Abstract 3328
Background
A novel approach to differentiate somatic vs. germline BRCA1/2 mutations in cfDNA using a beta binomial model (AACR 2018, abst #4272) may enable identification of pts with advanced GI tumors who are likely to benefit from a PARP inhibitor. The results from the GOZILA study, the Nationwide Cancer Genome Screening Project utilizing Guardant360, are presented here.
Methods
Pts with advanced GI tumors who were appropriate for any systemic therapy and had progressed following at least one prior treatment were eligible. We investigated the prevalence of somatic vs. germline BRCA1/2 mutations and the association between BRCA1/2 mutations, TMB and MSI.
Results
From Jan 2018 to Mar 2019, 850 pts were prospectively enrolled among 26 major cancer centers in Japan. Of 40 (4.7%) actionable BRCA1/2 mutations, 14 were germline: esophagus (squamous cell carcinoma only), 2 pts (N = 62, 3.2%); stomach, 2 pts (N = 131, 1.5%); colorectum, 3 pts (N = 377, 0.8%); pancreas, 3 pts (N = 157, 1.9%); biliary tract, 4 pts (N = 77, 5.2%); and others, none (N = 31, 0%). Notably, the majority of BRCA1/2 mutations (75%) in pts with esophageal, pancreas and biliary tract cancers were germline, while 81% of BRCA1/2 mutations in pts with stomach and colorectal cancers were somatic (p = 0.001). Median TMB of pts with germline BRCA1/2 mutations was significantly lower than those with somatic BRCA1/2 mutations (p = 0.042). In addition, all pts with germline BRCA1/2 mutations were microsatellite stable, while 19% of pts with somatic BRCA1/2 mutations were MSI-high.
Conclusions
Analysis of cfDNA identified a unique subset of pts with germline BRCA1/2 mutations in advanced GI cancers. Given the association of these findings with efficacy of PARP inhibitor and immune-based therapies, these findings suggest that the identification of BRCA1/2 mutations and their germline-somatic origin may have future implications for therapy selection.
