Abstract 55P
Background
Routine methods for MSI/dMMR for CRC pts detection are PCR/IHC, however the data on the benefit of ICI in cases with discordant results is limited. The clinical validity of NGS as a promising approach for MSI detection is currently unclear.
Methods
Patients with MSI+ (PCR) or dMMR (IHC) colorectal cancer (CRC) were eligible (NCT06414304). All patients received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and had pre-treatment FFPE and liquid biopsy (LB) samples available for central MSI/dMMR testing with PCR/IHC (FFPE) and with NGS (Atlas Pro panel) (FFPE and LB).
Results
A total of 32 patients were included, 22 patients with stages II-III received ICI preoperatively, 10 – for advanced disease; 28 were available for response assessment. ORR in ITT population was 46%. Among 4 patients with discordant results (PCR vs IHC), ORR was 0% (p>0.05). In patients with MSI+ FFPE or MSI+ LB by NGS (n=23), ORR was 57% (p>0.05). Among pts with available LB (n=26), ORR was higher when LB samples were MSI+ (56%) vs MSS (25%) with p>0.05. Among MSI+ by NGS (LB) cases two were pMMR by IHC. Both cases had SD and were MSI+ by PCR and NGS (FFPE). None of the patients had MSI+ by NGS (LB) and MSS by PCR. Patients with DC had a median blood MSI burden of 0.07 (range, 0-0.77), whereas median MSI burden of pts with PD was 3.76 (range, 2.44-5.08) (p=0.03). Table: 55P
ORR by MSI analysis via different methods
| NGS (FFPE) | NGS (FFPE) | NGS (LB) | NGS (LB) | ||
| MSI | MSS | MSI | MSS | ||
| IHC (FFPE) | dMMR | 50% (n=16) | 0% (n=1) | 75% (n=12) | 33% (n=3) |
| IHC (FFPE) | pMMR | 0% (n=3) | n=0 | 0% (n=2) | 0% (n=1) |
| PCR (FFPE) | MSI | 45% (n=20) | 100% (n=1) | 44% (n=16) | 33% (n=3) |
| PCR (FFPE) | MSS | n=0 | 0% (n=1) | n=0 | 0% (n=1) |
Conclusions
Patients with MSI+ by PCR may experience different ICI benefits based on IHC status. Patients with MSI+ LB have better ORR. MSI burden analysis in pre-treatment LB samples is associated with better treatment outcomes. Further research is warranted.
