2689 - mTOR mutations are not associated with shorter PFS and OS in patients treated with mTOR inhibitors

Background

Activation of the mTOR pathway is associated with shorter overall survival (OS) in patients (p) with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This outcome could be reversed with mTOR inhibitors (mTORi).

Methods

We retrospectively analized by amplicon-seq mutations in mTOR, VEGF, and cell cycle pathways in 90 mRCC p who had received mTORi. A multivariate Cox model including sex, age, non-clear or sarcomatoide component, metastatic sites, IMDC subgroup, and line of mTORi was adjusted to isolate the effect of having mTORi mutations on progression-free survival (PFS), death form diagnosis (OS1) and death from mTORi treatment (OS2).

Results

We identified 33% of p having mutations in the mTOR pathway: mTOR (17.8%), PIK3CA (5.6%), PTEN (3.3%), TSC1 (5.6%) and TSC2 (4%). No mutations were found in AKT (AKT1, AKT2, AKT3). OS for favorable, intermediate and poor prognosis of the IMDC were 43.7, 22.2 and 8.7 months respectively. As summarized in the table, in the best adjusted model there were no statistically differences in the hazard ratios (HR) of PFS, OS1 or OS2, between patient with and without mutations (M/NotM). Four long-term responders to mTORi (> 7 years) harboured mutations in one or more genes of this pathway (p53, PTEN and mTOR). Upon progression one patient adquired an LRPB1 mutation.Table:

Conclusions

In a multivariate adjusted model in patients with mRCC treated with mTORi, we did not find the expected worse prognosis associated with mTOR mutations. This finding can be considered as an indirect signal of the effect of mTORi on PFS and OS in patients with mTOR mutations. Although, not the most effective treatment in the overall population, some patients with specific alterations in the mTOR pathway should be considered for an mTORi.
