Abstract 3594
Background
We conducted NGS of baseline UC tumors to elucidate molecular predictors of clinical outcomes on D/D+T.
Methods
CP1108/NCT01693562 was a nonrandomized phase I/II trial including 201 2L UC pts who were treated with D (10 mg/kg Q2W). Study 10/NCT02261220 was a phase I trial including 190 2L UC pts treated with D (20 mg/kg Q4W) +T (1 mg/kg Q4W). Pts with ≥25% PD-L1 expression in tumor or immune cells were scored as PD-L1+ by IHC. RNA-seq (n = 62) and whole exome sequencing (WES; n = 37) were used in CP1108. The IFN-γ gene signature (IFNGS) was calculated as described (Higgs B et al., 2018). TMB was calculated as somatic coding mutation count per mega base from WES data with TMB≥top tertile as TMB high. FMI assay (n = 62) was conducted in Study 10 with TMB≥top tertile as TMB high. ctDNA dynamics using Guardant360 were calculated using an established method (Raja R, et al., 2018). Wilcoxon, log-rank tests and COX-PH model were used in relevant statistical tests.
Results
Among ITT pts, 55% and 44.5% pts were PD-L1+ in CP1108 and Study 10 respectively. PD-L1 status correlated with IFNGS (p < 0.001), whereas PD-L1 did not correlate with TMB. PD-L1+ correlated with better OS in CP1108 (HR = 0.46, p < 0.001) but not in Study 10 (HR = 0.75, p = 0.2). IFNGS significantly correlated with better PFS in CP1108 (HR = 0.5, p = 0.02). Higher TMB in CP1108 using the median cutoff trended towards better OS (HR = 0.51, p = 0.18), but no clear trend using the top tertile cutoff due to small sample size. Higher TMB in Study 10 correlated with improved OS (HR = 0.34, p = 0.01). In Study 10, TMB and PD-L1 double positive pts (n = 14, 24%) had best OS and pts low in both had worst (n = 19, 32%, HR = 0.23, p = 0.01). Clearance of ctDNA after treatment correlated with better OS (HR = 0.23, p = 0.006) and PFS (HR = 0.33, p = 0.01) in combined UC pts from the 2 studies.
Conclusions
Both PD-L1 and TMB predict for survival benefit in UC pts treated with D/D+T. They identify overlapping but generally distinct patient populations. Double highs perform the best. ctDNA loss following treatment can be predictive for better survival.
