Mashup Score: 23Distinct molecular and clinical features of specific variants of KRAS codon 12 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma - 3 month(s) ago
Abstract. PURPOSE Oncogenic mutations in KRAS have been identified in > 85% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases. G12D, G12V, and G12R are the most frequent variants. Using large clinical and genomic databases, this study characterizes prognostic and molecular differences between KRAS variants, focusing on KRAS G12D and G12R. METHODS PDAC samples were tested using DNA and RNA sequencing. MAPK activation score and tumor microenvironment were analyzed from RNA expression data. Real-world overall survival (OS) obtained from insurance claims data was calculated from tissue collection to last contact. Significance was determined by X2 and Fisher-Exact tests. RESULTS 3,755 PDAC patients harboring KRAS G12D (n = 1,766), G12V (n = 1,294) G12R (n = 621) or G12C (n = 74) variants were identified. Patients with G12R mutations had longer OS compared to G12D overall (12.7 vs 10.1 months, p-value=0.0001), with similar trends in patients treated with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (13.5 vs 10

Mashup Score: 23
Abstract. Purpose: Interleukin (IL)-1 pathway upregulation is implicated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression, therapy resistance, and survival. Nadunolimab is an IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP)-targeting antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity that blocks IL-1α/IL-1β signaling. We investigated efficacy and safety of nadunolimab in PDAC, in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GN). Patients and methods: Patients with previously untreated locally advanced/metastatic PDAC received nadunolimab (1.0-7.5 mg/kg) every two weeks with standard GN. The primary objective was safety; secondary objectives were anti-tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Correlations between serum and tumor biomarkers and clinical response were explored. Results: 76 patients were enrolled, median age 63 years (range 43–89), 42% female, 97% with metastatic disease, 9% having received adjuvant chemotherapy. The most frequen

Mashup Score: 23Multiomic Characterization Reveals a Distinct Molecular Landscape in Young-Onset Pancreatic Cancer - 9 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Using a real-world database with matched genomic-transcriptomic molecular data, we sought to characterize the distinct molecular correlates underlying clinical differences between patients with young-onset pancreatic cancer (YOPC; younger than 50 years) and patients with average-onset pancreatic cancer (AOPC; 70 years and older). METHODS We analyzed matched whole-transcriptome and DNA sequencing data from 2,430 patient samples (YOPC, n = 292; AOPC, n = 2,138) from the Caris Life Sciences database (Phoenix, AZ). Immune deconvolution was performed using the quanTIseq pipeline. Overall survival (OS) data were obtained from insurance claims (n = 4,928); Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated for age- and molecularly defined cohorts. Significance was determined as FDR-corrected P values (Q) < .05. RESULTS Patients with YOPC had higher proportions of mismatch repair–deficient/microsatellite instability-high, BRCA2-mutant, and PALB2-mutant tumors compared with patients with AOPC, but
