BackgroundIn estrogen receptor–positive metastatic breast cancer, ESR1 mutations (ESR1m) are a common mechanism of acquired resistance to aromatase inhibitors (ArIh). However, the impact alterations have on CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) sensitivity has not been established. Analyses CDK4/6i trials suggest that endocrine therapy partner and specific allele may affect susceptibility. We analyzed real-world data set investigate efficacy in ESR1m cancer associated clinical factors.MethodsESR1m were...

Abstract Background Impact of BRAF V600E mutations (BRAFV600E), a poor prognostic factor in metastatic colorectal cancer, is lacking non-CRC gastrointestinal (GI) cancers including pancreatic (PDAC), gastric/gastroesophageal (GEA), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Due to tumor-agnostic approvals for patients with BRAFV600E, understanding the frequency impact alterations across GI essential clinical decision-making. Methods Patients PDAC, GEA, HCC, or CCA who had...
Abstract Somatic BRAF alterations occur in up to 5% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and comprise three mechanistically distinct molecular subtypes: Class I (e.g., V600E) function as constitutively active monomers, II that signal RAS-independent mutant homodimers, III activate MAPK signaling via RAS-dependent BRAF/wild-type RAF heterodimers. While V600E (Class I) mutations are effectively targeted by approved therapies against these oncogenic there no established treatments for...
4200 Background: CUP accounts for <5% of cancers and carries a dismal prognosis with median overall survival ~13 months. Studies suggest up to one-third patients (pts) have potentially targetable alteration (PTA) that may be eligible molecularly guided therapy (MGT). Liquid biopsy (LB) is non-invasive method identify PTAs genomic clues regarding primary site via circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). We characterize the ctDNA landscape in evaluate outcomes pts receiving MGT. Methods: Real-world...
Extracellular matrix changes are often crucial inciting events for fibroproliferative disease. Epigenetic changes, specifically DNA methylation, critical factors underlying differentiated phenotypes. We examined the dependency of matrix-induced fibroproliferation and SMC phenotype on methyltransferases. The cooperativity with growth factors, cell density hypoxia was also examined. Primary rat visceral early passage (0-2) were plated native collagen or damaged/heat-denatured collagen. Hypoxia...
PURPOSE Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is typically treated with agents directly or indirectly targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway. However, such treatment limited by resistance mechanisms, including development of activating mutations in AR ligand-binding domain ( AR-LBD). METHODS This study evaluated a database over 15,000 patients advanced (PC) undergoing comprehensive circulating-tumor DNA analysis (Guardant360, Redwood City, CA) between 2014 and 2021,...
1071 Background: Elacestrant was the first novel endocrine therapy (ET) to receive FDA approval in over two decades. In EMERALD study, pts with ESR1-mutant ( ESR1m) HR+/HER2-negative aBC had a median progression free survival (PFS) of 3.8 months (mos). Here, we use large clinical-genomic database assess RW elacestrant and examine impact line (LOT) number ERS1m on pt outcomes. Methods: Pts HR+/HER2- were identified via GuardantINFORM database; all ESR1m detected circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)...

9106 Background: The introduction of KRAS G12C inhibitors into clinical trials has demonstrated promise and may provide a new therapeutic option for patients (pts) harboring mutations. Recent data also indicated that immune checkpoint (ICI) have shown benefit in mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); however, on the impact co-occurring STK11 mutations outcomes are conflicting. We utilized Guardant INFORM real-world clinical-genomic database to assess pts with LUAD treated first-line ICI...

Abstract Background: While CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is standard-of-care first-line (1L) for hormone-positive (HR+), HER2-negative mBC, there ongoing debate regarding optimal use of the three FDA-approved CDK4/6i drugs. All drugs have demonstrated significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), but only two overall (OS). These trial data prompted selection and sequencing these To further evaluate this, we analyzed a RW clinical-genomic database to explore...
