Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) Score Predicts Response to Platinum-Containing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

BRCA1/2-mutated and some sporadic triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) have DNA repair defects and are sensitive to DNA-damaging therapeutics. Recently, three independent DNA-based measures of genomic instability were developed on the basis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI), and large-scale state transitions (LST).

Experimental design

We assessed a combined homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score, an unweighted sum of LOH, TAI, and LST scores, in three neoadjuvant TNBC trials of platinum-containing therapy. We then tested the association of HR deficiency, defined as HRD score ≥42 or BRCA1/2 mutation, with response to platinum-based therapy.

Results

In a trial of neoadjuvant platinum, gemcitabine, and iniparib, HR deficiency predicted residual cancer burden score of 0 or I (RCB 0/I) and pathologic complete response (pCR; OR = 4.96, P = 0.0036; OR = 6.52, P = 0.0058). HR deficiency remained a significant predictor of RCB 0/I when adjusted for clinical variables (OR = 5.86, P = 0.012). In two other trials of neoadjuvant cisplatin therapy, HR deficiency predicted RCB 0/I and pCR (OR = 10.18, P = 0.0011; OR = 17.00, P = 0.0066). In a multivariable model of RCB 0/I, HR deficiency retained significance when clinical variables were included (OR = 12.08, P = 0.0017). When restricted to BRCA1/2 nonmutated tumors, response was higher in patients with high HRD scores: RCB 0/I P = 0.062, pCR P = 0.063 in the neoadjuvant platinum, gemcitabine, and iniparib trial; RCB 0/I P = 0.0039, pCR P = 0.018 in the neoadjuvant cisplatin trials.

Project description:ObjectiveThe choice of chemotherapeutic regimen for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains controversial. Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) has attracted increasing attention in informing chemotherapy treatment. This study was aimed at investigating the feasibility of HRD as a clinically actionable biomarker for platinum-containing and platinum-free therapy.MethodsChinese patients with TNBC who received chemotherapy between May 1, 2008 and March 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed with a customized 3D-HRD panel. HRD positivity was defined by an HRD score ≥ 30 or deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation. A total of 386 chemotherapy-treated patients with TNBC were screened from a surgical cohort (NCT01150513) and a metastatic cohort, and 189 patients with available clinical and tumor sequencing data were included.ResultsIn the entire cohort, 49.2% (93/189) of patients were identified as HRD positive (40 with deleterious BRCA1/2 mutations and 53 with BRCA1/2 intact with an HRD score of ≥ 30). In the first-line metastatic setting, platinum therapy was associated with longer median progression-free survival (mPFS) than platinum-free therapy [9.1 vs. 3.0 months; hazard ratio (HR), 0.43; 95% confidence interval 0.22-0.84; P = 0.01]. Among HRD-positive patients, the mPFS was significantly longer in those treated with platinum rather than platinum-free therapy (13.6 vs. 2.0 months; HR, 0.11; P = 0.001). Among patients administered a platinum-free regimen, HRD-negative patients showed a PFS significantly superior to that of HRD-positive patients (P = 0.02; treatment-biomarker P-interaction = 0.001). Similar results were observed in the BRCA1/2-intact subset. In the adjuvant setting, HRD-positive patients tended to benefit more from platinum chemotherapy than from platinum-free chemotherapy (P = 0.05, P-interaction = 0.02).ConclusionsHRD characterization may guide decision-making regarding the use of platinum treatment in patients with TNBC in both adjuvant and metastatic settings.

Project description:BackgroundNeoadjuvant immunotherapy is emerging as novel effective intervention in lung cancer, but study to unearth effective surrogates indicating its therapeutic outcomes is limited. We investigated the genetic changes between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with varied response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy and discovered highly potential biomarkers with indicative capability in predicting outcomes.MethodsIn this study, 3 adenocarcinoma and 11 squamous cell carcinoma NSCLC patients were treated by neoadjuvant immunotherapy with variated regimens followed by surgical resection. Treatment-naive FFPE or fresh tissues and blood samples were subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES). Genetic alternations were compared between differently-responded patients. Findings were further validated in multiple public cohorts.ResultsDNA damage repair (DDR)-related InDel signatures and DDR-related gene mutations were enriched in better-responded patients, i.e., major pathological response (MPR) group. Besides, MPR patients exhibited provoked genome instability and unique homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) events. By further inspecting alternation status of homology-dependent recombination (HR) pathway genes, the clonal alternations were exclusively enriched in MPR group. Additionally, associations between HR gene alternations, percentage of viable tumor cells and HRD event were identified, which orchestrated tumor mutational burden (TMB), mutational intratumor heterogeneity (ITH), somatic copy number alteration (SCNA) ITH and clonal neoantigen load in patients. Validations in public cohorts further supported the generality of our findings.ConclusionsWe reported for the first time the association between HRD event and enhanced neoadjuvant immunotherapy response in lung cancer. The power of HRD event in patient therapeutic stratification persisted in multifaceted public cohorts. We propose that HR pathway gene status could serve as novel and additional indicators guiding immune-neoadjuvant and immunotherapy treatment decisions for NSCLC patients.
