Molecular Alteration |
Molecular Alteration Subtype |
Frequency | Biologic Implication |
Proposed Therapy |
---|---|---|---|---|
Androgen
Receptor (AR) |
Amplification | Resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) | New antiandrogens (enzalutamide/abiraterone) |
|
Mutation | Non-NAD-like PARP-1 inhibitors | |||
Alternative Splicing |
4% early stage 20–30% advanced/recurrent disease) |
Taxanes | ||
Changes in the expression of AR Co-regulators |
Combine therapies (Antiandrogens + PARPi/Immunotherapy) to modify the immunosuppressive TME |
|||
PI3K-AKT | Loss of PTEN AKT/PI3K alteration |
49% | Resistance to ADT and PARPi | PTEN, AKT and PI3K INHIBITORS (monotherapy/combinations) |
DNA Repair Pathways | Mutation in the DDR system (homologous repair) | PARPi sensitivity | PARPi | |
Others | Wnt Genetic fusion |
23% 18% |
Resistance to ADT | Development of new therapeutic targets and combinations |
Key: PARPi: PARP inhibitors; TME: tumor microenvironment.
