    Abstract: To develop a guideline to improve the accuracy of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing in invasive breast cancer and its utility as a predictive marker. Methods The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists convened an expert panel, which conducted a systematic review of the literature and developed recommendations for optimal HER2 testing performance. The guideline was reviewed by selected experts and approved by the board of directors for both organizations. Results Approximately 20% of current HER2 testing may be inaccurate. When carefully validated testing is performed, available data do not clearly demonstrate the superiority of either immunohistochemistry (IHC) or in situ hybridization (ISH) as a predictor of benefit from anti-HER2 therapy. Recommendations The panel recommends that HER2 status should be determined for all invasive breast cancer. A testing algorithm that relies on accurate, reproducible assay performance, including newly available types of brightfield ISH, is proposed. Elements to reliably reduce assay variation (for example, specimen handling, assay exclusion, and reporting criteria) are specified. An algorithm defining positive, equivocal, and negative values for both HER2 protein expression and gene amplification is recommended: a positive HER2 result is IHC staining of 3+ (uniform, intense membrane staining of 〉 30% of invasive tumor cells), a fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) result of more than six HER2 gene copies per nucleus or a FISH ratio (HER2 gene signals to chromosome 17 signals) of more than 2.2; a negative result is an IHC staining of 0 or 1+, a FISH result of less than 4.0 HER2 gene copies per nucleus, or FISH ratio of less than 1.8. Equivocal results require additional action for final determination. It is recommended that to perform HER2 testing, laboratories show 95% concordance with another validated test for positive and negative assay values. The panel strongly recommends validation of laboratory assay or modifications, use of standardized operating procedures, and compliance with new testing criteria to be monitored with the use of stringent laboratory accreditation standards, proficiency testing, and competency assessment. The panel recommends that HER2 testing be done in a CAP-accredited laboratory or in a laboratory that meets the accreditation and proficiency testing requirements set out by this document.

    Abstract: To describe the development and implementation of a new digital health clinical tool (Gynecologic Survivorship Tool [GST]) for symptom management of women surgically treated for gynecologic cancer; to assess its feasibility; and to conduct a retrospective review of the data. MATERIALS AND METHODS The GST was developed on the basis of a comprehensive review of the literature, multidisciplinary expert opinion, and feedback from women with a history of gynecologic cancer. It is composed of 17 questions addressing six main categories—gynecologic health (abnormal bleeding/pain), lymphedema, vaginal/vulvar dryness, sexual health, menopause (hot flushes/sleep difficulties), and bowel/urinary issues. An electronic version using the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Engage platform was piloted in two clinics for patients with endometrial or cervical cancer. Health information was generated into clinical summaries and identified concerns for actionable response. Associations of symptom and survey time point were assessed by longitudinal models using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS From January 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020, 3,357 GST assessments were assigned to 1,405 patients, with a 71% completion rate (90% within 5 minutes). Sixty-eight percent were performed at home via a patient portal, 32% at follow-ups using a clinic iPad. The most common symptoms were bowel problems, swelling/fluid, pain during examination, vaginal or vulvar dryness, and vaginal bleeding. Implementation challenges included improving patient compliance and ensuring that reports were reviewed by all clinical teams. We developed screening e-mails detailing patients whose assessments were due, planned training sessions for multidisciplinary teams, and incorporated feedback on methods for reviewing symptoms reports. CONCLUSION The GST demonstrated feasibility, a high completion rate, and minimal time commitment. It was an effective electronic reporting mechanism for patients, enabling the medical team to develop specific strategies for alleviating bothersome symptoms during follow-up.

    Abstract: Tumor immunosurveillance influences oncogenesis and tumor growth, but it remains controversial whether clinical failure of immunosurveillance is a result of lymphocyte dysfunction or tumor escape. In this study, our goal was to characterize the physiology of tumor immunosurveillance in children with high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NBL). Patients and Methods Immunohistopathologic studies were carried out on 26 tumor samples from a cohort of HR-NBL patients diagnosed at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for the 2-year period from May 2003 to May 2005. Blood from nine HLA-A2 + patients in this cohort was analyzed for T cells specific for the antiapoptotic protein survivin. Results Survivin protein was expressed by 26 of 26 tumors. In HLA-A2 + patients, circulating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for survivin were detected by peptide/major histocompatibility complex tetramer analysis in the blood of eight of nine children with HR-NBL at the time of diagnosis. Rather than being selectively rendered anergic in vivo, circulating survivin-specific CTLs were highly functional as shown by cytotoxicity and interferon gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assays in six of nine patients. Survivin-specific CD107a mobilization by T cells was found in five of five patients. By immunohistochemistry, tumor-infiltrating T cells were few or absent in 26 of 26 tumors. Conclusion Children with HR-NBL harbor robust cellular immune responses to the universal tumor antigen survivin at the time of diagnosis, but intratumoral T cells are strikingly rare, suggesting a failure of cellular immunosurveillance. Efforts to develop novel therapies that increase T-cell trafficking into tumor nests are warranted.

    Abstract: 4558 Background: Objective: To examine in a cohort of anti-PD-(L)1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICP) treated urothelial cancer patients a strategy combining treatment outcomes with molecular alterations, pathways, and immune/tumor microenvironment features to determine potential responder and rapid-progression signatures. Methods: De-identified clinical history and treatment outcomes were collected on 109 MIBC patients treated with ICP agents. Archived FFPE samples from these patients were obtained and processed for mRNAseq, exome-seq, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI) and mutation panel testing. Comprehensive tumor/immune profiling is being analyzed in the context of ICP treatments and RECIST 1.1 outcomes. A 60 gene MIBC 4-typer expression subtyper and other response associated predictors are used to stratify and identify positive/negative ICP response indicators. Results: 109 patients were identified (median age 75, 64% male, 78% white, 17% black). 74% of patients had received prior platinum-based chemotherapy, and 12% had received 2 or more prior lines of therapy. At initiation of ICP, 28% of patients had hemoglobin 〈 10, 30% had liver metastases, and 59% had ECOG performance status 〉 0. Mutation analysis of the first 66 patients showed TP53 (n = 34, 52%), FGFR (n = 17, 26%), CDKN2A (n = 13, 20%) and RB1 (n = 12, 18%) as the top alterations. No patients (0/8) with known pathogenic mutations in FGFR3 (S249C and TACC3-fusion) responded to ICP. Of patients with T2 staging prior to ICP (37/66), overall survival was markedly shorter (2.7 years) in those possessing FGFR3 mutations (n = 6/37) compared to that for FGFR3 WT patients (5.7 years, n = 31/37; p = 0.045). Further analyses of molecular features relative to treatment outcomes are ongoing to characterize response signatures. Conclusions: Our preliminary cohort of patients with pathogenic FGFR3 alterations showed 0% favorable response to ICP. We are expanding on this observation with further comprehensive molecular analyses and retrospective treatments/outcomes data. We anticipate identifying expression signatures that reflect ICP patient responder/non-responder signatures that may aid in future therapy decisions.

    Abstract: e16501 Background: High-dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) was the first approved immune-oncology (IO) agent based on proven clinical efficacy in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and metastatic melanoma, but its use was limited due to significant toxicities. Multiple next-generation IL-2 agents designed to retain efficacy while improving tolerability are in development. Yet, understanding of genomic markers that define optimized target pharmacology is incomplete. Newer evaluation techniques not available at the time of previous HD IL-2 experience may allow for identification of pertinent genomic markers. In this retrospective study, we report for the first time, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples from metastatic (mRCC) patients before, during and after HD IL-2 treatment. Detailed immunogenomic responses to HD IL-2 treatment with insight into traditional flow cytometry (FC) are presented. Methods: PBMC samples were collected for n = 23 HD IL-2 treated mRCC patients between 2009 and 2015 on Day 1, 3 and 5. Patient samples underwent prior FC analysis described elsewhere (Foureau et al, 2014; Cancer Immunol. Immunother. 63(12)). RNAseq was performed using NovaSeq6000 (Illumina) paired end sequencing on bulk PBMC samples from immediately before (Day 1), during (Day 3) and post-treatment (Day 5) Cycle 1 and/or Cycle 2 of the first course of HD IL-2. Individual genes and signatures for immune and proliferation differences were analyzed. Results: RNAseq analysis of PBMC samples demonstrated that CD8+ T cells transiently decreased in the blood during treatment but recovered to baseline on Day 5, and CD4 Treg cells increased on Day 3 and Day 5, which confirmed prior FC findings. TCR clonality was unchanged which indicates that T cell recovery and expansion is widespread and not driven by a specific subset of T cells. Additional notable insights included increased monocytes at Day 3, with the opposite for NK and B cells (Day 3 decrease and Day 5 expansion). Using a novel GeneCentric proliferation signature, increased expression was noted on Day 3 and Day 5 vs. Day 1, reflecting pronounced IL-2 induced proliferation. Conclusions: Immunogenomics provided further detail regarding IL-2 activity in addition to recapitulating several parameters from FC. Expression analysis of minimally invasive PBMC samples demonstrates the importance of this novel genomic approach to understand the pharmacology of IL-2 and related derivatives.

    Abstract: 98 Background: To assess the implementation and use of an electronic survivorship tool to enhance patient/clinician communication and intervention of survivorship concerns in women treated for gynecologic cancer. Methods: The clinical survivorship tool was developed using evidence-based data, multidisciplinary expert input, and patient feedback. The tool is composed of 17 questions encompassing 6 main categories: gynecologic health (abnormal bleeding/pain), lymphedema, vaginal/vulvar dryness, sexual health concerns, menopause (hot flushes, sleep difficulties), and bowel/urinary issues. The electronic tool was piloted and incorporated into clinic for endometrial and cervical cancer patients. Patients were introduced to the tool at their first postop visit and emailed an introduction form before their 3-month follow-up visit. The form could be completed at home or at the time of scheduled visit. Results: From 6/1/18 to 6/1/19, 1269 patients were eligible to complete at least one survivorship tool survey. Compliance rates increased over the year and reached 67% (1,015/1,525 assigned surveys completed) with the addition of clinic coordinator, staff and nurse training; the initiation of daily emails screening for survey respondents; clinic coordinator feedback and modification of screening emails; and the addition of nurses to daily screening emails. Of those who completed surveys between 01/1/19 and 06/1/19, the most common survivorship concerns noted were bowel (48%, n=484) and urinary function (35%,n=352) issues, menopausal symptoms such as trouble sleeping (33%, n=333) and hot flashes (25%, n=249), lower extremity symptoms (heaviness 17%, n=175; swelling 17%, n=171; numbness 17%, n=171), and vaginal dryness (26%, n=263), with actionable items of education and referrals, as needed. Conclusions: This survivorship tool enhanced the ability of healthcare providers to identify, monitor, and address survivorship concerns over the continuum of care. Patients and healthcare providers found this tool to be clinically feasible with potential to promote communication and education to enhance clinical care. Our multidisciplinary approach and training were key to implementation success.

    Abstract: Using a randomized prospective trial design, chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, vincristine, and mitomycin C (FOMi) was compared with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (CAP) and with FOMi alternating with CAP (FOMi/CAP) in 452 eligible patients with metastatic large-cell undifferentiated and adenocarcinoma of the lung. Objective responses were obtained in 26%, 17%, and 22% of patients treated with FOMi, CAP, and FOMi/CAP, respectively. The median survival was similar for FOMi, CAP, and FOMi/CAP therapies (20, 24, and 23 weeks, respectively), but the overall survival (log rank test), 1-year survival, and remission duration were longer for FOMi/CAP-treated patients. Survival was significantly longer for fully ambulatory FOMi/CAP-treated patients compared with either FOMi (P = .01) or CAP (P = .04). Younger patients treated with full doses of therapy responded more often than older patients receiving reduced drug doses (26% and 11%, respectively; P = .003). A prognostic factor regression analysis of all eligible patients indicates that sex, performance status, stage, and treatment assigned were important independent variables determining survival (P less than .05). Toxicity was comparable in each treatment group.
