CREBBP histone acetyltransferase domain mutations predict response to mTOR inhibition in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma

Résumé fourni par la source

Summary Despite the clinical and molecular heterogeneity of follicular lymphoma (FL), there remains a lack of biomarker‐directed therapeutic approaches in routine clinical practice, with the notable exception of the EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat in EZH2‐mutant FL. Here we examined whether gene mutation status predicts response to clinical mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) in FL, by performing targeted mutational profiling of biopsies from 21 relapsed/refractory FL patients treated with mTORi everolimus or temsirolimus within clinical trials. We observed an enrichment of mutations within the catalytic histone acetyltransferase (HAT) domain of CREBBP in mTORi‐responders, and describe distinct transcriptional characteristics and co‐occurring mutations of FL harbouring these mutations; reinforcing the growing appreciation of CREBBPHAT mutation as a key biological determinant and its promise as a therapeutic biomarker in FL.
