Key Points

  • The study aims to use AI to identify morphogenomic biomarkers that predict response to PARP inhibitors in metastatic triple negative breast cancer.
  • Analyzed H&E-stained biopsy samples collected during the AMTEC trial.
  • Quantified changes in morphological phenotypes between pre-treatment and on-treatment samples using the PATHOMIQ Phenotype Atlas.
  • Estimated gene expression profiles from histology images using a deep learning model known as PATHOMIQ Genoscope.
  • Utilized univariate and multivariate Cox modeling to evaluate significant genes associated with progression-free survival.
  • Morphometric changes related to desmoplasty and necrosis were significantly associated with progression-free survival (p < 0.001).
  • Identified 15 significant genes predictive of progression-free survival from H&E images.
  • A multivariate model incorporating top-ranked genes demonstrated robust stratification of patient outcomes.
  • Kaplan-Meier estimation revealed a significant survival difference with a median-expression cutoff (p < 0.01).

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have demonstrated the potential to enhance tumor immunogenicity and sensitize cancer cells to immune checkpoint blockade, as shown in the AMTEC clinical trial. However, identifying PARPi responders and understanding the tumor's adaptive response remain significant clinical challenges. Advances in multi-omic profiling offer unprecedented resolution into these dynamics, yet the complexity and volume of such data demand sophisticated analytical approaches. By applying AI to histopathology images, we aim to uncover predictive morphogenomic biomarkers of PARPi response, potentially enabling more precise treatment selection and to reveal novel mechanisms of therapeutic adaptation in the tumor and its immune microenvironment. Method: We applied two complementary approaches to identify predictive morphometric and morphogenomic biomarkers in biopsy samples collected during the AMTEC trial. Using the PATHOMIQ Phenotype Atlas, we quantified fold changes in individual morphological phenotypes between matched pre-treatment and on-treatment biopsies to identify morphology-based predictors of treatment response.
