Abstract
Microbial communities are resident to multiple niches of the human body and are important modulators of the host immune system and responses to anticancer therapies. Recent studies have shown that complex microbial communities are present within primary tumors. To investigate the presence and relevance of the microbiome in metastases, we integrated mapping and assembly-based metagenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and clinical data of 4,160 metastatic tumor biopsies. We identified organ-specific tropisms of microbes, enrichments of anaerobic bacteria in hypoxic tumors, associations between microbial diversity and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils, and the association of Fusobacterium with resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in lung cancer. Furthermore, longitudinal tumor sampling revealed temporal evolution of the microbial communities and identified bacteria depleted upon ICB. Together, we generated a pan-cancer resource of the metastatic tumor microbiome that may contribute to advancing treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is new interest in platinum-based treatment of patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), to which a subgroup responds. Although platinum sensitivity is suggested to be associated with aggressive disease features and distinct molecular profiles, identification of responders is a clinical challenge. In this study, we selected patients who displayed PSA progression during cabazitaxel monotherapy, for combined cabazitaxel and carboplatin treatment. METHODS In this retrospective study, mCRPC patients received carboplatin and cabazitaxel after biochemical progression following at least 2 cabazitaxel monotherapy cycles. We assessed PSA response, Time to PSA Progression (TTpsa) and Time to Radiographic Progression (TTrad). For a subset of patients, mutational analysis of BRCA-1, BRCA-2, ATM, PTEN, P53 and RB1 was performed. RESULTS Forty-five patients were included, after a median of 4 (3-6) cycles of cabazitaxel monotherapy. Patients received a median of 3 (2-5) cycles of combined cabazitaxel and carboplatin, on which 12 (26.6%) patients had a PSA decline ≥ 50% from baseline. TTpsa was 2 (1-5) months and TTrad 3 (2-6) months. Adverse events were predominantly grade 1-2. Of the 29 (64.4%) patients evaluable for molecular signature, 6 (13.3%) had BRCA1, BRCA2 or ATM mutations and 12 (26.7%) had a PTEN, P53 or RB1 mutations. The occurrence of these mutations was not associated with any clinical outcome measure. CONCLUSIONS In this study we showed that patients with PSA progression during cabazitaxel monotherapy could benefit from the addition of carboplatin to cabazitaxel, while prospective identification of these patients remains a clinical challenge.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) can achieve remarkable responses in urothelial cancer (UC), which may depend on tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics. However, the relationship between the TME, usually characterized by immune cell density, and response to ICI is unclear. Here, we quantify the TME immune cell densities and spatial relationships (SRs) of 24 baseline UC samples, obtained before pre-operative combination ICI treatment, using multiplex immunofluorescence. We describe SRs by approximating the first nearest-neighbor distance distribution with a Weibull distribution and evaluate the association between TME metrics and ipilimumab+nivolumab response. Immune cell density does not discriminate between response groups. However, the Weibull SR metrics of CD8+ T cells or macrophages to their closest cancer cell positively associate with response. CD8+ T cells close to B cells are characteristic of non-response. We validate our SR response associations in a combination ICI cohort of head and neck tumors. Our data confirm that SRs, in contrast to density metrics, are strong biomarkers of response to pre-operative combination ICIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the absence of prognostic biomarkers, most patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (eTNBC) are treated with combination chemotherapy. The identification of biomarkers to select patients for whom treatment de-escalation or escalation could be considered remains an unmet need. We evaluated the prognostic value of histopathologic traits in a unique cohort of young, (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy-naïve patients with early-stage (stage I or II), node-negative TNBC and long-term follow-up, in relation to stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) for which the prognostic value was recently reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied all 485 patients with node-negative eTNBC from the population-based PARADIGM cohort which selected women aged <40 years diagnosed between 1989 and 2000. None of the patients had received (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy according to standard practice at the time. Associations between histopathologic traits and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were analyzed with Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 20.0 years, an independent prognostic value for BCSS was observed for lymphovascular invasion (LVI) [adjusted (adj.) hazard ratio (HR) 2.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.49-3.69], fibrotic focus (adj. HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.09-2.37) and sTILs (per 10% increment adj. HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.69-0.82). In the sTILs <30% subgroup, the presence of LVI resulted in a higher cumulative incidence of breast cancer death (at 20 years, 58%; 95% CI 41% to 72%) compared with when LVI was absent (at 20 years, 32%; 95% CI 26% to 39%). In the ≥75% sTILs subgroup, the presence of LVI might be associated with poor survival (HR 11.45, 95% CI 0.71-182.36, two deaths). We confirm the lack of prognostic value of androgen receptor expression and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 -low status. CONCLUSIONS sTILs, LVI and fibrotic focus provide independent prognostic information in young women with node-negative eTNBC. Our results are of importance for the selection of patients for de-escalation and escalation trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has improved patients' outcomes in advanced melanoma, often resulting in durable response. However, not all patients have durable responses and the patients with dissociated response are a valuable subgroup to identify mechanisms of ICI resistance. METHODS Stage IV melanoma patients treated with ICI and dissociated response were retrospectively screened for available samples containing sufficient tumor at least at two time-points. Included were one patient with metachronous regressive and progressive lesions at the same site, two patients with regressive and novel lesion at different sites, and three patients with regressive and progressive lesions at different sites. In addition, four patients with acquired resistant tumor samples without a matched second sample were included. RESULTS In the majority of patients, the progressive tumor lesion contained higher CD8+ T cell counts/mm2 and interferon-gamma (IFNγ) signature level, but similar tumor PD-L1 expression. The tumor mutational burden levels were in 2 out 3 lesions higher compared to the corresponding regressive tumors lesion. In the acquired tumor lesions, high CD8+/mm2 and relatively high IFNγ signature levels were observed. In one patient in both the B2M and PTEN gene a stop gaining mutation and in another patient a pathogenic POLE mutation were found. CONCLUSION Intrapatient comparison of progressive versus regressive lesions indicates no defect in tumor T cell infiltration, and in general no tumor immune exclusion were observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the abundant usage of chemotherapy in young triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, the unbiased prognostic value of BRCA1-related biomarkers in this population remains unclear. In addition, whether BRCA1-related biomarkers modify the well-established prognostic value of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) is unknown. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of young, node-negative, chemotherapy-naïve TNBC patients according to BRCA1 status, taking sTILs into account. METHODS We included 485 Dutch women diagnosed with node-negative TNBC under age 40 between 1989 and 2000. During this period, these women were considered low-risk and did not receive chemotherapy. BRCA1 status, including pathogenic germline BRCA1 mutation (gBRCA1m), somatic BRCA1 mutation (sBRCA1m), and tumor BRCA1 promoter methylation (BRCA1-PM), was assessed using DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue. sTILs were assessed according to the international guideline. Patients' outcomes were compared using Cox regression and competing risk models. RESULTS Among the 399 patients with BRCA1 status, 26.3% had a gBRCA1m, 5.3% had a sBRCA1m, 36.6% had tumor BRCA1-PM, and 31.8% had BRCA1-non-altered tumors. Compared to BRCA1-non-alteration, gBRCA1m was associated with worse overall survival (OS) from the fourth year after diagnosis (adjusted HR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.18-3.75), and this association attenuated after adjustment for second primary tumors. Every 10% sTIL increment was associated with 16% higher OS (adjusted HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.78-0.90) in gBRCA1m, sBRCA1m, or BRCA1-non-altered patients and 31% higher OS in tumor BRCA1-PM patients. Among the 66 patients with tumor BRCA1-PM and ≥ 50% sTILs, we observed excellent 15-year OS (97.0%; 95% CI, 92.9-100%). Conversely, among the 61 patients with gBRCA1m and < 50% sTILs, we observed poor 15-year OS (50.8%; 95% CI, 39.7-65.0%). Furthermore, gBRCA1m was associated with higher (adjusted subdistribution HR, 4.04; 95% CI, 2.29-7.13) and tumor BRCA1-PM with lower (adjusted subdistribution HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.19-0.95) incidence of second primary tumors, compared to BRCA1-non-alteration. CONCLUSIONS Although both gBRCA1m and tumor BRCA1-PM alter BRCA1 gene transcription, they are associated with different outcomes in young, node-negative, chemotherapy-naïve TNBC patients. By combining sTILs and BRCA1 status for risk classification, we were able to identify potential subgroups in this population to intensify and optimize adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE No biomarker capable of improving selection and monitoring of patients with rectal cancer managed by watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy is currently available. Prognostic performance of the Immunoscore biopsy (ISB) was recently suggested in a preliminary study. METHODS This international validation study included 249 patients with clinical complete response (cCR) managed by W&W strategy. Intratumoral CD3+ and CD8+ T cells were quantified on pretreatment rectal biopsies by digital pathology and converted to ISB. The primary end point was time to recurrence (TTR; the time from the end of neoadjuvant treatment to the date of local regrowth or distant metastasis). Associations between ISB and outcomes were analyzed by stratified Cox regression adjusted for confounders. Immune status of tumor-draining lymph nodes (n = 161) of 17 additional patients treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery was investigated by 3'RNA-Seq and immunofluorescence. RESULTS Recurrence-free rates at 5 years were 91.3% (82.4%-100.0%), 62.5% (53.2%-73.3%), and 53.1% (42.4%-66.5%) with ISB High, ISB Intermediate, and ISB Low, respectively (hazard ratio [HR; Low v High], 6.51; 95% CI, 1.99 to 21.28; log-rank P = .0004). ISB was also significantly associated with disease-free survival (log-rank P = .0002), and predicted both local regrowth and distant metastasis. In multivariate analysis, ISB was independent of patient age, sex, tumor location, cT stage (T, primary tumor; c, clinical), cN stage (N, regional lymph node; c, clinical), and was the strongest predictor for TTR (HR [ISB High v Low], 6.93; 95% CI, 2.08 to 23.15; P = .0017). The addition of ISB to a clinical-based model significantly improved the prediction of recurrence. Finally, B-cell proliferation and memory in draining lymph nodes was evidenced in the draining lymph nodes of patients with cCR. CONCLUSION The ISB is validated as a biomarker to predict both local regrowth and distant metastasis, with a gradual scaling of the risk of pejorative outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The validity of the PREDICT breast cancer prognostic model is unclear for young patients without adjuvant systemic treatment. This study aimed to validate PREDICT and assess its clinical utility in young women with node-negative breast cancer who did not receive systemic treatment. METHODS We selected all women from the Netherlands Cancer Registry who were diagnosed with node-negative breast cancer under age 40 between 1989 and 2000, a period when adjuvant systemic treatment was not standard practice for women with node-negative disease. We evaluated the calibration and discrimination of PREDICT using the observed/expected (O/E) mortality ratio, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), respectively. Additionally, we compared the potential clinical utility of PREDICT for selectively administering chemotherapy to the chemotherapy-to-all strategy using decision curve analysis at predefined thresholds. RESULTS A total of 2264 women with a median age at diagnosis of 36 years were included. Of them, 71.2% had estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors and 44.0% had grade 3 tumors. Median tumor size was 16 mm. PREDICT v2.2 underestimated 10-year all-cause mortality by 33% in all women (O/E ratio:1.33, 95%CI:1.22-1.43). Model discrimination was moderate overall (AUC10-year:0.65, 95%CI:0.62-0.68), and poor for women with ER-negative tumors (AUC10-year:0.56, 95%CI:0.51-0.62). Compared to the chemotherapy-to-all strategy, PREDICT only showed a slightly higher net benefit in women with ER-positive tumors, but not in women with ER-negative tumors. CONCLUSIONS PREDICT yields unreliable predictions for young women with node-negative breast cancer. Further model updates are needed before PREDICT can be routinely used in this patient subset.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) outperforms adjuvant ICB for treatment of stage IIIB-D melanoma, but potential biomarkers of response, such as interferon-gamma (IFNγ) signature and tumor mutational burden (TMB), are insufficient. Preclinical studies suggest that emotional distress (ED) can negatively affect antitumor immune responses via β-adrenergic or glucocorticoid signaling. We performed a post hoc analysis evaluating the association between pretreatment ED and clinical responses after neoadjuvant ICB treatment in patients with stage IIIB-D melanoma in the phase 2 PRADO trial ( NCT02977052 ). The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer scale for emotional functioning was used to identify patients with ED (n = 28) versus those without (n = 60). Pretreatment ED was significantly associated with reduced major pathologic responses (46% versus 65%, adjusted odds ratio 0.20, P = 0.038) after adjusting for IFNγ signature and TMB, reduced 2-year relapse-free survival (74% versus 91%, adjusted hazard ratio 3.81, P = 0.034) and reduced 2-year distant metastasis-free survival (78% versus 95%, adjusted hazard ratio 4.33, P = 0.040) after adjusting for IFNγ signature. RNA sequencing analyses of baseline patient samples could not identify clear β-adrenergic- or glucocorticoid-driven mechanisms associated with these reduced outcomes. Pretreatment ED may be a marker associated with clinical responses after neoadjuvant ICB in melanoma and warrants further investigation. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT02977052 .

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma have a poor prognosis (21% 2-year overall survival [OS] from diagnosis). We assessed the activity of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) in patients with advanced penile cancer, with or without radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS A single-center, nonrandomized phase II study with two treatment arms was conducted in 32 patients with histologically confirmed advanced penile cancer. All patients received atezolizumab (1,200 mg) once every 3 weeks. Twenty patients, who were expected to benefit from RT for locoregional disease control, received additional irradiation. The primary end point was 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) for the complete cohort and was reached if the actual 1-year PFS was at least 35%. Secondary end points included OS, objective response rate (ORR), and tolerability. Exploratory biomarker analyses were conducted in pretreatment specimens. RESULTS Median follow-up was 29.1 months (IQR, 18.1-33.5). Grade 3-4 adverse events related to atezolizumab or RT were observed in 3/32 (9.4%) and 13/20 (65%) patients, respectively. One-year PFS was 12.5% (95% CI, 5.0 to 31.3), which did not meet the study's primary end point. Median OS was 11.3 months (95% CI, 5.5 to 18.7). In the objective response-evaluable population (n = 30; 93.8%), the ORR was 16.7% (95% CI, 6 to 35), including 2 (6.7%) complete responders and 3 (10%) partial responders. Improved PFS was observed in patients with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV)-positive tumors (P = .003) and those with high infiltration of intratumoral CD3+CD8+ T cells (P = .037). CONCLUSION Although the primary end point of 1-year PFS was not met, durable antitumor activity to atezolizumab was observed in a subset of patients. Biomarkers, such as hrHPV and intratumoral CD3+CD8+ T-cell infiltration, may help to better select responders.

Abstract
The dysregulated expression of immune checkpoint molecules enables cancer cells to evade immune destruction. While blockade of inhibitory immune checkpoints like PD-L1 forms the basis of current cancer immunotherapies, a deficiency in costimulatory signals can render these therapies futile. CD58, a costimulatory ligand, plays a crucial role in antitumor immune responses, but the mechanisms controlling its expression remain unclear. Using two systematic approaches, we reveal that CMTM6 positively regulates CD58 expression. Notably, CMTM6 interacts with both CD58 and PD-L1, maintaining the expression of these two immune checkpoint ligands with opposing functions. Functionally, the presence of CMTM6 and CD58 on tumor cells significantly affects T cell-tumor interactions and response to PD-L1-PD-1 blockade. Collectively, these findings provide fundamental insights into CD58 regulation, uncover a shared regulator of stimulatory and inhibitory immune checkpoints, and highlight the importance of tumor-intrinsic CMTM6 and CD58 expression in antitumor immune responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with postpartum breast cancer diagnosed after cessation of breastfeeding (postweaning, PP-BCPW) have a particularly poor prognosis compared with patients diagnosed during lactation (PP-BCDL), or to pregnant (Pr-BC) and nulliparous (NP-BC) patients, regardless of standard prognostic characteristics. Animal studies point to a role of the involution process in stimulation of tumor growth in the mammary gland. However, in women, the molecular mechanisms that underlie this poor prognosis of patients with PP-BCPW remain vastly underexplored, due to of lack of adequate patient numbers and outcome data. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We explored whether distinct prognostic features, common to all breast cancer molecular subtypes, exist in postpartum tumor tissue. Using detailed breastfeeding data, we delineated the postweaning period in PP-BC as a surrogate for mammary gland involution and performed whole transcriptome sequencing, immunohistochemical, and (multiplex) immunofluorescent analyses on tumor tissue of patients with PP-BCPW, PP-BCDL, Pr-BC, and NP-BC. RESULTS We found that patients with PP-BCPW having a low expression level of an immunoglobulin gene signature, but high infiltration of plasma B cells, have an increased risk for metastasis and death. Although PP-BCPW tumor tissue was also characterized by an increase in CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and reduced distance among these cell types, these parameters were not associated with differential clinical outcomes among groups. CONCLUSIONS These data point to the importance of plasma B cells in the postweaning mammary tumor microenvironment regarding the poor prognosis of PP-BCPW patients. Future prospective and in-depth research needs to further explore the role of B-cell immunobiology in this specific group of young patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) has a more favorable outcome than widespread metastatic breast cancer. Some patients with OMBC achieve long-term remission if treated with multimodality therapy, including systemic and locally ablative therapies. However, not all patients with OMBC benefit from such treatment, while all experience toxicity. To explore biomarkers identifying patients with OMBC and potential long-term survival, we compared tumor-immune characteristics of patients with OMBC and long-term versus shorter-term survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected tumor tissue of 97 patients with de novo OMBC (≤5 metastases) via the Dutch nationwide cancer and pathology registries using a case-control design. Long-term survivors (LTS) were defined as patients alive ≥10 years since OMBC diagnosis. Fifty-five LTS and 42 shorter-term survivors (STS) were included. Median follow-up was 15 years (IQR, 14-16). Tumor characteristics and infiltrating immune cells were assessed by immunohistochemistry and next-generation RNA-sequencing. Association of the resulting 52 biomarkers with long-term survival was assessed using logistic regression. Associations with survival within LTS were assessed using Cox-proportional hazards modeling. P values were adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing. RESULTS Most patients had estrogen receptor (ER)-positive OMBC (n = 86; 89%) and 23 (24%) had human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive disease. ER positivity in primary tumors distinguished LTS from STS. In addition, extracellular matrix (ECM)2-low and ECM4-high distinguished between long-term and shorter-term survival. Immune levels in the primary tumor did not associate with LTS. However, within the LTS subset, higher immune levels associated with improved progression-free survival. CONCLUSION We identified tumor and ECM features in the primary tumor of patients with de novo OMBC that were associated with long-term survival. Our data should be validated in other patients with OMBC before they can be used in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) patients with a germline CHEK2 c.1100delC variant have an increased risk of contralateral BC (CBC) and worse BC-specific survival (BCSS) compared to non-carriers. AIM To assessed the associations of CHEK2 c.1100delC, radiotherapy, and systemic treatment with CBC risk and BCSS. METHODS Analyses were based on 82,701 women diagnosed with a first primary invasive BC including 963 CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers; median follow-up was 9.1 years. Differential associations with treatment by CHEK2 c.1100delC status were tested by including interaction terms in a multivariable Cox regression model. A multi-state model was used for further insight into the relation between CHEK2 c.1100delC status, treatment, CBC risk and death. RESULTS There was no evidence for differential associations of therapy with CBC risk by CHEK2 c.1100delC status. The strongest association with reduced CBC risk was observed for the combination of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy [HR (95% CI): 0.66 (0.55-0.78)]. No association was observed with radiotherapy. Results from the multi-state model showed shorter BCSS for CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers versus non-carriers also after accounting for CBC occurrence [HR (95% CI): 1.30 (1.09-1.56)]. CONCLUSION Systemic therapy was associated with reduced CBC risk irrespective of CHEK2 c.1100delC status. Moreover, CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers had shorter BCSS, which appears not to be fully explained by their CBC risk.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer (BC) and worse prognosis in BC patients, yet its impact on BC biology remains understudied in humans. This study investigates how the biology of untreated primary BC differs according to patients' body mass index (BMI) using data from >2,000 patients. We identify several genomic alterations that are differentially prevalent in overweight or obese patients compared to lean patients. We report evidence supporting an ageing accelerating effect of obesity at the genetic level. We show that BMI-associated differences in bulk transcriptomic profile are subtle, while single cell profiling allows detection of more pronounced changes in different cell compartments. These analyses further reveal an elevated and unresolved inflammation of the BC tumor microenvironment associated with obesity, with distinct characteristics contingent on the estrogen receptor status. Collectively, our analyses imply that obesity is associated with an inflammaging-like phenotype. We conclude that patient adiposity may play a significant role in the heterogeneity of BC and should be considered for BC treatment tailoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous combination of MAPK pathway inhibition (MAPKi) and anti-programmed death-(ligand) 1 (PD-(L)1) showed high response rates, but only limited improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) at the cost of a high frequency of treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) in patients with BRAFV600-mutated melanoma. Short-term MAPKi induces T-cell infiltration in patients and is synergistic with anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) in a preclinical melanoma mouse model. The aim of this phase 2b trial was to identify an optimal regimen of short-term MAPKi with dabrafenib plus trametinib in combination with pembrolizumab. METHODS Patients with treatment-naïve BRAFV600E/K-mutant advanced melanoma started pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks. In week 6, patients were randomized to continue pembrolizumab only (cohort 1), or to receive, in addition, intermittent dabrafenib 150 mg two times per day plus trametinib 2 mg one time per day for two cycles of 1 week (cohort 2), two cycles of 2 weeks (cohort 3), or continuously for 6 weeks (cohort 4). All cohorts continued pembrolizumab for up to 2 years. Primary endpoints were safety and treatment-adherence. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) at week 6, 12, 18 and PFS. RESULTS Between June 2016 and August 2018, 33 patients with advanced melanoma have been included and 32 were randomized. Grade 3-4 TRAE were observed in 12%, 12%, 50%, and 63% of patients in cohort 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. All planned targeted therapy was given in 88%, 63%, and 38% of patients in cohort 2, 3, and 4. ORR at week 6, 12, and 18 were 38%, 63%, and 63% in cohort 1; 25%, 63%, and 75% in cohort 2; 25%, 50%, and 75% in cohort 3; and 0%, 63%, and 50% in cohort 4. After a median follow-up of 43.5 months, median PFS was 10.6 months for pembrolizumab monotherapy and not reached for patients treated with pembrolizumab and intermittent dabrafenib and trametinib (p=0.17). The 2-year and 3-year landmark PFS were both 25% for cohort 1, both 63% for cohort 2, 50% and 38% for cohort 3 and 75% and 60% for cohort 4. CONCLUSIONS The combination of pembrolizumab plus intermittent dabrafenib and trametinib seems more feasible and tolerable than continuous triple therapy. The efficacy is promising and appears to be favorable over pembrolizumab monotherapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02625337.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CHEK2 c.1100delC was the first moderate-risk breast cancer (BC) susceptibility allele discovered. Despite several genomic, transcriptomic and functional studies, however, it is still unclear how exactly CHEK2 c.1100delC promotes tumorigenesis. Since the mutational landscape of a tumor reflects the processes that have operated on its development, the aim of this study was to uncover the somatic genomic landscape of CHEK2-associated BC. METHODS We sequenced primary BC (pBC) and normal genomes of 20 CHEK2 c.1100delC mutation carriers as well as their pBC transcriptomes. Including pre-existing cohorts, we exhaustively compared CHEK2 pBC genomes to those from BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, those that displayed homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and ER- and ER+ pBCs, totaling to 574 pBC genomes. Findings were validated in 517 metastatic BC genomes subdivided into the same subgroups. Transcriptome data from 168 ER+ pBCs were used to derive a TP53-mutant gene expression signature and perform cluster analysis with CHEK2 BC transcriptomes. Finally, clinical outcome of CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers was compared with BC patients displaying somatic TP53 mutations in two well-described retrospective cohorts totaling to 942 independent pBC cases. RESULTS BC genomes from CHEK2 mutation carriers were most similar to ER+ BC genomes and least similar to those of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers in terms of tumor mutational burden as well as mutational signatures. Moreover, CHEK2 BC genomes did not show any evidence of HRD. Somatic TP53 mutation frequency and the size distribution of structural variants (SVs), however, were different compared to ER+ BC. Interestingly, BC genomes with bi-allelic CHEK2 inactivation lacked somatic TP53 mutations and transcriptomic analysis indicated a shared biology with TP53 mutant BC. Moreover, CHEK2 BC genomes had an increased frequency of > 1 Mb deletions, inversions and tandem duplications with peaks at specific sizes. The high chromothripsis frequency among CHEK2 BC genomes appeared, however, not associated with this unique SV size distribution profile. CONCLUSIONS CHEK2 BC genomes are most similar to ER+ BC genomes, but display unique features that may further unravel CHEK2-driven tumorigenesis. Increased insight into this mechanism could explain the shorter survival of CHEK2 mutation carriers that is likely driven by intrinsic tumor aggressiveness rather than endocrine resistance.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant ipilimumab + nivolumab has demonstrated high pathologic response rates in stage III melanoma. Patients with low intra-tumoral interferon-γ (IFN-γ) signatures are less likely to benefit. We show that domatinostat (a class I histone deacetylase inhibitor) addition to anti-PD-1 + anti-CTLA-4 increased the IFN-γ response and reduced tumor growth in our murine melanoma model, rationalizing evaluation in patients. To stratify patients into IFN-γ high and low cohorts, we developed a baseline IFN-γ signature expression algorithm, which was prospectively tested in the DONIMI trial. Patients with stage III melanoma and high intra-tumoral IFN-γ scores were randomized to neoadjuvant nivolumab or nivolumab + domatinostat, while patients with low IFN-γ scores received nivolumab + domatinostat or ipilimumab + nivolumab + domatinostat. Domatinostat addition to neoadjuvant nivolumab ± ipilimumab did not delay surgery but induced unexpected severe skin toxicity, hampering domatinostat dose escalation. At studied dose levels, domatinostat addition did not increase treatment efficacy. The baseline IFN-γ score adequately differentiated patients who were likely to benefit from nivolumab alone versus patients who require other therapies.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is standard of care in stage III colon cancer. However, 50% of the patients would be cured by surgery alone and are being overtreated, while 30-35% will experience a recurrence despite adjuvant treatment, resulting in only 15-20% of the patients benefitting from ACT. Therefore, there is a need for prognostic biomarkers to better stratify this group of patients for ACT decisions. Recent observational and interventional studies in non-metastatic colon cancer have shown that detection of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood after surgery is highly prognostic for development of recurrence. Hence, ctDNA analysis is a promising approach to guide treatment decisions in stage III colon cancer, but studies with large well-defined patient cohorts are needed to prove clinical utility.
Aim: Determine the prognostic value of ctDNA in stage III colon cancer patients treated with ACT to reduce futile treatment.
Methods: 241 stage III colon cancer patients treated with ACT were included in the prospective observational study “PROVENC3” (PROgnostic Value of Early Notification by Ctdna in Colon Cancer stage 3), a substudy of the Prospective Dutch Colorectal Cancer cohort (PLCRC). The PLCRC infrastructure accrued patients with colorectal cancer in 23 participating hospitals in the Netherlands. After informed consent, blood was collected pre-surgery, post-surgery, post-ACT and every six months up to 3 years. Tumor-informed detection of ctDNA was performed through integrated whole genome sequencing (WGS) analyses of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue DNA (80x), germline DNA (40x), and plasma cell-free DNA (30x).
Results: Patient accrual was completed in 2021, with a median follow-up of 35.6 months. In total, 1090 blood samples have been collected to date. Analytical studies demonstrated a limit of detection of the test of 0.005% ctDNA utilizing contrived reference models derived from six independent cell lines, with a specificity of 99.6% across 119 noncancerous donor plasma specimens. From the PROVENC3 study, ctDNA analyses are ongoing for pre-surgery (n=68) and post-surgery (n=241 patients) blood samples. Preliminary results demonstrated a ctDNA detection rate of 93.4% pre-surgery and 17.1% post-surgery, which was associated with disease recurrence. Final analysis will enable determination of: 1) the proportion of ctDNA-positive/negative patients after surgery and the corresponding recurrence rates; 2) the prognostic value of post-surgery ctDNA; and 3) the lead time between post-surgery ctDNA detection and recurrence.
Future Perspective: Ultimately, the results of this study will be used to model and design a ctDNA-guided interventional trial in stage III colon cancer patients, to reduce futile ACT and its associated side-effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) can achieve remarkable clinical responses in urothelial cancer (UC). However, it remains unclear which aspects of the tumor microenvironment (TME) determine a patient’s response. The TME is usually characterized by immune cell density, which ignores cells’ spatial relationships relative to each other.
Methods: Using multiplex immunofluorescence data (PanCK, CD20, CD68, CD3, CD8, and FoxP3 antibody panel) of 24 pre-ICI UC transurethral resections retrieved from the NABUCCO trial (NCT03387761), we spatially profiled cancer cells, macrophages, B-cells, and distinct T-cell populations. We first quantified the TME immune cell densities at the tumor and stroma tissue compartments. We then quantified the TME spatial relationships with a novel approach based on fitting a Weibull function to the first nearest neighbor (1-NN) distance distribution, allowing us to uniquely summarize spatial relationships with two parameters (Weibull approach). We compared this approach to conventional techniques (G-functions) that rely upon a predefined distance threshold. We performed a simulation study to identify sources of variation in the spatial relationship parameters. Lastly, we associated the TME parameters with ICI (ipilimumab + nivolumab) response.
Results: Unlike the Weibull approach, the G-function quantifications manifested a variable effect size and statistical power in association studies because of its distance threshold dependence. We found that variation in density affected the spatial relationship metrics of rare cell types (i.e., B-cells) but not of abundant cell types (i.e., cancer cells). The spatial relationship metrics from the Weibull approach outperformed immune cell density in ICI response prediction. Specifically, immune cell density did not discriminate between ICI response groups (FDR>10%). In contrast, the spatial relationship between either CD8+ T-cells or macrophages to their closest cancer cell did associate with response to ICI (FDR=1%). Furthermore, non-responding tumors were characterized by CD8+ T-cells close to B-cells (FDR=9%). Importantly, we validated the association between proximity and response from CD8+ T-cells to cancer cells (FDR=1%) and from macrophages to cancer cells (FDR=1%) using data from 25 pre-ICI head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tumors from the IMCISION trial (NCT03003637, arm B, ipilimumab + nivolumab).
Conclusion: We created a framework to quantify, study, interpret and analyze spatial relationships in the TME and illustrated its superior clinical relevance compared to density metrics for predicting ICI treatment response. Our findings emphasize the importance of spatial relationships in the TME for response and suggest that proximity between either macrophages or CD8+ T-cells to cancer cells are candidate biomarkers for ICI response.

Abstract
Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy is recommended for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). It has been shown that somatic deleterious mutations in ERCC2, gain-of-function mutations in ERBB2, and alterations in ATM, RB1, and FANCC are correlated with pathological response to NAC in MIBC. The objective of this study was to validate these genomic biomarkers in pretreatment transurethral resection material from an independent retrospective cohort of 165 patients with MIBC who subsequently underwent NAC and radical surgery. Patients with ypT0/Tis/Ta/T1N0 disease after surgery were defined as responders. Somatic deleterious mutations in ERCC2 were found in nine of 68 (13%) evaluable responders and two of 95 (2%) evaluable nonresponders (p = 0.009; FDR = 0.03). No correlation was observed between response and alterations in ERBB2 or in ATM, RB1, or FANCC alone or in combination. In an exploratory analysis, no additional genomic alterations discriminated between responders and nonresponders to NAC. No further associations were identified between the aforementioned biomarkers and pathological complete response (ypT0N0) after surgery. In conclusion, we observed a positive association between deleterious mutations in ERCC2 and pathological response to NAC, but not overall survival or recurrence-free survival. Other previously reported genomic biomarkers were not validated. PATIENT SUMMARY: It is currently unknown which patients will respond to chemotherapy before definitive surgery for bladder cancer. Previous studies described several gene mutations in bladder cancer that correlated with chemotherapy response. This study confirmed that patients with bladder cancer with a mutation in the ERCC2 gene often respond to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) patients with a germline CHEK2 c.1100delC variant have an increased risk of contralateral BC (CBC) and worse BC-specific survival (BCSS) compared to non-carriers. We aimed to assess the associations of CHEK2 c.1100delC, radiotherapy, and systemic treatment with CBC risk and BCSS. Analyses were based on 82,701 women diagnosed with invasive BC including 963 CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers; median follow-up was 9.1 years. Differential associations of treatment by CHEK2 c.1100delC status were tested by including interaction terms in a multivariable Cox regression model. A multi-state model was used for further insight into the relation between CHEK2 c.1100delC status, treatment, CBC risk and death. There was no evidence for differential associations of therapy with CBC risk by CHEK2 c.1100delC status The strongest association with reduced CBC risk was observed for the combination of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy [HR(95%CI): 0.66 (0.55-0.78)]. No association was observed with radiotherapy. Results from the multi-state model showed shorter BCSS for CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers versus non-carriers also after accounting for CBC occurrence [HR(95%CI) :1.30 (1.09-1.56)]. In conclusion, systemic therapy was associated with reduced CBC risk irrespective of CHEK2 c.1100delC status. Moreover, CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers had shorter BCSS, which appears not to be fully explained by their CBC risk. (Main MS: 3201 words).

Abstract
BACKGROUND How molecular profiles are associated with tumor microenvironment (TME) in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is incompletely understood. Therefore, we analyzed the TME and molecular profiles of HGSOC and assessed their associations with overall survival (OS). METHODS Patients with advanced-stage HGSOC treated in three Dutch hospitals between 2008-2015 were included. Patient data were collected from medical records. BRCA1/2 mutation, BRCA1 promotor methylation analyses, and copy number variations were used to define molecular profiles. Immune cells were assessed with immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS 348 patients were categorized as BRCA mutation (BRCAm) (BRCAm or promotor methylation) (30%), non-BRCA mutated HRD (19%), Cyclin E1 (CCNE1)-amplification (13%), non-BRCAmut HRD and CCNE1-amplification (double classifier) (20%), and no specific molecular profile (NSMP) (18%). BRCAm showed highest immune cell densities and CCNE1-amplification lowest. BRCAm showed the most favorable OS (52.5 months), compared to non-BRCAmut HRD (41.0 months), CCNE1-amplification (28.0 months), double classifier (27.8 months), and NSMP (35.4 months). Higher immune cell densities showed a favorable OS compared to lower, also within the profiles. CD8+, CD20+, and CD103+ cells remained associated with OS in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS Molecular profiles and TME are associated with OS. TME differs per profile, with higher immune cell densities showing a favorable OS, even within the profiles. HGSOC does not reflect one entity but comprises different entities based on molecular profiles and TME.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ovarian cancer has the worst overall survival rate of all gynecologic malignancies. For the majority of patients, the 5-year overall survival rate of less than 50% has hardly improved over the last decades. To improve the outcome of patients with all subtypes of ovarian cancer, large-scale fundamental and translational research is needed. To accommodate these types of ovarian cancer research, we have established a Dutch nationwide, interdisciplinary infrastructure and biobank: the Archipelago of Ovarian Cancer Research (AOCR). The AOCR will facilitate fundamental and translational ovarian cancer research and enhance interdisciplinary, national, and international collaboration. DESIGN The AOCR biobank is a prospective ovarian cancer biobank in which biomaterials are collected, processed, and stored in a uniform matter for future (genetic) scientific research. All 19 Dutch hospitals in which ovarian cancer surgery is performed participate and collaborate in the AOCR biobank. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Patients of 16 years and older with suspected or diagnosed ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer are recruited for participation. Patients who agree to participate give written informed consent for collection, storage, and issue of their biomaterials for future studies. After inclusion, different blood samples are taken at various predefined time points both before and during treatment. In case of a diagnostic paracentesis or biopsy, the residual biomaterials of these procedures are stored in the biobank. During surgery, primary tumor tissue and, if applicable, tissue from metastatic sites are collected and stored. From each patient, a representative histological hematoxylin and eosin stained slide is digitalized for research purposes, including reassessment by a panel of gynecologic pathologists. Clinical and pathological data are obtained on a per-study basis from Dutch registries. Research proposals for the issue of biomaterials and data are evaluated by both the Archipelago Scientific Committee and the Steering Committee. Researchers using the biomaterials from the AOCR biobank are encouraged to enrich the biobank with data and materials resulting from their analyses and experiments. LIMITATIONS The implementation and first 4 years of collection are financed by an infrastructural grant from the Dutch Cancer Society. Therefore, the main limitation is that the costs for sustaining the biobank after the funding period will have to be covered. This coverage will come from incorporation of budget for biobanking in future grant applications and from fees from external researchers and commercial parties using the biomaterials stored in the AOCR biobank. Moreover, we will apply for grants aimed at sustaining and improving research infrastructures and biobanks. CONCLUSIONS With the establishment of the Dutch nationwide, interdisciplinary Archipelago of Ovarian Cancer Research infrastructure and biobank, fundamental and translational research on ovarian cancer can be greatly improved. The ultimate aim of this infrastructure is that it will lead to improved diagnostics, treatment, and survival of patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Durable clinical benefit to PD-1 blockade in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is currently limited to a small fraction of patients, underlining the need for predictive biomarkers. We recently identified a tumor-reactive tumor-infiltrating T lymphocyte (TIL) pool, termed PD-1T TILs, with predictive potential in NSCLC. Here, we examined PD-1T TILs as biomarker in NSCLC. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN PD-1T TILs were digitally quantified in 120 baseline samples from advanced NSCLC patients treated with PD-1 blockade. Primary outcome was disease control (DC) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes were DC at 12 months and survival. Exploratory analyses addressed the impact of lesion-specific responses, tissue sample properties, and combination with other biomarkers on the predictive value of PD-1T TILs. RESULTS PD-1T TILs as a biomarker reached 77% sensitivity and 67% specificity at 6 months, and 93% and 65% at 12 months, respectively. Particularly, a patient group without clinical benefit was reliably identified, indicated by a high negative predictive value (NPV) (88% at 6 months, 98% at 12 months). High PD-1T TILs related to significantly longer progression-free (HR 0.39, 95% CI, 0.24-0.63, P < 0.0001) and overall survival (HR 0.46, 95% CI, 0.28-0.76, P < 0.01). Predictive performance was increased when lesion-specific responses and samples obtained immediately before treatment were assessed. Notably, the predictive performance of PD-1T TILs was superior to PD-L1 and tertiary lymphoid structures in the same cohort. CONCLUSIONS This study established PD-1T TILs as predictive biomarker for clinical benefit to PD-1 blockade in patients with advanced NSCLC. Most importantly, the high NPV demonstrates an accurate identification of a patient group without benefit. See related commentary by Anagnostou and Luke, p. 4835.

Abstract
Background Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is treated to prevent subsequent ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (iIBC). However, many DCIS lesions will never become invasive. To prevent overtreatment, we need to distinguish harmless from potentially hazardous DCIS. We investigated whether the immune microenvironment (IME) in DCIS correlates with transition to iIBC. Methods Patients were derived from a Dutch population-based cohort of 10,090 women with pure DCIS with a median follow-up time of 12 years. Density, composition and proximity to the closest DCIS cell of CD20+ B-cells, CD3+CD8+ T-cells, CD3+CD8− T-cells, CD3+FOXP3+ regulatory T-cells, CD68+ cells, and CD8+Ki67+ T-cells was assessed with multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) with digital whole-slide analysis and compared between primary DCIS lesions of 77 women with subsequent iIBC (cases) and 64 without (controls). Results Higher stromal density of analysed immune cell subsets was significantly associated with higher grade, ER negativity, HER-2 positivity, Ki67 ≥ 14%, periductal fibrosis and comedonecrosis (P < 0.05). Density, composition and proximity to the closest DCIS cell of all analysed immune cell subsets did not differ between cases and controls. Conclusion IME features analysed by mIF in 141 patients from a well-annotated cohort of pure DCIS with long-term follow-up are no predictors of subsequent iIBC, but do correlate with other factors (grade, ER, HER2 status, Ki-67) known to be associated with invasive recurrences. ![]()

Abstract
(1) Background: an increasing number of breast cancer patients develop lethal brain metastases (BM). The complete removal of these tumors by surgery becomes complicated when cells infiltrate into the brain parenchyma. However, little is known about the nature of these invading cells in breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM). (2) Methods: we use intravital microscopy through a cranial window to study the behavior of invading cells in a mouse model of BCBM. (3) Results: we demonstrate that BCBM cells that escape from the metastatic mass and infiltrate into brain parenchyma undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, cells undergoing EMT revert to an epithelial state when growing tumor masses in the brain. Lastly, through multiplex immunohistochemistry, we confirm the presence of these infiltrative cells in EMT in patient samples. (4) Conclusions: together, our data identify the critical role of EMT in the invasive behavior of BCBM, which warrants further consideration to target those cells when treating BCBM.

Abstract
9539 Background: Neoadjuvant IPI + NIVO induces high pathologic response rates (pRR) of 74-78% in macroscopic stage III melanoma. Pathologic response ( < 50% viable tumor) is strongly associated with improved relapse-free survival (RFS); the previous OpACIN-neo study demonstrated a 2-year RFS of 96.9% in patients (pts) with pathologic response, whereas the 2-year RFS in non-responders was 35.5%. These data highlight the need for baseline biomarkers predictive for response and survival. Here, we present the predictive value of the 10-gene IFN-y expression signature algorithm (based on Ayers et al.) for pathologic response and relapse in a cohort of melanoma pts treated with neoadjuvant IPI + NIVO. Methods: Baseline tumor biopsies from lymph node metastases of stage III melanoma pts were used for IFN-y signature assessment. Pts were treated with a maximum of two cycles of neoadjuvant IPI 1mg/kg + NIVO 3mg/kg in the OpACIN-neo (arm B) and PRADO studies. RNA expression analysis was conducted using the nCounter® PanCancer Immune Profiling panel on the NanoString Flex machine (NanoString Technologies), which is clinically applicable due to its fast turn-around-time (two days). An IFN-y signature gene expression score (IFN-y score) was calculated using a NKI-developed algorithm. Association between IFN-y score and pathologic response or event-free survival (EFS) was examined by logistic regression and Cox analyses. The optimal cutoff between a high and low IFN-y score was defined based on a summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve. Results: In total, 103 pts treated in the OpACIN-neo and PRADO studies had baseline tumor material available. Median age was 56 years, 62% was male, and 52% had a high baseline IFN-y score. The pRR of the total cohort was 70% (72/103 pts), including 56% (58/103) major pathologic response (MPR, 0-≤10% viable tumor) and 14% (14/103) partial responses (pPR, 10-≤50% viable tumor). 30% (31/103 pts) had no pathologic response. After a median follow-up of 25.2 months, 26 pts (25.2%) developed a melanoma relapse. The IFN-y score was significantly associated with response (OR 1.061, p < 0.001) and relapse (OR 0. 974, p = 0.029). The pRR was 89% (48/54) in pts with a high IFN-y score versus 49% (24/49) in those with a low IFN-y score (p < 0.001). Pts with a high IFN-y score were also less likely to develop a relapse (11% [6/54] versus 41% [20/49], p = 0.001). Conclusions: Pts with a high IFN-y score in pre-treatment biopsies are more likely to respond to neoadjuvant IPI + NIVO with favorable EFS. A rapid gene expression analysis enables the IFN-y score to be used in daily clinical practice to identify pts who might qualify for treatment escalation or de-escalation. The DONIMI study [NCT04133948] currently investigates different neoadjuvant treatment combinations in stage III melanoma pts based on their intratumoral IFN-y score.

Abstract
9552 Background: Continuous combination of MAPK pathway inhibition (MAPKi) and anti-PD-(L)1 showed high response rates, but also high frequency of treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) in BRAFV600-mutated melanoma patients (pts). Short‐time MAPKi already induces T cell infiltration in pts and was synergistic with anti-PD‐1 in a pre-clinical model. This phase 2b trial aimed to identify the optimal duration of MAPKi with dabrafenib + trametinib (D+T) in combination with pembrolizumab (PEM). We have previously shown that no SUSARs were observed, toxicity was related to duration of D+T, and response rates increased after addition of D+T. Here we present 3-year PFS and OS data and results of translational analyses. Methods: In IMPemBra, pts with treatment-naïve BRAFV600E/K mutant advanced melanoma started with PEM 200mg Q3W. After 2 cycles, pts were randomized to continue PEM only (cohort 1) or to receive in addition intermittent dabrafenib 150 mg BID + trametinib 2mg QD for 2 x 1 week (cohort 2), 2 x 2 weeks (cohort 3) or continuous for 6 weeks (cohort 4). All cohorts continued PEM for up to 2 years. Primary endpoints were safety, treatment adherence and immune-activating capacity of the different regimens. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and PFS, OS was an exploratory endpoint. For survival analyses, pts that received D+T (cohort 2-4) were pooled. Results: Thirty-two pts were randomized, 56% were male, 53% had M1c disease and 88% had a LDH level < ULN. No new grade 3-4 TRAE were observed; frequencies were 12%, 12%, 50% and 62% for pts in cohort 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. ORRs were 75% in cohort 1 and 2, and 88% in cohort 3 and 4. The frequency of PD1+CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood decreased slightly during treatment and there were no differences between cohorts. In cohort 1 and 2, an increase in IFNγ signature in tumor biopsies was already observed after 6 weeks of PEM, in cohort 3-4 an increase in IFNγ signature was observed in week 9, after addition of D+T. The same pattern was observed for CD8+ T cell infiltration and PD-L1 expression. After a median follow-up of 43.5 months, the median PFS of pts treated with PEM monotherapy was 10.6 months versus 32.3 months for pts treated with PEM plus D+T (p = 0.19). The 3-year PFS rates were 25.0% and 50.0% respectively. Median OS was 40.5 months in the PEM pts and not reached for pts treated with PEM plus D+T (p = 0.32); 3-year OS rates were 62.5% and 70.8% respectively. Conclusions: IMPemBra demonstrated that short-term addition of intermittent D+T to PEM seems a more feasible, tolerable and an effective alternative for the continuous triple combination. In addition, it gives the opportunity to treat with second line targeted therapy after disease progression. Therefore, this regimen should be considered for further investigation in a larger cohort. Clinical trial information: NCT02625337.

Abstract
PURPOSE Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered aggressive, and therefore, virtually all young patients with TNBC receive (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy. Increased stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) have been associated with a favorable prognosis in TNBC. However, whether this association holds for patients who are node-negative (N0), young (< 40 years), and chemotherapy-naïve, and thus can be used for chemotherapy de-escalation strategies, is unknown. METHODS We selected all patients with N0 TNBC diagnosed between 1989 and 2000 from a Dutch population–based registry. Patients were age < 40 years at diagnosis and had not received (neo)adjuvant systemic therapy, as was standard practice at the time. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks were retrieved (PALGA: Dutch Pathology Registry), and a pathology review including sTILs was performed. Patients were categorized according to sTILs (< 30%, 30%-75%, and ≥ 75%). Multivariable Cox regression was performed for overall survival, with or without sTILs as a covariate. Cumulative incidence of distant metastasis or death was analyzed in a competing risk model, with second primary tumors as competing risk. RESULTS sTILs were scored for 441 patients. High sTILs (≥ 75%; 21%) translated into an excellent prognosis with a 15-year cumulative incidence of a distant metastasis or death of only 2.1% (95% CI, 0 to 5.0), whereas low sTILs (< 30%; 52%) had an unfavorable prognosis with a 15-year cumulative incidence of a distant metastasis or death of 38.4% (32.1 to 44.6). In addition, every 10% increment of sTILs decreased the risk of death by 19% (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.81; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.87), which are an independent predictor adding prognostic information to standard clinicopathologic variables (χ2 = 46.7, P < .001). CONCLUSION Chemotherapy-naïve, young patients with N0 TNBC with high sTILs (≥ 75%) have an excellent long-term prognosis. Therefore, sTILs should be considered for prospective clinical trials investigating (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy de-escalation strategies. Young cancer patients with TNBC and high sTILs have an excellent outcome, even without systemic treatment![]()

Abstract
Candidate immune biomarkers have been proposed for predicting response to immunotherapy in urothelial cancer (UC). Yet, these biomarkers are imperfect and lack predictive power. A comprehensive overview of the tumor immune contexture, including Tertiary Lymphoid structures (TLS), is needed to better understand the immunotherapy response in UC. We analyzed tumor sections by quantitative multiplex immunofluorescence to characterize immune cell subsets in various tumor compartments in tumors without pretreatment and tumors exposed to preoperative anti-PD1/CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitors (NABUCCO trial). Pronounced immune cell presence was found in UC invasive margins compared to tumor and stroma regions. CD8+PD1+ T-cells were present in UC, particularly following immunotherapy. The cellular composition of TLS was assessed by multiplex immunofluorescence (CD3, CD8, FoxP3, CD68, CD20, PanCK, DAPI) to explore specific TLS clusters based on varying immune subset densities. Using a k-means clustering algorithm, we found five distinct cellular composition clusters. Tumors unresponsive to anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 immunotherapy showed enrichment of a FoxP3+ T-cell-low TLS cluster after treatment. Additionally, cluster 5 (macrophage low) TLS were significantly higher after pre-operative immunotherapy, compared to untreated tumors. We also compared the immune cell composition and maturation stages between superficial (submucosal) and deeper TLS, revealing that superficial TLS had more pronounced T-helper cells and enrichment of early TLS than TLS located in deeper tissue. Furthermore, superficial TLS displayed a lower fraction of secondary follicle like TLS than deeper TLS. Taken together, our results provide a detailed quantitative overview of the tumor immune landscape in UC, which can provide a basis for further studies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: High body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor for developing breast cancer (BC), especially estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, and also has been associated with adverse survival. Still, patients with BC are currently treated independently of their BMI given limited understandings of the association between BC biology and patient adiposity. In this study, using retrospective data retrieved from two large BC studies, we aimed to identify genomic alterations of primary BC that are associated with BMI in the most common histological BC subtype - invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST). Patients, Data and Methods: Clinicopathological and genomic alteration data were retrieved from two study cohorts: METABRIC (Pereira et al. 2016) and ICGC (Nik-Zainal et al. 2016), with BMI recorded at the time of diagnosis and represented as either a continuous variable or a categorical variable of three categories - lean, overweight and obese. Stratification according to ER and HER2 status resulted in two focused subgroups: NST ER+/HER2- (n=392) and NST ER-/HER2- (n=152). Mutations classified as oncogenic using a set of predefined criteria were used to determine gene-level mutation status. Copy number alteration (CNA) calls were distinguished into three event types: amplification, hemizygous deletion and homozygous deletion. We used multivariable Firth’s logistic regression models with the presence of a genomic alteration as the response variable, BMI as the predicting variable of interest, and data cohort (METABRIC vs ICGC), age group (≤50 vs >50) and tumor grade (I & II vs III) as covariates, to assess the associations between BMI and recurrent gene-level genomic alterations, including gene mutations and CNAs. In a similar manner, we performed multivariable linear regression analysis, adjusting for age and tumor grade, to evaluate the associations of BMI with mutational signatures (MS) and tumor mutational burden in the ICGC NST subsets where these data are available. Results: Considering BMI as a categorical variable, we observed in the NST ER+/HER2- subgroup that PIK3CA was significantly less frequently mutated in obese compared to lean patients (33% vs 46%, odds ratio (OR) = 0.57 (95% confidence interval = (0.33, 0.97)), p = .039), while PTEN and TBX3 showed an increased frequency in overweight (6% vs 1%, OR = 4.14 (1.1, 22.34), p = .034) and obese (8% vs 1%, OR = 7.41 (1.82, 70.65), p = .008) patients, respectively. Regression analyses with BMI as a continuous variable revealed an increased prevalence of mutations in CDH1 and TBX3 genes as BMI increases by 1kg/m2 (OR = 1.14 (1.05, 1.24), p = .002, and OR = 1.13 (1.04, 1.22), p = .005, respectively) in patients with NST ER+/HER2- BC. No associations between BMI and oncogenic mutations was observed in the NST ER-/HER2- subgroup. Interrogation of gene-level CNAs in both subgroups demonstrated differences according to BMI in the prevalence of CNAs affecting a number of genes, many of which are known or have been presented with evidence to be involved in regulation of or regulated by hallmark pathways of BC, such as the MAPK/ERK, JAK/STAT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. We report a strong positive association between the single-base substitution signature 1 (SBS1), an age-correlated MS, and both continuous (coefficient (coef) = 18.3 (7.7, 28.9), p < .001) and categorical BMI (obese vs lean, coef = 336.3 (187.9, 484.8), p < .001) in the ICGC NST ER+/HER2- subgroup. Conclusion: This exploratory retrospective study suggests that the genomic profiles of primary BC may differ according to BMI. Clinical implications of these differences, especially the decreased prevalence of PIK3CA mutations in obese patients in the context of alpelisib, warrant further investigation. These results however indicate that patient adiposity should be taken into account in the era of personalized medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the association between the FGFR3 mutation status and immuno-histochemistry (IHC) markers (p53 and Ki-67) in invasive bladder cancer (BC), and to analyze their prognostic value in a multicenter, multi-laboratory radical cystectomy (RC) cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 1058 cN0M0, chemotherapy-naive BC patients who underwent RC with pelvic lymph-node dissection at 8 hospitals. The specimens were reviewed by uro-pathologists. Mutations in the FGFR3 gene were examined using PCR-SNaPshot; p53 and Ki-67 expression were determined by standard IHC. FGFR3 mutation status as well as p53 (cut-off>10%) and Ki-67 (cut-off>20%) expression were correlated to clinicopathological parameters and disease specific survival (DSS). RESULTS pT-stage was <pT2 in 80, pT2 in 266, pT3 in 513 and pT4 in 199 patients, respectively. Cancer-positive nodes were found in 410 (39%) patients. An FGFR3 mutation was detected in 107 (10%) and aberrant p53 and Ki-67 expression in 718 (68%) and 581(55%) tumors, respectively. The FGFR3 mutation was associated with lower pT-stage (P<0.001), lower grade (P<0.001), pN0 (P=0.001) and prolonged DSS (P<0.001). Aberrant Ki-67 and p53 expression were associated with higher pT-stage and G3-tumors, but not with pN-stage or worse DSS, even if these IHC-biomarkers were combined (P=0.81). Significant predictors for DSS in multivariable analysis were pT-stage (HR1.5, 95%CI:1.3-1.6; P<0.001), lympho-vascular invasion (LVI) (HR1.4, 95%CI:1.2-1.7; P=0.001), pN-stage (HR1.9, 95%CI:1.6-2.4; P<0.001) and FGFR3 mutation status (HR1.6, 95%CI:1.1-2.2; P=0.011). CONCLUSION The FGFR3 mutation selectively identified patients with favorable BC at RC while p53 and Ki-67 were only associated with adverse tumor characteristics. Our results suggest that, besides tumor-stage, nodal-status and LVI, the oncogenic FGFR3 mutation may represent a valuable tool to guide adjuvant treatment and follow-up strategies after RC.

Abstract
Residual biospecimens that are stored in hospitals' diagnostic specimen archives can be used for scientific research under strict legal and ethical regulations. In the Netherlands, a Code of Conduct governs responsible secondary use of residual biospecimens. However, implementation of this Code seems to be challenging. This study aims to explore the most important factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of the Code. In addition, it investigates what is needed to further foster the responsible use of residual biospecimens. A mixed-methods design was used. Questionnaires were sent out to pathologists, patient information centers, physicians, researchers, data protection officers (DPOs), members of research ethics committees, and members of the boards of directors of all hospitals in the Netherlands (81 hospitals). To further investigate the barriers and facilitators, interviews were conducted with pathologists, patient information centers, physician-researchers, DPOs, review boards, research coordinators, and quality managers of pathology departments. In total, 246 respondents filled out the questionnaire and 36 interviews were conducted. Major barriers for implementing were a lack of resources (time, money), a lack of attention for responsible use, and a lack of practical knowledge (knowing what to do, where to go with questions). In contrast, the perception that implementing the Code was necessary, either by the respondent or by colleagues, was considered "a driver" for implementation. Practical instruments such as checklists and roadmaps were considered necessary to foster implementation; however, the creation of such instruments was hindered by a lack of clear-cut answers regarding legal aspects. Therefore, more clarity and harmonization on how to interpret both the Code and legislation regarding secondary use were considered necessary.

Abstract
Inhibitors of the PD-1-PD-L1 axis have been approved as therapy for many human cancers. In spite of the evidence for their widespread clinical activity, little is known about the immunological alterations that occur in human cancer tissue after PD-1 blockade. We developed and employed a patient-derived tumor fragment platform to dissect the early immunological response of human tumor tissue to ex vivo PD-1 blockade. We observed that the capacity of immune cells to be reactivated ex vivo was predictive of clinical response, and perturbation analyses identified tumor-resident T cells as a key component of this immunological response. In addition, through combined analysis of baseline properties and immune response capacity, we identified a new subgroup of infiltrated tumors that lacks the capacity to respond to PD-1 blockade. Finally, the baseline presence of tertiary lymphoid structures and their components correlated with the capacity of cancers to undergo intratumoral immune cell reactivation.

Abstract
Comprehensive analysis of tumor infiltrating myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment of penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is lacking. In this retrospective study, for the first time, PSCC resection specimens (N = 103) were annotated into the following compartments: intratumoral tumor (IT Tumor), intratumoral stroma (IT Stroma), peritumoral tumor (PT Tumor) and peritumoral stroma (PT Stroma) compartments. We then quantified CD14+, CD68+ and CD163+ myeloid cells within these compartments using an image analysis software and assessed their association with various clinical parameters, including high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) status. In the total cohort, hrHPV status, grade of differentiation, age and tumor size were associated with myeloid cell densities. hrHPV+ tumors had higher infiltration rates of CD14+, CD68+ and CD163+ myeloid cells in the IT tumor compartment (p < 0.001, for all) compared to hrHPV- tumors. Furthermore, when examining the association between compartment-specific infiltration and differentiation grade, increased myeloid cell densities in the IT tumor compartment were associated with a more advanced histological grade (p < 0.001, for all). This association remained significant when the hrHPV- cohort (N = 60) was analyzed (CD14+ p = 0.001; CD68+ p < 0.001; CD163+ p = 0.004). Subgroup analysis in the hrHPV+ group (N = 43) showed that high infiltration rates of CD68+ and CD163+ cells in the PT tumor compartment were associated with lymph node (LN) metastasis (p = 0.031 and p = 0.026, respectively). Regarding the association between myeloid cell densities and disease-specific survival, the risk of death was found to decrease slightly as the number of myeloid cells in the IT tumor compartment increased (CD14+ p = 0.04; CD68+ p = 0.05; CD163+ p = 0.02). However, after adjusting for hrHPV, no independent association between myeloid densities and disease-specific survival were found. Altogether, these findings demonstrate the importance of assessing myeloid cell densities within the spatial context of the tumor. Further studies are needed to unravel the specific phenotype of myeloid cells residing in the different compartments, their effect on clinical parameters and the impact of hrHPV on the recruitment of myeloid cell populations in PSCC.

Abstract
9579 Background: Recently, trials have shown the benefit of adjuvant aPD-1 therapy in macroscopic stage III melanoma patients. This treatment has been incorporated in daily clinical practice, however, a substantial part of patients still does not benefit from this therapy, as they develop recurrences. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of adjuvant aPD-1 therapy and the potency of the IFNγ signature as a prognostic or predictive marker, as it has proven to be predictive of response in neoadjuvant trials. Methods: Patients participating in an ongoing biobank study and naïve for systemic therapy were included, between 10-2017 and 06-2020, after complete resection of macroscopic stage III melanoma. Approval and reimbursement of adjuvant therapy in the Netherlands started in 12-2018, resulting in 2 cohorts of similar high risk patients: prior to availability of adjuvant aPD-1 (cohort A) and thereafter (cohort B). Data cut-off for clinical data was January 1st 2021. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on samples of stage III melanoma by CeGaT GmbH, IFNγ signature was determined on these data with the median as cut-off. Clinical data were compared between cohort A and B as intention-to-treat population, including patients with a recurrence before adjuvant therapy start (n=10). Results: In total, 99 patients were included: 50 in cohort A and 49 in cohort B. Majority of included patients had thick primary melanomas (Breslow >2mm in 59.6%) and stage IIIC/IIID disease (83.3%) according to AJCC 8th edition. At a median follow-up of 20.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 16.6-24.7), median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 6.1 months (95%CI 3.9-8.4) versus 22.8 months (95%CI 8.7-36.9), significantly in favor of cohort B (p=0.011). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached in both patient groups, but was overall significantly different (p=0.040), favoring cohort B. RNA sequencing was performed in 25 patients who received adjuvant therapy and in 24 who did not, excluding patients with an early recurrence (<12 weeks). In both treatment groups median (p=0.003) and 12-months RFS (p<0.001) was significantly higher for IFNγ high patients, but both IFNγ low and high patients show higher RFS rates when receiving adjuvant aPD-1 therapy (Table). Conclusions: Our study confirms RFS and OS benefit of adjuvant aPD-1 for patients with macroscopic stage III melanoma. IFNγ has shown to be a prognostic marker in both patients who were and were not treated with adjuvant therapy, as both patients with IFNγ high and low signatures show benefit from adjuvant therapy.[Table: see text]

Abstract
AIMS Determining prognosis following poor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) remains challenging. An immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME) as well as immune infiltrate density and composition are considered to play a critical role in the immune interaction between host and tumour and can predict therapy response and survival in many cancers, including gastrointestinal malignancies. The aim of this study was to establish the TME characteristics associated with survival following a poor response to nCRT. METHODS AND RESULTS The prognostic significance of OAC-associated CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ , forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3+ ) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was studied by immunohistochemistry and quantified by automated image analysis in 123 patients who underwent nCRT and curative resection. Results from good and poor responders were contrasted and immune infiltration was related to disease course in both groups. Subsequently a cohort of 57 patients with a moderate response to nCRT was analysed in a similar fashion. Tumour cell percentage positively correlated to immune infiltration markers. In good and moderate responders, none of the immune infiltrate parameters was associated with survival; in poor responders CD8+ was an independent negative predictor of OS in univariate analysis (P = 0.03) and high CD8+ infiltration was associated with worse OS (15 versus 32 months, P = 0.042). CONCLUSION A high CD8+ density is an independent biomarker of poor OS in poor responders to nCRT, but not in good and moderate responders. Our results suggest that patients with a poor response to nCRT but concomitant high CD8+ counts in the resection specimen require adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Although ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor to ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (iIBC), most DCIS lesions remain indolent. Hence, overdiagnosis and overtreatment of DCIS is a major concern. There is an urgent need for prognostic markers that can distinguish harmless from potentially hazardous DCIS. We hypothesised that features of the breast adipose tissue may be associated with risk of subsequent iIBC. We performed a case-control study nested in a population-based DCIS cohort, consisting of 2658 women diagnosed with primary DCIS between 1989 and 2005, uniformly treated with breast conserving surgery (BCS) alone. We assessed breast adipose features with digital pathology (HALO®, Indica Labs) and related these to iIBC risk in 108 women that developed subsequent iIBC (cases) and 168 women who did not (controls) by conditional logistic regression, accounting for clinicopathological and immunohistochemistry variables. Large breast adipocyte size was significantly associated with iIBC risk (odds ratio (OR) 2.75, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.25-6.05). High cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 protein expression in the DCIS cells was also associated with subsequent iIBC (OR 3.70 (95% CI = 1.59-8.64). DCIS with both high COX-2 expression and large breast adipocytes was associated with a 12-fold higher risk (OR 12.0, 95% CI = 3.10-46.3, P < 0.001) for subsequent iIBC compared with women with smaller adipocyte size and low COX-2 expression. Large breast adipocytes combined with high COX-2 expression in DCIS is associated with a high risk of subsequent iIBC. Besides COX-2, adipocyte size has the potential to improve clinical management in patients diagnosed with primary DCIS.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors are at increased risk of developing second primary esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). We aimed to gain insight in the driving events of ESCC in HL survivors (hESCC) by using RNA sequencing and NanoString profiling. Objectives were to investigate differences in RNA signaling between hESCC and sporadic ESCC (sESCC), and to look for early malignant changes in non-neoplastic esophageal tissue of HL survivors (hNN-tissue). We analyzed material of 26 hESCC cases, identified via the Dutch pathology registry (PALGA) and 17 sESCC cases from one academic institute and RNA sequencing data of 44 sESCC cases from TCGA. Gene expression profiles for the NanoString panel PanCancer IO 360 were obtained from 16/26 hESCC and four hNN-tissue, while non-neoplastic squamous tissue of four sporadic cases (sNN-tissue) served as reference profile. Hierarchical clustering, differential expression and pathway analyses were performed. Overall, the molecular profiles of hESCC and sESCC were similar. There was increased immune, HMGB1 and ILK signaling compared to sNN-tissue. The profiles of hNN-tissue were distinct from sNN-tissue, indicating early field effects in the esophagus of HL survivors. The BRCA1 pathway was upregulated in hESCC tissue, compared to hNN tissue. Analysis of expression profiles reveals overlap between hESCC and sESCC, and differences between hESCC and its surrounding hNN-tissue. Further research is required to validate our results and to investigate whether the changes observed in hNN-tissue are already detectable before development of hESCC. In the future, our findings could be used to improve hESCC patient management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The profound disparity in response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) by cutaneous melanoma (CM) and uveal melanoma (UM) patients is not well understood. Therefore, we characterized metastases of CM and UM from the same metastatic site (liver), in order to dissect the potential underlying mechanism in differential response on ICB. METHODS Tumor liver samples from CM (n=38) and UM (n=28) patients were analyzed at the genomic (whole exome sequencing), transcriptional (RNA sequencing) and protein (immunohistochemistry and GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling) level. RESULTS Comparison of CM and UM metastases from the same metastatic site revealed that, although originating from the same melanocyte lineage, CM and UM differed in somatic mutation profile, copy number profile, tumor mutational burden (TMB) and consequently predicted neoantigens. A higher melanin content and higher expression of the melanoma differentiation antigen MelanA was observed in liver metastases of UM patients. No difference in B2M and human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) expression was observed. A higher expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) was found in CM compared with UM liver metastases, although the majority of CM and UM liver metastases lacked PD-L1 expression. There was no difference in the extent of immune infiltration observed between CM and UM metastases, with the exception of a higher expression of CD163 (p<0.0001) in CM liver samples. While the extent of immune infiltration was similar for CM and UM metastases, the ratio of exhausted CD8 T cells to cytotoxic T cells, to total CD8 T cells and to Th1 cells, was significantly higher in UM metastases. CONCLUSIONS While TMB was different between CM and UM metastases, tumor immune infiltration was similar. The greater dependency on PD-L1 as an immune checkpoint in CM and the identification of higher exhaustion ratios in UM may both serve as explanations for the difference in response to ICB. Consequently, in order to improve current treatment for metastatic UM, reversal of T cell exhaustion beyond programmed cell death 1 blockade should be considered.

Abstract
BackgroundBefore adjuvant checkpoint inhibition the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was poor (<50%) in high-risk stage III melanoma patients. Adjuvant CTLA-4 (ipilimumab, IPI) and PD-1 (nivolumab, NIVO, or pembrolizumab) blockade have been shown to improve relapse-free survival (RFS) and OS (latter only for IPI so far). Due to a broader immune activation neoadjuvant therapy with checkpoint inhibitors might be more effective than adjuvant, as suggested in preclinical experiments. The OpACIN trial compared neoadjuvant versus adjuvant IPI plus NIVO, while the subsequent OpACIN-neo trial tested three different dosing schedules of neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO without adjuvant therapy. High pathologic response rates of 74–78% were induced by neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO. Here, we present the 36- and 24-months RFS of the OpACIN and OpACIN-neo trial, respectively.Materials and MethodsThe phase 1b OpACIN trial included 20 stage IIIB/IIIC melanoma patients, which were randomized to receive IPI 3 mg/kg plus NIVO 1 mg/kg either adjuvant 4 cycles or split 2 cycles neoadjuvant and 2 adjuvant. In the phase 2 OpACIN-neo trial, 86 patients were randomized to 2 cycles neoadjuvant treatment, either in arm A: 2x IPI 3 mg/kg plus NIVO 1 mg/kg q3w (n=30), arm B: 2x IPI 1 mg/kg plus NIVO 3 mg/kg q3w (n=30), or arm C: 2x IPI 3 mg/kg q3w followed immediately by 2x NIVO 3 mg/kg q3w (n=26). Pathologic response was defined as <50% viable tumor cells and in both trials centrally reviewed by a blinded pathologist. RFS rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsOnly 1 of 71 (1.4%) patients with a pathologic response on neoadjuvant therapy had relapsed, versus 16 of 23 patients (69.6%) without a pathologic response, after a median follow-up of 36 months for the OpACIN and 24 months for the OpACIN-neo trial. In the OpACIN trial, the estimated 3-year RFS rate for the neoadjuvant arm was 80% (95% CI: 59%-100%) versus 60% (95% CI: 36%-100%) for the adjuvant arm. Median RFS was not reached for any of the arms within the OpACIN-neo trial. Estimated 24-months RFS rate was 84% for all patients (95% CI: 76%-92%); 90% for arm A (95% CI: 80%-100%), 78% for arm B (95% CI: 63%-96%) and 83% for arm C (95% CI: 70%-100%). Baseline interferon-γ gene expression score and tumor mutational burden predict response.ConclusionsOpACIN for the first time showed a potential benefit of neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO versus adjuvant immunotherapy, whereas the OpACIN-neo trial confirmed the high pathologic response rates that can be achieved by neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO. Both trials show that pathologic response can function as a surrogate markers for RFS.Clinical trial informationNCT02437279, NCT02977052Disclosure InformationJ.M. Versluis: None. E.A. Rozeman: None.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction The outcome of high-risk stage III melanoma patients was poor with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of <50%. Adjuvant ipilimumab (IPI) improved the relapse-free survival (RFS) and OS, and adjuvant anti-PD-1 improved the RFS further. Preclinical data suggested that neoadjuvant therapy may be more effective than adjuvant therapy due to broader immune activation. The OpACIN trial compared neoadjuvant IPI plus nivolumab (NIVO) versus adjuvant IPI plus NIVO, while the subsequent OpACIN-neo trial tested three different dosing schedules of neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO only. Neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO induced high pathologic response rates of 74-78%. Here, we present the 36- and 18-months RFS update of the OpACIN and OpACIN-neo trial, respectively.
Methods The phase 1b OpACIN trial randomized 20 stage IIIB/IIIC melanoma patients to receive either 4 cycles of adjuvant IPI 3 mg/kg plus NIVO 1 mg/kg or 2 cycles of neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO at the same dose followed by 2 cycles adjuvant IPI plus NIVO. In the OpACIN-neo trial, 86 patients were randomized to 2 cycles neoadjuvant in arm A: 2x IPI 3 mg/kg plus NIVO 1 mg/kg q3w (n=30), arm B: 2x IPI 1 mg/kg plus NIVO 3 mg/kg q3w (n=30), and arm C: 2x IPI 3 mg/kg q3w followed immediately by 2x NIVO 3 mg/kg q3w (n=26). Pathologic response was defined as <50% viable tumor cells and centrally reviewed by a blinded pathologist. RFS rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results After a median follow-up of 36 months for the OpACIN and 18 months for the OpACIN-neo trial, only 1 of 71 patients (1.4%) with a pathologic response on neoadjuvant therapy had relapsed, versus 15 of 23 patients (65.2%) without a pathologic response. The estimated 3-year RFS rate for the neoadjuvant arm was 80% (95% CI: 59%-100%) versus 60% (95% CI: 36%-100%) for the adjuvant arm in the OpACIN trial. The median RFS was not reached in any of the arms within the OpACIN-neo trial. Estimated 18-months RFS rate was 85% (95% CI: 78%-93%) for all patients; for arm A 90% (95% CI: 80%-100%), for arm B 82% (95% CI: 70%-98%) and for arm C 83% (95% CI: 70%-100%). Translational analyses showed that tumor mutational burden and interferon-γ gene expression score at baseline, both separate and combined, can function as predictors of response.
Conclusions OpACIN showed for the first time a potential benefit of neoadjuvant versus adjuvant immunotherapy, while OpACIN-neo confirmed the high pathologic response rates which can be achieved by neoadjuvant IPI plus NIVO. Both trials argue for pathologic response as a surrogate markers for RFS.
