    Abstract: Background: Mutations in KRAS are among the most frequent oncogenic drivers with the G12C mutation found in up to ~13% of NSCLC. LY3537982 is an oral, highly selective, and potent inhibitor of KRAS G12C, which preclinically delivers & gt;90% sustained target occupancy. We present the initial results from LOXO-RAS-20001, a phase 1 study of LY3537982 in patients (pts) with KRAS G12C-mutant advanced solid tumors (NCT04956640). Methods: LY3537982 monotherapy dose escalation followed a mTPI-2 method. Dose expansion cohorts included combinations with pembrolizumab (NSCLC) and cetuximab (CRC). Key objectives were to determine the RP2D of LY3537982, safety, PK, and antitumor activity per RECIST v1.1. Results: As of 17 August 2022, 56 pts with NSCLC (16), CRC (17), PANC (8), and other tumor types (15) were treated with LY3537982 monotherapy on doses from 50-200 mg BID. Median number of prior systemic therapies was 2 (range, 0-8). No DLTs were observed, MTD was not reached, and RP2D determination is ongoing. Median time on treatment was 3 months (range, 0.3-13), 33 pts are ongoing, and 23 pts discontinued (none due to a related AE). TEAEs observed in ≥10% of pts were diarrhea (38%), constipation (16%), fatigue (16%), peripheral oedema (13%), and nausea (11%), mostly grade 1. The only grade ≥3 treatment related AE was neutropenia (n=1), and no pneumonitis or grade ≥2 transaminitis was observed. There were no treatment related serious AEs or deaths. Dose proportional steady-state exposures were observed through 150 mg BID. Table shows preliminary efficacy data. Conclusions: LY3537982 demonstrated a favorable safety profile, including the absence of high-grade liver toxicity, and tolerance in pts previously intolerant to other KRAS G12C inhibitors. Preliminary efficacy was observed with LY3537982 monotherapy across multiple tumor types. Updated data in more than 100 pts, including data in combination with pembrolizumab and cetuximab will be presented.

    Abstract: Genetic and epigenetic alterations in the Wnt signaling pathway leading to constitutive activation of the driver oncogene Β-catenin occur in at least 20% of all human cancers. We have developed conformationally hyperstabilized α-helical peptides (Helicons) that bind directly to Β-catenin with picomolar affinity and block its interaction with TCF transcription factors. We describe here the characterization of anti-tumor efficacy, pharmacodynamic biomarkers and mechanism of action using multiple in vivo patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models treated with Helicons. Helicon treatment leads to dose-dependent anti-tumor effects and durable regressions in PDX models from multiple indications with Wnt pathway activating mutations. Anti-tumor responses are seen in the presence of additional driver mutations, including KRAS and PIK3CA. RNA-sequencing and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis confirm Helicon treatment inhibits both Wnt/Β-catenin and MYC-regulated gene sets. Inhibiting Β-catenin-TCF interaction with Helicons represents a first-in-class therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancers resulting from aberrant transcriptional signaling via Β-catenin.

    Abstract: The CRISPR/Cas9 system enables genome editing and somatic cell genetic screens in mammalian cells. We performed genome-scale loss-of-function screens in 33 cancer cell lines to identify genes essential for proliferation/survival and found a strong correlation between increased gene copy number and decreased cell viability after genome editing. Within regions of copy-number gain, CRISPR/Cas9 targeting of both expressed and unexpressed genes, as well as intergenic loci, led to significantly decreased cell proliferation through induction of a G2 cell-cycle arrest. By examining single-guide RNAs that map to multiple genomic sites, we found that this cell response to CRISPR/Cas9 editing correlated strongly with the number of target loci. These observations indicate that genome targeting by CRISPR/Cas9 elicits a gene-independent antiproliferative cell response. This effect has important practical implications for the interpretation of CRISPR/Cas9 screening data and confounds the use of this technology for the identification of essential genes in amplified regions. Significance: We found that the number of CRISPR/Cas9-induced DNA breaks dictates a gene-independent antiproliferative response in cells. These observations have practical implications for using CRISPR/Cas9 to interrogate cancer gene function and illustrate that cancer cells are highly sensitive to site-specific DNA damage, which may provide a path to novel therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract: Activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway promotes antitumor immunity but STING agonists have yet to achieve clinical success. Increased understanding of the mechanism of action of STING agonists in human tumors is key to developing therapeutic combinations that activate effective innate antitumor immunity. Here, we report that malignant pleural mesothelioma cells robustly express STING and are responsive to STING agonist treatment ex vivo. Using dynamic single-cell RNA sequencing of explants treated with a STING agonist, we observed CXCR3 chemokine activation primarily in tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts, as well as T-cell cytotoxicity. In contrast, primary natural killer (NK) cells resisted STING agonist–induced cytotoxicity. STING agonists enhanced migration and killing of NK cells and mesothelin-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-NK cells, improving therapeutic activity in patient-derived organotypic tumor spheroids. These studies reveal the fundamental importance of using human tumor samples to assess innate and cellular immune therapies. By functionally profiling mesothelioma tumor explants with elevated STING expression in tumor cells, we uncovered distinct consequences of STING agonist treatment in humans that support testing combining STING agonists with NK and CAR-NK cell therapies.

    Abstract: The programmed cell death protein 1 receptor (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) coinhibitory pathway suppresses T-cell–mediated immunity. We hypothesized that cotargeting of PD-1 and PD-L1 with a bispecific antibody molecule could provide an alternative therapeutic approach, with enhanced antitumor activity, compared with monospecific PD-1 and PD-L1 antibodies. Here, we describe LY3434172, a bispecific IgG1 mAb with ablated Fc immune effector function that targets both human PD-1 and PD-L1. LY3434172 fully inhibited the major inhibitory receptor–ligand interactions in the PD-1 pathway. LY3434172 enhanced functional activation of T cells in vitro compared with the parent anti–PD-1 and anti–PD-L1 antibody combination or respective monotherapies. In mouse tumor models reconstituted with human immune cells, LY3434172 therapy induced dramatic and potent antitumor activity compared with each parent antibody or their combination. Collectively, these results demonstrated the enhanced immunomodulatory (immune blockade) properties of LY3434172, which improved antitumor immune response in preclinical studies, thus supporting its evaluation as a novel bispecific cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract: Background: Immunobiological factors may, in part, contribute to racial disparities in prostate cancer (PCa), the second leading cause of cancer-related death for US men. African American (AA) men face a greater risk of developing PCa and having a poorer outcome of this disease, compared to Caucasian American (CA) men. The goal of this study is to identify immune-specific differences influencing PCa health disparity as well as PCa progression. Methods: Ex vivo tumor biopsies were obtained following radical prostatectomy (RP) from 51 treatment-naïve patients (26 AA, 25 CA) under approved IRB protocols. Total RNA from fresh frozen tissue was isolated and amplified by PCR using NanoString multiplexed target enrichment protocols. We evaluated differences in resulting transcripts by self-reported race, pathology, and other clinical and pathologic features. Relative abundances of immune cell subsets were determined using computational methods, including previously published deconvolution algorithms, to estimate cellular content. Results: We identified differentially expressed genes between AA and CA tumors that are characterized by genes regulating Natural Killer (NK) cell function and Wnt signaling cancer pathways. Among the entire cohort, high expression of two of these differentially expressed genes, DVL2 and MAP3K5, were associated with worse biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free and metastasis-free survival. No difference in immune cell abundance was observed by self-reported race. Strikingly, among the entire cohort, low abundance of intratumoral mast cells was also associated with worse PCa pathology and poorer BCR-free and metastasis-free survival. Conclusions: Using a race-matched military cohort, we found that AA and CA tumors differ in the expression levels of Wnt and NK signaling-related pathways, yet cellular estimations of immune abundance did not significantly differ. Remarkably, the level of mast cell abundance within tumors at time of RP may be protective and prolong BCR-free and metastasis-free survival of patients. These types of in-depth immune profiling assessments have the potential to guide precision medicine and treatment decisions in the clinic.

    Abstract: Background: Health and racial disparities in prostate cancer place African American (AA) men at greater risk of developing and having a poorer outcome from the disease, especially at a younger age compared to Caucasian American (CA) men. This incidence is also reflected among active-duty service members, and patient biospecimens obtained from an equal access healthcare setting at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center provide a valuable resource for the evaluation of cancer health disparities. The objectives of this study are to identify immunobiological differences influencing prostate cancer disparities and to elucidate the immune cell profiles of patient tumors associated with advanced disease. Methods: Patients provided written consent to both biospecimen and clinical database collection under IRB-approved protocols. Fresh frozen tumor biopsy tissues were collected ex vivo, following radical prostatectomy. Total tumor RNA was amplified by PCR-based multiplexed target enrichment, and barcode-tagged transcripts were quantified using NanoString technology. Raw and relative abundances of immune cells were determined using published deconvolution algorithms. Differential expression of immune-related genes and cell type contrasts were evaluated for correlation with clinico-pathologic features. Results: Genes regulating metabolism and innate immune responses were differentially expressed between AA and CA prostate tumors (AA n=26, CA n=25). Comparing high vs. low expression of each of these top genes, two were associated with biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival. Most immune cell subtypes did not differ significantly between AA and CA, but mast cells appeared to be enriched within AA tumors. When cell types were stratified by clinical and pathologic variables, we identified consistent trends in immune cell content that changed with increasing diagnostic age, PSA group, Grade Group, Gleason Sum, and with disease progression as defined by future development of BCR and/or metastasis. Conclusions: Attention should be directed toward observed immunobiological differences based on race and other clinico-pathologic factors at the time of radical prostatectomy. Patient-centered studies mindful of existing health disparities will aid in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that are inclusive of an increasingly diverse US and US military population.

    Abstract: Background: Detection of MRD is an important predictor of patient outcome following treatment of B-ALL; importantly, MRD is emerging as a useful tool to detect early relapse, which may fulfill a key previously unmet clinical need. Objective: To evaluate the potential of MRD to predict morphologic relapse in pediatric and AYA patients with B-ALL. Methods: Bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) specimens at screening (pre-tisagenlecleucel infusion), post-infusion, and relapse from two B-ALL clinical trials (ELIANA [NCT02435849] and ENSIGN [NCT02228096] ) were tested using immunoglobulin next-generation sequencing (IgNGS) and flow cytometry (FC). We assessed concordance between two MRD assays to determine which method could support early relapse detection and whether using PB with IgNGS was comparable with BM testing with FC. Results: IgNGS was performed in 300 samples from 88 patients. 237 samples from 83 patients also had FC MRD results available. Baseline samples, which had high disease burden, showed 100% MRD concordance between both assays. However, post-treatment, where the leukemic burden was dramatically reduced, IgNGS detected a greater number of MRD-positive samples vs FC at each sensitivity level tested (10-4, 10-5, and 10-6). At the highest sensitivity level of 10-6, IgNGS was able to detect 18% more MRD-positive post-treatment samples. IgNGS was able to detect MRD positivity 1-4 months ahead of clinical relapse in a small number of relapsed patients, whether relapse was CD19+ or CD19-. MRD burden in BM was higher than in PB using both FC and IgNGS. In patients with matching data available, IgNGS was able to detect more MRD-positive PB samples than FC MRD-positive BM samples. Patients who were MRD negative by both IgNGS and FC at the end of first month post-infusion had better progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with those with detectable MRD. Tumor clonality at baseline and clonal evolution following tisagenlecleucel treatment will be presented. Conclusion: MRD detection using IgNGS in PB may be used as a surrogate for FC assessment of MRD in BM. Patients who were MRD negative by IgNGS 1 month after infusion had improved PFS and OS vs those with detectable MRD; ongoing studies will provide further information on the applicability of IgNGS MRD detection and its association with long-term outcome in tisagenlecleucel-treated pediatric and AYA relapsed/refractory B-ALL patients.

    Abstract: Introduction: DNA damage repair genes (DDRGs) play a critical role in genomic stability and their dysfunction contributes to mutagenesis in several cancer types. In prostate cancer (CaP) emerging data provide potential roles of DDR pathways in aggressive disease. However, the association with disease progression and therapeutic stratification based on inherited mutations of DDRGs remains to be defined in African American (AA) CaP patients. Our objective was to genomically profile all known annotated DDRGs in AA and Caucasian American (CA) CaP patient to determine whether DDRG germline variation status can refine patient stratification for targeted therapeutic options. Methods: Germline mutations in all DDRGs (N=276) was evaluated by whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis of archived blood DNA samples from 600 CaP patients (300 AA and 300 CA) who underwent primary treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The WGS mean coverage exceeded 37x. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used infer axes of genetic variation within AA men and examine individual and population clustering to predict ancestry of each sample using the Peddy program. Variant frequencies in CPDR CaP patients were compared to variant frequencies available from the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) control cases with no CaP by Fisher's Exact Test, using false discovery rate adjusted p-values. Results: Interrogation of the complete known DDRG set of 276 genes revealed several known and novel mutations in this cohort. The Pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant carrier rate was higher than reported before (23.5%) in both AA and CA patients. However, the analysis revealed that more than 2/3 of the identified 47 DDRGs with P/LP mutation were different between AA and CA patients. Unlike in CA patients, several RAD family genes (RAD51, RAD54L, RAD54B), PMS2, and BRCA1 were among the most frequently mutated DDRGs in AA patients, but not in CA patients. The most frequent (over 1% carrier frequency) and potentially targetable type of mutations were independently validated by ddPCR. These genes are part of targetable DDRG pathways (homologous recombination and mismatch repair), suggesting that targeted therapy could potentially benefit AA patients. AA men harbor more potentially targetable DDRG germline mutations (over 10%) than CA men which may contribute to addressing CaP disparity. Germline mutations in any of the DDRG genes was associated with shorter time to BCR (Kaplan-Meier analysis, log rank p value 0.044) in AA patients, but not in CA patients. Conclusion: Our findings highlight distinct racial differences in DDRGs and addresses the clinical utility by targeted therapy across AA and CA men. The percentage of patients with DDRG germline variation is of suitable threshold (23%) to consider early genetic testing for them in both AA and CA patients.

    Abstract: We assessed minimal residual disease (MRD) detection and B-cell aplasia after tisagenlecleucel therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to define biomarkers predictive of relapse (N = 143). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) MRD detection & gt;0 in bone marrow (BM) was highly associated with relapse. B-cell recovery [signifying loss of functional chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells] within the first year of treatment was associated with a hazard ratio (HR) for relapse of 4.5 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.03–9.97; P & lt; 0.001]. Multivariate analysis at day 28 showed independent associations of BMNGS-MRD & gt;0 (HR = 4.87; 95% CI, 2.18–10.8; P & lt; 0.001) and B-cell recovery (HR = 3.33; 95% CI, 1.44–7.69; P = 0.005) with relapse. By 3 months, the BMNGS-MRD HR increased to 12 (95% CI, 2.87–50; P & lt; 0.001), whereas B-cell recovery was not independently predictive (HR = 1.27; 95% CI, 0.33–4.79; P = 0.7). Relapses occurring with persistence of B-cell aplasia were largely CD19− (23/25: 88%). Detectable BMNGS-MRD reliably predicts risk with sufficient time to consider approaches to relapse prevention such as hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or second CAR-T cell infusion. Significance: Detectable disease by BMNGS-MRD with or without B-cell aplasia is highly predictive of relapse after tisagenlecleucel therapy for ALL. Clonotypic rearrangements used to follow NGS-MRD did not change after loss of CD19 or lineage switch. High-risk patients identified by these biomarkers may benefit from HCT or investigational cell therapies. See related commentary by Ghorashian and Bartram, p. 2.
