Clinical Utility of Liquid-based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST).

Treatment for GIST focuses on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), whose selection depends on specific mutations. We sought to determine the clinical utility of liquid biopsy in advanced GIST. Liquid (n=181) (FoundationOne®Liquid CDx) and tissue (n=2,198) (FoundationOne® and FoundationOne®CDx) CGP of GIST were evaluated.

Real-world pan-tumor comprehensive genomic profiling sample adequacy and success rates in tissue and liquid specimens.

Real-world success rate of liquid and tissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is unknown. We analyzed real-world pan-tumor cohorts that underwent CGP during clinical care via FoundationOne CDx (F1CDx) and FoundationOne Liquid CDx (F1LCDx) to determine tissue and liquid sample adequacy based on tumor type. Pan-tumor presequencing adequacy was high (>90%) by both tissue-based F1CDx (median: 92.

Pan-tumor validation of a NGS fraction-based MSI analysis as a predictor of response to Pembrolizumab.

Microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) and mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) tumor status have been demonstrated to predict patient response to immunotherapies. We developed and validated a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based companion diagnostic (CDx) to detect MSI-H solid tumors via a comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) assay, FoundationOne®CDx (F1CDx). To determine MSI status, F1CDx calculates the fraction of unstable microsatellite loci across >2000 loci using a fraction-based (FB) analysis.

Effectiveness of PARP Inhibitor Maintenance Therapy in Ovarian Cancer by BRCA1/2 and a Scar-Based HRD Signature in Real-World Practice.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy (mPARPi) in real-world practice by biomarker status [BRCA1/2 alterations (BRCAalt) and a homologous recombination deficiency signature (HRDsig)] in advanced ovarian cancer.

Experimental Design: Patients with ovarian cancer receiving first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and either mPARPi or no maintenance were included. Patient data were obtained by a US-based de-identified ovarian cancer Clinico-Genomic Database, from ∼280 US cancer clinics (01/2015-03/2023).

Targetable ERBB2/HER2 Mutations in Gynecologic Malignancies: Clinicopathological, Immunohistochemical, and Molecular Correlations.

Targeted anti-HER2 therapy has been recently added to the standard treatment recommendations in endometrial serous carcinoma. Current eligibility requires testing for HER2 overexpression and/or gene amplification by immunohistochemistry and by fluorescence in situ hybridization. However, clinical trials have also demonstrated the efficacy of anti-HER2 drugs against activating ERBB2/HER2 mutations in a variety of solid tumor types, and fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan is now approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for HER2 -mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
