GSK Medicie: Not applicable Study Number: 116196 (ONCO-RD-011) Title: Tissue Biomarker Study: Shapig Treatmet i Melaoma Ratioale: This study aimed at defiig ew therapeutic strategies better treatmet of melaoma patiets by mappig some key tissue biomarkers i melaoma with promisig cacer immuotherapeutic cadidate. This was reached by examiig the Gee Sigature (GS) ad the expressio of MAGE-A3, other tumor atiges ad kow biomarkers idividually or i combiatio, i differet stages of the disease ad to determie their progostic value. The study was termiated early o 30 April 2014 followig assessmet of the lack of efficacy of the MAGE-A3 ASCI study product Phase 3 Mage 3 studies. Pre-specified testigs that had ot bee permed by the, were ot goig to be doe aymore. Study Period: Formali Fixed Paraffi Embedded (FFPE) samples were recruited from 1994 to 2011. Objectives: To determie the level of expressio of 1) MAGE[Melaoma AtiGE]-A3, 2) other tumor atiges {PRAME [Preferetially expressed Atige of Melaoma], NY- ES0-1) ad 3) prove biomarkers {B-RAF) ad if sufficiet material is available N-RAS ad C- KIT, either idividually or i combiatio, i primary ski tumors ad distat metastasis. To evaluate the tumor atige promoter methylatio status: Examie the feasibility of the curret MAGE-A3 Reverse Trascriptio-Polymerase Chai Reactio (RT-PCR) screeig assay tumor samples derived from setiel lymph odes (SLN). Correlate the demethylatio assay betwee paired fresh froze ad FFPE tumor samples. Optimize demethylatio MAGE-A3 assay SLN ad blood. To evaluate the predictive GS foud i primary ski lesios ad tumor ifiltrated lymph odes*. No categorizatio was made betwee primary ad secodary objectives i the study protocol. As such, all objectives were classified as primary this results summary. *Objective ot permed due to early termiatio of the study. Idicatio: Melaoma Treatmet Study Ivestigators/Ceters: 1 Ceter i Spai Research Methods: from macro-dissected samples: all selected blocks were 1 slide of 5mm staied with H&E to defie. Pictures were take ad set to GSK Bio to cofirm selected. A of at least 50 mm2 was macro-dissected ad picture take from each samples usig as may slides as suggested by GSK Bio. was extracted ad quatified the amout extracted (aodrop). was permed usig QIAamp FFPE tissue kit (Qiage) followig maufacturer s istructios. Raw Data was set to GSK Bio. If quality was sufficiet, aalysis the detectio of mutatios BRAF, NRAS ad c-kit was permed. Iitially it was decided to look somatic mutatios o samples BRAF (exo 11 ad 15), NRAS (exos 1 ad 2) ad C-KIT (exos 9, 11, 13, 17 ad 18) ad also perm Multiplex Ligatio-depedet Probe Amplificatio (MLPA) aalysis usig P175 kit from MRC-HOLLAND. Testig strategy was first sequecig exo 15 from BRAF ad if it was positive, go o with MLPA ad the remaiig exos ad gees. Results evideced a lack of amplificatio too may samples, so ew strategies i order to obtai PCR products were developed. Some samples were diluted i some cases ad was amplified. Takig i cosideratio the difficulty of CKIT amplificatio, the small percetage of mutatios foud i that gee ad the total amout of it was decided to focus o BRAF ad NRAS sequecig.

If there was eough, a fluorescet allele-specific PCR followed by capillary electrophoresis was permed to detect the BRAF V600E mutatio, after BRAF ad NRAS sequecig, to cofirm the results foud durig the sequecig process. from fresh froze tumor samples: from selected samples was obtaied usig QIAamp Mii Kit. quatificatio ad purificatio was permed usig aodrop ad was kept at -80ºC. Data Source: Tissue samples obtaied from patiets with pathologically prove stage II, Ill ad IV melaoma specimes ad correspodig patiet data were obtaied from bio bak of the Hospital Cliic of Barceloa. Specifically, access to the followig was used: tumor tissue samples ad a restricted set of specific cliical data of the patiets. Study Desig: This was a retrospective study based upo the aalysis of melaoma specimes ad correspodig patiet-related data already available. There was o study treatmet, ad o study-specific procedure was to be carried out o patiets. Study Populatio: Male ad female melaoma patiets diagosed with stage II, III ad IV, with relapse ad free of relapse, respectively. Owig the retrospective ature of the study, all data ad samples were take from those already stored at the ivestigatio site this reaso may patiets may o loger be alive, or o loger i cotact with the ivestigatio site. Strict aoymity of all data was established ad maitaied. Study Exposures, Outcomes: Tissues samples were classified i Primary tumor, SLN ad metastasis groups. The samples were obtaied from patiets with pathologically prove stage II, III ad IV melaoma specimes. The followig subgroups were defied accordig to the stagig: Stage II free of relapse, Stage II to IV, Stage III free of relapse ad Stage III to IV Please refer to the objectives of this documet, all study outcome variables were defied i this paragraph. No categorizatio was made betwee primary ad secodary outcomes i the study protocol. As such, all outcomes were classified as primary this results summary. Data Aalysis Methods: I order to assess whether some characteristics of the sample could affect to the sequecig success, differet parameters were evaluated (% of tumor i, % of tumoral cells i, % of immue,, % of other, / (mm2), ad ) i all samples selected ad accordig to: Stagig (stage II free of relapse, stage III free of relapse, Stage II o IV ad Stage III to IV), sample type (Primary tumor, SLN, metastasis), age of the block (<5 years, 5 to 10 years, >10 years), success (OK, o OK), sequecig process success (BRAF ad NRAS sequeced, oly oe gee sequeced, oe of the gees sequeced) ad mutatioal status of the samples (BRAF/NRAS Wild Type [WT], MUTATED). The variables % of tumor i, % of tumoral, % of immue,, % of other, / (mm2), ad did ot follow a Normal distributio. Thus, oparametric tests (Kruskal Wallis) were used i order to aalyze data. The Pearso correlatio betwee ad ad the other cotiuous variables was also assessed. The 2-sided Exact Fisher test was used categorical variables. All p-values were corrected usig the False Discovery Rate method.
