Abstract 270P
Background
The companion diagnostic for olaparib against prostate cancer, which aims to detect BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene (BRCA1/2) variants, was investigated in December 2020 in Japan. There have been no reports on germline BRCA1/2 variants in actual clinical practice. Here, we evaluate germline BRCA1/2 variants and their relationship to the clinical characteristics and outcomes in prostate cancer.
Methods
Between June 2021 and June 2023, 92 patients with prostate cancer were examined using germline BRCA1/2 testing. Further, the associations between pathogenic variants and clinical outcomes were assessed.
Results
Of the 92 patients referred from the Iwate prefecture in Japan for genetic testing, six patients (6.5%) carried germline pathogenic variants; BRCA2 was the most frequent (n=5, 5.4%), followed by BRCA1 (n=1, 1.1%). Among the six variants in BRCA2, p.Ala338Valfs*11 was identified for the first time. Patients with the BRCA1/2 variant exhibited poor outcomes for overall survival from castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), first-line androgen receptor-axis-targeted therapy (ARAT) for CRPC, and taxane chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] 4.77, 95% CI: 1.00 to 22.6, P=0.049; HR=5.27, 95% CI: 1.77 to 15.7, P=0.0028; and HR=7.47, 95% CI: 1.49 to 37.4, P=0.014, respectively).
Conclusions
In this study, patients with prostate cancer possessing germline variants of BRCA1/2 genes exhibited poor clinical response to ARAT for CRPC and taxane chemotherapy.
