This Gustave Roussy-sponsored biomedical research exploited the extensive molecular and immunological characterization of on-purpose fresh biopsies of metastatic sites in relapsed and refractory phase I-eligible patients in order to orient these patients to the most adapted molecular targeted or immune-based therapy. In the fjrst part of this program, named MOSCATO-01, over 1011 patients were included between November 2011 and March 2016. Four hundred eleven patients had an “actionable” molecular abnormality (identifjed on NGS gene panel, CGHa, IHC analyses and more recently WES/RNASeq) and 199 out them have been treated with an ad hoc targeted molecule. The
- bjective of the study was to demonstrate that
the progression-free survival of the fjrst line
- f oriented treatment (PFS2) was signifjcantly
superior to the progression-free survival of the last treatment line before inclusion (PFS1). This judgment criterion was fully achieved with a PFS2/PFS1 ratio > 1.3 in 33% (IC95 PFS ratio: 26-39%) of the patients with a disease control rate of 62% and a median overall survival of 11.3 months. With these results, MOSCATO-01 is the fjrst trial demonstrating a clinical benefjt in advanced cancer patients by a large-scale molecular screening and precision medicine approach. The second part of the program, named MOSCATO-02, was launched in March 2016 by Dr . Antoine Hollebecque. It is an extension of the fjrst part and now includes, on top of the molecular profjling, an immune contexture characterization and an evaluation of the mutational load (WES) for the orientation of the patient to immunotherapy.

PRECISION MEDICINE PROGRAMS
Dr MASSARDThe MATCH-R trial started in 2014 (PI : Prof. Benjamin Besse, Head of the Medical Oncology Department). It is a two-centre prospective trial sponsored by Gustave Roussy which aims at characterizing the evolution of clonal architecture of tumors from patients treated with molecular targeted therapies. It is designed to collect fresh tumor biopsies at relapse/recurrence in patients treated with molecular targeted agents (either approved
- r in early clinical trials of the DITEP portfolio
- f studies). Eligible patients are patients in
progressive disease who previously experienced a signifjcant benefjt to a targeted molecules (objective response or long-lasting disease stabilization > 6 months) and availability of an archived initial tumor material. This MATCH-R program also includes several sub-studies :
- The Bégin Hospital and Gustave Roussy have
collaborated to establish one focusing on cancer
- f the prostate (Dr
. Yohann Loriot) in patients resistant to enzalutamide and abiraterone.
- The MATCH-R IMMUNO is a prospective study
that aims at identifying molecular mechanisms
- f resistance to immunotherapies in patients
with unresectable or metastatic cancers. Eligible patients in this trial are patients eligible for a treatment with an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody , either in monotherapy or in combination.

The « Liquid Biopsy » Program is based on the detection in the blood of circulating tumor residues, such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), nucleic acids (ctDNA or ctRNA) using specifjc highly sensitive and specifjc assays. The general goal of this approach is to monitor , through a repeatable and safe blood sampling, the clonal evolution of tumors at the cellular and molecular levels under the pressure of targeted therapies and to characterize resistance mechanisms. This program is currently deployed across multiple indications, with a focus on lung cancers, for the tracking of already known (in initial tumor biopsies) molecular aberrations (i.e. mutations, amplifjcations, translocations) on
- ncogeneic drivers (EGFR, ALK, MET, FGFR…)
and to evidence any new one that could be associated to primary or secondary resistance (e.g. to immune checkpoints blockers or specifjc tyrosine-kinase inhibitors).

Recent years have seen the emergence of new immunotherapies fjnally effective. These new molecules, mainly monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs), present a novel mechanism of action: by blocking co-inhibitory receptors expressed by T cell they unleash their effector functions. The fjrst generation of these immune-targeted mAbs are blocking immune checkpoint receptors such as CTLA4* and PD1 ** and have revolutionized the treatment of melanoma with metastatic response rates and survival exceptionally increased. The PD1/PD-L1 blocking mAbs also give very encouraging results in cancers of the kidney, lung and other advanced cancers are currently being explored. A new generation of treatments against cancer is born!
* CTLA4: cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 ** PD1: Programmed cell death protein 1
In 2015, Gustave Roussy launched an institutional program dedicated to immunotherapy: GRIP (Gustave Roussy Immunotherapy Program). This program aims at strengthening translational research on these new treatments, and accelerating the clinical development
- f immunotherapy
, in order to give access to these treatments to the largest number of patients. Initiated by Professor Alexander Eggermont, General Director of Gustave Roussy , the GRIP program is under the clinical direction of Dr . Aurélien Marabelle and under the scientifjc direction of Professor Laurence Zitvogel. By reactivating the immune system against cancer cells, these immunotherapies may sometimes provoke auto-immune reactions. These reactions are new and necessitate specifjc management. In addition, some rare toxic effects are potentially severe and require early detection. As part of the GRIP, Gustave Roussy has implemented a program designed to manage the adverse effects of immunotherapies. This program has 4 components: a network of organ specialist, institutional management guidelines, the REISAMIC pharmacovigilance registry (Registry of Severe Adverse Effects of Immunomodulating Monoclonal Antibodies in Oncology), and dedicated multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings.

IMMUNOTHERAPY

RADIOTHERAPY
Radiotherapy combinations
The link between development of new anticancer drugs and radiation therapy has been part of the activity of DITEP since its creation. Combination
- f
radiotherapy with nanoparticles, therapies targeting DNA repair mechanisms and immunomodulatory agents are under study. A signifjcant portion of this activity is at the interface with the preclinical research activity developed at Gustave Roussy. The combination of radiotherapy with other anticancer agents is therefore part of a comprehensive development strategy. For these studies, academic funding is of special importance notably in the case of combinations
- f antiviral agents and radiotherapy.
Radiomics
The Radiomics team of the INSERM U1030 unit (led by Prof. Eric Deutsch) has established a very fruitful collaboration with the group of Pr Nikos Paragios (Centrale Supelec INRIA), bringing world- renowned expertise in imaging analysis and artifjcial intelligence. Medical image processing and analysis (i.e. radiomics) is a promising and rapidly growing
- discipline. This new approach consists of the analysis
- f high dimensional data (typically > 1000 features
per volume of interest) extracted from standard medical imaging such as CT-scans, PET or MRI. The underlying assumption is that imaging refmects not only the architecture of the tissues, but also their cellular and molecular composition. The end goal
- f radiomics is to generate imaging biomarkers as
decision support tools for clinical practice and to better understand cancer biology. One of the axes
- f research is the use of radiomics as a predictor of
lymphocytic tumor infjltration and thus of the effjcacy
- f immunotherapies.
HEMATOLOGY
With 19 trials
- pen
for hematological malignancies, the DITEP has emerged as a key player in hematology drug development. More than 90 patients were enrolled in these trials in 2016 with myeloid and lymphoid diseases. First in man studies targeting epigenetics (IDH2 and EZH2) open new areas for treating patients and now will enter in phase II and III drug development given the high level of activity
- bserved in trials where the DITEP was largely
involved. On the
- ther
hand, targeting immune checkpoints proved to be extremely effective in lymphomas such as Hodgkin disease. During the recent years, a dedicated hematology team within the translational research laboratory has been created and offers now the opportunity to add biological cellular collection and a molecular profjle of the patient’s tumors. This molecular profjle is implemented for patient’s screening. Our aim will be to characterize more precisely the patient’s tumors and more effjciently propose the relevant trial to the patients according to this updated molecular characterization.

cially DITEP. This objective is supported by an active policy of attracting global phar- maceutical and biotechnology companies. It is based on the value of our medical and scientifjc expertise, our operational skills and our clinical and biological resources. Through industry partnerships, our priority is to have access to the most innovative and potentially effective agents for our patients early in their development. Our teams are able to propose ancillary projects to optimize development of these molecules, establish the mechanism of their action or defjne predictive biomarkers
- f their effectiveness. This is also the
- pportunity to collaborate on preclinical
and translational studies in biology or ima- ging, connecting academic and industrial researchers and clinicians, thus genera- ting signifjcant benefjts in terms of patents and know-how. Finally, these collaborations are accompa- nied by signifjcant funding to retain skilled personnel and develop new methods. To this end, DITEP promotes privileged partnerships with pharmaceutical compa- nies likely to give us a substantial portfolio
- f molecules and early trials.

DITEP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Mission/core identity of the DITEP Our mission is to provoke radical changes, qualitative and quantitative strides forward in cancer care. The DITEP team embodies, develops and promotes clinical research that is conceived as patient-centered care and based on offering the greatest number of patients’ access to innovative therapies and to early clinical trials. The innovation is placed at the crossroads between early clinical trials and tumor bio- logy, especially precision medicine. The DITEP is a key player in the develop- ment of immunotherapy, innovative mole- cules in hematological malignancies and combinations to radiotherapy. Institutional anchoring The DITEP is structurally and functionally integrated within Gustave Roussy. This integration is implemented as a dyna- mic process of interactions with the other medical departments, research units and technical platforms along the whole drug development path. Development dynamics Our goal is to remain in the group of the world leaders in drug development, and to be a key player, driver and facilitator in the evaluation of tomorrow’s medicine in onco- logy. The way to do so is to maintain and to spread enthusiasm, open intelligence and proactive practices regarding future medi- cal and scientifjc evolutions. Activity model and quality management Since November 2016, the DITEP is certi- fjed ISO 9001v2015 (Quality Management System) for its activities of access to the- rapeutic innovations, management of early clinical trials, and scientifjc outreach. Our managerial values are to establish solidarity and cooperation between DITEP professionals and jobs a cornerstone of our practices. The strategic stakes are to ensure and develop the quality of our partnerships, both private and public with industrial and academic teams.
