Early-onset metastatic and clinically advanced prostate cancer is a distinct clinical and molecular entity characterized by increased TMPRSS2-ERG fusions

Zachary R. Chalmers, Michael C. Burns, Ericka M. Ebot, Garrett M. Frampton, Jeffrey S. Ross, Maha H. A. Hussain, Sarki A. Abdulkadir

Summary: In summary, early-onset prostate cancer patients with clinically advanced and metastatic disease display distinct molecular alterations compared to older patients, with increased frequency of TMPRSS2-ERG fusions and fewer AR, SPOP, and ASXL1 alterations.

Pan-cancer landscape of CD274 (PD-L1) copy number changes in 244 584 patient samples and the correlation with PD-L1 protein expression

Richard S. P. Huang, Karthikeyan Murugesan, Meagan Montesion, Dean C. Pavlick, Douglas A. Mata, Matthew C. Hiemenz, Brennan Decker, Garrett Frampton, Lee A. Albacker, Jeffrey S. Ross

Summary: The study analyzed a large cohort of solid tumor cases to investigate CD274 copy-number changes and their correlation with PD-L1 protein expression. The prevalence of CD274 copy-number changes varied across different tumor types and was found to be significantly associated with PD-L1 positivity in certain tumor types, indicating its potential as a biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Goldberg, Karthikeyan Murugesan, Chang-Jiun Wu, Jianhua Zhang, David S. Barreto, Jacqulyne P. Robichaux, Alexandre Reuben, Tina Cascone, Carl M. Gay, Kyle G.

Miller, Brian Alexander, Garrett Frampton, Lee A. Albacker, David Shames, Jianjun Zhang, John Heymach

Summary: High TMB and PD-L1 expression are predictive for benefit from ICB treatment in oncogene-driven NSCLCs. NSCLC harboring BRAF mutations demonstrated superior benefit from ICB that may be attributed to higher TMB and higher PD-L1 expression in these tumors.

Intra-patient stability of tumor mutational burden from tissue biopsies at different time points in advanced cancers

Timothy V. Pham, Aaron M. Goodman, Smruthy Sivakumar, Garrett Frampton, Razelle Kurzrock

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference in TMB between different tumor biopsies from the same patient, but TMB may increase in patients receiving ICI treatment. In general, tissue TMB remains stable over time, with specific therapies such as immunotherapy potentially leading to an increase in TMB.

Summary: Loss or dysfunction of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene can activate pro-tumorigenic signaling pathways. In this study, the authors analyze sequencing data from a large cohort of colorectal cancer patients with PTEN mutations and identify distinct patterns of associations with genomic and clinical features.

ERBB2 Copy Number as a Quantitative Biomarker for Real-World Outcomes to Anti-Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Therapy in Advanced Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Liangliang Zhang, Omar Hamdani, Ole Gjoerup, Cheryl Cho-Phan, Jeremy Snider, Emily Castellanos, Halla Nimeiri, Garrett Frampton, Jeffrey M. Venstrom, Geoffrey Oxnard, Samuel J. Klempner, Alexa B. Schrock

Summary: This study aimed to explore the characteristics of HER2 amplification in gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) patients and investigate its association with the efficacy of trastuzumab. The results showed that the copy number of ERBB2 in HER2-amplified patients could predict progression-free survival in trastuzumab-treated patients. This study contributes to a better understanding of the importance of HER2 amplification in the treatment of GEA.
