AR amplification

(Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04159896. Registration date: November 12, 2019.).

Our findings provide evidence that IDH1 hotspot mutations serve as driver alterations in this rare yet distinct molecular subset of PCa. Further studies are warranted to correlate response to androgen deprivation and IDH inhibitors.

The androgen receptor AR antagonists, such as enzalutamide and apalutamide, are efficient therapeutics for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). It potently inhibits cell growth with IC50 values of 4.87 ± 0.52 and 2.07 ± 0.34 μM in the LNCaP and 22RV1 cell lines, respectively, and exhibited effective tumor growth inhibition (TGI = 50.9 %) in the 22RV1 xenograft study. These data suggest that 20i has the potential for development as an AR/AR-V7 inhibitor with degradation ability to treat advanced prostate cancer.

Among 23 patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), 6 patients (26.1%) had one or a combination of several AR alterations, while only 2 out of 54 patients (3.7%) in the hormone-sensitive stage showed AR alterations. These findings were consistent with other studies and suggest that implementation of a comprehensive AR status detection in clinical practice is feasible and can support the treatment decision-making process.

The patient received docetaxel chemotherapy and pelvic radiotherapy. In a literature review, this case demonstrated the longest duration of effectiveness with olaparib alone without platinum-based chemotherapy. Additionally, the occurrence of relatively rare, fatal brain metastases in prostate cancer after a long period of CR suggests the necessity of regular brain imaging examinations.

In this real-world clinicogenomics database-driven study we explored the development of AR alterations and their association with ARTA treatment outcomes. Our study showed that AR amplifications are associated with longer time to progression on first ARTA treatment. Further prospective studies are needed to optimize therapeutic strategies for patients with AR alterations.

AR-amp was associated with high nadir PSA and low iPSA/PSA ratio. AR-amp was significantly associated with poor prognosis in Japanese patients with CRPC.

Our study revealed dynamic shifts in genetic mutations in pts with mCRPC following ARSi, PARPi and taxanes. Additionally, we highlight the prognostic significant of ctDNA burden in mCRPC. These data can help inform personalized sequential tx strategies for pts with mCRPC.

Although FGFRi treatments suppressed tumor growth across CRPC phenotypes, our analyses did not identify a single pathway or biomarker that would identify tumor response to FGFRi. This is very likely due to the array of FGFR1-4 expression and tumor phenotypes present in CRPC. Nevertheless, our data nominate the FGFR pathway as a clinically actionable target that promotes tumor growth in diverse phenotypes of treatment-refractory metastatic CRPC.

We identified genomic alterations (TP53 mutations, FOXA1 and AR amplification, RB1 and BRCA2 deletions) from primary prostate tumors that are predictive of wide-spread metastases and poor outcomes.

Analysis of PDX models by optical genome mapping and fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that AR residing on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) was an underlying mechanism, and was associated with elevated levels and diversity of AR expression. This study identifies co-evolution of AR gene copy number and structural complexity via ecDNA as a mechanism associated with endocrine therapy resistance.
