5546 Background: CHFR, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates Aurora A and Pololike Kinase 1, plays a critical role in the cellular response to mitotic stress. In particular, cells containing CHFR arrest in G2 when microtubule dynamics are disrupted. Conversely, low CHFR expression is associated with hypersensitivity to mitotic spindle poisons in breast cancer cell lines. Despite the extensive use of taxanes in front line treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), little is known about CHFR expression in this disease. We examined CHFR expression and its relationship with clinical characteristics and outcome in women with EOC. Methods: Pretreatment EOC samples from women enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Biospecimen Resource for Ovarian Cancer Research who underwent initial surgical debulking between 1999-2009 were stained in triplicate with anti-CHFR antibodies. Samples were scored in a blinded fashion for CHFR expression. Associations between CHFR staining and histology, grade, and stage were assessed using chi-squared tests; associations between CHFR and overall survival (OS) or time to disease recurrence (TTR) were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Samples from 354 women were stained; median age at diagnosis was 60.5 (range 21-93). At a median follow-up of 67 months, 221 women (62%) had died. Across all patients, moderate/strong CHFR staining was associated with poor OS (HR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.07-1.81, p = 0.015). Moreover, moderate/strong CHFR expression was strongly associated with serous histology (p < 0.0001), high grade (p < 0.0001) and advanced stage (p = 0.0002). To assess whether the association between CHFR expression and OS was related to taxane sensitivity, a subgroup analysis was performed in the subset of patients (N=131) with high-grade serous EOC who received initial platinum/taxane chemotherapy. Moderate/strong CHFR expression failed to correlate with OS (HR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.57-1.45, p = 0.68) or TTR from the start of chemotherapy (HR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.55-1.31, p = 0.55) in this subset. Conclusions: CHFR expression is associated with poor OS and adverse clinical characteristics in patients with EOC but does not appear to be related to taxane sensitivity in high-grade serous tumors.

2562 Background: Empiric chemotherapy (taxane/platinum) is standard for CUP. Because prognosis is poor, novel approaches are needed. The PI3K/mTOR pathway is frequently dysregulated in cancer. Everolimus (E), an mTOR inhibitor, is approved for multiple malignancies. We performed a phase II study of Pac + Carb + E as first-line therapy in metastatic CUP patients (pts). We additionally determined if a gene expression profiling (GEP) test that identifies tissue of origin (Pathwork Tissue of Origin) could identify responsive pts. (NCT00936702) Methods: Newly diagnosed, untreated CUP pts were eligible. Central pathology review confirmed CUP prior to registration; GEP was performed on formalin fixed tumor tissue. Pac (200 mg/m2), Carb (AUC=6) and E (30 mg once weekly) were delivered every 3 wks until progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The primary endpoint was confirmed response, with ≥11 of 50 responses (22%) needed for trial success. Secondary endpoints were OS, progression-free survival (PFS) and AEs. Results: 46 pts (median age 61) received a median 4 cycles (range: 1-33). 39 (85%), 21 (46%) and 1 (2%) experienced ≥1 grade (gr) 3+, 4+, or 5 (sepsis) AE, with gr 3+ hematologic AE most common (74%). Of 44 evaluable pts, 15 had a confirmed response (RR 34%, 95% CI: 21-50%), with a median PFS and OS of 4.1 and 10.1 mos, respectively. Adequate tissue for GEP was available in 36 pts and predicted 10 different sites of origin. In pts with a predicted tissue of origin in which taxane/platinum is standardly used, higher RR and significantly longer PFS and OS were observed compared with pts whose GEP identified a malignancy where taxane/platinum is not standard (Table). Conclusions: In pts with untreated CUP, Carb +Pac +E demonstrated promising antitumor activity. The GEP test identified patients clinically responsive to Carb/Pac/E therapy, and may be useful to select CUP pts for specific antitumor regimens. Clinical trial information: NCT00936702.

504 Background: CYP2D6 genetic variants and concurrent administration of potent inhibitors (Inh) of the enzyme markedly reduce the plasma concentrations of endoxifen (Jin. JNCI 2005;97:30–9). We have shown that genetic variation in CYP2D6 is associated with a higher risk of relapse in Tam treated patients (pts) (Goetz. JCO 2005;23:9312–18), but the impact of CYP2D6 inhibition on Tam clinical outcome is unknown. Methods: Using the North Central Cancer Treatment Group 89–30–52 adjuvant Tam trial (1989–1994), we evaluated the effect of co-administration of CYP2D6 Inh and CYP2D6*4 genotype on relapse in pts receiving tam alone. Patient charts were reviewed at each randomizing site to record the following known CYP2D6 Inh: fluoxetine (F), paroxetine (P), sertraline (S), cimetidine (C), amiodarone (A), doxepin (D), ticlopidine (T) and haloperidol (H). Poor metabolizers (PM) were defined as pts who were CYP2D6 *4/*4 and/or known to receive a CYP2D6 Inh. Intermediate metabolizers (IM) were defined as WT/*4 without CYP2D6 Inh, and extensive metabolizers (EM) as WT/WT without CYP2D6 Inh. The association between CYP2D6 status and Tam clinical outcome was determined using the log-rank test. Multivariate Cox modeling was performed using traditional prognostic factors. Results: CYP2D6*4 genotype was obtained in 190 of 256 eligible pts, with a CYP2D6*4/*4 genotype frequency of 6.8% as described previously (Goetz JCO 2005). Medication history was available in 171/256 eligible pts and in 143/190 pts with CYP2D6 genotype. Eleven of 173 patients were concomitantly administered these CYP2D6 Inh: F(2), P(2), S(2), H(1), C(4), and D(1). The median duration of use was 2.5 yrs. Twenty-four pts met criteria for PM [13 by *4/*4 genotype and 11 by CYP2D6 Inh (7 WT/WT, 1 WT/*4, and 3 unknown genotype)], 21 for IM, and 102 for EM. Compared with either IM or EM, PMs had significantly worse time to recurrence and disease free survival in both the univariate (HR 2.5, p=0.02; and 2.2, p=0.01) and multivariate (HR 2.7, p=0.01; and HR 2.2 p=.02) analyses utilizing tumor size, nodal status, and tumor grade. Conclusion: Our data indicate that CYP2D6 status can be used to identify pts who should receive tam therapy and tam treated pts should not be co-administered potent CYP2D6 inhibitors. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this analysis was to determine the cost‐effectiveness of a Collaborative Care Model (CCM)‐based, centralized telecare approach to delivering rehabilitation services to late‐stage cancer patients experiencing functional limitations.MethodsData for this analysis came from the Collaborative Care to Preserve Performance in Cancer (COPE) trial, a randomized control trial of 516 patients assigned to: (a) a control group (arm A), (b) tele‐rehabilitation (arm B), and (c) tele‐rehabilitation plus pharmacological pain management (arm C). Patient quality of life was measured using the EQ‐5D‐3L at baseline, 3‐month, and 6‐month follow‐up. Direct intervention costs were measured from the experience of the trial. Participants’ hospitalization data were obtained from their medical records, and costs associated with these encounters were estimated from unit cost data and hospital‐associated utilization information found in the literature. A secondary analysis of total utilization costs was conducted for the subset of COPE trial patients for whom comprehensive cost capture was possible.ResultsIn the intervention‐only model, tele‐rehabilitation (arm B) was found to be the dominant strategy, with an incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $15 494/QALY. At the $100 000 willingness‐to‐pay threshold, this tele‐rehabilitation was the cost‐effective strategy in 95.4% of simulations. It was found to be cost saving compared to enhanced usual care once the downstream hospitalization costs were taken into account. In the total cost analysis, total inpatient hospitalization costs were significantly lower in both tele‐rehabilitation (arm B) and tele‐rehabilitation plus pain management (arm C) compared to control (arm A), (P = .048).ConclusionThe delivery of a CCM‐based, centralized tele‐rehabilitation intervention to patients with advanced stage cancer is highly cost‐effective. Clinicians and care teams working with this vulnerable population should consider incorporating such interventions into their patient care plans.

Abstract Background: Macrophages are well-established components of the inflammatory repertoire in breast cancer (BC) progression. The role of macrophages in early breast carcinogenesis is less understood. Macrophages adopt microenvironment-driven pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotypes. We evaluated macrophagic subsets in benign breast stroma to evaluate their association with future or concurrent BC. Methods: With institutional approval, FFPE tissues were identified from age-matched subjects, [with index benign breast biopsies and (a subset) interval-matched second benign tissues taken at the time of one of three events: ER+ BC, ER- BC or no cancer event (Controls) (index N=32, 26 and 30 respectively)]. Tissues were immunostained (CD68 or CD163) and stromal CD68+ and CD163+ macrophagic cell densities (MCD) (cells/mm2 stromal fibroadipose area) were digitally quantified. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests for univariate analysis and conditional logistic regression models to adjust for BMI. Results: In the index age-matched biopsies (median age 54y), within subjects in all groups, the median CD163+ MCD (54.5; range: 13.9-371.3) was significantly higher than CD68+ MCD (19.6, range: 3.5-78.5) but the two were strongly correlated (r = 0.76); neither correlated with BMI (r&lt; 0.1 each). Across the groups, index benign biopsies of ER- BC had significantly lower CD68+ MCD and CD163+ MCD compared to ER+ BC (CD163: median 47.2 vs. 57.8, p=0.004; and median CD68+ MCD: 15.8 vs. 29.7, p=0.03); and ER- BC had significantly lower CD163+ MCD density than Controls (p=0.02), (all by univariate analysis and after adjusting for BMI). Comparing the index biopsy and second biopsy/excision within subjects, all showed significant increases in CD68+ MCD (median increase 27.9 for ER- BC, 16.1 for ER+ BC, and 17.8 for controls, p&lt;0.01), and only ER-BC showed an increase in CD163+ MCD (median increase 26.6, p=0.01). Thus, in the second biopsies/excisions, the CD163+ MCD and CD68+ MCD were similar across groups (median CD163+ MCD: 69.3, 75.4, and 59.3 and median CD68+ MCD: 47.4, 45.2, and 36.0 for ER+ BC, ER- BC, and controls); however, all groups had decreased CD163+:CD68+ MCD ratios compared to the index biopsies. Conclusion: Benign breast tissues have higher stromal CD163+ MCD than CD68+ MCD irrespective of future BC events and independent of BMI. However, between index and second biopsies/excisions, the stromal CD68+ MCD differentially increased in all groups, lowering CD163+:CD68+ MCD ratios, and likely shifting pro- and anti-inflammatory stromal macrophage functionality. Across groups, ER- BC index biopsies had significantly lower stromal MCD of both types compared to ER+ BC, and were the only group to increase stromal CD163+ MCD between index biopsy and cancer event. These data suggest that ER+ and ER- BC may have different pre-carcinogenic stromal inflammatory microenvironments. Citation Format: Jodi M. Carter, Ethan P. Heinzen, Tanya L. Hoskin, Stacey J.

Background: Revision total hip arthroplasty (revision THA) occurs for a wide variety of indications and in the United States it is coded under Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) 466, 467, and 468, which do not account for revision etiology, a potentially substantial driver of cost. This study investigates revision THA costs and 30-day complications by indication, both locally and nationally. Methods: Hospitalization costs and complication rates for 1,422 aseptic revision THAs performed at a high-volume center between 2009 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Additionally, charges for 28,133 revision THAs in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) were converted to costs using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project cost-to-charge ratios, and 30-day complication rates for 3,224 revision THAs were obtained with use of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). Costs and complications were compared between revision THAs performed for fracture, wear/loosening, and dislocation/instability with use of simultaneous and pairwise comparisons and a multivariable model accounting for American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, age, and sex. Results: Local hospitalization costs for fracture (median, $25,672) were significantly higher than those for wear/loosening ($20,228; p < 0.001) or dislocation/instability ($17,911; p < 0.001), with differences remaining significant even after adjusting for patient comorbidities (p < 0.001). NIS costs for fracture (median, $27,596) were higher than those for other aseptic indications (wear/loosening: $21,176, p < 0.001; dislocation/instability: $16,891, p< 0.001). Local 30-day orthopaedic complication rates for fracture (20.7%) were higher those than for dislocation/instability (9.0%; p = 0.007) and similar to those for wear/loosening (17.6%; p = 0.434). Nationally, combined medical and surgical complication rates for fracture (71.3% of patients with ≥1 complication) were significantly higher than those for wear/loosening (35.2%; p < 0.001) or dislocation/instability (35.1%; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Hospitalization costs for revision THA for fracture were 33% to 48% higher than for all other aseptic revision THAs, both locally and nationally. This increased cost persisted even after multivariable comorbidity adjustment, the current DRG basis for stratifying revision THA reimbursement. Additionally, 30-day complication rates suggest that increased resource utilization for fracture patients continues even after discharge. Indication-specific coding and reimbursement systems are necessary to maintain sustainable access to revision THA for all patients. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level III .

Abstract Background: Despite a paucity of data on the benign breast transcriptome, reduction mammoplasty tissue is commonly used as a control for RNA biomarker discovery in breast cancer (BC). We evaluated the transcriptome of benign breast to characterize pre-menopausal and post-menopausal coding and non-coding RNA profiles. These profiles will provide insight into the metabolic landscape of benign breast and inform transcriptomic studies of BC and peri-tumoral microenvironments. Methods: With institutional approval, cryobanked fresh breast tissues from reduction mammoplasties (age 15-62y; follow-up: 4-10 y with no cancer events), with histologically-confirmed benign tissues with similar epithelial: stromal tissues were grouped into 4 age sets (&lt; 30y, N=10; 30-39y, N=11; 40-49y, N=10; ≥50y (clinically post-menopausal), N=10). Following RNA extraction, library preparation (Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA kit), and sequencing (Illumina HiSeq 4000), reads were processed (MAP-RSeq v3.0.0) and aligned (STAR aligner; hg38). Differential expression (DE) analysis (edgeR 2.6.2) identified DE genes from normalized RPKM reads (absolute log2 fold change (FC) &gt; 1 and false discovery rate (FDR) &lt; 0.10), corrected for intra-group biases using medians (absolute FC cut-off of &gt;1.5). Over-representation analysis [Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA), Ingenuity® Systems] and gene set enrichment analysis [(GSEA), GeneTrail 2.0] identified significantly-enriched pathways. Results: Across the 4 age sets, 561 DE genes were identified. Compared to the post-menopausal (PM) set, the number of DE genes was highest in &lt;30 y set (N= 372) and decreased with increasing age (N= 170, age 30-39 set and N=20, age 40-49 set), generating up-regulated (PMup) and down-regulated (PMdown) PM transcriptomic profiles. The top PMdown DE genes included RANKL, WNT4, MKI67, extracellular matrix, and lactation-related genes (lactoferrin ,MUC4, MUC16, p &lt; 0.01). Top PMdown canonical pathways were cell cycle-related (CDK1, CCNA2, CCNB2, ESPL1, TOP2A)(p&lt; 0.001). Top PMup genes included those involved in adipogenesis, NPY1R, NPY2R, unsaturated fatty acid synthesis and eicosanoid signaling (P&lt; 0.001). Top PMup canonical pathways included acyl co-A hydrolysis, stearate biosynthesis, acute phase response and RXR signaling (P &lt; 0.001). GSEA of the entire gene set (N=15,466; ranked in order of 561 DE genes) identified 16 significant pathways, functionally grouped as mitochondrial energy metabolism, proteasome, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and signaling (PPAR pathway). While coding RNAs comprised 85% of DE transcripts, lncRNA comprised ˜5%. Top DE lncRNAs and precursor miRNAs included MEG3, a tumor suppressor, LIN00092, miR22 and miR1182 (p &lt; 0.0001). Conclusions: Pre and post-menopausal benign breast tissues have distinctive transcriptomic profiles. PM benign breast has down-regulated proliferation/cell-cycle-related pathways, and up-regulated genes in mitochondrial energy pathways, lipogenesis and inflammatory pathways. Notably, many of the top DE coding and non-coding RNAs in PM benign breast have been implicated in BC progression, highlighting their value in better understanding breast carcinogenesis and the need to characterize their functional roles in normal aging and menopause.

Abstract Background: Differences in ER+ and ER- breast cancer tumor biology are well-documented, but little is known about the field of background benign breast in which those cancers arise. We evaluated the transcriptome of benign breast tissues from women with concurrent ipsilateral ER+ and ER- breast cancers (BC) to characterize coding and non-coding RNA profiles. This pilot study provides insight into the transcriptomic landscapes of benign breast tissues in patients with BC, and the microenvironment of the at-risk benign tissue. Methods: With institutional approval, cryobanked breast tissues from patients with concurrent ipsilateral ER+ BC (benign ER+BC, N=14) or ER- BC (benign ER-BC, N=10), were selected for benign tissues with similar epithelial:stromal ratios and grouped into pre (preM) and post-menopausal (PM) groups. Following RNA sequencing (Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA kit & Illumina HiSeq 4000), reads were processed (MAP-RSeq v3.0.0) and aligned (STAR aligner; hg38). Differential expression (DE) analysis (edgeR 2.6.2) identified DE genes from normalized RPKM reads (absolute log2 fold change (FC) &gt; 1 and false discovery rate (FDR) &lt; 0.10), corrected for intra-group biases. Over-representation analysis [Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA), Ingenuity® Systems] and gene set enrichment analysis [(GSEA), GeneTrail 2.0] identified significantly-enriched pathways. Results: In the PM group, there were 144 DE transcripts between benign ER+BC and benign ER-BC, including coding RNAs (40%), antisense RNAs (35%) and lncRNAs (7%). In contrast, the preM group had no significantly DE genes between benign ER+BC and benign ER-BC. In the PM DE coding gene set, the top DE transcripts in benign ER+BC included many genes implicated in BC development# or ER+ BC progression (*) (e.g. up-regulated: KAAG1*, DNAJB7/HSP40*, TMEM151B, ZBTB32# p &lt; 0.001 ; down-regulated: CPB1*, FOS, TPPP3#, CLEC3B#p &lt; 0.001). Top canonical pathways altered in benign ER+BC included MAPK, PI3K, and acute phase response pathways (p&lt;0.05). GSEA of the entire gene set (N=15,223; ranked in order of 144 DE genes) identified 72 altered pathways (P &lt; 0.005); those with the highest normalization enrichment scores (NES) (&gt; 0.4) functionally grouped as immune function-related (T cell function and antigen presentation). Depleted pathways with NES &gt; 0.4, (N=6) functionally grouped into proteasome-related, fatty acid biosynthesis and mitochondrial energy metabolism. Among the non-coding DE gene set, notably, the entire DE antisense RNA gene set (N=51 transcripts) was up-regulated in benign ER+ BC compared to benign ER-BC (P&lt; 0.001) with a subset (N=11) showing marked up-regulation (&gt; 4 log2FC). Among the DE antisense RNAs, 70% have reported roles in carcinogenesis or BC progression (e.g. KRT7-AS, NAV2-AS2, CCDC144NL-AS1, RP11-66B24.4, HSA-MIR4454). Conclusion: The benign breast transcriptome differs between postmenopausal women with ER+ vs ER- BC, with distinctive coding and non-coding RNA signatures. In postmenopausal women with ER+ BC, benign breast expresses a unique antisense RNA set and is enriched in genes implicated in BC development or progression. These data provide insight into at-risk benign breast and facilitate identification of potential biomarkers of carcinogenesis.

Abstract Background: The LAR subtype is a genomically distinct subset of TNBC. Using a large cohort of non-metastatic TNBC patients (pts) with long term follow-up, we sought to further characterize the clinicopathologic features and outcomes of LAR vs non-LAR TNBC. Methods: From a cohort of 9982 women with surgically-treated non-metastatic breast cancer, 605 met criteria for TNBC (ER/PR&lt;1% and HER2-negative) by central pathology. RNA extracted from 304 FFPE tumor specimens using the HighPure RNA extraction kit was subjected to TruSeq RNA Access library preparation and sequencing on a HiSeq2500. Adequate RNA was available for 283 pts. Tumors were classified as LAR or non-LAR using a shrunken centroid model, CABAL (Clustering Among BAsal and Luminal androgen receptor). In addition to previously described analyses [Leon-Ferre et al, Breast Cancer Res Treat 2017], immunohistochemical (IHC) androgen receptor (AR) staining was performed and the impact of various parameters on invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models. Results: 58 (20%) tumors were classified as LAR and 225 (80%) as non-LAR. Compared to non-LAR, LAR pts were older (mean age 65 vs 54) and more often postmenopausal (79%vs53%), both p=0.01. Apocrine histology was more common among LAR tumors (21%vs0%), which were also lower grade (grade3: 69%vs95%) and had lower Ki-67 (Ki-67&gt;15%: 64%vs82%), all p&lt;0.01. Additionally, LAR tumors had lower median stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs, 20%vs25%) and were less frequently lymphocyte-predominant [≥50% stromal or intratumoral TILs (19%vs32%)], although neither reached statistical significance. AR IHC was available for 223 of 283 tumors. Median AR IHC score in LAR was 65% (range 0-100%) vs 0% (range 0-90%) in non-LAR. T/N stage, surgery type, and receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy (AdjCT) or radiotherapy were similar between LAR and non-LAR. LAR pts had shorter IDFS and OS compared to non-LAR (5.6 vs 11.8 yrs and 10.8 vs 20.8 yrs, respectively), although this did not reach statistical significance. Test of proportional hazard assumption was not significant for IDFS or OS (p = 0.30 and 0.09). IDFS estimates were numerically higher in LAR vs non-LAR (80.2%vs70.5%,p = 0.92) at 3yrs post-diagnosis; whereas the opposite was true (40.9%vs55.6%,p = 0.07) after 10yrs. OS estimates at 3 and 5yrs were similar between LAR and non-LAR, but at 10yrs OS was inferior in LAR (40.9%vs66.4%,p = 0.24). In a univariate analysis including both LAR and non-LAR, older age, higher N stage, lower TILs and absence of AdjCT were associated with poorer IDFS and OS. In a multivariate analysis, higher N stage and absence of AdjCT remained associated with both poorer IDFS and OS; while lower stromal TILs were associated with poorer IDFS (p=0.01), and with a trend towards poorer OS (p=0.07). Conclusions: LAR TNBCs occurred in older women, were lower grade, and had lower TIL density than nonLAR tumors. While significant differences in IDFS or OS were not demonstrated, LAR pts exhibited a numerically lower risk of a disease event at 3yrs, but higher risk by 10yrs compared to nonLAR pts. In the entire cohort, higher N stage, absence of AdjCT and lower TILs were independently associated with poorer outcomes.
