    Abstract: Objective: Cancer mortality rates for African Americans in South Carolina are among the highest in the nation. However, African Americans are less likely than other groups to participate in cancer clinical trials. Results of previous investigations have shown that their low participation rates are related to negative perceptions of trials. We conducted a community based cancer clinical trials education intervention to improve perceptions of cancer clinical trials in this population. Methods: The study was conducted at eight different sites in six counties in South Carolina. The intervention consisted of a 30-minute cancer clinical trials educational presentation developed by the National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute. The intervention was part of a larger 3.5-hour education program aimed at increasing general cancer knowledge, prostate cancer knowledge, and perceived self efficacy in patient-physician interaction among minority populations in South Carolina. Study participants were recruited by community partners in each locale where the training sessions were conducted. A pre- and post-intervention survey was administered immediately before and after the intervention was delivered at each site. The survey instrument included seven items. Sample items include the following: Do you think that patients should be asked to take part in medical research? Would you be prepared to take part in a study comparing different treatments? Would you be prepared to take part in a study where treatment was chosen at random? Results: The study sample consisted of 164 predominantly African American participants. One-hundred and twenty-five (78.6%) of the 159 participants who provided data on race were African American, 19 (12.0%) were Caucasian and 15 (9.4%) were Native American. The majority of the 160 participants who provided data on age were ages 50+ years (62.5%). The majority of the 154 participants who reported their income had an annual household income & gt; = $40,000 (53.8%). For each of the seven survey items assessing perceptions of cancer clinical trials, 74%, 69%, 56%, 49%, 61%, 50% and 58% of the participants, respectively, changed to more favorable responses on the post-test vs. pre-test. All results were statistically significant at the p & lt;0.001 level. Conclusions: Providing cancer clinical trials information to African American community members positively influenced their trial perceptions. Future research could incorporate a longer follow-up assessment period. Citation Information: Cancer Prev Res 2010;3(1 Suppl):B23.

    Abstract: Purpose: The T790M gatekeeper mutation in the EGFR is acquired by some EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) as they become resistant to selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). As third-generation EGFR TKIs that overcome T790M-associated resistance become available, noninvasive approaches to T790M detection will become critical to guide management. Experimental Design: As part of a multi-institutional Stand-Up-To-Cancer collaboration, we performed an exploratory analysis of 40 patients with EGFR-mutant tumors progressing on EGFR TKI therapy. We compared the T790M genotype from tumor biopsies with analysis of simultaneously collected circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Results: T790M genotypes were successfully obtained in 30 (75%) tumor biopsies, 28 (70%) CTC samples, and 32 (80%) ctDNA samples. The resistance-associated mutation was detected in 47% to 50% of patients using each of the genotyping assays, with concordance among them ranging from 57% to 74%. Although CTC- and ctDNA-based genotyping were each unsuccessful in 20% to 30% of cases, the two assays together enabled genotyping in all patients with an available blood sample, and they identified the T790M mutation in 14 (35%) patients in whom the concurrent biopsy was negative or indeterminate. Conclusions: Discordant genotypes between tumor biopsy and blood-based analyses may result from technological differences, as well as sampling different tumor cell populations. The use of complementary approaches may provide the most complete assessment of each patient's cancer, which should be validated in predicting response to T790M-targeted inhibitors.

    Abstract: Clinical evidence indicates that treatment with estrogens elicits anticancer effects in ∼30% of patients with advanced endocrine-resistant estrogen receptor α (ER)-positive breast cancer. Despite the proven efficacy of estrogen therapy, its mechanism of action is unclear and this treatment remains underused. Mechanistic understanding may offer strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Experimental Design: We performed genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening and transcriptomic profiling in long-term estrogen-deprived ER+ breast cancer cells to identify pathways required for therapeutic response to the estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2). We validated findings in cell lines, patient-derived xenografts (PDX), and patient samples, and developed a novel combination treatment through testing in cell lines and PDX models. Results: Cells treated with E2 exhibited replication-dependent markers of DNA damage and the DNA damage response prior to apoptosis. Such DNA damage was partially driven by the formation of DNA:RNA hybrids (R-loops). Pharmacologic suppression of the DNA damage response via PARP inhibition with olaparib enhanced E2-induced DNA damage. PARP inhibition synergized with E2 to suppress growth and prevent tumor recurrence in BRCA1/2-mutant and BRCA1/2-wild-type cell line and PDX models. Conclusions: E2-induced ER activity drives DNA damage and growth inhibition in endocrine-resistant breast cancer cells. Inhibition of the DNA damage response using drugs such as PARP inhibitors can enhance therapeutic response to E2. These findings warrant clinical exploration of the combination of E2 with DNA damage response inhibitors in advanced ER+ breast cancer, and suggest that PARP inhibitors may synergize with therapeutics that exacerbate transcriptional stress.

    Abstract: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that can be divided into two classes: virus-positive (VP) MCC, associated with oncogenic Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV); and virus-negative (VN) MCC, associated with photodamage. Experimental Design: We classified 346 MCC tumors from 300 patients for MCPyV using a combination of IHC, ISH, and qPCR assays. In a subset of tumors, we profiled mutation status and expression of cancer-relevant genes. MCPyV and molecular profiling results were correlated with disease-specific outcomes. Potential prognostic biomarkers were further validated by IHC. Results: A total of 177 tumors were classified as VP-MCC, 151 tumors were VN-MCC, and 17 tumors were indeterminate. MCPyV positivity in primary tumors was associated with longer disease-specific and recurrence-free survival in univariate analysis, and in multivariate analysis incorporating age, sex, immune status, and stage at presentation. Prioritized oncogene or tumor suppressor mutations were frequent in VN-MCC but rare in VP-MCC. TP53 mutation developed with recurrence in one VP-MCC case. Importantly, for the first time we find that VP-MCC and VN-MCC display distinct sets of prognostic molecular biomarkers. For VP-MCC, shorter survival was associated with decreased expression of immune markers including granzyme and IDO1. For VN-MCC, shorter survival correlated with high expression of several genes including UBE2C. Conclusions: MCPyV status is an independent prognostic factor for MCC. Features of the tumor genome, transcriptome, and microenvironment may modify prognosis in a manner specific to viral status. MCPyV status has clinicopathologic significance and allows for identification of additional prognostic subgroups.

    Abstract: Patients diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, which is the absence of the estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and Her2/neu receptor have a poor prognosis and there is a critical need to develop novel antineoplastic agents for this breast cancer sub-type. Therefore, the focus of this project is to identify novel anticancer agents with in vitro and in vivo antiproliferative activity in a triple negative breast cancer model. Previously, our laboratory synthesized a group of novel isochalcones called DJ compounds that demonstrated significant in vitro antiproliferative effects. Cell proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells was measured using the alamar blue dye method and produced IC50 values of DJ52, DJ56, and DJ82 at 10−6M, 10−5M, and 10−5M, respectively. Binding studies have indicated that these agents do not bind the ER but appear to inhibit a phosphorylation step in the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) receptor pathway. In vivo studies were also conducted by implanting tumors derived from MDA-MB231 cells into SCID mice to determine tumor regression was measured over 20 days. DJ52 at 50mg/kg caused significant decrease (p value & lt;.05) decreased tumor volume by nearly fifty percent compared to the control with vehicle alone. Therefore, these data suggests that DJ52 has merit for further evaluation for potential intervention in patients diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Our laboratory continues our efforts to understand the mechanism of action of these agents to potentially provide alternative pharmacological options for these patients for better health outcomes.

    Abstract: Background: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to explore the efficacy of exercise as a nonpharmacologic intervention to reduce cancer-related fatigue (CRF) among adult cancer survivors. We also investigated how different components of the exercise prescription (Ex Rx), methodologic considerations, and subject characteristics modulate CRF. Methods: A systematic search for randomized controlled trials was conducted using words related to cancer, exercise, and fatigue. Results: In total, 44 studies with 48 interventions qualified, including 3,254 participants of varying cancer types, stages of diagnosis, treatments, and exercise interventions. Cancer survivors in exercise interventions reduced their CRF levels to a greater extent than usual care controls, d+ = 0.31 (95% CI = 0.22–0.40), an effect that appeared to generalize across several types of cancer. CRF levels improved in direct proportion to the intensity of resistance exercise (β = 0.60, P = 0.01), a pattern that was stronger in higher quality studies (β = 0.23, P & lt; 0.05). CRF levels also reduced to a greater extent when interventions were theoretically driven (β = 0.48, P & lt; 0.001) or cancer survivors were older (β = 0.24, P = 0.04). Conclusions: Exercise reduced CRF especially in programs that involved moderate-intensity, resistance exercise among older cancer survivors and that were guided by theory. Impact: Our results indicate exercise interventions for adult cancer survivors should be multi-dimensional and individualized according to health outcome and cancer type.

    Abstract: Background: Emerging data supports PARPi combinations, including PARPi with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), as effective therapies in TNBC. The Adaptive Multi-Drug Treatment of Evolving Cancers (AMTEC) trial (NCT03801369) is evaluating the PARPi + ICB combination of olaparib (ola) + durvalumab (durva) in mTNBC patients (pts). Deep profiling of paired pre- and on-ola monotherapy TNBC biopsies (Bx) is key to identifying: i) predictive biomarkers to select pts who will benefit from PARPi + ICB, and ii) resistance mechanisms that inform on other rational PARPi combinations. We report on biomarker characterization of paired Bxs from 18 AMTEC pts. Methods: AMTEC pts undergo a pre-ola Bx (Bx1), start one (28-day) cycle of ola monotherapy (300 mg BID), with a repeat on-ola Bx (Bx2) before adding durva (1500 mg Q4W) to ola. Profiling of DNA, RNA and protein signals in Bx1 and Bx2 using WES, RNAseq, RPPA, and spatially resolved single cell proteomics using cycIF and mIHC was correlated with clinical outcomes to identify predictors of ola + durva sensitivity, and adaptive resistance to PARPi therapy. Results: WES/RNAseq - TNBC subtype (Bx1) was a strong predictor of response, with basal immune activated (BLIA), luminal androgen receptor (LAR), and basal immune suppressed (BLIS) subtypes associated with mPFS of 8.7, 2.5, and 1.7 months, respectively (p & lt;0.05). MutSig3 signature in Bx1 (Yes = 7.4 mo vs. No = 2.5 mo; p & lt;0.05), or increases in IFN signaling in Bx2 (Yes = 6.6 mo vs. No = 2.2 mo; p & lt;0.05) were positive predictors of mPFS. RPPA - Change in PD-L1 expression on Bx2 (from Bx1) was a positive predictor (p & lt;0.05). RAS-MAPK pathway activation in Bx1 was predictive of a poor response (p & lt;0.05). mIHC - Two dominant immune cell groups were identified: 1) T cell enriched, and 2) hypoinflammed. On Bx1, most pts in the T cell enriched group achieved a partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD), whereas pts in the hypoinflammed group all had progressive disease (PD, p=0.04). On Bx2, all pts in the T cell enriched group were PR or SD, whereas PD pts comprised the hypoinflammed group (p=0.06). Conclusions: Findings highlight the value of paired Bxs to identify predictive biomarkers of PARPi + ICB sensitivity. Emerging resistance mechanisms justify amending AMTEC to a PARPi biomarker-driven trial evaluating ola in combination with durva, selumetinib (MEKi), or capivasertib (AKTi). Citation Format: Zahi I.
