OS (Partial response = 24.35 months, Stable disease = 11.16 months, Progression disease = 5.8 months; p= 0.045). Univariate analysis, showed worsed OS at 1 year for wild type status of SNP rs151352 (OR = 4, 95%CI 1.27-12.58, p= 0.029). In addition, two SNPs (rs11773597, rs1202186) were associated with radiological response to cabazitaxel ( p= 0.031 and p= 0.030 respectively). Other 7 SNPs (rs11773597, rs2235040, rs1045642, rs1419745, rs1202170, rs6949448, rs11572093) were associated ( p<0.05) with Gleason score, pain, PSA doubling time, febrile neutropenia and asthenia. Conclusions: A particular SNP profile could be predictive of efficacy and related with toxicity in mCRPC population treated with cabazitaxel after progression to docetaxel. These outcomes become particularly relevant in patient selection given the recent results of the CARD trial.
