Abstract 2314
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) elicits durable responses in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but only a fraction of patients responded. TP53 and ATM co-mutation may lead to genomic instability and hypermutation. However, the prevalence and utility of a TP53/ATM co-mutation as a biomarker to ICIs are not fully understood.
Methods
This was a multiple cohort pooled study, 2020 NSCLC samples from Geneplus Institute, 1031 samples from TCGA, 1567 samples from MSKCC, 853 samples from POLAR/OAK databases were statically analyzed. Next-generation sequencing assays were performed in the Geneplus Institute. Genomic, transcriptomic and clinical data were obtained from the TCGA, MSKCC, POLAR/OAK databases. Comprehensive profiling was performed to determine the prevalence of TP53/ATM co-mutation and correlation with the prognosis and the response to ICIs.
Results
TP53/ATM co-mutation sites were found to be scattered throughout the genes and we did not observe any significant difference in TP53/ATM co-mutated frequency within the histologic subtypes and driver genes. In five independent NSCLC cohorts, TP53/ATM co-mutation contributed to significantly higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) compared to both the sole mutation and both wild type groups. Furthermore, in the MSKCC-IO cohort, a TP53/ATM co-mutation was associated with better OS than sole mutation and both wild type groups, especially in pan-cancer (P=.241, NSCLC and P<.0001, Pan-cancer). Similar results were shown in the POLAR/OAK cohort, the disease control benefit rate, and progression free survival (PFS) and OS were all greater in patients with the TP53/ATM co-mutation compared with the other three groups. GSEA showed that IFN-α response, IFN-γ response, IL6/JAK/STAT3 signaling, and TNF-α signaling pathways had higher levels of activation and there was greater PD-L1 expression in the co-mutated group, compared with solely mutated and both wild type group.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that patients with TP53/ATM co-mutation comprise a special subgroup of NSCLC patients and correlate with increasing TMB and responses to ICIs. It may have implications for potential predictive biomarker in guiding ICIs immunotherapy.
