Analysis of KRAS , NRAS , BRAF , PIK3CA and TP53 mutations in a large prospective series of locally advanced rectal cancer patients
2019
Little information is available on the clinical significance of cancer-related genes such as KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA and TP53 in nonmetastatic rectal cancer. We investigated mutations of these genes in a large prospective series of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients who were recruited into two phase II trials. Mutational analyses were performed with diagnostically validated methods including polymerase chain reaction, capillary electrophoresis single-strand conformational analysis, Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing. Associations between single or multiple gene mutations and clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes were explored. Of these 269, 21…
FcγRIIa and Fc γ RIIIa Polymorphisms and Cetuximab Benefit in the Microscopic Disease
2014
Abstract Purpose: FcγR polymorphisms have been reported to enhance the immune-mediated effects of cetuximab in metastatic colorectal cancer. There are no data on the relationship between these polymorphisms and cetuximab in the early-stage setting. We performed a pharmacogenomic analysis of EXPERT-C, a randomized phase II trial of neoadjuvant CAPOX followed by chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant CAPOX ± cetuximab in high-risk, locally advanced rectal cancer. Experimental Design: FcγRIIa-H131R and FcγRIIIa-V158F polymorphisms were analyzed on DNA from peripheral blood samples. Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to calculate survival estimates and compare treatment…
Sequence variation in mature microRNA-608 and benefit from neo-adjuvant treatment in locally advanced rectal cancer patients
2016
Summary Analysis of a polymorphism in mature microRNA-608 (rs4919510) in rectal cancer patients enrolled in a randomized phase II clinical trial identified patient subpopulations who might benefit from the use of an intensified neo-adjuvant treatment strategy with Cetuximab.
FCγRIIa and FCγRIIIa polymorphisms (SNPs) and cetuximab (C) benefit in the EXPERT-C trial.

3573 Background: FCγRIIa-H131R and FCγRIIIa-V158F SNPs have been reported to enhance the immune-mediated effects of monoclonal antibodies including cetuximab (C) in metastatic colorectal cancer (CR...
The impact of TP53 mutation on high-risk rectal cancer patients treated within the EXPERT-C trial, a randomized phase II study of neoadjuvant oxalipl…

e14088 Background: The EXPERT-C trial randomised 165 patients into neoadjuvant CAPOX and CRT ± cetuximab and demonstrated a significant increase in radiological response (RR) and overall survival (OS) with cetuximab in KRAS/BRAF wild type (WT) rectal cancer (Dewdney et al JCO in press). TP53 mutation has been associated with worse CRT response and survival in rectal cancer and could lead to stimulation of PI3K signalling pathway, thus potential resistance to cetuximab. This analysis evaluates the impact of TP53 mutation in the EXPERT-C trial. Methods: FFPE tissue from biopsy (n=102) and resection specimens (n=99) were analysed for TP53 mutations (exons 5-8) using a multiplex PCR method fol…
KRAS and BRAF mutations in circulating tumour DNA from locally advanced rectal cancer
2018
There are limited data on circulating, cell-free, tumour (ct)DNA analysis in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Digital droplet (dd)PCR was used to investigate KRAS/BRAF mutations in ctDNA from baseline blood samples of 97 LARC patients who were treated with CAPOX followed by chemoradiotherapy, surgery and adjuvant CAPOX ± cetuximab in a randomised phase II trial. KRAS mutation in G12D, G12V or G13D was detected in the ctDNA of 43% and 35% of patients with tumours that were mutant and wild-type for these hotspot mutations, respectively, according to standard PCR-based analyses on tissue. The detection rate in the ctDNA of 10 patients with less common mutations was 50%. In 26 cases ctDNA…
