There is an urgent need for an understanding of these diseases and for the development of effective treatments. NCI investigators have clinical expertise in rare cancers and GTPS, and the NIH Clinical Center infrastructure allows for the conduct of complex clinical trials for children and adults with rare diseases using a multidisciplinary approach. In addition, CCR investigators have expertise in basic studies of rare diseases including genomic and molecular studies. However, better integration between these two disciplines is needed in order to more effectively translate potential new therapies both from bench to bedside and from bedside to bench. The goal of the newly formed NCI Rare Tumors Initiative is to foster closer collaborations between basic and clinical scientists and patient advocacy groups in the field of rare diseases to provide better characterization of rare tumors, and facilitate the development of therapeutic approaches. Knowledge gained from this initiative can also be applied to common cancers that have similar molecular alterations. The overarching strategy is to combine and leverage the talents of intramural investigators with expertise in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, imaging, tumor models, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, biomarkers, and clinical trial development and execution. The initial focus of this initiative is to conduct small pilot studies focused on Ras-related tumors, in particular neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-related plexiform neurofibromas, and on non-Ras-related sarcomas, in particular desmoid tumors. Upon successful completion of the pilot phase, the scope of the Rare Tumors Initiative will broaden to include the study of additional rare tumors and will expand collaborations with intramural and extramural researchers and patient advocacy groups, with the goal to most effectively study rare diseases and develop effective therapies. This session will provide an overview of the NCI Rare Tumors Initiative, describe the ongoing pilot studies, current advances in performing mouse preclinical trials in tandem with human clinical trials, and regulatory aspects of the development of therapies for rare diseases.

National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD Brigitte Widemann, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD Karlyne Reilly, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD S. Percy Ivy, National Cancer Institute-DCTD, Rockville, MD Annette Bakker, Children’s Tumor Foundation, New York, NY Additional panelists to be announced April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA 287 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 288 MEET-THE-EXPERT SESSIONS Room 6B, San Diego Convention Center Big Data and Technology: Transforming Cancer Care and Research Lynda Chin, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX It is opportune time now to consider leverages of big data science and analytic as well as mobile technologies to improve the effectiveness of cancer care and research. Our n-of-all™ initiative is built on the premise that patient outcome can be improved in the short term if the best evidence-based care of today is delivered to all patients, irrespective of their access to a state-of-the-art cancer center. The vision of the n-of-all™ program is to enhance the effectiveness of cancer care and research through innovative solutions enabled by the big data revolution, advances in genomic and health IT technologies, and by a new culture of collaboration and cooperation between the research and clinical care enterprises in academia, as well as with industry collaborators. To establish initial proof-of-principles of this approach, we launched an n-of-all™ pilot project in leukemia to create the APOLLO (Adaptive PatientOriented Longitudinal Learning and Optimization) platform and to develop the first Oncology Expert Advisor™ powered by IBM-Watson. developmental, genes with promoter region, “bivalent” chromatin. This chromatin, encompassing both transcriptionally active and repressive marks, modulates genes key to the maintenance of the stem cell state and which are vulnerable for evolving epigenetic abnormalities during tumor progression. Cancer risk states, such as chronic inflammation, can induce shifts in transcriptionally repressive protein complexes to promoters of these genes. One exciting research area involves recognition of many frequent mutations in genes encoding regulators of the epigenome and working to understand the precise downstream consequences of these. All of this above biology is important to understand as a background to consider the building interest in employing “epigenetic and/or differentiation therapy” for cancer and for designing biomarker signatures to personalize these therapies for prediction of, and monitoring of, efficacies. Examples of promise for these approaches are emerging and will be discussed with particular excitement for using the approaches to block key oncogenic drives to cancer, such as for the C-MYC pathway, and for sensitizing patients to the latest strategies for immunotherapy. Room 7, San Diego Convention Center Computational Approaches to Functional Cancer Genomics Ballroom 20D, San Diego Convention Center The Cancer Epigenome: Translational Potential Stephen B. Baylin, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD Ever expanding genome-wide mapping studies are constantly enriching our knowledge base of normal and cancer “epigenomes.” More and more we appreciate that epigenetic abnormalities in cancer encompass DNA methylation and chromatin alterations throughout the genome, affecting not only canonical coding region gene promoters and gene bodies, but also enhancers, intergenic and many noncoding RNA regions. We also are learning that there are differential sensitivities for these regions to become abnormal throughout all steps in tumorigenesis. A key example is both losses and gains of DNA methylation which can be simultaneously biased to distinct genomic regions such as nuclear lamin enriched, late replicating DNA, and to low transcription, 288 Jill Mesirov, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA Advances in sequencing technologies and the development of new methods for acquiring biological data have changed the face of cancer genomics research. The use of computational approaches takes advantage of the availability of these data to develop new methods with the promise of improved understanding and treatment of disease. It is important to deliver practical, accessible software tools to bring these methods to the general cancer research community. I will describe some of these approaches that leverage functional data including our work integrating high-level clinical and genomic features to stratify pediatric brain tumor patients into groups with high and low risk of relapse after treatment. The approach provides a more accurate and biologically interpretable model than previous models, and represents one of the few such predictors that AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 289 Monday, 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. generalized to a completely independent patient cohort. I’ll also describe some more recent work on a method that may shed light on the relationships between genomic features and biological function. Finally, I will review the software that makes our methods available to the research community. Room 11, San Diego Convention Center DNA Damage Response and ARF-p53 Anticancer Barriers: Mechanisms, Defects, and Relevance for Chromosomal (In)stability, Tumorigenesis, and Treatment Jiri Bartek, Danish Cancer Society - Institute of Cancer Biology, Copenhagen, Denmark This presentation will first provide an overview of the current understanding about the cell-intrinsic barriers to activated oncogenes and tumor progression, with emphasis on the roles of the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery and the ARF-p53 tumor suppressor pathway. Topics to be covered will include: i) The nature of the “oncogenic/replication stress” insults that are sensed by DDR versus ARF; ii) Relative contributions of DDR vs. ARF and their mutual functional links in cancer development; iii) Cancer-associated defects in the DDR and ARF barriers and their impact on chromosomal instability and cancer biology; iv) Emerging impact of the DDR and ARF-p53 mechanisms on tumor heterogeneity and cell-fate plasticity; v) Implications of the status of the DDR machinery including DNA damage checkpoints and repair pathways, and the ARF-p53 pathway, for responses to standard-of-care and targeted therapies, and prospects for innovative treatment strategies in this area of cancer research. Room 29A-D, San Diego Convention Center From Molecules to Mice: The Role of Mutationally Activated BRAF in Tumor Initiation, Cancer Progression, and Pathway-Targeted Therapy In the past 12 years, BRAF has vaulted from the status of a relatively understudied regulator of cell signaling to a poster child for pathway-targeted cancer therapy. Furthermore, the invention of novel inhibitors of BRAF(V600E), the most commonly mutated form of BRAF, has revealed further unexpected features of how RAF kinases signal both in normal and cancer cells. Moreover, our growing understanding of the mechanisms of sensitivity or resistance to BRAF(V600E) inhibitors such as vemurafenib or dabrafenib in the clinic has sharpened focus on how BRAF(V600E) signals within the cell and what additional events influence the response of tumors to pathway-targeted blockade of the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway. This session will focus on the role of mouse models of BRAF(V600E)-driven cancer (both GEMMs and PDXs) in forging a more complete understanding of the role of mutationally activated BRAF in tumor initiation, cancer progression, and pathwaytargeted therapy. Room 28A-C, San Diego Convention Center Germline Genetic Testing and Risk Modeling in Patients and Populations Stephen B. Gruber, USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, Los Angeles, CA Germline genetic testing for cancer susceptibility is rapidly expanding to include large panels of highpenetrance genes with relatively low levels of experimental and clinical data to guide the interpretation of results. In addition, hundreds of low-penetrance susceptibility variants have been discovered in breast, prostate, colon, and other cancers that have the potential to augment genetic testing and risk stratification. In this session, advances in clinical genetic testing will be discussed to understand the current state of the art, the challenges of interpreting data from genes that have only recently been introduced into practice, and the opportunities to integrate supplemental genetic information from high density genotyping of very large (n=100,000) studies. Risk models that facilitate risk stratification for individual patients as well as large populations will be considered to optimize clinical and public health benefits. Martin McMahon, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, San Francisco, CA April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA 289 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 290 MEET-THE-EXPERT SESSIONS Room 1, San Diego Convention Center Room 5, San Diego Convention Center Hereditary Gastrointestinal Cancer in Minority Populations Recombinant Immunotoxins: From Conception to Clinical Reality in Mesothelioma and Leukemia Organized by the Minorities in Cancer Research (MICR) Council Marcia R. Cruz-Correa, University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center, San Juan, PR During this session we will discuss diagnosis and management of hereditary gastrointestinal cancer and the role of germline genetic testing and chemoprevention. In addition, we will discuss how familial registries provide a clinical and research infrastructure. Room 6CF, San Diego Convention Center PARP Inhibition: What Have We Learned? Ira Pastan, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD Recombinant immunotoxins are hybrid proteins consisting of an antibody fragment that binds to a cancer cell and a protein toxin that inhibits protein synthesis and kill cells resistant to cytotoxic drugs. In phase 1 trials with immunotoxin Moxetumomab pasudotox that targets CD22, we observed 48% complete responses in drug-resistant hairy cell leukemia and 24% in pediatric ALL. In a trial combining immunotoxin SS1P, that targets mesothelin, with immune-modulatory doses of pentostatin and Cytoxan, we observed profound and durable remissions in chemo-refractory mesothelioma patients with advanced bulky disease. Mechanisms responsible for these striking tumor responses will be discussed. Johann S. de Bono, Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, United Kingdom Several drugs targeting poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes are under development including olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, and BMN-673. Responses have been observed in patients with germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, with further data supporting antitumor activity of PARP inhibitors in some sporadic cancers including high-grade serous ovarian cancers. Strategies to identify somatic cell predictive biomarkers remain under investigation. Iniparib was also purported to be a PARP inhibitor that showed promising results in randomized phase II trials in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Negative results from a phase III study in this disease setting, however, tempered enthusiasm for this agent and recently data from in vitro experiments suggest that iniparib is not only structurally distinct from other described PARP inhibitors, but is also a poor inhibitor of PARP activity. In this presentation we will scrutinize the development of PARP inhibitors from preclinical studies to current ongoing trials, and identify and discuss the pitfalls in the development of anticancer drugs to prevent future late-stage trial failures. Room 25, San Diego Convention Center The Role of PI3-Kinaseδ,γ Inhibition in Hematological Malignancies Julian Adams, Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cambridge, MA The delta and gamma isoforms of phosphointositide-3kinase are highly expressed in both B and T cell malignancies. The discovery and development of IPI-145, a potent inhibitor of both δ and γ inhibit signaling to Akt which abrogates many proliferation and survival signals. IPI-145 is an experimental drug and currently in clinical trials to treat lymphoma and leukemia, and clinical data will be presented in the context of a mechanistic interpretation of action. Room 31A-C, San Diego Convention Center Targeting Genetic Drivers in Premalignancy Scott M. Lippman, UCSD Moores Cancer Center, La Jolla, CA Genetic drivers are alterations (e.g., mutations) in genes that drive the metastatic potential of cancer cells. Recent work has identified genetic drivers in premalignant 290 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 291 Monday, 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. lesions (Burgess DJ, Nature Reviews Cancer 2012). Specifically, molecular profiles involving loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at loci on 3p, 9p, 4q, and 17p in patients with low-grade oral dysplasia were prospectively validated to predict progression to oral cancer. Building on these molecular risk studies in oral premalignant disease, more recent work (in mouse models and human specimens) has identified EGFR and MET gene amplification as potential genetic drivers in this setting and, along with LOH profiling, are being studied in the recently completed phase III multicenter Erlotinib Prevention of Oral Cancer (EPOC) trial. These studies represent a new paradigm for the development of personalized cancer treatment and prevention based on molecular markers. Room 6A, San Diego Convention Center Targeting the Genetic and Metabolic Basis of Cancer W. Marston Linehan, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD Kidney cancer is a novel form of cancer that has a fundamentally metabolic basis. Each of the known kidney cancer genes, including VHL, MET, FLCN, TFE3, fumarate hydratase (FH), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), have been found to alter the cell’s ability to sense changes in oxygen, iron, nutrients and, most notably in FH- and SDH-deficient kidney cancer, energy. FH- and SDH-deficient kidney cancers, which are characterized by glutamine-dependent reductive carboxylation, undergo a metabolic shift to aerobic glycolysis and an inhibition of HIF-prolyl hydroxylase. FH-deficient kidney cancer is additionally characterized by fumaratemediated activation of the KEAP1-Nrf2 antioxidant response, which is critical for the maintenance of growth of this aggressive form of type 2 papillary kidney cancer as well as other malignancies. Novel therapeutic approaches are being developed targeting the metabolic basis of VHL -/-, MET mutant, TFE3 as well as FH- and SDH-deficient kidney cancer which are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA Room 33A-C, San Diego Convention Center Understanding Tumor Heterogeneity Using 40 Markers at Single Cell Resolution Dana Pe’er, Columbia University, New York, NY Heterogeneity within tumors is of critical importance, especially in terms of drug-resistant subpopulations. Current advances in single-cell measurement technology have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of heterogeneity in disease. For example, mass cytometry can measure the expression and phosphorylation states of more than forty proteins simultaneously in thousands of single cells, including surface proteins and signaling molecules. Single-cell RNA-seq data sets are becoming available. Our lab has developed a suite of tools geared toward single-cell data analysis to unlock the potential of this new data deluge. We will present different computational algorithms using examples from healthy hematopoiesis, AML, ALL, melanoma, and ovarian cancers. Our presentation will focus on the identification of small cell subsets, particularly in the context of drug resistance. Moreover, we will show how to construct maps of intratumor heterogeneity that shed light on how development is dysregulated and identify novel “stem cell like” populations in cancers. Room 30A-C, San Diego Convention Center Why Do Two of Three People Never Get Cancer? Evolutionary Aspects of Cancer Resistance George Klein, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden Humans are relatively cancer resistant, as judged by the absence of cancer in two-thirds of the population. The susceptibility/resistance of other mammalians varies but shows no relationship to body size. Selection for longevity and cancer resistance may occur in parallel, as indicated by the extremely long-lived and cancer-free mole rat species. Microenvironmental control may play a major role in the defense against potential neoplastic cells. Our work confirms that normal fibroblasts inhibit the growth of tumor cells in vitro, largely by a contactdependent mechanism. The inhibitory capacity of the fibroblast differs depending on the site of origin, and is also different between normal and cancer-derived stroma cells. Preliminary gene analysis points to major differences in gene expression between inhibitory and noninhibitory fibroblasts. 291 POSTER SESSION Hall A-E, Poster Section 2 • Monday, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Tumor Biology 11 Poster Section 2 2 Angiogenesis 2: Novel Targets and Agents (not eligible for CME credit) Poster Abstract Board Number 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 292 1002 Norrin controls colon cancer angiogenesis.

Topalian, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baltimore, MD The human immune system, comprised of adaptive (T and B cell) and innate (NK and myeloid) components, is inherently capable of recognizing and destroying cancer cells but is held in check by suppressive intratumoral factors. Tumors can thwart immune attack through the secretion of soluble mediators and by cell surface display of inhibitory ligands. This session will explore recently recognized immune-modulating pathways and potential clinical solutions that are in active development, including genetic redirection of antitumor lymphocyte specificity, adoptive T cell transfer technologies, and monoclonal antibody blockade of barriers to tumor elimination affecting adaptive and innate antitumor immunity. These translational advances are converting the promise of immunotherapy into a new reality for patients with cancer. 8:15 a.m. 8:45 a.m. Investigating inhibition of the CD47 “don’t eat me” signal to enable tumor phagocytic removal and augmented crosspresentation to T cells Irving L.

Many initially promising biomarkers have not been validated because many study designs produce a biased comparison in which results that appear “positive,” but the difference is due to bias - a systematic difference between cases and controls or in handling of their specimens. In contrast, strong sources of unbiased specimens have been produced by specimen collections from longitudinal cohort studies (e.g., PLCO, CARET, WHI; and in some HMOs). To accurately discover and/or validate cancer biomarkers, access to resources where serial collections, epidemiological data, clinical data, and outcomes were assessed over time is required. Specimens collected just-proximal to the diagnosis of cancer are ideal because they are typically not biased by knowledge of the diagnosis or treatment of the disease. These include serial blood samples (including plasma or serum) collected in a systematic and equivalent manner, with appropriate epidemiological and clinical annotation; such samples are ideal for discovery and/or validation of biomarkers for early detection. While several NCI- and NIH-sponsored cohort studies and clinical trials have produced highquality specimens utilized to assess biomarker validity, much larger numbers are needed. Consequently, it may be useful to aggressively leverage existing clinical and epidemiology cohort resources since new collections are so expensive and time consuming. The aim of this session is to discuss how existing studies and HMO infrastructures may be leveraged for unbiased studies of biomarker study and validation for early detection. Speakers will discuss challenges and opportunities for doing this type of research and provide examples of successful studies in this arena. In addition the session will accomplish the following goals: 1) Facilitate sharing of methods, approaches, and lessons learned in performing this type of research using existing clinical and epidemiology infrastructures, mainly for studies of cancer early detection. 2) Identify obstacles or challenges that need to be addressed to perform this type of research. 3) Share knowledge about available resources to foster this research.

Cruz-Correa, University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center, San Juan, PR Hereditary cancer syndromes constitute an opportunity for cancer prevention with implication to the individual patient and their families. Recognizing those with hereditary cancer risk and establishing targeted screening, surveillance, and prevention strategies require a systematic and integrated health delivery approach. This session will discuss aspects of several hereditary cancer syndromes including the diagnosis, the role of molecular pathology and genetic testing, and specific medical/surgical management and chemoprevention strategies to reduce the burden of cancer. This session is a primer for scientists focusing on hereditary cancers along the continuum of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. 10:30 a.m. Diagnostic and preventive strategies in hereditary colorectal cancer Marcia R.

Considerable work has been done to investigate the role of radiation as a DNA-damaging agent, but recent data suggest that the relationship between radiation and cancer may be considerably more complex. Using breast cancer as an exemplar, the purpose of this session is to present a series of complementary studies that together provide new insights into the etiology of radiation-induced cancer. Because it exists at the interface of genetics, biology, and a clearly defined causative exposure, radiation-induced carcinogenesis provides a unique opportunity to explore the contribution of each factor to cancer risk. As such, it may serve as a model for future studies of gene-by-environment interactions in cancer and other complex diseases. 10:30 a.m. The role of other exposures in radiogenic breast cancer risk Roy E.

Byrd, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, Columbus, OH Our understanding of the biology and genetics of gastrointestinal cancers, especially colon and rectum cancers, is changing rapidly. This session will highlight some of approaches that are being used to study this set of cancers and how these approaches are helping us better understand the biology and develop therapeutic approaches. Our understanding of the role of the microbiome in many biological processes is advancing rapidly and this session will explore the role of the microbiota and their interaction with the genetics in the initiation of colon cancer. Large-scale genomic studies are also changing our understanding of the various genetic factors in the progression of colorectal cancers. All of the new information is also allowing new types of clinical trials for treatment of this important cancer type. All of these aspects will be discussed in this session. The 2013 year of research has brought forth many novel findings related to both B cell and T cell malignancies. This session will review relevant findings related to familial lymphoproliferative disorders where new genetic findings are providing novel insight into pathogenesis of these diseases. The role of tumor microenvironment in mantle cell lymphoma will be reviewed and impact of novel targeted therapies to agonize this. An update on B cell receptor targeted therapies and new mechanisms of resistance will be reviewed. Finally, novel T cell lymphoma targets identified by next-generation sequencing will be reviewed along with new strategies to target these. 10:30 a.m. Genetic lesions and the microbiota contribute to site-specific development of intestinal polyps Sergio Lira, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY 10:55 a.m. Discussion 11:00 a.m. Role of the microbiome in colorectal cancer Christian Jobin, Univerisity of Florida, Gainesville, FL 11:25 a.m. Discussion 11:30 a.m. Rational drug combinations to improve anti-EGFR targeted therapies in metastatic colorectal cancer *Andrea Bertotti, University of Turin, Turin, Italy 11:45 a.m. Discussion 11:50 a.m. Genomics of colorectal cancer Raju Kucherlapati, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 12:15 p.m. Discussion 12:20 p.m. Panel Discussion 10:30 a.m. Lessons from the investigation of familial lymphoproliferative disorders Jennifer R.

Clarkson Symposium: Stem Cells and Cancer Cancer Metabolism Chairperson: Sean J. Morrison, UT Southwestern Medical School, Dallas, TX Two kinds of links have been demonstrated between stem cell biology and cancer biology. First, cancer cells hijack stem cell self-renewal mechanisms to enable neoplastic proliferation. Consequently, an understanding of the mechanisms that regulate stem cell self-renewal can yield new therapeutic strategies. Second, some cancers exhibit a hierarchical organization in which tumorigenic cancer cells “differentiate” into nontumorigenic cancer cells. In these cancers, the tumorigenic cells are thought to drive tumor growth and disease progression. Thus, insights into cancer biology can potentially be gained of multiple levels by applying the principles of stem cell biology. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. Genetic and nongenetic mechanisms contribute to long-term clonal growth dynamics and therapy resistance John E.

The enhanced glucose metabolism common to most tumors is often exploited to visualize tumors with radioactive glucose analogs (FDG-PET). The speakers in this session will discuss the genetic, epigenetic, and biochemical mechanisms by which metabolism is altered in cancer cells. Importantly, the speakers will also discuss how these changes in metabolism provide an advantage to the cancer cell in regard to growth or survival. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. Understanding metabolic heterogeneity in cancer Ralph J.

Schreiber, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO It is now clear that the endogenous immune system plays important roles in controlling, shaping, and promoting many types of cancer. As a consequence of work from several laboratories, we have now obtained significant mechanistic insights into these apparent paradoxical roles of immunity and have begun to apply our enhanced understanding of these processes towards the development of effective cancer immunotherapies. This session will focus on recent findings about the effects of endogenous innate and adaptive immune responses on developing tumors in mice and humans and on the naturally occurring regulatory processes that inhibit or promote these immune functions. 10:30 a.m. Cancer immunoediting: New mechanistic insights Robert D.

Bernstein, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA Malignant cellular properties are acquired through combination of genetic and epigenetic changes. In particular, the past several years have brought increasing realization of the importance of epigenetic factors to tumor proliferation, spread, and therapeutic resistance. Chromatin regulators are frequent targets of mutations in diverse tumor types, DNA methylation patterns undergo characteristic changes in malignancy, and new classes of drugs target the epigenome. This session will focus on transcriptional and epigenetic programs that underlie malignant cell phenotypes. It will focus in particular on emerging technologies and approaches for capturing comprehensive views of genome regulation in cancer cells, along with associated insights into mechanisms of transformation, tumor heterogeneity, and therapeutic responses. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. Reactivation of early developmental programs during oncogenesis John Stamatoyannopoulos, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 11:00 a.m. Discussion 11:05 a.m. Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of resistance to endocrine therapy Myles A.

Golub, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA Chairperson: Norman E. Sharpless, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Chapel Hill, NC The ability to comprehensively characterize tumor genomes is now making it possible to gain new insights into the disease. A number of international efforts are focusing on deciphering the genomes of pediatric cancers, which in general have a remarkably different mutational spectrum compared to adult tumors. In this session, speakers will present recent advances in pediatric cancer genome research. Dr. Downing will review recent progress in understanding pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia and other cancers. Dr. Pfister will present emerging insights into the pathogenesis of pediatric brain tumors. Dr. Maris will present the landscape of genomic alterations in neuroblastoma. Dr. Janeway will present early views into the genomes of pediatric sarcomas, and will review recent efforts to bring pediatric cancer genomics to clinical care. Cellular senescence represents an irreversible form of growth arrest induced by a variety of stressors and is of indisputable importance in tumor suppression. More recently, the activation of senescence has been suggested to be an important component of the therapeutic response to some anticancer agents. Additionally, the accumulation of senescent cells with aging has been suggested to contribute to certain common age-induced phenotypes such as decreased immunity, sarcopenia, and type II diabetes. Therefore, the senescence machinery appears to be a critical organismal defense against cancer that is also a principal determinant of how humans age. This session will examine the implications for cancer research of a modern understanding of cellular senescence. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. Measuring senescence during cancer therapy Norman E.

The longstanding corollary hypothesis has been the promise that such GEMMs will prove to have greater predictive value than traditional models about the efficacy (or lack thereof) of nouveaux therapeutic agents and regimens, incentivizing and guiding the design of clinical trials that change the standard of care. A generalized proof-ofconcept has been slow, although there have been occasional demonstrative successes. The speakers in this session will provide results and insights into their efforts to develop – using various organ-specific GEMMs – this new frontier in cancer therapeutics. 10:30 a.m. Introduction 10:40 a.m. The Co-Clinical Trial Project Pier Paolo Pandolfi, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA 11:00 a.m. Discussion 11:05 a.m. Preclinical identification, modeling, and validation of immune cells as targets for therapy in breast and pancreas cancer Lisa M.

The transformative potential of these therapies has already been recognized by regulatory authorities and has resulted in approved treatment options for patients. However, the variety of products (vaccines, cell-based therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors) coupled with the inherent variability of individual immune responses and tumor heterogeneity present unique scientific and regulatory challenges. Some of these concerns are unique to specific product subtypes such as vaccines; however, several overarching regulatory concerns present opportunities to find evidence-based solutions that will benefit developers of all immunotherapy products. These concerns include but are not limited to the following: a paucity in official guidelines that specifically address development of immunotherapy products; an assessment of currently available standards and tools to measure efficacy of these products and development of new standards and tools if needed; the need for unique trial designs that incorporate complexities and dynamics of immune system heterogeneity; the need for regulatory standards that acknowledge the safety concerns unique to these therapies and provide means of addressing and monitoring the same; developing validated biomarkers that can be used to select patients who will benefit from targeted immune treatments and regulatory guidelines for combining immunotherapies in a manner that protects patient safety while allowing for product innovation and treatment options. A panel discussion moderated by Renzo Canetta, Bristol Myers Squibb, and audience Q and A will follow the presentations.

Herbst, Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, CT This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health. This landmark publication found a definitive, causal link between smoking and lung cancer in men, and, along with subsequent reports, it motivated a series of important public health initiatives that have stemmed the tide of tobacco-related death and disease in the United States. Since the 1964 report there have been over 30 reports of the Surgeon General on tobacco, including the most recent report, published in 2014: The Health Consequences of Smoking—50 Years of Progress. This session will address smoking patterns and the evolution of tobacco control over the last 50 years and provide new findings on tobacco’s adverse health effects, including the risks it poses to individuals with chronic diseases, highlighting the effects on cancer patients. Speakers will also discuss challenges to future tobacco control efforts and federal research and regulatory efforts aimed at further understanding and reducing the adverse health consequences of smoking and other forms of tobacco use.

ELION LECTURE Monday, 12:30 p.m.-1:00 p.m. Ballroom 20D, San Diego Convention Center Tenth Annual Gertrude B. Elion Cancer Research Award Lecture Identification of Disseminated Breast Tumor Cells that Progress to Metastatic Disease Sandra S. McAllister, PhD Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA The AACR Gertrude B. Elion Cancer Research Award provides a one-year grant to foster meritorious basic, translational, or clinical cancer research by a tenuretrack scientist at the level of Assistant Professor. This award honors the late Dr. Gertrude B. Elion, Scientist Emeritus at Glaxo Wellcome Co. (now GlaxoSmithKline). Her seminal research at the company revolutionized cancer therapeutics and her prolific contributions to biomedical science earned her the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988. The AACR is extremely pleased to sponsor this award in the name of Dr. Elion, a distinguished Past President and Honorary Member of the AACR. This year we honor Dr. Sandra S. McAllister, who is taking innovative approaches to understand how breast cancers progress to metastatic disease, which affects approximately 30% of breast cancer patients and is incurable. A particular challenge to preventing metastatic breast cancer is that tumor cells have already disseminated to the periphery in patients at the time of their primary diagnosis. It is thought that less than 1% of all disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) is able to form an overt tumor, suggesting that successful DTCs are rare. Nevertheless, these are the cells that claim the lives of breast cancer patients with metastatic disease. Dr. McAllister’s project was designed to identify DTCs with life-threatening potential before they progress to metastatic disease and to distinguish them from the vast majority of DTCs that are inconsequential. Her lab used novel molecular tagging and detection technologies that were developed by her collaborators at the Broad Institute. This technology enabled her lab to track the fate of individual DTCs and to study rare progression events in vivo, which was previously impossible to do. By studying one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, her group identified April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA DTCs that respond to pathophysiological cues and learned how these DTCs are altered when they convert from a state of indolence to one of malignant growth. These studies should serve as a foundation for more accurate identification of breast cancer patients who would benefit from systemic adjuvant therapy to treat potentially deadly DTCs before they develop into incurable clinical metastatic disease. Dr. McAllister is an Associate Scientist in the Hematology Division at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. She received her undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and completed her PhD studies in molecular and cellular biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She joined Robert Weinberg’s laboratory at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research as a postdoctoral fellow where she established new preclinical models to study breast cancer pathophysiology. She joined the faculty of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 2009, and is also an affiliate member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, an associate member of the Broad Institute, and a member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. Dr. McAllister studies cancer as a systemic disease and focuses her research efforts on identifying physiological processes that contribute to tumor progression and finding ways to interdict their function. Dr. McAllister is a recent recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their careers. 345 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 346 SPECIAL SESSION Monday, 12:45 p.m.-2:00 p.m. Room 8, San Diego Convention Center AACR Annual Business Meeting of Members Moderator: Charles L.

Sorger, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA This session will address the challenge of understanding and ultimately predicting the sensitivities of tumor cells to targeted and cytotoxic therapy based on quantitative analysis of cell signaling networks. Beneficial and adverse drug responses are integrated properties of cells, tissues, and organisms that are determined, in a multifactorial manner, by genotype, microenvironment, and physiological state. Talks will highlight the use of multiplex biochemical measurement, quantitative modeling, and clinical translation in delineating these factors. Tony Letai will describe “BH3 profiling” that predicts the sensitivity of cells to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis based on measuring the priming of mitochondria. Peter Sorger will describe single-cell methods for measuring and modeling cellular responses to kinase inhibitors, and Adolfo Ferrando will discuss factors that control drug sensitivity and resistance in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Groopman, Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD Chairperson: Smita Bhatia, City of Hope, Duarte, CA The exposome is a conceptual project designed to employ state-of-the-art technologies to understand exogenous and endogenous exposures that contribute to cancer risk and disease burden. Perhaps for a majority of human cancers we still do not have a comprehensive understanding of the etiological factors that contribute to these tumors at different organ sites. With the prospect of a near doubling of cancer incidence worldwide over the next 25 years, there is a compelling need to understand these hazards and risk factors in order to implement prevention strategies. While our knowledge of the underlying genetic bases and pathways in cancer has increased dramatically over the past 10 to 15 years, our knowledge of the exposure component of these different tumors has lagged behind. This is the challenge that the exposome project is designed to address. 1:00 p.m. The future of medicine, where can technology take us in oncology and beyond... Daniel L.

There are over 13.7 million cancer survivors, comprising about 4% of the U.S. population, with this number expected to increase by 2% annually. For many patients, these marked improvements in survival have been countered by serious therapy-associated adverse effects (e.g., second malignant neoplasms and cardiovascular disease). Survival rates for most pediatric cancers have markedly improved over the past four decades, with the number of U.S. survivors currently surpassing 420,000. This population is particularly vulnerable, with an excess of treatment-related mortality and morbidity. In fact, a significant proportion has at least one serious or lifethreatening chronic health condition by 40 years of age. Cardiac disease and second cancers have emerged as leading causes of morbidity in cancer survivors largely due to radiation and chemotherapy used to treat the primary cancer. This presentation will describe the burden of morbidity borne by the cancer survivors, discuss the etiology and risk factors for cardiac disease and second cancers, as well as interventions to decrease morbidity related to these adverse outcomes. 1:00 p.m. Burden of morbidity and premature mortality in cancer survivors: Adultonset cancer perspective Lois B.

Lynch, Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, CT Chairperson: Benjamin Ebert, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA The therapeutic landscape for lung cancer has changed dramatically over the past decade. This is principally from the identification of driver oncogenes that are druggable targets. EGFR mutations define a unique subset of lung cancer where an increased understanding of resistance mechanisms is defining active second-line options that are practice changing. Lung tumors driven by Alk translocations are similarly initially responsive to crizotinib-based therapy. Several second-generation ALK inhibitors will play a greater role in management. Finally, this session will address approaches to defining new targets that might be rare as a percentage of total cases, but still represent important patient populations that can benefit from a targeted therapy approach. Identification of the major genetic drivers of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has yielded major insights into disease biology, the development of improved animal models, and the development of novel therapies that are currently under investigation. The genetics, biology, and therapeutic targeting of aberrantly activated kinase signaling pathways are well advanced. Dr. Tyner will review the genetics and biology of kinase dysregulation, and Dr. Shah will discuss the clinical efficacy and resistance mechanisms of kinase inhibitors in AML. Many of the genetic lesions in AML are not straightforward therapeutic targets. Dr. Ebert will discuss the identification of novel therapeutic targets using synthetic lethal screens, and Dr. Levine will speak about the cellular consequences of mutations in epigenetic regulators in AML. 1:00 p.m. Introduction: Molecular profiling and focus on EGFR-mutated lung cancer Thomas J.

Ninety percent of all solid human tumors harbor an incorrect karyotype. Thus, determining how aneuploidy arises and how it impacts cellular behavior is critical for our understanding of tumorigenesis. Talks in this session will describe new findings on the molecular mechanisms governing chromosome segregation and how aneuploidy impacts cell proliferation. Specifically, speakers in this session will describe exciting new findings on how chromosome mis-segregation and the ensuing aneuploidy impact genome stability and discuss how this genome-instability-inducing property of aneuploidy could contribute to tumorigenesis. Chairperson: Charles G. Drake, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baltimore, MD This session will begin with an introduction to immune checkpoint molecules and their physiological relevance, followed by an in-depth discussion of the basic cellular biology and immunology of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. Subsequent presentations will discuss the encouraging clinical results observed in clinical trials of PD-1 and PDL1 blocking antibodies in patients with melanoma, as well as resulting toxicities.

Tumor cell seeding, survival, and outgrowth requires the formation of distinct anatomic microenvironments or niches which form a complex cellular network including tumor cells, stromal cells, immune and inflammatory cells, as well as tumor vasculature. This leads to the activation of cell adhesion networks combined with the secretion of cytokines and chemokines within such cancer cell-niche units that are mediating and promoting oncogenesis, stemness, dormancy, chemoresistance, and metastasis. This symposium will cover recent progress in identifying cancer niche components, uncovering tumor cell niche cross-talks, characterizing specific cancer pathways controlled by niche signals, and outline possibilities to target the disease by disrupting the cancer cell-niche unit. Progress in the development of drug treatment of cancer has been steady, yet slow. The majority of current patients do not benefit from their initial therapy. Experimental laboratory strategies to develop drugs and to predict patient response have typically involved cancer-derived cell lines and transgenic mouse models. These approaches have been useful but have inherent limitations. In this session, several experimental strategies will be discussed that involve the direct “live” propagation and testing of tumor cells from individual patients. These approaches include xenografting in mice, in vitro propagation of the tumor in “smart” 3-cultures systems that are supplied with the crucial growth factors for each tumor type, and the use of iPS technology to efficiently immortalize primary human tumor cells. These technologies complement deepsequencing analyses by allowing functional tests of tumor cells from individual patients as a step towards personalized medicine. 1:00 p.m. Introduction 1:10 p.m. Mesenchymal and MDS stem cells shape an interactive disease unit in the bone marrow Andreas Trumpp, German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany 1:30 p.m. Discussion 1:35 p.m. The inflammatory cancer cell niche Mikala Egeblad, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 1:55 p.m. Discussion 2:00 p.m. Brain metastasis stem cells and niches Joan Massagué, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 2:20 p.m. Discussion 2:25 p.m. Niche control of cellular states associated with malignancy Thea D.

These steps can be achieved by the changes in both the cancer epithelium and in their microenvironments. In contrast to the oncogenic alterations in the primary tumors, however, few key mutations were reported that are specific to and responsible for metastasis. Although many pieces of information have been reported to affect cancer metastasis, we still wait for a more comprehensive picture of the metastatic mechanisms.

Lin, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA In the current age of molecularly targeted cancer therapy, the inclusion of research biopsies in clinical trials is becoming increasingly common. Tissue biopsies play a key role in evaluating pharmacodynamic effects of targeted agents, validation of biomarkers and assays in drugdiagnostic codevelopment studies, and dissecting mechanisms of therapeutic resistance. Research biopsies may be focused on questions directly related to the therapy being tested in the trial (for example, to evaluate a biomarker for response) for correlative studies relevant in the trial population (for example, mechanisms of endocrine resistance in patients with ER-positive breast cancer), and even for questions outside of the oncology arena. Biopsies may be performed as a one-time, stand-alone procedure or multiple times during the course of the study depending on the ultimate purpose and the study design. Historically, biopsies have been optional, and there was been wide variation in the proportion of patients who consented to biopsies. Increasingly, biopsies are becoming mandatory. This may be in the context of an integral biomarker, in which results of assays on biopsy material will be used to determine eligibility or treatment assignment. Mandatory biopsies are also increasingly common for correlative studies, in order to maximize the likelihood of sufficient statistical power for scientific questions. There remains ongoing debate on the proper place of research biopsies in studies of patients with cancer and their inclusion presents scientific, ethical, and practical challenges. Speakers will discuss the key considerations for conducting tumor biopsies and banking of tissue/biospecimen for prognostic or retrospective pathologic analysis including: informed consent for research biopsies, ethics of research biopsies and potential for coercion, use of limited tissue to answer meaningful scientific questions, need for biopsies at tumor progression, how to account for tumor heterogeneity, costs of biopsies and genomic profiling, optimal biopsy procedures such that sufficient tissue is collected, properly prepared, and banked, potential impact of biopsies on assessment of the trial’s primary end point, possibility of central tissue and data repositories such that patients can be channeled to appropriate trials and sites as studies open up.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) supports human biospecimen resources and recently funded the development of two next-generation informatics tools (NCTN Biospecimen Navigator and NCI Specimen Resource Locator) with a goal to improve the awareness of and access to valuable specimen resources for the research community. The NCTN Biospecimen Navigator is an integral part of NCTN Biospecimen Banks (a.k.a. Cooperative Group Banks) that supports specimen collection, storage, and distribution on the Phase III and large Phase II NCI Clinical Trials. It provides a consolidated inventory of biospecimens across all NCTN Group Trials; connects biospecimen inventory data with associated trial data and selected clinical data to allow assessment of biospecimen availability based on trial design and clinical data end points; provides tools and standard definitions to facilitate automated data loading from multiple systems (biorepositories, data centers, CTRP); provides a secure, role-based, highly functional user interface for performing data queries and reporting as needed by stakeholders including the NCI “Front Door concierge” service, NCI staff, NCTN Group, Bank staff, and research investigators; and provides a user interface and data model for tracking requests, utilization/distribution of biospecimens, and monitoring scientific productivity. The NCTN Biospecimen Navigator search engine for researchers will be demonstrated and the access to available NCTN biospecimens will be discussed. The NCI has developed an expanded Specimen Resource Locator website (SRL) in order to make researchers aware of existing resources that have biospecimens available for distribution to or sharing with the research community. Researchers are able to search the SRL database, then request and retrieve a list of resources likely to meet their needs. If no direct match of resource to investigator is achieved, the SRL refers researchers to the Tissue Expediter. The Tissue April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA Expediter is an individual who helps the investigator locate appropriate resources. Also, the Tissue Expediter helps identify potential collaborations between researchers and those specimen resources that are not easily accessible to the research community. The SRL will lead cancer research investigators directly to the resource. The SRL search engine and website will be demonstrated. The use of the NCTN Biospecimen Navigator and NCI Specimen Research Locator by the research community should spread knowledge of the availability of appropriate biospecimen resources and accelerate scientific discovery. Part 2: NCI’s Biospecimen Science and Best Practices Programs: Moving Toward Biospecimen Evidence-Based Practices (45 min) Human biospecimens are critical foundations for basic and translational cancer research as well as patient diagnosis. A high degree of variability pervades the collection, processing, and storage of biospecimens, raising the concern about the reproducibility of research results and clinical tests performed on biospecimens. The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Biorepository and Biospecimen Research Branch (BBRB; formerly known as OBBR) has developed several initiatives to understand the effect of pre-analytical factors on biospecimen molecular integrity and to develop evidence-based best practices for biospecimen handling from collection to analysis. This session will provide an update on BBRB’s programs and available resources. • Introduction to BBRB’s Activities: This session will provide an overview of the NCI’s “Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources,” the Biospecimen Research Network (BRN), and the Biospecimen Research Database (BRD). Current investigations into the economics of biobanking, as well as the provision of high-quality postmortem tissues for research, will be briefly described. • Assessing the Impact of NCI’s Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources: The NCI’s “Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources” defines state-of-thescience practices to promote the collection of high quality biospecimens and to encourage harmonization of biospecimen practices, including guidance on ethical, legal, and social issues related to biospecimen resources. This session will describe recent efforts undertaken to examine the impact of the NCI’s “Best 359 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 360 NCI/NIH-SPONSORED SESSION Monday, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m (not eligible for CME credit) Practices for Biospecimen Resources” and its value as a resource to the research community. • Biospecimen Science Research to Support the Development of Biospecimen Evidence-Based Practices: This session will present an overview of the NCI Biospecimen Research Network (BRN), designed to support Biospecimen Science research to assess the effects of pre-analytical factors involved in the collection, handling and processing on biospecimen molecular integrity. This research has been conducted through research contracts which fund programs regarding biospecimen quality and integrity. A high level description of the funded work will be provided. • Translating Biospecimen Science results into Biospecimen Evidence-Based Practices: This session will describe pathways for utilizing the results of Biospecimen Science research to develop evidencebased practices for biospecimen collection, processing, and storage. Discussion will be invited as to how the research community can best encourage the development and adoption of evidence-based biospecimen practices for use in research and clinical biomarker research.

Arteaga, MD All Annual Meeting attendees are invited to meet AACR President Carlos L. Arteaga, MD. Dr. Arteaga is a professor of medicine and cancer biology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine where he holds the Donna S. Hall chair in breast cancer research. He also serves as associate director for clinical research and director of the Breast Cancer Research Program at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tenn. In his role, Dr. Arteaga will work collaboratively with the AACR Board of Directors and the 34,000-plus membership to further the AACR’s mission to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, and collaboration. He assumed the presidency on April 7, 2014 during the Annual Business Meeting of Members at the AACR Annual Meeting 2014. Dr. Arteaga was also an editorial board member of Clinical Cancer Research from 2001 to 2004 and is currently deputy editor. He has served on behalf of the AACR as co-chair of the annual CTRCAACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium since 2009 and is a principal investigator on the Stand Up To Cancer Dream Team, “Targeting the PI3K Pathways in Women’s Cancers.” His research interests include oncogene signaling and molecular therapeutics in breast cancer with an emphasis on targeted therapies, mechanisms of drug resistance, translational research, and investigator-initiated clinical trials. Early in his career, Dr. Arteaga was the first to report the role of IGF-I receptors and TGF-beta on breast cancer progression and their potential as therapeutic targets. More recent work has focused on the role of presurgical and neoadjuvant trials to discover molecular biomarkers that inform patient selection in clinical trials and/or for the discovery of mechanisms of drug resistance in breast cancer. He showed the role of aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway in promoting escape from antiestrogens and the ability of inhibitors of HER2 and PI3K to reverse April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA resistance to antiestrogen therapy in human breast cancer in studies focused on hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. All of his work has significant implications for novel clinical trials in patients with breast cancer, some of which are completed or in progress. He has received many honors and awards, including the AACRRichard and Hinda Rosenthal Award, the American Cancer Society Clinical Research Professor Award, the Gianni Bonadonna Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation and, early in his career, the Clinical Investigator Award from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Additionally, he is an elected member of the Association of American Physicians and the American Society for Clinical Investigation and a member of Susan G. Komen’s Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Arteaga received his medical degree in 1980 from the Facultad de Ciencias Médicas at the Universidad de Guayaquil in Ecuador. Following internal medicine residency at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., Dr. Arteaga completed a fellowship in medical oncology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

(not eligible for CME credit) Room 28D-E, San Diego Convention Center NCI’s Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CSSI): Programs and Highlights Chairperson: Emily J. Greenspan, National Ccancer Institute, Bethesda, MD The mission of the Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CSSI) is to create and uniquely implement exploratory programs focused on the development and integration of advanced technologies, transdisciplinary approaches, infrastructure, and standards to accelerate the creation of publicly available, broadly accessible, multidimensional data, knowledge, and tools to empower the entire cancer research continuum for patient benefits. In this session we will highlight the programmatic objectives and research efforts supported by the CSSI’s Office of Cancer Nanotechnology Research (OCNR), Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (OCCPR), and the Center for Cancer Genomics Office of Cancer Genomics (OCG), provide an update on two trans-NCI grant initiatives, the Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) program and the Provocative Questions (PQ) initiative, coordinated by CSSI’s Office of the Director (OD), and share highlights from the Division of Cancer Biology’s (DCB) Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PSOC) program. OCG seeks to advance and accelerate development of genomics science and technology toward the goal of enhancing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer. Programs include the Cancer Genome Characterization Initiative (CGCI), whose goal is to support the molecular characterization of tumors through the development of cutting-edge genomic approaches, the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) initiative, which is focused on childhood cancers, and the Cancer Target Discovery and Development (CTD2) initiative, which extracts therapeutically relevant information from large-scale genomics data sets. The NCI’s DCB supports the PS-OC program, which brings together transdisciplinary teams from the physical sciences and cancer research communities to investigate the emergence and behavior of cancer from a physical sciences perspective. This portion of the session will provide an overview of the PS-OC program, highlighting the new perspectives being brought to cancer research. They will also discuss resources available to support work at the intersection of the physical sciences and oncology including the PS-OC Data Coordinating Center and upcoming funding opportunities. OCNR directs the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer (ANC), a program to pioneer the development and deployment of nanotechnology-based interventions, which hold enormous promise for advancing all aspects of cancer research and medicine. OCNR will give an overview of the goals, organization, and recent successes of the ANC program, as well as describe interactions with other NCI initiatives to leverage their capabilities towards collaborative efforts. There will also be a discussion of resources available to the cancer nanotechnology community, including the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) and Translation of Nanotechnology in Cancer (TONIC) consortium. OCCPR’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) is applying proteomic technologies to systematically identify proteins from genomically characterized tumors, such as those from TCGA program. Resources presented from OCCPR will include: the Data Coordinating Center and Proteomic Data, the Antibody Characterization Program and Portal, and the Proteomic Assay Portal. The audience will hear an overview of each resource and learn how to learn how to access data and assays developed through CPTAC. 400 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 401 Monday, 2:30 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Our session will close with an overview of the IMAT and PQ programs, including overarching goals of the initiatives, examples of supported research, and future directions.

Hait, Janssen Research and Development, LLC, Raritan, NJ In 2012, the FDA was given Statutory Authority via passage of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) to designate medical products (drugs and biologics) as a “Breakthrough Therapy” if the therapy met the following conditions: • treated a serious or life threatening disease or condition; • and preliminary clinical evidence indicated that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. FDA data indicate that there have been more than 140 Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) applications in 2013, of which 37 have been granted. The majority of BTDs granted have been for oncology products. Thus far, three breakthrough-designated products have received approval, of which two have been in oncology: Genentech/Roche’s Gazyva (obinutuzumab) and Pharmacyclics/Janssen Imbruvica (ibrutinib). Since BTDs are a new and exciting pathway to gain expedited approval of medical products, this session will include discussions of: 1) how developers can take advantage of BTD, 2) how to recognize and apply for BTD designation in early development, and 3) case studies of the two successful BTD product applications in oncology. A panel discussion moderated by William Hait, Janssen Research and Development, and audience Q & A will follow the presentations.

Chairperson: Lee M. Ellis, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX The ability to translate basic science discoveries into clinical benefit for our patients depends upon reliable and robust preclinical data. However, the failure rate of new drugs in cancer clinical trials is lower than in any other discipline. Recently, many investigators, both from academia and industry, have raised the issue that data reproducibility is poor, and may explain our high failure rate in drug development. Manuscript retractions are increasing rapidly, and most retractions are due to misconduct. It has been noted that the impact factor of a journal correlates with the retraction rate, but the reasons for this association remain to be elucidated. In this session, speakers will address the issue of data reproducibility, potential causes of the inability to reproduce data, and possible mechanisms to address these issues. 3:00 p.m. Issues with the publication and replication of scientific studies in cancer research Lee M.

Jain, PhD A.W. Cook Professor of Tumor Biology Director, E.L. Steele Laboratory Department of Radiation Oncology Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA The AACR Princess Takamatsu Memorial Lectureship was established and first presented in 2007 in honor of the late Princess Takamatsu of Japan. During her extraordinary life, Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamatsu expended tremendous efforts toward the public and humanitarian cause of the eradication of cancer. She is an honored and respected figure in Japan, the United States, and the cancer research community worldwide. The Lectureship will recognize an individual scientist whose novel and significant work has had or may have a far-reaching impact on the detection, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancer, and who embodies the dedication of the Princess to multinational collaborations. Dr. Rakesh K. Jain, who is also the Andrew Werk Cook professor of tumor biology (radiation oncology) at Harvard Medical School, is being recognized for his pioneering work in tumor biology and his leadership in developing diverse international collaborations and training the next generation of scientists. Dr. Jain is renowned for his work characterizing the abnormal state of blood vessels within tumors and for proposing and then validating the groundbreaking hypothesis that “normalizing” the network of blood vessels in a tumor can improve treatment outcomes. In testing his hypothesis he made discoveries that fundamentally changed understanding about the ways in which anticancer therapeutics called antiangiogenic agents work. Developed to prevent tumor blood vessels from forming, Dr. Jain’s research showed that antiangiogenic agents can actually normalize tumor blood vessels in both animal models and cancer patients, and that this improves outcomes for patients. 412 Throughout his career, Dr. Jain has mentored graduate and postgraduate students from around the world from diverse backgrounds, including chemistry, molecular and cellular biology, immunology, radiology, pathology, surgical oncology, engineering, mathematics, and physics, many of whom are now leaders. Dr. Jain’s contributions to cancer research have been recognized with numerous other accolades, including election to the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine; he is one of only 20 people ever to have been elected to all three U.S. National Academies.

Greenspan, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD In 2011, the NCI’s Director, Dr. Harold Varmus, created the Provocative Questions (PQ) initiative to encourage imaginative, bold approaches designed to tackle perplexing and previously neglected or understudied areas of cancer research. Based upon workshops and discussions with the extramural cancer research community, as well as NCI program directors, a set of 24 questions and accompanying requests for applications (RFAs) were developed, focused on diverse topics in cancer risk and prevention, tumor development, and cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment. In order to stimulate innovative hypotheses and approaches, the “power of the ideas” was heavily weighted in the applications with a de-emphasis on preliminary data. In the first year of the initiative, the NCI awarded 56 grants, totaling $21.5 million of research support via the R01 and R21 mechanisms. Building upon the 2011 RFAs and adjusting to changes in the research landscape, 24 revised questions were developed for the 2012 RFAs with a commitment of up to $30 million in support. The NCI released the 2013 RFAs in September 2013 with a revised set of 20 questions, including a new thematic area related to clinical effectiveness. In this session, a general programmatic summary of the PQ initiative will be given, including history and development of the program and funding data to date. Several PQ-supported research projects funded in the first year of the initiative will also be highlighted in order to demonstrate the breadth of research topics and high level of innovation supported by the initiative. Projects will be selected from the four main PQ thematic areas in order to provide an overview of the many diverse approaches being used to answer a selected PQ. In addition, trends and evaluation criteria from awarded grants will be presented to offer insight to potential applicants regarding the outcomes of the program to date as well as put forward ideas as to how the initiative may influence future NCI program development and funding areas.

Dr. Nima Sharifi is recognized for having found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) synthesis in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) circumvents the need for testosterone, using instead a previously underappreciated intermediate steroid and for discovering the first gain-of-function mutation in a steroidogenic enzyme, which increases DHT synthesis and drives CRPC. As a medical oncology and postdoctoral fellow at the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Sharifi focused on the clinical importance of the androgen receptor (AR) as a transcription factor in advanced prostate cancers that are resistant to hormonal therapies; as a result, he has made a significant impact in the field. His interest was captured by the observation of others that prostate cancers become resistant to androgen deprivation therapy by means of a gain-of-function mechanism that essentially reactivates the AR to drive CRPC. A major mechanism required for AR gain-of-function comes into play when tumors acquire the metabolic capability to synthesize their own DHT from adrenal precursor steroids, a capacity that has been clinically validated by FDA-approved next-generation drugs that block the synthesis or effects of DHT, such as abiraterone and enzalutamide. In 2008, at UT Southwestern, Dr. Sharifi’s prostate cancer clinic enabled him to take fundamental observations from his laboratory to clinical confirmation in patients with this disease. The generally accepted convention in the field had been that testosterone is an obligate intermediate metabolite that undergoes 5α-reduction to DHT from adrenal precursor steroids in April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA CRPC. In 2011, Dr. Sharifi challenged this dogma and demonstrated that androstenedione, an altogether different steroid, undergoes 5α-reduction to 5αandrostanedione, a previously underappreciated intermediate, en route to DHT. Dr. Sharifi confirmed these findings in fresh metastatic CRPC tissues, obtained with CT-guided biopsies from patients in his clinic using an IRB-approved protocol, to take this story from fundamental biochemistry to clinical confirmation. Also noteworthy is that elevated DHT concentrations in CRPC were first observed 35 years ago; however, no mutation responsible for this observation had been described. Dr. Sharifi’s recent research identifies the first gain-of-function mutation in a steroidogenic enzyme that increases metabolic flux from steroid precursors to DHT and is responsible for the development of CRPC. This mutation, in 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 (3βHSD1), blocks the ubiquitination and degradation of this enzyme, increasing its half-life, leading to higher protein levels, and thus increasing metabolic flux in the rate-limiting step from DHEA (the predominant adrenal precursor steroid) to DHT, which in turn stimulates the AR and confers resistance to androgen deprivation therapy. The significance of these findings may be similar to the discovery of EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer and BRAF mutations in melanoma. Patients with tumors that harbor these gain-of-function enzyme mutations are generally dependent on these genetic lesions, and these tumors are generally responsive to pharmacologic inhibition of these enzymes. Dr. Sharifi is the recipient of a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Physician-Scientist Early Career Award, an American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award, a Prostate Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award, and is also supported by the National Cancer Institute. In 2013, he was appointed the Kendrick Family Endowed Chair for Prostate Cancer Research at the Cleveland Clinic. 415 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 416 FORUMS Room 11, San Diego Convention Center Antioxidant to Pro-Oxidant Therapy for Cancer Moderator: Navdeep S. Chandel, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL Cancer cells produce high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), primarily superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Oncogene activation, coupled with the loss of tumor suppressors, promotes ROS production at mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and NADPH oxidases. The tumor microenvironment, characterized by low glucose, hypoxia, and inflammatory infiltration, further increases ROS levels in cancer cells. Elevated ROS levels can hyperactivate multiple pathways (PI3K, MAPKs, NF‐KB, HIFs) that are known to be protumorigenic. However, uncontrolled oxidant production is incompatible with cellular viability. Thus, cancer cells have enhanced antioxidant function which allows them to maintain a balance between the growth-promoting and damageinducing properties of ROS. We will discuss the current thinking regarding disabling cellular antioxidants to increase ROS levels in cancer cells to levels that elicit damage and thus reduce tumor burden. Panel: Shyam Biswal, Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD Tak W. Mak, Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research, Toronto, ON, Canada Room 33, San Diego Convention Center Controversies and Challenges Posed By Incidental Findings from Tumor Genome Analysis Moderator: Kenneth Offit, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY Recent advances in massively parallel sequencing have made possible high-throughput analysis of tumor samples in order to individualize and target treatment strategies. In the process, incidental information can be found indirectly (germline mutations identified in the tumor sequence) or directly (when germline DNA is used as a comparison with the tumor DNA). At present, there is a debate regarding whether laboratories and clinicians have an obligation to inform patients about incidental 416 findings, or if such an obligation would constitute a violation of a patient’s autonomous right to decide what genetic information he or she wishes to receive. This session will focus on the scientific as well as ethical underpinnings of this debate, and will seek to inform the discussion with emerging data and experience from investigators engaged in cancer genomic analysis and counseling. Panel: Stephen J. Chanock, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD Sharon E. Plon, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX Room 30A-C, San Diego Convention Center Crowdsourcing Cancer Research: The Role of Quantitative Challenges Moderator: Gustavo A. Stolovitzky, IBM Computational Biology Center, Yorktown Heights, NY During the past decade, challenge-based competitions have grown in number and prominence in a wide range of disciplines, including cancer research. One example is the NCI-sponsored DREAM challenge to predict the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs, successfully conducted in 2012. Advantages of challenge-based competitions include the unbiased assessment of the performance of predictive models and the nucleation of communities around a given topic. There are, however, important unknowns about the potential of collaborative competitions. Which problems are not amenable to crowdsourcing? What is the best set of incentives to balance the competitive and collaborative aspects of challenge-based research? How sustainable is a research program based on challenges in terms of its economics and challenge fatigue in participants? This discussion will address these questions, trying to flesh out the benefits and limitations of collaborative competitions and the extent to which challenges can become a mainstream research modality.

Chairperson: Todd R. Golub, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA It is becoming possible to generate increasingly large biological datasets, ranging from cancer genome sequencing studies, to large-scale perturbational profiling studies, to functional genomic studies of cancer vulnerabilities. With such large datasets comes the potential for additional false positive results. The question thus becomes: as we add more data, does the biological picture crystalize or do we become overrun with noise? This forum will address this question from the perspective of the LINCS Consortium (Connectivity Map), cancer genome sequence analysis, and cancer vulnerabilities studies (Project Achilles).

Parada, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX Room 5, San Diego Convention Center Targeting Autophagy in Cancer: Promise or Peril? Chairperson: Douglas R. Green, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN Autophagy is a fundamental biological process that functions to preserve cell survival under conditions of metabolic stress and cellular damage. As such, it clearly has potential as a target for cancer therapy. However, some cancers show defects in autophagy, and indeed, some autophagic proteins act as tumor suppressors in some settings. In this forum we will look at the benefits and dangers associated with inhibition of autophagy and discuss those situations where it may help or hurt the efforts to treat disease. Panel: Kevin Ryan, Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, Glasgow, United Kingdom Eileen P. White, UMDNJ-The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ Moderator: Bradley E. Bernstein, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA The importance of cellular heterogeneity in tumor pathology and therapeutic resistance is now well appreciated. In certain tumors, heterogeneity appears to be predicated in a strict hierarchy with multipotent “cancer stem cells” at the apex giving rise to other more restrictive cell types in a tumor. Yet clear counter examples exist in other malignancies, with dynamic interchange among represented cell states (“plasticity”). The extent to which these alternate models can explain cellular heterogeneity in tumors has important implications for mechanisms of transformation, diagnostics, and therapeutics. This forum will critically evaluate current models of tumor hierarchies and cellular plasticity, and consider their clinical implications. April 5-9, 2014 • San Diego, CA 417 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 418 FORUM Monday, 5:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m. Room 29, San Diego Convention Center Panel: What Is (Are) the Mechanism(s) by Which the p53 Protein Enforces Tumor Suppression? Andreas Strasser, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Parkville, Australia Moderator: Arnold J. Levine, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ Wei Gu, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY The p53 protein responds to a wide variety of stress signals, which include DNA damage, telomere shortening, hypoxia, metabolic alterations, aneuploidy, alterations in ribosome biogenesis, and oncogene activation via mutations. The nature of the p53 protein response is to increase the concentration of this protein in the cell and to acquire several types of posttranslational modifications. This leads to an increase in the transcriptional activity of the p53 protein resulting in a transcriptional program composed of many genes. The genes that have an increased initiation of transcription by the p53 protein all have a p53 DNA binding sites and just which genes are transcribed depends upon the nature of the stress, the cell type, whether the cell is normal or transformed and likely other variables that are not yet clear. These transcriptional programs result in one of a variety of outcomes thought to be responsible for tumor suppression. These responses include apoptosis, cellular senescence, cell cycle arrest, metabolic alterations, DNA repair and enhanced inactivation of reactive oxygen species, cytokine synthesis modulating the immune response, extracellular matrix alterations, and others yet to be elucidated. Recently several publications have demonstrated p53-mediated tumor suppression in the absence of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and cellular senescence providing evidence that additional mechanisms are critical for p53-mediated tumor suppression. In addition, a second transactivation domain in the p53 protein has been described that may well regulate a new set of genes involved in tumor suppression. There is even a suggestion that the p53 protein could act directly (not as a transcription factor) in some types of tumor suppression. Because p53 mutations are the single most common alterations identified in human cancers, the mechanisms of tumor suppression by p53 forms a central part of understanding cancer initiation, sustained tumor expansion and responses to therapeutics. It may well be that there are several independent and redundant mechanisms of tumor suppression by p53. 418 AACR ANNUAL MEETING 2014 12_14AM_Mon_Layout 1 3/11/14 12:38 PM Page 419 MAJOR SYMPOSIUM Monday, 5:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m. Room 6A, San Diego Convention Center AACR/ASCO Presidential Symposium: Precision Medicine: Next-Generation Sequencing Co-Chairpersons: Charles L. Sawyers, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, and Clifford A. Hudis, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY Regulatory approval of molecularly targeted cancer drugs is often linked to co-approval of a "companion diagnostic" test that identifies the patients most likely to benefit from treatment. This paradigm, initially pioneered with trastuzamab and HER2 immunohistochemistry in breast cancer, has resulted in dozens of novel drug/target approvals over the past decade and exemplifies successful implementation of the precision medicine vision in clinical practice. However, the remarkable advances achieved in next-generation DNA sequencing in the past 2-3 years, that enable analysis of thousands of genes inexpensively from small biopsy samples, present unanticipated challenges to the companion diagnostic paradigm. In this session we will review the scope of these remarkable advances and their potential impact on medicine, we will consider various regulatory approaches to ensure that clinical next-generation sequencing is reliable and robust, and we will discuss emerging challenges in implementing next-generation sequencing data into real-time oncology practice. 5:00 p.m. Personalized genomic analyses of human cancer Victor E.

Clowes Memorial Award James P. Allison, PhD Chairman, Immunology Program The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX This award was established in 1961 by AACR and Eli Lilly and Company to honor Dr. G.H.A. Clowes, a founding member of AACR and past research director at Eli Lilly and Company. The award recognizes an individual that has had outstanding recent accomplishments in the field of basic cancer research. Dr. James P. Allison has laid the foundation for our ability to manipulate the T cell system for therapeutic applications against cancers, and is therefore greatly deserving of this honor. Dr. Allison’s early research focused on understanding how the immune system defends the body from pathogens and cancer, with particular emphasis on the role of T lymphocytes. In this process, he uncovered previously unknown mechanisms of T cell function. In 1982, Dr. Allison and his colleagues identified the T cell antigen receptor (TCR), which recognizes foreign antigens. He also discovered that this recognition is not sufficient for the activation of naïve T cells. Subsequently, he discovered two key molecules, the CD28, which is constitutively expressed on the surface of the T cell and is needed for its activation, and a homolog of CD28 called CTLA-4, which is induced after the activation of the T cell, and is a major downregulator of T cells. Dr. Allison described how all these molecules act in concert in the process of engaging the antigen presenting cells that carry the foreign antigens, such as cancer antigens. Dr. Allison hypothesized that the immune system fails to recognize tumor cells since CTLA-4 downregulates T cell activation. Based on this theory, he created antibodies to this molecule and demonstrated the rejection of established tumors in several mouse model systems. He then developed an antibody to human CTLA-4, ipilimumab, which has been used in clinical trials in more than 4,000 patients with a variety of cancers including 422 metastatic melanoma, prostate, renal, lung, and ovarian cancers. In recent years, Dr. Allison identified several other checkpoint and costimulatory molecules and he has been testing the combination of immunological therapies and targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, for more effective treatment against cancers. He will play an instrumental role in MD Anderson’s Moon Shots Program to dramatically accelerate the pace of converting scientific discoveries into clinical advances that reduce cancer deaths. Dr. Allison has received numerous awards and honors, including the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, the inaugural AACR-Cancer Research Institute Lloyd J. Old Award in Cancer Immunology, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the American Association of Immunologists, the Centeon Award for Innovative Breakthroughs in Immunology, the William B. Coley Award for Distinguished Research in Basic and Tumor Biology from the Cancer Research Institute, the Dana Foundation Award in Human Immunology Research, the Richard V. Smalley Award from the International Society for Biological Therapy of Cancer, and the Roche Award for Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy. He is a member of the American Association for Immunologists, the Academy of Cancer Immunology, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, among others. Dr. Allison obtained his doctoral degree in biological sciences from The University of Texas in Austin and did his postdoctoral fellowship in molecular immunology at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, Calif. He served as the chair of the immunology program at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute from 2004 to 2012.
