    Abstract: Although osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, its cell of origin and the genetic alterations are unclear. Previous studies have shown that serially introducing hTERT, SV40 large TAg, and H-Ras transforms human mesenchymal stem cells into two distinct sarcomas cell populations, but they do not form osteoid. In this study, β -catenin was introduced into mesenchymal stem cells already containing hTERT and SV40 large TAg to analyze if this resulted in a model which more closely recapitulated osteosarcoma. Results . Regardless of the level of induced β -catenin expression in the stable transfectants, there were no marked differences induced in their phenotype or invasion and migration capacity. Perhaps more importantly, none of them formed tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice. Moreover, the resulting transformed cells could be induced to osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation but not to adipogenic differentiation. Conclusions . β -catenin, although fostering osteogenic differentiation, does not induce the malignant features and tumorigenicity conveyed by oncogenic H-RAS when introduced into partly transformed mesenchymal stem cells. This may have implications for the role of β -catenin in osteosarcoma pathogenesis. It also may suggest that adipogenesis is an earlier branch point than osteogenesis and chondrogenesis in normal mesenchymal differentiation.

    Abstract: Purpose: Identifying novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of childhood cancers requires preclinical models that recapitulate the molecular characteristics of their respective clinical histotypes. Experimental Design and Results: Here, we have applied Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2 profiling to an expanded panel of models in the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program. Profiling led to exclusion of two tumor lines that were of mouse origin and five osteosarcoma lines that did not cluster with human or xenograft osteosarcoma samples. We compared expression profiles of the remaining 87 models with profiles from 112 clinical samples representing the same histologies and show that model tumors cluster with the appropriate clinical histotype, once “immunosurveillance” genes (contributed by infiltrating immune cells in clinical samples) are eliminated from the analysis. Analysis of copy number alterations using the Affymetrix 100K single nucleotide polymorphism GeneChip showed that the models have similar copy number alterations to their clinical counterparts. Several consistent copy number changes not reported previously were found (e.g., gain at 22q11.21 that was observed in 5 of 7 glioblastoma samples, loss at 16q22.3 that was observed in 5 of 9 Ewing's sarcoma and 4 of 12 rhabdomyosarcoma models, and amplification of 21q22.3 that was observed in 5 of 7 osteosarcoma models). We then asked whether changes in copy number were reflected by coordinate changes in gene expression. We identified 493 copy number–altered genes that are nonrandom and appear to identify histotype-specific programs of genetic alterations. Conclusions: These data indicate that the preclinical models accurately recapitulate expression profiles and genetic alterations common to childhood cancer, supporting their value in drug development.

    Abstract: The R2Pulm trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of busulfan-melphalan high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell rescue (BuMel) without whole-lung irradiation (WLI) on event-free survival (main end point) and overall survival, compared with standard chemotherapy with WLI in Ewing sarcoma (ES) presenting with pulmonary and/or pleural metastases. METHODS From 2000 to 2015, we enrolled patients younger than 50 years of age with newly diagnosed ES and with only pulmonary or pleural metastases. Patients received chemotherapy with six courses of vincristine, ifosfamide, doxorubicin, and etoposide (VIDE) and one course of vincristine, dactinomycin, and ifosfamide (VAI) before either BuMel or seven courses of VAI and WLI (VAI plus WLI) by randomized assignment. The analysis was conducted as intention to treat. The estimates of the hazard ratio (HR), 95% CI, and P value were corrected for the three previous interim analyses by the inverse normal method. RESULTS Of 543 potentially eligible patients, 287 were randomly assigned to VAI plus WLI (n = 143) or BuMel (n = 144). Selected patients requiring radiotherapy to an axial primary site were excluded from randomization to avoid excess organ toxicity from interaction between radiotherapy and busulfan. Median follow-up was 8.1 years. We did not observe any significant difference in survival outcomes between treatment groups. Event-free survival was 50.6% versus 56.6% at 3 years and 43.1% versus 52.9% at 8 years, for VAI plus WLI and BuMel patients, respectively, resulting in an HR of 0.79 (95% CI, 0.56 to 1.10; P = .16). For overall survival, the HR was 1.00 (95% CI, 0.70 to 1.44; P = .99). Four patients died as a result of BuMel-related toxicity, and none died after VAI plus WLI. Significantly more patients in the BuMel arm experienced severe acute toxicities than in the VAI plus WLI arm. CONCLUSION In ES with pulmonary or pleural metastases, there is no clear benefit from BuMel compared with conventional VAI plus WLI.

    Abstract: Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned coprimary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical trial updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported. Long-term outcomes from Children's Oncology Group study AEWS0031 were assessed to determine whether the survival advantage of interval-compressed chemotherapy (ICC) was maintained over 10 years in patients with localized Ewing sarcoma (ES). AEWS0031 enrolled 568 eligible patients. Patients were randomly assigned to receive vincristine-doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide-etoposide alternating once every 3 weeks (standard timing chemotherapy [STC]) versus once every 2 weeks (ICC). For this updated report, one patient was excluded because of uncertainty of original diagnosis. The 10-year event-free survival (EFS) was 70% with ICC compared with 61% with STC ( P = .03), and 10-year overall survival (OS) was 76% with ICC compared with 69% with STC ( P = .04). There was no difference in the 10-year cumulative incidence of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs; P C [see Data Supplement, online only] = .5). A test for interaction demonstrated that ICC provided greater risk reduction for patients with tumor volume ≥200 mL than for patients with tumors 〈 200 mL, but no evidence for a significant interaction in other subgroups defined by age, primary site, and histologic response. With longer-term follow-up, ICC for localized ES is associated with superior EFS and OS without an increased risk for SMN compared with STC. ICC is associated with improved outcomes even in adverse-risk patient groups.

    Abstract: Traditional approaches to evaluating antitumor agents using human tumor xenograft models have generally used cohorts of 8 to 10 mice against a limited panel of tumor models. An alternative approach is to use fewer animals per tumor line, allowing a greater number of models that capture greater molecular/genetic heterogeneity of the cancer type. We retrospectively analyzed 67 agents evaluated by the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program to determine whether a single mouse, chosen randomly from each group of a study, predicted the median response for groups of mice using 83 xenograft models. The individual tumor response from a randomly chosen mouse was compared with the group median response using established response criteria. A total of 2,134 comparisons were made. The single tumor response accurately predicted the group median response in 1,604 comparisons (75.16%). The mean tumor response correct prediction rate for 1,000 single mouse random samples was 78.09%. Models had a range for correct prediction (60%–87.5%). Allowing for misprediction of ± one response category, the overall mean correct single mouse prediction rate was 95.28%, and predicted overall objective response rates for group data in 66 of 67 drug studies. For molecularly targeted agents, occasional exceptional responder models were identified and the activity of that agent confirmed in additional models with the same genotype. Assuming that large treatment effects are targeted, this alternate experimental design has similar predictive value as traditional approaches, allowing for far greater numbers of models to be used that more fully encompass the heterogeneity of disease types.

    Abstract: Purpose: Flow cytometry and RT-PCR can detect occult Ewing sarcoma cells in the blood and bone marrow. These techniques were used to evaluate the prognostic significance of micrometastatic disease in Ewing sarcoma. Experimental Design: Newly diagnosed patients with Ewing sarcoma were enrolled on two prospective multicenter studies. In the flow cytometry cohort, patients were defined as “positive” for bone marrow micrometastatic disease if their CD99+/CD45− values were above the upper limit in 22 control patients. In the PCR cohort, RT-PCR on blood or bone marrow samples classified the patients as “positive” or “negative” for EWSR1/FLI1 translocations. The association between micrometastatic disease burden with clinical features and outcome was assessed. Coexpression of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) on detected tumor cells was performed in a subset of flow cytometry samples. Results: The median total bone marrow CD99+CD45− percent was 0.0012% (range 0%–1.10%) in the flow cytometry cohort, with 14 of 109 (12.8%) of Ewing sarcoma patients defined as “positive.” In the PCR cohort, 19.6% (44/225) patients were “positive” for any EWSR1/FLI1 translocation in blood or bone marrow. There were no differences in baseline clinical features or event-free or overall survival between patients classified as “positive” versus “negative” by either method. CD99+CD45− cells had significantly higher IGF-1R expression compared with CD45+ hematopoietic cells (mean geometric mean fluorescence intensity 982.7 vs. 190.9; P & lt; 0.001). Conclusions: The detection of micrometastatic disease at initial diagnosis by flow cytometry or RT-PCR is not associated with outcome in newly diagnosed patients with Ewing sarcoma. Flow cytometry provides a tool to characterize occult micrometastatic tumor cells for proteins of interest. Clin Cancer Res; 22(14); 3643–50. ©2016 AACR.

    Abstract: Background: Selinexor (KPT-330) is an inhibitor of the major nuclear export receptor, exportin 1 (XPO1, also termed chromosome region maintenance 1 or CRM1) that has demonstrated activity in preclinical models of several solid and hematological cancers. Procedures: Selinexor was tested against the PPTP in vivo xenograft panels administered orally at a dose of 10 mg/kg (3 times per week) for 4 weeks. For collection of specimens for pharmacodynamic testing, KT-10 tumors that regressed rapidly after treatment with selinexor were harvested 24 hours after a single dose of drug (10 mg/kg). Other, less responsive tumors, were harvested 2 hours after dose 6 (MWF dosing) at 10 mg/kg/dose. Immunoblots were probed for p53, p21, PARP and cleaved PARP and XPO1/CRM1. IHC analysis was performed for a comparable set of proteins to assess nuclear localization. For exome sequencing, all mutations were verified and assessed as somatic using a virtual normal subtraction algorithm. Results: Objective responses (CRs) to selinexor were observed for 3 of 38 solid tumor xenografts including Wilms tumor (KT-10), medulloblastoma (BT-50) and ependymoma (BT-41) xenografts. For the ALL panel, 2 of 8 (25%) xenografts achieved either CR or MCR (ALL-8 and ALL-19). The mutation profiles for models with objective responses for which exome sequencing data were available (KT-10, BT-50, ALL-8 and ALL-19) were examined. The only recurring mutation was for FBXW7, with known oncogenic mutations identified for both BT-50 (R465H) and ALL-8 (R465C). One additional tested xenograft (ALL-31) had an FBXW7 mutation, but it was in the N-terminal region in the nuclear localization signal domain (c.45_46insCCT; p.15_16TR & gt;TLR). KT-10 has a PALB2 mutation that leads to defective homologous recombination and to sensitivity to PARP inhibition. Selinexor induced a robust increase in p53 in KT-10 xenografts with PUMA induction and cleavage of PARP that was apparent after the first dose of drug, consistent with the rapid response of this tumor to treatment. Models that showed growth delay rather than regression showed a lesser induction of p53 and showed increased nuclear localization of a number of proteins (e.g., FOXO1, NFκB, and p53). Conclusions: Selinexor induced regression against several solid tumor and ALL xenografts, and slowed tumor growth for a larger number of models. Pharmacodynamic effects expected for XPO1 inhibition were noted in models without regard to tumor regression, although p53 induction was most robust in a highly sensitive Wilms tumor model. Exome sequencing identified potential genomic alterations (FBXW7 mutation and mutation in a homologous recombination gene) associated with sensitivity that require validation in a larger, independent set of tumors.

    Abstract: The NCI Pediatric Preclinical Testing Consortium (PPTC) has established panels of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) and cell lines of pediatric cancers for preclinical testing. We performed a systematic analysis of in vivo testing results from 2015-2018 to re-evaluate the number of mice needed for testing. Data were compiled from experiments performed on 30 anti-cancer agents; each agent was tested against 1 to 31 PDXs (median, 9) from a consortium-wide panel of 112 PDXs. We evaluated time-to-event across control mice, with “event” defined as quadrupling of tumor volume in solid tumors, mice becoming moribund or severely neurologically deficient in brain tumors, and hCD45+ & gt; 25% or other leukemic event for leukemia. Observed median time-to-event and coefficient of variation (CV, standard deviation/mean) varied between PDXs. Overall, the median CV was 0.257 with an interquartile range of 0.172 to 0.363. We estimated the power to detect differential time-to-event across a range of parameters observed historically. We modeled time-to-event under two scenarios: a right-skewed, heavy-tailed log-normal distribution, and a more symmetric and light-tailed gamma distribution. We also varied CV and treatment effect size (T/C, ratio of median time-to-event between treated and controls). The PPTC defines a median T/C of 2 or greater as growth delay; progressive disease with growth delay is the lowest objective response measure beyond that of controls. Differential time-to-event was evaluated using the Gehan-Wilcoxon test. The PPTC has generally used sample sizes of 8 or 10 mice per group. Under both the log-normal and gamma models, a sample size of 5 mice per group yielded ≥87% power to detect a T/C of 2 assuming a CV of 0.3; over 60% of tested PDXs have a CV lower than this. Table 1 summarizes our results across a subset of parameters used in our calculations. Our results suggest that for most PPTC PDXs, power for detecting major growth delay effects can be maintained while employing fewer mice than used previously.

    Abstract: Purpose: Inhibitors of PARP, an enzyme involved in base excision repair, have demonstrated single-agent activity against tumors deficient in homologous repair processes. Ewing sarcoma cells are also sensitive to PARP inhibitors, although the mechanism is not understood. Here, we evaluated the stereo-selective PARP inhibitor, talazoparib (BMN 673), combined with temozolomide or topotecan. Experimental Design: Talazoparib was tested in vitro in combination with temozolomide (0.3–1,000 μmol/L) or topotecan (0.03–100 nmol/L) and in vivo at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg administered twice daily for 5 days combined with temozolomide (30 mg/kg/daily x 5; combination A) or 0.25 mg/kg administered twice daily for 5 days combined with temozolomide (12 mg/kg/daily x 5; combination B). Pharmacodynamic studies were undertaken after 1 or 5 days of treatment. Results: In vitro talazoparib potentiated the toxicity of temozolomide up to 85-fold, with marked potentiation in Ewing sarcoma and leukemia lines (30–50-fold). There was less potentiation for topotecan. In vivo, talazoparib potentiated the toxicity of temozolomide, and combination A and combination B represent the MTDs when combined with low-dose or high-dose talazoparib, respectively. Both combinations demonstrated significant synergism against 5 of 10 Ewing sarcoma xenografts. The combination demonstrated modest activity against most other xenograft models. Pharmacodynamic studies showed a treatment-induced complete loss of PARP only in tumor models sensitive to either talazoparib alone or talazoparib plus temozolomide. Conclusions: The high level of activity observed for talazoparib plus temozolomide in Ewing sarcoma xenografts makes this an interesting combination to consider for pediatric evaluation.
