Prognostic and Predictive Gene Signature for Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Resected Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The JBR.10 trial demonstrated benefit from adjuvant cisplatin/vinorelbine (ACT) in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesized that expression profiling may identify stage-independent subgroups who might benefit from ACT. Patients and Methods: Gene expression profiling was conducted on mRNA from 133 frozen JBR.10 tumor samples (62 observation [OBS], 71 ACT). The minimum gene set that was selected for the greatest separation of good and poor prognosis patient subgroups in OBS patients was identified. The prognostic value of this gene signature was tested in four independent published microarray data sets and by quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results: A 15-gene signature separated OBS patients into high-risk and low-risk subgroups with significantly different survival (hazard ratio [HR], 15.02; 95% CI, 5.12 to 44.04; P .001; stage I HR, 13.31; P .001; stage II HR, 13.47; P .001). The prognostic effect was verified in the same 62 OBS patients where gene expression was assessed by qPCR. Furthermore, it was validated consistently in four separate microarray data sets (total 356 stage IB to II patients without adjuvant treatment) and additional JBR.10 OBS patients by qPCR (n 19). The signature was also predictive of improved survival after ACT in JBR.10 high-risk patients (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.63; P .0005), but not in low-risk patients (HR, 3.67; 95% CI, 1.22 to 11.06; P = .0133; interaction P .001). Significant interaction between risk groups and ACT was verified by qPCR. Conclusion: This 15-gene expression signature is an independent prognostic marker in early-stage, completely resected NSCLC, and to our knowledge, is the first signature that has demonstrated the potential to select patients with stage IB to II NSCLC most likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin/vinorelbine.

Project description:Background: Accurate survival stratification in early-stage NSCLC could inform the use of adjuvant therapy. We developed a clinically-implementable mortality risk score incorporating distinct tumor microenvironmental gene expression signatures and clinical variables. Methods: Gene expression profiles from 1106 non-squamous NSCLCs were used for generation and internal validation of a 9-gene molecular prognostic index (MPI). Expression of the MPI genes was determined within sorted tumor cell subpopulations. A quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was developed and validated on an independent cohort of FFPE tissues. A prognostic score using clinical variables was generated using Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data and combined with the MPI. Results: The MPI stratified stage I patients into prognostic categories in four independent validation datasets, including three microarray and one FFPE qPCR cohorts (HR=2.4, 95% CI, 1.8-3.3, P=7x10-9 in the largest microarray cohort; and HR=2.5, 95% CI 1.1-6.0, P=.03 in stage I patients of the qPCR validation cohort). Prognostic genes were expressed in distinct tumor cell subpopulations and expression of genes implicated in cellular proliferation and stem cells portended poor outcomes, while expression of genes involved in normal lung differentiation and immune infiltration was associated with superior survival. Integrating the MPI with clinical variables conferred greatest prognostic power (HR=3.3, 95% CI 2.4-4.6; P=2x10-15 in the largest microarray cohort; and HR=3.6, 95% CI 1.5-8.8, P=.003 in stage I patients of the qPCR validation cohort). Finally, the MPI was prognostic irrespective of somatic alterations in EGFR, KRAS, TP53, and ALK. Conclusion: The MPI incorporates genes expressed in the tumor and its microenvironment, and designates risk of death for patients with early-stage non-squamous NSCLC. The MPI can be implemented clinically using qPCR assays on FFPE tissues and a composite model integrating the MPI with clinical variables provides the most accurate risk stratification.

Project description:Introduction: Effective predictive biomarkers for selection of patients benefiting from adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are needed. Based on a previously validated methodology, molecular profiles of predicted sensitivity in two patient cohorts are presented. Methods: The profiles are correlations between in vitro sensitivity to cisplatin and vinorelbine and baseline mRNA expression of the 60 cell lines in the National Cancer Institute panel. An applied clinical samples filter focused the profiles to clinically relevant genes. The profiles were tested on 1) snap-frozen tumors from 133 patients with completely resected stage 1B-2 NSCLC randomized to adjuvant cisplatin and vinorelbine (ACV, n=71) or no adjuvant treatment (OBS, n=62) [GSE14814] and 2) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) pre-treatment tumors from 95 patients with completely resected stage 1A-3B NSCLC receiving adjuvant cisplatin and vinorelbine. Results: The combined cisplatin and vinorelbine profiles showed: 1) univariate Hazard Ratio (HR) for sensitive versus resistant of 0.265 (95% CI:0.079-0.889, p=0.032) in the ACV cohort and a HR of 0.28 in a multivariate model (95% CI:0.08-1.04, p=0.0573); 2) significant prediction at 3 year survival from surgery in univariate (HR=0.138 (95% CI:0.035-0.537), p=0.004) and multivariate analysis (HR=0.14 (95% CI:0.030-0.6), p=0.0081). No discrimination was found in the OBS cohort (HR=1.328, p=0.60). The cisplatin predictor alone had similar figures with 1) univariate HR of 0.37 (95% CI:0.12-1.15, p=0.09) in the ACV cohort and 2) univariate HR of 0.14 (95% CI:0.03-0.59, p=0.0076) to three years. Functional analysis on the cisplatin profile revealed a group of upregulated genes related to RNA splicing as a part of DNA damage repair and apoptosis. Conclusions: Profiles derived from snap-frozen and FFPE NSCLC tissue were prognostic and predictive in the patients that received cisplatin and vinorelbine but not in the cohort that did not receive adjuvant treatment.

Project description:Importance: Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a highly lethal disease with a 3-month mortality up to 50%. Corticosteroids are the current standard of care although nearly 40% of the patients do not respond and accurate pre-treatment predictors of survival are lacking. Objective: To develop a prognostic score based on molecular and clinical variables before initiation of corticosteroids. Design, Setting, and Participants: Gene expression profiling of fixed liver biopsy obtained for diagnosis of severe AH assessed in 3 independent cohorts (1 prospective cohort for prognostic gene signature and integrative score derivation, and 2 retrospective cohorts for validation). Samples were obtained from 4 European and 1 US medical centers between July 2006 and February 2015. Exposures: Biopsy proven severe AH patients treated with corticosteroids. Main Outcome Measures: Identification of a gene signature combined with a validated clinical index to develop an integrative prognostic score of survival without death or liver transplantation in a derivation cohort (n=71). Prognostic performance of the score was validated in an independent multi-center validation cohort 1 (n=48). Finally, the score was implemented in an FDA-approved clinical diagnostic platform (NanoString) and tested in another independent validation cohort 2 (n=20). Results: A prognostic score, integrating a 123-gene signature and the model for end-stage liver disease (gs-MELD score), was defined in the derivation cohort, in which poor- and good-prognosis patients were discriminated with a cut-off value of 2.66 at 3 months (event-free survival rates of 32% vs. 76%, respectively, p<.001) and 6 months (26% vs. 65%, respectively, p<.001). In the validation cohort 1, the score similarly discriminated poor- and good-prognosis patients at 3 months (43%, [95% CI, 26%-70%] vs. 96% [95% CI, 89%-100%], respectively, p<.001, c-index of 0.83 [95% CI, 0.66-0.99]) and 6 months (34% [95% CI, 18%-61%] vs 84% [95% CI, 72%-100%], respectively, p<.001, c-index of 0.80 [95% CI, 0.66-0.94]), and outperformed other existing clinical indices. The NanoString-based gs-MELD score remained predictive of 3- (p=.03) and 6-month (p=.009) even-free survival in the validation cohort 2. Conclusion and Relevance: The gs-MELD score, incorporating clinically applicable gene signature test and the MELD score, enables pre-treatment survival prediction in severe AH patients.
