Genetic variants of GADD45A, GADD45B and MAPK14 predict platinum-based chemotherapy-induced toxicities in Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: The JNK and P38? pathways play a crucial role in tissue homeostasis, apoptosis and autophagy under genotoxic stresses, but it is unclear whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes in these pathways play a role in platinum-based chemotherapy-induced toxicities in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We genotyped 11 selected, independent, potentially functional SNPs of nine genes in the JNK and P38? pathways in 689 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with platinum-combination chemotherapy regimens. Associations between these SNPs and chemotherapy toxicities were tested in a discovery group of 345 patients and then validated in a replication group of 344 patients. In both discovery and validation groups as well as their pooled analysis, carriers of GADD45B rs2024144T variant allele had a significantly higher risk for severe hematologic toxicity and carriers of MAPK14 rs3804451A variant allele had a significantly higher risk for both overall toxicity and gastrointestinal toxicity. In addition, carriers of GADD45A rs581000C had a lower risk of anemia, while carriers of GADD45B rs2024144T had a significantly higher risk for leukocytopenia or agranulocytosis. The present study provides evidence that genetic variants in genes involved in the JNK and P38? pathways may predict platinum-based chemotherapy toxicity outcomes in patients with advanced NSCLC. Larger studies of other patient populations are needed to validate our findings.

Project description:Background Platinum-based chemotherapy (PC) and immunotherapy plus platinum-based chemotherapy (IPC) remain the first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC. But only a minority patients benefit from PC, and existing biomarkers, such as PD-L1, have been shown to be defective in predicting the efficacy of IPC. Highlighting the need to identify novel biomarkers for the efficacy of PC and IPC. DNA damage repair (DDR) mutations are known to predict response to PC in solid tumors. However, the predictive value of DDR in PC and IPC of NSCLC remains unclear. Methods Patients diagnosed with advanced or metastatic NSCLC were retrospectively included if they underwent next generation sequencing prior to starting treatment. Primary endpoints were to explore whether DDR mutations (DDRmut) are associated with clinical outcomes of PC and IPC. Secondary end point were to explore the association between DDRmut and the choice to add immunotherapy to chemotherapy, and the impact of different DDR pathways on efficacy in PC and IPC. Results DDRmut showed a strong association with tumor mutation burden-high (TMB-H) versus DDR wild-type (DDRwt) and higher rates of PD-L1 TPS ≥50% positivity. In 63 patients treated with PC, ORRs were 15.38% and 2.86% for DDRmut and DDRwt subgroup (P=0.1536), and DCRs were 88.46% and 45.72% (P=0.00097) at 6 months after PC. The DDRmut patients had significantly improved median PFS (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) than DDRwt group (mPFS: 7.6 vs. 3.9 months, HR =1.93, 95% CI: 1.09 to 3.14, P=0.0220. mOS: 29.9 vs. 20.7 months, HR =2.31, 95% CI: 1.09 to 4.9, P=0.0250). Moreover, among 37 patients treated with IPC, ORRs were 45% and 11.76% for DDRmut and DDRwt patients (P=0.0365), and the DCRs were 95% and 70.58% (P=0.0752), respectively at 6 months after IPC. The DDRmut patients had significantly improved mPFS compared to the DDRwt group (19.5 vs. 4.5 months, HR =3.28, 95% CI: 1.53 to 9.56, P=0.0022). In DDRmut group, mPFS of IPC recipients was significantly better than that of PC recipients (19.5 vs. 7.6 months, HR =2.09, 95% CI: 0.98 to 4.42, P=0.050). Conclusions There is potential for DDR to serve as a positive predictor of PC and IPC in advanced NSCLC patients.
