ABSTRACT: Background
Molecular profiling of gliomas is vital to ensure diagnostic accuracy, inform prognosis, and identify clinical trial options for primary and recurrent tumors. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of reporting the whole arm 1p19q codeletion status from the FoundationOne platform.Methods
Testing was performed on glioma samples as part of clinical care and analyzed up to 395 cancer-associated genes (including IDH1/2). The whole arm 1p19q codeletion status was predicted from the same assay using a custom research-use only algorithm, which was validated using 463 glioma samples with available fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) data. For 519 patients with available outcomes data, progression-free and overall survival were assessed based on whole arm 1p19q codeletion status derived from sequencing data.Results
Concordance between 1p19q status based on FISH and our algorithm was 96.7% (449/463) with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% and a positive percent agreement (PPA) of 91.0%. All discordant samples were positive for codeletion by FISH and harbored genomic alterations inconsistent with oligodendrogliomas. Median overall survival was 168 months for the IDH1/2 mutant, codeleted group, and 122 months for IDH1/2 mutant-only (hazard ratio (HR): 0.42; P < .05).Conclusions
1p19q codeletion status derived from FoundationOne testing is highly concordant with FISH results. Genomic profiling may be a reliable substitute for traditional FISH testing while also providing IDH1/2 status.

Project description:A "Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs" (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net). In high grade gliomas, 1p19q codeletion and EGFR amplification are mutually exclusive and predictive of dramatically different outcomes. We performed a microarray gene expression study of four high grade gliomas with 1p19q codeletion and nine with EGFR amplification, identified by CGH-array. The two groups of gliomas exhibited very different gene expression profiles and were consistently distinguished by unsupervised clustering analysis. One of the most striking differences was the expression of normal brain genes by oligodendrogliomas with 1p19q codeletion. These gliomas harbored a gene expression profile that partially resembled the gene expression of normal brain samples, whereas gliomas with EGFR amplification expressed many genes in common with glioblastoma cancer stem cells. The differences between the two types of gliomas and the expression of neuronal genes in gliomas with 1p19q codeletion were both validated in an independent series of 16 gliomas using real-time RT-PCR with a set of 22 genes differentiating the two groups of gliomas (AKR1C3, ATOH8, BMP2, C20orf42, CCNB1, CDK2, CHI3L1, CTTNBP2, DCX, EGFR, GALNT13, GBP1, IGFBP2, IQGAP1, L1CAM, NCAM1, NOG, OLIG2, PDPN, PLAT, POSTN, RNF135). Immunohistochemical study of the most differentially expressed neuronal gene, alpha-internexin, clearly differentiated the two groups of gliomas, with 1p19q codeletion gliomas showing specific staining in tumor cells. These findings provide evidence for neuronal differentiation in oligodendrogliomas with 1p19q codeletion and support the hypothesis that the cell of origin for gliomas with 1p19q codeletion could be a bi-potential progenitor cell, able to give rise to both neurons and oligodendrocytes.

Project description:Patients with lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) have highly diverse clinical outcomes. Although histological features and molecular markers have been used to predict prognosis, the identification of new biomarkers for the accurate prediction of patient outcomes is still needed. The serine synthesis pathway (SSP) is important in cancer metabolism. There are three key regulators, including phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH), and phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), in SSP. However, their clinical importance in LGGs is still unknown. In this study, we used the bioinformatics tool in the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) website to examine the prognostic significance of PHGDH, PSPH, and PSAT1 genes in LGGs. PSAT1 gene expression was then identified as a potential biomarker candidate for LGGs. Datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) were further used to explore the prognostic role of PSAT1 gene. Our results demonstrated that PSAT1 overexpression is a favorable prognostic marker of LGGs and significantly correlated with patient age ≤40, and a lower WHO histological grade, as well as mutations in IDH1, TP53 and ATRX, but not with chromosome 1p19q codeletions. More importantly, LGG patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations, chromosome 1p19q codeletions, and PSAT1 overexpression may have the best overall survival (five-year survival rate: 100%). Finally, we observed a coordinated biological reaction between IDH1 mutations and PSAT1 overexpression, and suggested overexpression of PSAT1 might enhance the function of mutant IDH1 to promote a favorable outcome in LGG patients. In conclusion, our study confirmed the importance of identifying the overexpression of PSAT1 as a favorable prognostic marker of LGGs, which may compensate for the limitation of IDH1 mutations and chromosome 1p19q codeletion in the prognostication of LGGs.

Project description:FoundationOne®CDx (F1CDx) is a United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved companion diagnostic test to identify patients who may benefit from treatment in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling for 28 drug therapies. F1CDx utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) technology to examine 324 cancer genes in solid tumors. F1CDx reports known and likely pathogenic short variants (SVs), copy number alterations (CNAs), and select rearrangements, as well as complex biomarkers including tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI), in addition to genomic loss of heterozygosity (gLOH) in ovarian cancer. CGP services can reduce the complexity of biomarker testing, enabling precision medicine to improve treatment decision-making and outcomes for cancer patients, but only if test results are reliable, accurate, and validated clinically and analytically to the highest standard available. The analyses presented herein demonstrate the extensive analytical and clinical validation supporting the F1CDx initial and subsequent FDA approvals to ensure high sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of the data reported. The analytical validation included several in-depth evaluations of F1CDx assay performance including limit of detection (LoD), limit of blank (LoB), precision, and orthogonal concordance for SVs (including base substitutions [SUBs] and insertions/deletions [INDELs]), CNAs (including amplifications and homozygous deletions), genomic rearrangements, and select complex biomarkers. The assay validation of >30,000 test results comprises a considerable and increasing body of evidence that supports the clinical utility of F1CDx to match patients with solid tumors to targeted therapies or immunotherapies based on their tumor's genomic alterations and biomarkers. F1CDx meets the clinical needs of providers and patients to receive guideline-based biomarker testing, helping them keep pace with a rapidly evolving field of medicine.

Project description:BackgroundImplementation of personalized medicine requires the accessibility of tumor molecular profiling in order to allow prioritization of appropriate targeted therapies for individual patients. Our aim was to study the role of comprehensive genomic profiling assays that may inform treatment recommendations for patients with solid tumors.Materials and methodsWe performed a prospective study to evaluate the feasibility of application of the FoundationOne CDx panel-which detects substitutions, insertions and deletions, and copy number alterations in 324 genes, select gene rearrangements, and genomic signatures including microsatellite instability and tumor mutation burden (TMB)-to patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors before its approval in Japan.ResultsA total of 181 samples were processed for genomic testing between September 2018 and June 2019, with data being successfully obtained for 175 of these samples, yielding a success rate of 96.7%. The median turnaround time was 41 days (range, 21-126 days). The most common known or likely pathogenic variants were TP53 mutations (n = 113), PIK3CA mutations (n = 33), APC mutations (n = 32), and KRAS mutations (n = 29). Among the 153 patients assessed for TMB, the median TMB was 4 mutations/Mb, and tumors with a high TMB (≥10 mutations/Mb) were more prevalent for lung cancer (11/32) than for other solid tumor types (9/121, Fisher's exact test p < .01). No clear trend toward increased efficacy for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy or ICI combination chemotherapy in patients with a high programmed cell death-ligand 1 tumor proportion score or a high TMB was apparent. Among the 174 patients found to harbor known or likely pathogenic actionable alterations, 24 individuals (14%) received matched targeted therapy.ConclusionThe FoundationOne CDx assay was performed with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens with a success rate of >95%. Such testing may inform the matching of patients with cancer with investigational or approved targeted drugs.Implications for practiceThis prospective cohort study was initiated to investigate the feasibility and utility of clinical application of FoundationOne CDx. A total of 181 samples were processed for genomic testing between September 2018 and June 2019, with data being successfully obtained for 175 of these samples, yielding a success rate of 96.7%, and 24 individuals (14%) received matched targeted therapy.

Project description:BackgroundLower-grade gliomas (LGGs, defined as WHO grades II and III) with 1p19q codeletion have increased chemosensitivity when compared to LGGs without 1p19q codeletion, but the mechanism is currently unknown.MethodsRNAseq data from 515 LGG patients in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed to compare the effect of expression of the 9 DNA repair genes located on chromosome arms 1p and 19q on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between patients who received chemotherapy and those who did not. Chemosensitivity of cells with DNA repair genes knocked down was tested using MTS cell proliferation assay in HS683 cell line and U251 cell line.ResultsThe expression of 9 DNA repair genes on 1p and 19q was significantly lower in 1p19q-codeleted tumors (n = 175) than in tumors without the codeletion (n = 337) (p < 0.001). In LGG patients who received chemotherapy, lower expression of LIG1, POLD1, PNKP, RAD54L and MUTYH was associated with longer PFS and OS. This difference between chemotherapy and non-chemotherapy groups in the association of gene expression with survival was not observed in non-DNA repair genes located on chromosome arms 1p and 19q. MTS assays showed that knockdown of DNA repair genes LIG1, POLD1, PNKP, RAD54L and MUTYH significantly inhibited recovery in response to temozolomide when compared with control group (p < 0.001).ConclusionsOur results suggest that reduced expression of DNA repair genes on chromosome arms 1p and 19q may account for the increased chemosensitivity of LGGs with 1p19q codeletion.

Project description:BackgroundOligodendroglioma is genetically defined by concomitant IDH (IDH1/IDH2) mutation and whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion. Codeletion of 1p/19q traditionally evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) cannot distinguish partial from whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion. Partial 1p/19q codeletion called positive by FISH is diagnostically a "false-positive" result. Chromosomal microarray (CMA) discriminates partial from whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion. Herein, we aimed to estimate the frequency of partial 1p/19q codeletion that would lead to a false-positive FISH result.MethodsFISH 1p/19q codeletion test probe coordinates were mapped onto Oncoscan CMA data to determine the rate of partial 1p/19q codeletion predicted to be positive by FISH. Diffuse astrocytic gliomas with available CMA data (2015-2018) were evaluated and classified based on IDH1-R132H/ATRX/p53 immunohistochemistry, IDH/TERT promoter targeted sequencing, and/or CMA according to classification updates. Predicted false-positive cases were verified by FISH whenever possible.ResultsThe overall estimated false-positive FISH 1p/19q codeletion rate was 3.6% (8/223). Predicted false positives were verified by FISH in 6 (of 8) cases. False-positive rates did not differ significantly (P = .49) between IDH-mutant (4.6%; 4/86) and IDH-wildtype (2.9%; 4/137) tumors. IDH-wildtype false positives were all WHO grade IV, whereas IDH-mutant false positives spanned WHO grades II-IV. Testing for 1p/19q codeletion would not have been indicated for most false positives based on current classification recommendations.ConclusionSelective 1p/19q codeletion testing and cautious interpretation for conflicting FISH and histopathological findings are recommended to avoid potential misdiagnosis.

Project description:As availability of precision therapies expands, a well-validated circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA)-based comprehensive genomic profiling assay has the potential to provide considerable value as a complement to tissue-based testing to ensure potentially life-extending therapies are administered to patients most likely to benefit. Additional data supporting the clinical validity of cfDNA-based testing is necessary to inform optimal use of these assays in the clinic. The FoundationOne®Liquid CDx assay is a pan-cancer cfDNA-based comprehensive genomic profiling assay that was recently approved by FDA. Validation studies included >7,500 tests and >30,000 unique variants across >300 genes and >30 cancer types. Clinical validity results across multiple tumor types are presented. Additionally, results demonstrated a 95% limit of detection of 0.40% variant allele fraction for select substitutions and insertions/deletions, 0.37% variant allele fraction for select rearrangements, 21.7% tumor fraction for copy number amplifications, and 30.4% TF for copy number losses. The limit of detection for microsatellite instability and blood tumor mutational burden were also determined. The false positive variant rate was 0.013% (approximately 1 in 8,000). Reproducibility of variant calling was 99.59%. In comparison with an orthogonal method, an overall positive percent agreement of 96.3% and negative percent agreement of >99.9% was observed. These study results demonstrate that FoundationOne Liquid CDx accurately and reproducibly detects the major types of genomic alterations in addition to complex biomarkers such as microsatellite instability, blood tumor mutational burden, and tumor fraction. Critically, clinical validity data is presented across multiple cancer types.

Project description:BackgroundThe 1p19q non-codeleted gliomas with IDH mutation, defined as "molecular astrocytomas," display frequent TP53 mutations and have an intermediate prognosis. We investigated the prognostic impact of copy number-neutral loss of heterozygosity (CNLOH) in 17p in this population.MethodsWe analyzed 793 gliomas (206 grade II, 377 grade III, and 210 grade IV) by single nucleotide polymorphism array and for TP53 mutations.ResultsHomodisomy revealed by CNLOH was observed in 156 cases (19.7%). It was more frequent in astrocytomas and oligoastrocytomas (98/256, 38%) than oligodendrogliomas (28/327, 8.6%; p < .0001) or glioblastoma multiforme (30/210, 14.3%; p < .0001), tightly associated with TP53 mutation (69/71 vs. 20/79; p = 2 × 10(-16)), and mutually exclusive with 1p19q codeletion (1/156 vs. 249/556; p < .0001). In the group of IDH-mutated 1p19q non-codeleted gliomas, CNLOH 17p was associated with longer survival (86.3 vs. 46.2 months; p = .004), particularly in grade III gliomas (overall survival >100 vs. 37.9 months; p = .007). These data were confirmed in an independent dataset from the Cancer Genome Atlas.ConclusionCNLOH 17p is a prognostic marker and further refines the molecular classification of gliomas.Implications for practiceHomodisomy of chromosome 17p (CNLOH 17p) is a frequent feature in IDH-mutated 1p19q non-codeleted gliomas (group 2). It is constantly associated with TP53 mutation. It was found, within this specific molecular group of gliomas (corresponding to molecular astrocytomas), that CNLOH 17p is associated with a much better outcome and may therefore represent an additional prognostic marker to refine the prognostic classification of gliomas.
