Abstract 1259
Background
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) plays a key role in hematopoiesis, and FLT3-associated molecular alterations are an established predictor for the treatment with FLT3 inhibitors in acute myeloid leukemia. However, the oncogenic role of FLT3 amplification (amp) in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has not yet been well established.
Methods
Tumor tissue samples from 2,329 mCRC pts were sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS) with Oncomine Comprehensive Assay in the Nationwide Cancer Genome Screening Project in Japan (SCRUM-Japan GI-SCREEN). Clinicopathological features, co-altered genes, prognosis and regorafenib efficacy on FLT3 amp (defined as copy number ≥ 7.0) vs. non-FLT3 amp mCRC were investigated.
Results
Between Apr 2015 and Jun 2018, a total of 85 pts (3.6%) with mCRC with FLT3 amp were observed. There were no clear differences in baseline characteristics between pts with or without FLT3 amp. The enrichment of TP53 mutation in FLT3 amp mCRC was observed more frequently than non-FLT3 amp (74.1% vs. 64.7%, P = 0.08), but RAS mutation frequency was similar in both (48.2% vs. 42.8%, P = 0.31). In contrast, activating alterations in BRAF (1.1% vs. 7.1%, P = 0.053) and PIK3CA (1.1% vs 7.0%, P = 0.03) mutations were both less frequent in FLT3 amp vs. non-FLT3 amp mCRC. Median OS from 1st-line chemotherapy in FLT3 amp mCRC was significantly shorter than those in non-FLT3 amp (30.2 vs. 43.4 months, P = 0.002). Furthermore, in 20 pts receiving regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor with a mild inhibitory activity of FLT3, the disease control rate (DCR) was higher in FLT3 amp mCRC pts (n = 7) compared with non-FLT3 amp (57.1% vs. 23.0 %, P = 0.13).
Conclusions
FLT3 amp was associated with a significantly worse survival and a higher DCR from regorafenib, suggesting it has a distinct oncogenic role in mCRC. Further investigation of the oncogenic role of FLT3 amp in mCRC is warranted in clinical trials.
