BriTROC personalised biomarkers in relapsed ovarian high grade serous carcinoma GCIG Translational Committee 4 th June 2016 Iain McNeish Professor of Gynaecological Oncology Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre Institute of Cancer Sciences University of Glasgow, UK
Big translational questions in HGSOC Can we develop novel therapies for HGSOC with accurate predictive biomarkers? (Clinical) How does recurrent HGSC evolve into platinum-resistant disease? (Translational) Can we develop decent pre-clinical models of HGSC? (Basic science)

BriTROC1 Study Sample Collection Study to Investigate the Role of Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Platinum Sensitivity in Recurrent High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
BriTROC1 study Multi-centre, study. Study recruitment: 300 biopsies/samples (c.12 sites in the UK) over 4 years. Timelines: - Open to recruitment 14 th December 2012 - Planned accrual completion December 2016
BriTROC study Carboplatin-based chemotherapy 1 6 12 18 months Refractory Resistant Partially sensitive Sensitive Sample from diagnosis Q3 100 biopsies platinum-resistant Q2 200 biopsies platinum-sensitive Q1
Study Objectives Safety and feasibility of obtaining recurrent biopsies. To obtain 300 biopsies from women with relapsed HGSC. To assess Homologous Recombination (HR) genes in relapsed HGSC compared with the same genes in tumours at first presentation. To compare HR genes in platinum-sensitive vs platinum-resistant relapsed HGSC. To compared somatic mutations with those identified in ctdna
Inclusion Criteria Relapsed HGSC (+ G3 endometrioid) At least one line of platinum-containing chemotherapy FFPE material from time of diagnosis available (NOT ascites cytology). Disease suitable for biopsy Patients also allowed to enter at secondary debulking
Exclusion Criteria Non-HGSC pathology Original diagnosis of high grade serous cancer made on cytology only Disease not amenable to biopsy
Samples and Sample Collection 2 x 14 16G cores fixed in methanol (UMFix) Access to 1 archival FFPE block. 20ml blood for plasma for ctdna. Extra 20ml for genomic DNA extraction Optional 10ml blood immediately prior to both first and second cycles of chemotherapy following biopsy for ctdna

The science programme Personalised biomarkers of response in ovarian high-grade serous cancer James D. Brenton Iain A. McNeish
Aim 1: How does relapsed HGSC differ from time of diagnosis? 1. Sequencing of BriTROC relapse samples TAm-Seq cancer panel at great depth (2000x) Shallow whole genome sequencing - CNA Deep whole genome sequencing - SV Comparison with sample at time of diagnosis Germline DNA sequencing 2. Clonal heterogeneity Detailed re-sequencing of primary tumour
BriTROC some quick results Relapse sample Diagnostic sample
BriTROC some quick results Patient number 1. Diagnosed 20 months prior to enrolment. Two prior lines of chemo, platinum-resistant relapse TAmSeq: (archival and relapse) TP53 H179Y PIK3CA E542K
BriTROC some quick results Patient number 17. Diagnosed 30 months prior to enrolment. One prior line of chemo, platinum-sensitive relapse TAmSeq (archival and relapse): TP53 R282W
Conclusions part 2 and future direction Obtaining tissue in relapsed HGSC is feasible and safe p53 mutations are constant Deep WGS on relapsed samples Define utility of ctdna
