Abstract:
525 Background: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status can be used to identify patients who are eligible for treatment with DNA damaging agents. Using a 3-biomarker Genomic Instability Score (GIS) threshold of ≥42, studies have previously examined the association between HRD status and outcomes in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, evidence suggests that a GIS threshold of ≥33 may be more appropriate. Here, we conducted an exploratory analysis evaluating the ability of ≥33 and ≥42 GIS thresholds to predict response to platinum-based treatment in patients with TNBC. Methods: Patients across 5 cohorts (TBCRC030 1 , TBCRC008 2 , NCT01372579 3 , PrECOG 0105 4 , combined cisplatin cohort 4 ) were included in this analysis if they had a primary TNBC diagnosis, received neoadjuvant platinum-based treatment, had a valid GIS, and had known pathologic complete response (pCR) status. GIS was determined by a combination of loss of heterozygosity, telomeric-allelic imbalance, and large-scale state transitions. 4,5 BRCA mutation status was defined by loss of function resulting from a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV), were calculated by comparing binary threshold status and binary pCR status. Results: A total of 204 tumors (158 BRCAwt; 33 BRCAm; 13 unknown) were included; pCR to platinum-based treatment occurred in 55 cases (39 BRCAwt; 14 BRCAm; 2 unknown). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were comparable between the ≥33 and ≥42 GIS thresholds, with the ≥33 threshold producing higher sensitivity values. This was true when thresholds were applied to all samples and to BRCAwt samples only (Table). Among patients who achieved pCR in response to platinum-based treatment, 5.5% of patients in the full cohort and 7.7% of those in the BRCAwt cohort had a GIS between 33-41. Conclusions: To ensure that the majority of patients likely to benefit from treatment are identified, a GIS of ≥33 may be the most appropriate threshold to predict response to platinum-based treatment in patients with TNBC; however, a prospective trial will be needed to confirm these findings. Additional studies will be important to determine whether this threshold may be appropriate to determine eligibility for other DNA-damaging agents such as PARP inhibitors. 1.
