MA12.11 - Analysis of Angiogenic and Stromal Biomarkers in a Large Malignant Mesothelioma Cohort (ID 12234)
11:40 - 11:45 | Presenting Author(s): Puey Ling Chia
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive malignancy of the pleura and other mesothelium membranes. Agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor such as bevacizumab; and multi-kinase inhibitors like nintedanib [angiokinase inhibitor of VEGF, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)] have recently demonstrated efficacy in MM. In the setting of these new therapies, it is important to evaluate angiogenic and stromal markers in MM to assess their associated prognostic implications.

Tissue microarrays (TMAs) were created from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples obtained from 326 patients who underwent surgical resection or biopsy for MM between 1988 and 2014. PDGF-CC, FGFR-1, VEGF and CD31 expression were analysed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. The H-score method assigned a score of 0–300 to each sample, based on the percentage of cells stained at different intensities. The discriminatory threshold was set for each IHC stain (usually the median score) and samples were classified as low (below median) or high expression (above median). CD31 was evaluated via Chalkley’s method to evaluate microvessel density. We evaluated the association between expression of the biomarkers, clinicopathological factors and outcomes, in patients with MM.

The histological subtypes comprised of 203/325 (62.5%) epithelioid; 72/325 (22.2%) biphasic; 42/325 (12.9%) sarcomatoid, or indeterminate. The median age was 67 (range 24-88) with Male: Female ratio of 266: 53.
CD31 high (≥5) was seen in only 31/302 (10.3%) irrespective of histology (13/31 (42%) epithelioid; 10/31 (32%) sarcomatoid; 7/31 (23%) biphasic; 1/31 indeterminate).
PDGF-CC high (≥150) was seen in 203/310 (65%) of all samples but was higher in epithelioid subtype [129/203 (64%)]. VEGF high (≥80) was seen in 219/322 (68%) of all MM with 143/209 (68%) of epithelioid histology.
FGFR-1 high (≥40) was seen in 127/310 (41%) of all MM and 73/127 (57.5%) are of epithelioid histology.
There was no association of VEGF and FGFR-1 IHC with survival nor differences between histological subtypes.
There was a non-significant trend towards poorer survival in epithelioid tumours with increased PDGF-CC expression (OS 18.5 vs 13.2 months; HR 0.7928; 95%CI 0.5958 to 1.055, P=0.1110).
High CD31 score was associated with significantly poorer survival (OS 12 vs 8.6 months; HR 0.48; 95%CI 0.2873 to 0.7941, P=0.0044). Of the 31 patients with high CD31 scores; 23/31 (74%) were also high for PDGF-CC and 20/31 (64%) with high VEGF scores.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
High PDGF-CC expression and CD31 scores are associated with poor survival in MM. Abrogating these pathways may have prognostic implications.

P2.06-08 - ABT-806 Derived Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) Inhibit Growth of Malignant Mesothelioma In-Vivo (ID 12233)
16:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Puey Ling Chia
- Abstract
Background
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive malignancy of the pleura with limited therapeutic options, and is associated with a poor prognosis. EGFR is known to be highly over-expressed in mesothelioma with reported EGFR overexpression between 44 to 97%.We have developed an anti-EGFR antibody (ABT-806), which is tumour specific and robustly inhibits EGFR-expressing tumours. We aimed to establish the validity and feasibility of targeting tumour expressed EGFR in MM using ABT-806 novel ADCs (ABT-414 and ABBV-221).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We evaluated EGFR and mAb 806 immunohistochemistry in 4 MM cell lines (MSTO-211H, NCI-H2052, NCI-H28, NCI-H2452) and performed in-vitro cell proliferation assays to evaluate the antineoplastic potential of mAb806-related ADCs. In-vivo therapeutic studies using the biphasic mesothelioma cell line (MSTO-211H) were conducted with treatment groups involving ABT-414, ABBV-221, ADC control, cisplatin chemotherapy. We also performed quantitative biodistribution and imaging of mAb806 ADC uptake (89Zr mAb806 ADC) to allow correlation of mAb806 ADC concentration in tumours.

mAb806 to be bound strongly to three of four MM cell lines (MSTO-211H, NCI-H2052 and NCI-H28). Cell proliferation assays (CPA) also demonstrated ABT-414 and ABBV- 221 had significant cell growth inhibition demonstrated in the range between 1 to 10ug/ml for MM cell lines. In MSTO211H xenograft model significant anti-tumour response to both ABT-414 and ABBV-221 (p<0.01), was demonstrated. High, specific targeting of 89Zr-ch806 to MM tumour in-vivo was also shown.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
ABT-806 ADCs show potent anti-tumour activity in MM model, and warrant further exploration as a potential therapy for MM.
