Article Title: Mutational signature 3 detected from clinical panel sequencing is associated with responses to olaparib in breast and ovarian cancers
Abstract: Purpose: The identification of patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) beyond BRCAJ/ 2 mutations is an urgent task, as they may benefit from PARP inhibitors. We have previously developed a method to detect mutational signa-ture 3 (Sig3), termed SigMA, associated with HRD from clinical panel sequencing data, that is able to reliably detect HRD from the limited sequencing data derived from gene-focused panel sequencing.Experimental Design: We apply this method to patients from two independent datasets: (i) high-grade serous ovarian cancer and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from a phase Ib trial of the PARP inhibitor olaparib in combination with the PI3K inhibitor buparlisib (BKM120; NCT01623349), and (ii) TNBC patients who received neoadjuvant olaparib in the phase II PETREMAC trial (NCT02624973).Results: We find that Sig3 as detected by SigMA is positively associated with improved progression-free survival and objective responses. In addition, comparison of Sig3 detection in panel and exome-sequencing data from the same patient samples demon-strated highly concordant results and superior performance in comparison with the genomic instability score.Conclusions: Our analyses demonstrate that HRD can be detected reliably from panel-sequencing data that are obtained as part of routine clinical care, and that this approach can identify patients beyond those with germline BRCAJ/2mut who might benefit from PARP inhibitors. Prospective clinical utility testing is warranted.
