Love, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, Santa Monica, CA The Love Army of Women (AOW) has existed for five and a half years. It was designed to accelerate translational research by facilitating the recruitment of women to participate in studies aimed at identifying the causes of breast cancer. The response from the public has been strong; however, much of the scientific community appears reluctant to engage the public in their work. Meanwhile, the patient/public population has become increasingly impatient with the rate of clinically relevant discoveries from cancer research. In an effort to directly engage its membership with research, the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation (DSLRF) launched the Health of Women Study in October 2012. This online study represents a cohort of women and men with and without breast cancer. The DSLRF has since gathered crowdsourced questions, allowing people the opportunity to highlight topics that they feel require further investigation, such as what are the underlying mechanisms causing breast cancer and how can we best eliminate treatment-associated toxicities and side effects. The DSLRF found that while patients are grateful for their survival, there is a consensus that more research is needed to document and understand the long-lasting effects of breast cancer treatment regimes. As a first effort in the fall of 2013, the DSLRF, along with similar advocacy groups, launched a collaborative project focused on gathering topics and questions from breast cancer patients of all ages, genders, and stages with the hope of documenting the true cost of the cure, the collateral damage experienced by patients, while simultaneously stimulating a greater public interest in the research process.

Gapstur, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, GA While drinking low to moderate amounts of alcohol is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, drinking too much alcohol increases risk of high blood pressure, heart failure, sudden death, and stroke. Moreover, alcohol drinking is a cause of cancers at eight different anatomic sites, including breast cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S. and worldwide. However, the scientific evidence linking alcohol to several other cancer sites is limited. My recent research has focused on examining associations of alcohol drinking with cancer sites where the evidence is limited using data collected from the Cancer Prevention Study-II, a large cohort of U.S. men and women followed for cancer mortality since 1982, and from a subset of this cohort followed for cancer incidence since 1992. Data from this cohort allow us to examine associations with different alcohol beverage types and to disentangle the effects cigarette smoking from that of alcohol drinking. Room 6B, San Diego Convention Center Antibody Therapy for Cancer: Targeting the Tumor and Targeting the Host Ronald Levy, Stanford University, Stanford, CA Sara A. Courtneidge, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, La Jolla, CA Cell invasion plays a central role in a wide variety of biological phenomena, and is the cause of tumor growth and metastasis. Understanding the biochemical mechanisms that control cell invasion is one of the major goals of our laboratory. Podosomes and invadopodia are specialized cellular structures present in cells with physiological or pathological invasive behaviors. These transient structures are localized at the ventral cell surface, contain an array of different proteins, and facilitate cell-substrate adhesion as well as the local proteolytic activity necessary for extracellular matrix remodeling and subsequent cellular invasion. We have shown that the adaptor proteins and Src substrates Tks4 and Tks5 are required for podosome and invadopodia formation, for cell migration during development, for cancer cell invasion in vitro, and for tumor growth in vivo. Inhibitors of podosome and invadopodia formation might have utility in the treatment of vascular diseases and cancer. We have developed a high content, cell-based high-throughput screening assay to quantify podosome/invadopodia formation, and screened a diversity set of small-molecule inhibitors as well as a library of siRNAs targeting the entire kinome. The mechanisms by which select compounds and kinases regulate invadopodia formation are the subject of our current investigations. Great advances have been made using monoclonal antibodies and their derivatives for the treatment of cancer. These agents have changed the standard of care of a number of malignancies, including lymphoma, leukemia, breast, colon, and head and neck cancer, with regression of tumor and extension of life having been achieved. These agents have been great commercial successes. However, very few patients with these diseases are being cured. Most recently, antibodies have been developed that target the host immune system in various ways to enhance the power of antibodies targeted against the tumor, as well as the power of other antitumor therapies. We can look forward to a time when highly effective combinations of antibodies and small targeted molecules will result in a greater number of patients being cured. 432 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 433 Tuesday, 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. Room 29A-D, San Diego Convention Center Room 11, San Diego Convention Center Cancer Genome Landscapes Through Tissue and Blood-Based Molecular Analyses Colorectal Cancer Risk Factors: Does Molecular Subtype Matter? Victor E. Velculescu, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baltimore, MD Analyses of cancer genomes have revealed mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis and new avenues for therapeutic intervention. In this session, I will discuss lessons learned through the characterization of cancer genome landscapes, challenges in translating these analyses to the clinic, and new technologies that have emerged to analyze molecular alterations in the circulation of cancer patients as cell-free tumor DNA. These approaches have important implications for noninvasive detection and monitoring of human cancer, therapeutic stratification, and identification of mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies. Paul J. Limburg, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of malignant death in the United States. Although environmental factors appear to be important in modulating CRC risk, the associated cellular targets and carcinogenic pathways remain incompletely defined. Using data and tissue resources from the prospective Iowa Women’s Health Study (IWHS), our transdisciplinary investigative team has been evaluating candidate lifestyle, hormonal, and dietary factors that may be plausibly linked to distinct, molecularly defined CRC subtypes. Emerging data in this field will be reviewed to share insights regarding exposure modification, early detection, chemoprevention, and other potential prevention strategies. Ballroom 20D, San Diego Convention Center Cancer Pharmacogenomics: Strategies and Challenges Mark J. Ratain, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL Germline variation influences the response of an individual to drug treatments, both in toxicity and efficacy. Understanding this variation has the potential to make antineoplastic therapy safer and more effective by determining selection and dosing of drugs for an individual patient. The session will discuss methodological issues in germline cancer pharmacogenomics, including genotyping, phenotyping, and statistical analysis. Specific published studies will also be discussed that illustrate methodological challenges. April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA Room 5, San Diego Convention Center Disordered Histone Methylation in Hematological and Other Malignancies Jonathan D. Licht, Northwestern University Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Chicago, IL Advances in genome sequencing revealed that recurrent mutations in chromatin regulators, including histone methyltransferases (HMTs) and histone demethylases, are prominent. These mutations may yield global, genome-wide dysfunction of chromatin, strongly affecting gene regulation. The balance between histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), associated with gene silencing and H3K4 methylation, linked to gene activation, is critical for normal gene expression. Activation of enhancers is associated with the placement of the H3K4 monomethyl mark and H3K27 acetylation, created by a complex including MLL2, MLL3, UTX, and SWI SNF components and CBP or p300, all of which may be mutated in malignancy. The repressive PRC2 complex contains a H3K27-specifc HMT, EZH2. Loss of function mutations of EZH2 or partner proteins leads to global loss of H3K27me3, while gain of function mutations of lymphoma increases H3K27me3. We will discuss how mutations of epigenetic modulators may drive malignancy and offer new therapeutic targets. 433 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 434 MEET-THE-EXPERT SESSIONS Room 6A, San Diego Convention Center Extending Genomic Profiling Towards Direct Medical Applications: From Bark to Bedside Jeffrey M. Trent, Translational Genomics Research Institute, Phoenix, AZ While targeted therapies revolutionize treatment of advanced cancers, strategies are needed to overcome therapeutic resistance and identify even more effective treatment options. Multidimensional genomics/knowledge recovery strategies may extend molecularly directed therapy to a broader spectrum of patients. Rigorous clinical evaluation in multiple patient populations, the development of significant infrastructure, deployment of novel analytics, and inclusion of targeted investigational agents directly allow genomics enabled medicine into cancer clinical trials. Recognizing the nascent, and frequently tumor-specific nature of current “rules” linking drugs to genomic profiles, significant efforts are refining drug matching through iterative learning including patient-derived tumorgrafts, cell lines, and leveraging network information in drug-matching algorithms. Importantly, the compressed disease course and commonality of genomic “drivers” allow novel adaptive trial designs in canine cancer patients. These studies will be discussed within a framework where novel computational platforms automatically query collective prior knowledge integrated with in vitro, in silico, and clinical outcomes. anhydrase IX and glycogen metabolism, where marked synergy was shown. These approaches are applicable to most types of cancer. Additional work on RNA sequencing of tumors and cell lines has revealed many new hypoxia-regulated targets and the extent of the modifications, including long noncoding RNAs, microRNAs, and antisense RNAs. Recent data on their clinical relevance will be discussed. Room 6CF, San Diego Convention Center Interpreting Genomic and HighThroughput Screening Data to Identify Novel Druggable Pathways in Cancer Michael A. Dyer, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN Over the past 5 years, Next-Gen sequencing efforts have generated an extensive catalog of germline and somatic mutations that occur in diverse cancer types. Now we face the challenge of using those data to make betterinformed decisions about therapeutic interventions. This session will focus on the genomic landscape of pediatric solid tumors and the recurrently mutated, druggable signaling pathways that support those tumors. I will assess current efforts in clinical genomics to interpret tumor-mutation data to direct therapy and unbiased drug screening in primary tumor cells in culture. This work will be presented in the context of a comprehensive translational research roadmap. Room 33A-C, San Diego Convention Center The Hypoxia Transcriptome and Antiangiogenesis Therapy: Synthetic Lethality Recruited for Therapeutic Effect Adrian L. Harris, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom There are still no biomarkers for the effect on this antiangiogenic therapy and one of the limiting factors is the induction of hypoxia, which induces many genes which are pro-tumorigenic. Through window-ofopportunity studies in breast cancer patients treated with bevacizumab, one may evaluate the genes induced by hypoxia to assess whether they produce new therapeutic potential. Examples will be given of carbonic 434 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 435 Tuesday, 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. Room 8, San Diego Convention Center Room 31A-C, San Diego Convention Center Lung Cancer Genomics Tumor-Host Dialogue During Progression and Therapeutic Resistance: A Perspective from the Vascular Niche Roman K. Thomas, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany Major sequencing efforts have enabled systematic discovery of recurrent genomic alterations in the major subtypes of lung cancer. Some of these alterations are therapeutically relevant; others are useful for a refinement of histopathological diagnoses. In my session I will discuss basic concepts of genomic sequencing of tumor specimens as well as recent discoveries in lung adenocarcinomas, squamous cell lung cancer, and small cell lung cancer. I will focus in particular on genomic alterations that might have therapeutic implications and that are currently being explored clinically. Finally, I will discuss the application of genome analysis technologies for diagnostic purposes. In summary, I will provide an overview on the state of the art of lung cancer genomics with a particular focus on clinically relevant findings and technological developments. Room 25, San Diego Convention Center Targeting Physical Forces to Enhance Cancer Treatment Rakesh K. Jain, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA Gabriele Bergers, University of California, San Francisco, CA Cancers are heterogeneous entities in which tumor cell populations as well as distinct host cell constituents form a dynamic and interactive tumor community that is pivotal not only for the genesis and progression of a tumor but also for the tumor’s ability to resist therapeutic elimination. Our major focus over the last years has been to expose the heterotypical signals of the tumor-host dialogue – with an emphasis on the vascular niche and its various cell constituents – that regulate tumor survival, stem cell maintenance, tumor invasion, and neovascularization. As any standard or targeted cancer therapy will provoke responses from the entire tumor community to fight the attempts of tumor eradication, it is the sum of all of these responses that will dictate the efficiency and endurance of a treatment modality. In order to balance these responses, it is our intention to identify combinatorial treatment modalities that interfere with these compensatory feedback loops and help to develop an adequate polytherapy that is tailored to more successfully impede therapeutic resistance and prolong survival. As tumors grow, they generate physical forces. These forces may fuel tumor progression and metastasis, and impair the efficacy of various treatments. Our hypothesis is that alleviating these forces should enhance treatment. I will discuss two types of physical forces: pressure exerted by the interstitial fluid (interstitial fluid pressure [IFP]) and by the solid components of tumors and surrounding tissue (compressive and tensile solid stresses), and explain why solid stress – and not elevated IFP – can collapse a leaky tumor vessel. I will summarize recent data on agents – including FDAapproved antihypertensive drugs – that can reopen tumor vessels and improve the distribution and efficacy of therapeutics in desmoplastic tumors. Therapies based on this emerging concept are now entering clinical trials in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma – a disease with a particularly grim prognosis – and have the potential to improve the treatment of cancer beyond what is currently possible via “vascular normalization” using antiangiogenic agents.

Detailed analysis of high-risk patients has revealed the major developmental pathway of HCC from chronic viral infection to dysplastic nodules, early HCC, and progressed HCC. Typical pathologic findings of HCC are cohesive tumor nests associated with rich vascular stroma, which is different from adenocarcinoma in other organ malignancies. HCC is also a fairly heterogeneous disease with unique and variable clinical features. Information on driver gene mutations is rather limited, and work to discover therapeutic targets for HCC is ongoing. Various approaches have been tried to dissect the molecular pathogenesis of HCC and to identify molecular biomarkers useful for predicting patient outcome and response to therapy. This session summarizes the present situation and challenges of HCC research and discusses future directions that may help us to successfully overcome this highly malignant disease. 10:30 a.m. Molecular pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma Lars Zender, University Hospital Tuebingen, Tuebingen, Germany 10:50 a.m. Discussion 10:55 a.m. Molecular pathology of human hepatocellular carcinoma Michiie Sakamoto, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan Chairperson: David J. Kwiatkowski, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA Multiple genome-wide analyses of genetic events in invasive bladder cancer have recently been reported, highlighting both kinase-activating mutations and other mechanisms of activation in FGFR3, ERBB2, and ERBB3; and activating and inactivating mutations in the PI3KmTOR pathway (PIK3CA, PTEN, TSC1). Furthermore, multiple cell cycle and chromatin regulatory gene mutations are seen in the majority of invasive bladder cancer. In addition, metabolic changes in metastatic bladder cancer have been identified which are similar to those seen in glycogen storage disease. These findings introduce a new era in bladder cancer research in which therapies targeting these alterations should be tested in genotype-restricted patient populations. In this session, these recent findings will be reviewed in detail with an eye toward therapeutic strategies. 10:30 a.m. Genomic insights from the TCGA analysis and therapeutic targets in invasive bladder cancer David J.

Korsmeyer Memorial Symposium: Targeting the Death Pathway in Cancer Chairperson: Loren D. Walensky, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA Stan Korsmeyer embodied laser-focused commitment to making a difference for cancer patients by transforming mechanistic discoveries of the apoptotic pathway into blueprints for cancer drug development. As important as the science he discovered was the manner in which he discovered it. Stan’s sincerity, integrity, creative insight, serious work ethic, and meticulous attention to detail were among the drivers of his scientific success. Above all, Stan was a cherished leader, mentor, colleague, friend, husband, and father. The 2014 Stanley J. Korsmeyer Memorial Symposium will honor Stan’s accomplishments and legacy by examining the present and future of the cell death field. A seemingly limitless sea of apoptosis discovery continues to provide new hope for nextgeneration therapeutics that will effectively reactivate cell death to realize cancer cures. The 2014 symposium speakers will emphasize novel aspects of the proteins and protein interactions that comprise the apoptotic pathway. Stan’s emphasis on new technologies, multidisciplinary studies, and scientific open-mindedness serve as the inspiration for this year’s presentations. 10:30 p.m. Introduction 10:40 p.m. Dissecting the canonical and noncanonical interactions of the BCL-2 family for therapeutic benefit Loren D.

Garraway, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA Chairperson: Mark E. Davis, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA Recent years have witnessed an explosion of cancer genome characterization that has propelled the discovery of new cancer genes and revealed multiple insights into tumor biology. Increasingly, this knowledge is providing a framework for novel therapeutic development. This symposium will provide an overview of recent discoveries that have emerged from cancer genomics studies in representative hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. In a growing number of cases, the tumorigenic mechanisms enacted by these cancer gene mutations are beginning to be elucidated. Furthermore, examples will be presented for how this information is expanding avenues for dissecting therapeutic resistance and implementing personalized or “precision” cancer medicine. Nanotechnology is being exploited to create new methodologies for the diagnoses and treatments of cancer. In this session, we will explore the theme of how nanotechnology is being used to provide new methods for the diagnoses (and monitoring of cancer patients), and new approaches to therapy based on nanoparticle therapeutics. Emphasis will be placed on results from clinical studies and whether they have been predictive from cell/animal data. Additionally, issues of importance for translating nanotechnology into approved products for patient use will be discussed. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. Systematic genomic studies of tumor biology and therapeutic resistance Levi A.

R. Dent, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Smithville, TX Chairperson: Mary Helen Barcellos-Hoff, New York University, New York, NY Alterations in DNA methylation and chromatin organization are often associated with oncogenesis, and much effort is currently directed at developing therapies to reset aberrant epigenetic states. This session will present the latest advances in our understanding of the normal functions of histone-modifying enzymes, regulators of DNA methylation, and ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers, as well as disruptions of these functions that contribute to cancer development and progression. The concept of the tumor microenvironment (TME) recognizes that the interplay between cancer cells and stromal cells is a crucial determinant of cancer growth. Understanding the carcinogenic process as a partnership of aberrant host cells and cancer cells is critical for cancer prevention. Recent initiatives focused on the biology of stromal cells that contribute to tumor growth and survival have produced new strategies to control established cancer. The last decade has generated a detailed roster of host cells that participate in the establishment and progression of malignancy. This symposium will discuss new data on the contribution of specific signals and host cells from inception of cancer to development of metastasis and the potential for therapeutically targeting the distinctive behaviors of stromal cells under the influence of cancer cells. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. A SAGA of GCN5 and USP22 in stem cells and cancer Sharon Y.

Chairperson: Elizabeth M. Jaffee, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD We are in a new era of approvals of immune-based therapies that include vaccines for cancer prevention and agents that block signals that inhibit effective anticancer immunity. These groundbreaking examples have opened the floodgates for immunotherapies that target both traditionally “immunogenic” and “nonimmunogeneic” cancers. This revolution in immunotherapy is the result of recent advances in the identification of new targets for developing cancer vaccines, and new signaling pathways for developing agents that convert the suppressive tumor microenvironment into one that supports anticancer immunity. This symposium will highlight these recent advances and the future expectations for immunotherapies that prevent cancer. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. Vaccine-induced immunity against cancer genes to prevent and treat pancreatic cancer Elizabeth M.

Guidry Auvil, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, and Jean C. Zenklusen, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD The NCI’s Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG), which includes the Office of Cancer Genomics and The Cancer Genome Atlas Program Office, provides the research community access to large-scale molecular characterization data, which is largely sequence-based. CCG programs aim to improve patient outcome through identification of valid molecular targets and associated molecular markers (prognostic or diagnostic), in and across diseases investigated, which should ultimately lead to the rapid development of novel, more effective therapies. Current CCG initiatives include the Cancer Genome Characterization Initiative (CGCI; http://ocg.cancer.gov/programs/cgci), Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET; http://ocg.cancer.gov/programs/target), and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; http://cancergenome.nih.gov). The project web pages include details of the studies, as well as information on how to access the data generated. TARGET and TCGA are comprehensive genome-wide molecular characterization initiatives to discover the molecular changes that drive the development and progression of certain childhood and adult cancers. The session will report briefly on program missions and goals of the CCG initiatives, discuss published results, as well as outline various ways for the broad research community to access genomics data including next-generation sequencing. TARGET investigators will highlight discoveries and lessons learned from the projects in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and neuroblastoma. TCGA researchers will additionally provide overviews of recent publications: Comprehensive Molecular Characterization of Gastric Adenocarcinoma, which described four subtypes emerging from a “cluster of clusters” analysis, Comprehensive Molecular Characterization of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma, which found that metabolic shift correlated with tumor stage and severity, Diversity of Lung Adenocarcinoma Revealed by Integrative Molecular Profiling, which uncovered changes that may expand the number of potential molecular targets, and The Somatic Genomic Landscape of Glioblastoma, which analyzed of the genomic data generated from 590 GBM cases.

Chang, Amgen, Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA, and Eric H. Rubin, Merck Research Laboratories, North Wales, PA Advances in high-fidelity, low-cost genome sequencing technology have accelerated the molecular characterization of tumors, creating both an opportunity and imperative to incorporate tumor genomic or gene expression information in drug development. The desired outcome is the ability to match the drug to the patient population, thus avoiding unnecessary treatment and at the same time maximizing the likelihood of deriving a clinically meaningful benefit. Strategies to detect treatment effects by simultaneously testing multiple targeted investigational drugs in parallel have been employed in recent years. Examples of these studies include the I-SPY 2 TRIAL (Investigation of Serial Studies to Predict Your Therapeutic Response with Imaging and Molecular Analysis 2), the NCI’s MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) study, and the Lung Master Protocol. Although these studies range from early exploratory studies to mature registration protocols, they share some common innovative features. These innovations include improvements in trial design that result in efficiencies related to screen failures and the need for multiple biopsies from an individual patient. The ultimate goal of these novel trial designs is to mitigate the complicated, expensive, and often inefficient processes employed in traditional registration studies in our current era of constrained resources. This session will discuss the design and implementation of nontraditional multi-armed studies in early and late stages of drug development and how these can be more widely adopted. A panel discussion moderated by David Chang, Amgen, and audience Q and A will follow the presentations. Overview of novel multi-arm studies Eric H.

Hutter, National Cancer Institute-NHGRI, Rockville, MD, and Stefanie A. Nelson, National Cancer Institute-DCCPS, Bethesda, MD Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of common genetic variants associated with cancer risk, and new variants are being discovered as the field moves to incorporate data from next-generation sequencing studies. Understanding cancer risk and carcinogenesis, particularly for variants in noncoding and unannotated regions of the genome, will require integration of a broad range of data types, including data from the germline and somatic (tumor) genomes, gene expression, and epigenetic data. The session will describe NCI resources for post-GWAS research, with a focus on activities occurring in the Genetic Associations and Mechanisms in Oncology (GAME-ON) project and will also explore strategies for and tools needed to integrate multiple data types, challenges for identifying causal variants, how to begin to understand variant function and impact on the phenotype, and the potential clinical translation of research results. A key step in post-GWAS research is pooled analysis to identify additional novel loci and fine-map identified genetic regions of interest. To this end the international OncoArray Consortium has developed a customized genotyping array of >560,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which will be applied to 425,000 samples comprising patients affected with breast, ovarian, prostate, lung, and head and neck cancer and controls. GAME-ON investigators have a leading role in this consortium, with NCI is providing approximately half of the funding. When completed, the OncoArray Consortium analysis will allow for comprehensive assessment of the genetic architecture of common cancers and facilitate comparative studies among cancer types. Understanding the biological impact of common variants on cancer risk is another leading goal of post-GWAS research. Tumor molecular data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), information on regulatory features and gene expression data from ENCODE and GTEx, and epigenetic data from NIH’s Epigenetic RoadMap project, are being mined to understand risk variant function. Integrative analysis of multiple data types can facilitate interpretation, prioritization of loci for follow up, and development of biological hypothesis. To evaluate the function of risk loci, a range of experimental assays area also needed. GAME-ON investigators have established multicenter collaborations to develop effective strategies to systematically address questions about variant function. A final step in the post-GWAS continuum is investigating epidemiologic and clinical applications of GWAS findings. This involves novel approaches for large-scale, harmonized, studies of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. It also involves developing and evaluating genetic risk prediction models, and exploring the role of common variation in survival and other clinical outcomes. Such work provides a solid basis for expediting clinical translation and public health dissemination of GWAS and post-GWAS findings. This session will provide an overview of NCI efforts in post-GWAS research. Talks will describe recent advances and lessons learned, and will include information on resources of use to the scientific community. The session will also highlight future directions for research in the postGWAS era.

Lyden, Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY Exosomes and microvesicles are small spherical membrane fragments shed by various cell types during physiological processes. Increasing attention has been focused on the role of exosomes and microparticles in malignant progression and metastasis. Recent studies have revealed selective packaging of proteins, lipids, and genetic material, such as mRNAs, miRNAs, and DNA, into exosomes and microvesicles. Thus, exosomes can mediate the horizontal transfer of these functional molecules into recipient cells promoting their “education” in migration, angiogenesis and pro-metastatic properties. Many types of tumor cells can secrete large amounts of exosomes and microparticles in circulation. In this session, we will address the use of tumor exosomes and their particular signatures (i.e., proteins, lipids, and genes) as potential biomarkers for prognostic and diagnostic means, as well as the possibility as targets for specific therapeutic development. We will address the complexities of identifying tumor exosomes and microparticles and their functional properties as compared to other stromal-derived particles in circulation. We will also compare the strengths of exosome and microparticle as unique biomarkers in contrast to other circulating biomarkers, such as circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA. 1:00 p.m. Tumor-derived exosomes promote premetastatic niche formation and organotropism David C.

Prostate Cancer in 2014 Chairperson: Johann S. de Bono, Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, United Kingdom Prostate cancer has been described as “the Cinderella Cancer.” The commonest male cancer and the second commonest killer from cancer after lung cancer in the Western world, this is a complex heterogeneous disease. Frequently driven, and maybe partly caused by, androgen receptor signaling, treatment for this disease has largely focused on endocrine therapeutic strategies. The last decade has resulted in major progress in our understanding of the pathogenesis, molecular pathology, and treatment of prostate cancer. This session will focus on describing these advances and what the future holds for prostate cancer science and medicine. 1:00 p.m. What have we learned about the molecular pathology of prostate cancer?

Wolin, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNETs), arising from the diffuse neuroendocrine system, are a heterogeneous group of malignancies, markedly increasing in incidence and prevalence. Neuroendocrine cancers have become the second most prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy in the United States, second only to colon cancer. Nevertheless, we are just starting to understand the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors, and to develop potentially effective therapies. Most neuroendocrine tumors express G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors, which have become important targets for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Therapies directed at the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, antiangiogenics, and tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitors are also being widely studied. This session will focus on advances in molecular biology and genomics that are revolutionizing the treatment and diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors, and stimulating new directions in research. 1:00 p.m. The somatostatin receptor as a target for diagnosis and therapy of neuroendocrine tumors Edward M.

Tuveson, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY Pancreatic cancer is a lethal disease that strikes without warning and responds poorly to therapies. Improved approaches of modeling pancreatic cancer offer the opportunity to delve more deeply into the basic biology and medical applications for this disease, and will be discussed here. For example, recent studies have shown that the epigenetic alterations in pancreatic cancer cells play important roles in tumorigenesis and will be highlighted as potential therapeutic targets. In addition, new diagnostic methods that can detect the disease in its earliest stages will be described, for potential applications as early detection methods in high-risk patients. Finally, new means to trigger a specific immune response to pancreatic cancer cells will be demonstrated, with promising clinical applications. An improved future for our patients will be dependent upon scientific breakthroughs such as those covered in this session. 498 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 499 Tuesday, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Room 5, San Diego Convention Center 2:10 a.m. Discussion Pediatric Brain Tumors: Novel Molecular Insights and Preclinical Studies 2:15 a.m. Pediatric medulloblastoma: Mouse models and preclinical studies Martine F.

Roussel, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN Recent large-scale genomic and transcriptomic analysis of pediatric brain tumors revealed a relatively small number of genetic aberrations in known genes and cancer pathways and unexpectedly uncovered mutations in genes that control the epigenome. New genetic discoveries have enabled development of improved mouse models, now being used in preclinical studies to identify novel therapeutically relevant drugs and small molecules. The four speakers in this session will address the development of mouse models and their use in preclinical studies, as well as the identification of key genetic and epigenetic regulators driving tumorigenesis. 1:00 a.m. MYC and medulloblastoma William A.

Pardoll, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baltimore, MD Chairperson: John Petrini, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY Recent dramatic clinical responses via blockade of immune checkpoints have opened the door to a broad vision for cancer immunotherapy. Basic immunology has identified roughly twenty ligand receptor interactions with potential relevance to cancer immune resistance. As with the PD-1 pathway, other immunomodulating pathways are likely operative within the immune microenvironment. Following Sutton’s Law, we find that direct profiling of the immune microenvironment of cancer reveals histology selective and individual tumor specific patterns on co-expression of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory pathways. These analyses drive the development of combinatorial immunotherapies linked to biomarker assessment and thereby individualized to each patient’s tumor. The DNA damage response is an inducible barrier to tumorigenesis. It comprises the integrated activities of DNA repair, DNA damage signaling, apoptosis, and cell cycle checkpoints. The four speakers in this session will touch upon each of these functional categories, with an emphasis on the relationship between the DNA damage response network and DNA replication stress, such as that induced by oncogene activation or replication blocking DNA lesions. This crucial relationship underlies the ability of the DNA damage response network to suppress tumorigenesis, and is often compromised in diseases associated with increased cancer risk. 1:00 p.m. Introduction 1:10 p.m. Therapeutic targets and biomarkers revealed through profiling of the tumor immune microenvironment Drew M.

Green, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN Chairperson: Scott A. Armstrong, Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center, New York, NY While avoidance of cell death is widely understood as a “hallmark” of cancer, little is known about nonapoptotic cell death and its control in the oncogenic process. In this session, we will overview forms of active cell death that are not apoptosis, but are under molecular control. These include necroptosis, which is driven by the functions of RIP kinases; autosis, which is promoted by molecular events linked to autophagy; and entosis, in which living cells are engulfed and destroyed. Cuttingedge research into these cell death processes and their implications for cancer will be discussed. Protein complexes that regulate chromatin structure and gene expression (epigenetic regulators) play a critical role in cancer development and maintenance. Recent studies have demonstrated that small molecules targeting these complexes have significant efficacy against a number of cancers in preclinical studies. This has stimulated interest in a potential new class of cancer therapeutics. Indeed, clinical trials are underway to assess novel small molecules that target these mechanisms. The presentations in this session will cover a number of approaches that are being taken to understand the mechanisms of action of complexes that control gene expression, and to characterize the latest small molecules that inhibit these mechanisms. 1:00 p.m. Introduction 1:10 p.m. RIP kinases and caspases in development Douglas R.

Hahn, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA Although direct targeting of oncogenic drivers is a key strategy in developing targeted therapies, the acquisition of genetic alterations during oncogenesis induces fundamental alterations in cell physiology. In some cases, these changes lead to new dependencies that may be exploited therapeutically. This symposium will focus on recent work to use directed and open-ended approaches to identify codependencies, which may form the basis of novel combination therapies. Chairperson: Jacqueline Lees, MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, Cambridge, MA This session focuses on the GI restriction point and particularly the retinoblastoma protein-cell cycle kinase pathway, which controls cellular proliferation and is a target of mutation within the majority of human tumors. The talks will describe retinoblastoma protein functions that are cell cycle kinase sensitive versus resistant, discuss the role of this pathway in normal development and cancer, and address the efficacy of cell cycle kinase inhibition as a cancer treatment. 1:00 p.m. Introduction 1:10 p.m. GI restriction point mechanism and therapy Jacqueline Lees, MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, Cambridge, MA 1:00 p.m. Introduction 1:10 p.m. Functional genomics and cancer dependencies William C.

Amado, GlaxoSmithKline, Collegeville, PA The advent of highly active anticancer therapy in molecularly segmented malignancies is fueling the evolution of clinical trials design. Phase 1 studies are evolving from sequential dose escalation in patients with advanced malignancies using toxicity and clinical pharmacology endpoints to the evaluation of maximum biological activity in patients with molecularly selected tumor types. Evidence of target engagement and clinical efficacy in a molecularly defined disease segment are key aims of modern Phase I studies. Activity in specific disease segments can be quickly followed by definitive trials. Definitive trials involve the use of molecular testing, and generally require relatively small sample sizes to observe larger than historical treatment effects. This session will deal with innovative trial designs in oncology with an emphasis in molecular selection and use of multiplex assay testing to access rare disease segments, selection of endpoints in randomized trials, and designs to ascertain the role of novel combinations. 1:00 p.m. Introduction 1:10 p.m. New trends in drug development in oncology Rafael G.

Multiple assays and tests are currently in use to optimize treatment by matching patients to appropriate targeted therapies. These results may also be used to screen patients for clinical trials of targeted agents, thus potentially creating a sample bias in the patient population accrued into a study. This is particularly challenging in studies that seek to determine the safety and efficacy of not only the therapeutic but also establish the analytic and clinical validity of the diagnostic. The recent FDA clearance of a high-throughput DNA sequencer presents new opportunities as well as regulatory challenges. Further, as more of these platforms are expected to get cleared for marketing in the near future and the cost of sequencing falls, individual patients will be able to gain access to their tumor sequence more easily, and overall guidance is of significance. This session will discuss the importance of best practices to establish analytic and clinical validation of diagnostic tests, while acknowledging the rapidly advancing technical progress in sequencing technology. The session will discuss: 1) how to establish practices that balance clinical trial accrual such that prescreened, biomarker-positive patients are not overrepresented, 2) how to establish standards and operating procedures to validate actionable mutations for NGS panels, 3) how individual loci within a screening panel can be validated to gain approval as a companion diagnostic, 4) how new loci/variants can be integrated into a testing or screening panel, 5) how levels of evidence can be established for rare variants such that analytic and clinical validation of these can be established in a reasonable time frame, and 6) how use of screening versus testing panels can be established in the clinical setting such that patients receive the best targeted treatments. A panel discussion moderated by Laura van ‘t Veer, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and audience Q and A will follow the presentations.

Boger, PhD Chairman and Richard & Alice Cramer Professor of Chemistry Department of Chemistry, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA The AACR and its Chemistry in Cancer Research Working Group established the Outstanding Achievement in Chemistry in Cancer Research Award in 2007 to recognize the importance of chemistry in advancing cancer research. The Award is presented for outstanding, novel chemistry research that has led to significant contributions to the fields of basic or translational cancer research, cancer diagnosis, prevention, or clinical cancer treatments and therapeutics. extraction techniques to isolate and purify libraries. His work led to the founding of CombiChem, a successful combinatorial chemistry company sold to DuPont. He provided a total synthesis of distamycin A and library of its analogs through the solution-phase approach. He then developed rapid, high-throughput screens for determining relative DNA binding affinity and DNA binding sequence selectivity of the libraries that revealed novel DNA binding agents. Dr. Dale L. Boger, currently Richard and Alice Cramer Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, is honored for his development of elegant and highly dependable synthetic methods to construct numerous naturally ocurring highly potent anticancer agents. His work is characterized by the pursuit of detailed structurefunction relationships of natural or designed agents in order to understand the fundamental structural bases of their anticancer properties. In these studies Dr. Boger’s group addresses the challenging problem of understanding the beautiful solutions and subtle design elements that nature has provided in the form of a natural product and endeavors to extend the solution through rational design elements to provide more selective, more efficacious, or more potent agents designed specifically for the problem or target under investigation. Dr. Boger has received numerous awards including the 1988 American Chemical Society A.C. Cope Scholar Award, 2002 Paul Janssen Prize for Creativity in Organic Synthesis, 2003 Royal Society of Chemistry Adrien Albert Medal, 2007 American Chemical Society Ernest Guenther Award in the Chemistry of Natural Products, and the 2013 American Chemical Society Hirschmann Award in Peptide Chemistry. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2009), and is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (2010). Dr. Boger’s group is particularly recognized for his many contributions to unravelling the complex properties of the sequence-specific DNA alkylating natural products such as CC-1065, duocarmycins, bleomycin A2, sandramycin, luzopeptins, and isochrysohermidin. A number of the potent antitumor agents he has synthesized are being used in antibody-drug conjugates, which are finding widespread use in cancer drug discovery. Dr. Boger’s seminal contributions to combinatorial chemistry include the use of solution-phase library synthesis. He devised liquid-liquid and liquid-solid April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA Beyond Dr. Boger’s specific contributions to the cancer research community, the broader scientific community has benefitted: He has educated over 50 PhD students and over 150 postdoctoral associates who now conduct important work in their own right, and he was the founder and remains the Editor-in-Chief of Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, a journal where important findings in cancer research are presented. Dr. Boger earned his BSc at the University of Kansas in 1975 and earned his PhD in Organic Chemsitry with E.J. Corey at Harvard in 1980. Following his PhD, he returned to the University of Kansas in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry from 1979-1985. He then moved his research group to the Chemistry Department at Purdue University from 1985-1990 when he moved to The Scripps Research Institute. 543 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 544 AACR-ACS AWARD LECTURE Tuesday, 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Ballroom 20A-C, San Diego Convention Center Twenty-Third Annual AACR-American Cancer Society Award for Research Excellence in Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Integration of Cancer Epidemiology and Biomarkers in Precision Cancer Medicine Curtis C. Harris, MD Chief, Laboratory of Human Carcinogenesis National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD The AACR and the American Cancer Society established this Award in 1992 to honor outstanding research accomplishments in the fields of cancer epidemiology, biomarkers, and prevention. Dr. Curtis C. Harris is honored for his exceptional career in molecular cancer epidemiology, cancer biomarkers, and cancer prevention. Among his contributions to molecular cancer epidemiology is the first molecular link between an environmental carcinogen, aflatoxin B1, and a specific mutation at codon 249 of the TP53 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma. This discovery was selected by the AACR as a Centennial Landmark in Cancer Research. He pioneered investigation of carcinogen metabolism, DNA damage, and DNA repair among humans and their tissues, and explored the quantitative analysis of p53 mutations in human tissues and plasma prior to cancer in tobacco smokers and in chronic inflammation. His work on p53 function in the regulation of DNA repair, apoptosis, and cellular senescence is particularly important. These and other contributions made by Dr. Harris’ studies substantially contributed to the concepts of cancer risk assessment and geneenvironment interactions in cancer epidemiology and were crucial in the development of molecular cancer epidemiology as a mature discipline. One particularly important aspect of Dr. Harris’ studies is chronic inflammation. He showed that increased levels of circulating interleukin 6, interleukin 8, C-reactive protein, and MBL2 (all markers of inflammation) were associated with risk, diagnosis, and prognosis of lung cancer patients. He identified microRNAs associated with both diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer and the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic outcome of colon cancer. In addition, he was first to discover that 544 expression of combinations of microRNAs and proteincoding genes (e.g., inflammation-related) produced by human lung, colon, and esophageal carcinomas are robust cancer prognostic classifiers. These studies identified early-stage lung and colon cancers that have poor prognoses due to the likelihood of undetected micrometastasis. In parallel to these biomarker studies, he and collaborators investigated inflammatory mediators in cellular and animal model studies and in clinical studies. Dr. Harris’ exceptional record of research accomplishment includes over 60,000 citations, and an H-factor of over 115. He was awarded the AACR Princess Takamatsu Award, the Ochsner Award relating Smoking and Health from the American College of Physicians, the Deichmann Award from the International Union of Toxicology, and the Distinguished Service Medal - the highest honor of the U.S. Public Health Service. He has served in leadership posts in the scientific community, such as: Chairman of the Program Committee of the AACR Annual Meeting; member of the AACR’s Board of Directors, Chairman of the Board of Directors; and Chairman of the Scientific Program Advisory Board for the Keystone Symposia of Molecular and Cellular Biology. He is also the Editor-in Chief of the journal Carcinogenesis. He has successfully mentored more than 100 young scientists and received the NCI Outstanding Mentor Award. AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 545 MAJOR SYMPOSIUM Tuesday, 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Room 1, San Diego Convention Center AACR-JCA Joint Symposium: Inflammation in Gastric Cancer Co-Chairpersons: James G. Fox, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, and Masanori Hatakeyama, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan The AACR and the Japanese Cancer Association (JCA) are pleased to jointly present this symposium focused on inflammation and gastric cancer. Gastric cancer continues to contribute significantly to cancer mortality, being the fourth most common malignancy and the secondleading cause of cancer-related deaths, accounting for 10% of total cancer deaths worldwide. Like other cancers, gastric cancer develops through a multistep process, the progression of which is variably influenced by host genetic factors and environmental factors. Among those, the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is the strongest risk factor, playing a critical role in the development of non-cardia gastric cancer, both intestinal and diffuse types. Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the role of inflammation in promoting carcinogenesis and, indeed, there is little doubt about the role of chronic inflammation as a driving force of gastric carcinogenesis. This session will highlight new findings that provide molecular and functional links between inflammation and gastric cancer, particularly focusing on H. pylori factors, host immune responses, the intestinal microbiome, and genetic/epigenetic changes that underlie gastric carcinogenesis. 3:00 p.m. Role of Helicobacter pylori CagA in inflammation and carcinogenesis Masanori Hatakeyama, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan 3:25 p.m. Discussion 3:30 p.m. COX-2/PGE2 pathway-associated inflammation in gastric tumorigenesis Masanobu Oshima, Kanazawa University Cancer Research Institute, Kanazawa, Japan 3:55 p.m. Discussion 4:00 p.m. The gastric cancer connection: Helicobacter pylori, helminths, and the intestinal microbiome James G.

Britten, BioNTech AG, Mainz, Germany, and Sjoerd H. Van Der Burg, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands Currently there are a number of immunotherapeutic approaches delivering clinical success in the treatment of cancer (Adoptive Cell Transfer = ACT, immune modulatory antibodies, vaccines, immune-receptor-engineered lymphocytes), which in fact all are based on naturally occurring or “synthetic/engineered” T cell responses. Good evidence accumulates that tumor-specific T cell responses (mutations, newly expressed antigens, viral antigens) or synthetically engineered T cell responses (CARs or affinity matured TCs) rather than naturally occurring T cell responses to typically shared tumor-associated antigens may be more potent. This session focuses on modulation and deciphering tumor-specific T cells in clinically active therapies.

Burchenal Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement in Clinical Cancer Research GvHD vs. GvL… and the Winner Is? John F. DiPersio, MD, PhD Chief, Division of Oncology Deputy Director, Siteman Cancer Center Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO The Joseph H. Burchenal Memorial Award was established in 1996 to recognize outstanding achievements in the field of clinical cancer research. It is named for the late Dr. Joseph H. Burchenal, honorary member and past president of the American Association for Cancer Research and pioneer in the development of chemotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Dr. John F. DiPersio is honored for his outstanding clinical-translational research that has produced multiple advances related to understanding and treating acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Dr. DiPersio is the Virginia E. and Sam J. Golman, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Oncology at Washington University School of Medicine, and the Deputy Director of Siteman Cancer Center. Dr. DiPersio has approached treatment of AML from several aspects. He has studied mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy in AML, focusing on the role of the microenvironment. He has identified factors in the microenvironment that contribute to chemoresistance and worked on an approach to release leukemia cells from that microenvironment by blocking the chemokine receptor CXCR4. His studies have shown that mobilization of AML cells using plerixafor (AMD3100) increases senstivity to chemotherapy. A Phase I/II clinical trial testing this hypothesis is ongoing, combining plerixafor with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine. In a second important aspect of his research, Dr. DiPersio has supported and been a Project Leader in the Washington University “Genomics of AML” program, which has accomplished so much in unlocking the molecular origins of leukemia. A series of mutations have been identified in sequencing studies of AML samples. Dr. DiPersio has particularly focused on genomic and transcriptional aberrations in chemotherapy and April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA allogeneic T cell resistant AML cells. It is hoped that these studies will identify mutations or alterations in gene expression that confer resistance alone or in combination with other factors. Identification of specific targets raises the hope of developing small molecules or antibodies against those targets. Finally, Dr. DiPersio studied in clinical trials a series of small molecules for their activity in AML and the related myelodysplastic syndrome. These molecules include, among others, epigenetic agents, mTOR inhibitors, and kinase inhibitors. He has also studied graft vs. host disease, in an effort to mitigate that complication of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. These different approaches to improving the therapy of AML represent a body of work that has moved the field forward, identifying new targets for treatment, and studies to reduce toxicity of therapy. Dr. DiPersio received his medical degree from The University of Rochester, and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, TX, and then completed a fellowship in the Division of Hematology/Oncology at the UCLA School of Medicine. He has received multiple honors and awards, and has served on numerous review panels, study sections, and advisory boards. He was chosen to speak in the NIH Great Teacher Series. Dr. DiPersio, a member of the AACR, is also known as an excellent teacher and mentor. He has trained numerous students and fellows, and has consistently obtained NCI and other organizational grant funding. Together, these efforts at bringing new ideas and discoveries to the clinic emulate the work of Dr. Burchenal in persistently translating basic research to the bedside. 557 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 558 AACR ROSENTHAL AWARD LECTURE Tuesday, 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Room 20A-C, San Diego Convention Center Thirty-Eighth Annual AACR Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Memorial Award Realizing the Potential of Cancer Immunotherapy Jedd D. Wolchok, MD, PhD Lloyd J. Old/Ludwig Chair in Clinical Investigation Chief, Melanoma and Immunotherapeutics Service Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY The American Association for Cancer Research and the Rosenthal Family Foundation originally established this award in 1977 to recognize research that has made notable contributions to improving clinically based cancer care. In an effort to honor and provide incentive to early investigators, the foundation has restricted award recipients to the age of 50 years at the time the award is presented. Dr. Jedd D. Wolchok is honored for his contributions to the development of progressively effective immunotherapies for the treatment of melanoma. After studying fundamental mechanisms of antitumor immunity, autoimmunity, and self-tolerance with Alan Houghton, Dr. Wolchok embarked on a career in the experimental immunotherapy of cancer. He led clinical trials of anticancer vaccine immunotherapy, using DNAencoding xenogenic proteins, like tyrosinase present in most melanoma cells, to evade tumor antigen tolerance. Based on his work, this strategy garnered approval by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the treatment of melanoma in dogs, representing the first therapeutic cancer vaccine. for cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs proved inadequate for immunotherapy. The trial design and results were described in what has become a landmark paper in the New England Journal of Medicine. He has continued his work to improve anticancer immunotherapy, undertaking a trial of ipilumumab given along with nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor with a different target. Early trial results hint that this combination may be even more effective that ipilumumab alone, leading to a global phase 3 trial to be directed by Dr. Wolchok. Dr. Wolchok received a Bachelor’s degree from Princeton in 1987, and earned a Master’s degree in 1991, a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1993, and a medical degree in 1994 from New York University. He completed Internal Medicine residency training at NYU in 1996 and a fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in 2000. Dr. Wolchok earned international recognition for his critical role in the clinical development of ipilumumab, an antibody that undermines immune “checkpoints” to allow more robust activation of T cell responses to growing cancers. He served as the Principal Investigator for the pivotal phase 3 trial comparing ipilumumab and dacarbazine versus dacarbazine alone for metastatic melanoma that formed the basis for the approval of ipilumumab (as Yervoy(r)) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Conduct of the trial necessitated changes in the way subjects with metastatic melanoma were monitored for treatment efficacy versus treatment failure; the antitumor response criteria historically used 558 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 13_14AM_Tue_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:43 PM Page 559 FORUMS Room 6CF, San Diego Convention Center How to Achieve a Cancer Knowledge Commons Database of Cancer Genetics Moderator: Thomas J. Hudson, Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Toronto, ON, Canada The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, large-scale surveys of cancer genomes, and targeted therapies are driving rapid changes in how cancer is diagnosed and treated. As the implementation of clinical sequencing is rolling out in clinical research and health care organizations, many challenges are being identified related to the management and interpretation of the data. The research community believes that it would be useful to prospectively archive all mutation data in databases along with clinical information to accelerate the expansion of knowledge regarding clinical and functional significance of these new mutations. In this session, speakers will discuss emerging solutions in data analysis pipelines, data storage, and computer technologies, integration of clinical and sequence datasets and models for data sharing among research and healthcare organizations to enable secure and responsible sharing of genomic and clinical data.

Doroshow, National Cancer Institute-DCTD, Bethesda, MD The focus of the session is on understanding the role of identifying a range of molecular lesions, including genetic mutations, amplifications, and translocations, as well as other measures of cancer gene function, in predicting the therapeutic efficacy of molecularly targeted anticancer agents. It will provide specific examples of several ongoing clinical studies that are attempting to match patient treatment with specific drugs based on molecular testing, including DNA sequencing of tumors, as well as the role of the April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA Tuesday, 5:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m. multidisciplinary teams needed for these efforts. The session will also review the regulatory requirements for developing new diagnostic platforms that play a central role in support of clinical trials that use the techniques of precision medicine to speed the evaluation of novel targeted cancer therapeutics. Panel: Jeffrey M. Trent, Translational Genomics Research Institute, Phoenix, AZ Pamela L. Bradley, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD Room 6A, San Diego Convention Center Screening for Lung Cancer: Do We Know the Way Forward? Moderator: Robert Smith, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, GA In 2010, the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated the efficacy of lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for individuals at very high risk of the disease. Since then a growing number of organizations have issued guidelines supportive of lung cancer screening in adults that approximate the participation requirements of the NLST. Although the evidence is convincing, it needs to be appreciated that organizations issuing new lung cancer screening guidelines are doing so with limited information from the NLST and incomplete data from ongoing randomized controlled trials in Europe and elsewhere. This early in the implementation phase of lung cancer screening, there is uncertainty about cost effectiveness, capacity, expertise, the prevalence of expert, multispecialty groups in the U.S. to provide lung cancer screening and follow up, and to do so with a high level of quality. Finally, there is no broad consensus that the NLST target population is the appropriate group to invite to screening, with some arguing that it is too constrained, and others too inclusive. The forum will address these issues, and highlight what they share in common with other cancer screening tests. Panel: Christine Dorothy Berg, George Mason University, Bethesda, MD Peter P.

Moderator: David R. Gius, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a new technique that allows for the delivery of very high (or ablative) doses of radiation, usually in several large fractions (hypofractionated) that is delivered using by multiple coplanar and non-coplanar treat beams that are aligned using a small CT scanner that is directly attached to the linear accelerator, referred to as a cone beam CT (CBCT). This irradiation technique allows for the delivery of ablative doses of focused radiation that also allows of the maximal sparing of normal tissues. However, this precise method to treat lung, as well as other tumors, involves very different treatment techniques and the biology of ionizing radiation-induced tumor cell cytotoxicity is different than conventional fractionated irradiation. These issues will be discussed as well as the potential to use SBRT to treat other tumors that should allow for local control while decrease long-term radiation-induced side effects. Panel: J.
