Key Points

  • To characterize HRD-associated features and therapeutic responses in patient-derived ovarian cancers through genomic and transcriptional profiling.
  • Integrated DNA/RNA profiling of 32 FFPE ovarian tumor samples.
  • Assessment of genomic alterations, genomic instability score, and RB1 expression.
  • In vivo testing of olaparib response in HRD-positive models using NSG mice.
  • 71.9% of the tumors were serous adenocarcinomas; 93.8% had TP53 mutations.
  • HRD status was positive in 34.4% of cases; RB1-low expression was found in 21.9% of tumors.
  • One HRD-positive tumor showed a 68.1% median tumor volume reduction with olaparib treatment.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and BRCA1/2 alterations are key biomarkers for PARP inhibitor sensitivity in ovarian cancer. Transcriptional features such as RB1 expression may further refine biologic subgroups and therapeutic hypotheses. We performed integrated DNA/RNA profiling of FFPE ovarian tumors to characterize histologic distribution, genomic alterations, genomic instability score (GIS), RB1 expression, and in vivo olaparib response in selected HRD-positive models. Methods: Thirty-two patient-derived FFPE ovarian tumor blocks were prepared, and H85% compared to untreated controls. Conclusions: Overall, these findings suggest a meaningful correlation between genomic HRD status and in vivo therapeutic response, supporting the translational relevance of integrated profiling and the use of patient-derived models for preclinical investigations.
