Abdominal Desmoid: Course, Severe Outcomes, and Unique Genetic Background in a Large Local Series

Introduction: Abdominal desmoid tumors are locally aggressive tumors that develop in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, within the mesentery or abdominal wall. The understanding and implications of the treatment regimens are evolving. Aim: To assess the course, treatment, and outcomes of FAP and non-FAP abdominal desmoids and their related genetic alterations. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Demographics, tumor characteristics, oncological and surgical history, complications, genetic-testing, and mortality data were retrieved from two tertiary referral centers. Results: Sixty-two patients were identified (46 FAP and 16 non-FAP). Thirty-eight patients (61.3%) underwent surgical procedures (12 urgent and 26 elective). Out of 33 tumor resections, 39.4% recurred. Hormonal therapy, COX-inhibitors, chemotherapy, imatinib, and sorafenib were used in 35 (56.4%), 30 (48.4%), 18 (29.1%), 7 (11.3%), and 8 (12.9%) of patients, respectively, with a 2 year progression-free survival of 67.8%, 57.7%, 38.4%, and 28.5%, respectively. Forty-one patients (66.1%) suffered complications: bowel obstruction (30.6%), hyperalimentation (14.5%), ureteral obstruction (12.9%), perforation (11.3%), abscess formation (3.2%), and spinal cord compression (3.2%). Non-FAP patients carried pathogenic mutations in CHEK2, BLM, ERCC5, MSH6, and PALB2. Conclusions: Abdominal desmoids are mostly FAP-related and are associated with severe outcomes. We also report a group of non-FAP abdominal desmoids, which includes patients with additional cancer-related gene alterations. This interesting group should be further explored.

Understanding and implications of treatment regimens are evolving. We aimed to assess course, treatment and outcomes of FAP and non-FAP abdominal desmoids and their related genetic alterations. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Demographics, tumor characteristics, oncological and surgical history, complications, genetic-testing and mortality data were retrieved from two tertiary referral centers. Results: Sixty-two patients were identified (46 FAP, 16 non-FAP) with a median follow up of 72.4 months. Thirty-eight patients (61.3%) underwent surgical procedures: twelve urgent and 26 elective. Out of 33 tumor resections, 39.4% recurred. Hormonal therapy, COX-inhibitors, chemotherapy, imatinib and sorafenib were used in 35(56.4%), 30(48.4%), 18(29.1%), 7(11.3%) and 8(12.9%) of patients, respectively, with 2 years progression-free survival of 67.8%, 57.7%, 38.4%, 28.5%, respectively. Only 1/9 patients treated with sorafenib had disease progression after a median follow up of 6.8 months. Forty-one patients (66.1%) suffered complications: bowel obstruction (30.6%), hyperalimentation (14.5%), ureteral obstruction (12.9%), perforation (11.3%), abscess formation (3.2%) and spinal cord compression (3.2%). Two patients died. Non-FAP patients presented with three renal-cell carcinomas and one germ-cell tumor and carried pathogenic mutations in CHEK2, BLM, ERCC5, MSH6 and PALB2. Conclusions: Abdominal desmoids are mostly FAP-related and are associated with severe outcomes. We report a group of non-FAP abdominal desmoids that includes patients with additional cancer-related gene alterations. This interesting group should undergo genetic consultation and be further explored.

10022 Background: LOGIC2 evaluates the benefit of a 3rd agent added to encorafenib (enco)/binimetinib (bini), selected at progression based on the genetic tumor evolution. Methods: In part I/run-In, pts were treated with enco/bini until disease progression (as defined per RECIST v1.1). Foundation One NGS was applied on a baseline sample and on a PD sample. Based on the genetic evolution between the biopsy at inclusion (bxI) and at progression (bxPD) and clinical considerations, pts entered part II and received one of four 3rd agent additions to enco/bini combinations: A. LEE011 (CDK4/6 inhibitor), B. BKM120 (PI3K inhibitor), C. INC280 (c-Met inhibitor), or D. BGJ398 (FGFR inhibitor). An adaptive Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) guided by the escalation with overdose control (EWOC) principle was used to make dose escalation decisions. Assessments include objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Data cutoff for this analysis was May 12, 2019. Data is as is. Part 1 of study is ongoing. Part 2 of study is closed to enrollment. Results: 58 pts enrolled into part II (group A=38; B=6; C=13; D=1). 29 pts were assigned to treatment based on bxPD results (Table). In groups A, B, and C, the confirmed ORR was 5.3%, 0%, and 0%, and the DCR was 26.3%, 16.7%, and 15.4%, with median PFS of 2.1, 1.6, and 2.2 months, respectively. Safety was consistent with known profiles of the individual agents. Conclusions: Triple therapy is feasible when a 3rd agent is added to enco/bini at progression based on genetic alterations, although activity observed was low. Further exploration to identify patterns of resistance susceptible to the addition of a 3rd agent is needed. Gene alterations for enrollment into part 2. Clinical trial information: NCT02159066.

Abstract Lenalidomide plus dexamethasone is effective for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM); however, toxicities from dexamethasone can be dose limiting. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide monotherapy in patients with relapsed and refractory MM. Patients (N = 222) received lenalidomide 30 mg/day once daily (days 1-21 every 28 days) until disease progression or intolerance. Response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), and safety were assessed. Overall, 67% of patients had received 3 or more prior treatment regimens. Partial response or better was reported in 26% of patients, with minimal response 18%. There was no difference between patients who had received 2 or fewer versus 3 or more prior treatment regimens (45% vs 44%, respectively). Median values for TTP, PFS, and OS were 5.2, 4.9, and 23.2 months, respectively. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (60%), thrombocytopenia (39%), and anemia (20%), which proved manageable with dose reduction. Grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia occurred in 4% of patients. Lenalidomide monotherapy is active in relapsed and refractory MM with acceptable toxicities. These data support treatment with single-agent lenalidomide, as well as its use in steroid-sparing combination approaches. The study is registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00065351.

Gene Alterations

DNA damage response and repair (DDR) gene alterations increase tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, genomic instability, and tumor mutational burden (TMB). Whether DDR-related alterations relate to therapeutic response and prognosis in lung cancer lacking oncogenic drivers remains unknown. Pretherapeutic cancer samples of 122 patients [86 non-small cell lung cancer and 36 small cell lung cancer (SCLC)] harboring no EGFR/ALK alterations were collected. Through whole-exome sequencing, we outlined DDR mutational landscape and determined relationships between DDR gene alterations and TMB or intratumoral heterogeneity. Then, we evaluated the impacts of DDR gene alterations on therapeutic response and prognosis and established a DDR-based model for prognosis prediction. In addition, we investigated somatic interactions of DDR genes and immunomodulatory genes, immune expression patterns, immune microenvironment, and immune infiltration characteristics between DDR-deficient and DDR-proficient samples. Samples from cBioportal datasets were utilized for verification. We found that deleterious DDR gene alterations were closely associated with higher TMB than proficient-types (p < 0.001). DDR mechanisms attach great importance to the determination of patients’ prognosis after chemotherapy, and alterations of base excision repair pathway in adenocarcinoma, nucleotide excision repair in squamous carcinoma, and homologous recombination pathway in SCLC tend to associate with worse progression-free survival to first-line chemotherapy (all p < 0.05). A predictive nomogram model was constructed incorporating DDR-related alterations, clinical stage, and smoking status, with the area under curve values of 0.692–0.789 for 1- and 2-year receiver operating characteristic curves in training and testing cohorts. Furthermore, DDR-altered tumors contained enhanced frequencies of alterations in various genes of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I pathway including TAP1 and TAP2 than DDR-proficient samples. DDR-deficient types had lower expressions of STING1 (p = 0.01), CD28 (p = 0.020), HLA-DRB6 (p = 0.014) in adenocarcinoma, lower TNFRSF4 (p = 0.017), and TGFB1 expressions (p = 0.033) in squamous carcinoma, and higher CD40 (p = 0.012) and TNFRSF14 expressions (p = 0.022) in SCLC. DDR alteration enhanced activated mast cells in adenocarcinoma (p = 0.044) and M2 macrophage in squamous carcinoma (p = 0.004) than DDR-proficient types. Collectively, DDR gene alterations in lung cancer without oncogenic drivers are positively associated with high TMB. Specific DDR gene alterations tend to associate with worse progression-free survival to initial chemotherapy.

Diffuse Gliomas

Abstract BACKGROUND Although the word “glioblastoma” still denotes a grade-IV pathology, basic molecular studies have clearly indicated that a significant proportion of lower-grade gliomas harbor genetic alterations typical of glioblastomas. Based on these findings cIMPACT-NOW update 3 has defined an entity called the “diffuse astrocytic glioma, IDH-wildtype, with molecular features of glioblastoma, WHO grade IV”. A TERT-promoter mutation is one of these typical molecular markers of glioblastomas. In this study we analyzed IDH-wild type, TERT-mutant diffuse gliomas of different pathological grades to look for differences in demographic, clinical and survival characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS 147 adult hemispheric diffuse-gliomas with wild-type IDH1/2 and mutant TERT-promoter (C228T or C250T) were retrospectively analyzed. Primary thalamic, cerebellar brainstem or spinal cases were excluded. 126 (86%), 16(11%) and 5(3%) patients were WHO grade IV, III and II respectively. After surgical treatment or stereotactic biopsy all patients underwent chemoradiation. Median follow-up was 16mo (1–110). Tumors of different grades were compared for age, gender, multifocality, gliomatosis pattern, Ki-67 index, progression-free survival and overall-survival. RESULTS Mean age at presentation for grade II, III and IV were comparable (58.1, 58 and 58.1; ANOVA, p=0.72). There was a slight male predominance in both lower-grades and WHO-grade IV (M:F ratios 1.625 and 1.74). Mean Ki-67 index was significantly higher in higher grades (0.06, 0.14 and 0.25 for grades II, III and IV; ANOVA, p=0.001). Multifocality was comparable (chi-sq, p=1) in lower-grades (3/21; 14.3%) vs. WHO-grade IV (18/126; 14.3%). Gliomatosis pattern was comparable (chi-sq, p=0.095) in lower-grades (2/21; 9.5%) vs. (3/126; 2.3%). Median recurrence free survival (RFS) was 16 months (0–63) in lower-grades and 8months (1–50) in WHO-grade IV. PFS was significantly different between 3 WHO-grades (Log rank, p=0.007) and also between lower-grades and WHO-grade IV (Log rank, p=0.002). Median overall survival was 26 months(2–110) in lower-grades and 15mo(1–91) in WHO-grade IV. OS was significantly different between 3 WHO-grades (Log rank, p=0.014) and also between lower-grades and WHO-grade IV (Log rank, p=0.007). CONCLUSION Increasing pathological grades of hemispheric “IDH-wild type, TERT-mutant diffuse gliomas” have similar demographic and clinical characteristics but incrasing proliferation indices, decrasing progression free survival and shorter overall survival. The findings may be suggesitve of different grades of one common tumor entity.

Abstract Purpose To provide an overview of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene alterations and the pharmacology, clinical effectiveness, dosage and administration, cost, and place in therapy of erdafitinib in bladder cancer. Summary Erdafitinib (Balversa, Janssen Pharmaceuticals) is a novel pan-FGFR inhibitor recently approved for the treatment of patients with advanced urothelial cancer with specific FGFR genetic alterations who have received at least one prior platinum-containing regimen. Erdafitinib binding to the FGFR2 and FGFR3 receptors inhibits FGF activity, resulting in cell death. Erdafitinib is available in tablet form, and the current recommended daily dosing is 8 mg, with dose escalation to 9 mg after 14 to 21 days of therapy if tolerated. A phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated that patients who received erdafitinib experienced on average 5.5 months of progression-free survival (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.2-6.0 months). In addition, 40% (95% CI, 31-50%) of patients responded to erdafitinib therapy. Patients receiving erdafitinib therapy should be monitored specifically for elevations in serum phosphate levels and changes in vision. Other adverse effects include anemia, thrombocytopenia, and electrolyte abnormalities. Conclusion Erdafitinib is the first small-molecule FGFR inhibitor approved for use in advanced bladder cancer.

e15101 Background: Although the difference in right vs. left sidedness of colorectal cancer (CRC) in response to targeted therapy has been reported, we hypothesized that right-sided colorectal cancer (RCC) is more likely to have genetic alterations associated with resistance of anti-EGFR therapy. We tested this hypothesis using comprehensive genomic sequencing (CGS) on a set of samples from well-characterized CRC patients. Methods: Two-hundred-one primary colon cancer patients with either RCC or left-sided colorectal cancer (LCC) were analyzed. We investigated gene alterations using 415 gene panel, which includes the gene alterations associated with resistance of anti-EGFR therapy: TK receptors ( ERBB2, MET, EGFR, FGFR1, and PDGFRA), RAS pathway ( KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, and MAPK2K1), and PI3K pathway ( PTEN and PIK3CA). We defined the patients who had no alterations in any of the genes as “all wild-type”, who are theoretically considered as responders of anti-EGFR therapy. Other patients with genetic alterations in resistance pathways were defined as “mutant-type”. Results: Fifty-six patients (28%) and 145 patients (72%) had RCC and LCC, respectively. Mutation of PIK3CA, BRAF, ACVR2A, MSH6, and CTNNB1 were significantly associated with RCC. Conversely, mutation of APC and TP53 were significantly associated with LCC. Regarding the gene alterations associated with anti-EGFR therapy, only 6 of 56 patients (11%) of RCC were “all wild-type”; in contrast to 41 of 145 patients (28%) of LCC that were “all wild-type” ( P = 0.009). In 45 Stage IV patients treated with anti-EGFR therapy, RCC showed significantly worse progression-free survival (PFS) than LCC ( P = 0.019), and “mutant-type” RCC showed worse PFS compared to the others ( P = 0.018). Conclusions: RCC is more likely to have the genetic alterations associated with resistance of anti-EGFR therapy compared to LCC. Primary tumor sidedness is a surrogate for the non-random distribution of molecular subtypes in CRC.

Abstract Background The human aldo-keto reductase 1 (AKR1) C family comprises four enzymes, AKR1C1–AKR1C4. Lots of studies have investigated the function of AKR1Cs in tumors, however little is known in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Public databases were used to explore expression and role of AKR1Cs in HCC. Meanwhile, data of 134 HCC patients from Firebrowse website was used for validation. Results The results revealed that AKR1Cs expression was negatively correlated with the infiltration level of CD4+ T cells. Overexpression of AKR1C1/2/3 was significantly associated with tumor stage and pathological grade. Moreover, higher mRNA expression of AKR1C1/2/3 was related with shorter overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that AKR1C1/2/3 could be significant risk factors for HCC patients. Additionally, genetic alterations of AKR1Cs can significantly affect patient OS and PFS, and expression of AKR1Cs was linked to functional networks involving oxidation-reduction process, cellular hormone metabolic process and organic hydroxy compound metabolic process, as well as retinol metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, metabolic pathway and fatty acid degradation pathways. Conclusions In conclusion, we successfully elaborated the relationship between AKR1Cs expression and immune infiltrations, and identified AKR1C1/2/3 could be novel prognostic biomarkers for HCC patients.

Abstract Background: Although taxane-containing chemotherapy is widely used to treat solid tumors, genetic polymorphisms can influence the chemotherapeutic response. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between two polymorphisms in ABCB1 , rs1045642 and rs1128503, and survival of patients administered taxane-containing chemotherapy. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang database, VIP database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure database were used to obtain articles published up to August 2019 describing the association between the ABCB1 rs1045642 and rs1128503 polymorphisms and survival. A meta-analysis was conducted using R 3.6.1 software to determine the pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Furthermore, publication bias was assessed, and sensitivity analysis was performed to validate the analysis. Results: Fifteen studies involving 3320 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The summary results showed that the effect of the C1236T polymorphism on progression-free survival remained significant in the heterozygote model (HR 0.81; 95% CI: 0.67–0.98) and homozygote model (HR 0.71; 95% CI: 0.58–0.88). Compared to the C1236 TT phenotype, the CC genotype was associated with a poor overall survival (HR 0.72; 95% CI: 0.53–0.97). Finally, subgroup analysis suggested that different areas, tumor types, and treatment regimens influence patient survival. Conclusions: Patients who are ABCB1 rs1045642 and rs1128503 T gene carriers show a survival benefit with taxane-containing chemotherapy.

Introduction: There is a paucity of randomized trials to guide therapy for relapsed AL amyloidosis with treatment regimens generally extrapolated from experience in multiple myeloma. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who relapsed after receiving autologous stem cell transplant at Mayo Clinic. Patients treated for first relapse between January 2004 and December 2018 were included. Results: Three hundred and twenty-one patients were seen for relapsed AL amyloidosis post ASCT during the study period. Baseline characteristics were typical for a cohort with AL amyloidosis and are listed in Table1. 39% received therapy prior to transplant, conditioning in the majority (75%) was melphalan 200mg/m2. The median progression free survival from transplant (PFS1) was 30.7 months. Of the 321 patients 294 received treatment for relapsed disease. We categorized treatment regimens according to commonly used combinations and drug classes to further analyze outcomes. 34 patients were excluded from this analysis as they either proceeded directly to second ASCT (n=10) or received an atypical regimen not commonly considered for AL amyloidosis (n=24). Five categories of therapy regimens were identified, thalidomide based (n=110), melphalan plus steroids (n=31), 2nd generation immunomodulatory (IMiD) drug +/- alkylator (n=76), proteasome inhibitor (PI) +/- alkylator (n=116), PI plus IMiD (n=16), or daratumumab based (n=9). Disease and treatment characteristics for patients treated with these regimens are listed in Table 2. Patients treated with thalidomide had the shortest PFS1 (17.7 months) but PFS1 was similar for those treated with melphalan plus steroids, PI+IMiD and 2nd generation IMiDs (25.5, 24.3 and 25.6 months respectively). Patients treated with a PI +/- alkylator and daratumumab based regimen had the longest PFS1 (36.7 and 41.9 months respectively). The median duration of therapy was longer in patients treated with a 2nd generation IMiD or daratumumab based regimen (10.2, 12, 6.1, 5.5, 6.2 and 5.9 months for Dara based, 2nd generation IMiD, PI+/- alkylator, PI+IMiD, melphalan plus steroids and thalidomide based respectively). Hematologic response rate was lowest in those treated with melphalan plus steroids or thalidomide based regimens (44% and 55% respectively) and highest for patients treated with a PI+/- alkylator, (Figure 1). Progression free survival from relapsed therapy (PFS2) was longest amongst patients treated with daratumumab based regimens, PI +/- alkylator and 2nd generation IMiDs (not reached, 29.9 and 26.7 months respectively), Figure 2A. Overall survival from time of relapsed therapy favored patients treated with daratumumab based regimens, 2nd generation IMiDs and PI +/- alkylator, Figure 2b). Conclusion: A second generation IMiD based regimen or PI +/- alkylator produce high response rates and prolonged progression free and overall survival for relapsed AL amyloidosis. Patients treated with daratumumab based regimens and those treated with a PI plus IMiD also appear to do well, although numbers were low in our study. Patients treated with melphalan plus steroids or thalidomide based combinations have inferior outcomes and these regimens should be avoided.
