• Longitudinal copy number variation analysis from plasma DNA of head and neck cancer patients under re-radiotherapy

  Recurrent locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, receiving re-radiotherapy (re-RT), are presented with short progression-free (PFS) and overall survival. Hence, biomarkers predicting therapy failure are urgently needed. We analyzed copy number variations (CNVs) in blood plasma of HNC patients collected before, during and after re-RT. Detectable CNVs after five and ten fractions of re-irradiation as well as at the end of re-RT were associated with short PFS. Furthermore, we found that CNV kinetics in longitudinally collected plasma reflected therapy response and could detect disease progression in advance of radiographic tumor assessments.

• CANCAP03 single-nuclear RNA sequencing

  CANCAP03 single-nuclear RNA sequencing. Tissue punch cores for six patients, 3 from each of olaparib and olaparib and degarelix cohorts, were processed for nuclear isolation and extraction, prior to single-nuclear RNA sequencing. 10x libraries were constructed. Sequencing on NovaSeq 6000. FASTQ files were processed using CellRanger pipeline. Outputs from the CellRanger pipeline were analysed using the Seurat package in R.

• Whole genome sequencing of circulating cell-free DNA on Illumina and Ultima platforms

  The dataset includes Illumina (n=1) and Ultima (n=92) sequencing of circulating cell-free DNA. The dataset was generated through standard whole genome sequencing (Illumina n=1 & Ultima n = 15) and using a duplex unique molecular identifier whole genome sequencing workflow (Ultima, n=77). This dataset includes cancer samples and cancer-free control samples.

• Constrained hypermutation and absence of TERT promoter mutations in Lynch syndrome-associated urothelial cancer

  Lynch syndrome is a hereditary condition characterized by defective DNA mismatch repair and high incidence of several cancers, including urothelial cancers (UC) of the upper urinary tract and bladder. We set out to study the somatic landscape of LS-associated urothelial cancer (LS-UC) by analyzing 41 surgical tumor samples and 3 urine DNA samples from 34 LS-UC patients.

• Targeted DNA sequencing of 44 urothelial cancer samples from 34 Lynch syndrome patients

  Targeted Illumina sequencing of 41 tumor tissue samples and 3 urine tumor DNA samples from 34 patients with Lynch syndrome associated urothelial cancer. Target capture was performed using the UroScout hybridization capture panel targeting the coding regions of 25 urothelial cancer genes. Sequencing libraries were constructed using the Twist Biosciences Enzymatic Fragmentation DNA Library Prep kit. Sequencing was performed using an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 instrument with 2x150 bp paired sequencing.

• Randomized Phase II 2 x 2 Factorial Trial of the Addition of Carboplatin +/- Bevacizumab to Neoadjuvant Weekly Paclitaxel Followed by Dose-Dense AC in Hormone Receptor-Poor/HER2-Negative Resectable Breast Cancer: DNA Sequencing

  This randomized phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel with or without carboplatin and/or bevacizumab followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide works in treating patients with breast cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy together with bevacizumab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. All participants in this study were female. RNA sequencing data from the same patients were published under phs001863. Subject aliases are the same in the two datasets.

• Clonal Evolution of PPM1D Mutations in the Spectrum of Myeloid Disorders

  PPM1D, a central regulator of the DNA damage response, is commonly mutated in therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis (CH), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). PPM1D mutations have been shown to expand under selective pressure of DNA-damaging chemotherapy. However, whether PPM1D mutations promote the development of hematologic malignancies remains unclear.

• Copy number variations and fragmentation features in cell-free DNA predict response in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients under anti-PD-(L)1 therapy

  Anti-PD-(L)1 therapy is routinely used in metastatic NSCLC. However, response rates vary and biomarkers predicting treatment efficacy are lacking. Liquid biopsies allow monitoring of residual disease during therapy. Residual circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after therapy represents a predictive marker for adverse outcome. Here, we assessed copy number variations (CNVs) in serial plasma samples of NSCLC patients receiving PD-(L)1 blockade. We profiled CNV and fragmentation features in 118 plasma samples of advanced NSCLC patients by low-coverage whole genome sequencing taken at baseline, after four therapy cycles and at disease progression. CNVs and fragment features (i.e., fragment length, end motifs, position) were significantly altered in patients compared to healthy donors. Furthermore, fragment length changes at baseline and residual CNVs after four therapy cycles correlated with short progression-free survival. Our results highlight the suitability of plasma-based CNV and fragment analysis for disease monitoring and as a predictive marker for response duration in NSCLC patients under anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.
