Abstract

PURPOSE: Gene-expression-based molecular subtypes of high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer (HGSOC), demonstrated across multiple studies, may provide improved stratification for molecularly targeted trials. However, evaluation of clinical utility has been hindered by non-standardized methods which are not applicable in a clinical setting. We sought to generate a clinical-grade minimal gene-set assay for classification of individual tumor specimens into HGSOC subtypes and confirm previously reported subtype-associated features. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Adopting two independent approaches, we derived and internally validated algorithms for subtype prediction using published gene-expression data from 1650 tumors. We applied resulting models to NanoString data on 3829 HGSOCs from the Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis Consortium. We further developed, confirmed, and validated a reduced, minimal gene-set predictor, with methods suitable for a single patient setting. RESULTS: Gene-expression data was used to derive the Predictor of high-grade-serous Ovarian carcinoma molecular subTYPE (PrOTYPE) assay. We established a de facto standard as a consensus of two parallel approaches. PrOTYPE subtypes are significantly associated with age, stage, residual disease, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, and outcome. The locked-down clinical-grade PrOTYPE test includes a model with 55 genes that predicted gene-expression subtype with >95% accuracy that was maintained in all analytical and biological validations. CONCLUSIONS: We validated the PrOTYPE assay following the Institute of Medicine guidelines for the development of omics-based tests. This fully defined and locked-down clinical-grade assay will enable trial design with molecular subtype stratification and allow for objective assessment of the predictive value of HGSOC molecular subtypes in precision medicine applications.
