Abstract 2670
Background
Clinical and molecular heterogeneity of GC is broadly recognized. Three molecular classifications based on sample profiling from resected early-stage tumours have been proposed. Apart from microsatellite instability (MSI) subgroup, they provide conflicting results and are difficult to implement in the met population. We aimed to develop and adapt a molecular classification for stratifying met patients(pt).
Methods
Fifty surgical samples from GC pt (Dec 2006 – Jan 2017) who relapsed were selected. We performed 1) exon-capture next generation sequencing for mutation(mut) (430 genes, including TP53, PIK3CA, CDH1, RHOA, BRCA1/2, ATM); 2) immunohistochemistry of HER2, MET, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, CDH1, MUC6, MUC5AC, PDL1; and 3) in situ hybridization of HER2, EBV, FGFR2, MET. Tumour mut burden (TMB) defined as number of non-synonymous mut per megabase (Mb) of coding region. Grant PI17/00117.
Results
Forty-nine pt had evaluable molecular data, 26 (53%) diffuse subtype, 11 (22%) intestinal, 12 (24%) mixed. Eight tumours were HER2-positive (-pos) (16%), 3 MSI-pos (6%), and 2 EBV-pos (4%). Gene mut and copy number variations (CNVs) involving receptor kinases, cell cycle, epigenetic and DNA damage repair pathways were detected in more than 50%. TP53 mut were found in 21 (43%), whereas CDH1 in 10 (20%), ARID1A in 9 (18%), and LRP1B in 8 (16%). Diffuse subtype had an enrichment for CDH1 mut (31%), and intestinal for TP53 mut (82%). We found no enrichment for CNVs in histopathology subtypes, but 6 out of 8 HER2 amplified cases were TP53 mut intestinal. TP53 wild type (wt) tumours had higher expression of MUC6, MUC5A and lower PDL1 combined score (p < 0.05). Outlier high PDL1 expression and high TMB (> 10 mut/Mb) were not limited to MSI and EBV-pos. TMB was higher in samples with alterations in DNA damage repair genes (median 6 mut/Mb) or TP53 mut (median 5.4 mut/Mb) as compared to wt (median 3.1 mut/Mb, p < 0.05). The overall survival in the met setting was longer in pt with DNA damage repair mut (36.7m) than wt (11.5m; HR 0.51; p = 0.06). All pt had received a platinum-based chemo, none immunotherapy.
Conclusions
The molecular landscape of met GC is unique and may guide development of matched therapies. Our findings will be validated in a larger cohort of 135 samples.
