8 Established use of biomarkers in 2013 Clinical setting adjuvant first-line liver/lung resection Diagnosis of CRC mcrc MSI KRAS??? Molecular markers advanced chemorefractory disease KRAS* KRAS WT KRAS MT EGFR-targeted therapy layers of molecular selection clinical trials *NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA (ex20) may further enhance selection for EGFR-targeted therapy

9 Outline 1. Primary resistance to EGFR-targeted therapy in mcrc KRASin CRC: a success of molecular selection for EGFR-targeted monoclonal antibodies Unresolved issues: increased detection sensitivity for KRAS selection; differences among KRAS alleles 2. Other candidate biomarkers of resistance: pros & cons Coexistence of different molecular alterations and multi-determinant analyses 3. Secondary resistance Liquid biopsies to monitor ongoing mutagenesis 4. Implications for the clinical decision making

10 Predictive markers for EGFR-targeted therapeutics in mcrc: a rationale dissection of a molecular pathway for personalized cancer therapy

13 Molecular selection based on KRAS: a successful story 1. It is a relevant molecular alteration in CRC biology 2. Testing provides a digital output (mutated/wt) 3. Reproducible 4. Status in metastatic deposits mirrors primary T 5. High specific negative predictive value: mutated patients display no benefit at all ( 0% RR) 6. Allows huge savings for health care systems

14 What is there beyond KRAS mutations? More on KRAS differences among KRASalleles : G13D mutations versus all others increased detection sensitivity for KRAS selection KRAS amplification What is beyond? solitary KRAS vs multiple signaling path mutations sensitive assessment in a phase III trial The myriad of mechanisms of EGFR resistance Her2 amplification in CRC liquid biopsies to monitor ongoing mutagenesis Integration of molecular knowledge in clinical practice

26 Standardization of EGFR FISH in colorectal cancer: Results of an international inter-laboratory reproducibility ring study Slide-exchange program to compare EGFR GCN FISH testing results among five pathology reference Centres located in Belgium (University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Leuven), Italy (Ospedale Niguarda Ca Granda, Milano and Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Rozzano), Switzerland (Laboratory of Molecular Diagnostic, Istituto Cantonale di Patologia, Locarno) and United States(University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora). Molecular diagnosis of EGFRGCN by FISH varied largely among pathology centres, with fluctuations covering the whole range of proposed cut-offs of predictive usefulness from literature. Definition of a detailed scoring system and implementation of a comprehensive training program for molecular diagnostic laboratories are therefore necessary before including the test into clinical practice Sartore-Bianchi et al. J Clin Pathol, 2011

27 Activation of both PI3K/AKT & RAS/MEK pathways is common in CRC 1 co-activation upon binding to RTK 2 multiple molecular alteration whithin the same tumor Modified from Sarat Chandarlapaty, ASCO 2011

28 Overlapping among molecular alterations in mcrc KRAS xpten 23 In mcrc there is an association between PIK3CA (exon 9) and KRAS mutations (14.7% in KRAS mutants vs 6.8% in KRAS wild types; (p=0.0006) PIK3CA BRAF 3 Sartore-Bianchi et al. PLoS One 2009 De Roock et al. Lancet Oncol2010

29 Effect of multiple molecular alterations within PI3K/AKT & RAS/MEK pathways on response to EGFR-targeted monoclonal antibodies Because of the occurrence of multiple molecular alterationswithin the same tumor, we investigated a cohort of 132 patients treated with EGFR-targeted moabs in the chemorefractory settingby separating patients according to the actual number of molecular abnormalities within the same tumor (i.e. none vs1 vs 2 alterations) among KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CAmutations and loss of PTEN. The probability of response was: 50.0%(22/44) among patients with no alterations, 4.2%(2/47) among patients with 1 alteration and 0%(0/23) for patients with 2 alterations, objective response rate (p< ( quadruple negative ) 1 2+ number of molecular alterations 50% 5% 0% Sartore-Bianchi A et al.

54 Conclusions 1. Molecular selection according to KRASstatus and other downstream effectors (BRAF, PIK3CA) provided a step forward to personalized cancer therapy in mcrc 2. Multiple molecular alterations do occur within the same tumor and multi-determinant evaluation may improve selection 3. Her2is an effector of secondary resistance and a target for therapy 4. We are gaining insights into mechanisms of acquired resistance and KRAS is still a key player (secondary mutations, amplification) 5. Tumor heterogeneity might hamper clinical selection and increased detection sensitivity improve detection of minor clones 6. Liquid biopsies are a tool for monitoring ongoing mutagenesis
