• Molecular_risk_stratification_in_patients_with_T1_colorectal_cancer_WES

  The introduction of bowel cancer screening has led to a significant increase in the proportion of patients being diagnosed with asymptomatic, early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Although the majority of these patients are successfully treated with surgery alone, a small proportion of patients have ‘born-to-be-bad’ aggressive lesions with early dissemination leading to distant metastases. Current standard of care histological assessment is unable to distinguish between these aggressive versus non-aggressive early lesions which is essential to provide appropriate clinical management decisions. This study aims to carry out molecular and histological profiling of approximately 300 T1 CRCs in order to develop a molecular stratifier based on the risk of relapse in early-invasive CRC. This novel T1 cohort will represent the world’s largest molecularly characterised T1 cohort of samples, with digital pathology assessment alongside whole exome sequencing, copy number variation analysis and 3’ RNA-seq. This data will be used to generate a robust panel of molecular and/or histological markers applicable to formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) archival tissue which discriminates between T1 lesions based on risk of relapse, which will ultimately be used to inform clinical management of CRC at the earliest stages of the disease.

• Treatment stratification and biomarker validation using patient-derived head and neck cancer organoids

  Background Organoids are three-dimensional structures that can be grown from patient-derived material including carcinomas. These in vitro models can be cryopreserved to generate “living” biobanks that reflect patient heterogeneity. Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a collective term used for tumors arising in the head and neck area, including squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) and adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland. Methods to culture patient-derived HNC organoids have previously been described. Methods Organoids were derived from resection or biopsy material of patients included between 2016 and 2022. Organoids were characterised with immunohistochemistry and whole exome sequencing (WES) and exposed to chemo-, radio- and targeted-therapies. CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing was applied to validate proposed biomarkers. Results We have extended our previously published organoid biobank to a total of 110 organoid models, some of which were characterised by histology and WES. Organoids recapitulated both single nucleotide variants and copy number alterations as found in patient HNSCC samples. Organoid and patient response to radiotherapy (RT; primary (n=6) and adjuvant (n=15)) could be compared in 21 HNC cases. In the adjuvant RT group, organoids derived from patients that relapsed were more resistant to RT in vitro, showing potential for guiding treatment options in this subset of patients. Conclusion Taken together, these results indicate illustrate the potential of organoids as a diagnostic tool in personalised medicine for HNC and indicate the potential of this technology for biomarker discovery and validation within the context of relevant patient heterogeneity.

• Whole exome and RNA sequencing data from urothelial bladder cancer patients treated with anti-PD-(L)1

  We have generated and analyzed genomic data from a cohort of metastatic urothelial carcinoma patients treated with ICI such as anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibodies. The dataset contains whole exome sequencing data of 27 whole blood samples and 27 FFPE tumor samples. Further, it includes RNA sequencing data from 21 tumor samples. Following the RECIST criteria, 10 patients were classified as non-responders to the treatment, and 17 were responders. The dataset also contains a merged vcf file containing somatic mutations called by Strelka2 and Mutect2 following the gatk best practice pipeline.

• Novel mutations in TOP2A in gliomas

  High grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive, primary brain tumors with poor clinical outcomes. To better understand glioma pathobiology and find potential therapeutic susceptibilities, we designed a custom- panel 664 cancer- and epigenetics-related genes and employed targeted next generation sequencing to study the genomic landscape of somatic and germline variants in 182 glioma samples of different malignancy grades. Besides known alterations in TP53, IDH1, ATRX, EGFR genes, we found several novel variants that can be potential drivers in gliomas. In four patients from the Polish glioma cohort, we identified a novel recurrent mutation in the TOP2A gene coding for Topoisomerase 2A in glioblastomas (GBM, WHO grade IV gliomas). The mutation results in a substitution of glutamic acid (E) 948 to glutamine (Q) of TOP2 A and we predicted this E948Q substitution may affect DNA binding and a TOP2A enzymatic activity.

• Clinical outcomes and immune correlates of response to nivolumab plus chemoradiotherapy in women with locally-advanced cervical cancer – NiCOL study

  Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with blockade of the PD-1 pathway may enhance immune-mediated tumor control through increased phagocytosis, cell death, and antigen presentation. The NiCOL phase 1 trial was designed to determine safety, tolerance, and immune correlates of response to the PD-1 blocking antibody, nivolumab, with and following concurrent CRT in 16 women with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Three patients experienced grade 3 dose-limiting toxicities. The overall response rate was 93.8% [95%CI: 69.8%-99.8%] with a 2-year PFS of 75% [95% CI: 56.5%-99.5%]. Compared to patients with progressive disease (PD), progression-free (PF) subjects showed a brisker stromal immune infiltrate, higher proximity of tumor-infiltrating CD3+ T cells to PD-L1+ tumor cells and of Foxp3+ T cells to proliferating CD11c+ myeloid cells. PF had higher baseline levels of PD-1 on EMRA CD4+ T cells and ICOS-L on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) vs PD, which instead displayed enhanced PD-L1 expression on TAMs and higher, circulating frequencies of proliferating Tregs at baseline. Concomitant nivolumab plus definitive CRT is safe and associated with encouraging PFS rates. Further validation in the subset of LACC displaying pre-existing, adaptive immune activation is warranted.

• POETIC clinical Trial Ki67 Bookend Breast Cancer Targeted Exome and RNAseq Project

  Using RNAseq, we compare the 15% of poorest responders (PRs, n=177) as measured by proportional Ki67 changes after 2 weeks of neoadjuvant aromatase inhibitors to good responders (GRs, n=190) selected from the top 50% responders in the POETIC trial and matched for baseline Ki67 categories. In the POETIC trial, 4,480 postmenopausal women with primary ER+ BC were randomised 2:1 to receive either treatment with a non-steroidal AI (letrozole or anastrozole) for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery or to no perisurgical treatment. Only AI-treated patients with HER2- tumors, paired baseline and surgery Ki67 available, and baseline Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC) >10% (to minimise imprecision in proportional Ki67 falls) were included for selection. Data is baseline RNAseq and targeted exome DNA sequencing analysis of POETIC Good/Poor Responders to aromatase inhibitors based on change in Ki67.

• Distinct embryonic phylogenies and driver events of infant Wilms tumor - RNA

  Cancers of adults typically arise through progressive rounds of clonal diversification and intratumoral selective sweeps which generate a long mutational trunk with shorter subclonal branches. Here, we investigated whether tumors of young children exhibit the same phylogenetic configuration. We studied three infants, including two newborns, with the childhood kidney cancer, Wilms tumour, through whole genome sequencing of bulk tissues, of single cell derived organoids, and of microdissections. All three cancers exhibited unusual driver events, with tumours of newborns harbouring FOXR2 rearrangements, delineating a distinct variant of Wilms tumour. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that tumors were seeded in an early, possibly confined window of development. Unusually, following seeding there was extensive polyclonal diversification with little evidence of clonal sweeps, leading to a distinct phylogenetic configuration more reminiscent of normal tissues rather than of adult cancers. These findings indicate that some childhood cancers may diversify via unorthodox phylogenetic pathways.
