    Biomarker Analysis of phase II CAVE2 GOIM study of the combination of avelumab plus cetuximab as rechallenge strategy in pre-treated RAS/BRAF wild type metastatic colorectal cancer patients (AIOM 2024)
    These preliminary findings suggest that evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity together with CD107a expression in mCRC patients derived PBMC could be a useful tool to identify early responders after only 8 weeks of treatment with cetuximab plus avelumab. In addition, we aim to further investigate the potential role of CCL5 secreted by peripheral immune cells and its cut-off as a predictive biomarker of mCRC progression in a larger cohort of patients.

    ctDNA Tumor Fraction Quantifies Tumor-Derived DNA in FoundationOne Liquid CDx (F1LCDx) (AMP 2024)
    F1LCDx TF accurately quantifies ctDNA fraction in LBx samples. Patients with elevated TF (≥1% TF) have high concordance with TBx results, providing increased confidence in LBx negative results, potentially identifying patients where reflex to TBx may be less valuable, for example, in a trial enrollment setting.

    Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Testing in TALAPRO-2 Complements Tumor Testing to Gain a Greater Understanding of the Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Mutational Landscape (AMP 2024)
    Introduction: TALAPRO-2 (NCT03395197) demonstrated that first-line talazoparib + enzalutamide significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival versus placebo + enzalutamide for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). These results are supportive of the ability of F1LCDx to sensitively detect alterations in HRR genes, and the likely overall modest impact of CHiP in calling HRR gene alteration status in this study. These results support the complementary benefits of ctDNA testing to tumor tissue testing in assessing current disease alteration status, particularly AR.

    55% (42/77) of liquid samples with a KIT -driver mutation had a co-occurring imatinib-resistant alteration, and a minority of cases harbored non- KIT mechanisms of resistance such as FGFR2 fusion, BRAF or EGFR alterations... Known driver and TKI-resistant mutations are identified in liquid biopsies of patients with GIST, with high concordance to tissue in the presence of elevated TF. Liquid biopsy may be valuable in the molecular classification of GIST during the medical management of advanced disease.

Tissue and liquid biopsies were analyzed by FoundationONE®CDx and FoundationOne®Liquid, respectively. This exploratory analysis provides a detailed profiling of the molecular alterations found in ES-SCLC pts from IMfirst, assessed by solid and liquid biopsies at baseline and progression. The potential prognostic value of the identified genes should be further validated.

Its rapid turnaround time compared to tissue screening underscores its potential in expediting treatment initiation, enhancing clinical trial enrollment, and mitigating biopsy-related limitations.

    Application of tissue and liquid-based next generation sequencing (NGS) for comprehensive genomic profiling: Evaluating the clinical value of ctDNA technology in treatment decision making (ESMO 2024)
    In treatment naïve incurable, advanced-stage cancer, identification of Tier 1 variants was comparable with tissue versus tissue+liquid biopsy. The addition of F1LCDx to tissue testing was complementary, with 75% concordance and identification of 10% liquid-exclusive Tier 1 variants.

    Gene rearrangements, actionability and access to precision medicine: Results from the ARCAGEN study (ESMO 2024)
    Rearrangements in rare cancers have at least, a similar rate as in common cancers and can be targeted. However, despite identification of the alterations, treatment access remains limited.

    A case of treatment-resistant advanced gastric cancer with FGFR2 gene alteration successfully treated with pemigatinib. (PubMed)
    The patient (male, 52 years old) was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer (cStage IV, cT4aN3M1 [LYM], por, HER2 0, microsatellite stable) and received docetaxel + cisplatin + S-1 (7 cycles), irinotecan + ramucirumab (11 cycles), and nivolumab (3 cycles), but experienced progressive disease (PD)...After three cycles of TAS-102, the patient experienced PD and provided consent for the off-label use of pemigatinib...To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pemigatinib therapy employed in a patient with advanced gastric cancer exhibiting FGFR2 gene alterations. This case could serve as a notable example of tumor-agnostic therapy to broaden treatment options for gastric cancer patients with rare genetic alterations.

    U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Approves FoundationOne Liquid CDx as a Companion Diagnostic for AKEEGA (niraparib and abiraterone acetate) for Patients with BRCA-Positive Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (Businesswire)
    "Foundation Medicine, Inc. today announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for FoundationOne Liquid CDx to be used as a companion diagnostic for AKEEGA (niraparib and abiraterone acetate) from Janssen Biotech, Inc, a Johnson & Johnson company, the first and only FDA-approved dual-action tablet combining PARP inhibition and hormone therapy for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)."

    Three cases of malignant phyllodes tumor in our department (JBCS 2024)
    Eribulin and pazopanib were administered, but the treatment was ineffective and the patient passed away...The patient requested conservative observation with only denosumab administration, and subsequently passed away...These two mutations were consistent with Cowden syndrome and Li-Fraumeni syndrome, but there was no family history, so the patient was diagnosed with a somatic mutation. We report the progress of the cases and the genetic mutations, including a literature review

    Current status of gene panel testing in our department and a case report (JBCS 2024)
    Gemcitabine+Carboplatin therapy was administered while waiting for the test results to come out, and it was highly effective. In such a situation, for patients with NTRK fusion genes, which are companion diagnostics for Entrectinib, and PALB2 gene mutations, which are suggested to be sensitive to Olaparib, early use of CGP testing contributes to improving prognosis, so the significance of early implementation of CGP testing is also being questioned. In one case experienced in our department, it is possible that better Carboplatin response and Olaparib sensitivity could have been maintained if CGP had been performed early
