Relationship between ERCC1 polymorphisms, disease progression, and survival in the Gynecologic Oncology Group Phase III Trial of intraperitoneal versus intravenous cisplatin and paclitaxel for stage III epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We hypothesized that common polymorphisms in excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1), involved in nucleotide excision repair of platinum-induced damage, would be associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in women with optimally resected, stage III epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated with cisplatin and paclitaxel (C+P).

Patients and methods

Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis was carried out by direct pyrosequencing at two sites (codon 118 and C8092A) in ERCC1 in leukocyte DNA from women who participated in the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) phase III protocol-172 and were randomly assigned to intraperitoneal or intravenous C+P.

Results

ERCC1 genotyping was performed in 233 of the 429 women who participated in GOG-172. The genotype distribution at codon 118 was 17% with C/C, 43% with C/T, and 40% with T/T, and the genotype distribution at C8092A was 56% with C/C, 37% with C/A, and 7% with A/A. Adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed that the codon 118 polymorphism in ERCC1 was not significantly associated with disease progression or death. Women with the C8092A C/A or A/A genotypes compared with the C/C genotype had an increased risk of disease progression (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.44; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.94; P = .018) and death (HR = 1.50; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.09; P = .018). Median PFS and OS were 6 and 17 months shorter for women with the C8092A C/A or A/A genotypes versus the C/C genotype, respectively.

Conclusion

Although the ERCC1 codon 118 polymorphism does not seem to be associated with clinical outcome, the C8092A polymorphism was an independent predictor of PFS and OS in women with optimally resected EOC.

Project description:Breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) is a tumour-suppressor gene associated with familial epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Reduced BRCA1 expression is associated with enhanced sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy. We sought to examine the prognostic relevance of BRCA1 expression in EOC patients treated with intraperitoneal platinum/taxane.The GOG-172 was a phase III, multi-institutional randomised trial of intravenous paclitaxel and cisplatin (IV therapy) vs intravenous paclitaxel, intraperitoneal cisplatin plus paclitaxel (IP therapy) in patients with optimally resected stage III EOC. The BRCA1 expression was assessed with immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining blinded to clinical outcome in archival tumour specimens. Slides with 10% staining were defined as aberrant and >10% as normal. Correlations between BRCA1 expression and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analysed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis.Of the 393 patients, 189 tumours had aberrant expression, and 204 had normal BRCA1 expression. There was an interaction between BRCA1 expression and route of administration on OS (P=0.014) but not PFS (P=0.054). In tumours with normal BRCA1 expression, the median OS was 58 months for IP group vs 50 months for IV group (P=0.818). In tumours with aberrant BRCA1 expression, the median OS was 84 vs 47 months in the IP vs IV group, respectively (P=0.0002). Aberrant BRCA1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for better survival in women randomised to IP therapy (hazard ratio (HR)=0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.47-0.97, P=0.032). Similar survival was observed in the IV and IP patients with normal BRCA1 expression. Multivariate but not univariate modelling demonstrated that IV patients with aberrant vs normal BRCA1 expression had worse survival.Decreased BRCA1 expression is associated with a 36-month survival improvement in patients with EOC treated with IP chemotherapy. Although these results merit validation in future studies, the results suggest that decreased BRCA1 expression predicts for improved response to cisplatin-based IP chemotherapy with cisplatin and paclitaxel.
