    Abstract: Developing new therapeutics for any of the more than 100 sarcoma subtypes presents a challenge. After progression from standard therapies, patients with sarcoma may be referred for enrollment in early-phase trials. This study aimed to investigate whether enrollment in biomarker-matched early-phase clinical trials leads to better outcomes for patients with advanced sarcoma. Experimental Design: In this retrospective analysis, investigational treatment characteristics and longitudinal survival outcomes were analyzed in patients with biopsy-confirmed sarcoma enrolled in early-phase trials at MD Anderson Cancer Center from May 2006 to July 2021. Results: Five hundred eighty-seven patients were included [405 soft tissue, 122 bone, 60 gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); median of three prior lines of therapy]. Most common subtypes were leiomyosarcoma (17.2%), liposarcoma (14.0%), and GIST (10.2%). Molecular testing was available for 511 patients (87.1%); 221 patients (37.6%) were treated in matched trials. Overall response rate was 13.1% matched compared with 4.9% in unmatched (P & lt; 0.001); the clinical benefit rate at 6 months was 43.9% vs. 19.9% (P & lt; 0.001). Progression-free survival was longer for patients in matched trials (median, 5.5 vs. 2.4 months; P & lt; 0.001), and overall survival was also superior for patients in matched trials (median, 21.5 vs. 12.3 months; P & lt; 0.001). The benefit of enrollment in matched trials was maintained when patients with GIST were excluded from the analysis. Conclusions: Enrollment in biomarker-matched early-phase trials is associated with improved outcomes in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic sarcoma. Molecular testing of tumors from patients with advanced sarcoma and enrollment in matched trials is a reasonable therapeutic strategy.

    Abstract: There are no clinical trials specifically addressing chemotherapy for adults with Ewing sarcoma (ES). Five-year event-free survival (EFS) of adults on pediatric studies of ES (44%–47%) is worse than that of children treated with the same therapy (69%). The object of this study was to review the results of therapy with vincristine, ifosfamide, and doxorubicin (VID) in the multidisciplinary treatment of adults with ES at our institution. Materials and Methods Charts for adults treated for ES from 1995 to 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinician-reported radiographic tumor response, type of local therapy, pathologic response, and survival data were collected. Results Seventy-one patients were identified who received VID as initial therapy. The median age was 25 (range: 16–64). Forty-two patients (59%) presented with a localized disease and 29 patients (41%) presented with a distant metastasis. Of all patients treated with VID, 83.6% showed a radiological response. Patients who presented with a localized disease had a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 68% (median not reached), compared with 10.3% (median: 1.9 years) in those who presented with distant metastases. Five-year EFS was 67%. The nine patients with a pelvic primary tumor had inferior 5-year OS (42%) to the 33 with primary tumors at other sites (75%). The 5-year OS of those who had greater than or equal to 95% necrosis after neoadjuvant VID (n = 20; 5-year OS: 84%) was superior to those who had less than 95% necrosis (n = 13; 5-year OS: 53%). Conclusion In adults with primary ES, VID combined with an adjuvant strategy based on post-treatment percent necrosis has favorable outcomes compared with historical adult controls.

    Abstract: Background : Ten to fourteen percent of Ewing sarcoma (ES) study participants treated nationwide with IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)-targeted antibodies achieved tumor regression. Despite this success, low response rates and short response durations (approximately 7-weeks) have slowed the development of this therapy. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of five phase-1b/2 ES-oriented trials that evaluated the anticancer activity of IGF-1R antibodies +/− mTOR inhibitors (mTORi). Our meta-analysis provided a head-to-head comparison of the clinical benefits of IGF-1R antibodies vs. the IGF-1R/mTOR-targeted combination. Available pretreatment clinical samples were semi-quantitatively scored using immunohistochemistry to detect proteins in the IGF-1R/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway linked to clinical response. Early PET/CT imaging, obtained within the first 2 weeks (median 10 days), were examined to determine if reduced FDG avidity was predictive of progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Among 56 ES patients treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) with IGF-1R antibodies, our analysis revealed a significant ~two-fold improvement in PFS that favored a combination of IGF-1R/mTORi therapy (1.6 vs. 3.3-months, p = 0.042). Low pIGF-1R in the pretreatment specimens was associated with treatment response. Reduced total-lesion glycolysis more accurately predicted the IGF-1R response than other previously reported radiological biomarkers. Conclusion: Synergistic drug combinations, and newly identified proteomic or radiological biomarkers of IGF-1R response, may be incorporated into future IGF-1R-related trials to improve the response rate in ES patients.

    Abstract: 11577 Background: MLS is a subset of liposarcoma characterized by a translocation, (t(12;16), FUS-DDIT3 or less frequently t(12;22), EWSR1-DDIT3). Additional mutations have been reported in TERT promotor, PIK3CA, and PTEN and some were associated with the more aggressive round cell phenotype. Our study aimed at analyzing the clinical significance of these recurring mutations. Methods: MLS patients (pt) with available next-generation sequencing (NGS) data (any clinical grade) between Jan 2014 to Oct 2022 were included. Baseline characteristics, chemotherapy (CMT) response (partial response [PR] and stable disease [SD] ), and survival were collected for doxorubicin-ifosfamide (AI), doxorubicin-dacarbazine (ADIC), trabectedin (T), and eribulin (E). Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate mutations associated with response. Cox proportional-hazard regression was used to investigate associations of variables with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival and log-rank tests were used to compare survival between groups. Results: Of 18 MLS pt included, median age at diagnosis was 42 years (R 30-65). Majority were male (12/18, 67%), had localized disease at diagnosis (13/18, 72%), and had lower extremities as primary location (10/18, 56%). Eight (44%) had round-cell 〉 5% and 15 (83%) had primary tumor 〉 5 cm. Somatic mutations were reported in 15 pt (83%); the most common were TERT promotor (61%), PTEN (28%), PIK3CA (22%), and TP53 (17%). None showed significant association with clinical factors (age, sex, size, stage, round cell 〉 5%, primary location). Forty-eight records (18 AI, 6 ADIC, 19 T, and 5 E; 3 pt received AI and T twice for different recurrences), were evaluated for PFS and 47 records had response data available. For AI, ADIC, T, and E, PR rate was 39% (7/18), 17% (1/6), 32% (6/19), and 40% (2/5), while clinical benefit (CBR: PR + SD≥ 3 mo) was 67% (12/18), 50% (3/6), 63% (12/19), and 80% (4/5), respectively. PR or CBR were not associated with the common mutations for any regimen. Median follow up (FU) from start of CMT was 4 mo (R 0.5-31). PFS (95%CI) was 11 (6.7- Not Reached [NR]), 1.2 (1.1-NR), 23 (6.3-NR), and 8 (1.3-NR) mo for AI, ADIC, T, and E, respectively. PIK3CAm (n = 15) was associated with improved PFS with CMT (PFS [95%CI] : PIK3CAwt 7.8 [6.3-11.2] vs. PIK3CAm 23 mo [1.3-NR] ; multivariate hazard ratio [HR] 0.23, p= 0.036, adjusted by gender and ADIC regimen). This appeared to be mainly driven by the PIK3CAm/ TERTwt (n = 8, HR 0.07, p= 0.006). For T, PIK3CAm/ TERTm (n = 3) showed a trend for lower PFS (1.3 mo) in contrast to other groups (23 mo). Conclusions: TERT promoter mutation was the most frequent mutation but was not associated with outcome in our small series. PIK3CAm suggested PFS benefit from CMT while, on the contrary, dual PIK3CAm/ TERTm showed a trend towards shorter PFS with T. The predictive and prognostic role of these mutations in MLS warrant further study.

    Abstract: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) can be associated with a relatively dense immune infiltration. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD1, anti-PDL1, and anti-CTLA4) are effective in 20% of UPS patients. We characterize the immune microenvironment of UPS and its association with oncologic outcomes. Material and methods Surgically resected UPS samples were stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the following: tumor-associated immune cells (CD3, CD8, CD163, CD20), immune checkpoints (stimulatory: OX40, ICOS; inhibitory: PD-L1, LAG3, IDO1, PD1), and the adenosine pathway (CD73, CD39). Sections were reviewed for the presence of lymphoid aggregates (LA). Clinical data were retrospectively obtained for all samples. The Wilcoxon rank-sum and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare distributions. Correlations between biomarkers were measured by Spearman correlation. Univariate and multivariate Cox models were used to identify biomarkers associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Unsupervised clustering was performed, and Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests used for comparison of OS and DFS between immune clusters. Results Samples analyzed (n=105) included 46 primary tumors, 34 local recurrences, and 25 metastases. LA were found in 23% (n=10/43), 17% (n=4/24), and 30% (n=7/23) of primary, recurrent, and metastatic samples, respectively. In primary UPS, CD73 expression was significantly higher after preoperative radiation therapy ( p =0.009). CD39 expression was significantly correlated with PD1 expression (primary: p =0.002, recurrent: p =0.004, metastatic: p =0.001), PD-L1 expression (primary: p =0.009), and CD3+ cell densities (primary: p =0.016, recurrent: p =0.043, metastatic: p =0.028). In recurrent tumors, there was a strong correlation between CD39 and CD73 ( p= 0.015), and both were also correlated with CD163+ cell densities (CD39 p= 0.013; CD73 p & lt; 0.001). In multivariate analyses, higher densities of CD3+ and CD8+ cells (Cox Hazard Ratio [HR]=0.33; p =0.010) were independently associated with OS (CD3+, HR=0.19, p & lt;0.001; CD8+, HR= 0.33, p =0.010) and DFS (CD3+, HR=0.34, p =0.018; CD8+, HR=0.34, p = 0.014). Unsupervised clustering of IHC values revealed three immunologically distinct clusters: immune high, intermediate, and low. In primary tumors, these clusters were significantly associated with OS (log-rank p & lt;0.0001) and DFS ( p & lt;0.001). Conclusion We identified three immunologically distinct clusters of UPS Associated with OS and DFS. Our data support further investigations of combination anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and adenosine pathway inhibitors in UPS.

    Abstract: Distinguishing well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) from dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is essential given distinct treatment paradigms and chemosensitivity. Percutaneous biopsy has a low sensitivity for detecting DDLPS. We sought to identify the diagnostic utility of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in identifying WDLPS versus DDLPS. An independent radiologist reviewed PET/CT images to identify target lesions and determine the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). An independent pathologist review confirmed WDLPS or DDLPS histology. A binary cutoff point of SUVmax was identified using a classification and regression trees (CART) algorithm. We identified 20 patients with WDLPS or DDLPS with 26 PET/CTs performed for separate recurrences that were followed by surgical sampling. Of the 26 records, 12 were DDLPS (46%) and 14 were WDLPS (54%). Patients with DDLPS had significantly higher SUVmax than those with WDLPS ( p value = 0.0035). A SUVmax of 4 was identified as the cutoff point. Using this cutoff, the sensitivity of SUVmax identifying a case as DDLPS was 83.3% (95% CI: 51.6%, 97.9%) and the specificity was 85.7% (95% CI: 57.2%, 98.2%). PET/CT is a sensitive and specific diagnostic tool to identify the presence of dedifferentiation within the tumor.
