• Whole genome sequencing

  The diversity and heterogeneity within high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is not well understood. We performed whole genome sequencing on primary and metastatic sites from highly clinically annotated HGSC samples. Samples were obtained pre-treatment based on a laparoscopic triage algorithm from patients who underwent R0 tumor debulking, or received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with excellent or poor response.

• CTSP: Clinical Trial Sequencing Project

  For the Clinical Trials Sequencing Project (CTSP), National Cancer Institute (NCI) will utilize whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing in conjunction with transcriptome sequencing to try to identify recurrent genetic alterations (mutations, deletions, amplifications, rearrangements) and/or gene expression signatures that would be important to the hypothesis(es) submitted by the investigators. The samples will be processed and submitted for genomic characterization using pipelines and procedures established within The Cancer Genome Analysis (TCGA) project. Data analysis will be performed as a collaboration between the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) Group and its investigators submitting the proposal. The investigators at the NCI-sponsored Genomic Data Analysis Center (GDAC) will characterize the samples. The NCTN Group will be responsible for providing the clinical data needed for the proposal to the open clinical system maintained by NCI CCG's Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR) at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The project team (Network Group/investigators and GDAC) will analyze the data together. Additionally, clinical and genomic data related to the analyses will also need to be registered by NCI and will be made available to qualified researchers via a controlled-access database (e.g., dbGaP) upon publication of the primary analysis described in the study proposal. A substudy description and its molecular data information are provided under its own page: phs001184 CTSP Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) CALGB 50303

• UCSF Database for the Advancement of JMML - Integration of Metadata with Omic Data

  Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare and frequently fatal myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disorder of early childhood with an estimated incidence of 1.2 cases per million. It is associated with a spectrum of diverse outcomes ranging from spontaneous resolution in rare patients to transformation to acute myeloid leukemia in others. The overwhelming majority of JMML patients (~95%) will harbor mutations in canonical Ras pathway genes, including NF1, NRAS, KRAS, PTPN11, and CBL. As Ras proteins are mutated in more than 30% of human cancers, the information gleaned from the study of JMML has provided insights into Ras signaling in cancer as well as a group of congenital diseases with tumor predispositions known as the “Rasopathies”. While oncogenic Ras is one of the most common mutations in human cancer, it remains one of the most vexing targets for efficacious therapy. To better understand this disease, a JMML tissue bank was established at UCSF that allows for consenting of subjects, biobanking of tissue and collection of follow up data from patients both locally and at other institutions. Through the collection and analysis of specimens, knowledge about the genetic, epigenetic, and biochemical basis of JMML has been gained. This integrated database will enable future JMML research, and importantly, additional Ras/MAPK pathway research by depositing linked, processed data to well annotated anonymized patients in an easily accessible online database

• The Dynamic Immune Behavior of Primary and Metastatic Ovarian Carcinoma

  Patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and often develop resistance to conventional therapy. Epithelial ovarian tumors have been shown to be rich in CD8+ lymphocytes, which infiltrate both primary and omental sites. In recent years, several prominent studies have highlighted a positive association between the presence of these immune cells and a good prognosis; however, clinical trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors have so far shown unsatisfactory results in ovarian cancer. In this study, we used an innovative combination of single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to identify the molecular mechanisms that lead to immunosuppression in primary and metastatic HGSC. Primary tumors consistently showed a more active immune microenvironment than did omental tumors. In addition, while several immune cell subtypes were present in all samples, their relative abundance differed between primary and omental tumors. Finally, we found that primary tumors were mostly populated by dysfunctional CD4 and CD8 T cells in later stages of differentiation, while omental tumors were mostly populated by naïve immune cells; this, in turn, was correlated with expression changes in the interferon α and γ pathways in epithelial cells, showing that cross-communication between the epithelial and immune compartments is important for immune suppression in ovarian cancer. These findings can impact the timing and choice of immune-modulating drugs and should be considered when planning treatment for patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.

• Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade in women with mismatch repair deficient endometrial cancer

  Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has shown unprecedented activity in mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) colorectal cancers, but its effectiveness in MMRd endometrial cancer (EC) remains unknown. In this investigator-driven, phase I, feasibility study (NCT04262089), 10 women with MMRd EC of any grade, planned for primary surgery, received two cycles of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (200 mg IV) every three weeks. A pathologic response (primary objective) was observed in 5/10 patients, with 2 patients showing a major pathologic response. No patient achieved a complete pathologic response. A partial radiologic response (secondary objective) was observed in 3/10 patients, 5/10 patients had stable disease and 2/10 patients were non-evaluable on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). All patients completed treatment without severe toxicity (exploratory objective). At median duration of follow-up of 22.5 months, two non-responders experienced disease recurrence. In-depth analysis of the loco-regional and systemic immune response (predefined exploratory objective) showed that monoclonal T cell expansion significantly correlated with treatment response. Tumour-draining lymph nodes displayed clonal overlap with intra-tumoural T cell expansion. All pre-specified endpoints, efficacy in terms of pathologic response as primary endpoint, radiologic response as secondary outcome and safety and tolerability as exploratory endpoint, were reached. Neoadjuvant ICB with pembrolizumab proved safe and induced pathologic, radiologic, and immunologic responses in MMRd EC, warranting further exploration of extended neoadjuvant treatment.

• RB1 Gene Inactivation by Chromothripsis in Human Retinoblastoma

  Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer of the developing retina. Most retinoblastomas initiate with biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene through diverse mechanisms including point mutations, nucleotide insertions, deletions, loss of heterozygosity and promoter hypermethylation. Recently, a novel mechanism of retinoblastoma initiation was proposed. Gallie and colleagues discovered that a small proportion of retinoblastomas lack RB1 mutations and had MYCN amplification [1]. In this study, we identified recurrent chromosomal, regional and focal genomic lesions in 94 primary retinoblastomas with their matched normal DNA using SNP 6.0 chips. We also analyzed the RB1 gene mutations and compared the mechanism of RB1 inactivation to the recurrent copy number variations in the retinoblastoma genome. In addition to the previously described focal amplification of MYCN and deletions in RB1 and BCOR, we also identified recurrent focal amplification of OTX2, a transcription factor required for retinal photoreceptor development. We identified 10 retinoblastomas in our cohort that lacked RB1 point mutations or indels. We performed whole genome sequencing on those 10 tumors and their corresponding germline DNA. In one of the tumors, the RB1 gene was unaltered, the MYCN gene was amplified and RB1 protein was expressed in the nuclei of the tumor cells. In addition, several tumors had complex patterns of structural variations and we identified 3 tumors with chromothripsis at the RB1 locus. This is the first report of chromothripsis as a mechanism for RB1 gene inactivation in cancer.
