Exploitation of Precision Medicine Trials Data: Examples of Long Responders From the SHIVA01 Trial.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

Precision medicine trials constitute a precious source of molecular data with prospective clinical annotations allowing the exploration of patients' subpopulations according to specific clinical or biological questions. Using the SHIVA01-the first randomized trial comparing molecularly targeted therapy on the basis of tumor molecular profiling versus conventional chemotherapy in metastatic cancer patients who failed standard of care therapy-annotated database, we report cases of patients treated in the trial with targeted therapy who experienced an objective response or prolonged disease stabilization in light of patients' molecular alterations.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

We selected all patients included in SHIVA01 treated with a molecularly targeted agent (MTA) who experienced an objective response or disease stabilization that lasted longer than 6 months according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.

RESULTS:

Among the 170 patients who received MTAs in the SHIVA01 trial, 15 patients (9%) experienced an objective response (n = 3) or disease stabilization that lasted longer than 6 months (n = 12). The most frequent histologic subtypes were breast cancer (27%) and cervical cancer (20%). Six patients, including three patients with breast cancer, were treated with abiraterone on the basis of androgen receptor protein overexpression. Five patients were treated with everolimus on the basis of a PTEN heterozygous deletion with loss of protein expression, PIK3CA mutation, or both alterations. The remaining four patients were treated with tamoxifen, erlotinib, imatinib, and vemurafenib on the basis of progesterone receptor expression, EGFR amplification, KIT mutation, and BRAF mutation, respectively. TP53 mutations were absent in responder patients.

CONCLUSION:

Analysis of patients who experienced objective responses or disease stabilization that lasted longer than 6 months allowed the identification of potential biomarkers of sensitivity and resistance to MTAs.
