4P Targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in platinum-resistant ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma: Translational analysis from the randomized phase II OCTOPUS trial
Annals of Oncology(2022)
Abstract
BackgroundIn arm 1 of the phase II randomised OCTOPUS trial (ISRCTN16426935), no significant differences in Progression-Free Survival (PFS) or Overall Survival were observed with the addition of vistusertib (V), a dual mTORC1/2 inhibitor, to weekly paclitaxel (wP) in platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma. However, preliminary immunohistochemistry (IHC) data suggested that PTEN status may be predictive of benefit of addition of V to wP. Aim: We evaluated if PTEN expression (scored using quantitative digital IHC) or specific genomic features might be predictive of V benefit. We also compared genomic profiles in archival and study entry specimens.MethodsPTEN expression in archival samples (N=68) was scored using QuPath Histo-score (H-score; range 0-300), and compared to pathologist scoring. In archival (N=43) and study entry (N=35) samples, DNA copy number (CN) and CN signature exposure were assessed using shallow whole genome sequencing; target sequencing was performed using a custom panel (Illumina AmpliSeq).ResultsDigital quantification of PTEN status was feasible with a high correlation between QuPath and pathologist scores (r=0.94, p<0.0001 for tumour; r=0.70, p=0.009 for non-tumour). H-score variability was lower in non-tumour than in tumour cells. Patients with low PTEN tumours (defined as tumour
