5576 Background: Ovarian carcinomas show homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in up to 50% of cases and in 15 to 20% of cases occur due to germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. BRCA mutated tumors are more sensitive to PARP inhibitors and platinum based chemotherapy. The objective of this study was to characterize a cohort of ovarian cancer patients regarding HRD and to evaluate the impact of these scores in prolonged platinum sensitivity. Methods: Thirty one ovarian cancer patients with platinum resistant recurrence reexposed to platinum based chemotherapy were selected. Paraffin embedded tumor samples from 14 patients were analyzed using ONCOSCAN assay (Affymetrix) to evaluate HRD scores. The association of the scores with response rate to platinum rechallenge, overall survival and clinical pathologic factors was evaluated. Results: From the cohort of 31 patients, 15 samples from 14 patients were analyzed for genomic alterations. Median scores were 19.5 for TAI, 12.5 for cnLOH+L, 26.0 for LST and 6.3 for HRD. High scores were found in 10 out of 14 (for cnLOH+L score) and 9 out of 14 (for LST score) patients. Seven of the 14 patients analyzed analyzed for genomic alterations had response, which suggested homologous recombination deficiency. No significant differences were observed between response rates for high versus low scores. Numerically, cnLOH+L, LST and HDR scores were higher in patients with response to treatment compared to those without response. Median overall survival was 13.4 months from the beginning of platinum rechallenge and no difference in survival according to scores was observed. Among the clinical pathologic factors, family history of breast or ovarian cancer or personal history of breast cancer was associated to higher response rate to platinum rechallenge. Conclusions: In conclusion,HRD scores showed to be potential markers of response to platinum rechallenge in the platinum resistant setting. Further studies are necessary to clarify the best cutoffs for each score, the impact of tumor heterogeneity and the analysis of tumor samples in the moment of treatment. Positive family history of cancer is a clinical factor predictvie of platinum rechallenge response.
525 Background: TKI have improved the prognosis of patients with mRCC, but rarely lead to durable response. Predictive clinical biomarkers have been studied in the last few years, but most are still controversial. Objective: Identify the role of the clinical and laboratorial biomarkers of prognosis and outcome in mRCC. Methods: A retrospective study with mRCC treated with VEGFR-TKi in first line at A C Camargo Cancer Center (Jan-07 to Apr-16). Studied biomarkers: induced hypertension (HTN), acquiried hypothyroidism, proteinuria, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Data were analized in relation to progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objetive response rate (ORR) stratified by each marker. Results: We included 94 patients (76.6% sunitinib, 21.3% pazopanib, 2.1% sorafenib). Overall, ORR to VEGFR-TKI was 41.1%; clinical benefit rate was 82.1% (43% Stable disease). Median PFS was 11.4 months (mo)(CI 95% 8.7-14.1) and median OS was 32.1 mo(CI 95% 23.4-40.8). HTN was numerically associated with longer PFS (20.1 vs. 8.2 mo) and OS (37.2 vs. 28.2 mo), but not statistically significant. Only high level TSH (>10) was associated with significant longer PFS and OS, p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively. There was no association between proteinuria and better outcome. Finally, NLR≥3 pre-treatment was independent prognostic factor, and NLR≥3 post treatment (12aweek) predicted poor OS (9.6 vs 33.9 mo). A “NLR conversion” (before ≥3, turn to <3) was associated with longer OS (28.2 vs. 11.6 mo, p=0.0012). Conclusions: TSH elevation is a good biomarker of better outcome in patients in treatment with TKI. NLR is an important inflamatory marker associated with shorter survival and NLR conversion can be an early biomarker of better outcome to mRCC patients in first line.
