EXPERT IN RARE CANCERS AND COMPLEX TREATMENTS, GUSTAVE ROUSSY IS ONE OF THE WORLD LEADERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. I ts 3,000 staff, researchers, teachers, doctors and care providers place innovation at the heart of its humanitarian, scientific and technological revolution. INTEGRATION OF CARE, RESEARCH AND TEACHING Fo u n d e d i n 1 9 2 6 b y P ro fe ss o r Gustave Roussy, the Institute has been developing since then an approach to oncology which is faithful to its founder’s values: innovation, commitment, sharing of knowledge and compassion. The approach is one that integrates fully the three founding principles of Gustave Roussy: research, care and teaching. It is the source of innovative therapies and advances in diagnosis. The high level research carried out at the Institute now combines basic research with translational and clinical approaches, to bring the results of research to the bedside to benefit the patient as rapidly as possible. COMBINING INNOVATION AND HUMANITY Gustave Roussy offers its patients personalised treatment combining cutting-edge medicine, innovation and compassion. This approach takes into account the patient’s physical, psychological and social quality of life. The Institute is aiming to practise medicine which is increasingly personalised and less invasive, so as to offer treatment of high quality and safety, thereby improving all aspects of patient management at all stages of the disease. ANTICIPATING TOMORROW’S ONCOLOGY The educational programs of Gustave Roussy for students, researchers and medical practitioners is constantly TREATING ALL PATIENTS, WHATEVER THE CANCER TYPE, WHATEVER THE AGE. evolving and adapting skills to develop ments in oncology and ensuring the continuity of innovation. FORGING PARTNERSHIPS TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE As a major scientific centre in the south of the Île-de-France, the Institute plays a central role locoregionally, in particular through Cancer Campus Grand Paris. Thanks to local partnerships, it contributes to the organisation of oncology in its locale by improving care programmes. Gustave Roussy as a key actor on the European and international oncological stage is forging strategic partnerships with the leading research and treatment centres in the world focusing on major projects to keep ahead in the battle against cancer. The e-hospital of tomorrow is being prepared today. 7 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY SIGNATURE OF A CONTRACT WITH THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA FOR TRAINING OF SAUDI ONCOLOGISTS, 23RD OCTOBER 2014, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FRENCH MINISTER FOR THE DHSimon ECONOMY AND FINANCES, EMMANUEL MACRON. INTERNATIONAL AMBITIONS SPREADING THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY MODEL, BEYOND BORDERS GUSTAVE ROUSSY IS LAUNCHING AN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY. WHILE CONCENTRATING ON THE LONG TERM AND CREATING THE MEANS FOR EXPANSION, THE INSTITUTE IS SPREADING AND EXPORTING ITS MODEL. DESIGNING TOMORROW’S INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH In 2014, historic academic partnerships with leading institutions were reinforced, in order to speed up research. Gustave Roussy, together with DKFZNCT Heidelberg*, took the initiative to found Cancer Core Europe. Cancer Core Europe was created by signing a far reaching consortium agreement between 6 leading comprehensive cancer centers in Europe: Gustave Roussy, NKI-Amsterdam, Cambridge Cancer Center, VHIO-Barcelona, Karolinska Cancer Institute and DKFZ-NCT Heidelberg. Cancer Core Europe is a unique initiative to create a virtual cancer institute that welcomes 60.000 new patients per year and treats more than 250.000 patients per year. It will share databases and conduct research programs focused on personalized cancer medicine, biomarker discovary, and outcome research (see page 17). In June 2014, the WIN symposium brought together, as it does every year, the leading specialists in the field. The WINTHER trial is being conducted within the WIN framework to assess the contribution of mole cular testing to choice of therapy. Professor Jean-Charles Soria, director of DITEP** at Gustave Roussy, is the principal investigator and world coordinator of this trial. The partnership developed with DKFZ-NCT in Heidelberg has moved b e y o n d e s t a b l i s h e d co m b i n e d research projects in paediatrics, immunotherapy, personalised medi cine and cell death. WELCOMING FOREIGN PATIENTS In 2014, Gustave Roussy continued to expand its care of patients from abroad, seeing 1,400 international patients in 2014 compared with 900 in 2013. The number of foreign patients managed as outpatients increased by 40% compared with 2013, while the number admitted for conventional hospitalisation rose by 22%. The departments to which these patients present are mainly those for diseases of the breast and the digestive tract and the haematology department. Gustave Roussy is continuing to seek to attract international patients and is looking to provide suitable areas in which they can be treated. DEVELOPING KNOWLEDGE ABROAD Gustave Roussy is developing projects which aim to create the infrastructure for training of health professionals and for sharing our treatment models. Following the creation in 2013 of a breast cancer unit in the Sharjah University Hospital (UAE), a longterm partnership was forged with the Ministry of Health in Kazakhstan. This will help train doctors from the cancer centers and academic institutions in Kazakhstan and will establish a centralised chemotherapy preparation facility in the town of Astana as well as in other centres across the country (see page 38). In addition to these agreements, there are plans for new projects in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In February 2014, the first studies were initiated to look into opening a hospital under Gustave Roussy management in Kuwait. This would be the first French hospital outside France devoted solely to the management of cancer. This project enjoys support from the public sector. * Deutsche Krebs Forschungs Zentrum – National Centrum für Tumoren. ** Drug Development Department. 8 FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: CHARLES GUEPRATTE, DEPUTY GENERAL DIRECTOR, PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT, GENERAL DIRECTOR, PROFESSOR ERIC SOLARY, RESEARCH DIRECTOR. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY 9 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY Let's live the future today INTERVIEW WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INNOVATION, TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH, STRENGTHENING OUR PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS, EXTENDING OUR EXPERTISE, QUALITY PARTNERSHIPS… IN 2014, GUSTAVE ROUSSY REINFORCED ITS ROLE AS A PIONEER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER IN FRANCE AND ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. HOW DO YOU LOOK BACK ON YOUR WORK IN 2014? PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: The year was marked by significant innovation and advances in every field. Of these, we might single out the merger without job losses with the Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre, progress in the immunotherapy programme, the joint creation with five other European centres of excellence of Cancer Core Europe and the acquisition of da Vinci Xi, a latest generation surgical robot – the first robot dedicated to surgical oncology in France. And again, reflecting our recognition abroad, publication of the results of our research in major journals. The scale of these successes is testimony to the decisions on its direction of travel taken by the Institute over a number of years. CHARLES GUÉPRATTE: This progress has been made with financial results that are better than expected. Instead of the forecast 5 M€ budget deficit, the amount was only slightly over 1 M€. Our investments bore fruit, especially in radiotherapy, with improvements in treatment options, and also in the numbers of foreign patients seen. We also managed to control our expenses. We manage to keep recruitment of new personnel under control with 70 new positions. The increase in staff costs was contained within predefined limits. WHICH ACHIEVEMENTS IN RESEARCH STAND OUT? PROFESSOR ÉRIC SOLARY: These involve the three principal areas of research at Gustave Roussy. One of the Institute’s teams has obtained an ERC Starting Grant, a prestigious award from the European Research Council, for its work on DNA repair. Immunotherapy continues to be a very promising field, in which our innovative therapies are confirming our leading role in Europe. Finally, the deployment of personalised medicine with its patient benefits has resulted in the first publications from clinical trials and the launch of studies on resistance to targeted therapies. YOU REFERRED TO THE MERGER WITH CHEVILLY-LARUE. WHAT WAS THE RATIONALE FOR THIS? PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: Here again, the main beneficiaries are the patients. We were facing very heavy demand, which was exceeding 10 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY +3% INCREASE IN ACTIVITY IN 2014 18M€ GUSTAVE ROUSSY’S AUTOFINANCING CAPACITY We provide every type of oncological treatment and we treat every condition. We have a dedicated team in each field and a critical mass of information. That is what distinguishes us and defines the position of Gustave Roussy. Professor Alexander Eggermont our capacity to handle it; in particular, our Emergency Department was overloaded. As a result of this merger we have increased our capacity by a third, i.e. 110 extra beds. CHARLES GUÉPRATTE: In addition to responding to that need, Chevilly-Larue will have its own medical projects, notably in personalised cancer prevention strategies in at-risk individuals, the development of cardiology services and the reception of patients from abroad and their families. YOU HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. WHAT ARE ITS PRINCIPAL GOALS? CHARLES GUÉPRATTE: Firstly, we should emphasise that it is the result of a collaborative approach involving patients and our staff. Some 400 individuals contributed directly to the project. We are very proud of this. PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: This is a project which will engage us over five years in five areas. The first of these is in the field of treatment, our primary mission. We shall continue to develop our infrastructure so that our patients have access to the best, most modern and effective techno logy in radiotherapy, robotic surgery, imaging, etc. The second area is that of research where we aim to deliver innovation to our patients in every field. We have the ambitious strategy of ensuring translational effectiveness by developing the continuum between basic research, clinical trials and the delivery of care. example, by optimising our information systems we should be able to improve the integration of all the shared research data from trials and from patient care carried out within Cancer Core Europe, together with that from the patients’ electronic records. PROFESSOR ÉRIC SOLARY: To flush out this approach still further, the hospital plan foresees the creation of one physician/researcher position each year up to 2020. We have also programmed an investment of 50 M€ to establish a unit of 5,000 m² devoted to pre-clinical studies. This is scheduled to open in 2019. PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: The fourth area is that of Human Resources, a field in which we intend to set standards. The fifth is that of our international role, both to improve our attractiveness to patients from abroad and to export our model. We are already doing the latter in Kazakhstan, within the framework of a long-term partnership, and we are preparing to expand into other countries. PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: The third area will be that of transformation, or rather acceleration in improvements, of our IT-infrastructures. For CHARLES GUÉPRATTE: In 2015, Gustave Roussy’s investment in information systems will be nearly 6 M€. Our internet site has been completely recast and it will later have a portal designed especially for patients. 11 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY Our translational approach establishes a pathway from basic research through clinical trials to patient care. This means that our patients benefit from the latest advances without delay. Professor Éric Solary Our financial results, much better than forecast, show that we are on the right way and that our investments over several years has been appropriate. Charles Guépratte WHAT ROLE DOES FUNDRAISING PLAY, AND PARTICULARLY THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION, IN THIS STRATEGY? CHARLES GUÉPRATTE: A key role. Citizens contribute almost 10% of our funds through donations and legacies. In this way, the Foundation supports research and we shall be launching a new major fundraising campaign to run over several years. This ought to raise some tens of millions of euros. TO CONCLUDE, WHAT IS IT THAT DISTINGUISHES GUSTAVE ROUSSY IN THE CANCER FIELD? PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: Cancer Core Europe and beyond that our partnerships on a global scale mean that we can function in every area of oncology and treat every condition. In each field we have a dedicated team and a critical mass of information. That is what distinguishes us and gives us our position of strength. PROFESSOR ÉRIC SOLARY: Thus, our agreement with IntraGen has resulted in the first large scale high-throughput sequencing unit to facilitate targeted therapy of patients. In 2014, 750 patients participated in early trials in a dedicated department which is the largest in Europe. Another figure: more than 3,300 patients were entered in clinical trials, a reflection of the scale of this work. PROFESSOR ALEXANDER EGGERMONT: Gustave Roussy organises its research work, trials and patient care. It integrates all this for the benefit of today’s patients and those of tomorrow. At the same time, in collaboration with ParisSud University, it is training new teams and contributing to local developments through the Cancer Campus. Today the Institute does indeed embody the future. Living the future today 12 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY TOMORROW’S TREATMENTS ARE BEING DETERMINED BY THE GREAT CHANGES WHICH ARE UNDERWAY. GUSTAVE ROUSSY IS INVESTING TO INNOVATE. DEVELOPMENT PROJECT 2015-2020 DEFINING THE MODEL OF TOMORROW’S CANCER CENTRE THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT 2015-2020 IS A PRODUCT OF THE IDEAS OF ALL OF THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY TEAMS PROPOSED DURING 2014. IT INCORPORATES THE INSTITUTE’S AMBITIONS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS: TO BE AN ENGINE OF INNOVATION IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE DIRECT BENEFITS FOR PATIENTS. G ustave Roussy’s goal is to develop a scientific, technological and organisational programme of the highest quality in order to offer all its cancer patients the latest generation, highly specific, novel treatments. The Institute is preparing to be a leader by 2020 in innovative organisation of the patient pathway, implementing a coordinated programme for the patient and for the hospital, which can adjust to new conditions arising from advances in treatment. THE MEDICAL CARE PROJECT This depends on a purposeful investment in high technology equipment. It will mean that over five years we shall renew the model of surgical oncology, integrate interventional radiology with it, increase the range of our radio therapy equipment and develop molecular medicine (as a routine service) and immunotherapy, so that all our patients can have access to perso nalised medicine. We shall double our capacity for bone marrow transplantation by establishing a haematology department. RESEARCH AND TEACHING These will evolve in close collaboration with the future Paris-Saclay University. In 2020, Gustave Roussy will be a major university hospital centre with a research centre completely integrated with patient care. It will also, by virtue of its partnership with the Institut Curie, be the leading department in Europe conducting pre-clinical studies. This pre-clinical centre will attract commercial partners specialising in biotechno logy and bio-informatics and will underlie the growth of the Cancer Campus. The development of early trials through the Drug Development Department (DITEP) and the routine provision of molecular biology will respond to the requirements of personalised medicine and immunotherapy, fields in which Gustave Roussy is keen to become the European leader. The very close integration of research with patient care will, moreover, be encouraged by the creation of doctorresearcher posts with guaranteed time dedicated to research activity. QUALITY POLICY Conforming to the most demanding international standards will underpin new therapies. By 2020, Gustave Roussy will have developed new quality models to ensure that all its patients have access to the highest levels of care for their conditions from the moment of admission to follow-up after discharge. Priority is to be accorded to 13 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY coordination of care, communication with patients, the medication circuit and risk management. THE PATIENT-HOSPITAL RELATIONSHIP By proposing a renewed vision of the patient-hospital relationship, Gustave Roussy seeks to become a reference standard in the field of services for patients and to develop a structured programme ranging from cure to care. The objective is to reassure the patient and to help him/her to understand the treatment and to be independent. Work is already underway to improve the patient’s experience, the admission process and communications. This work is very dependent on new technologies which give access to personalised communication processes and help to maintain continuity of the relationship both within the hospital and outside it. THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION This will constitute a new base underlying all the activities of Gustave Roussy. It will facilitate access to information and transform the organisation. It will encourage the formation of internal and external relationships, notably with patients, whose auto nomy will thus be strengthened. The substantial increase in data storage facilities and the capacity to handle data is redrawing the future in research, patient care and hospital organisation. Through an e-hospital, the creation of “Health Big Data” at international level will respond to the need to master ever larger data sets. MANAGERIAL INNOVATION This will take shape through a dynamic human resources policy fully orientated to the acquisition of skills. Internal contracting will help units at Gustave Roussy to benefit from more delegation of mana gement functions, thus fostering autonomy and flexibility. Economic balance and financial independence are key to the growth of Gustave Roussy: routine health economics studies will inform day-to-day running and additional financing will be sought by continuing communication, especially with established donors. INTERNATIONAL AMBITIONS On the international stage, Gustave Roussy will continue to develop academic partnerships based on research and a policy of exploitation of its expertise and offer to patients. Its international ambitions are also reflected by the Cancer Core Europe network directed by Gustave Roussy and bringing together six centres of excellence in the fight against cancer. Established in 2014, this consortium has set up five working groups: data sharing, early trials, molecular diagnosis, imaging and training. Gustave Roussy as an inspiration for progress and a bearer of hope is using its hospital plan for 20152020 to define the future of the fight against cancer. PARTNERSHIP POLICY Gustave Roussy’s strategy is ultimately based on a policy of partnership rooted in the local area. It is situated in the heart of the Bievre scientific valley and on the threshold of Grand Paris. It will play a major role in the development of a “biopark”, which will maximise the potential of its research and encourage interactions between its clinical functions and industry. PROPOSING A RENEWED VISION OF THE PATIENT-HOSPITAL RELATIONSHIP. Living the future today INCORPORATING INNOVATION IN EVERY SECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE’S WORK IN ORDER TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF ONCOLOGY. 14 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT: FIRST STEPS IMPLEMENTED GUSTAVE ROUSSY 2015-2020: A PROGRAMME ALREADY UNDERWAY DRAWN-UP IN 2014, PUBLISHED RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015, THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT CONTAINS A NUMBER OF INTENTIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN SWIFTLY IMPLEMENTED. ADHERING TO A YEAR-BY-YEAR PROGRAMME UP TO 2020, THE INSTITUTE WILL ROLL OUT A SERIES OF INNOVATIVE INITIATIVES TO HELP PATIENTS. Cancer Core Europe, the European consortium A pilot unit for personalised prevention initiated by Gustave Roussy is organising its first joint work and research projects within its five designated fields: IT and data sharing, early trials, molecular diagnosis, imaging, and training and exchange of expertise between the six major centres. will be established in January 2016, to improve individuals’ knowledge about their own health, their perception of the risk of cancer and their involvement in putting suitable preventive measures into practice. The latest generation surgical robot, the da Vinci Xi, was acquired by Gustave Roussy late in 2014; this is the first step in the institute’s ambitious surgical programme. With the intention of making surgery an important arm of clinical research, the Institute will explore new indications and prospects for robotic surgery. The digital revolution being a major component of its strategic project, Gustave Roussy will invest massively in 2015 in its information systems to improve access to medical data which are always on the increase. Initial steps: installation of an integrated management system and the launch in spring 2015 of the new Gustave Roussy website. Portals intended for patients and professionals will follow. Doctor-researcher positions are being created and recruitment will be launched in 2015 with the intention of contributing to excellence in oncology research. Five positions are to be created for doctors in this programme and guaranteed designated research time is provided. The merger between Gustave Roussy and Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre represents a decisive initiative to improve care pathways, a major focus in the medical care plan. In a few months, the care pathways will be reviewed, the teams will be trained and a medical plan created for the new Gustave Roussy site. BUILDING THE FUTURE OF GUSTAVE ROUSSY TOGETHER In 2014, the Gustave Roussy teams joined forces to work together on their hospital plan. 400 individuals contributed and there were 200 interviews: a proliferation of ideas, a prioritisation seminar and an opportunity for free expression for all. A programme providing a wide range of services to patients is to start in 2015, ranging “from care to taking care”. This reinvents the relationship with the patient and is divided into five areas with substantive projects already defined. The first is communication with a role for the new website and the other four initiatives in patient services will soon be introduced. These are: welcoming patients with touch tablet devices in reception areas; personalised arrangements for hotel facilities; opportunities to participate in specific cultural activities; and finally, the possibility of being involved in assessment of services through the future Patients Observatory. This participatory approach to the process was led exclusively from within departments. Its encouragement of sharing and creativity tapped in to all the energy of the institution. 15 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY RESEARCHERS REVOLUTIONISING THE UNDERSTANDING OF CANCER AND ITS MANAGEMENT BY DEVELOPING TOMORROW’S TREATMENTS. From basic research to technological innovation; from epidemiology to clinical trials; and from sociology to psycho-oncology: Gustave Roussy marshals all the skills which are essential to speed up discoveries in the field of oncology. This broad range is reflected in the implementation of an integrated research policy which brings together basic research, translational research, clinical research, and clinical practice. The results of research are rapidly mobilised to help patients and this process is widely recognised on the world stage. 300 research workers, of whom 100 are doctoral students and 50 post-doctoral, work within 13 research units, forming 36 teams. There is close collaboration on a global scale with many specialised partner organisations. In particular, there is the consortium, Cancer Core Europe, founded in 2014 by the efforts of Gustave Roussy. Living the future today involves participating in this strategy of integration and synergy and maintaining the continuum from basic research to the bedside. In this way the Institute can fulfil its objective to become a world referral centre in oncology and the leading European centre for innovative treatment. inventing Gustave Roussy research on video 16 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY I am living the future today PROFESSOR FABIEN CALVO, SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR OF CANCER CORE EUROPE. Laboratory medical doctor, researcher with expertise in molecular medicine, former Deputy General Director of INCa and instigator of the international consortium on cancer genomics, Professor Fabien Calvo became scientific director of Cancer Core Europe in December 2014. His mission is to organise and coordinate the consortium’s scientific projects so as to implement its strategy. “Cancer Core Europe is a virtual institute structure which brings together 6 of the leading major forces in cancer research in Europe.” 17 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY CANCER CORE EUROPE A VIRTUAL CANCER INSTITUTE FOR A CRITICAL MASS OF INFORMATION 60,000 NEW CASES, 300,000 COURSES OF TREATMENT, 1.2 MILLION CONSULTATIONS, MORE THAN 1,500 CLINICAL TRIALS: WITH THIS ANNUAL WORKLOAD, CANCER CORE EUROPE REPRESENTS A STRIKE FORCE THAT CAN LEAD THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Established in 2014, Cancer Core Europe brings together six European centres: Gustave Roussy, the Cambridge Cancer Centre (United Kingdom), the Karolinska Institutet (Sweden), the Netherlands Cancer Institute (Holland), the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (Spain) and the German Cancer Research Centre - National Centre for Tumor Diseases (Germany). Objective: improving their work in every field involved with cancer by ensuring that a continuum exists from basic research through clinical trials to patient care. EXCELLENCE AND COLLABORATION To give this approach full force, Professor Fabien Calvo was appointed Scientific Director of the consortium (see opposite). His role is to organise and coordinate the projects carried out in common by the six partners. This is a mission that he fulfils in close cooperation with the committees which direct and lead these projects, as well as with all the scientists who are taking part. By treating the data on all the patients from the six centres in common a “virtual hospital” is created. Establishing such a comprehensive data base in oncology responds to an urgent need. Firstly, the sharing of experience, knowledge and skills as flexibly and effectively as possible should be encouraged, because current cancer research is characterised by very wide inter-disciplinary collaboration. Secondly, the consolidation of an enormous volume of information is indispensable in order to recognise the emergence of phenomena which frequently only concern a small number of patients. This latter aspect takes on particular importance in the current context of developments in personalised medicine where very varied tumour genetic profiles are taken into account. A COMMON OVERALL VISION This spirit of sharing of knowledge and the desire to improve performance is present in the other objectives of Cancer Core Europe: training, enrichment of doctors’ career pathways by means of international exchanges between the partner centres, the use of apparatus endowed with the latest technology or the optimisation of methodology. But, beyond these major directions, its commitment is even more ambitious: to develop a comprehensive vision through common research strategies in order to accelerate genuine advances and bring them as quickly as possible to the aid of patients. 1.2 MILLION THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CONSULTATIONS EACH YEAR FOR THE SIX CANCER CORE EUROPE PARTNERS 18 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S RESEARCH G ustave Roussy confirms its place each year as an agent of progress. The dynamic of its innovative research contributes strongly to this. Gustave Roussy’s organisation, integrating the continuum between basic research, translational research and clinical medicine, enables the Institute to create care models and to renew them. Oncology research being international in nature, Gustave Roussy is well-endowed with the means to benefit from this situation. RESEARCH AT GUSTAVE ROUSSY AS OF 31/12/2014 36 TEAMS 13 UNITS 369 CLINICAL STUDIES MOVING TOWARDS A GUSTAVE ROUSSY ONCOLOGY RESEARCH CENTRE BY 2020. Pursuing the logic of the integration of various types of research with clinical care, Gustave Roussy is undertaking the creation of an oncology research centre under the aegis of Gustave Roussy, the University of Paris-Saclay, Inserm and the CNRS to be fully installed by 2020. During the next three years the Research Directorate will shape a Gustave Roussy oncology research centre, uniting all the on-campus teams. This will facilitate the implementation of an integrated scientific strategy with the most efficient use of human and financial resources and should promote interactions between departments and collaboration across disciplines. At present, research at Gustave Roussy is conducted in 13 Inserm or CNRS Units divided into 34 teams subject to evaluation by the AERES. ARRIVAL OF NEW TEAMS For a number of years Gustave Roussy has pursued a strategy of recruitment of young researchers accredited by Inserm or the CNRS, in order to develop its research potential and new scientific areas connected to modern medicine. Three new teams came to the Gustave Roussy campus in 2014 as part of the Inserm/CNRS Atip-Avenir programme: RESEARCH IMPLEMENTING NEW EQUIPMENT • a spinning disc microscope for the imaging and cytometry unit (PFIC); • new irradiation equipment (department for pre-clinical evaluation) and a laser microdissection station (laboratory for translational research in partnership with Biopath); will be installed in 2015; • a patent has been obtained by the PFIC for a new dorsal chamber plate device to allow multimodality imaging in animals. • 1st February: Endocytosis, cytoskeleton and cell migration team led by Guillaume Montagnac. • 1st April: Repair of double-strand breaks and integrity of the genome team led by Gerard Mazon. • 1st June: Normal and cancerous haematopoietic stem cells: genetic and epigenetic control mechanisms team led by Camille Lobry. This year Doctor Mehdi Khaled (Atip-Avenir 2013) obtained the status of Inserm chargé de recherche 1 [research leader-CR1 Inserm). The Atip-Avenir programme helps young researchers to establish a team and lead it. It disposes of a budget of 600,000 euros over five years. In addition, Valéria Naïm, CNRS research leader in the Disorders of DNA Repair team (UMR 8200), led by Professor Filippo Rosselli, was a prizewinner in the highly competitive ERC Starting Grant (European Research Council) programme and was awarded funding to support her team. THERAPEUTIC INNOVATION UMS AMMICA The Mixed Unit consisting of the Department of Molecular Testing and Modelling together with the Department of Imaging of Oncological Disease was formed on 1st January 2014. This coordinates the technology services at Gustave Roussy, harmonises their running and facilitates their certification and/ or accreditation. Another objective is to help certain departments (morphological methods, molecular testing) to respond better to the needs of academic and commercial research. 19 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY c FOR... CONGRESSES WIN 2014 Professor Alexander Eggermont, General Director of Gustave Roussy and Vice-chairman of the WIN consortium, chaired the 2014 WIN symposium. Four Gustave Roussy doctor researchers including Professor Eggermont himself participated at this prestigious international symposium on precision medicine. ASCO 2014 Gustave Roussy was very prominent at the 50th ASCO Congress with 18 oral communications, 10 of them presented by doctor researchers from the Institute, and 37 posters. CLINICAL TRIALS: ENSURING THE CONTINUUM BETWEEN RESEARCH AND CARE Gustave Roussy brings together the necessary skills for the conduct of high quality research in oncology. The Institute’s clinical research interests comprise diagnosis, therapy, psycho-oncology, sociology and health economics. The continuum between research and clinical care is instrumental in the development of new therapies and advances in diagnostic techniques. Making trials accessible to the greatest number of patients is a thread running through the thinking of the Institute. In 2014, 26% of patients, i.e. 3,308 individuals were enrolled in clinical research. Since the formation in 2013 of the Drug Development Department (DITEP), Gustave Roussy has been an essential partner in phase I trials in adults and children. In 2014, almost 450 patients took part in early trials and more than 300 patients in molecular portrait driven treatment decisions. ASCO / Rodney White ESMO 2014 The discovery of six key genes in lung cancer was a high light. This research conducted in collaboration with the Institut HyperCube has been submitted for a patent. BIOMEDE, A LARGE SCALE PAEDIATRIC CLINICAL TRIAL Biomede, a project emanating from Gustave Roussy research, is the largest randomised trial ever conducted in invasive glioma of the brain stem, a rare and serious condition. This is the first European trial where treatment is based on biopsy findings with laboratory testing in real time and sequencing of the tumour at diagnosis. It is planned to include 250 patients on 25 sites in France together with international participation. Recruitment is to take place over a period of four years. This has been made possible by collaboration within European paediatric oncology organisations (ITCC, SIOPE…) as well as with parent associations and three commercial companies. 20 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY COORDINATING TEAMWORK AROUND A MAJOR PROGRAMME DEVOTED TO IMMUNOTHERAPY. i FOR... IMMUNOTHERAPY STIMULATINGTHE PATIENTS IMMUNE SYSTEM Immunotherapy introduces a paradigm shift: whereas up to recently, the tumour cell killing has been the objective by chemotherapy and targeted agents to eradicate the tumour immunotherapy targets the immune system and the tumour as a whole to eradicate the tumour or prevent progression. In particular a new class of antibodies, immunecheck point inhibitors are now succeeding in arresting progression of a wide range of tumour types, that were up till now virtually resistant to most treatments. Immunotherapy can now be considered as a leading therapeutic approach against cancer. Professor Alexander Eggermont, General Director of Gustave Roussy, talks about immunotherapy: the video GUSTAVE ROUSSY, PIONEER IN IMMUNOTHERAPY I mmunotherapy or anti-tumour immunology is one of the major areas of research at Gustave Roussy. It carries great hope for new therapies. Several teams are collaborating in this research. A programme led by individuals dedicated to it was established to offer access to immunotherapy to the greatest number of patients with a variety of types of cancers. The involvement of Institute teams in the first clinical trials of monoclonal antibodies (anti-CTLA4, anti-PD1 and anti-PDL1) means that Gustave Roussy is a European leader in demonstrating the efficacy of these agents. CREATION OF AN IMMUNOTHERAPY PROGRAMME An Immunotherapy Programme was recently established by Professor Alexander Eggermont General Director of Gustave Roussy, to strengthen the teams working on immunotherapy. Doctor Aurelien Marabelle was recruited to take charge of clinical trial development program, while Professor Laurence Zitvogel directs the scientific work. The objective of this programme is to develop novel therapeutic strategies and bring them to clinical trials and clinical practice, as well as to provide a support function for various Gustave Roussy departments. A programme of this type, with this structure and on this scale, is something very new in Europe. It ought to enable Gustave Roussy to take a leading role in cancer immunotherapy. AN IMMUNOLOGICAL PROFILING LABORATORY The Research Directorate has appointed Nathalie Chaput to lead the new immuno-monitoring platform, set up in 2014. This laboratory specialises in immunological profiling and in functional analysis of immunological cell populations. This platform, incorporated in the hospital structure, will develop and validate biomarkers for selecting patients for appropriate treatments. The study of immunodynamic effects will result in better recognition of potential therapeutic combinations and lead to new developments in immuno-oncology and transfer of this into clinical practice. The Immuno-monitoring Laboratory is attached to UMS AMMICa, CNRS 3655 & Inserm US23 coordinated by Professor Jean-Yves Scoazec. PUBLICATIONS: PRODUCTIVITY OF THE DOCTOR RESEARCHERS Thanks to the efforts of Gustave Roussy’s medical researchers, major advances in immunotherapy have been made in recent years in the use of mono clonal antibodies and the development of promising therapeutic options. Two studies published in the same issue of the journal Nature reported the beneficial effects of the antibody anti PD-L1. 21 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY TOWARDS ROUTINE DEPLOYMENT OF PERSONALISED MEDICINE T he position of Gustave Roussy in the field of personalised medicine is now firmly established. Armed with this success, the Institute intends to organise and expand its use of perso nalised medicine, facilitate access to early trials and develop molecular medicine as a routine. The diagnostic approach in personalised medicine is based on analysis of the tumour genome, referred to as molecular diagnosis. The goal is to be able to recommend a patient-tailored treatment, including identification and use of predictive biomarkers. VERY HIGH THROUGHPUT SEQUENCING, BIG-DATA AND DIRECTING THERAPY Gustave Roussy is at present one of the few European centres capable of producing a mole cular portrait within a two week time-frame. This facilitates rapid therapeutic decision making. The first very high-throughput sequencing apparatus, marketed by IntegraGen was installed in 2014 at the Institute. This has been employed in some 150 patients included in personalised medicine trials. The technique generates a substantial volume of data. It is necessary to extract relevant information from this big-data, so as to optimise the diagnosis and direct the patient towards the best treatment. In order to achieve this, in June 2014 the Institute, in partnership with IntegraGen and Sogeti High Tech, launched the ICE (Interpretation of Clinical Exome) project with the intention of developing software to help interpret data from genomic sequencing. This project was adopted by the 17th Fonds Unique Interministériel (Single Interministry Fund). Doctor Yohann Loriot’s phase I trial demonstrated the efficacy of antibody MPDL3280A in patients with urothelial bladder cancer. The other study, by Professor Jean-Charles Soria, showed that using the same antibody to block an immunological control point produced lasting responses in patients with cancer in lung, skin and kidney, amongst others. This study also found biomarkers which predicted response to treatment. We should also draw attention to a remarkable study published by Doctor Caroline Robert in the New England Journal of Medicine reporting major progress in immunotherapy of metastatic melanoma. This phase III trial was terminated prematurely when interim analysis showed remarkable efficacy of the immune checkpoint inhibitor. RESEARCH, CARRYING HOPE OF NEW THERAPIES. 1,330 PATIENTS HAVE HAD A MOLECULAR PORTRAIT OVER FOUR YEARS JAK2, 10 YEARS AFTER ITS DISCOVERY Ten years ago, Professor William Vainchenker discovered the JAK2V617F mutation in myeloproliferative syndromes. This discovery has had several major consequences for management of these conditions, in particular the development of a test for this mutation which facilitates diagnosis. This is now the most commonly employed test in haematology. This research has also led to the identification of other mutations and to an understanding of the cytokine/ JAK/STAT pathway which is involved in the pathogenesis of these disorders. In addition, therapies targeted against JAK2 have been developed. 22 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY LARGE SCALE CLINICAL TRIALS In the context of its precision medicine project initiated in 2011, Gustave Roussy launched a research programme comprising a series of large scale clinical trials: SAFIR01, MOSCATO, WINTHER and SAFIR02 lung and breast. Ultimately this collection of trials will generate a unique data base of clinical and laboratory information on more than 3,000 patients. Tumour biopsies will be stored in tissue banks in readiness for future ancillary studies. MATCH-R is a new trial commenced in 2014. This is intended to elucidate the mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapy. Patients being treated for metastatic disease who initially were responsive to targeted therapy will have biopsies taken at the time when resistance has supervened. A variety of tests will be performed. It is planned to recruit about 600 patients over five years. TO MAKE TARGETED THERAPY AVAILABLE TO THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PATIENTS The AcSé programme – secure access to drugs – was launched by INCa in 2013. It comprises two clinical trials: AcSé crizotinib and AcSé vemurafenib. The AcSé crizotinib trial is sponsored by UNICANCER, co-financed by the ARC Foundation and coordinated by Professor Gilles Vassal, paediatrician and clinical research director at Gustave Roussy. The initial results are encouraging and were presented at the 51st ASCO meeting. This trial is still recruiting. It is the first trial in the world where the treatment given is directed at a genetic abnormality and not at an organ. Crizotinib, initially used in lung cancer, targets tumours with gene abnormalities found in more than 20 different cancer types. t FOR... TRANSFER The non-hierarchical nature of the organisation of research at Gustave Roussy means that patients can benefit from recent advances in basic research, as has happened with Doctor Stephane de Botton’s collaborative work on IDH inhibitors in acute myeloid leukaemia. This research led on to a DITEP phase I trial of the drug AG 221. 56% of patients showed a response. This promising drug will now be tested in a trial on solid tumours with IDH2 mutations. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF RESISTANCE New mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies in melanoma have been brought to light by Doctor Caroline Robert and Doctor Stephane Vagner. The results of their research were published in the journal Nature*. These results open up new prospects for predicting the efficacy of certain targeted therapies in melanoma and might also lead to the development of new drugs to treat other cancers more effectively. * Nature. 2014 Jul 27. doi: 10.1038/nature13572. 23 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY PATIENTS AND CARE PROVIDERS BEATING THE DISEASE WITH LESS INVASIVE, MORE EFFECTIVE, NOVEL AGENTS RESULTING IN A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. The patient is at the heart of the Institute’s vision and its day-to-day work. Its raison d’être, its main objective, is to help the patient with the most conscientious care, the most effective treatment strategies and the most modern technologies and therapeutic agents tailored to the patient and to the disease. Overall management combines compassion with clinical innovation. That is why advances in understanding are reflected so quickly in clinical trials and then in treatment for the largest number of patients. In the spirit of Cancer Plan 3, Gustave Roussy is also committed to optimisation of the care pathway, in particular through progress in outpatient care, an approach which is combined with that of the use of less invasive treatment. In addition, a number of services other than medical care are designed for the patient to reinforce trust and to offer support. Living the future today means responding to all expectations. Caring for patients Our patients’ testimony on video 24 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY I am living the future today DOCTOR DIANE GOERE, ONCOLOGICAL SURGERY OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. Doctor Diane Goere has been practising as a specialist in digestive tract cancer surgery at the Institute for ten years. “At Gustave Roussy, we combine skill and innovative approaches to bring advances in the field of surgery. A multidisciplinary approach by integrating medicine and research makes it possible to innovate on a daily basis in the development of new treatments, particularly surgical ones. This collaborative work between highly skilled teams helps us to envisage comprehensive cancer treatment. This approach has always the best outcome for the patient in mind.” 25 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY SURGERY CUTTING-EDGE TECHNIQUES REINFORCED BY A NEW ROBOT WITH EXPERTISE IN A NUMBER OF SPECIALTIES, THE DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY IS THE FIRST IN FRANCE EQUIPED WITH THE LATEST GENERATION DA VINCI XI ROBOT. AN ACQUISITION THAT IMPROVES PATIENT TREATMENT. Each year some 14,000 cancer operations are performed at Gustave Roussy. The Department of Surgery is totally committed to innovation and uses the most modern techniques such as image-guided radiotherapy, searching for sentinel nodes, complex hepatectomy, intra-hepatic radio-frequency ablation, surgery in irradiated fields and treatment of peritoneal carcino matosis by debulking surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Its expertise in this latter field makes it a world leader in peritoneal surgery. DEVELOPMENT OF OUTPATIENT CARE AND FLAP RECONSTRUCTIONS. Breast surgery represents another area of excellence. Outpatient surgery is progressing and is advised when possible for those patients who desire it. As for breast reconstruction, this has been totally integrated into the treatment plan. After mastectomy the use of the patient’s own tissue is preferred. Almost 500 reconstructions are performed annually, making Gustave Roussy the leading centre in France in this field. A further illustration of progress comes from the field of Head and Neck surgery, where in a single operation tumour resection and reconstruction with patients own tissue by means of transfer of free flaps is routinely performed. The Head and Neck / Reconstructive Surgery Group of Gustave Roussy has acquired an international reputation for its most innovative and complex approaches in this field. DA VINCI XI, THE ROBOT WHICH TRANSFORMS THE SITUATION FOR PATIENTS These skills are accentuated by advances in the use of surgical robotics. A strategic investment of 2.785 M€ in the latest generation da Vinci Xi device, made possible by support from the Fondation Philanthropia, should help to treat patients with the maximum of comfort. “The robot helps us to widen the therapeutic window in order to advise less invasive and less traumatic surgery for the greatest number,” states Professor Dominique Elias, head of the Department of Surgery, “While reducing complications both during and after surgery, the use of the robot results in fewer functional and cosmetic consequences.” To give one example among others, tumours of the face and neck can be accessed via natural orifices. In total, some 450 operations per year will be suitable for this robotic surgery. A cutting-edge technique with which Gustave Roussy will turn a new page in surgical treatment. 27 MAY 2015 FIRST SURGICAL ENT PROCEDURE WITH THE DA VINCI XI ROBOT 26 RAPPORT ANNUEL 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY 11,300 NEW PATIENTS IN 2014 228, 000 355 BEDS AND 94 PLACES MEDICAL OUTPATIENT CONSULTATIONS PATIENT CARE: REVIEW OF THE YEAR 47,600 PATIENTS IN 2014, I.E. + 1.2% COMPARED WITH 2013 100, 730 AMBULATORY SESSIONS i FOR... CLINICAL NURSE IN ONCOLOGY The Care Management at Gustave Roussy has been supporting the creation of clinical nurses in oncology for several months. The Cancer Plan 3 initiative promises to improve multi-disciplinary patient care. PATIENT CARE TEAMS AT FULL STRETCH G ustave Roussy experienced a further increase in its patient care workload in 2014, both for adults and children with cancer. The hospital staff has been extremely busy to implement multiple developments in terms of major projects and structural changes: investment in latest generation equipment, opening of new hospital premises, preparations for the merger with ChevillyLarue Hospital centre, elaboration of the hospital plan, deployment of computerised patient files, etc. All this under the with ever increasing patient numbers while responding to increased quality requirements has stretched expectations and demands to which the staff has responded magnificently. Helping patients remained the prime concern and kept all motivated to go the extra mile. SUSTAINED OVERALL WORKLOAD 228,000 medical consultations took place in 2014, with a particularly marked increase in workload in cervico-facial cancer (+ 7.9%) and ambulatory care (+ 11.5%). While nurse consultations fell by 3.7%, consultations for communication of diagnosis and treatment strategy increased by 41.4% in 2014. More than 13,800 patients were admitted to hospital, an increase of 3.5% over 2013. The bed occupancy rate was unchanged at 89%. Ambulatory care increased both in terms of numbers of patients (+ 4.6%) and the number of stays (+ 2.7%). There were increases in sessions of therapy of all types: radiotherapy (+ 4.2%), chemotherapy (+ 1.1%), transfusion (+ 12.2%) and brachytherapy (+ 42.5%). In addition, day-case surgical activity grew, with 716 patients being treated in 2014, an increase of 36.6%. In 2014, 11,300 new patients (+ 0.6%) were seen as outpatients at Gustave Roussy. The numbers of new patients primarily resident abroad rose by 22%. The number of new patients admitted grew by 3.1%, new patients representing 51.1% of hospitalised patients. The number and proportion of new patients admitted with malignancy both rose: 5,077 patients, i.e. 88% of the new patients admitted to hospital. LABORATORY MEDICINE AND HEAD AND NECK ONCOLOGY: TWO GROWTH AREAS Laboratory medicine and medical pathology is a key department with a support role in the work of the medical and surgical specialties. The department splits into a patient section for the laboratory tests and a tumour section for the morphological and molecular diagnosis activities. The workload increased in 2014 with almost 2.2 million laboratory medical tests (B and BHN codes) while there were 5,600 gene tests for solid tumours. Professor JeanYves Scoazec was appointed head of this department in December 2014. The department of cervicofacial oncology at Gustave Roussy specialises in the management of complex cases and is one of the world leaders in the field. It deploys innovative techniques; robotic surgery, advanced reconstruction procedures, endoscopic laser therapy, endonasal endoscopy and also endoscopic cranial base surgery. In addition, novel chemotherapeutic regimens and targeted molecular therapy are also employed. In 2014, work in medical oncology and referrals as well as basal cranial surgery increased by nearly 12% in patient numbers and by 17% in the number of hospital stays. PATIENTS TREATED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ONCOLOGICAL MEDICINE LISTED ACCORDING TO THE SITE OF THE MALIGNANT TUMOUR The Department of Oncological Medicine is directed by Professor Karim Fizazi. It is responsible for management and treatment of patients with cancer whatever the primary site. The range of disciplines covered by the specialists in this team is such as to make this department one of the most important of its type nationally and internationally.

Looking beyond their treatment and their care, it is essential that these young patients continue to lead their lives as children and prepare to become adults. An area of more than 1,600 m2 was replanned and laid out to provide children, adolescents and also their families with an environment comprising not only the facilities for care but also suitable provision for shared time and the preservation of family ties, which are so vital for young patients. This was conceived by the patient management team and the project was carried through with the support of management and major contributions from the medical, patient care, logistics and technical teams. The new department is designed to deliver patient care and be welcoming for children, their families and care providers. The refurbishment work was carried out in three phases over two years without interrupting the care of children and adolescents: • installation of a new day-hospital with nine beds and three cubicles situated right within the department. This enables children to receive their treatment on an ambulatory basis rather than having to be hospitalised in a conventional fashion. Trials of new drugs are also performed in this provision; • reorganisation of the central section of the outpatient provision in order to increase ambulatory care activity; • organisation of facilities around a central common area to aid social activity and establishment of relationships: school, plastic arts studio, an area for psychological and physiotherapy activity, information technology and areas for patient associations; • creation of a « parents’ hotel » with five emergency bedrooms.

DITEP The Drug Development Department (DITEP) carries out phase I clinical trials. Its patient capacity increased in 2014: 13 day-case places (4 of which opened in 2014) and 11 weekday hospital beds (one of which opened in 2014). In 2014, 791 DITEP patients were admitted to hospital, thus obtaining access to new therapies deriving from pharmaceutical or basic research. 7,088 outpatient consultations were carried out by DITEP doctors, mainly for patients on Early trials (27.7%) or from Lung disease (18.3%) and Haematology (16.2%) departments. DITEP ROUND TABLE 2014 On 3rd November, DITEP, headed by Professor Jean-Charles Soria, organised a round table at Gustave Roussy bringing together the leading French specialists in early trials. Participants included Professor Jean-Luc Harousseau, President of the French National Health Authority and Professor Agnès Buzyn, President of the National Cancer Institute. OF WHICH oming to the theatres for cancer surgery gives rise to anxiety and makes the patient feel vulne rable. In November 2014, Gustave Roussy introduced a care pathway whereby a patient who wished to do so could come to the theatre suite not lying down but on foot, accompanied by a theatre porter. With this d arrangement now in place for several months, 60% of the patients are choosing to arrive in this way. A first patient survey shows that this new facility is much appreciated. The patients say that they feel less passive and less disturbed and that the process is more compassionate. 28 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY 120,000 HOSPITAL STAYS OF WHICH16% WERE FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY AND MORE THAN 54% DID NOT REQUIRE ANY NIGHTS IN HOSPITAL (INCLUDING RADIOTHERAPY AND CHEMOTHERAPY SESSIONS) MORE THAN 6,000 TOMO-RADIOTHERAPY SESSIONS IN 250 PATIENTS TOMO-RADIOTHERAPY, FOR STILL MORE INNOVATION A lways keen to provide the most effective treatment for its patients and motivated by its reputation for innovation, in 2014 Gustave Roussy acquired apparatus of very high added technological value to offer its patients new, less invasive, more precise treatment methods. In this vein, the acquisition of the da Vinci Xi surgical robot was a major event of the year (see page 25). After acquiring Novalis Tx in 2013, two tomo-radiotherapy machines were purchased to add to the Radiotherapy Department’s range, now consisting of eight machines. This represents an investment of six million euros, 80% of which came from contributions by the public. A MORE PRECISE SYSTEM Tomo-radiotherapy is a method of delivering intensitymodulated radiotherapy. It is guided by 3D imaging and delivers personalised irradiation treatment very precisely for multiple tumours, those of complex shape and those close to sensitive organs. The technique limits the radiation dose to healthy tissue, thus reducing immediate and long term complications. At Gustave Roussy, we are principally using this technique for patients with large sarcomas, pelvic tumours which are hard to reach (prostate, uterine cervix, etc.) and head and neck cancers. Development of the Gustave Roussy radiotherapy service is part of the overall strategy of investment in high technology equipment with the aim of providing more precise and effective treatment in a context of innovation and safety for all. RADIOSURGERY: GUSTAVE ROUSSY’S WELL-ESTABLISHED EXPERTISE Living the future today THE LATEST EQUIPMENT, INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES, MORE COMPASSIONATE CARE: GUSTAVE ROUSSY ASSERTS ITS COMMITMENT TO THE DIRECT BENEFIT OF THE PATIENT. W ith radiosurgery – or very high precision targeted radiotherapy – patients receive comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment, a provision which best underpins the procedures and maximises the chances of cure. After two years of follow-up in more than 600 patients, Gustave Roussy’s outcomes of radiosurgery are in the first rank. Of the cerebral tumours treated, almost 90% have not progressed one year after treatment. These excellent figures result from techniques developed in continuous collaboration with our medical physicists with the aim of tailoring irradiation very precisely to tumour size and calculating almost to the millimeter the correct dose of radiation to be delivered in full safety. For each patient, the choice THE NOVALIS Tx TREATS TUMOURS WHICH ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO CONVENTIONAL SURGERY. of therapy depends on shared expertise and involves oncological surgeons and physicians and radiotherapists, so that the best technology available in the radiotherapy department can be selected. The Novalis Tx apparatus provides non-invasive treatment delivered over one or more sessions. It can treat or re-treat in a radical manner tumours which are not accessible to conventional surgery or are situated too close to sensitive organs. The first patients treated in this way at Gustave Roussy had primary cerebral tumours (benign or malignant) or cerebral metastases. Today a wider spectrum of tumours is being treated including those located in lung, liver, spinal cord and prostate. 29 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY THE PATIENT ENVIRONMENT CARE PATHWAYS, LIFE PATHWAYS G ustave Roussy keeps one step ahead in the compassionate, comprehensive and personalised treatment of patients combining cutting-edge medicine and concern for the quality of life. The Institute focuses on the patients and those close to them throughout the difficult periods of their journey. This desire to deliver “patient tailored” treatment is deeply embedded in our strategic vision – formalised in the 2015-2020 hospital plan. At Gustave Roussy, this different approach to patient care, combining care and cure, is underpinned by the Multidisciplinary Department of Patient Support Care i FOR... (DISSPO), which works across specialties. It strengthens and coordinates care designed to improve patient quality of life during treatment and in the « after cancer » phase. It covers pain relief, diet and nutrition, psychological support, social support, palliative care, etc. The « Mieux Vivre le Cancer » (Living Better with Cancer) initiative coordinates support activities and follows the patient. It complements medical and allied specialised support functions by measures focusing on well-being and physical and psychological fulfilment. Three years after it was implemented « Mieux Vivre le Cancer » has demonstrated its value and its efficacy. INNOVATIVE SUPPORT CARE In 2014, Gustave Roussy DISSPO developed some new initiatives to help patients benefit from better care. Two examples: THE « PAIN » TEAM now offers management of complex secondary neuropathic pain by invasive analgesic techniques: injections of botulinum toxin and application of capsaicin patches under cover of local and regional anaesthesia. DISSPO is developing and improving psychooncological management, and has established cognitive remediation groups and social rehabilitation groups for children treated for cerebral tumours, as well as cognitive remediation workshops for adults with cognitive problems. BETTER INFORMATION, FOR BETTER CARE. INFORMATION ONE OF THE KEYS TO PATIENT REASSURANCE H elping preparation for admission, providing the right information at the right time and encouraging patient independence; all of this enables the patient to start treatment more calmly. Over recent months, Gustave Roussy has developed a number of innovative methods of communicating with patients. This is now easier because of the Institute’s new website, which is designed to respond to patients’ information needs and is fully accessible to mobile phone technology. In addition, we have continued to put video material on line on the website giving patients simple, targeted information on care pathways, treatments, etc. We have also instituted the sending of SMS reminders 48 hours prior to an appointment which was arranged several months earlier. Finally, Gustave Roussy suggests that patients form connections with each other through the “My Hospi Friend” social network, set up to tackle the isolation felt by hospitalised patients. CANCER - CARE PATHWAYS - ILE-DEFRANCE REGION CAPRI is a clinical trial sponsored by Gustave Roussy. An Internet portal is available to patients after an admission to enter information on their state of health and to locate information and advice. A facility intended for health care professionals links care staff at the Institute with family doctors and care networks. At the Institute, two nurse coordinators regularly contact patients to review their state of health. In 2015, 500 patients will use this facility in the context of the CAPRI trial. 30 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY CANCER CAMPUS-GRAND PARIS BRINGING TALENT TOGETHER TO INNOVATE C SADEV94 ancer Campus was established by Gustave Roussy and its partners in Val-de-Marne and the Ile-de-France. It is developing a “bio cluster” on a global scale, which is committed to innovation in oncology by bringing together research groups and training programmes of the highest quality. This biocluster is set in an 82 hectares development site which will have a connecting station on the Grand Paris Express railway line in 2022. It comprises an extension of research capacity, the installation of Paris Sud University, a bioparc for innovative companies, patient facilities, companies, student life and, finally, housing and public utilities. Late in 2011, Cancer Campus established Villejuif Bio Park, an “enterprise zone-enterprise hotel” to house new enterprises specialised in biotechnology. The building is now 90% occupied. The lay section of Cancer Campus and its Cancer Contribution component represent a novel tool of health democracy. Gustave Roussy is also one of the landmark sites in the Vallée Scientifique de la Bièvre (Bièvre Scientific Valley) and is contributing to the development of a “pilot health territory” by helping to form connections to the health needs of the local population. Because of the high quality of its research and the very large number of patients it receives, Gustave Roussy acts as a magnet in terms of attracting scientific development in the Ile-de-France and as an engine of growth in relation to Grand Paris. www.cancer-campus.com www.cancercontribution.fr PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE CAMPUS GRAND PARC COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SITE.

CHEVILLY-LARUE HOSPITAL CENTRE, SECOND GUSTAVE ROUSSY SITE In late 2013 it was decided to merge Gustave Roussy with the Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre, which specialised in respiratory diseases. Preparatory work proceeded throughout 2014 and the merger took place on 1 st January 2015. Because of this short time-scale, preparatory work had to be carried out swiftly. This included bringing separate teams together, training, administrative convergence, harmonising equipment, merging information systems, works management, cost control and legal aspects. The efforts made by everybody concerned meant that even before the merger agreement was officially signed, services in every area were already harmonised. The medical plan for the ChevillyLarue site was set in train in 2014 by Professor Michel Ducreux, medical coordinator, thanks to the cooperation of the care and medical teams and of all the operational directorates. The transformation of the Chevilly-Larue site has already started and the 5.3 M€ investment programme is projected to run over five years. The merger agreement signed by the parties on 11th July 2014 included a commitment by the Institute to re-employ all staff. An interim consultative body was set up in January 2014 and the integration of CHSP personnel was effected on 1st January 2015. 31 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY STUDENTS AND PARTNERS PREPARING TOMORROW’S RESEARCHERS AND CARE TEAMS IN FRANCE AND ABROAD. The transmission of knowledge cannot be dissociated from research but it is also part of the Institute’s clinical mission and its provision of care. This important activity acquired a new dimension in 2012 with the creation, in partnership with Paris University-Sud, of the École des Sciences du Cancer, an institution which is unique in France, because it is the only one to assemble a high quality teaching body to provide training covering the whole field of oncology ranging from basic research to clinical practice. The courses are usually multidisciplinary and are attuned to the emergence of new posts in the world of oncology. More widely, the transmission of skills and experience goes beyond the teaching setting and even crosses national borders: Gustave Roussy is involved in the creation or improvement of departments and care facilities around the world. Living the future today also means sharing knowledge to advance understanding. teaching Teaching at Gustave Roussy on video 32 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY I am living the future today CLAUDIO NICOTRA, CLINICAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE AT DITEP. In 2012, Claudio Nicotra studied for his University Diploma in Clinical Research in Oncology (DURCO) at Gustave Roussy. This one year course, provided by the École des Sciences du Cancer and the Paris-Sud Medical Faculty, specifically offers a combination of theoretical instruction, given by leading specialists from all departments of the Institute, and a six month practical attachment. It is also the only oncologically specialised University Diploma which trains clinical research associates. Once he had obtained his diploma, Claudio came to work at DITEP where he coordinates phase I clinical trials. “This very comprehensive course enabled me to function from the moment I completed the training”. 33 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY PHD IN ONCOLOGY EXCELLENCE IN ONCOLOGY ESTABLISHED WITHIN THE ÉCOLE DES SCIENCES DU CANCER, THE COURSE OF EXCELLENCE IN ONCOLOGY – FONDATION PHILANTHROPIA HAS THE GOAL OF TRAINING TEN INDIVIDUALS TO A HIGH LEVEL, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON AMBITIOUS AND ADVANCED TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH. Recent advances such as targeted therapies and immunotherapy represent a revolution in the fight against cancer, which now finds itself at a crossroads. Embarking on new paths, extending them and opening them up for every patient necessitate training to a high level in a combination of complex disciplines. This is the goal of the Course of excellence in Oncology – Fondation Philanthropia which takes on its third intake on 1st October 2015. Established within the École des Sciences du Cancer (Paris-Sud University – Gustave Roussy) and supported by the umbrella Fondation Philanthropia to the extent of 2 ME over four years, this programme involves training of ten individuals. DOCTORAL STUDENTS WITH HIGH POTENTIAL Doctors, pharmacists and engineers, half of the chosen candidates come from outside France. Their dual course over three years is completed by a thesis in science, oriented towards research and innovation. DNA repair, molecular medicine, radiobiology, onco-haematology, immunotherapy and molecular epidemiology are among the fields covered. The candidates are selected not only for their research potential but also for their ability to teach and train others. Thus, the future transmission of skills and knowledge is taken into account. These students are remunerated. They receive personalised training within the Paris-Sud University’s École Doctorale de Cancérologie. They carry out their research on the Gustave Roussy site where they are supervised by a clinician or researcher and possibly may enter into collaboration with other international centres of excellence. DOCTORAL STUDENTS SPEAK One of these PhD students, Dorine De Jong, is a biomedical engineer with a thesis in oncology. “When you are excited by something and a perfectionist,” she points out, “you want the best. I applied because the course could give me everything I was looking for. It is an excellent programme and the remuneration means that I can manage without any worries.” Anna Gueiderikh is halfway through a dual course in medicine and science. “I am very impressed by the numbers of high-quality doctors and researchers,” she says, “The proximity to the hospital means that we have to face the reality of patients.” Bertrand Routy is a Canadian doctor and he too has found what he wanted. “There were three reasons for applying: the excellence of this oncology research centre, one of the best in the world; the completely bilingual environment, a real plus when one is an English speaker; and finally the emphasis on research with personalised medicine and courses in immuno-oncology.” Living the future today 2 M€ OVER FOUR YEARS FINANCED BY THE FONDATION PHILANTHROPIA TO TRAIN 10 INTERNATIONAL HIGH QUALITY SPECIALISTS 34 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY TEACHING: REVIEW OF THE YEAR PREPARING FOR TOMORROW’S ONCOLOGY T 26 UNIVERSITY DIPLOMAS 2,300 raining for tomorrow’s oncology is one of Gustave Roussy’s principal missions. Education and the sharing of knowledge are deeply rooted in the Gustave Roussy culture and vocation. The Institute has an unrivalled experience of nearly 90 years of onco logy. In order to improve the essential connections which should link training, research and patient care, Gustave Roussy founded the École des Sciences du Cancer within the Faculty of Medicine at Paris-Sud University. The Institute has forged strong links with Paris-Sud University – future Paris-Saclay University– and its four research and training units in Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences and Economics-Management. The strength of the collaboration between Gustave STUDENTS AND 500 STAFF TRAINED 90 % OF THE TEACHERS COME FROM PARIS-SUD UNIVERSITY AND/OR FROM GUSTAVE ROUSSY TRANSMIT EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE, SO KNOWLEDGE MAKES PROGRESS. Roussy and the Medical Faculty derives from the École des Sciences du Cancer, and enables us to establish a real continuum between innovation and knowledge, each institution benefitting from the expertise of the other. CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH QUALITY TRAINING PROGRAMMES Since its establishment in 2012, the École des Sciences du Cancer has offered teaching in oncology, incorporated in the university networks of Paris-Sud University. High quality training is provided there by recognised experts and those at the cutting edge in oncology. Oncology teaching at Gustave Roussy is provided by a faculty of 26 university teachers and 214 medical practitioners with teaching responsi bilities. Each year they devote 40,000 hours – of which 5,000 are at university level – to teaching 2,300 students and 500 doctors, nurses, professionals allied to medicine, research workers and engineers. These courses comprise: oncology modules of undergraduate medical studies, DES and DESC, 26 university diplomas in oncology, some forty scientific seminars and master’s degrees (M1 and M2). As for the Ecole Doctorale de Cancérologie, this is the only doctoral school in France devoted solely to oncology. 35 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY It has 85 units which can accept doctoral students and each year 55 of the latter are trained. CONFIRMING ITS PLACE AS AN AGENT OF PROGRESS In the context of the 2015-2020 hospital plan, the high quality training offered by the École Doctorale de Cancérologie will continue to be provided and will expand, with a particular debt to its sponsor, Fondation Philanthropia. During the year 2014, four new doctoral students were recruited as the second intake of “Course of excellence in Oncology – Fondation Philanthropia” (see page 33) and have also joined the École Doctorale de Cancérologie. CONNECTED LEARNING In response to the issues raised by innovative therapies, the École des Sciences du Cancer developed a new teaching model consisting of e-sessions with student feedback, and on-line seminars. In 2014, the medical and scientific library became accessible on line and 200 hours of classes were made available on a digital facility. In 2015, this teaching facility will expand and will provide novel training based, for example, on digital simulation. This will facilitate regular assessments of participants and teachers. It will also link in to the PACRI (Parisian Alliance of Oncology Research Institutes) commitment to put modules of e-learning in oncology on line. 240 TEACHERS, PRACTITIONERS AND NON-PRACTITIONERS 40 SCIENTIFIC SEMINARS 40 ,000 HOURS DEVOTED TO TRAINING, OF WHICH 5,000 ARE AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL Theory Real and virtual classes MENTORED TRAINING The École des Sciences du Cancer also organises training on an international basis by offering tailor-made teaching incorporating immersion apprentiships accompanied by individual mentors at Gustave Roussy, distance learning and teaching in English. In 2014, a hundred Kazakh oncological surgeons and physicians received such mentored training at Gustave Roussy (see page 38).

This thorough and novel analysis of tumours facilitates the correct choice of treatment in patients on the personalised medicine programme. After carrying through the 2009- 2013 development project, the keynote of which was the implementation of personalised medicine, Gustave Roussy moved on to determine its strategic goals for 2015-2020. During 2014, all of the Institute’s teams involved themselves in thinking this through in working groups, interviews or written contributions. The major lines of thought were shared with the greatest number, to work out Gustave Roussy’s pathway for the next five years. Innovation was to be the keystone of our vision for the future. > AND TOMORROW? High-throughput sequencing will enable us to assess the value of NGS (next-generation sequencing) in clinical practice. > AND TOMORROW? Engine of scientific, technological and organisational innovations, the Institute sees patient care as the end-point of research in the service of patients. The development of clinical trials, discoveries in immunotherapy, molecular medicine for the largest number of patients; all of these make Gustave Roussy a catalyst of progress in oncology. February GUSTAVE ROUSSY INVESTS IN TOMO-RADIOTHERAPY Gustave Roussy has two tomo-radiotherapy machines: the first started work in February, the second in October. Progress in radiotherapy depends on a global strategy focusing on the use of high techno logy apparatus to develop more precise and effective treatment while limiting side effects. This double acquisition, at a cost of six million euros, was made possible by the generosity of the Institute’s donors and sponsors. > AND TOMORROW? Gustave Roussy launches a programme of hypofractionated radiotherapy By giving a higher dose at each session, hypofractionation reduces the duration of treatment and improves the quality of care. This programme is key to strategy over the next decade and will reinforce the Institute’s standing. May GUSTAVE ROUSSY’S HIGH PROFILE AT ASCO AND THE MAJOR INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCES At the 50th ASCO Meeting in Chicago (2014), Gustave Roussy teams presented their clinical and translational research studies. These were the subject of 18 oral communications, 10 of which were delivered by Gustave Roussy doctor researchers, and 37 poster presentations. The 6th WIN symposium, instigated by Gustave Roussy and accredited by ASCO, reviewed the state of know ledge in the field of precision medical treatment of cancer. This was attended by 400 individuals from more than 35 countries. April 2ND INTAKE IN THE “COURSE OF EXCELLENCE IN ONCOLOGY” Four students were selected to form the second intake of this PhD programme in Oncology at Gustave Roussy. This dual course combines madeto-measure classes and production of a scientific thesis. The “Course of excellence in Oncology – Fondation Philanthropia” is based in the École des Sciences du Cancer with support from Fondation Philanthropia. It is intended to train 10 individuals (three intakes) in innovative aspects of the posts of the future in clinical oncology. > AND TOMORROW? Philanthropia, leading sponsor of Gustave Roussy, is committed to renewing this course beyond the three intakes initially envisaged. > AND TOMORROW? TAT, ASCO, WIN, ECCO, Paris Breast Rendez-vous… Gustave Roussy medical researchers participate through their presentations and publications in the most significant international scientific advances. June REVIEW OF CANCER REVOLUTION The campaign “Cancer Revolution” finished in 2013 with the 10 M€ target exceeded. The Gustave Roussy Foundation, engine of this fundraising campaign, organi sed an evening at the Molitor swimming pool to round off the campaign and thank major donors for their contributions. An auction of street-art conducted by Emmanuelle Beart and Maitre Arnaud Oliveux realised a total of 319,000 €, with special thanks to the Philanthropia Foundation for doubling the auction receipts, and to the sponsors of the evening: Colony Capital, Molitor, Accor, the Dassault Group, Artcurial and the agnès b Donation Fund. Thanks also to Central-Dupont, JogSwimwear, Patyba, PRPA, Pure Bonheur and Taittinger. > AND TOMORROW? Gustave Roussy is developing a specific strategy which seeks to attract donations from leading donors and sponsors in France and from abroad. A new campaign committee faces the challenge of increasing donations and gifts between now and 2020 substantially, in order to finance innovation directly benefitting patients. July September MERGER AGREEMENT WITH THE CHEVILLYLARUE HOSPITAL CENTRE CREATION OF CANCER CORE EUROPE Gustave Roussy and five European centres of excellence formed the consortium Cancer Core Europe. This research organisation will share data and seek to develop the continuum between clinical research and treatment of patients. Cancer Core Europe will represent a real strike-force against disease with its critical volume of work enabling it to contribute in all fields of basic, translational and clinical research. Gustave Roussy and the Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre signed a cooperation agreement with a view to a merger. On 1st January 2015, the Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre became a Gustave Roussy site. The objective was to respond to the growing numbers of new patients and to improve care pathways. Over a period of a few months, teams were trained, building work carried out and a medical plan drawn up. > AND TOMORROW? To respond to the research demands of the future, which depend on the handling of > AND TOMORROW? Gustave Roussy – Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre will implement its own medical plan comprising new methods of dispensing care: personalised cancer prevention measures in atrisk individuals, improved cardiology services and admission of patients from abroad together with their families. August A MAJOR PUBLICATION ON RESISTANCE TO TARGETED THERAPIES Researchers from Gustave Roussy/Inserm/Paris-Sud published the results of a study on mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapy in melanoma in the prestigious scientific journal Nature. This throws new light on the loss of efficacy of drugs and opens up new lines of research and management of these aggressive skin tumours with application also to some cancers of thyroid, colon, lung and brain. > AND TOMORROW? The establishment of a major research centre on an international scale fostering the integration of all types of research: basic, clinical, epidemiological, human and social sciences, bio-statistics, bio-informatics, systems biology, biophysics and technology. ever increasing quantities of data, six European cancer centres of excellence will share their progress in research through an e-hospital – the Cancer Core Europe network. The consortium treats 60,000 new cases annually, manages 300,000 courses of treatment and around one million outpatient visits, and conducts more than 1,500 clinical trials. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY November THE GAME-CHANGING ROBOT Gustave Roussy is the first hospital in Europe to acquire da Vinci Xi, the latest generation surgical robot. This robot is designed to aid patient care, research and training and is used for innovative procedures in abdominal, gynaecological, ENT and breast surgery as well as reconstructive plastic surgery. This strategic investment costing 2.8 M€, was made possible by a donation from the Fondation Philanthropia, Gustave Roussy’s leading sponsor. > AND TOMORROW? The Institute is launching its programme of innovation in oncological surgery with the intention of developing new procedures by combining three advanced therapeutic techniques: euronavigation, endoscopy and robotic surgery. October ACTION FOR “PINK OCTOBER” Gustave Roussy prepared itself for the month devoted to the fight against breast cancer. A week of lectures and functions within the Institute were arranged with the goal of informing the public about the disease and the latest advances in treatment. 38,000 people participated, as part of “Pink October” 2014, in the walking race, Odysséa Paris, which raised more than 470,000 euros for clinical research and development of personalised treatment at Gustave Roussy. > AND TOMORROW? Throughout the year, the Institute organises events intended for patients and their families to coincide with world or national days: “Pink October” for breast cancer; “Blue March” for colon cancer; the national day for screening and prevention of skin cancer through the #connaistapeau campaign; the tobacco-free day; the patient safety week; etc. December OPENING OF THE NEW PAEDIATRIC UNIT BY MARISOL TOURAINE After 18 months of building work, the Department of Childhood and Adolescent Oncology opened its new premises. Colour, light play and transparency are the themes of the building, designed with the collaboration of care staff and patients’ families. The 1,600 m2 replanned area is intended to foster communication and to preserve family ties. This represents a new vision of patient management. The work, which cost 3.2 M€, was partly financed by donations. The unit was formally opened by Marisol Touraine, Minister of Health. > AND TOMORROW? A European leader in clinical trials in paediatric oncology with 40% of its young patients included in some twenty trials, Gustave Roussy is contributing to progress in research. Thus, researchers at Gustave Roussy have reported significant progress in the treatment of invasive glioma of the brain stem. This work was published in the journal Nature Medicine in May 2015. The study was supported by donations from patient associations including L’Étoile de Martin, la Famille et les amis de Noé Lemos and le Défi de Fortunée. 38 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY PROFESSOR EGGERMONT AND MR. TASMAGAMBETOV, MAYOR OF ASTANA, AT THE TIME OF SIGNATURE OF THE COOPERATION AGREEMENT, 13TH FEBRUARY 2014. THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY MODEL ESTABLISHED IN KAZAKHSTAN THE MAYOR OF ASTANA PARTNERS WITH GUSTAVE ROUSSY TO MODERNISE AND IMPROVE ONCOLOGY CARE IN ASTANA, WITH AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT. I Russia France Kazakhstan n the context of the modernisation of its health system, the Republic of Kazakhstan selected Gustave Roussy to support the development of its cancer care service. This long-term collaboration began in 2011 and is intended to raise oncology standards in this rapidly developing country to the highest international levels. “We have established a programme with the intention of steadily bringing the work in Kazakhstan up to European standards, starting by making the chemotherapeutic medication circuit safe,” explains Professor Alexander Eggermont, General Director at Gustave Roussy. In 2014, under the guidance of the Gustave Roussy Department of Clinical Pharmacy, doctors, pharmacists and health managers went every three months to the Astana (capital of the country) oncological centre to help train their Kazakh counterparts, establish new practices and lead working and study groups. OPENING OF A CHEMOTHERAPY PREPARATION UNIT As a result of this transfer of skills, a centralised chemotherapy preparation unit, the first in the country, was opened late in the year. Similarly, Kazakh teams are coming regularly to Gustave Roussy to improve their skills in the whole field of the chemotherapy circuit: developing a drug purchasing policy appropriate to patient needs, bringing protocols up to date, ensuring that the preparation of chemotherapy is safe, improving methods of administration of medication with a view to nurse and patient safety, etc. The model which has been put in place in this way in Astana is susceptible to gradual application in other centres in the country. The creation of a referral centre for bone marrow transplantation is one of the other projects currently being conducted by Gustave Roussy in Kazakhstan. A dedicated laboratory and clinical unit will be opened in a few months’ time at the Astana National Medical Research Centre. A LONG-TERM VISION Looking beyond patient care, close collaboration between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Institute extends naturally into other areas of expertise. This includes an agreement with the Kazakh Ministry of Health for a hundred oncological physicians and surgeons to be trained at Villejuif; a plan to establish a new research centre in Astana; and a contribution to public health by helping the Kazakh government to establish a pain programme on a national scale. “Our added-value is more than a technical one; it is an overarching vision which places patients at the heart of their treatment, while striving to preserve their health and well-being for the long-term,” adds Professor Eggermont. 39 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY TWO KEY TEACHING ANNIVERSARIES AT GUSTAVE ROUSSY THIS YEAR GUSTAVE ROUSSY CELEBRATES HOLDING ITS 30TH RENOWNED ANNUAL COURSE ON ANTI-TUMOUR CHEMOTHERAPY AND 15 YEARS OF THE ECOLE DOCTORALE DE CANCÉROLOGIE, FOUNDED BY THE PARIS-SUD MEDICAL FACULTY AND THE ÉCOLE NORMALE SUPÉRIEURE DE CACHAN. 30 YEARS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY TEACHING OF ONCOLOGY The “anti-tumour chemotherapy and medical treatment of cancer” course was established at Gustave Roussy in 1985 and has been delivered there since. It has become the benchmark in oncology teaching. It attracts participants not only from all over France, but also from abroad: “It is the only two week course conducted in French which reviews the basic information and the most recent developments in routine cancer treatment for an international audience,” underlines Professor Jean-Charles Soria, who has directed the course since 2007. 200 doctors, pharmacists, laboratory scientists and other research scientists attend this high quality teaching course annually. It is, moreover, recom mended by the National Board of the Order of Physicians to doctors who have obtained their qualifications abroad and want to practise oncology in France. 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ÉCOLE DOCTORALE DE CANCÉROLOGIE (ED 418) This was initiated in 2000 by Professors Thomas Tursz and Christian Auclair. It is responsible for training run by the Paris-Sud Medical Faculty in association with the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan and is based on the Gustave Roussy site. It provides doctoral students with oncology research experience through their thesis work and a training component delivered by the École des Sciences du Cancer. The students are, therefore, able to conduct the research for their theses in a setting dedicated to this where they are in constant contact with leading oncologists. The course consists of research work linked to the production of a doctoral thesis and additional relevant teaching. In fifteen years, 651 students have completed their theses while working in one of 85 research teams. The École Doctorale de Cancérologie is currently directed by Professor Martin Schlumberger, who is also head of the Nuclear Medicine Department at Gustave Roussy. The teaching is provided by leading specialists and researchers from Gustave Roussy and other hospitals. Their aim is to transmit the knowledge acquired in their day-to-day use of systemic cancer therapies. The main subjects covered are fundamental mechanisms of action of anti-cancer agents, conventional and novel therapeutic strategies in the common cancers and complications of treatment. The course also deals with new approaches currently being assessed in clinical trials in patients. In the thirty years since it commenced, the Gustave Roussy chemotherapy course has taught almost 3,000 health professionals.

Gustave Roussy is a non-profit making Private Health Establishment of Public Benefit: its innovations, in research and patient care, depend in large part on the generosity of civil society. Financial transparency, good management of donations and bequests and respect for donors’ wishes are longstanding principles of the Institute: its vigilance in this area is shown in the “Trust in Fundraising” approval by the National Charter Committee. Anyone may donate – individual, company or patient association – by payments, by sponsorship activities, by patronage of a specific research team and by support of a hospital or the Gustave Roussy Foundation. Supporting Gustave Roussy is to become committed to innovation in the fight against cancer. Your donation is transformed into a weapon against the condition and is helping patients every day. You are alongside patients, researchers, doctors and nurses today and tomorrow. It is living the future today. supporting 42 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY I am imagining the future today THIERRY BRUHAT, PATIENT EXCITED BY INNOVATION. Thierry Bruhat devoted his working life to innovation in business and related areas. An entrepreneur to his fingertips, he has no equal when it comes to getting people to work together, encouraging open and collaborative approaches and getting things done. From Silicon Valley to competitive areas in French business, he has been at the heart of the French innovation ecosystem. As a patient at Gustave Roussy for more than two years, he works with DITEP very frequently. With these visits to the various parts of Gustave Roussy, he has created his own goal: to use his years of experience of innovation in the service of other patients, particularly in the cancer field. With the encouragement of Professor Jean-Charles Soria, director of DITEP, he works with unflagging enthusiasm. With support from Sebastien Bazin, Chief Executive of Accor and VicePresident of the Gustave Roussy Foundation, and with the help of many of the Institute doctors, Thierry Bruhat devotes his energy to a concrete achievement of the goals of the « Molitor Évasion » programme. “This is the first stage of a well-structured concept of provision of support which is complementary to treatment. One day this will come to fruition as a fine well-being centre for every Institute patient. The beginning of a story.” 43 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION MISSION CANCER RESEARCH: A FOUNDATION BACKED BY GUSTAVE ROUSSY THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2005. ITS PRIMARY AIM IS TO FUND RESEARCH DIRECTED AGAINST CANCER. THUS, AT THE HEART OF ITS WORK IS THE DESIRE TO IMPROVE PATIENT TREATMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE CREATION OF THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION WAS A RESULT OF THE INSTITUTE’S DESIRE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SUPPORT OF AND INVESTMENT PROPER IN THE HOSPITAL AND SUPPORT OF THE RESEARCH POLICY. CANCER REVOLUTION: THE FIRST WAGER In 2010, the Gustave Roussy Foundation launched its first fundraising campaign: Cancer Revolution. The wager: to collect 10 million euros in three years to devote to a better understanding of cell mutations in each patient. Three years later, the outcome was strongly positive with more than 11 M€ collected by late 2014. The Cancer Revolution campaign funded personalised medicine: identification of each tumour’s genes, production of a molecular portrait of the patient in less than one month, the more effective characterisation of rare tumours, modelling of personalised treatment options and better analysis of treatment resistance associated with certain genomic profiles. The collected monies financed very high technology apparatus, a substantial part of the construction of the Molecular Medicine building in 2013, and also salaries of new research teams and laboratory personnel responsible for performing the molecular portrait tests… As for the patients, several hundreds of them have benefited from these innovations. THE NEXT BIG FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN The programme for a new fundraising campaign is being put together and is orientated even more towards patient quality of life. Gustave Roussy research scientists and doctor researchers are already very involved in discussing what research programmes should be funded. Some major possibilities have already come to the fore: • high-throughput sequencing to help understand each patient’s tumour better. In 2015, it is already making it possible to analyse more than 25,000 genes; • integration and analysis of all the laboratory and medical information of patients enrolled in persona lised medicine trials; • immunotherapy, thought of up to the present as a supplementary treatment, has now become a very promising avenue of research. Research workers at Gustave Roussy are faithful to their commitments and fully conscious of the role of involvement of civil society in these very important research projects. Thus, the researchers participate actively in development meetings with donors who are sympathetic to the cause, so as to establish close relationships with them, explain things simply, report back, crystallise concepts and help to project. 44 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY FUNDRAISING 2014 Generosity translated into events CLOSURE OF “CANCER REVOLUTION” Two prestigious functions were arranged in 2014 to raise funds for the Gustave Roussy Foundation. A unique auction of street art took place on 17th June at the Molitor swimming pool and raised 319,000 €. The 2nd Cancer Revolution Open at the Saint-Cloud Golf Club in October generated 40,000 €, thanks to the hard-working organising committee and to Nelson Monfort. MARS BLEU (BLUE MARCH): 2ND YEAR OF “ROULONS POUR LE CÔLON” During Blue March, the month devoted to publicity for colo-rectal cancer, Gustave Roussy repeated its “Roulons pour le côlon” event, with the support of its loyal partners, including Dell and Natixis. From 10th to 16th March a Gustave Roussy lorry drove around Paris to promote screening and raise funds for research. The operation finished off with the Val-de-Marne half-marathon, the funds raised being assigned to Gustave Roussy. 70,000 € were collected and were used to recruit an engineer to Doctor Fanny Jaulin’s team. TOGETHER AGAINST MELANOMA The group “Ensemble contre le mélanome” (Together against melanoma), which works regularly with Gustave Roussy, collects donations for prevention, education about screening and funding of research on skin cancer. Gustave Roussy is embedded in the work of the group in the person of Doctor Caroline Robert, head of the Gustave Roussy Onco-dermatology Department. In 2014, the group’s efforts raised 583 K€. On 2nd April, Thomas Dutronc had a free hand at the Casino de Paris for a fundraising concert for “Together against melanoma”. This gipsy jazz event raised more than 73 K€. For the music festival on 21st June, Gustave Roussy, Radio France, Olympia and the Crédit Mutuel combined to deliver a message on prevention and education about the development of melanomas. ODYSSÉA, SHOPPING SOLIDAIRE: A GREAT SUCCESS FOR PINK OCTOBER In 2014 the Odysséa walking race, which raises funds for the fight against breast cancer, was again very successful with 38,000 participants. Also in 2014, Gustave Roussy attracted 200 people to its first “charity zumba”. For the sixth year, Odysséa chose to fund research on personalised medicine in breast cancer at Gustave Roussy. 370,000 € was donated by Odysséa to which was added 100,000 € raised by the regular “Shopping Solidaire” (charitable shopping) event arranged by Printemps Nation (Paris). In six years Odysséa has raised almost 2 M€ for Gustave Roussy, devoted to research on breast cancer, especially in the area of personalised medicine and immunology, and for improvements in patient quality of life. 45 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY Our ambassadors in action ÉTOILE DE MARTIN, A LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER The Étoile de Martin association exhibits boundless energy and creativity in its activities related to childhood cancer: a cake for research, a petanque competition, swimming and marathon events, etc. It funds research and quality of life initiatives at Gustave Roussy. Over nine years the Étoile de Martin has handed over 1.636 M€. Its support and its trust are a source of strength for doctors and researchers at Gustave Roussy. DANS LA PEAU D’UN CHERCHEUR 1ST EVENT On 29th November Gustave Roussy mounted “Dans la peau d’un chercheur” (In a researcher’s shoes), a new venture in molecular medicine. Doctors and research scientists invited nearly 200 donors to share their passion and their knowledge during an educational visit to the laboratories: films; literature searching; drawing up a research budget and forming a team; and laboratory experiments. During the day the annual “Sponsor a researcher meeting” took place: a hundred individual patrons listened to the directors of sponsored projects presenting the findings of their current research and prospects for the future. Patronage is a strong and generous longterm commitment: the patron undertakes to support an individual team with automatic donations over a three year period, thus securing a part of its budget. IMAGINE FOR MARGO RACE – CHILDREN WITHOUT CANCER This recently formed charitable group has already established its name by its commitment, energy, professionalism and initiatives. “Imagine for Margo - Children without cancer” conducts ambitious fundraising projects for the fight against childhood cancer at Gustave Roussy. It contributes to the development of innovative European research programmes and to the introduction of quality of life projects in the Department of Childhood and Adolescent Oncology. Imagine for Margo works with the ITCC consortium to lobby for the development of drugs specifically for children and for accelerated access to novel treatments. LES AMIS DE MIKHY, ASSOCIATION WITH A BIG HEART In April 2014, Les Amis de Mikhy organised the 1st “Les chefs au grand cœur” (Big-hearted chefs) event. Over a week, 52 Parisian starred chefs contributed by providing a special menu or by donating a proportion of their takings. This event raised 50,000 € to fund specialist paediatric psychiatry care for children in hospital with cerebral tumours or in remission from them. Early in 2015, the Amis de Mikhy handed over 140,000 € for support care for young patients at Gustave Roussy. ERIC SCHNEIDER, A REMARKABLE CHALLENGE TO COUNTER CHILDHOOD CANCER Eric Schneider is a former patient at Gustave Roussy and father of a child followed at the Institute. By covering the equivalent of a marathon each day for 18 days, between Marseille and Villejuif, he managed to run 757 km to support the fight against childhood cancer. During the run he raised 19,050 €. 46 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY 4.4 M€ OF BEQUESTS AND OTHER GIFTS IN 2014 BEQUESTS AND OTHER DONATIONS, A POTENTIAL TO BE DEPLOYED EACH YEAR, SEVERAL MILLION EUROS COME TO GUSTAVE ROUSSY IN THE FORM OF DONATIONS, BEQUESTS AND LIFE INSURANCE. THESE PRECIOUS FUNDS ALLOW US TO ACQUIRE THE LATEST EQUIPMENT, TO IMPROVE OUR PATIENT FACILITIES AND TO CONTINUE TO PUSH BACK THE DISEASE. I n 2014, bequests and donations collected by Gustave Roussy came to 4.4 M€. The economic situation in France explains why the total amount has fallen in comparison with 2013. Life-insurance, a favourite saving vehicle of the French, and temporary donation of income from assets, less well-known by the public, are promising areas for philanthropy. NEW PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN “No need to own a chateau to make a bequest to a cancer charity”. In Gustave Roussy’s last publicity campaign, the famous Chambord chateau served as the visual background to the key message: there is no small contribution. Shares, furniture, property… All goods, whatever they may be worth, contribute to innovative research at Gustave Roussy. PUBLICISING THIS TYPE OF DONATION In 2014, a significant effort was made to inform the public about bequests and life-insurance. In addition to its publication in the donor magazine “Gustave Roussy & You” (70,000 copies), the press release “No need to own a chateau…” achieved wide distribution through 15 publications in the popular written press. This was supplemented by two weeks of broadcasts on local radio. In May 2015, Gustave Roussy launched a new ambitious campaign involving more active interventions in the media. Press releases in the mass-circulation written press were complemented by television and radio publicity and further press releases devoted solely to the subject of donations. directed at solicitors. In 2015, Gustave Roussy became still more involved with solicitors with a successful stand at the May 2015 Solicitors’ Conference. This summer, the Institute launched an information letter “BEQUEATH/CURE” intended for those making their wills and those helping them to do so. All through the year, the fundraising team will continue to meet solicitors and advisers about handling of wills. DISTRIBUTION OF DONATIONS, BEQUESTS AND OTHER GIFTS DONATIONS 11.3 M€ DEVELOPING A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH LAWYERS The Institute has strengthened its contacts with the lawyers who organise inheritance, draw up wills and advise those of their clients who wish to give a purpose to their wealth by making a donation. In 2014, solicitors’ offices were sent the Gustave Roussy donors’ magazine as well as specific e-mailings. Seven of the “No need to own a chateau…” advertisements have been published in the specialised press BEQUESTS, DONATIONS, LIFE INSURANCE AND OTHER GIFTS 4.4 M€ “LA LIONNE OU L’AUTRUCHE” A SHORT EDUCATIONAL FILM MADE ABOUT BREAST CANCER SCREENING AT GUSTAVE ROUSSY I n 2014, Gustave Roussy hosted the filming of the short film, “La Lionne ou l’Autruche” (The lioness or the ostrich). This won 1st prize awarded by the “Patients’ talents awards” jury 2014. It was produced by Leem and directed by Isabelle Sebagh, a former breast cancer patient at the Institute. The movie presents the portraits of two women who have to face the possibility of having breast cancer. The lioness takes the initiative and the ostrich is reluctant to face up to the problem. This fictional 7 minute film is homage to femininity. It was distributed in the context of Pink October and delivers a message on prevention and education about screening. This was a way both of acknowledging Gustave Roussy staff and, for the director, of transforming her experience into a work of art. “La Lionne ou l’Autruche” was combined with a short publicity item appealing for donations to Gustave Roussy. This 25 second clip was widely screened free of charge by a number of television channels. 47 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY 16.2M€ 16.15M€ FUNDRAISING IN 2014 + 15.1 % COMPARED WITH 2013 POSTS IN 2014 GUSTAVE ROUSSY’S ACCOUNT OF USE OF FUNDS DONORS, STILL MORE ACTIVE GUSTAVE ROUSSY AS A PRIVATE HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT OF PUBLIC BENEFIT IS AUTHORISED TO RECEIVE DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS WITH A VIEW TO FUNDING ITS ANTI-CANCER MISSION. F unds raised from the public derive from national canvassing and loyalty campaigns, specific initiatives, bequests and gifts. By holding events the Institute’s profile is maintained vis-à-vis potential donors, donations are encouraged and connections strengthened. DONORS REMAIN LOYAL AND NUMEROUS Funds raised in 2014 totalled 11.3 M€. This marked increase compared with 2013 (+ 37.1%) was mainly explained by a single donation of 2.4 M€ from Fondation Philanthropia. Donations to Gustave Roussy in memory of a deceased loved one increased by 26%; donors wish in this way to continue their fight by targeting their donations. Gustave Roussy recorded more than 80,000 donations (+ 2.5%) in 2014 and attracted more than 17,000 new donors. The stable number of new donors and of donations reflects Gustave Roussy’s attractions as a charity and the loyalty of its donors despite a difficult economic situation. INCREASING SPONSORSHIP Companies, foundations and charitable associations are active supporters through their donations (which increased by 5% in 2014) of innovative research programmes at Gustave Roussy. Sponsorship is a major source of development funding for the next three years. Donations from the big names in charitable giving such as the Philanthropia Foundation, the Dassault Group, Natixis, agnès b, Clear Channel, Crédit Mutuel, Dell and Matmut are supplemented by those from the commitment of smaller companies who are striving loyally to speed up advances in research. These include Cop Copine, EBSCO, La Quincaillerie and PDRR Giacalone. MAINTAINING CONTACT FOR BEQUESTS, DONATIONS AND LIFE INSURANCE In view of the difficult economic situation, which explains the fall of 16.4% in bequests, Gustave Roussy intends to communicate more with solicitors’ offices in France, where these bequests are, in fact, organised. USE OF FUNDS Spending on its social missions totalled 6.7 M€, an increase of 25.4%. This included direct intervention by Gustave Roussy to a sum of 4.6 M€, and funded: • basic research to a total of 1 M€; • research programmes or investment (building, purchase of materials) to an amount of 2.2 M€. Half of these amounts was directed to the “Push back the walls for the children” programme; • department specific projects, paid for out of funds raised by themselves to a sum of 1.3 M€; • 60,000 € for admissions and patient quality of life. Otherwise, social missions included, to a sum of 2.13 M€, payments from other organisations such as the Gustave Roussy Foundation and missions carried out abroad under the annual assignment covering coordination of the work of the Franco-African Paediatric Oncology Group (GFAOP). The expenses of research funds were down by 14%, at a total of 2.37 M€. Major projects were financed in 2014 thanks to the generosity of donors: • purchase of the latest generation da Vinci Xi surgical robot, a strategic investment made possible by a one-off donation of 2.78 M€ spread over two years from the Philanthropia Foundation to fund the acquisition of equipment, related consumables and maintenance; • the acquisition of two tomo-radiotherapy machines costing a total of 5.2 M€ overall for two years, funded by donations and bequests; • the “Push back the walls for the children” programme was a campaign initiated in 2012 appealing for one-off donations. Thanks to our donors, this was successful and has now closed. Half of the 3.5 M€ required for construction work was funded through donations and bequests. m FOR... OPERATING ON THE INTERNET In 2014, funds raised through the internet rose by 28%, while there was an increase in amounts collected from on-line personal fundraising pages by 35% compared with 2013. Gustave Roussy’s efforts to grow fundraising via the internet have borne fruit: 5% of funds raised now come in this way; the aim is to increase this to 10% within three years. GUSTAVE ROUSSY IS GRATEFUL In 2014, The Institute decided to display its gratitude to its partners by erecting the “Ambassadors’ Wall” in the hospital entrance. In April, it also invited its donors and their staff to a one-off private evening event at the Unesco building with a recital by the famous Russian pianist Denis Matsuev. 48 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION’S ACCOUNT OF USE OF FUNDS GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION: SUPPORTING CANCER RESEARCH PERFORMED AT THE INSTITUTE ESTABLISHED IN 2005, THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY RESEARCH FOUNDATION IS RECOGNISED AS BEING OF PUBLIC BENEFIT. ITS MISSION IS TO USE FINANCIAL MEANS TO FACILITATE RESEARCH WORK AT THE INSTITUTE. 4.4M€ OF DONATIONS AND GIFTS 1.4M€ OF DONATIONS TO THE ISF CAMPAIGN, I.E. + 30% I n 2014, donations and gifts collected by the Foundation reached a sum of more than 4 M€. The ISF campaign had a very positive effect as donations from this campaign totalled 1.4 M€, representing an increase of 30%. Events organised by the Foundation raised around 360,000 € in 2014. The 2nd “Cancer Revolution” open golf competition at Saint-Cloud and the auction of “street art” at the Molitor swimming pool succeeded in stimulating the generosity of big donors. The latter event marked the occasion of the closure of the Cancer Revolution campaign 2010-2013, which raised more than 11 M€ for personalised medicine, the initial target having been 10 M€. THE SPONSORS, VITAL SUPPORTERS OF THE GUSTAVE ROUSSY FOUNDATION In the setting of the sponsorship agreement with Fondation Philanthropia signed in 2013, 1.6 M€ was handed over in 2014; this quadrennial contract to a total sum of 5.45 M€, has the goal of providing financial support for the personalised medicine programme, for a project to improve patient quality of life and for the “Course of excellence in Oncology – Fondation Philanthropia” (see page 33). The Fondation Philanthropia is now the largest private sponsor of the Institute. Natixis is another supporter of research at Gustave Roussy. This latter sponsor, made a commitment to the Gustave Roussy Foundation in late 2011 to support three new research teams financially up to a total sum of 1.5 M€ over five years. EXPENDITURE In conformity with its objectives, in 2014 the Foundation supported research on cancer carried out at Gustave Roussy: funding of teams, development of international research programmes, acquisition of apparatus and the fitting out of laboratories. In this way, the Foundation funds the production of molecular portraits of tumours to the sum of 650,000 €. The accounts of the Gustave Roussy Foundation, audited by KPMG, are the subject of a publication of Annual Expenditure Account of Funds Raised sent to all donors and available for downloading from the Gustave Roussy website.

Since 2013, the Institute’s approach to responsible purchasing has involved taking account of “sustainable development” in evaluation of our suppliers’ tenders. • Management of energy Gustave Roussy is a consumer of energy on a scale which has substantial environmental and cost implications. The Directorate of Purchasing and Logistics is aware of the problems of energy management and is committed to regular, detailed monitoring of energy consumption. m3 30,352 he Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the concept which informs the ways in which companies assimilate social and environmental factors into their activity. An organisation on the scale of Gustave Roussy could not be in the vanguard without adhering to the highest societal standards. That is why the RSE is incorporated into Gustave Roussy’s 2015-2020 hospital plan. It has three principal elements, the first being our aim to attract staff and retain them, so that our organisation remains effective in the fields of research, patient care and education. The second is our responsibility in relation to the employment needs of the locality in which we are situated and the third is the preservation of the environment by meeting exemplary standards in our use of energy and the handling of waste. • Management of waste disposal Gustave Roussy has set targets of recycling 200 tonnes of paper per year between now and 2020 and of lowering its medical waste production by 5 to 6%, a reduction of 12 to 15 tonnes per year. This year (2015), paper recycling is being MWh GAS CONSUMPTION Living 38,000 FUEL CONSUMPTION the future today litres IN 2015, THE INSTITUTE WILL EMBARK ON A BIODEGRADABLE WASTE CYCLING PROJECT TOTALLING 80 TONNES PER YEAR. piloted in some departments. In the theatre suite, an approach involving all the staff is aiming to reduce deleterious environmental effects: waste production, consumption of water and electricity, pollution, etc. Metal (scalpel and laryngoscope blades…) recycling is already in place. SYMPATHY AND PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE Motivating staff in a comprehensive approach to achieve excellence at an individual and collective level requires a dynamic human resources policy. In particular, this incorporates micromanagement of teams, new technologies and e-learning. Gustave Roussy, through the efforts of its Human Resources Department, encourages its employees to develop their skills by combining training with personal and professional growth. Through its training policy, Gustave Roussy aims to improve the knowledge and technical skills of its staff and also supports those with increa sing leadership roles. These individuals will have responsibilities for operational direction, in forming teams to tackle new projects and in the motivation and development of skills in those with whom they work. A managerial development programme was introduced in 2010. It comprises a wide range of practical training modules tailored to the indivi dual according to their level of responsibility within the organisation. Time is also set aside for joint consideration of current organisational problems. 51 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY GUSTAVE ROUSSY, THE AMBITION TO SET STANDARDS Communication, a good working environment, equality of opportunity and safety are elements of the first importance in making Gustave Roussy a good employer. This desire to set high standards came to the fore at the time of the merger with Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre, which proceeded not only without job losses but with support and training for those who were being newly incorporated. Gustave Roussy also introduces practices which make it a more attractive employer with loyal, talented staff so that stable teams can contribute to research, patient care and teaching. • Renewed commitment to employment of the disabled In March 2012, Gustave Roussy signed its first enterprise agreement to foster employment and integration of disabled individuals. The outcome is very encouraging with 21 people being recruited against a target of 20 and a total of 118 disabled employees in 2014 compared with only 66 in 2011. The measures adopted have been fruitful, since Gustave Roussy met governmental guidelines, which means that it is exempted from paying the Agefiph levy. The Institute continued its commitment by signing, in late 2014, a renewal of the agreement, to apply from 2015 to 2017. • Work satisfaction under the microscope A work psychologist carried out a work satisfaction survey in the patient care departments. This was initiated late in 2013 and also aimed to suggest improvements and to help hospital management to identify measures to increase satisfaction levels. In total, 862 individuals participated in the survey. The 65% level of participation reflected interest in this approach and in the elements being examined: a sense of fairness, the material and social environment, communication, recognition and psychological stress. The results of this first approach are positive in that a number of good practices were found to be already in place. This survey might be performed twice or three times a year and would thus become a barometer of satisfaction within the organisation. • Equality of opportunity Special attention continues to be paid to reinforcing the arrangements in favour of equal employment treatment of men and women, to avoid age-discrimination and to facilitate cultural integration of new arrivals. In addition, there has been a strengthening of the commitment to the working age population in Gustave Roussy’s geographical locality: welcoming young people seeking work experience, improving local affordable housing opportunities and increasing the number of places available in the crèche. 63% LEVEL OF SATISFACTION IN STAFF QUESTIONED SOCIAL INDICATORS AS OF 31/12/2014 Salaried staff (excluding Chevilly-Larue personnel employed from the 1st January 2015) 2,768 employees 3,212 8.8% Rate of absenteeism 2,067 701 Mean salary 50 6 Collective agreements signed creation of posts in CDI 200 CDI 472 CDD Total number of staff taken on in the patient care and research departments 44,065 Hours of training 2,678 Attachee training 94 % Rate of completion of training programmes 118 Disabled employees in the workforce 52 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY GOVERNANCE RALLYING OF THE WHOLE WORKFORCE AT GUSTAVE ROUSSY AROUND COMMUNICATION AND QUALITY. A t Gustave Roussy, the pursuit of quality depends both on high quality management and everybody’s desire that the Institute should be successful. Governance is based on a model which values integration and delegation, involving ease of communication and individual and collective autonomy. This form of governance gives departments, in colla boration with the Board, a major role in the definition of objectives and resources. The Committees are themselves directed in an integrated and decentralised way; their role will be strengthened in future years. The management delegation flowing from internal decentralisation results in independence, flexibility and effectiveness. It produces high quality work and contributes to managerial innovation, a priority area of the Institute’s strategy for 2015-2020. The Board, the medical body, nursing and admi nistrative staff: it is all of these at Gustave Roussy whose efforts result in patient care which is welcoming and effective.

Organization chart on July 1st 2015. 54 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY WORK ACTIVITY AND FINANCIAL RESULTS IN 2014, GUSTAVE ROUSSY WAS CLOSE TO FINANCIAL BALANCE (- 1.3 M€) AS A RESULT OF AN INCREASE IN ADMISSIONS AND ANCILLARY SOURCE INCOME AND TO GOOD CONTROL OF EXPENSES. THESE FIGURES, THE RESULT OF A COLLECTIVE EFFORT, SHOULD BE EMPHASISED STILL MORE BECAUSE THE FORECAST DEFICIT WAS 4.9 M€. 17.9M€ FINANCING CAPACITY +3.1% PATIENTS ADMITTED G ustave Roussy therefore remained close to financial balance in 2014 (- 1,293 K€, i.e. 0.4% of overall revenue which now totals 313,845,713 €). This is after incorporating in the accounts an overall profit-sharing figure of 800 K€ (not budgeted), which may be compared with the budget forecast predicting a deficit of 4.9 M€. This marked improvement in results was due to a surplus of 7.6 M€ in revenue derived from both the French Health Insurance system and “paying and foreign patients”, as well as from other ancillary sources. In 2014, the number of new patients hospitalised was 3.1% higher at a total of 5,773 patients over the year. The number of full hospital stays exceeded targets by 3.3% and the 2013 figures by 4.6%. This represented an additional 848 hospital stays. Ambulatory activity did not reach the target (- 0.5%), but was still greater than in 2013 by 1.1%, i.e. 457 additional sessions compared with 2013. Finally, activity in radiotherapy met the target and increased by 4% compared with 2013 for outpatient sessions (i.e. + 2,177 sessions) and by 8% for sessions carried out on patients during a full hospital admission (i.e. + 439 sessions). Thus, T2A activity, paid at 100%, exceeded target by 1.1% (and that of 2013 by 3.1%) essentially because of the increased full-admission hospital load and a price effect for admissions excluding radiotherapy, where the PMCT (Mean Weighting per Case Treated) increased by + 1.6%. In addition to the 100% payment of T2A, there was a 432 K€ amount derived from unfreezing of contingency funds, the level of which is set by the authorities. At the same time, work involving “paying foreign patients” exceeded the budget by 5.7 M€, showing very strong growth in treatment of foreign patients in 2014 (+ 25% for admissions and + 32% for outpatient visits). Finally, under the category of ancillary income, the Drug Development Department (DITEP) and SORC (operational clinical research department) generated considerable revenue amounting to 1.6 M€ of additional income. This also demonstrated that Gustave Roussy is succeeding in staking its claim to be the leading European centre for clinical trials. Conversely, annual subsidies from Inserm and the CNRS (representing a budget of 2 M€) were not received in 2014. As for outgoings, the increase was controlled: salary costs exactly matched their budgeted amount. The boost of consolidating the profit-sharing budget of 800 K€, medical costs, logistic and structural costs (apart from special provisions and exceptional items related to the merger with CHSP) all varied by less than 1% on the 2014 forecasts. Monies set aside as contingency funds and other endowments (2.5 M€), as well as exceptional provision of 0.8 M€ explain 3.3 M€ of budgetary overrun out of a total of 4 M€ of additional outgoings in the 2014 hospital budget. In addition, a number of projects were completed in 2014: • work on the 2015-2020 hospital plan involved all of the staff; • preparation for the merger (effective from the 1st January 2015) with the Chevilly-Larue Hospital centre specialising in lung disease which enabled Gustave Roussy to increase its admissions; • major purchases were made (acquisition of a second tomo-radiotherapy machine for the Radiotherapy Department, the effects of which will be felt in 2015, acquisition of a surgical robot – the first of its type in France – thanks to a dedicated donation from the Fondation Philanthropia and completion of renovation works in the Department of Childhood and Adolescent Oncology, the cost of which was more than 3 M€ over several years). It was possible to make these purchases because of the generosity of donors and bequests from wills on the one hand and because of our virtually balanced financial results on the other. The latter meant that the auto-financing capacity (CAF) remained stable at 17.9 M€ (vs 18.3 M€ in 2013). The financial resources for the year reached 29.3 M€ and their disbursement 29.5 M€ (including 6.4 M€ reimbursement of loans) allowing working capital to remain almost unchanged in 2014 (deduction from working capital of 0.1 M€ compared with – 2.1 M€ the previous year). At the same time, the need for negative working capital fell to 5.7 M€, entailing a 5.8 M€ diminution in funds. As has been the case for several years now, the financial balance ratios have improved further. It is noteworthy that all of the 2014 ratios meet the target ratios set by decree: the financial independence ratio has fallen below the 50% (to 48.6%) limit, the debt/ asset ratio continued its fall below the 30% bar (to 26.9%) and the apparent duration of the debt stabilised at 4.7 years (vs the 10 years in the decree). 55 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | GUSTAVE ROUSSY AUDITOR’S REPORT ON GUSTAVE ROUSSY ANNUAL ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER 2014 Performing the function requested by the Board of Directors, we are delivering our report for the financial year ending 31st December 2014 on: • examination of the Gustave Roussy annual accounts as enclosed with this report; • the justification of our assessments; • the specific verification and information required by law. The annual accounts were drawn up by the Gustave Roussy Board. On the basis of our audit it is incumbent on us to express an opinion on these accounts. OPINION ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS We conducted our audit according to normal professional practice applicable in France. This requires the performance of due diligence to be reasonably assured that the annual accounts do not contain any significant faults. An audit comprises checking by sampling or other methods of selection of material to justify the sums and the information presented in the annual accounts. It also involves an assessment of the accounting principles employed, the significant estimates adopted and the overall presentation of the accounts. We consider that the material we have collected, upon which we have founded our opinion, is sufficient and appropriate in nature. JUSTIFICATION OF OUR ASSESSMENTS In application of the provisions of article L. 823-9 of the French Code of Commerce relative to the justification of our assessments, we inform you that the assessments made by us addressed whether the nature of the accounting principles applied was appropriate and whether the nature of the significant estimates adopted was reasonable, in particular for trapped capital, credits and provision for contingencies and liabilities. These assessments apply to our audit treatment of the annual accounts in their entirety and have, therefore, contributed to the formation of our opinion expressed in the 1 st part of this report. SPECIFIC VERIFICATION AND INFORMATION We also proceeded according to normal professional practice applicable in France to specific verifications required by law.

This annual expenditure account was drawn up under the direction of the President and the Treasurer of the Gustave Roussy Institute. It is incumbent on us to offer our opinion on the accuracy and consistency with the accounting documents of the information presented in this annual expenditure account of funds raised. We performed the due diligence which we considered to be required according to the professional guidance issued by the “Compagnie nationale des commissaires aux comptes” (National Association of Auditors). This diligence consisted of verification that the figures presented in the annual expenditure account of funds raised are consistent with the accounting documents of the organisation, and an assessment of their accuracy. These verifications do not constitute an audit of these expenditure accounts and are not intended to pass judgement on the appropriateness of the expenditure. At the outset, we proceeded to examine the annual accounts for the financial year ending 31 st December 2014 and we have presented our opinion without reservations in the report on the annual accounts which we released on 20th May 2015. We have no observations to make on the accuracy and consistency with the accounting documents of the information presented in the Gustave Roussy Institute annual expenditure account.
