Abstract

Introduction/Background The UTOLA study, comparing maintenance olaparib vs placebo in advanced/metastatic endometrial cancer (EC), did not find progression-free-survival (PFS) difference. Subgroup analysis suggests some efficacy of olaparib in HRD positive tumor (Joly et al ESMO 2023). Here, we explored the molecular heterogeneity and prognosis of non-p53 tumors.

Methodology Tumors from patients included in UTOLA (NCT03745950) with prospective targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) were included in this analysis. NGS data were centrally analyzed (127 genes, targeting 667,5Kb, including POLE (exo-nuclease domain, EDM), TP53, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, PTEN, and CTNNB1). Tumors were categorized following ESMO-ESTRO-ESP guidelines: POLE-EDM-mutated, mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR), p53-abnormal (p53abn) (abnormal immunohistochemistry expression or TP53 mutation), and tumors with no specific molecular profile (NSMP). Non-p53 molecular subgroups were further categorized based on a-priori hypotheses: mutational burden (TMB-high>27 mut/Mb (2.5 standard deviation within p53abn group)) for dMMR tumors, and PTEN/PIK3R1-wild-type status (Momeni-Boroujeni, 2022) and KRAS/CTNNB1 mutations for NSMP tumors. Genomic instability was assessed by the GIScar score (Leman, 2023). The reference group for PFS analyses was the p53abn.

Results Excluding one POLE tumor, 136 patients were categorized as follows: dMMR (N=19), among which 9 (50%) had low TMB (more frequently of histological high-grade, p<0.05); NSMP (N=38), among which 12 (31%) were categorized PTEN/PIK3R1-wild-type tumors (all randomized to olaparib), and 18 (47%) KRAS/CTNNB1-mutated; and p53 (N=79). PTEN/PIK3R1-wild-type tumors had higher numbers of large genomic events (GIScar score). Molecular group (NSMP/dMMR/p53abn) was not associated with PFS. Prognosis of KRAS/CTNNB1-driven NSMP and high-TMB dMMR tumors were similar to p53abn tumors (median PFS 5–7 months) while patients with PTEN/PIK3R1-wild-type NSMP (15 months) and with low-TMB dMMR tumors (15 months) experienced better outcomes.

Conclusion Our results suggest that the mutational heterogeneity of advanced/metastatic EC within molecular subgroup is associated with patient prognosis. Further studies on subclassification of NSMP and dMMR tumors should be encouraged for future clinical trials.

Disclosures The UTOLA trial was funded by ASTRAZENECA.
