Verification of Molecular Subtyping of Bladder Cancer in the GUSTO Clinical Trial


ABSTRACT: The GUSTO clinical trial (Gene expression subtypes of Urothelial carcinoma: Stratified Treatment and Oncological outcomes) uses molecular subtypes to guide neoadjuvant therapies in participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Before commencing the GUSTO trial, we needed to determine the reliability of a commercial subtyping platform (Decipher Bladder; Veracyte) when performed in an external trial laboratory as this has not been done previously. Here we report our pre-trial verification of the TCGA molecular subtyping model using gene expression profiling. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks of MIBC were used for gene expression subtyping by gene expression microarrays. Intra- and inter-laboratory technical reproducibility, together with quality control of laboratory and bioinformatics processes were assessed. Eighteen samples underwent analysis. RNA of sufficient quality and quantity was successfully extracted from all samples. All subtypes were represented in the cohort. Each sample was subtyped twice in our laboratory and once in a separate reference laboratory. No clinically significant discordance in subtype occurred between intra- or inter-laboratory replicates. Examination of sample histopathology showed variability of morphological appearances within and between subtypes. Overall, these results show that molecular subtyping by gene expression profiling is reproducible, robust, and suitable for use in the GUSTO clinical trial.
