The impact of EGFR subtype combined with TP53 co-mutation status on survival outcomes with front-line osimertinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Osimertinib is a standard therapy for EGFR-mutant NSCLC. However, markers to better identify those at risk for poor outcomes are needed. This is the largest study to date evaluating the impact of EGFR subtype combined with TP53 co-mutation status on survival endpoints with front-line osimertinib. METHODS: Patients from a U.S. clinical-genomic database with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC receiving front-line osimertinib were studied. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using Kaplan-Meier methods, and multivariable Cox regression compared outcomes after accounting for relevant clinical covariates. RESULTS: Of 606 patients, 277 (46%) had EGFR L858R, 384 (63%) had TP53 co-mutations, and 186 (30.7%) had both. Bearing L858R vs. exon 19 deletions (rwPFS: hazard ratio [HR] 1.4, P&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.001; OS: HR 1.3, P&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.01) or a TP53 co-mutation vs. wildtype (rwPFS: HR 1.5, P&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.001; OS: HR 1.6, P&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.001) predicted inferior outcomes. Especially short median rwPFS (10.1 vs. 21.4&#xa0;months, HR 2.2, P&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.001) and OS (21.3 vs. 53.4&#xa0;months, HR 2.3, P&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.001) were observed in patients with both markers (L858R/TP53-mutant) as compared to neither (exon 19 deletion/TP53-wildtype). CONCLUSIONS: Having EGFR L858R or a TP53 co-mutation were independent predictors of inferior rwPFS and OS with front-line osimertinib. Patients with both unfavorable alterations had the shortest survival. Risk stratifying using a combination of these markers can assist in identifying patients for novel trials or approved intensified therapies.

Global Genomic Surveillance.

Global genomic surveillance has emerged as a foundational pillar of public health in the twenty-first century, enabling real-time tracking of pathogen evolution and informing outbreak response. This chapter examines the strategic architecture of global genomic surveillance, focusing on its application to arboviruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It explores the integration of genomic data with epidemiological, clinical, and environmental information within a One Health framework, while addressing critical challenges in governance, equity, and interoperability. The discussion covers the entire genomic surveillance workflow, from sample collection and sequencing to bioinformatic analysis and phylogenetic inference, and highlights the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in predictive surveillance. By analyzing global initiatives, operational barriers, and emerging technologies, this chapter underscores the necessity of sustainable, equitable, and interoperable genomic systems to proactively address current and future infectious disease threats.

Systematic Dissection of Key Driver Perturbation Signatures in Single Cells via ECCITE-seq.

CRISPR screens, such as expanded CRISPR-compatible cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (ECCITE-seq), enable the simultaneous measurement of transcriptomes, gRNA identity, and cell-surface protein expression at single-cell resolution to systematically interrogate gene function. This platform provides a powerful and scalable experimental approach for validating disease-associated regulators identified by large-scale association studies and other computational methods, including network-based analyses of multi-omics data. Here, as an example application, we describe an ECCITE-seq framework to characterize the transcriptomic consequences of perturbing multiple neuronal key driver genes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons. More broadly, by integrating customized pooled gRNA libraries with different CRISPR effectors across multiple cell types, this approach allows for the assessment of the regulatory impact of candidate genes implicated in development and disease processes.

Identification of Genome-Wide Chromatin Structural Aberration in Cancer by Hi-C Analysis.

Aberrant three-dimensional genome organization is a hallmark of cancer, often driving oncogene activation through mechanisms such as enhancer hijacking. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) maps these interactions on a genome-wide scale. Unlike earlier dilution-based methods, in situ Hi-C performs proximity ligation within intact nuclei, minimizing random ligation noise and enabling fine-scale structure detection. This chapter describes an optimized in situ Hi-C protocol tailored for cancer cell lines using MboI digestion and biotin-mediated pull-down to generate high-complexity libraries. We further outline a computational workflow that extends beyond standard topological mapping of compartments and topologically associating domains to identify cancer-specific aberrations. Specifically, we focus on detecting chromosomal rearrangements (structural variants) and characterizing the distinct circular topology of extrachromosomal DNA. This integrated experimental and analytical framework provides the necessary tools to dissect the spatial dysregulation underlying tumor evolution.
