A breakthrough moment in high-grade neuroendocrine oncology. 🔬 This new @JCOPO_ASCO analysis positions DLL3 as one of the most compelling biomarkers in aggressive GEP-NEN biology. @OncoAlert @ASCO https://t.co/h82LULUw02

DLL3 in GEP-NENs: new therapeutic window 🔥 High DLL3 expression: 71% GEP-NECs, 40% G3 NETs, esp. PanNET G3 (43%) ⚠️ DLL3+ G3 PanNETs → worse survival (HR 3.27) 🧪 DLL3-immunoPET detected avid lesions in 5/6 patients 💡DLL3: promising target for NEC & high-grade PanNETs 🔗

Landmark paper from @MSKCancerCenter led by my friend @rohit_thum on landscape of DLL3 in GEP Neuroendocrine neoplasms. DLL3 is not prognostic, enriched in small cell histology and can be found in 40% of well diff G3 NENs! Functional imaging offers a promising platform for DLL3

@JCOPO_ASCO (5/X) We think this work could help inform further DLL3 therapeutic development in GEP NENs – notably highlighting G3 GEP NET population which have to date generally been excluded from clinical trials of novel agents in this space.

@JCOPO_ASCO (4/X) We next performed 89Zr-SC16.56 functional DLL3 immunoPET-CT imaging in patients with DLL3 IHC-positive disease, describing high level functional DLL3 tumor avidity both in patients with GEP NECs (left) and G3 well differentiated pancreatic NETs (right).

@JCOPO_ASCO (3/X) Among well differentiated GEP NETs, we describe DLL3 expression in ~40% of high grade (G3) tumors, most commonly G3 pancreatic NETs, and describe association of DLL3 expression and poor outcomes with standard therapies in pancreatic NETs.

@JCOPO_ASCO (2/X) First, we describe DLL3 IHC expression in ~70% of poorly differentiated GEP NECs across primary sites of disease, with enrichment for small cell histology, supporting multiple ongoing therapeutic efforts in this space.

These findings are very interesting and we couldn’t have contributed Mayo data with out you, Osama. There seems to be activity of ICI after progression of panc NETs following prior alkylating therapy but the benefit may be limited to those with high TMB and/or dMMR.

Grateful to contribute to this multi-institutional study. Our study shows that immunotherapy may be effective in metastatic pancreatic NETs pretreated with alkylating agents with dMMR or TMB-high status. Our findings support NGS testing and assessing MMR and TMB status following

We looked at this exact question and found that high TMB after targeted therapy, which is more striking in plasma than in tissue, is not sufficient to engender a response to immunotherapy. Manuscript just out!

High-TMB after anti-EGFR therapy in MSS CRC @ESMO_Open ✅TMB ≥10 (after vs before anti-EGFR): 33.8% vs 9.7% ✅Higher alterations of MAPK signaling 👉Could high-TMB accompanied by "subclonal" alterations after anti-EGFR therapy be a target for immunotherapy?

As expected, Jason Starr delivered a fantastic review of grade changes, “grade creep” and dedifferentiation at @NANETS1. When should we biopsy and how should we alter therapy when this occurs?
