  1. Mapping cancer specific drug-gene interactions EMBL Wolfgang Huber Computational Biology Thorsten Zenz Lymphoproliferative disease DKFZ, Univ. Clinic Heidelberg

  2. Genomics of drug sensitivity: drug screens in pan-cancer cell line panels • Garnett et al.: Systematic identification of genomic markers of drug sensitivity in cancer cells. Nature 2012 • Barretina et al. 2012: The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia enables predictive modelling of anticancer drug sensitivity. Nature 2012 • Basu et al.: An Interactive Resource to Identify Cancer Genetic and Lineage Dependencies Targeted by Small Molecules. Cell 2013

  3. Challenges to translation • Rare diseases with diverse biology • chronic lymphoid leukemias, lymphomas: • (e.g. T-PLL, LPL, MZL, MCL, refr. CLL, B-PLL, Sezary syndrome) • Lack of reliable cell line models • Lacking standard of care • Limited understanding of biology • Limited targeted treatment

  4. Genomics of drug sensitivity: primary lymphoproliferative disease Exome-seq, RNA-seq, 450k methylation, copy number analysis (SNParray) Small molecule library Automated seeding of cells Measurement of ATP-levels etc. Thorsten Zenz, Leo Sellner, NCT

  5. Key questions • Which drugs / patient-derived tumours exhibit variable drug sensitivity? • Which somatic mutations / other molecular features are associated with these differences? • Which biological mechanisms underlie these relationships? • How can we predict sensitivities? (multivariate modelling) • Innovative therapeutic approaches (single drugs, combinations) • Serve as a model for other tumour entities

  6. Tumour specific patterns of drug response drugs primary tumour samples Leo Sellner L. Sellner

  7. Clustering of drugs reflects mechanism of action drug-drug correlation matrix Fludarabine Nutlin-3 Everolimus Deferolimus Kinase inhibitors: SaracatinibPKI−402DasatinibSelumetinibTipifarnib…

  8. Clustering of patients according to drug response Decreased sensitivity towards kinase inhibition Patients Compounds Increased sensitivity towards kinase inhibition Red: more sensitivity Blue: less sensitivity M. Oles

  9. p53 mutation in CLL T. Zenz et al., Blood (2008) Sellner, Oles, et al. unpublished

  10. Interfering with the MDM2/p53 interaction in CLL TP53-deleted CLL patient samples are less susceptible to Nutlin-3 inhibition Sellner unpublished

  11. Understanding sensitivity: p53 Why are these patients less sensitive? Clone size 3-10% No 17p-

  12. Atlas of drug sensitivity in CLL • Custom “pilot” library (67 substances) • Drugs in clinical use • Key CLL/cancer pathway inhibitors • Hits from CLL drug screens • 111 patients’ tumours screened • Prestwick Library: 1120 FDA-approved drugs • Quick clinical translation • 20 patients screened • NIH Phase I-III Library: 731 compounds • Main targets known, toxicity data • 20 patients screened • GSK Kinase Library: 367 small molecules • Well characterized targets (220 kinase assays) • 20 patients screened

  13. CLL – EMBL screen, one tumour

  14. High quality screening data(2.6k compounds, 20 patients) Screening window - positive & negative controls Z’ = 0.84 18 Plates: T-PLL

  15. New options for genotype specific treatment of CLL Compound A 10µM Compound C 8µM p<0.05 p<0.01 Sellner unpublished

  16. Membrane-bound immunoglobulin Targeting Key Signaling Pathways in CLL GA101 B-cell receptor CD20 Fostamatinib GS-9973 Lyn PI3K/Akt pathway CD20 Syk Ibrutinib CC-292 Btk 571300080995 NF-κB pathway MAPK pathway Idelalisib IPI-145 TGR-1202 Bcl-2 ABT-199 Cell survival Normal B-cell activation and proliferation Malignant B-cell initiation and progression All are small molecule inhibitors except GA101, which is a monoclonal antibody Friedman and Weinberg. The Hematologist. 2013

  17. Genetic factors modulating response to B-cell receptor inhibition → ability to pick up subtle findings Similar to result of clinical trial: Byrd et al. NEJM 2013

  18. Summary • Unique opportunity to „solve“ diseases (CLL and others) • n ~ 35 with large library • n ~ 200 with selection library (CLL n=100-150. MCL, T-PLL, FL, LPL, B-PLL, Sezary syndrome n=10-20 each) • Cover biological heterogeneity • Understand outliers • Robust modelling of subtle smaller but significant differences (e.g. BCR) • Assay response after 48h dominated by major clone - clinical outcome often depends on subclasses • No stroma interactions (yet)
