Abstract

Background: We initiated the Nationwide Cancer Genome Screening Project in Japan since February 2014. From October 2015, we have introduced the Next Generation Sequencing to detect cancer genome alterations in advanced biliary tract cancer (aBTC; intrahepatic bile duct, extrahepatic bile duct, gallbladder, and ampulla of Vater), called as the SCRUM-Japan GI-SCREEN. The objective is to evaluate the frequency of cancer genome alterations and to identify patients who are candidate for clinical trial with corresponding targeting agents. Methods: This study is ongoing with 20 major cancer centers. Patients with aBTC who plan to or receive chemotherapy were eligible. DNA and RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumor samples and were analyzed by the Oncomine Cancer Research Panel (OCP) which allows to detect mutations, copy number variant (CNV) and fusion genes in a CLIA certified CAP accredited lab. The detected genomic variant data were classified according to genetic drivers of cancer, including gain- and loss-of-function or single nucleotide variant based on the Oncomine Knowledgebase. Results: As of March 31st 2017, a total of 167 aBTC patients were enrolled and 140 samples were analyzed. The sequence was successfully performed in 92 tumors (65.7%). The frequently detected gene alterations were shown in table. No gene fusion was detected. We will show the clinical outcome based on certain key cancer genome alterations.Table: 623PDIHBD n = 36EHBD 35GB 14VP 7n(%)TP53 mutation(m)9(25)11(31)8(57)4(57)KRAS m12(33)11(31)2(14)4(57)IDH1 m5(14)1(3)00ERBB3 m1(3)3(9)1(7)0ERBB2 m CNV ( > 7copies)0 02(6) 1(3)1(7) 1(7)0 0CTNNB1 m1(3)1(3)1(7)2(29)PIK3CA m004(29)1(14)CDKN2A m3(8)02(14)0APC m2(6)1(3)01(14)ATM m1(3)2(6)1(7)0FGFR3 m CNV1(3) 00 2(6)0 1(7)0 0MDM2 CNV1(3)1(3)1(7)1(14)SMAD4 m2(6)1(3)01(14)STK11 m02(6)1(7)1(14)TET2 m01(3)2(14)1(14)CCNE1 m1(3)03(21)0 Open table in a new tab Conclusions: This nationwide screening system is efficient to detect rare gene alterations in aBTC.
