Abstract Background: Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) represent a biologically distinct and clinically aggressive subset of melanoma. Comprehensive molecular characterization focused on intracranial disease remains limited. We aimed to define the genomic landscape of MBM and compare these findings with public melanoma datasets. Methods: We retrospectively identified 166 patients with histologically confirmed MBM across Mayo Clinic tri-sites (2011-2025). Molecular testing was performed in 123 patients (74.1%). Comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS; ≥300-gene platforms including Tempus, FoundationOne, Caris, NeoGenomics, and MayoComplete Solid Tumor Panel) was available in 41 patients (24.7%). Intermediate-depth profiling using the MayoComplete Melanoma Panel (17 genes) was performed in 21 patients (12.7%), and a targeted 5-gene melanoma driver panel (BRAF, NRAS, KIT, GNAQ, GNA11) in 52 patients (31.3%). cfDNA-based NGS was available in 12 patients (7.2%). Genomic alterations were summarized and benchmarked against TCGA-SKCM and MSK-IMPACT datasets via cBioPortal. We considered assay heterogeneity, as Mayo panels varied in sequencing depth and CNV coverage, and hybrid-capture platforms often under-detect TERT promoter hotspots. Results: Patients had a median age of 67 years, and 63% were male. BRAF mutations occurred in 48.8% (BRAF V600E/K 41.6%; non-V600 7.2%). Additional MAPK alterations included NRAS (17.5%), KIT (5.4%), GNAQ (1.2%), and GNA11 (0.6%). In the comprehensive NGS subset, tumor-suppressor alterations included CDKN2A (17.5%), PTEN (7.8%), NF1 (9.0%), TP53 (8.4%), and TERT promoter mutations (22.9%). Median TMB was 11.55 mut/Mb (IQR 5.0-25.5). Co-alterations included BRAF+CDKN2A (7.2%), BRAF+PTEN (4.2%), NRAS+CDKN2A (4.2%), NRAS+PTEN (1.2%), and CDKN2A+PTEN (3.6%); overall, 18.1% harbored MAPK driver + tumor-suppressor co-alterations. Compared with TCGA and MSK cohorts, MBM showed similar MAPK driver frequencies but fewer MAPK + tumor-suppressor co-alterations and lower CDKN2A, PTEN, and TP53 disruption, alongside a more prevalent of TERT promoter mutations (22.9% vs 7% and 2.1%), which may partly reflect coverage differences. Conclusion: MBM exhibit a distinct genomic profile characterized by reduced tumor-suppressor loss, fewer MAPK-tumor-suppressor co-alterations, and higher prevalence of TERT promoter mutations. While assay heterogeneity limits direct cross-cohort comparisons, these patterns suggest potentially distinct biological features of intracranial melanoma and underscore the need for harmonized, MBM-specific molecular studies to guide therapeutic development.

Resistance to mitochondrial apoptosis is a major driver of chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, pharmacological manipulation of the mitochondrial apoptosis threshold in PDAC cells remains an unmet therapeutic goal. We hypothesized that fatty acid synthase inhibitors (FASNis), a family of targeted metabolic therapeutics recently entering the clinic, could lower the apoptotic threshold in chemoresistant PDAC cells and be synergistic with BH3 mimetics that neutralize anti-apoptotic proteins. Computational studies with TVB-3166 and TVB-3664, two analogues of the clinical-grade FASNi TVB-2640 (denifanstat), confirmed their uncompetitive behavior towards NADPH when bound to the FASN ketoacyl reductase domain. The extent of NADPH accumulation, a consequence of FASN inhibition, paralleled the sensitivity of PDAC cells to the apoptotic effects of TVB FASNis in conventional PDAC cell lines that naturally express varying levels of FASN. FASN inhibition dramatically increased the sensitivity of “FASN-high” expressing PDAC cells to the BCL2/BCL-XL/BCL-W inhibitor ABT-263/navitoclax and the BCL2-selective inhibitor ABT-199/venetoclax, both in vitro and in in vivo xenografted tumors. The ability of TVB FASNis to shift the balance of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins and thereby push PDAC cells closer to the apoptotic threshold was also observed in cell lines developed from patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) representative of the classical (pancreatic) transcriptomic subtype of PDAC. Experiments in PDAC PDXs in vivo confirmed the synergistic antitumor activity of TVB-3664 with navitoclax and venetoclax, independent of the nature of the replication stress signature of patient-derived PDAC cells. The discovery that targeted inhibition of FASN is a metabolic perturbation that sensitizes PDAC cells to BH3 mimetics warrants further investigation to overcome resistance to mitochondrial apoptosis in PDAC patients.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a disease with guarded prognosis with a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 3.1% in patients with metastatic disease. The need for innovative treatments for this lethal disease is paramount. TTFields is a novel treatment modality that employs low intensity, alternating, and intermediate frequency electrical fields that abrogates cancer cell proliferation through different mechanisms. These include inhibition of mitosis, disruption of cancer cell membranes, metabolomic dysregulation of cancer cells, and immunogenic activation of the tumor microenvironment (TME). TTFields are approved in glioblastoma multiforme, non-small cell lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. The PANOVA trial demonstrated promising efficacy for TTFields plus chemotherapy in patients with PDA. A trial of GCN in patients with PDA demonstrated exceptional efficacy in patients with metastatic disease. Here in, we present our ongoing clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of TTFields plus GCN in patients with PDA (NCT04605913). This a phase I/II trial with an initial safety run-in phase followed by the phase II portion. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the safety (CTCAE v 5.0) of GCN plus TTFields. Secondary objectives include determining the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate, overall response rate (ORR, RECIST v1.1), 12-month survival rate, OS, and QOL (EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0.2.3). Inclusion criteria include PDA with liver metastasis (patients can have additional sites of metastasis), ECOG 0-1, measurable disease, and ability to operate the Novo TTF-100L (P)/Novo TTF-200T system. Treatment consisted of TTFields (150 kHz 18 hours/day) and GCN (G: 1000 mg/m2, C 30 mg/m2, and N: 150 mg/m2 every 2 weeks, 28 days cycle), followed by a maintenance phase after 6 months (G: 1000 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) plus TTFields until progression. Six patients were to be enrolled in the phase I portion and if ≤1/6 patients experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT, treatment emergent adverse event, or skin toxicity of Gr4), the plan would be to move to a phase II trial enrolling 34 more patients. If 2/6 patients experienced a DLT, 6 patients would be enrolled in dose level -1 (GCN plus TTFields for 9 hours/day followed by the maintenance treatment) and if tolerated the phase II portion would start with dose level -1 regimen. The phase I portion was completed without any DLTs and the trial is currently enrolling to the phase II portion. The total number of patients (40) was powered to the 6-months PFS rate and ORR (estimated using the lower bound of exact one-sided 90% confidence intervals). The goal is to "reject" a 6-month PFS rate of 66% and an ORR of 71% (based on previous GCN trial). Time-to-event endpoints will be assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Hani M.

e14626 Background: Despite advancements in neoadjuvant therapy and surgical techniques, patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) often experience high recurrence rates after total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) and resection. Existing tumor response scoring systems, such as the College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines, fail to stratify recurrence risk effectively, emphasizing the need for novel, objective approaches. Methods: This study evaluated spatial characteristics of residual cancer and stroma in a multi-site cohort of 203 patients with resected PDAC following TNT, not having achieved a major pathologic response (CAP 2 or 3). Whole slide images (WSI) of hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections were digitized and analyzed using artificial intelligence to perform tissue segmentation. Metrics quantifying spatial morphology and configuration, inspired by principles of landscape ecology, were computed to explore spatial features of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Statistical models (recursive partitioning and regression tree [RPRT] model and Cox model with backwards eliminations) incorporating these features were developed to stratify recurrence risk. Results: Five metrics were used for risk classification model build. Three models successfully classified patients into high- and low-risk groups based on spatial metrics. Models demonstrated moderate discriminatory power (C-statistics: 0.560–0.566) and showed that increased tumor fragmentation, like stromal patch density and cancer patch shape index, were strongly associated with improved outcomes. Conclusions: Integrating spatial metrics of cancer-stroma configuration enhances risk stratification beyond conventional scoring systems. Given increased tumor fragmentation is associated with improved outcomes, these data indirectly suggest ecological mechanisms of treatment resistance. This approach offers a pathway toward personalized post-operative management strategies to improve outcomes in PDAC. Risk classification models.

801 Background: SBA is a rare, poorly understood gastrointestinal malignancy. Adenocarcinomas are often grouped with other small bowel cancer histologies in epidemiologic and outcomes reports, which limits the ability to detect SBA-specific trends. Recent studies in European populations show increasing SBA incidence, but there are limited published data in American cohorts. Identifying trends in SBA can improve understanding of the population most at risk for developing SBA. This study describes U.S. trends in SBA incidence and outcomes from 2000 to 2019. Methods: Using the 2022 SEER research-limited dataset, we identified SBA cases and measured the incidence change from 2000-2019. We built linear regression models to evaluate changes in annual incidence by groups, including sex, race, and age of diagnosis, separately. We then compared the overall incidence and trends between subgroups. We investigated overall survival (OS) through the SEER research case listings for SBA patients diagnosed during the study period. Results: An average of 0.67 cases/100,000 SBA cases were reported annually from 2000-2019, with a median diagnosis age of 69 years. SBA incidence has increased annually by 0.3% per year from 2000-2019 (p=0.05). From 2000-2019, men were at a higher risk for SBA compared to women (p=0.02). In men, SBA cases increased at a rate of 0.004 cases/100,000/year from 2000-2019 (p=0.01) and a nonsignificant decrease in women of 0.00012 cases/100,000/year. There were no statistically significant differences in incidence or the change in incidence of SBA by race. The age-adjusted incidence was significantly higher each year between 2000 and 2019 in the > 70 cohort compared to the <70 cohort (p=0.02). Cases of SBA increased at a rate of 0.02 cases/100,000/year in adults >70 years (p=0.02). There were no differences in incidence rates in patients <70 years. There was no significant difference in OS for patients diagnosed with SBA in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2019 (p=0.21). Conclusions: The overall annual incidence of SBA is increasing in the U.S. population. The most significant rate increases are in men and adults older than 70. In the SEER population, trends in SBA contrast with the recent rise of colorectal cancer in the young adult population, highlighting the unique nature of SBA compared to other gastrointestinal malignancies. Additionally, survival outcomes in patients diagnosed with SBA have remained stable over the past 20 years, while other malignancies have shown improvement in the same period. The small cohort size and the lack of a universal U.S. cancer registry limited this evaluation. Improved reporting of SBA cases and further research to identify risk factors are urgently needed to reduce the growing impact of SBA.

PURPOSE:Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors (nICIs) have demonstrated high response rates in deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). The NEONIPIGA and INFINITY trials demonstrated high rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) in this patient population. Furthermore, the INFINITY trial explored the feasibility of managing these patients nonoperatively, demonstrating promising results. This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes of nICIs in resectable dMMR/MSI-H GEA, with a focus on the feasibility of nonoperative management (NOM). MATERIALS AND METHODS:This retrospective cohort study included patients with resectable dMMR/MSI-H GEA and treated with nICIs ± surgery at the Mayo Clinic. Patients were identified from institutional records, and clinical data were retrospectively reviewed. Primary outcomes were clinical complete response (cCR) and pCR. Secondary outcomes included event-free survival (EFS), radiologic complete response (rCR), and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). RESULTS:A total of 26 patients treated between April 1, 2017, and July 30, 2025, were identified. Nine patients (34.6%) underwent surgery, of whom six (66.7%) achieved pCR. Seventeen patients (65.4%) pursued NOM, with 10 (71.4%) of 14 evaluable patients achieving cCR and 14 (82.4%) of 17 evaluable achieving rCR. One patient who initially achieved cCR had a local recurrence on surveillance endoscopy and underwent salvage endoscopic resection. At a median follow-up of 19.3 months, 15 (88.2%) of 17 patients in the NOM cohort were alive and metastasis-free, with EFS rates of 87.3% at 12 and 24 months for all patients. irAEs occurred in nine patients (34.6%), with no grade ≥3 toxicities. CONCLUSION:In this retrospective cohort study, nICIs led to high cCR and pCR rates in resectable dMMR/MSI-H GEA, supporting the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in this setting and the feasibility of NOM in select patients.

PURPOSE:Neoadjuvant ± adjuvant immunotherapy improves event-free survival (EFS) versus adjuvant immunotherapy alone for high-risk resectable Stage III melanoma. However, the optimal regimen balancing efficacy and tolerability is unknown. T-cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT) is a promising immune checkpoint whose therapeutic potential in Stage III melanoma is underexplored. METHODS:In this phase II trial, patients with resectable, macroscopic Stage III melanoma received four 21-day neoadjuvant cycles of 1200 mg IV atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) + 600 mg IV tiragolumab (anti-TIGIT), therapeutic lymph node dissection (TLND) and eight adjuvant cycles of atezolizumab. Primary endpoints were pathologic response and recurrence-free survival (RFS) after TLND in patients receiving adjuvant therapy; secondary and exploratory endpoints included adverse events (AEs), EFS and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). RESULTS:Thirty-four patients initiated neoadjuvant atezolizumab/tiragolumab and were evaluable for AEs, pathologic response and EFS. 76.5 % had > 1 metastatic lymph node at baseline and 73.5 % were Stage IIIC. Thirty patients had per protocol TLND. Major pathologic responses (MPR, ≤10 % viable tumor) were observed in 16/34 patients (47.1 %). With 19.9 months median follow-up, 12-month EFS was 72.0 % (95 %CI 57.9-89.5 %), 12-month RFS was 73.3 % (95 %CI 56.9-94.5 %), and 12-month DMFS 86.0 % (95 %CI 72.2-100 %). 12-month RFS and DMFS for patients with an MPR were both 91.7 % (95 %CI: 77.3-100 %). Grade 3 + AEs at least possibly neoadjuvant treatment-related occurred in 2 patients (5.9 %). CONCLUSION:Among patients with high-risk resectable Stage III melanoma, neoadjuvant atezolizumab/tiragolumab was a promising regimen with a favorable safety profile and warrants further study. A strategy to personalize neoadjuvant regimen selection is needed.
BACKGROUND:This phase 1 study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of rucaparib (RUB), a poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, combined with liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in metastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. RUB targets DNA repair pathways, showing efficacy in tumors with homologous recombination deficiency, such as BRCA mutations. Preclinical data suggest synergy with irinotecan, but overlapping toxicities pose challenges. METHODS:Eighteen patients with metastatic GI cancers, who previously progressed on at least one systemic therapy, were enrolled. A novel sequential dosing regimen, informed by nal-IRI pharmacokinetic analysis, was used. Twelve patients were evaluable for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and 12 for response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 criteria. RESULTS:The MTD was established as RUB 600 mg twice daily, nal-IRI 50 mg/m2, and 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours. The objective response rate (ORR) was 33% (4 of 12), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 75% (9 of 12). Common grade 3 adverse events included diarrhea (33%) and neutropenia (25%), with no grade 4/5 events. Responses were notable in patients with somatic ATM and BRCA mutations, especially those with prior platinum exposure. No DLTs occurred at the recommended phase 2 dose. CONCLUSIONS:This optimized dosing schedule successfully established the MTD for RUB with nal-IRI and 5-FU, overcoming prior challenges with PARP inhibitor and irinotecan combinations. The promising ORR and DCR support further evaluation of this regimen in advanced GI malignancies.

732 Background: Ampullary carcinoma (AC) is a rare malignancy arising from the ampulla of Vater which has a more favorable prognosis compared to other pancreatic malignancies. Current guidelines favor surgical resection followed by adjuvant therapy for average risk patients (pts), however the type of regimen as well as other perioperative treatment modalities are still being explored. The objective of this retrospective study aims to provide insight into the management of locoregional disease. Methods: Pathology records from Mayo Clinic (AZ, FL, MN) denoting AC between 2010 to 2024 were searched using Mayo Data Explorer and selected for retrospective review. Pt demographics, treatment courses, and next generation sequencing (NGS) data were collected. Statistical analysis was conducted using SAS version 9.04. Results: A total of 137 pts (62% male, n = 85) were identified with median age 66 years old. Histologic subtypes were 54% pancreatobiliary (44/81), 40% intestinal (32/81), 6% mixed (5/81), with 56 pts unknown. Stages at diagnosis were 81% resectable (111/137), 11% locally advanced (15/137), and 8% metastatic (11/137). Nearly all (93%, n = 103/111) pts with localized disease had resection with a 97% R0 resection rate (100/103). Majority (68%, n = 75/111) of resectable pts had perioperative chemotherapy with 5-FU or gemcitabine-based regimens (24%, n = 18/75 neoadjuvant vs. 76%, n = 57/75 adjuvant). Perioperative chemoradiation was given in 17% (19/111) of pts. At median follow up of 30.5 months, recurrence rates were 40% (41/103), primarily to the liver (18/41). Median recurrence free survival (RFS) was 29.3 months (95% CI 24.7 – NE). Median overall survival (OS) has not been reached. The 5-year RFS and OS rates were 0.37 (95% CI 0.25 - 0.55) and 0.69 (95% CI 0.58 - 0.82), respectively. Univariate analysis showed no difference in OS with the addition of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiation. Somatic NGS testing showed pathogenic mutations in 90% of pts (63/70): 57% KRAS (36/63; 44% G12D, 19% G12V, 8% G12C, 8% G12D, 19% others); 13% homologous recombination (HR) (8/63); 6% ERRB2 /Her2 amplification (4/63), and 5% mismatch repair (MMR) (3/63). Conclusions: AC has a favorable prognosis in resectable pts. However, high recurrence rates indicate the need for better systemic therapies and improved selection of pts who would benefit from these treatments. Future research should focus on refining perioperative strategies to enhance outcomes and reduce recurrence.
678 Background: Financial toxicity (FT) represents a challenge for cancer patients that impacts treatment decisions, patient satisfaction, and quality of life. Social determinants of health (SDoH) screening may predict who is at risk of FT and could potentially benefit from financial interventions. Methods: This is a retrospective study of all cancer patients presenting to Mayo Clinic sites between Sept 2023 – Jun 2024. Patients completed SDoH questionnaires and were given risk scores of Low Risk, Medium Risk, and High Risk for SDoH categories: Financial Strain Risk, Transportation Risk, and Food Insecurity Risk. Patient financial data including active debt amounts, insurance coverage, and financial aid were collected. Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) were compared to those with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) and patients with other cancers (Others). Categorical variables were compared with Pearson's Chi-squared test, continuous variables with Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Data was obtained from 88,039 patients, 2,607 of whom had PDAC and 449 had PNET. Compared to PDAC patients, PNET patients and Others were more likely to have Medium/High risk scores for Financial Strain Risk (6% vs 6.5% and 8.5%, respectively) and Food Insecurity (1.7% vs 3.8% and 3.2%) (Table). There was no statistically significant difference in median medical debt and need of financial assistance between the groups. Among PDAC patients, there were differences in distributions among race, primary language spoken, and patient electronic record access depending on Financial Risk categories. African American patients had the greatest proportion of Medium/High risk (12.9%) compared to Asian (4.4%) and White (5.8%) patients (P<0.001). Among patients with English as their primary language, 64.9% had Low Risk scores compared to 27.7% with other primary languages (P<0.001). Patients with electronic record access were more likely to report High Risk scores (6.9%) compared to those without access (1.6%). Conclusions: Per patient responses collected, PDAC patients presenting to our center have lower risk of financial strain and similar medical debt levels compared to the remainder of cancer patients. Among PDAC patients, higher financial strain was experienced by non-whites (7.9% vs 5.8%).
