Sharing information to promote use of personalized, targeted cancer therapy: WIN Symposia
WIN represents a global collaboration of cancer centers, life science and biotech organizations, and technology companies and not-for-profit organizations.
The Worldwide Innovative Networking (WIN) Consortium in personalized cancer medicine was initiated in 2010 with leadership from leading cancer centers worldwide. WIN is a non-profit, non-governmental organization headquartered in Paris.
WIN was created to accelerate the pace and reduce the cost of translating novel cancer treatments to the bedside by developing and applying, through worldwide clinical trials and research projects, the most promising advances in genomic-based cancer research. WIN aims to initiate research projects each year in a global consortium guided by an independent scientific advisory board.
WIN now includes 34 institutional members. These stakeholders have come together from all parts of the world to address the challenge of increasing the efficacy of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics by understanding the genetics and biology of each individual’s tumor and accounting for genetic differences across diverse populations—from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Australia.
Our goal is to significantly improve outcomes for patients around the globe. We aim to increase the number of patients worldwide that have access to innovative, global clinical trials in the area of genomic-based cancer therapeutics. Global diversity and inclusion of all stakeholders is WIN’s most important and differentiating asset.

Abstract
Background: Dysregulated pathways in cancer may be hub addicted. Identifying these dysregulated networks for targeting might lead to novel therapeutic options.
Objective: Considering the hypothesis that central hubs are associated with increased
lethality, identifying key hub targets within central networks could lead to the development of novel drugs with improved efficacy in advanced metastatic solid tumors.
Design: Exploring transcriptomic data (22,000 gene products) from the WINTHER trial (N = 101 patients with various metastatic cancers), in which both tumor and normal organ-matched tissue were available.
Methods: A retrospective in silico analysis of all genes in the transcriptome was conducted to identify genes different in expression between tumor and normal tissues (paired t-test) and to determine their association with survival outcomes using survival analysis (Cox proportional
hazard regression algorithm). Based on the biological relevance of the identified genes, hub targets of interest within central networks were then pinpointed. Patients were grouped based on the expression level of these genes (K-mean clustering), and the association of these
groups with survival was examined (Cox proportional hazard regression algorithm, Forest plot, and Kaplan–Meier plot).
Results: We identified four key central hub genes—PLOD3, ARHGAP11A, RNF216, and CDCA8, for which high expression in tumor tissue compared to analogous normal tissue had the most significant correlation with worse outcomes. The correlation was independent of tumor or treatment type. The combination of the four genes showed the highest significance and correlation with the poorer outcome: overall survival (hazard ratio (95% confidence interval
(CI)) = 10.5 (3.43–31.9) p = 9.12E−07 log-rank test in a Cox proportional hazard regression model). Findings were validated in independent cohorts.
Conclusion: The expression of PLOD3, ARHGAP11A, RNF216, and CDCA8 constitute, when combined, a prognostic tool, agnostic of tumor type and previous treatments. These genes represent potential targets for intercepting central hub networks in various cancers, offering
avenues for novel therapeutic interventions.

ABSTRACT
Heavily pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) poses significant therapeutic challenges. Advances in molecular profiling enables personalized strategies. We present a 62-year-old male with mCRC harboring BRAF, MET, APC, TP53 and NRAS alterations, following FOLFOX and FOLFIRI, dabrafenib plus panitumumab, and a BRAF inhibitor clinical trial, each leading to initial responses followed by disease progression.
WIN Consortium International Molecular Tumor Board (MTB), included experts from institutions across 13 countries. Enrollment in suitable clinical trials was explored but limited by availability. Personalized combinations suggested included amivantamab-vmjw (anti-MET/EGFR antibody) (one-third standard dose) (for MET amplification and due to prior response to anti-EGFR antibody), trametinib, 1 mg po daily (MEK inhibitor for BRAF V600E mutation), and regorafenib (may have WNT inhibitor activity relevant to APC mutation; VEGFR activity relevant since TP53 alterations upregulate EGF/VEGFR axis) starting at 40 mg po daily three weeks on, one week off. Another option was trametinib at 1 mg daily, cetuximab (EGFR antibody), 250 mg/m² IV every two-weeks, and cabozantinib (MET and VEGFR inhibitor), 40 mg po daily. FOLFOXFIRI combined with bevacizumab, or liver-directed therapies for hepatic metastases, or regorafenib with 5FU, or crizotinib (MET inhibitor) combined with regorafenib or dabrafenib, was also suggested.
This case emphasizes the critical role of comprehensive molecular profiling and personalized therapeutic approaches in managing complex mCRC. The WIN International MTB aims to provide treatment and biomarker analysis discussion with the ultimate goal of optimizing treatment efficacy by targeting specific molecular alterations, though final treatment decisions remain at the discretion of the treating physician.

Precision Oncology Special
ABSTRACT
The human genome project ushered in a genomic medicine era that was largely unimaginable three decades ago. Discoveries of druggable cancer drivers enabled biomarker-driven gene- and immune-targeted therapy and transformed cancer treatment. Minimizing treatment not expected to benefit, and toxicity—including financial and time—are important goals of modern oncology. The Worldwide Innovative Network (WIN) Consortium in Personalized Cancer Medicine founded by Drs. John Mendelsohn and Thomas Tursz provided a vision for innovation, collaboration and global impact in precision oncology. Through pursuit of transcriptomic signatures, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, global precision cancer medicine clinical trials and input from an international Molecular Tumor Board (MTB), WIN has led the way in demonstrating patient benefit from precision-therapeutics through N-of-1 molecularly-driven studies. WIN Next-Generation Precision Oncology (WINGPO) trials are being developed in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic settings, incorporate real-world data, digital pathology, and advanced algorithms to guide MTB prioritization of therapy combinations for a diverse global population. WIN has pursued combinations that target multiple drivers/hallmarks of cancer in individual patients. WIN continues to be impactful through collaboration with industry, government, sponsors, funders, academic and community centers, patient advocates, and other stakeholders to tackle challenges including drug access, costs, regulatory barriers, and patient support. WIN’s collaborative next generation of precision oncology trials will guide treatment selection for patients with advanced cancers through MTB and AI algorithms based on serial liquid and tissue biopsies and exploratory omics including transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and functional precision medicine. Our vision is to accelerate the future of precision oncology care.
