Abstract 775P
Background
The phase 3 iPocc trial reported improved progression-free survival (PFS) in OC patients receiving IP over intravenous (IV) carboplatin with IV dose-dense paclitaxel. We sought to identify biomarkers that can predict sensitivity to IP therapy.
Methods
117 pre-treatment frozen samples were subjected to mRNA profiling (Affymetrix HTA 2.0) and ACT Genomics ACTOnco®+ next generation sequencing. Cox regression analyses were performed to identify genes significantly correlated with PFS following IP treatment (p < 0.05). Homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD) is defined by loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) score ≥ 0.48.
Results
Patients receiving IP (n=61) or IV (n=56) had similar clinico-pathological distributions. We identified a 72-gene signature that was significantly correlated with PFS in IP but not in IV patients. Tumors harboring a signature with reduced VEGFA/VEGFR2 and PI3K signaling had low IP resistant score (IPRS) and were associated with improved outcomes for IP therapy. There was no difference in IPRS between BRCA1/2 wildtype and mutant tumors (p = 0.55). HRD tumors had a significantly higher IPRS than non-HRD tumors (p = 0.03). A high IPRS was significantly correlated with poorer PFS after IP therapy (median: ∼18 months vs not reached/NR, p < 0.0001), with no correlation seen after IV therapy (median: 25 vs 24 months, p = 0.9). Low IPRS IP patients had improved PFS compared with low IPRS IV patients (median: NR vs 25 months, p = 0.0261). Paradoxically, when IPRS is high, IP patients have worse PFS than IV patients (median: ∼18 vs 24 months, p = 0.004). Low IPRS was also able to predict improved outcomes in appendiceal cancer patients receiving hyperthermic IP therapy with the DNA cross-linking agent mitomycin-c (median PFS: 4.4 vs 1.5 years, p = 0.01).
Conclusions
The IPRS shows promise in identifying a subset of OC patients likely to benefit from IP platinum treatment. Validation in a larger cohort is warranted.
