Herein, we explored three deep learning strategies on histology samples to predict outcome for OSA in the neoadjuvant setting. Experimental Design: Our study relies on a training cohort from New York University (New York, NY) and an external cohort from Charles university (Prague, Czechia). We trained and validated the performance of a supervised approach that integrates neural network predictions of necrosis/tumor content, and compared predicted overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier curves. Furthermore, we explored morphology-based supervised and self-supervised approaches to determine whether intrinsic histomorphological features could serve as a potential marker for OS in the setting of neoadjuvant. Results: Excellent correlation between the trained network and the pathologists was obtained for the quantification of necrosis content (R2=0.899, r=0.949, p &lt; 0.0001). OS prediction cutoffs were consistent between pathologists and the neural network (22% and 30% of necrosis, respectively). Morphology-based supervised approach predicted OS with p-value=0.0028, HR=2.43 [1.10-5.38]. The self-supervised approach corroborated the findings with clusters enriched in necrosis, fibroblastic stroma, and osteoblastic morphology associating with better OS (lg2HR; -2.366; -1.164; -1.175; 95% CI=[-2.996; -0.514]). Viable/partially viable tumor and fat necrosis were associated with worse OS (lg2HR;1.287;0.822;0.828; 95% CI=[0.38-1.974]). Conclusions: Neural networks can be used to automatically estimate the necrosis to tumor ratio, a quantitative metric predictive of survival.

Experimental design: Pre-treatment gene expression data from 742 HER2 negative breast cancers enrolled in the I-SPY2 neoadjuvant trial was used. Prognostic risk categories were assigned using the MammaPrint assay. Transcriptional similarities across the 4 receptor and prognostic groups were assessed using principal component analyses and by identifying differentially expressed genes. We also examined pathologic complete response (pCR) rates and event-free survivals (EFS) by risk group. Results: Principal component analysis showed that HR+/MP-H2 tumors clustered with TN/MP-H2 cancers. Only 125 genes showed differential expression between the HR+/MP-H2 and TN/MP-H2 cancers while 1,465 genes were differentially expressed between HR+/MP-H2 and -H1. Gene set analysis revealed similarly high expression of cell cycle, DNA repair, and immune-infiltration related pathways in HR+/MP-H2 and TN/MP-H2 cancers. HR+/MP-H2 cancers also showed low estrogen receptor (ER)-related gene expression. pCR rates were similarly high in TN/MP-H2 and HR+/MP-H2 cancers (42% vs 30.5%, p=0.11), and MP-H2 cancers with residual cancer had similarly poor EFS regardless of ER status.

Responses to endocrine monotherapy in advanced endometrial cancer (EC) are suboptimal, perhaps due to genomic alterations that promote estrogen receptor (ER)-independent cyclin D1-CDK4/6 activation. We hypothesized that addition of abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 kinase inhibitor, to antiestrogen therapy with fulvestrant will be an effective therapeutic strategy in patients with advanced or recurrent EC. Methods: In this phase II study, patients with advanced or recurrent EC received 150 mg of abemaciclib orally twice daily with 500 mg of fulvestrant intramuscularly monthly with a 2-week loading dose. Eligibility included ER or progesterone receptor expression ³1% by immunohistochemistry, measurable disease, £2 prior lines of chemotherapy, and £1 prior line of hormonal therapy.

However, there is no accepted framework to resolve if individual samples from the same individual share variants due to common identity versus coincidence. Experimental Design: Utilizing 8,000 patient tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) across 33 cancer types, we estimated background rates of co-occurrence rates of mutations between discrete pairs of samples across cancers and by cancer type. We developed a mutational profile similarity score (MPS) that uses a large background database to produce confidence estimates that two tumors share a unique, related molecular profile. The MPS algorithm was applied to randomly paired tumor profiles, including patients who underwent repeat solid tumor biopsies sequenced with MSK-IMPACT (n=53,113). We also evaluated the MPS in sample pairs from single patients with multiple cancers (n=2,012), as well as patients with plasma and solid-tumor variant profiles (n=884 patients). Results: In unrelated tumors, nucleotide-specific variants are shared in 1.3% (cancer-type agnostic) and in 10-13% (cancer-type specific) of cases. The mutational profile similarity (MPS) method contextualized shared variants to specify whether patients had a single cancer versus multiple distinct cancers. When multiple tumors were compared from the same patient, and an initial clinicopathologic diagnosis was discordant with molecular findings, the MPS anticipated future diagnosis changes in 28% of examined cases. Conclusions: Use of a novel shared variant framework can provide information to clarify the molecular relationship between compared biospecimens with minimal required input.","PeriodicalId":10279,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cancer Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142673880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective CRS management and prevention is crucial in T-BiSp development. Required hospitalization for 7 of the 9 approved T-BiSp and the need for clinical intervention in severe cases highlight the importance of mitigation strategies to reduce healthcare burden and improve patient outcome. In this review, we discuss the emerging evidence on CRS mitigation, management, and prediction. We cover different strategies for dose optimization, current and emerging (pre)treatment strategies, quantitative pharmacology tools employed during drug development, and biomarkers and predictive factors. Insights are gleaned on step-up dosing and formulation effects on CRS and CRS relationships with cytokine dynamics and drug levels gathered through review of T-BiSp licensing applications and emerging data from conferences and publications.</p>","PeriodicalId":10279,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cancer Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142667404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
