Project description:The results from the randomized phase II BELOB trial provided evidence for a potential benefit of bevacizumab (beva; a humanized monoclonal antibody against circulating VEGF-A) when added to CCNU chemotherapy in recurrent GBM patients. In this study, we have performed gene expression profiling (DASL and RNA-seq) on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor material from patients treated within the BELOB trial to identify recurrent GBM patients who benefit most from combined beva/CCNU treatment. We first extensively validate the use of FFPE tissues for expression profiling on both DASL and RNA-seq. Our data show that tumors assigned to IGS-18 or ‘classical’ GBMs show a significant benefit in progression free survival (PFS) and a trend towards benefit in overall survival (OS) from beva+CCNU treatment; other subtypes do not show such benefit. In particular, expression of FMO4 and OSBPL3 were associated with treatment response. All molecular glioma subtypes are evenly distributed along the different study arms and the improved outcome in the beva/CCNU arm therefore is not explained by an uneven distribution of prognostically favorable subtypes. Analysis of RNA-seq data highlighted genetic changes, including mutations, gene fusions (and identification of the exact genomic breakpoint), and copy number changes (albeit with limited resolution) within this well-defined cohort of tumors. When validated in an independent dataset, the predictive markers identified in this study will allow selection of recurrent GBM patients that benefit from beva+CCNU treatment.

When validated in an independent dataset, the predictive markers identified in this study will allow selection of recurrent GBM patients that benefit from beva+CCNU treatment. A total of 112 samples of patients included in the Belob trial were profiled. Profiling was done in three batches (3 raw data files; Belob1, Belob2 and Belob3*.txt). Please note that several replicates were performed to demonstrate platform reproducibility on FFPE material (basically the entire first experiment, samples 1-10 described in the all_sample_description.txt). In addition, a few samples were scraped (macrodissection) as the original tissue block contained a too low tumor content (as indicated in the sample description field). These Samples omitted from the final analysis are marked with X at the end of the patient ID column (in the all_sample_description.txt). Also, Of the 117 individual patients, the following patient samples were excluded in the final analysis: B11, B57, B73, B91 and B59. These samples were outliers in the gene expression analysis and did not meet the quality criteria (their median overall expression was <7.5 (log2)). The complete sample description and raw data (of 135 samples) are provided in the all_sample_description.txt and Belob*French.txt files, however only 112 samples (included in the final data analysis) are included in this record.

Project description:MITO16/MaNGO-OV2 (NCT01706120) is a multicenter, phase IV, single arm trial for advanced stage IIIB-IV or recurrent, previously untreated, ovarian cancer patients receiving carboplatin, paclitaxel plus bevacizumab for six 3-weekly cycles followed by bevacizumab single agent until progression or unacceptable toxicity up to a maximum of 22 total cycles. The trial that was specifically designed with a translational primary endpoint to explore if selected clinical and biological factors could identify ovarian cancer patients with better prognosis in terms of progression free survival and overall survival after combined first-line treatment with chemotherapy plus Bevacizumab. The translational study, designed together with the clinical trial, the translational study implicated the collection of patients’ tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded – FFPE) and blood samples. Gene expression profile was among the molecular analyses proposed on FFPE samples.

Project description:KRAS mutation is a negative predictive factor for treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Novel predictive markers are required to further improve the selection of patients for this treatment. Here, we assessed the influence of modification of KRAS by gene copy number aberration (CNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in correlation to clinical outcome in mCRC patients treated with cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary tumour tissue was used from 34 mCRC patients in a phase III trial, who were selected based upon their good (n=17) or poor (n=17) progression-free survival (PFS) upon treatment with cetuximab in combination with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab. Gene copy number at the KRAS locus was assessed using high resolution genome-wide array CGH and the expression levels of 17 miRNAs targeting KRAS were determined by real-time PCR. Good response was associated with 12p12.1 copy number loss, even in patients with a KRAS mutation, while copy number gain in wild-type KRAS patients was correlated with a poor response. In KRAS mutated tumours increased miR-200b and decreased miR-143 expression were associated with a good response. In wild-type KRAS patients, miRNA expression did not predict response in a multivariate model. Thus, assessment of KRAS CNA and miRNAs targeting KRAS might further optimize the selection of patients eligible for anti-EGFR therapy. Copy number detection was performed using NimbleScan and Nexus software Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary tumour tissue was used from 34 metastisized colorectal cancer patients in a phase III trial (CKTO 2005-02; ClinTrials.gov NCT00208546) of the Dutch Colorectal Cancer Group (DCCG), who were selected based upon their good (n=17) or poor (n=17) progression-free survival (PFS) upon treatment with cetuximab in combination with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab.

Project description:The AVAglio and RTOG-0825 randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trials in newly diagnosed glioblastoma reported prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), with the addition of bevacizumab to radiotherapy/temozolomide. To establish whether certain patient subgroups derived OS benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to first-line standard-of-care therapy, AVAglio patients were retrospectively evaluated for molecular subtype, and bevacizumab efficacy assessed for each patient subgroup. A multivariate analysis accounting for prognostic covariates revealed that bevacizumab conferred a significant OS advantage versus placebo for patients with Proneural IDH1 wild-type tumors (17.1 v 12.8 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.73; P = .002). This analysis also revealed an interaction between the Proneural subtype biomarker and treatment arm (P = .023). The group of patients with Mesenchymal and Proneural tumors derived a PFS benefit from bevacizumab, compared with placebo; however, this translated to an OS benefit in the Proneural subset only. Retrospective analysis of AVAglio data suggests that patients with IDH1 wild-type Proneural glioblastoma may derive OS benefit from first-line bevacizumab treatment. The predictive value of the Proneural subtype observed in AVAglio should be validated in an independent dataset.

A total of 349 (bevacizumab arm, n = 171; placebo arm, n = 178) pretreatment specimens from AVAglio patients (total n = 921) were available for biomarker analysis. Samples were profiled for gene expression and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status and classified into previously identified molecular subtypes. PFS and OS were assessed within each subtype.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor, but the current therapeutic approaches have very limited impact on increase of the patients’s survival with GBM. Our recent clinical trial with autologous activated nature killer (NK) cells (AKCs) including 14 patients with recurrent GBM found that the progression-free and overall survival times were significantly increased in some patients in the treatment group. In the present study, we identified TNFRSF18, TNFSF4, and IL12RB2 as biomarkers that predict response to NK cell therapeutics by studying the tumor-immune microenvironment using NanoString and qRT-PCR analyses. In addition, our results show that responders to NK therapy have an immune-activated tumor microenvironment, whereas non-responders do not. Considering that immune and inflammatory response-enrichment is related to the high-risk group in this tumor type, our findings highlight a new treatment strategy of NK cell therapeutics for patients with highly aggressive recurrent GBM.

Project description:Purpose: To study the potential priming benefit of bevacizumab from subsequent immunotherapy (durvalumab) in advanced breast cancer patients Methods: We tested this hypothesis by adding durvalumab after progression to maintenance single-agent bevacizumab treatment in advanced HER2-negative patients (average 3 treatment lines). In order to study the potential priming benefit, patients had to experience disease progression while on bevacizumab maintenance prior to entering the trial. In addition, we sought to find traits in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tumor biopsies that informed about this immuno-priming, in an attempt to search for novel biomarkers of efficacy of the combo and obtain a better understanding of the biology of this clinical scenario. Results: Patients that experienced clinical benefit, compared with the remaining patients, displayed a lymphocyte pattern in PBMCs consisting on increased T-effector subpopulations (CD4- and CD8- effector and effector-memory) and decreased immunosuppressive T-regulatory cells. Gene-expression studies in tumor samples showed a congruent pattern, with increased T-effector and memory T cell signatures in responders, and increased T-regulatory and decreased active dendritic cells in non-responders. These events were observed in patients that displayed vascular normalization features as a result of previous bevacizumab, supporting the immuno-priming effects of this strategy.

Project description:Despite currently available treatment, the prognosis of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) is poor and recurrence is inevitable. Several new systemic treatment strategies have been evaluated in the past two decades, but most of those revealed disappointing results. Especially, newly developed tyrosine kinase inhbitors (TKIs) have been studied extensively. These agents inhibit intracellular signaling, i.e. tyrosine kinases, that exert a variety of biological activities, including cell proliferation and migration, and play an important role in GBM. Clinical trials evaluating TKIs have been evaluated for recurrent GBM resulted in minimal improvement in progression-free survival and no overall survival benefit, despite clinical significant benefit in other malignancies such as renal cell cancer. Whether these disappointing results are due to a restricted drug delivery of TKIs through the blood-brain barrier, or due to differential biological characteristics of GBM compared to other malignancies is unknown. MS-based phosphoproteomics was used as an approach for molecular tumor profiling to obtain insight into aberrantly activated signaling pathways and potential drug targets. The objective was to test the feasibility of determining the (phospho)proteomic profiles and kinase activity profiles in tumor tissue by mass spectrometry (MS) after treatment for 10 to 14 days. These profiles were compared to tumor tissue of a control group of patients with newly-diagnosed GBM, who were treated with a resection only.

Project description:Metastatic ovarian cancer lacks curative and therapeutic options in the recurrent setting, particularly refractory or platinum-resistant disease. Our phase 2 clinical trial (NCT02853318) combined pembrolizumab with bevacizumab to enhance T cell infiltration to the tumor microenvironment and oral cyclophosphamide to deplete regulatory T cells. This trial accrued 40 heavily pretreated recurrent ovarian cancer patients and resulted in an objective response rate of 47.5%, a median progression-free survival of 10 months, and disease control in 30% of patients over 12 months with good quality of life. To better assess the biological etiology underlying patient responses, we performed comprehensive molecular, immune, microbiome, and metabolic profiling in tumor, stroma, and fecal samples from patients on trial. Our unique findings point to predicted differences in T- and B-cell infiltration and glycerophospholipid dysregulation underlying combination therapeutic response. Overall, this study suggests the immune milieu may be leveraged as a target in non-responding patients to improve anti-tumor response and warrants further investigation.
