• T cell receptor repertoire in cell-free DNA as a proxy for tumor infiltrates in patients treated with pembrolizumab

  Profiling tumour and systemic T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires can identify features associated with clinical benefit of cancer patients on immune checkpoint blockade therapy. This study reports on diversity and specificity analysis of TCR sequences from 59 tumor, 306 peripheral blood (PBMC), and 73 cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples from 81 patients with solid tumors treated with pembrolizumab. This analysis reveals that head and neck carcinomas have significantly lower PBMC diversity and shorter persistence of pembrolizumab-induced diversification compared to other cancers. Using GLIPHII (Grouping Lymphocyte Interactions with Paratope Hotspots), we find that tumor-derived clonotypes form non-microbial specificity signatures that are shared across patients and cancer types. Tumor-derived clonotypes are enriched in cfDNA compared to PBMCs, despite the diversity of cfDNA TCR repertories being two orders of magnitude lower than PBMCs. TCRs shared between tumors and cfDNAs persist in PBMCs beyond 50 weeks of treatment, suggesting cfDNA captures clonotypes contributing to anti-tumor immune surveillance.

• Transcriptomic insights into IPMN-associated PDAC progression

  This study investigates the transcriptomic heterogeneity and evolutionary progression of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and their associated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). Multi-region tumour sampling was performed to characterise spatial variation in gene expression and to identify transcriptional changes associated with malignant transformation. The project aims to improve understanding of tumour evolution in pancreatic cancer and to identify molecular pathways involved in IPMN-to-PDAC progression.

• RNA sequencing to characterize ALK

  ALK fusions are present in 3–5% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These fusions promote ligand-independent dimerization, resulting in constitutive activation of downstream signaling pathways, including RAS–MAPK and PI3K–AKT3. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the ALK in biopsies from a patient with ALK-positive NSCLC progressing on first-line lorlatinib

• Neo-CheckRay

  Patients with oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+), HER2-negative, early breast cancer (BC) have low pathological complete response (pCR) rates following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Phase 3 trials showed that adding an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) improves pCR, but there was less benefit in the PD-L1 negative tumours, characterised by an immune “cold” tumour microenvironment (TME). We hypothesized that immune-modulating stereotactic body radiation therapy (iSBRT) could enhance treatment response by reprogramming the immune deprived TME in early ER+/HER2- BCA. We conducted a phase 2, randomized, multicentre trial evaluating NACT plus iSBRT, with or without durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) and with or without oleclumab (anti-CD73) in 147 patients with high-risk, early, ER+/HER2- breast cancer patients.

• Profiling the genomic landscape and evolutionary history of polyploid giant cancer cells in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas

  Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs), characterised by multi-nucleation and atypical nuclear morphology, are a common feature of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas. While PGCCs may be a critical substrate for cancer evolution, their formation pathways and the genomic consequences of PGCCs remain relatively under explored. In this study, we characterise PGCCs in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, as well as their histological mimics, and use topographic single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) to investigate their genomic landscape. We selected PGCCs based on their nuclear morphology, including mono-nucleated or multi-nucleated bizarre, misshapen nuclei and analysed them at single-cell resolution. Our findings highlight PGCCs as a highly heterogeneous and evolutionarily dynamic component of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas.

• MPNST - 10X single nucleus DNAseq

  Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of tumour evolution is crucial for determining the drivers of cancer progression. Here, we comprehensively profile a primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) and its recurrence with a multi-omic and spatial approach at single-cell resolution. Leveraging the extensive heterogeneity in copy number aberrations (CNAs) as a native barcoding system, we fully resolve the evolutionary tree of this tumour revealing multi-furcations suggestive of ongoing chromosomal instability. We show gene dosage effects contribute to phenotypic diversity and are predominantly linear with the exception of FOS in a specific subclone. Using laser capture microdissection, we performed spatial lineage tracing in a human tumour, elucidating the relationship between local expansions and interactions between tumour cells and the microenvironment.

• Recurrent intra-tumour heterogeneity is a hallmark of metastatic prostate cancer

  The evolution of cancers from low grade to metastatic disease is a major determinant of cancer mortality. Cancer evolution involves a complex interplay between cell intrinsic genetics and transcriptional alterations and the extrinsic microenvironment. To define the key mechanisms underpinning metastatic development, we focused on the most lethal form of prostate cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and employed single-cell multi-omics and whole-genome sequencing to deeply profile 34 metastatic lesions from 9 patients obtained from rapid autopsy. We found that intra-tumour heterogeneity is an indicator of key evolutionary processes, characterised by recurrent tumour populations acting as critical functional components of the tumour ecosystem, irrespective of clonal and microenvironmental backgrounds. Unexpectedly, microenvironments across metastatic sites played a limited role while clonal evolution primarily promoted transcriptional noise. Intra-patient functional convergence of tumour ecosystems was observed across metastatic sites, pointing towards system-level selection pressures that drive the heterogeneity landscape of mCRPC. Our findings reveal functional evolutionary convergence of metastatic disease into units of intra-tumour heterogeneity identifying critical determinants of metastatic progression for therapeutic targeting. Note: matched WGS for some tumour single-cell experiments, as well as germline WGS for patients CA0027, CA0034, CA0035, CA0043, and CA0076, can be found in EGAS00001006598.

• Comprehensive benchmarking of methods for mutation calling in circulating tumor DNA

  This study provides a comprehensive benchmarking resource for somatic variant detection in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from cancer patients. Longitudinal plasma samples from colorectal and breast cancer cohorts were selected to create patient-matched dilution series spanning ultra-low to high circulating-tumour-DNA (ctDNA) fractions, while preserving each individual’s germline and clonal haematopoiesis background. Deep whole-genome sequencing (150×) and ultra-deep whole-exome sequencing (2,000×) generated a reference call set of ~37,000 single-nucleotide variants and ~58,000 insertions/deletions. These data enabled systematic evaluation of nine somatic variant callers across variable ctDNA levels and sequencing depths, and were further used to explore machine-learning–guided parameter tuning. The resulting dataset offers an openly accessible framework for developers and clinicians to assess and optimize somatic variant calling in liquid biopsy applications.
