Background: HR+/HER2– mBC, the most common subset of breast cancer, is treated with sequential endocrine therapy + targeted agents followed by sequential single-agent chemotherapy (CT), with increasingly shorter benefit duration with each subsequent treatment. High Trop-2 expression is observed in breast cancer regardless of subtype. SG is a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate approved for pre-treated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. In the phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study, SG showed both significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit (HR, 0.66; P10- 0. Of Trop-2-evaluable pts, 192 (42%) and 270 (58%) had H-scores 10- Table Citation Format: Hope Rugo, Aditya Bardia, Frederik Marmé, Javier Cortés, Peter Schmid, Delphine Loirat, Olivier Trédan, Eva Ciruelos, Florence Dalenc, Patricia Gómez Pardo, Komal Jhaveri, Monica Motwani, Oh Kyu Yoon, Hao Wang, Wendy Verret, Sara Tolaney.

Background: Imlunestrant is a novel, orally bioavailable selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) with pure antagonistic properties that result in sustained inhibition of estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent gene transcription and cell growth. In a phase 1 study, imlunestrant monotherapy showed favourable safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy in heavily pre-treated ER-positive (ER+) advanced breast cancer patients (Jhaveri ASCO 2022). Here, we present pharmacodynamic (PD) data from the preoperative window of opportunity (WOO) study (EMBER-2, NCT04647487), evaluating the biological activity of imlunestrant monotherapy in ER+, HER2-negative (HER2-) early breast cancer (EBC). Methods: Post-menopausal women with stage I–III operable ER+ (>50%) or Allred score >5, HER2- untreated EBC ≥1 cm in diameter were randomized 1:1 to imlunestrant 400 mg once daily (QD) or imlunestrant 800 mg QD for 15 days (treatment window of -2 to +7 days) up to the surgery date. Pre- and on-treatment tumor samples were compared for changes in PD biomarkers. Primary study objective was change in ER expression (measured by IHC and quantified by H-score). Secondary objectives were change in progesterone receptor (PR) expression (measured by IHC and quantified by H-score) and Ki-67 (measured by IHC and expressed by percentage positive scoring) along with evaluation of safety and tolerability. Results: From Apr 28, 2021, to Mar 11, 2022, 58 patients were enrolled of which 54 were biomarker-evaluable for ER expression (400 mg: n = 28; 800 mg: n = 26). Patient demographics and tumor characteristics for all enrolled patients were similar across cohorts, with a median age of 64 years (50-83), 72% invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), 28% invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), 59% stage I, 36% stage II and 5% stage III disease. 91% of the patients had a compliance rate higher than 80%. Among biomarker evaluable patients, relative reduction in PD biomarkers after a median of 15 days (range 13 to 23 days) of treatment are presented in Table 1. There was no significant difference in PD biomarker modulation noted between the two imlunestrant doses (400 mg vs 800 mg) or based on tumor histology (IDC, ILC). Imlunestrant was well tolerated. There were no discontinuations due to adverse events (AEs). Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were mainly grade 1, most commonly: fatigue (10%), diarrhea (9%), hot flushes (7%), and nausea (5%). There were no TRAEs of diarrhea and nausea observed at the 400 mg dose. No grade 3 or higher TRAEs were reported. Conclusion: Imlunestrant demonstrated evidence of target engagement along with consistent biological activity across all evaluated dose levels and was well tolerated in an EBC population, further supporting continued adjuvant development in the ongoing EMBER-4 study. Additional biomarker analyses for the EMBER-2 study are also planned. Table 1.

Background Today, there is no clear therapeutic algorithm for patients with metastatic HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC) who have progressed to trastuzumab, pertuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Among the emerging strategies, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination therapy is showing promising clinical benefit in the advanced setting of HER2+ BC by overcoming immune resistance and enhancing antitumor cellular immunity. The intrinsic subtypes Basal-like and HER2-enriched (i.e PAM50 non-luminal tumors) represent approximately the 60% of HER2+ BC and are associated with higher expression of immune-related genes, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) presence and high tumor mutational burden (TMB), compared to luminal subtypes. Additionally, immune infiltration and TMB in HER2+ BC are associated with chemo/antiHER2 responsiveness and with potential benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. We hypothesize that combining atezolizumab with trastuzumab and vinorelbine may improve outcomes in HR- or PAM50 non-luminal/HR-positive (HR+) disease within HER2+ MBC. Methods ATREZZO is an open-label, single-arm, Simon 2-stage, multicenter phase II study. The trial will include 55 pre- or post-menopausal female or male patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR- or PAM50 non-luminal/HR+ HER2+ BC and progressed to trastuzumab-based chemotherapy and anti-HER2 ADC. Prior pertuzumab is allowed, but not required. Treatment consists of atezolizumab IV 1200 mg every 3 weeks combined with trastuzumab and vinorelbine. Patients with stable, progressing, or untreated brain metastasis not requiring immediate local therapy are eligible. The primary objective is to evaluate the Overall Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST v 1.1 and secondary endpoints include ORR in patients with PD-L1 positive breast cancer, clinical benefit rate, overall survival and progression-free survival. The final recruited population will contain no more than 60 % of patients with PD-L1 negative tumors. Tumor assessments will be performed every 9 weeks. Incidence, duration and severity of adverse events, and further correlative molecular analyses will be also evaluated. An interim analysis will be conducted when 19 patients are evaluable for ORR and if the number of responses is ≥ 3, 36 additional patients will be included. As of July 15th, 2022, 48 patients were screened and 15 were included in sixteen Spanish sites. This study was funded by Roche Farma SA.

Background: Patients (pts) with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC) have a high incidence (up to 50%) of brain metastasis (BM) despite advances in treatment (Zimmer AS et al. Cancer Rep (Hoboken). 2020;e1274; Hurvitz SA et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2019;25:2433-2441). Although several agents have been studied in pts with HER2+ BC with BM, an unmet medical need remains. In DESTINY-Breast01, T-DXd demonstrated efficacy in the overall population and preliminary efficacy in a pt subgroup with stable BM (n=24), with a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 61.4%, an extracranial confirmed ORR by independent central review (ICR) of 58.3%, respectively, and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 19.4 and 18.1 months, respectively (Modi S et al. Cancer Res. 2021. Abst PD3-06; Jerusalem G et al. Ann Oncol. 2020. Abst 138O). T-DXd also demonstrated preliminary efficacy in a subgroup of pts with BM in the DESTINY-Breast03 trial, with an extracranial ORR of 67.4%, intracranial ORR of 63.9%, and median PFS of 15.0 months (Hurvitz S et al. SABCS 2021. Abst GS3-01). However, both trials excluded pts with active/progressive BM. Here we describe a trial evaluating T-DXd in a real-world setting in pts with stable or active BM and pts without BM with previously treated advanced/metastatic HER2+ BC. The data generated by this study will complement previous and ongoing studies, providing a more robust understanding of T-DXd treatment in patients with and without BM. Trial design: DESTINY-Breast12 (NCT04739761) is an open-label, multicenter, international (91 sites in the US, Europe, Australia, Canada, and Japan), phase 3b/4 study assessing the efficacy and safety of T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg every 3 weeks in pts with HER2+ BC ± BM. As part of prescreening, all pts will provide informed consent for tumor tissue samples (archival tumor tissue or fresh biopsy) to be collected and tested for HER2 status. Pts will be enrolled in 1 of 2 cohorts (250 pts each): cohort 1 (no BM at baseline) and cohort 2 (BM at baseline). Pts must have previously treated HER2-positive BC that has progressed on or after ≥1 prior anti-HER2–based regimen (including disease progression ≤6 months after adjuvant treatment with HER2-targeted therapies) and received ≤2 lines of therapy in the metastatic setting (excluding pts with prior tucatinib). Cohort 1 will be limited to include ≤25% third-line pts. Pts with BM must have untreated BM not needing immediate local therapy or previously treated stable or progressing BM. Primary endpoints are ORR in cohort 1 and PFS in cohort 2 (both by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1 per ICR). Secondary endpoints in both cohorts are overall survival, DOR, time to progression, duration of subsequent therapy, PFS2, safety, and changes in symptoms, functioning, and quality of life. Incidence of new symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastasis is a secondary endpoint in cohort 1, and ORR and CNS ORR by RECIST 1.1 per ICR, CNS PFS and DOR, and time to new CNS metastasis are secondary endpoints in cohort 2.

Background Within HR+/HER2- disease, patients with non-luminal subtypes of breast cancer (HER2-enriched [HER2-E] and Basal-like) have poorer prognosis than those with luminal subtypes, may be more sensitive to chemotherapy, and have higher expression of immune-related genes and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Here, we report the interim efficacy and safety data of the TATEN trial (NCT04251169), the first study designed to evaluate pembrolizumab and paclitaxel in HR+/HER2-negative, PAM50 non-luminal, metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods TATEN is a single-arm, multicenter phase II study evaluating pembrolizumab in combination with paclitaxel in patients with HR+/HER2-, PAM50 non-luminal, MBC. Key inclusion criteria include progression to prior CDK4/6 inhibitors, presence of measurable disease by RECIST V1.1, no prior chemotherapy for MBC, and ECOG 0-1. Patients receive pembrolizumab at 200 mg every 3 weeks (on D1 of each 21-day cycle, beginning at cycle 1) in combination with weekly paclitaxel at 80 mg/m2, beginning at cycle 2. The primary endpoint is to evaluate overall response rate (ORR), defined as the rate of complete (CR) and partial response (PR) according to RECIST V1.1. Secondary endpoints include clinical benefit rate (CBR; CR + PR + stable disease >24 weeks), progression free survival, overall survival, safety, and predictive biomarkers. Tumor samples collected during advanced/metastatic disease are mandatory to assess PAM50 and other translational endpoints. This study had a planned interim analysis after 15 patients were evaluable for ORR based on a Simon’s two stage design with 80% power and a type I error rate of 0.05. Stage I of the trial would be considered successful if at least 6 patients achieved a PR and/or CR. In that case, the trial would recruit up to 46 evaluable patients for a target ORR ≥ 41. Here we report results from the patients who received at least one dose of combination treatment and had a first, post-baseline, tumor assessment according to RECIST v1.1 (evaluable population). Results From July 2020 to December 2021, 119 patients were screened, and 25 PAM50 non-luminal tumors were identified (21%). From these, 17 (68%) patients were recruited, and 15 were evaluable for primary endpoint. Two patients discontinued the trial before the first dose of pembrolizumab and paclitaxel, because of clinical progressive disease (PD). Baseline patient characteristics were as follows: median age 53 years (range: 40-77), ECOG 0 52.9%, de novo MBC at diagnosis 29.4%, and visceral disease 64.7% (including 53.3% with liver metastasis). Ten patients had received paclitaxel treatment in the adjuvant setting. Regarding PAM50 intrinsic subtype, two patients had basal-like and 13 HER2-E tumors. At the time of data cut-off (May 17,2022), 8 patients (53.3%) had stopped their treatment because of PD and 2 (13.3%) due to toxicity. Five patients (33.3%) were still on treatment. The ORR was 53.3 % (8 of 15, 95% CI 26.6-78.7), meeting the pre-specified ORR for the first stage of the trial. The CBR was 86.6% (13 of 15, 95%CI 59.5-98.34), and median PFS was 7.5 months (95% CI: 5.6 – 10.2). Overall, all patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade, while 53.3% of patients experienced grade 3 TRAEs. No grade 4 or 5 TRAEs were reported in the evaluable population. Correlative analysis including gene expression analysis and centralized TILs scoring and PD-L1 IHC will be presented. Conclusions The first stage of TATEN combining pembrolizumab with paclitaxel after progression to CDK4/6 inhibitors in patients with HR+/HER2-negative, PAM50 non-luminal MBC met its pre-specified endpoint. Completion of the stage II part of the trial with the inclusion of up to 46 patients is warranted to assess the activity of this combination in this group of patients. Correlative studies to find predictive biomarkers of response to this regimen are ongoing and will be presented at the meeting. This study was funded by MSD.

Background Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) exhibits a particularly poor clinical outcome, generally with rapid progression and worse overall survival (OS) than other BC subtypes. Among the few therapeutic options, chemotherapy-based combinations are associated with increased toxicity and limited survival benefit, being treatment with sequential single agents, such as paclitaxel considered an appropriate first-line regimen for the metastatic setting for PDL-1 negative patients. Herein, there is an urgent need for clinically active agents for the mTNBC. Adoptive cell transfer (ACT)-based immunotherapy using ex vivo activated and expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) has shown promising therapeutic outcomes in some patients with metastatic tumors. The identification, selection, and enrichment of tumor-reactive lymphocytes at the early stages of the ACT generation could enhance their clinical activity. Thus, the selection of reactive T cells, such as PD1-positive (PD1+) TILs, could improve the responses achieved in those settings. TILS001 trial aims to explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of selected PD1+ T-cell infusion with a previous pre-selection of mRNA PD1-high expression in patients with mTNBC. Study design: TILs001 trial is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase I/II prospective study with a two-stage design evaluating treatment with PD1+ TILs infusion in advanced or mTNBC, defined as HER2 negative and Hormonal Receptor < 10%. The study involves three different parts before PD1+TILs treatment. Tumor samples evaluable for PD1 mRNA expression and life expectancy ≥6 months are mandatory for part 1. Patients with high levels of PD1 mRNA, defined by the pre-specified cutoff, candidates for receiving a first-line taxane-based containing regimen and with at least 1 accessible target lesion to generate TILs are eligible for part 2. Finally, once the complete expansion of PD1+TILs is reached, patients will receive the non-myeloablative lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen followed by PD1+TIL infusion and IL-2 treatment. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, immune system-related disease or clinically active cerebral metastasis are not allowed. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the PD1+ TIL product, as per incidence of grade 3-5 adverse events (AE) or any grade AE that leads to treatment discontinuation and to assess the efficacy of ACT therapy with selected PD1+ TILs in mTNBC in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months. The secondary endpoints are clinical benefit rate at 6 months (CBR6), overall response rate, duration of response (DoR), PFS and OS. Further translational research including immunophenotyping, TCR sequencing and mutational analysis will also be performed. The first 3 patients will be included in a safety run-in phase where safety will be evaluated 24h after PD1+/TILs infusion (before IL-2 treatment) and a phase II stage where efficacy will be evaluated, which will include up to 20 patients. Patients will be enrolled in 4 sites in Spain. Recruitment is expected to start by July 2022 and to be completed within 24 months.

Introduction: PIK3CA mutations, seen in ~40% of patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2–) advanced breast cancer (ABC), are associated with treatment (Tx) resistance and shorter survival. Alpelisib (ALP) is an α-selective PI3K inhibitor and degrader indicated for treating this population in combination with fulvestrant (FUL) after endocrine therapy (ET). Previous results from the SOLAR-1 study showed that progression-free survival (PFS) ≥18 mo is achievable for pts treated with ALP on/after prior Tx with aromatase inhibitor (AI). Here, we analyze pts from BYLieve study Cohort A who achieved long-term (LT) and very-long-term (VLT) disease control with ALP + FUL after prior Tx with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and AI. Methods: BYLieve was a Phase II, nonrandomized, open-label, 3-cohort study of ALP + ET in pts with PIK3CA-mutated, HR+, HER2– ABC whose disease progressed on/after prior CDK4/6i. In Cohort A, median (m) PFS was 7.26 mo. LT disease control was defined as ≥12 mo PFS and VLT disease control as ≥18 mo PFS. Pts with < 12 mo PFS were defined as non-LT. Baseline characteristics are summarized by duration of disease control. Incidence rate (IR) per 100 patient-treatment years (PTY) was calculated to assess exposure-adjusted adverse events (AE). To assess tumor complexity in LT/VLT pts, median circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) fraction, chromosome (chr) 8/11 amplification, and ESR1 mutations were determined by next-generation sequencing. Results: In BYLieve Cohort A, 31 of 121 pts (25.6%) achieved LT disease control with an mPFS of 24.8 mo (95% CI 18.2 mo to not estimable [NE]) and 20 of 121 pts (16.5%) achieved VLT disease control (mPFS NE; 95% CI 22.1 mo to NE). Pts with LT/VLT disease control had lower BMI and ECOG score, longer time from initial diagnosis to first recurrence/relapse, more frequent bone-only lesions, and fewer liver metastases than non-LT pts (Table). Median ALP relative dose intensity was 86.7%, 91.7%, 85.0%, and 85.1% for all Cohort A pts (n=127), non-LT (n=96), LT (n=31), and VLT disease control (n=20), respectively, whereas median ALP exposure was 5.13 mo, 3.61 mo, 21.29 mo, and 25.25 mo respectively. The IRs per 100 PTY of diarrhea, hyperglycemia, and rash were lower in LT (IR 128.4, n=24; IR 78.0, n=20; IR 21.6, n=10 respectively) and VLT (IR 93.5, n=15; IR 51.2, n=11; IR 24.9, n=8 respectively) pts than non-LT pts (IR 250.5, n=57; IR 251.5, n=56; IR 85.4, n=30 respectively). In LT and VLT pts ctDNA fraction was 2% and 5% respectively, whereas ctDNA fraction in non-LT pts was 14%. Incidence of chr 8/11 amplification was 10% in both LT and VLT pts and 20% in non-LT pts; incidence of ESR1 mutations was 26%, 25%, and 27% in LT, VLT, and non-LT pts respectively. Conclusions: In pts with PIK3CA-mutated, HR+, HER2– ABC treated with ALP + FUL after CDK4/6i, LT and VLT disease control was observed in 25.6% and 16.5% of patients, respectively. Visceral disease, development of AEs, and ESR1 mutations did not preclude LT/VLT disease control. These data confirm that targeting the PIK3CA driver mutation with ALP + FUL post-CDK4/6i Tx may lead to LT disease control.

Introduction: Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) is mutated in ~40% of patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) advanced breast cancer (ABC). PIK3CA mutations are associated with resistance to endocrine therapy (ET) and worse overall survival. Alpelisib (ALP), an α-selective PI3K inhibitor and degrader, is indicated in combination with fulvestrant (FUL) for pts with PIK3CA-mutated (mut) HR+, HER2− ABC following progression on/after ET-based treatments. In the Phase 2, open-label, 3-cohort, noncomparative BYLieve study, clinical benefit of ALP in combination with ET was observed in the post-cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) setting in pts with PIK3CA-mut, HR+, HER2− ABC. Here we report the results of a biomarker analysis using paired baseline (Cycle 1 Day 1) and end-of-treatment (EOT) circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) samples from pts in BYLieve Cohorts A and B. Methods: In the BYLieve study, pts with PIK3CA-mut, HR+, HER2− ABC had CDK4/6i + aromatase inhibitor (Cohort A; N=127) or CDK4/6i + FUL (Cohort B; N=126) as treatment immediately prior to receiving ALP + FUL and ALP + letrozole, respectively. In this biomarker analysis, gene alterations were detected in ctDNA at baseline and EOT using next-generation sequencing (PanCancer V2 panel). Pts included in this interim analysis had confirmed PIK3CA mutations and matched baseline/EOT samples with enough sequencing coverage and ctDNA fraction to detect mutations at both time points. ctDNA fractions, tumor mutation burden (TMB) distributions, genomic landscapes, gain/loss of PIK3CA and estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), chromosome 8/11 amplification profiles, and alterations in PI3K pathway and potential CDK4/6i resistance markers were assessed across time points. Sample sizes were small; results should thus be interpreted with caution. Results: Forty-three pts were included in the Cohort A biomarker population and 40 pts were included in Cohort B. ctDNA fraction was numerically higher at EOT compared with baseline in both cohorts; further analyses will be presented. In Cohort A, no significant differences were observed in TMB at EOT compared with baseline (P=0.21). In Cohort B, TMB was higher at EOT compared with baseline (P=0.053). Chromosome 8/11 amplifications were consistent between baseline and EOT for both cohorts. Small variations were observed in ESR1/PIK3CA mutations between baseline and EOT on both cohorts (Table). The status of potential CDK4/6i resistance markers was relatively unchanged at EOT (Table). Loss-of-function mutations in PTEN, a known PI3K inhibitor resistance marker, increased from 9% at baseline to 14% at EOT in Cohort A and from 12% at baseline to 22% at EOT in Cohort B. Conclusions: Between baseline and EOT, only small variations in gene alterations in PIK3CA-mutated HR+, HER2– ABC were observed in the post-CDK4/6i setting. As the disease progressed, increases in loss-of-function mutations in PTEN at EOT in both Cohorts A and B suggested loss of PTEN in PI3K pathway may drive resistance to ALP. Early intervention with ALP, when the tumor is particularly driven by PIK3CA oncogenic mutations and before it develops more genomic complexity, may potentially provide better clinical outcomes.

In the phase II CORALLEEN trial, patients with PAM50 luminal B early breast cancer (EBC) were randomised to neoadjuvant ribociclib plus letrozole (R + L) or chemotherapy based on anthracyclines and taxanes. Results from the primary efficacy analysis showed a similar proportion of patients with response at surgery in both groups. How health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes with R + L compare with chemotherapy in EBC setting is still unknown. Here, we report the results of the HRQoL analysis from the CORALLEEN study.A total of 106 women were randomised 1:1 to receive neoadjuvant R + L (n = 52) or chemotherapy (n = 54). Patient-reported outcomes were assessed using two questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23. Change from baseline in the global health status, functional, and symptom scales was analysed using linear mixed-effect models, and between-treatment differences were estimated along with 95% confidence interval (95% CI).At baseline, the overall questionnaire available rate was 94.3%, and patient-reported outcomes were similar between treatment groups. At the end of the study treatment (24 weeks), patients receiving R + L showed better global health status scores with a between-treatment difference of 17.7 points (95% CI 9.2-26.2; p-valuelt;0.001). The R + L group also presented numerically better outcomes in all functional and symptom scales. The larger between-treatment differences in symptom severity were found in fatigue (-28.9; 95% CI -38.5 to -19.3), appetite loss (-23; 95% CI -34.9 to -11.2) and systematic therapy side-effects (-11.4; 95% CI -18.3 to -4.6).Neoadjuvant R + L was associated with better HRQoL outcomes compared with chemotherapy in patients with luminal B EBC.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03248427.

Purpose:Predicting prognosis in HR+/HER2− metastatic breast cancer (MBC) might be clinically useful; however, no validated prognostic biomarkers exist in this setting to date.Patients and Methods:In phase III, EGF30008 trial, 484 patients with HER2− MBC who received letrozole and placebo or lapatinib were selected. PAM50 data, ECOG performance status, visceral disease, number of metastasis, biopsy type, and age were evaluated. A progression-free survival (PFS) Cox model was evaluated. The final model (PAM50MET) with a prespecified cutoff was validated in patients (n = 261) with HR+/HER2− advanced breast cancer (aBC) from BOLERO-2 (phase III trial that evaluated exemestane and placebo or everolimus).Results:In EGF30008, prognostic models with PAM50 plus clinical variables yielded higher C-index values versus models with only PAM50 or clinical variables. The PAM50MET model combined 21 variables: 2 PAM50 subtypes, basal signature, 14 genes, and 4 clinical variables. In EGF30008, the optimized cutoff was associated with PFS [HR = 0.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.29–0.47; P < 0.0001] and overall survival (OS; HR = 0.37; 95% CI, 0.27–0.51; P < 0.0001). The median (months; 95% CI) PFS and OS were 22.24 (19.0–24.9) and not reached in PAM50MET-low versus 9.13 (8.15–11.0) and 33.0 (28.0–40.0) in PAM50MET-high groups, respectively. In BOLERO-2, the PAM50MET-low was associated with better PFS (HR = 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53–0.96; P = 0.028) and OS (HR = 0.51; 95% CI, 0.35–0.69; P < 0.0001). The median (months) (95% CI) PFS and OS were 6.93 (5.57–11.0) and 36.9 (33.4–NA) in PAM50MET-low versus 5.23 (4.2–6.8) and 23.5 (20.2–28.3) in PAM50MET-high groups, respectively.Conclusions:PAM50MET is prognostic in HR+/HER2− MBC, and further evaluation might help identify candidates for endocrine therapy only or novel therapies.

Purpose:To assess palbociclib in combination with trastuzumab with or without endocrine therapy in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer.Patients and Methods:PATRICIA is a prospective, open-label, multicenter phase II trial. Patients had received 2–4 prior lines of anti-HER2–based regimens. Treatment consisted of palbociclib 200 mg daily for 2 weeks and 1 week off plus trastuzumab. The study was based on a Simon two-stage design comprising three cohorts: estrogen receptor (ER)-negative (cohort A), ER-positive (cohort B1), and ER-positive with letrozole (cohort B2). ER-positive patients were randomized to cohorts B1 or B2. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival rate at 6 months (PFS6). Secondary objectives included safety and evaluation of the PAM50 intrinsic subtypes.Results:Seventy-one patients were recruited (n = 15 in cohort A and 28 in each cohort B). The PFS6 rate in cohorts A, B1, and B2 was 33.3% (5/15), 42.8% (12/28), and 46.4% (13/28), respectively. Regarding safety, grade 1–2 and 3–4 toxicities occurred in 97.7% and 84.4% of patients, respectively. The most common grade 3–4 toxicities were neutropenia (66.4%) and thrombocytopenia (11.3%). Regarding PAM50, 59 (83.1%) tumors were profiled. Luminal disease defined by PAM50 was found independently associated with longer PFS compared with non-luminal disease (10.6 vs. 4.2 months median PFS; adjusted hazard ratio = 0.40; P = 0.003).Conclusions:Palbociclib in combination with trastuzumab is safe and exhibits promising survival outcomes in trastuzumab pretreated ER-positive/HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with a PAM50 Luminal A or B subtype. The enrollment was stopped prematurely, and a new randomized cohort was opened in this population.

Purpose: Brain metastases develop in one third of patients with advanced HER2+ breast cancer. Effective therapy for patients with central nervous system (CNS) progression after cranial radiation is extremely limited and represents a major clinical challenge. Lapatinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor/HER2 inhibitor, was associated with regressions of CNS lesions in a small phase 2 trial. The current study was done to further evaluate the CNS activity of lapatinib. The study was later amended to allow patients who progressed on lapatinib the option of receiving lapatinib plus capecitabine.Experimental Design: Eligible patients had HER2+ breast cancer, progressive brain metastases, prior trastuzumab, and cranial radiotherapy. The primary end point was CNS objective response, defined as ≥50% volumetric reduction of CNS lesion(s) in the absence of increasing steroid use, progressive neurologic signs and symptoms, or progressive extra-CNS disease.Results: Two-hundred and forty-two patients entered the study. CNS objective responses to lapatinib were observed in 6% of patients. In an exploratory analysis, 21% of patients experienced a ≥20% volumetric reduction in their CNS lesions. An association was observed between volumetric reduction and improvement in progression-free survival and neurologic signs and symptoms. Of the 50 evaluable patients who entered the lapatinib plus capecitabine extension, 20% experienced a CNS objective response and 40% experienced a ≥20% volumetric reduction in their CNS lesions.Conclusions: This study confirms the modest CNS antitumor activity of lapatinib. Additional responses were observed with the combination of lapatinib and capecitabine. Further studies of lapatinib-based regimens for CNS metastases from HER2+ breast cancer are warranted.

Better knowledge of the biology of breast cancer has allowed the use of new targeted therapies, leading to improved outcome. High-throughput technologies allow deepening into the molecular architecture of breast cancer, integrating different levels of information, which is important if it helps in making clinical decisions. microRNA (miRNA) and protein expression profiles were obtained from 71 estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) and 25 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) samples. RNA and proteins obtained from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors were analyzed by RT-qPCR and LC/MS-MS, respectively. We applied probabilistic graphical models representing complex biologic systems as networks, confirming that ER+ and TNBC subtypes are distinct biologic entities. The integration of miRNA and protein expression data unravels molecular processes that can be related to differences in the genesis and clinical evolution of these types of breast cancer. Our results confirm that TNBC has a unique metabolic profile that may be exploited for therapeutic intervention. Cancer Res; 75(11); 2243–53. ©2015 AACR.

Background: SERENA-1 (NCT03616587) is a Phase 1, multi-part, open-label study of camizestrant in women with ER+/HER2− advanced breast cancer. Parts A/B and C/D (escalation/expansion) examined camizestrant as monotherapy and in combination with palbociclib respectively and have been presented previously.1,2 Here we present data from parts G/H which examined camizestrant in combination with abemaciclib. Methods: The primary objective was to determine the safety and tolerability of camizestrant 75 mg once daily (QD) in combination with abemaciclib 150 mg twice daily (BID). Secondary objectives included investigation of anti-tumor response and pharmacokinetics (PK). Participants were previously treated women of any menopausal status (pre-menopausal women received this combination alongside ongoing ovarian function suppressors). Prior treatment with ≤2 lines of chemotherapy in the advanced setting was permitted. There was no limit on the number of lines of prior endocrine treatment in the advanced setting; previous treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and fulvestrant was permitted. Results: As of 1st June 2022, 24 patients had received camizestrant in combination with abemaciclib with a median 7.7 month follow up. Tolerability of the combination of camizestrant and abemaciclib was consistent with that of each drug individually. No patient required camizestrant dose reduction. All camizestrant-related heart rate decreases were Grade 1 (asymptomatic). PK data for camizestrant in combination with abemaciclib were consistent with camizestrant as monotherapy and published abemaciclib steady-state PK data, indicating no clinically relevant drug-drug interaction. In these heavily pre-treated patients (46% prior chemotherapy, 75% prior CDK4/6i, 54% prior fulvestrant; all in the advanced disease setting) and of whom 67% had visceral metastases, the objective response rate was 5/19 (26.3%), the clinical benefit rate at 24 weeks was 16/24 (66.7%) and the median progression-free survival had not been reached, with 8/24 patients experiencing a progression event. These data support the use of camizestrant 75 mg QD combined with the approved abemaciclib dose. Conclusions: Camizestrant 75 mg QD in combination with abemaciclib 150 mg BID was well tolerated with encouraging clinical activity. The inclusion of this regimen in the ongoing Phase 3, SERENA-6 trial 3, of camizestrant combined with CDK4/6i versus an aromatase inhibitor, will further clarify the role of this combination in the treatment of patients with ER+/HER2− advanced breast cancer with tumors expressing ESR1 mutations.

Introduction: CDK4/6 inhibitors are the standard of care in the vast majority of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in first line setting. HER2-low expression, defined as IHC score of 1+ or 2+ with negative ISH assay, has been associated with resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. This has not yet been explored for advanced disease in the first line setting. We aimed to analyze the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in this subset of patients compared to HER2-zero tumors. Methods: We identified patients with positive hormone receptors and HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer treated with first line CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib) and letrozole or fulvestrant between December 2017 - April 2021 in our institution (Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain). HER2 expression and PAM50 subtypes were analyzed in metastatic tissue samples for all patients. For the analysis, patients were classified as HER2-zero or HER2-low groups. Our main objective was to evaluate the relationship between HER2 expression and progression-free survival (PFS) with log-rank test. Multivariable Cox regression model was used to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR). As secondary objectives, we analyzed this association in all CDK4/6 subgroups and described the prevalence of PAM-50 subtypes in each category (HER2-low and HER2-zero). Results: We included 82 patients in our final analysis. 57% of the patients were classified in the HER2-low category. In our sample, 49% of patients received palbociclib, 39% ribociclib and 12% abemaciclib. A high proportion of patients presented visceral disease (75% in the HER2-zero vs 60% in the HER2-low group). Only 20% of tumors were considered as hormone-resistant. The overall response rate was slightly higher in the HER2-zero category (41% vs 35% in the HER2-low). With a median follow-up of 14 months (2 - 48 months), the median PFS was 31.7 months (95%CI: 20.3 - NR months) in the HER2-zero category and 22.8 months (95%CI: 15.7 - NR months) in the HER2-low (p=0.37). In the multivariable Cox regression model, HER2-low tumors were associated with a non-significantly higher risk of progression (HR=1.62; CI 95%:0.74-3.54). In patients treated with palbociclib, the median PFS for HER2-zero vs HER2-low categories were 31.7 months and NR (p=0.79), respectively. For ribociclib, the HER2-zero had a median PFS of 38.4 months and 33.1 months in the HER2-low category (p=0.47). In patients treated with abemaciclib, median PFS was NR for HER2-zero group and 9.2 months for HER2-low (p=0.18). The interaction test between HER2 categories and CDK4/6 inhibitors was not statistically significant (p=0.48). PAM-50 subtypes information was available for 47 patients. In these patients the prevalence of PAM-50 subtypes showed a relative higher proportion of luminal subtypes in the HER2-zero category (95%) and non-luminal (HER2-enriched and normal-like subtypes) in the HER2-low category (21%). Conclusions: In our sample, HER2-low category had a shorter median PFS in first line treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine treatment compared to HER2-zero group. This finding was consistent for the three CDK4/6 inhibitors analyzed, although the HER2-low group showed more relative benefit in terms of PFS with palbociclib. Our results suggest a lower benefit of CDK4/6 inhibitors in the first line treatment of HER2-low MBC, which could be partially explained by a relative higher proportion of non-luminal PAM-50 subtypes in HER2-low tumors.

Background The combination of HP and a taxane increases progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with HER2+ ABC. PIK3CA mut can occur in 30-35% of HER2+ tumors, independently of hormone receptor (HR) status. In an exploratory analysis from CLEOPATRA, patients with a tumor harboring a PIK3CA mut had a shorter PFS. The AKT inhibitor IPAT blocks the PI3K/AKT pathway and has activity in PI3K/AKT-altered tumors. Patients and Methods IPATHER (NCT04253561) is an open-label, single-arm, phase Ib study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of IPAT plus HP in patients with HER2+ ABC with a PIK3CA-mut (detected in tissue or plasma ctDNA in a Central Laboratory) who are candidates to receive maintenance HP after taxane discontinuation in the first line setting for a reason different to progressive disease. The primary objective is to characterize the safety and tolerability of IPAT in combination with HP, and to identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The study has two phases: a dose safety phase and a dose expansion phase. MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which ≤1 of 6 subjects experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 28 days of treatment. DLT during first 28 days of therapy is defined as grade ≥3 diarrhea lasting more than 72 hours, grade ≥2 diarrhea lasting more than 5 days, and other non-hematologic or hematologic toxicities that are ≥ grade 3 and probably or definitely related to study therapy. Given the low risk for overlapping toxicities, the first cohort of the dose safety phase tested IPAT at 400 mg orally once daily D1-21 q28d and standard dose HP. Dose level -1 and -2 of IPAT were 300 mg and 200 mg in case dose de-escalation was needed. Loperamide was given as prophylaxis for diarrhea. In HR-positive tumors, endocrine therapy could be started after the DLT period. Here, we present the results of the dose safety phase of IPATHER. Results A total of 6 female patients with PI3KCA-mut/HER2+ ABC were included in the first dose safety cohort. Median age was 52 (41-78), most patients had ECOG 0 (66.6%), and 50% were postmenopausal. Five out of six patients (83.3%) had HR-negative tumors and visceral metastases. Patients received a median of 6 treatment cycles (range 4-7) with taxane plus HP. At the time of the data cut-off (28/02/2021), all the patients remained on treatment. Median follow up is 4 months (range 2-12). Treatment was well tolerated with no DLTs or grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) observed during the DLT period or the rest of treatment period (Table 1). The most common treatment-related AEs were diarrhea (N=5, [83.3%]) and nausea (N=2,[33.3%]), mostly grade 1. There was no dose reduction and diarrhea was controlled with prophylactic loperamide. A partial response (PR) was observed in one patient, and 5 had stable disease. Of note, the addition of IPAT to HP in the patient with a PR deepened the response achieved during the induction phase with chemotherapy plus HP. Conclusion IPAT 400 mg orally once daily D1-21 q28d in combination with HP is well tolerated and has shown preliminary signs of efficacy. Given the favourable safety profile, the dose expansion phase testing IPAT 400 mg in combination with HP has started and will include 19 additional patients.

Solti-1507 IPATHER - A phase Ib study of ipatasertib (IPAT) and dual anti-HER2 therapy with pertuzumab and trastuzumab (HP) in patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) advanced breast cancer (ABC) and a PIK3CA mutation (mut): Results from the first safety cohort [abstract]. In: Proceedings of the 2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium; 2021 Dec 7-10; San Antonio, TX. Philadelphia (PA): AACR; Cancer Res 2022;82(4 Suppl):Abstract nr P1-18-34.

Background: HER2+ BC is associated with a high incidence (up to 50%) of brain metastasis (BM) despite advances in treatment (Zimmer AS et al. Cancer Rep (Hoboken). 2020;e1274; Hurvitz SA et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2019;25:2433-2441). Although several agents have been studied in patients (pts) with HER2+ BC with BM, an unmet medical need remains due to the poor prognosis in this pt population. In DESTINY-Breast01, T-DXd demonstrated efficacy in the overall population and preliminary efficacy in a pt subgroup with stable BM, with a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 61.4% and an extracranial confirmed ORR by independent central review (ICR) of 58.3%, respectively, median progression-free survival (PFS) of 19.4 and 18.1 mo, respectively, and median duration of response (DOR) of 20.8 and 16.9 mo, respectively (Modi S et al. Cancer Res. 2021. Abst PD3-06; Jerusalem G et al. Ann Oncol. 2020. Abst 138O). Here we describe a trial evaluating T-DXd in pts ± BM with previously treated advanced/metastatic HER2+ BC. Trial design: DESTINY-Breast12 (NCT04739761) is an open-label, multicenter, international (86 sites in the US, Europe, Australia, and Japan), phase 3b/4 study assessing the efficacy and safety of T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg q3w in pts with HER2+ BC ± BM. Pts will be enrolled in 1 of 2 cohorts (250 pts each): cohort 1 (−BM at baseline) and cohort 2 (+BM at baseline). Pts must have previously treated advanced/metastatic HER2+ BC that has progressed with ≥1 prior anti-HER2-based regimen and received ≤2 lines of therapy in the metastatic setting (excludes pts with prior tucatinib). Pts with BM must have untreated BM not needing immediate local therapy or previously treated stable or progressing BM. Primary endpoints are ORR in cohort 1 and PFS in cohort 2 (both by RECIST version 1.1 per ICR). Secondary endpoints in both cohorts are OS, DOR, time to progression, duration of subsequent therapy, PFS2, safety, and changes in symptoms, functioning, and QOL. Incidence of new symptomatic CNS metastasis (CNSM) is a secondary endpoint in cohort 1, and ORR and CNS ORR by RECIST 1.1 per ICR, CNS PFS and DOR, and time to new CNSM are secondary endpoints in cohort 2.

BACKGROUND: Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) remains an incurable disease and is the cause of nearly all deaths related to BC. Next-generation sequencing technologies are allowing the application of personalized targeted molecular therapies, thereby improving outcomes in breast cancer patients. However, they are not routinely used in the clinic and their cost could be a cause of disparity. One strategy to overcome the barriers of implementing NGS in the clinic is to promote the active participation of patients with mBC in the management of their disease and offering free access to these tests. With this in mind, we designed HOPE (SOLTI-1903), a Spanish real-world study where patients lead their inclusion, participation, and follow-up through a digital tool (DT) that guides them in every step of the journey. The ultimate objective of HOPE is to gather real-world data on the utilization of molecular information in the management of mBC and to empower these patients. TRIAL DESIGN: Patients diagnosed with locally advanced or mBC can be included. Basic demographic data, disease characteristics, treatment history and quality of life data are collected by patients through a DT. The study is complemented by a patient empowerment program including informative workshops and precision medicine video-tutorials. Patients are encouraged to involve their physicians in HOPE. A total of 600 patients will be included in Spain. PATIENT JOURNEY: Once patients request participation through the DT, a dedicated team in SOLTI assists them in the subsequent steps while validating that eligibility criteria are met according to patient-provided data. Then, patients receive instructions from SOLTI’s team to attend the nearest partner local laboratory, where they sign the study informed consent form. A metastatic (preferably) or primary archival tumor sample is requested from the patient’s reference hospital and analyzed by FoundationOne®CDx. Patients that are in progression or not receiving active systemic chemo- or radiotherapy undergo a blood draw to receive a Guardant360 analysis. These two NGS tests are offered to all patients, and the blood test is performed even if no tissue is available. The results from the molecular analyses are regularly reviewed by a Molecular Advisory Board (MAB). The MAB, based on its joint experience in clinical oncology, genomics, bioethics, and pathology, may add some advice to these reports via DT, making comments about detected molecular alterations and adding further recommendations for specific treatment options or available CT with targeted therapies and/or additional genetic tests such as germline validation of potentially significant findings. From that moment, patients are requested to record their disease evolution in the DT every 3 months for 2 years. The primary objective is to assess the real-world clinical practice integrating molecular profiling in the Standard of Care management of patients with mBC connected through a DT. Secondary objectives include to i) describe the genetic mutational profile of mBC, ii) estimate the enrollment rate in CT of patients engaged in a patient-centered strategy for molecular tumor assessment, iii) assessing Progression Free Survival, Overall Survival and Quality of Life status among patients enrolled in CT according to the tumor’s genomic profile and iv) evaluate the logistic feasibility of the study. Recruitment started on October 2020. By June 2021, 362 patients had been enrolled.
