| Abstract: | PURPOSE Alterations in DNA damage response (DDR) genes, including ERCC2, have been correlated with response to neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The SWOG 1314 (S1314) trial enrolled patients with MIBC who received one of two NAC regimens followed by radical cystectomy. We examined the prevalence of DDR alterations in NAC responders versus nonresponders and correlated DDR alteration status with response. METHODS Pretreatment tumor specimens from 179 evaluable patients underwent next-generation sequencing (Memorial Sloan Kettering-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets assay). Associations were determined between any or only deleterious alterations within nine predefined DDR genes, or any alterations in ERCC2, and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival using Cox regression, and, in a subset of evaluable patients, pathologic response (complete response, pT0, or downstaging to <pT2) using logistic regression, adjusting for clinical stage and performance status. RESULTS Deleterious DDR alterations were detected in 41 (23%) of 179 patients. Of the 151 patients evaluable for pathologic response, patients with deleterious DDR alterations (n 5 39) demonstrated a higher pathologic response rate than those without (odds ratio [OR], 3.24 [95% CI, 1.51 to 6.94]; P 5 .003). In 24 ERCC2-mutant patients, the OR for pT0 was 3.33 (95% CI, 1.35 to 8.22; P 5 .009) and for <pT2 was 2.33 (95% CI, 0.92 to 5.89; P 5 .073). The association between deleterious DDR alterations and PFS provided an estimate of hazard ratio, 0.54 (95% CI, 0.29 to 1.01; P 5 .053). CONCLUSION Deleterious DDR alterations were associated with pathologic response following NAC in S1314. Functional validation of ERCC2 and other DDR alterations is underway to help refine such alterations as biomarkers of NAC in patients with bladder cancer. © 2024 by American Society of Clinical Oncology. |
