PIK3CA Q546K

However, clinical trials have been predominantly carried out with selected populations and single drugs (Palbociclib, Ribociclib or Abemaciclib). At baseline, and considering the pre-defined criteria, ctDNA analysis detected PIK3CA mutations in 32.25% and 44.44% of patients by AVENIO and ddPCR, respectively. ESR1 mutations were detected in 3.22% and 9.37% by AVENIO and ddPCR, respectively. For PIK3CA mutations, the Kappa value was 0.62 (p-value: 0.0004) and 0.47 for ESR1 mutations (p-value: 0.0039).

In this group of HR/HER2 breast cancer patients, common PIK3CA gene mutations account for the vast majority of the mutations. New rare variants in PIK3CA are also identified while their clinical significance needs to be further studied in a large cohort and/or multi-center study.

A smaller fraction of H1047R in blood compared to a tumor indicates its low copy number in circulation. Thus H1047R mutation can be used as a predictive pCR and the development of a specific inhibitor against this mutation may be useful in the fight against this breast cancer subtype.

The reliability of the experimental results was verified by the qRT-PCR test. The constructed SERS-based analytical micro-platform has great potential in dynamic monitoring of cancer staging and could be used as a clinical tool for early cancer screening.

Somatic hotspot mutations KRAS p.G12C and PIK3CA p.Q546K are associated with colorectal cancers from biallelic MUTYH carriers compared with non-carriers (p = 2 × 10 and p = 6 × 10, respectively). Here, we demonstrate the potential application of mutational signatures to tumor sequencing workflows to improve the identification of biallelic MUTYH carriers.

Cohort A: HR+/HER2- pts receiving fulvestrant (FUL) alone (n = 124) or ALP/FUL (n = 111) in treatment line ≥2L were considered in survival analysis . This study validates the activity of ALP among a diverse real world population, showing pts with PIK3CA mutations have longer rwPFS on ALP/FUL than FUL alone . Pts with SOLAR1m were more likely to be treated with ALP- and tended to be treated in earlier line setting- than pts with OTHERm . No consistent effect in a small subset of pts with OTHERm treated with ALP was observed, but there is evidence that OTHERm may differ in their degree of PI3K activation, oncogenicity, and ALP sensitivity .

Further validation of these mutations using PIK3CA reporter assays led to the identification of several significant hypo-morphic signals in TP53 mutant samples. We defined this phenomenon as mutational mimicry (i.e. mutations in proteins mimicking those in established oncogenes) and we propose it as a tool for predicting tumor sensitivity/resistance to drugs.
