    Abstract: Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has detailed the genomic characterization of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by identifying recurrent somatic mutations. We set out to design a clinically feasible NGS panel focusing on genes whose mutations hold potential therapeutic impact. Furthermore, for the first time, we evaluated the prognostic value of these mutations in prospective clinical trials. Experimental Design: A Lymphopanel was designed to identify mutations in 34 genes, selected according to literature and a whole exome sequencing study of relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients. The tumor DNA of 215 patients with CD20+de novo DLBCL in the prospective, multicenter, and randomized LNH-03B LYSA clinical trials was sequenced to deep, uniform coverage with the Lymphopanel. Cell-of-origin molecular classification was obtained through gene expression profiling with HGU133+2.0 Affymetrix GeneChip arrays. Results: The Lymphopanel was informative for 96% of patients. A clear depiction of DLBCL subtype molecular heterogeneity was uncovered with the Lymphopanel, confirming that activated B-cell–like (ABC), germinal center B-cell like (GCB), and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) are frequently affected by mutations in NF-κB, epigenetic, and JAK–STAT pathways, respectively. Novel truncating immunity pathway, ITPKB, MFHAS1, and XPO1 mutations were identified as highly enriched in PMBL. Notably, TNFAIP3 and GNA13 mutations in ABC patients treated with R-CHOP were associated with significantly less favorable prognoses. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the contribution of NGS with a consensus gene panel to personalized therapy in DLBCL, highlighting the molecular heterogeneity of subtypes and identifying somatic mutations with therapeutic and prognostic impact.

    Abstract: Purpose: MYD88 mutations, notably the recurrent gain-of-function L265P variant, are a distinguishing feature of activated B-cell like (ABC) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), leading to constitutive NFκB pathway activation. The aim of this study was to examine the distinct genomic profiles of MYD88-mutant DLBCL, notably according to the presence of the L265P or other non-L265P MYD88 variants. Experimental Design: A cohort of 361 DLBCL cases (94 MYD88 mutant and 267 MYD88 wild-type) was submitted to next-generation sequencing (NGS) focusing on 34 genes to analyze associated mutations and copy number variations, as well as gene expression profiling, and clinical and prognostic analyses. Results: Importantly, we highlighted different genomic profiles for MYD88 L265P and MYD88 non-L265P–mutant DLBCL, shedding light on their divergent backgrounds. Clustering analysis also segregated subgroups according to associated genetic alterations among patients with the same MYD88 mutation. We showed that associated CD79B and MYD88 L265P mutations act synergistically to increase NFκB pathway activation, although the majority of MYD88 L265P–mutant cases harbors downstream NFκB alterations, which can predict BTK inhibitor resistance. Finally, although the MYD88 L265P variant was not an independent prognostic factor in ABC DLBCL, associated CD79B mutations significantly improved the survival of MYD88 L265P–mutant ABC DLBCL in our cohort. Conclusions: This study highlights the relative heterogeneity of MYD88-mutant DLBCL, adding to the field's knowledge of the theranostic importance of MYD88 mutations, but also of associated alterations, emphasizing the usefulness of genomic profiling to best stratify patients for targeted therapy.

    Abstract 5932: Targeting tumor acidity with the LDHA inhibitor (FX11) and CAIX inhibitor (DH348) overcomes resistance to PD-1 blockade and inhibits metastasis in a pancreatic cancer model

    Abstract: Prior work by us and others has demonstrated that the extracellular pH (pHe) of solid tumors is acidic, due to a combination of increased fermentative metabolism, resulting in lactic acid production and poor perfusion. This acidity promotes tumor progression and metastasis formation. Recently we have shown in melanoma and pancreatic cancer models that acidity inhibits antitumor immunity by preventing T-cell activation. Reversal of acidity with buffer therapy (200mM NaHCO3) synergized with checkpoint blockade (anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1) and adoptive T-cell therapy has resulted in cures. While this is promising, concerns are high regarding the ingestion of such large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which makes clinical translation a challenge. Hence, we hypothesize that alternative pharmacological interventions can neutralize the pHe of tumors and remove this immunosuppressive effect. To study this we first investigated a series of agents for their ability to inhibit metastasis in the PC3 prostate cancer model, which is exquisitely sensitive to inhibition with buffer therapy. In this study, male SCID mice were grouped in to 6 groups (n=5) and treated with tap water, 200 mM bicarbonate ad lib, 30 mg/kg daily (q.d.) intraperitoneal (i.p.) Acetazolamide (CA inhibitor), 1.2 mg/kg q.d.i.p. Furosemide (diuretic), 10 mg/kg q.d.i.p. DH348 (selective CAIX inhibitor) or 2.1 mg/kg q.d.i.p. FX-11 (LDHA inhibitor). Mice were intravenously injected with 5*10^6 PC3M-luc cells and ventral bioluminescence images were acquired at time 0 and weekly thereafter. Our results showed that FX-11, acetazolamide, DH348 and bicarbonate were able to effectively (p & lt;0.004) suppress metastasis formation in this system, whereas furosemide was not. Based on these results, a subsequent study investigated the combination of bicarbonate, FX-11 or DH348 with immune checkpoint blockade in a Panc02 mouse model of pancreatic cancer. Animals were inoculated orthotopically with Panc02 cells and randomized into 8 groups (n=10). Once tumors reached 0.3 cc in size, mice were treated with either 15 mg/kg anti-PD-1 antibody or normal rat IgG controls twice weekly alone or in combination with bicarbonate; FX-11 or DH348 and tumor response was evaluated using US 3D-Mode imaging and volume analysis (FUJIFILM VisualSonics) and histopathology. Anti-PD-1 antibody was ineffective as a monotherapy in this system. Both bicarbonate and DH348 neutralized tumor acidity and reduced tumor growth as monotherapies. Notably, despite the fact that FX-11 was shown to inhibit LDH-A in pancreatic cancer models, it did not affect pH and had no effect on tumor growth as monotherapy. However, FX-11 significantly reduced tumor growth (p & lt;0.01) and metastasis formation in combination with anti-PD-1 antibody, suggesting that inhibition of LDH-A might be effective in combination with checkpoint blockade.

    Abstract: Hypoxia is a characteristic of many solid tumors and is defined as a low level or absence of oxygen due to an insufficient vascularization of the tumor or a transient blockage of blood vessels. Hypoxia activates a survival response within the tumor cells driving cancer progression and is associated with poor prognosis. Hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs) are anti-neoplastic agents that can solely be activated in hypoxic areas allowing the targeted delivery of cytotoxic compounds in the hypoxic tumor niches. Convert Pharmaceuticals is developing CP-506, a novel generation of HAP presenting a strong bystander effect. A key step in the activation of CP-506 is its conversion by one-electron reductases to an oxygen-sensing intermediate. Under normoxic conditions, the intermediate is rapidly re-oxidized to the pro-drug. However, under severe hypoxic conditions, further reduction steps lead to the generation of the active cytotoxic metabolite, CP-506M. In an in vitro cytotoxicity assay, CP-506 significantly inhibited the viability of several tumor cell lines specifically under anoxic conditions. In spheroid models, CP-506 demonstrates a strong bystander effect i.e. the ability of the active metabolite to locally diffuse beyond the hypoxic core and induce tumor cell death. CP-506 was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 600 mg/kg once a day for 5 consecutive days and showed a significant inhibition of tumor growth in four tumor xenograft models (triple negative breast cancer, lung and pancreatic cancers). In all tumor models, CP-506 treatment significantly increased the survival of treated mice assessed by the time to reach four times the start volume as a surrogate endpoint for survival. Different dosing regimens for CP-506 were investigated and all demonstrated a significant tumor growth inhibition compared to the vehicle group. The most profound anti-tumor effect was observed for the repeated cycles of daily consecutive administrations. Finally, no cumulative toxicity was observed for any of the repeated dosing schedules as indicated by bodyweight change. The successful development of CP-506 will require combination with treatments targeting well-oxygenated cells and the careful selection of patients predicted to benefit from a HAP treatment. To this end, we are currently identifying key parameters (presence of tumor hypoxia, expression of reductases and DNA repair capacity) in the activation of CP-506 to define predictive gene signatures in liquid biopsies enabling patient selection. Our current pre-clinical data strongly suggest that CP-506 is a potent, highly selective HAP with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and the addition of predictive gene signatures or imaging biomarkers for patient selection holds great promise for the treatment of cancer.

    Abstract: Introduction: Tumor hypoxia is an important prognostic factor in overall survival for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Quantifying and localizing hypoxia non-invasively is therefore important. At present, hypoxia PET tracers lack high tumor-to-background (TBR) ratios. The nitroimidazole [18F]HX4, has shown promise in pre-clinical (Dubois et al. PNAS 2011) and phase I human setting (van Loon et al. EJNMMI 2010). However, until now no comparative research has been conducted between the latest promising hypoxia tracers in order to define the best marker. In a pre-clinical study [18F] HX4 was compared to the hypoxia tracers [18F]FMISO and [18F] FAZA on 3 endpoints; optimal imaging time point, spatial reproducibility and oxygen dependency. Clinical studies investigated the optimal time point and spatial-temporal stability for [18F]HX4 imaging. Methods: In pre-clinical experiments, WAG/Rij rats bearing rhabdomyosarcoma R1 tumors were injected with 20 ± 4 MBq of [18F]HX4, [18F] FMISO or [18F]FAZA, followed by PET/CT imaging up to 6h post-injection (h p.i.). For each tracer TBR was calculated and reproducibility was investigated by voxel-to-voxel analysis or a DICE similarity coefficient. Oxygen sensitivity was studied by altering the tumoral hypoxia status either by carbogen/nicotinamide treatment or 7% oxygen breathing. In clinical trials, NSCLC (N=15) [NCT01024829, NCT01210378] and HNSCC (N=10) [NCT01347281] patients were injected with 403 ± 53 MBq [18F] HX4 and PET/CT imaging was performed at several time points up to 4h p.i.. Tumor uptake (TBR & gt;1.4), image contrast changes over time, hypoxic fraction (HF) and spatial-temporal stability were evaluated. Results: In pre-clinical setting, [18F]HX4 uptake reached a stabilized and maximal TBR at 3h p.i. (TBR=7.2) which is significantly higher compared to the plateau phase of [18F] FAZA reached at 2h p.i. (TBR=3.9, P & lt;0.05). [18F]FMISO did not reach a plateau. Voxel-to-voxel comparisons and DICE similarity coefficient calculations showed a high short- and long-term spatial reproducibility except for [18F] FAZA, which performed poor on a 48 hour interval. Increasing the hypoxic fraction by 7% oxygen breathing resulted in enhanced mean standardized uptake values for both [18F]HX4 (P & lt;0.01) and [18F]FAZA (P & lt;0.05). Only [18F]FMISO uptake was found to be reversible upon reoxyg enation using nicotinamide and carbogen. In patients, a TBR & gt;1.4 was observed in 72% of NSCLC and in 74% of HNSCC target lesions, with average HF of 14 ± 17% and 25 ± 22%, respectively. In the hypoxic lesions, TBR increased up to 4h p.i., providing a better contrast at the latest time-points. [18F]HX4 uptake was stable in time and space for the heterogeneous pattern in NSCLC lesions (2h vs. 4h p.i.: r = 0.77 ± 0.10). Conclusions: Both pre-clinical and clinical studies support [18F]HX4 as a robust hypoxia tracer, with the highest image contrast from 3h p.i. onwards, sensitivity to hypoxia and high reproducibility.

    Abstract: Background: More than half of Breast Cancer (BC) patients take chronically used non-cancer treatments (denoted as comedications) at BC diagnosis. Epidemiological evidence has reported that several non-cancer treatments may modify BC risk, BC recurrence, and overall survival (OS). The ADRENALINE project (Atlas for DRug and brEast caNcer survivAL INtEraction) analyses the impact of the use of each commonly prescribed non-cancer treatment at BC diagnosis on OS using the French social security system data on a comprehensive cohort of French BC patients. Methods: We identified all women diagnosed with an incident BC treated with surgery in France from 2011 to 2017 and affiliated to the general health insurance scheme. Women with concomitant cancer or metastases at diagnosis were discarded from the analyses. Comedication intake was defined as the delivery in pharmacy of at least 3 months of full treatment (e.g. 90 pills) the 6 months preceding BC diagnosis. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for each molecule. The model was adjusted on more than 100 confounding variables: social factors, comorbidities and other comedications by Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW). We assumed that the adjustment was sufficient to control for confounding if the standardized mean difference of each confounder after adjustment did not exceed 0.1. Molecules which did not pass the adjustment quality test were discarded. Results: Overall, 235,368 patients were included in the study. Among 219 selected drugs, 91 passed the adjustment quality test. The full set of results is available on a web application (https://adrenaline.curie.fr). Several drugs or drug classes were associated with an improved survival: statins (e.g. rosuvastatin, HR=0.65, p & lt; 0.001); proton-pump inhibitors (HR=0.93; p=0.002); or beta-blocking agents (atenolol, HR=0.78, p=0.003). Conversely, anti-anemic preparations (folic acid and ferrous sulfate) had a significant deleterious effect (HR = 1.63; p & lt; 0.001). Drugs from the same therapeutic class, could have different effects: within benzodiazepines, bromazepam was protective (HR = 0.91; p = 0.038) while oxazepam was deleterious (HR = 1.37; p & lt; 0.001). Conclusion: ADRENALINE reports the impact on BC survival of 219 widely prescribed drugs. It can be used to identify molecules with a potential protective or deleterious effect relative to BC. Some of them are currently under mechanistical investigation within a drug screening program. This atlas highlights candidates to drug-repurposing trials or pharmacovigilance warnings, and will be extended to cancers of other localizations in a near future.

    Abstract: Purpose: Radiotherapy modifies the tumor microenvironment and causes the release of tumor antigens, which can enhance the effect of immunotherapy. L19 targets the extra domain B (ED-B) of fibronectin, a marker for tumor neoangiogenesis, and can be used as immunocytokine when coupled to IL2. We hypothesize that radiotherapy in combination with L19-IL2 provides an enhanced antitumor effect, which is dependent on ED-B expression. Experimental Design: Mice were injected with syngeneic C51 colon carcinoma, Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), or 4T1 mammary carcinoma cells. Tumor growth delay, underlying immunologic parameters, and treatment toxicity were evaluated after single-dose local tumor irradiation and systemic administration of L19-IL2 or equimolar controls. Results: ED-B expression was high, intermediate, and low for C51, LLC, and 4T1, respectively. The combination therapy showed (i) a long-lasting synergistic effect for the C51 model with 75% of tumors being cured, (ii) an additive effect for the LLC model, and (iii) no effect for the 4T1 model. The combination treatment resulted in a significantly increased cytotoxic (CD8+) T-cell population for both C51 and LLC. Depletion of CD8+ T cells abolished the benefit of the combination therapy. Conclusions: These data provide the first evidence for an increased therapeutic potential by combining radiotherapy with L19-IL2 in ED-B–positive tumors. This new opportunity in cancer treatment will be investigated in a phase I clinical study for patients with an oligometastatic solid tumor (NCT02086721).

    Abstract: Purpose: Conventional anticancer treatments are often impaired by the presence of hypoxia. TH-302 selectively targets hypoxic tumor regions, where it is converted into a cytotoxic agent. This study assessed the efficacy of the combination treatment of TH-302 and radiotherapy in two preclinical tumor models. The effect of oxygen modification on the combination treatment was evaluated and the effect of TH-302 on the hypoxic fraction (HF) was monitored using [18F]HX4-PET imaging and pimonidazole IHC stainings. Experimental Design: Rhabdomyosarcoma R1 and H460 NSCLC tumor-bearing animals were treated with TH-302 and radiotherapy (8 Gy, single dose). The tumor oxygenation status was altered by exposing animals to carbogen (95% oxygen) and nicotinamide, 21% or 7% oxygen breathing during the course of the treatment. Tumor growth and treatment toxicity were monitored until the tumor reached four times its start volume (T4×SV). Results: Both tumor models showed a growth delay after TH-302 treatment, which further increased when combined with radiotherapy (enhancement ratio rhabdomyosarcoma 1.23; H460 1.49). TH-302 decreases the HF in both models, consistent with its hypoxia-targeting mechanism of action. Treatment efficacy was dependent on tumor oxygenation; increasing the tumor oxygen status abolished the effect of TH-302, whereas enhancing the HF enlarged TH-302′s therapeutic effect. An association was observed in rhabdomyosarcoma tumors between the pretreatment HF as measured by [18F]HX4-PET imaging and the T4×SV. Conclusions: The combination of TH-302 and radiotherapy is promising and warrants clinical testing, preferably guided by the companion biomarker [18F]HX4 hypoxia PET imaging for patient selection.

    Abstract: Purpose: We tested therapeutic efficacy of two dose painting strategies of applying higher radiation dose to tumor subvolumes with high FDG uptake (biologic target volume, BTV): dose escalation and dose redistribution. We also investigated whether tumor response was determined by the highest dose in BTV or the lowest dose in gross tumor volume (GTV). Experimental Design: FDG uptake was evaluated in rat rhabdomyosarcomas prior to irradiation. BTV was defined as 30% of GTV with the highest (BTVhot) or lowest (BTVcold) uptake. To test efficacy of dose escalation, tumor response (time to reach two times starting tumor volume, TGTV2) to Hot Boost irradiation (40% higher dose to BTVhot) was compared with Cold Boost (40% higher dose to BTVcold), while mean dose to GTV remained 12 Gy. To test efficacy of dose redistribution, TGTV2 after Hot Boost was compared with uniform irradiation with the same mean dose (8 or 12 Gy). Results: TGTV2 after 12 Gy delivered heterogeneously (Hot and Cold Boost) or uniformly were not significantly different: 20.2, 19.5, and 20.6 days, respectively. Dose redistribution (Hot Boost) with 8 Gy resulted in faster tumor regrowth as compared with uniform irradiation (13.3 vs. 17.1 days; P = 0.026). Further increase in dose gradient to 60% led to a more pronounced decrease in TGTV2 (10.9 days; P & lt; 0.0001). Conclusions: Dose escalation effect was independent of FDG uptake in target tumor volume, while dose redistribution was detrimental in this tumor model for dose levels applied here. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that tumor response depends on the minimum intratumoral dose. Clin Cancer Res; 21(24); 5511–8. ©2015 AACR.

    Abstract: Purpose: There is a clear clinical need for cytotoxic drugs with a lower systemic toxicity. DTS-201 (CPI-0004Na) is a peptidic prodrug of doxorubicin that shows an improved therapeutic index in experimental models. The purpose of the current study was to complete its preclinical characterization before initiation of phase I clinical trials. Experimental Design: The preclinical development program consisted of a detailed assessment of the general and cardiac toxicity profiles of DTS-201 in mice, rats, and dogs, together with mass balance and antitumoral efficacy studies in rodents. Neprilysin and thimet oligopeptidase expression, two enzymatic activators of DTS-201, was also characterized in human breast and prostate tumor biopsies. Results: The target organs of DTS-201 toxicity in rodents and dogs are typically those of doxorubicin, albeit at much higher doses. Importantly, chronic treatment with DTS-201 proved to be significantly less cardiotoxic than with doxorubicin at doses up to 8-fold higher in rats. The mass balance study showed that [14C] DTS-201 does not accumulate in the body after intravenous administration. The improved therapeutic index of DTS-201 compared with free doxorubicin was confirmed in three tumor xenograft models of prostate, breast, and lung cancer. Neprilysin and/or thimet oligopeptidase are expressed in all experimental human tumor types thus far tested as well as in a large majority of human breast and prostate tumor biopsies. Conclusion: DTS-201 gave promising results in terms of general toxicity, cardiovascular tolerance, and in vivo efficacy in xenograft mouse models compared with free doxorubicin. Taken together, these results and the confirmation of the presence of activating enzymes in human tumor biopsies provide a strong rationale for a phase I clinical study in cancer patients.
