Predictive genomic markers of response to VEGF targeted therapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:First-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is rapidly changing. It currently includes VEGF targeted therapies (TT), multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), mTOR inhibitors, and immunotherapy. To optimize outcomes for individual patients, genomic markers of response to therapy are needed. Here, we aim to identify tumor-based genomic markers of response to VEGF TT to optimize treatment selection. METHODS:From an institutional database, primary tumor tissue was obtained from 79 patients with clear cell mRCC, and targeted sequencing was performed. Clinical outcomes were obtained retrospectively. Progression-free survival (PFS) on first-line VEGF TT was correlated to genomic alterations (GAs) using Kaplan-Meier methodology and Cox proportional hazard models. A composite model of significant GAs predicting PFS in the first-line setting was developed. RESULTS:Absence of VHL mutation was associated with inferior PFS on first-line VEGF TT. A trend for inferior PFS was observed with GAs in TP53 and FLT1 C/C variant. A composite model of these 3 GAs was associated with inferior PFS in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION:In mRCC, a composite model of TP53 mutation, wild type VHL, and FLT1 C/C variant strongly predicted PFS on first-line VEGF TT in a dose-dependent manner. These findings require external validation.

Project description:BackgroundTargeted therapy (TT) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) may be associated with a high rate of toxicity that undermines treatment efficacy and patient quality of life. Polymorphisms in genes involved in the pharmacokinetic pathways of TTs may predict toxicity.ObjectiveTo investigate whether selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in three core genes involved in the metabolism and transport of sunitinib and the mTOR inhibitors everolimus and temsirolimus are associated with adverse events (AEs).Design, setting, and participantsGermline DNA was extracted from blood or normal kidney tissue from mRCC patients of Caucasian ethnicity in two cohorts treated with either sunitinib (n=159) or mTOR inhibitors (n=62). Six SNPs in three candidate genes (CYP3A4: rs2242480, rs4646437, and rs2246709; CYP3A5: rs15524; and ABCB1: rs2032582 and rs1045642) were analyzed.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisPrimary endpoints were grade ≥3 AEs for all patients; grade ≥3 hypertension in the sunitinib cohort, and any grade pneumonitis in the mTOR inhibitors cohort. A logistic regression model was used to assess the association between SNPs and AEs, with adjustment for relevant clinical factors.Results and limitationsIn total, 221 samples were successfully genotyped for the selected SNPs. In the sunitinib cohort, the CYP3A4 rs464637 AG variant was associated with a lower risk of high-grade AEs (odds ratio 0.27, 95% confidence interval 0.08-0.88; p=0.03), but no SNPs were associated with hypertension. In the mTOR inhibitor cohort, none of the selected SNPs was associated with analyzed toxicities.ConclusionsWe observed an association between CYP3A4 polymorphisms and toxicity outcomes in mRCC patients treated with sunitinib, but not with everolimus or temsirolimus. Our findings are exploratory in nature, and further validation in independent and larger cohorts is needed.Patient summaryWe found that variants of CYP3A4, a gene involved in drug metabolism, are associated with sunitinib toxicity. This information may help in better selection of patients for targeted therapies in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
