Abstract Text | Genomic alterations in key components of PI3K/mTOR pathway have been proposed as candidate predictive markers for rapalog therapy in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We tested this hypothesis in patients from a randomized phase II trial of everolimus versus sunitinib.Archival specimens collected at baseline were analyzed with targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). Focus of interest were alterations in key PI3K pathway components. PTEN expression was assessed by IHC. Association between molecular findings and treatment outcomes was investigated; same associations were tested for 2 everolimus-treated trial cohorts in gastric and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Among 184 everolimus-treated patients with RCC with NGS data, mutation rates in genes of interest were 6% (TSC1), 4.4% (TSC2), and 8.2% (mTOR); 44% harbored alterations in ≥1 PI3K pathway component. For subjects with presence versus absence of mutations in TSC1, TSC2, or mTOR progression-free survival (PFS) neither differed on univariate analysis (HR, 1.0; P = 0.895) nor on multivariate testing stratified by MSKCC risk group and other established prognostic factors (HR, 1.1; P = 0.806). Everolimus-treated patients with retained (n = 50) versus lost (n = 50) PTEN IHC expression had median PFS of 5.3 months versus 10.5 months (HR, 2.5; P < 0.001). Such differences were not seen with sunitinib (10.9 months vs. 10.3 months; HR, 0.8; P = 0.475). Molecular findings did not correlate with outcomes in gastric and HCC cohorts.Association between mutation status for TSC1/TSC2/mTOR and therapeutic outcome on everolimus was not confirmed. Clinically meaningful differences in PFS were seen based on PTEN expression by IHC, lost in >50% of patients. |

TSC1 | NCBI | LAM|TSC | TSC1, TSC complex subunit 1, is a tumor suppressor (PMID: 30562755) that forms a complex with Tsc2 and inhibits mTOR pathway signaling, thus regulating cell growth and metabolism (PMID: 27226234). Germline TSC1 inactivating mutations cause tuberous sclerosis complex and somatic TSC1 mutations have been identified in various cancers, including renal cell carcinoma, mucosal melanoma, and breast cancer (PMID: 27226234, PMID: 30327302, PMID: 29185092, PMID: 28027327). | Tumor suppressor |

TSC1 mutant | renal cell carcinoma | conflicting | Everolimus | Clinical Study - Cohort | Actionable | In a retrospective analysis, TSC1, TSC2, or MTOR mutation status was not associated with progression-free survival in renal cell carcinoma patients treated with Afinitor (everolimus) (PMID: 30327302). | 30327302 |
TSC2 mutant | renal cell carcinoma | conflicting | Everolimus | Clinical Study - Cohort | Actionable | In a retrospective analysis, TSC1, TSC2, or MTOR mutation status was not associated with progression-free survival in renal cell carcinoma patients treated with Afinitor (everolimus) (PMID: 30327302). | 30327302 |
PTEN loss | renal cell carcinoma | predicted - sensitive | Everolimus | Clinical Study - Cohort | Actionable | In a retrospective analysis, loss of PTEN expression was associated with improved progression-free survival compared to PTEN positive (10.5 vs 5.3 months) in renal cell carcinoma patients treated with Afinitor (everolimus) (PMID: 30327302). | 30327302 |
