ASCO 2017: MSKCC to Present Prospective Study of Plasma ctDNA in NSCLC cancers matched to targeted therapy.

SEATTLE, June 3rd, 2017 --Resolution Bioscience, Inc. is proud to announce the presentation by collaborators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Northern Cancer Institute, University of Sydney at today's ASCO conference in Chicago

Results: Forty-one pts were prospectively accrued. Plasma ctDNA detected an oncogenic driver in 39% (16/41) of pts, of whom 17% (7/41) were matched to targeted therapy; including pts matched to clinical trials for HER2 exon 20 insertionYVMA, BRAF L597Q and MET exon14. Mean turnaround time for plasma was 7 days (4-12) and 28 days (20-43) for tissue. Plasma ctDNA was detected in 56% (23/41) of pts; detection was 40% (8/20) if blood was drawn on active therapy and 71% (15/21) if drawn off therapy, either at diagnosis or progression (Odds ratio 0.28, 95% CI 0.06 - 1.16; p = 0.06). All pts had concurrent tissue NGS; of the 10 samples resulted, there was 100% driver concordance between tissue and plasma in pts drawn off therapy.

Conclusions: In pts who were driver unknown or who had clinical concern for tumor heterogeneity, plasma ctDNA NGS identified a variety of oncogenic drivers with a short turnaround time and matched them to targeted therapy. Plasma ctDNA detection was more frequent at diagnosis of metastatic disease or at progression. A positive finding of an oncogenic driver in plasma is highly specific, but a negative finding may still require tissue biopsy.

ASCO 2017: Northwestern University and Vanderbilt to Present Plasma-based Longitudinal Monitoring of Mutations and T-cell Repertoire in Small Cell Lung Cancer.

SEATTLE, June 3rd, 2017 --Resolution Bioscience, Inc. is proud to announce the presentation by collaborators at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Northwestern University School of Medicine at today's ASCO conference in Chicago

Results: We detected somatic, disease-associated mutations in 85% of patient samples (23/27) with allele frequencies of cfDNA ranging from ≤0.5% to ≥85%. The most commonly mutated genes were TP53 (17/27 patients) and RB1 (10/27 patients). We detected 87 unique genomic alterations in 12 different genes (in addition to TP53 and RB1 these included PTEN, NOTCH1-4, MYC, MYCL1, PIK3CA, KIT, and BRAF). The observed mutant allele frequencies in longitudinal samples tracked with treatment response, including cases in which cfDNA allele frequencies increased before clinical evidence of relapse. Longitudinal monitoring of T cell repertoire demonstrated both variability between patients and sequential changes during therapy, including one case of decreased T cell numbers accompanying disease relapse.

Conclusions: As the field of immuno-oncology matures, we anticipate that coupled determination of T cell repertoire together with cfDNA monitoring will merge into a clinically useful “molecular image” of each patient’s disease status and real-time host immune response.

Detection of HRD gene mutations and copy number changes in cfDNA from prostate cancer patients.

Recent genomic surveys of prostate cancer have identified somatic mutations in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In this study, we examined mCRPC patients for AR aberrations and mutations in the HRD (homologous recombination DNA-repair) pathway which may confer platinum or PARP inhibitor sensitivity. Methods: A novel targeted-hybrid-capture NGS assay capable of identifying deleterious mutations, copy number amplification and gene copy loss, was applied to circulating, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from plasma samples from 20 mCRPC patients. Samples were collected between 3/2010 – 10/2015 and stored at -20C. The gene panel used in the assay included AR and several genes in the HRD pathway — ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK2, FANCA, HDAC2, NBN, PALB2, and RAD51. Sequencing libraries created with the cfDNA extracted from 2.8-4 mLs of plasma had an average unique read coverage depth of 2282 genome equivalents (range 445 – 5136, median 2181). Results: Somatic variations were observed in 17 of the 20 samples analyzed. Copy number variation (CNV) was observed in 11 samples. AR amplification, linked to resistance to abiraterone and enzalutamide, was observed in 30% (6) of samples. Canonical AR ligand binding domain mutations, such as T787A and L702H were also detected. ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, HDAC2, and FANCA gene deletions were also detected, as well as frameshift, nonsense, and other deleterious mutations in HRD genes. Significant CNV in multiple genes was observed in at least 5 patient samples. Mutations were detected across the entire collection date range, speaking to the robustness of cfDNA. Conclusions: Non-invasive tumor mCRPC genotyping appears to be feasible. The ability to detect HRD gene alterations suggests cfDNA testing may be suitable for the detection of HRD pathway defects and overall genome instability.

Vanderbilt and Resolution Bioscience to present at AACR 2017 on longitudinal monitoring of cell-free DNA in patients with small cell lung cancer

SEATTLE, April 4, 2017 --Resolution Bioscience, Inc. is proud to announce the presentation by collaborators at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Northwestern University School of Medicine at today's AACR conference in Washington D.C.

Results: We detected somatic, disease-associated mutations in the cfDNA of 78% of patient samples (21/27). The allele frequency of cfDNA ranged from ≤0.5% to ≥85%. The most commonly mutated genes were TP53 and RB1, which were found in 17/27 and 10/27 samples, respectively. We also detected single nucleotide variants in PIK3CA (3/27) and PTEN (1/27) as well as copy number variants in MYC and MYCL1 (2/27). The observed mutant allele frequencies in longitudinal samples tracked closely with treatment responses. Strikingly, we found instances where the assay detected the reappearance of tumor-associated markers several weeks before clinical evidence of relapse was detected.

Conclusions: cfDNA sequencing allows for improved monitoring of disease burden, depth of responses to treatment, and timely warning of disease relapse in patients with SCLC.
