    Abstract: 5063 Background: ATM mutations, one of a family of DNA repair defects prevalent in prostate cancer, have been included in a list of actionable mutations for PARP inhibitor (PARPi) therapeutic trials. Despite preclinical evidence, PARPi have shown minimal clinical activity in ATM mutant prostate cancer (ATMmPCa). The present analysis explores co-occurring genomic alterations that may drive outcomes of metastatic PCa (mPCa) patients with tumors harboring ATM mutations and provide clues for understanding therapy resistance and potential targets. Methods: This study included molecular profiling analysis of 1375 cases of mPCa. Tumors were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS), whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Caris Life Sciences, Phoenix, AZ). dMMR/MSI-H status was determined by IHC, NGS, and fragment analysis and tumor mutational burden (TMB) was calculated based on somatic nonsynonymous missense mutations. We performed differential gene expression analysis of HR-associated transcripts such as ATR, PARP1-3, RAD50, RAD51A/B/C/D and RAD54. Significance was determined using the ꭓ 2 test and Benjamini-Hochberg method. Results: Fifty-nine (4.2%) cases harbored pathogenic ATM mutations, 84 (6.2%) harbored BRCA2 mutations. 1018 tumors (74%) were deemed homologous recombination proficient (HRP) and 155 tumors (11.3%) were HR Deficient (HRD); harboring one or more mutation in HR-related genes excluding ATM and BRCA2. The mutation rate of TP53 was significantly lower in ATMmPCa (12.0%) compared to BRCA2mPCa (35%), HRD (35%) and HRP (46.6%) tumors. ATMmPCa showed higher rates of SMAD2 (3.7%/1%) and FLCN (5.2%/0.3%) alterations compared to HRP cases. PARP1 and RAD51D gene expression was reduced in ATMmPCa compared to HRP (p 〈 0.05) and BRCA2mPCa ( p 〈 0.05) tumors, respectively. No differences in gene expression levels were detected for ATR, PARP2, PARP3, RAD50, and RAD54. Chromosomal segments demonstrating differential CNA in ATMmPCa vs HRP, HRD, or BRCA2mPCa included FGF19, FGF4, PTPN11, ALDH2, DAXX, BCL7A, CCND1, BMPR1A and MEF2B (Q-value 〈 0.05 determined by ꭓ 2 ). The most common CNA in ATMmPCa was CCND1, present in approximately 13% (7/55) of cases. Compared to BRCA2mPCa and HRD cases, ATMmPCa cases are less likely to display markers of immunotherapy response such as dMMR/MSI-H or TMB ≥10 mutations/MB. Conclusions: ATMmPCa demonstrated several differences in co-occurring alterations compared to BRCA2mPCa, HRD and HRP mPCa. ATMmPCa tumors were less likely to harbor alterations in TP53 compared to BRCA2, HRD or HRP tumors. CNA in ATMmPCa occurred in 9 genes across distinct mPCa molecular subtypes and were enriched for those associated with the 11q13 amplicon harboring Cyclin D1. The FGF and PTPN11 related pathways are potentially targetable pathways in ATMmPC and may merit further study.

    Abstract: 562 Background: Recent data suggest that patients with liver metastases (mets) are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibition (CPI) independent of historical biomarkers of CPI efficacy, raising the question of whether liver mets may be associated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). We investigated the immune TME of hepatic and non-hepatic mets compared to primary tumors in advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) tissue samples. Methods: NextGen sequencing (NGS) of DNA (592-gene/whole exome) and RNA (whole transcriptome) from UC tissue samples (N=4746) was performed at Caris Life Sciences (Phoenix, AZ). Immune cell infiltration was estimated by RNA expression deconvolution (MCP-counter). PD-L1 expression (SP142: immune cell stain ≥ 5%; 22c3: CPS ≥ 10) was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Deficient mismatch repair/high microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H) was tested by IHC/NGS. Real-world overall survival (OS) information was obtained from insurance claims data and Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated. Mann–Whitney U and X 2 /Fischer-Exact tests were applied where appropriate, with p-values adjusted for multiple comparisons (Benjamini-Hochberg). *P 〈 0.05. Results: UC samples included 3158 (66.5%) from primary site, 1344 (28.3%) from non-hepatic mets, and 244 (5.1%) from hepatic mets. Compared to primary tumors, hepatic mets had decreased CD8 + T and B cells (0.55* and 0.29-fold*) but increased monocytic lineage cells (1.23-fold*), while non-hepatic mets had increased CD8 + T, NK, and monocytic lineage cells (1.28*, 1.27*, 1.31-fold*) with no difference in B cells (1.05-fold). Hepatic mets had decreased expression of integrin LFA-1/ ITGAL (0.77-fold*), as well as hyaluronic acid (HA) receptor CD44 and synthase HAS2 (0.61 and 0.61-fold*), compared to primary tumors, whereas expression of these genes and LFA-1 ligand ICAM1 was increased in non-hepatic mets (1.08 to 1.30-fold*). Hepatic mets had increased expression of immunosuppressive cytokines CCL2 and CXCL2 (1.72* and 2.32-fold*) and decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines CCL5 and CXCL10 (0.63* and 0.79-fold*) compared to primary tumors. PD-L1+ IHC was less frequent in hepatic mets compared to primary tumors and non-hepatic mets. TMB-High (≥10 mut/MB) and dMMR/MSI-H rates were similar across tumor sites. Hepatic mets (N=40) were associated with worse OS from the start of pembrolizumab compared to non-hepatic mets (N=177) (19.6 vs 4.4 months, HR 3.01, 95% CI 1.91-4.75, p 〈 0.0001). Conclusions: This is the largest analysis of hepatic and non-hepatic met TMEs compared to primary tumor in advanced UC. Lower PD-L1 expression and differences in immune TME composition in liver mets may contribute to CPI resistance. Further analysis is warranted to determine underlying molecular mechanisms resulting in a TME that reduces response to CPI for patients with UC and liver mets.

    Abstract: 465 Background: UTUC is a rare genitourinary malignancy and a number of studies, limited by small sample sizes, have attempted to characterize its mutational landscape. Because immunotherapy is commonly used for this disease type, we evaluated the prevalence of microsatellite instability and characterized the mutational landscapes of UTUC in a large contemporary patient cohort. Methods: UTUC tumor samples were analyzed using next generation sequencing (NGS) (NextSeq, 592 gene panel) or whole exome sequencing (WES) (NovaSeq) (Caris Life Sciences, Phoenix, AZ). Mismatch repair status (deficient [dMMR] or proficient [pMMR] ) and microsatellite instability status (MSI-high or stable [MSS]) were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC), fragment analysis, and NGS. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was measured by counting all somatic mutations found per tumor (high cutoff ≥ 10 mutations per MB). PD-L1 expression was tested by IHC using PD-L1 antibody clones 22c3 (Agilent; positive cutoff CPS ≥ 10) and SP142 (Ventana; positive cutoff ≥ 5% IC). Pathogenic fusion events were detected using whole transcriptome sequencing (NovaSeq). Statistical significance was determined using the Chi-square test and adjusted for multiple comparison. Results: 538 patients with included – median (range) age 71.5 (30-89) years and 37.5% female/62.5% male. Prevalence of dMMR/MSI-H was 3.9% (21/538) and TMB-high was 22.7% (96/423). Significant molecular differences were not detected in primary vs metastatic disease or in male vs female cases. dMMR/MSI-H tumors had higher frequency of TMB-high compared to MSS tumors (100% vs. 19%, p = 0.00003). dMMR/MSI-H tumors also had a higher frequency than MSS tumors for mutations in genes involved in chromatin remodeling (ASXL 82.4%, CREBBP 60%, SMARCA4 40%, KMT2D 95%, ARIDIA 100%, KMT2A 20%, KMT2C 35.3%, NSD1 20%), DNA-damage repair (FANCG 10%, ATM 45%, ATRX 40%) and other biological pathways (RNF43 10%, PTCH1 21.4%, ERBB3 30%, CDKN2A 25%, TSC2 15%, FLNC 15%, HNF1A 20%, CIC 15%, DNMT3A 17.6%); all adjusted p 〈 0.05. Pathogenic fusions were detected in 3.8% (17/443) cases, with FGFR3 fusion being the most common, occurring in 2.7% (12/443) cases. PD-L1 positivity was identified in 33.2% (133/400) cases tested by 22c3 antibody and 28.4% (89/313) cases tested by SP142 antibody. No difference was seen in PD-L1 positivity between MSI-H/dMMR vs. MSS tumors. Conclusions: In the largest analysis to date, we found a 3.9% prevalence of dMMR/MSI-high rate in UTUC. All dMMR/MSI-H tumors displayed TMB-high. PD-L1 positivity was comparable between dMMR/MSI-H and MSS tumors. dMMR/MSI-H tumors had a significantly higher rate of mutations in genes involved in chromatin remodeling and DDR biological pathways. These results could inform design of targeted therapy trials in UTUC.

    Abstract: 4562 Background: The PAPMET trial demonstrated significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) with cabozantinib vs. sunitinib in advanced pRCC (median: 9.0 vs. 5.6 mos; hazard ratio (HR): 0.60; 95% CI 0.37–0.97). Until recently, pRCC was subclassified as type 1 vs. 2 based on histologic features. During conception of the PAPMET study, we hypothesized that patients with type 1 pRCC will derive more benefit from cabozantinib compared to those with type 2 disease, given enrichment of MET alterations in the former. In this secondary analysis, we report the outcomes stratified by histologic subtype per central review. Methods: Patients with advanced pRCC who had received up to 1 line of therapy were randomized to receive either sunitinib, or cabozantinib, crizotinib or savolitinib stratified by pRCC subtype (type 1, type 2 or not otherwise specified [NOS]). Pathologic data from local pathology review was catalogued. Central pathology review was conducted by 3 expert genitourinary pathologists who independently reviewed tumor specimens. Discordant opinions among these pathologists were individually arbitrated and a unified diagnosis was assigned. Central pathology review results were considered the true positive and the sensitivity, and the positive predictive value (PPV) of local review was estimated for histologic subtypes. Clinical outcomes (objective response rate (ORR) and PFS) were compared between histologic subtypes (by central review) in the cabozantinib and sunitinib arms. Results: Amongst the 147 patients with available local and central pathology review, 17.7% (n=26), 53% (n=78) and 29.3% (n=43) were characterized as having type 1, 2 or NOS/mixed pRCC by local review compared to 29.3% (n=43), 45.6% (n=67) and 25.2% (n=37) respectively by central review. Individual cases were frequently reclassified and local pathology review demonstrated low sensitivity (type 1: 49%, type 2: 67% and NOS: 43%) and PPV (type 1: 80%, type 2: 57% and NOS/mixed: 37%) across subtypes. During central review, complete agreement amongst the 3 pathologists was seen in only 33.3% (n=49) of cases and was highest in type 2 tumors (40%; n=27). Compared to sunitinib, cabozantinib demonstrated numerically higher ORR and PFS in both type 1 and type 2 pRCC subgroups. Conclusions: Designation of pRCC subtype by central review did not identify a subset of patients with greater clinical benefit from cabozantinib. Further, classification of subtype was challenged by discordance in both local and central review. Supporting the removal of type 1 and 2 designations from the 2022 WHO guidelines, these findings highlight the limited clinical value and significant challenges associated with subtyping of pRCC.

    Abstract: 6576 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are FDA approved for use in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), however, only ~20% patients achieve a response. Identification of biomarkers of response or toxicity remains a challenge. Polyfunctional T-cells, or T-cells producing multiple cytokines, have been recognized as contributors to durable immunity against various cancers. However, their role has not been studied prospectively in HNSCC patients receiving ICIs. To look for an early predictor of response, we used single-cell functional proteomic profiling (IsoPlexis) on blood samples pre- and post- first dose of nivolumab (nivo) in patients on our phase-II study of locally recurrent HNSCC (NCT03355560). Methods: HNSCC patients who failed definitive radiation +/-chemotherapy and were subsequently treated with curative intent salvage resection were enrolled to receive 6 months of nivo beginning 4 to 11 weeks after surgery. Blood samples were collected before and after the first dose of nivo. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated, enriched for CD8+ T cells and using the 32-plex IsoCode technology, single-cell cytokine signals were captured and polyfunctional strength of CD8+ T cells was evaluated across four groups (effector, stimulatory, regulatory, inflammatory). A comparison analysis was performed between pre- and post- nivo treatment and between patients who relapsed (non-responders) vs those who did not (responders). Results: Thirty-three of 39 planned patients have been enrolled, of which 28 are evaluable and 5/28 (18%) developed recurrence. Median age is 68 years (range 51-85), 9/28 (32%) patients are female, 26/28 (93%) are white, disease sites include oropharyngeal 6/28 (21%), oral cavity 11/28 (39%) and larynx 11/28 (39%). Samples were evaluated at a median follow up of 5.9 months from enrollment. Single-cell analysis demonstrated a strong upregulation of polyfunctional human CD8+ T cell subsets in responders. Polyfunctional Strength Index (PSI) was enhanced in CD8+ T cells across the responders’ samples, composed largely of effector cytokines (granzyme-β, IFN-γ, MIP-1α, perforin, TNF-α). Conclusions: Single-cell functional proteomic analysis revealed significantly upregulated polyfunctional profiles and an increase in effector cytokines in patients who responded to nivo. This data provides important insights into PD-1 inhibitor triggered T-cell activity and may be used to predict response to ICIs in HNSCC patients using a blood test. Clinical trial information: NCT03355560 .

    Abstract: e14273 Background: Cetuximab is a recombinant chimeric monoclonal IgG1 antibody which binds specifically to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and stimulates an innate immune response by promoting natural killer (NK) cell mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Cetuximab is approved as a single agent in relapsed/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). PD-1 check-point inhibitors which release the inhibition of the adaptive immune response, are also approved as single agents in this setting. However the response rates with these drugs, when used individually range from 10-20%. We hypothesized that adding a PD-L1 inhibitor, durvalumab to cetuximab would cause anti-tumor synergy by activating the innate as well as adaptive immune systems without compromising safety in this phase-2 trial in R/M HNSCC patients who have progressed on platinum based therapy. Methods: Blood samples were collected from the first six enrolled patients prior to starting treatment and 4 weeks after the first combined dose of cetuximab and durvalumab. PBMCs were isolated, stained with a live/dead stain as well as CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56, CD16 and NK2GD (natural killer group 2 member D activation receptor) antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. Cytokine levels in plasma were measured using standardized ELISA assay kits. Results: Compared to pre-treatment levels, post-treatment samples showed an increase in activated cytokine producing NK cells (CD56 bright /CD16-) in all but one patient. Activated cytotoxic NK cell subpopulations (CD56 dim /CD16+) showed variable results post-treatment. CD8+ T cells were similar pre and post-treatment in 5 patients. TGF-b levels increased in 5 patients and decreased in 1 patient post-treatment. Interestingly, the patient with decreased TGF-b levels post-treatment had an almost doubling of CD8+ T-cells and an increase in activated cytokine producing NK cells (CD56 bright /CD16-). Conclusions: The clinical trial is ongoing and therefore, comparison to clinical response has not yet been analyzed. However, these findings support the combination of cetuximab and durvalumab in R/M HNSCC given the activation of an NK-cell mediated innate immune response in these patient samples. Clinical trial information: NCT03691714.

    Abstract: 378 Background: Patients with localized or locally advanced ccRCC undergo surgical resection by partial or radical nephrectomy. Approximately 50% of tumors recur within five years after surgery. Currently the only FDA approved drug in the adjuvant setting is sunitinib. However, the absence of an overall survival benefit and the prevalence of side effects limit widespread use of sunitinib. Accurate identification of patients at high risk of recurrence would enhance targeted adjuvant therapy, while sparing low-risk patients from side effects. A single scoring system, transcriptomic signature or genomic classifier, is unlikely to accurately define prognosis. Here, we describe an integrated transcriptomic-metallomic classifier to assess the risk of relapse in localized ccRCC. Methods: We investigated the transcriptomic landscape of Caucasian male patients with stage III ccRCCs who remained disease free (S3DF) or relapsed (S3RL) within 24 months after surgery using the TCGA Firehose Legacy cohort. In a separate cohort of S3RL and S3DF ccRCCs, copper (Cu) content and molecular distribution were analyzed by size exclusion chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS). Results: Transcriptomic analysis identified that S3RL tumors were enriched for genes encoding subunits of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs), an indication that mitochondrial activity may contribute to the relapse. In contrast, S3DF tumors were enrichedfor genes related to immune responses, including genes encoding members ofMHC-II, suggesting tumor control by the immune system. We established a setof 23 genes (23G) as a signature that stratified ccRCCsinto distinct groups characterized by low, intermediateand high risk of relapse after surgery. Importantly, SEC-ICP-MS analysis identified augmented distribution of Cu to the Cu cytochrome c oxidase complex (Cu-COX) in tumor mitochondria from S3RL, consistent with the prediction of increased ETC activity in the transcriptomic analysis. Conclusions: Integration of the 23G transcriptomic signature and Cu-COX complex measurements in locoregional ccRCC can serve as a prognostic biomarker for recurrence, and as a predictive classifier for novel treatments, including inhibitors of ETC for the S3RL tumors. In particular, a combination classifier using both measurements may have a stronger prognostic/predictive power as compared to either biomarker alone.

    Abstract: 4529 Background: Oncology patients experience more severe disease outcomes from COVID-19 infection than the general population. BCG is a live bovine tuberculosis bacillus with immunotherapeutic effects in urothelial cancers; it is also used as vaccination against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in parts of the world. As BCG vaccination has been associated with broad protection against viral pathogens, BCG exposure through vaccination or intravesical therapy may modulate host immunity and reduce the severity of COVID-19 infection. We report the effect of BCG exposure on COVID-19 severity in oncology patients from the CCC19 registry. Methods: The CCC19 registry (NCT04354701) was used to identify patients with prior BCG exposure. Cohort A received intravesical treatment for bladder carcinoma, and cohort B received prior BCG vaccination. Each cohort was matched 3:1 to non-BCG-exposed controls by age, sex, race, primary cancer type, cancer status, ECOG performance status (PS) and calendar time of COVID-19 infection. The primary endpoint was COVID-19 severity reported on an ordinal scale (uncomplicated, hospitalized, admitted to ICU +/- ventilated, died within 30 days) of patients exposed to prior BCG compared to matched non-exposed controls. 2-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used. Results: As of 6-Feb-2021 we included 124 patients with BCG exposure, 68 patients with bladder carcinoma who had received intravesical BCG (Cohort A), and 64 cancer patients with prior BCG vaccination (Cohort B). Median age was 76 years, IQR 69-83 (Cohort A) and 67 years, IQR 62-74 (Cohort B). Bladder cancer pts were predominately male (78%) vs 55% for Cohort B. Patients with PS 2+ were uncommon, 18% in Cohort A and 16% in Cohort B. COVID-19 illness severity was no different in patients exposed to prior intravesicular BCG (p=0.87). COVID-19 illness severity was no different in patients exposed to prior intradermal BCG vaccination (p=0.60). Conclusions: Despite this being the largest such cohort reported to date, we failed to demonstrate an association of prior BCG exposure with modulation of severity of COVID-19 illness. Prospective trials evaluating the protective effect of BCG vaccination are ongoing and will add further insight into the effect of BCG on COVID-19 illness.[Table: see text]
