Abstract

Background

Melanoma is the most lethal malignancy of the skin. Immunotherapy has contributed to improved survival in melanoma patients, yet the mechanisms explaining differences in efficacy have not been elucidated. In previous studies our group found an immune signature that predicts response to antiPD1 immunotherapy. On the other hand, melanoma genomics have been extensively studied, but data regarding protein expression are still scarce. We have performed a genomics plus proteomics analysis of advanced melanoma samples aiming to find mechanisms of resistance to antiPD1.

Methods

53 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) melanoma samples were analyzed using a high-throughput proteomics approach based on mass-spectrometry. Using the same 53 FFPE samples we performed RNA-seq of 2000 preselected genes through SeqCap® RNA Choice Probes. Both proteomics and RNA-seq data will be analyzed using probabilistic graphical models (PGM) and sparse-k means plus consensus cluster algorithm, independently and joint together.

Results

53 advanced melanoma patients treated with anti-PD1 immunotherapy were recruited. Proteomics analyses allowed the identification and quantification of 1605 proteins passing quality criteria (two unique peptides and less than 50% of missing values). A PGM, including these 1605 proteins was built, and the resulting graph was processed to seek for functional structures. Successive sparse k-means and consensus cluster algorithm were performed to find the different informative layers. We found an informative layer composed of 102 proteins that divide patients in two groups; these two groups had prognostic value. On the other hand, a PGM including the 2000 genes will be also built (experiments already ongoing). Finally, results from both proteomics and genomics approach will be combined looking for anti-PD1 resistance mechanisms.

Conclusion

The integration of different omics will lead us to a better understanding of the resistance mechanisms to anti-PD1 immunotherapy in advanced melanoma.

Abstract

Background

CC-90011 is an oral, potent, selective, and reversible inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1A. Prior results from the CC-900011-ST-001 study showed that CC-90011 was well tolerated and had promising preliminary antitumor activity in pts with advanced unresectable STs and R/R NHL. Here we present updated results with longer follow-up and additional pts.

Methods

Pts in this phase I dose escalation (part A) and expansion (part B) study received CC-90011 once/wk (QW) in 28-d cycles. Primary endpoints were safety, maximum tolerated dose, and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Secondary endpoints included pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy.

Results

Of 66 pts enrolled (50 in part A; 16 in part B), all but 1 pt had STs; 40 pts had neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). The primary objective of part A was met with an RP2D of 60 mg QW established. As of 13 Sept 2019, 6 pts remained on treatment. The primary reason for discontinuation was progressive disease (part A, 76%; part B, 63%). Thrombocytopenia was the most common treatment-related adverse event (AE; 47%) and the only serious AE reported in >1 pt in either part of the study; it was an on-target event that was reversible and easily managed. AEs led to discontinuation in 6% of pts in part A and 0 pts in part B; 1 pt in part B died of infection unrelated to CC-90011. Clinical benefit rate was 20% (95% CI, 10.0-33.7) in part A. One pt with NHL achieved a complete response (CR) and is ongoing in cycle 27 as of 13 Dec 2019; 3 pts had stable disease (SD) ≥20 cycles. Exposure increased proportional to dose. Negligible accumulation of exposure was observed with repeat dosing, and the terminal half-life was ∼60 h. Decreased levels of circulating neuroendocrine peptides and peripheral blood PD biomarkers indicated target engagement by CC-90011.

Conclusion

Results from this updated analysis show a consistent, well-tolerated safety profile and favorable PK and PD characteristics for CC-90011. Promising antitumor activity was observed in pts with advanced unresectable malignancies, including a durable CR in R/R NHL and prolonged SD in NENs. These data support further investigation of CC-90011.

Abstract

Background

Resistance to targeted therapy is one of the important problems in oncology. The main purpose of the work was to study the exosomes involvement in the progression of the resistance of breast cancer cells.

Methods

MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was obtained from the ATCC collection. The cells-derived exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation and thoroughly characterised. Protein expression was measured by immunoblotting. To measure AP1 activity gene-reporter assay was used.

Results

The rapamycin-resistant MCF-7 cells were developed under long-term treatment of the cells with the increasing doses of rapamycin. The selected cells named as MCF-7/Rap were characterized with the resistance to rapamycin, and at the same time - the partial resistance to antiestrogen tamoxifen. We have shown that the treatment of the parent MCF-7 cells with exosomes from the resistant MCF-7/Rap cells within 14 days lead to the cross resistance of the MCF-7 cells to rapamycin and tamoxifen. The MCF-7/Rap cells and the cells with the exosome-induced resistance were characterized with the increased expression of mTOR-interacting Raptor protein, activation of Akt and transcriptional factor AP-1.

Conclusion

The results obtained demonstrate the important role of Akt/mTOR signaling in the development of exosome-induced cancer cell resistance to growth signal-targeting anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract

Background

Docetaxel therapy is approved for castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. However, it is unknown whether docetaxel should be added to the treatment regimen after patients become resistant to androgen deprivation therapy or only once they develop metastasis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify demographic, clinical and genetic predictors of docetaxel response which would help optimize both its use and timing for initiation.

Methods

A total of 209 prostate cancer patients were analyzed for factors predicting GRID (genome resource information database) gene expression scores for docetaxel response (score = 1-100) using linear regression. Factors included in the analysis were age, race, stress, comorbidity measured by TIBI-CaP (Total Illness Burden Index–Carcinoma Prostate), androgen receptor signaling and tumor proliferation signaling gene signatures, PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels, and Gleason grade.

Results

African American men had significantly lower docetaxel sensitivity compared to Whites based on GRID gene signatures. In a regression analysis, however, only comorbidity (β = -0.93, p=0.05), increasing androgen receptor signaling (β = 0.60, p <0.001) and tumor proliferation signaling gene signatures (β = 0.39, p <0.001) were significant predictors of genetics of docetaxel response independent of race. Additionally, TIBI-CaP was significantly correlated with tumor proliferation. The model explained 42% variance in the genetics of docetaxel response.

Conclusion

Optimization of docetaxel therapy use in prostate cancer should take into account patient’s comorbidity, androgen receptor signaling and tumor proliferation signaling gene signatures. Comorbidity may be exerting its effect on docetaxel response by increasing the chances of proliferation of the prostate tumor cells. The pharmacogenomics of docetaxel response could aid precision medicine initiatives by improving survival rates in prostate cancer patients.
