Article Title: | Pharmacogenomic modeling of circulating tumor and invasive cells for prediction of chemotherapy response and resistance in pancreatic cancer |
Abstract: | Purpose: Despite a challenging prognosis, modern cytotoxic therapy can induce tumor responses and extend life in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Pharmacogenomic (PGx) modeling of tumor tissue can predict the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in preclinical cancer models. We hypothesized that PGx profiling of circulating tumor and invasive cells (CTIC) isolated from peripheral blood could predict tumor response, progression, and resistance. Experimental Design: A PGx model was created and validated in preclinical models. A prospective clinical trial was conducted. Fifty patients with advanced PDAC were enrolled. Before treatment, 10 mL of peripherally drawn blood was collected. CTICs isolated from this blood sample were expression profiled and the PGx model was used to predict effective and ineffective chemotherapeutic agents. The treating physicians were blinded to PGx prediction. Results: We found that CTICs could be reliably isolated, total RNA extracted and profiled from 10 mL of peripheral blood from patients with unresectable PDAC before chemotherapy treatment and at disease progression. Using previously created PGx models to predict chemotherapy sensitivity, we found that clinical benefit was seen for study participants treated with chemotherapy regimens predicted to be effective versus chemotherapy regimens predicted to be ineffective with regard to progression-free (10.4 mo vs. 3.6 mo; P < 0.0001; HR, 0.14) and overall survival (17.2 mo vs. 8.3 mo; P < 0.0249; HR, 0.29). Conclusions: These findings suggest that PGx profiling of CTICs can predict treatment response. |
