Abstract Purpose PI3K/AKT pathway alterations are frequent in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancers. IPATunity130 Cohort B investigated ipatasertib–paclitaxel in PI3K pathway-mutant HR+ unresectable locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer (aBC). Methods Cohort B of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 IPATunity130 trial enrolled patients with HR+ HER2-negative PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered measurable aBC who were considered inappropriate for endocrine-based therapy (demonstrated insensitivity to endocrine therapy or visceral crisis) and were candidates for taxane monotherapy. Patients with prior chemotherapy for aBC or relapse < 1 year since (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy were ineligible. Patients were randomized 2:1 to ipatasertib (400 mg, days 1–21) or placebo, plus paclitaxel (80 mg/m2, days 1, 8, 15), every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Results Overall, 146 patients were randomized to ipatasertib–paclitaxel and 76 to placebo–paclitaxel. In both arms, median investigator-assessed PFS was 9.3 months (hazard ratio, 1.00, 95% CI 0.71–1.40) and the objective response rate was 47%. Median paclitaxel duration was 6.9 versus 8.8 months in the ipatasertib–paclitaxel versus placebo–paclitaxel arms, respectively; median ipatasertib/placebo duration was 8.0 versus 9.1 months, respectively. The most common grade ≥ 3 adverse events were diarrhea (12% with ipatasertib–paclitaxel vs 1% with placebo–paclitaxel), neutrophil count decreased (9% vs 7%), neutropenia (8% vs 9%), peripheral neuropathy (7% vs 3%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (3% vs 5%) and hypertension (1% vs 5%). Conclusion Adding ipatasertib to paclitaxel did not improve efficacy in PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered HR+ HER2-negative aBC. The ipatasertib–paclitaxel safety profile was consistent with each agent’s known adverse effects. Trial registration NCT03337724.

TPS1109 Background: Inhibition of CDK4 in preclinical models, demonstrated efficacy in HER2+ breast cancer and enhanced activity of HER2-targeted therapy suggesting a crosstalk between HER2 signaling and the cyclin D/CDK4 signaling pathway in which CDK4 & CDK6 inhibitors may re-sensitize resistant tumors to HER2 blockade.Abemaciclib is a selective inhibitor of CDK4 & CDK6 inhibitor that demonstrates single-agent anti-tumor activity on a continuous dosing schedule in women with hormone receptor positive (HR+) advanced breast cancer. Triple regimens with abemaciclib have been tolerable. Methods: monarcHER is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, study in postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2+ locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Eligible patients (pts) are those previously treated with ≥2 HER2-directed therapies in advanced disease setting; T-DM1 and a taxane in any disease setting; no prior treatment with fulvestrant or any CDK4 & CDK6 inhibitor or with ECOG PS ≤1; LVEF ≥50%; no visceral crisis and no CNS metastases that are untreated, symptomatic or requiring steroids. Pts are randomized 1:1:1 to Arm A (abemaciclib [150mg PO Q12H] plus trastuzumab [IV infusion Q3 weeks] plus fulvestrant [IM injection on D1, 15, 29 then Q4 weeks]), Arm B (abemaciclib plus trastuzumab), or Arm C (trastuzumab plus SOC single-agent chemotherapy of physician’s choice); stratified based on number of prior systemic regimens (excluding single agent endocrine therapy) and disease status (measurable vs nonmeasurable). The primary objective evaluates investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary objectives include overall survival, objective response rate, duration of response, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate, safety and tolerability, efficacy, health outcomes and pharmacokinetics. Analysis is planned at 165 PFS events, providing ≥80% power to detect superiority of Arm A and Arm B over Arm C, assuming a hazard ratio of 0.67 at a one-sided alpha of 0.10. First pt visit occurred in May 2016; with a target enrollment of 225 pts. Contact information: 1-877-CTLILLY (1-877-285-4559) Clinical trial information: NCT02675231.

The oral poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib is approved for the treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and a germline breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutation who have been treated with chemotherapy. This case report describes a 63-year-old postmenopausal woman with somatic BRCA2-mutated mBC who responded to olaparib treatment following multiple prior lines of therapy. The patient presented in January 2012 with locally advanced, hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2− BC which, despite initial response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, recurred as bone disease in February 2014, and subsequently skin (June 2016) and liver (October 2016) metastases. A comprehensive 592-gene next-generation sequencing panel (Caris Life Sciences), performed on a skin biopsy, detected a pathogenic frameshift mutation in BRCA2 (H3154fs, c.9460delC), which was not identified in a 28-gene hereditary cancer germline analysis (Myriad Genetics, Inc.), and was therefore considered to be a somatic mutation. In January 2017, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis (Guardant Health, Inc.) confirmed the BRCA2 H3154fs mutation in plasma. After several lines of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, deriving clinical benefit from eribulin and capecitabine, the disease progressed by October 2017, and olaparib (300 mg orally twice daily) was initiated in January 2018. By April 2018, the liver lesions had shrunk by 80% and a >90% response in multiple skin lesions was noted. Clinical response was maintained for 8 months, followed by progression in the skin in September 2018. Biopsy of recurrent lesions revealed a novel BRCA2 mutation, E3152del (c.9455_9457delAGG), predicted to restore the open reading frame and presumably the mechanism of resistance to olaparib. Further likely resistance mutations were noted in subsequent cfDNA analyses. This case demonstrated a clinical response with olaparib as a later-line therapy for HR+, HER2− mBC with a somatic BRCA2 mutation.

The development of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors has been more prominent in hormone receptor (HR)-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancers, with a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in first and later lines of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) therapy. Preclinical evidence suggests that there is activity of CDK4/6 inhibitors in nonluminal cell lines. Here, we present a review of the current preclinical and clinical data on the use of CDK inhibitors in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

e18094 Background: Palbociclib has been approved as a first line therapy in hormone-receptor positive (HR+) and HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer(MBC) manifesting significant improvement in progression free survival (PFS). We studied this drug in a community setting. The endpoints were estimated PFS, objective response, toxicities and patient outcomes. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study of HR+MBC patients receiving palbociclib after its FDA approval. 22 patients were selected Results: A total of 22 patients were included (Male = 2, Female = 20). Median age was 60-years (range, 49-84). About 90% patients had received at least one previous therapy and the median number was 1.5. 13% patients were on fulvestrant, 86% on letrozole and 4.5% on exemestane. About 64% of patients had ECOG status of ≥ 1. Median duration of palbociclib treatment was 5-months, therefore, an estimated PFS at 18-months was 50%. 4.5% patients attained complete response. 22% patients achieved partial response, 22% had stable disease and 50% patients demonstrated disease progression. 72% patients had neutropenia, of which 45% were grade ≥ 3. Thrombocytopenia and anemia were common (63% and 58%, respectively) but grade ≥ 3 thrombocytopenia or anemia was not observed. 50% patients required dose reductions and 18% required drug cessation owing to side effects. Conclusions: PFS was much lower as compared to actual trials in our real-world experience. Despite, several interesting observations were good objective response rates in males and HER-2+ patients underscoring its potential clinical efficacy in these subsets. Furthermore, apart from myelosuppressive side effects, pneumonitis was observed in one patient necessitating vigilance in clinical practice
