Aim: To investigate the comparative effectiveness of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in a real-world population of HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients. Materials and methods: The Flatiron Health database was used to identify a cohort of HER2+ mBC patients who received first-line trastuzumab treatment and T-DM1 or lapatinib plus capecitabine as second-line treatment. Overall survival was compared between the two groups. Results: Three hundred and forty-five patients with HER2+ mBC received second-line T-DM1 and 65 lapatinib plus capecitabine. Overall survival was longer in patients treated with T-DM1 than those treated with lapatinib plus capecitabine (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.41–0.91). Conclusion: Real-world data supports the effectiveness of T-DM1 in the second-line treatment of HER2+ mBC patients.

Abstract Background The trastuzumab biosimilar MYL-1401O has demonstrated equivalent efficacy and comparable safety to reference trastuzumab (RTZ) in clinical trials of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) as non-dual HER2 therapy. Here, we present the first real-world comparison of MYL-1401O versus RTZ with single/dual HER2-targeted therapy for the neoadjuvant, adjuvan and palliative first-/second-line treatment with HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients in two tertiary hospitals in Turkey. Methods We retrospectively investigated medical records in the Severance Breast Cancer Registry in Turkey. We identified patients with HER2-positive EBC (n=159) who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (n= 92) with RTZ or MYL-1401O±pertuzumab and adjuvant chemotherapy (n=67) with RTZ or MYL-1401O plus taxan between january 2018 and jun 2021. Stage IV MBC (n=53) who had received palliative first-line treatment with RTZ or MYL-1401O, and docetaxel±pertuzumab (THP) or second-line treatment with RTZ or MYL-1401O, and taxan between january 2018 and jun 2021. Primary endpoints were pathological complete response in neoadjuvant grup (pCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) in adjuvant and metastatic grup. Secondary endpoints in the metastatic patient group (MBC) was overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and cardiac safety. Results The rate of achieving pCR in the group receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy was similar between MYL and RTZ (62.7% [37/59] and 55.9% [19/34] p=0.509). Median PFS similar in EBC-adjuvant group, 12-24-36 months PFS respectively 96.3%, 84.7%, 71.5% in patients with MYL and 100%, 88.5%, 64.8% in patients with RTZ (95% CI p=0.577). Median PFS similar in metastatic group, 23.0 (9.8-16.1) months in patients with MYL-1401O and 23 (19.9-26.0) months in patients with RTZ (95% CI p=0.270). The ORR, DCR, and cardiac safety profiles did not also show significant difference efficacy outcomes between two groups. Conclusion These real-world data suggest that biosimilar trastuzumab MYL-1401O has similar effectiveness and cardiac safety to RTZ in HER2-positive EBC and MBC patients when administered as part of single/dual HER2-targeted therapy with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting.

Abstract Background Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer after taxane with trastuzumab and pertuzumab is standard therapy. However, treatment strategies beyond T-DM1 are still in development with insufficient evidence of their effectiveness. Here, we aimed to evaluate real-world treatment choice and efficacy of treatments after T-DM1 for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Methods In this multi-centre retrospective cohort study involving 17 hospitals, 325 female HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients whose post-T-DM1 treatment began between April 15, 2014 and December 31, 2018 were enrolled. The primary end point was the objective response rate (ORR) of post-T-DM1 treatments. Secondary end points included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), and overall survival (OS). Results The median number of prior treatments of post-T-DM1 treatment was four. The types of post-T-DM1 treatments included (1) chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (n = 102; 31.4%), (2) chemotherapy concomitant with trastuzumab (n = 78; 24.0%), (3), lapatinib with capecitabine (n = 63; 19.4%), and (4) others (n = 82; 25.2%). ORR was 22.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 18.1–28.0], DCR = 66.6% (95% CI 60.8–72.0), median PFS = 6.1 months (95% CI 5.3–6.7), median TTF = 5.1 months (95% CI 4.4–5.6), and median OS = 23.7 months (95% CI 20.7–27.4). Conclusion The benefits of treatments after T-DM1 are limited. Further investigation of new treatment strategies beyond T-DM1 is awaited for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients.

Background: The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy (ET) has proven to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) in women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Few data are available regarding the efficacy of such a regimen outside the clinical trials. Patients and methods: This is a multicentre prospective real-world experience aimed at verifying the outcome of palbociclib plus ET in an unselected population of MBC patients. The primary aim was the clinical benefit rate (CBR); secondary aims were the median PFS, overall survival (OS) and safety. Patients received palbociclib plus letrozole 2.5 mg (cohort A) or fulvestrant 500 mg (cohort B). Results: In total, 191 patients (92 in cohort A, 99 in cohort B) were enrolled and treated, and 182 were evaluable for the analysis. Median age was 62 years (range 47–79); 54% had visceral involvement; 28% of patients had previously performed one treatment line (including chemotherapy and ET), 22.6% two lines and 15.9% three. An overall response rate of 34.6% was observed with 11 (6.0%) complete responses and 52 (28.6%) partial responses. Stable disease was achieved by 78 patients (42.9%) with an overall CBR of 59.8%. At a median follow-up of 24 months (range 6–32), median PFS was 13 months without significant differences between the cohorts. When analysed according to treatment line, PFS values were significantly prolonged when palbociclib-based therapy was administered as first-line treatment (14.0 months), to decrease progressively in second and subsequent lines (11.7 and 6.7 months, respectively). Median OS was 25 months, ranging from 28.0 months in 1st line to 18.0 and 13.0 months in 2nd and subsequent lines, respectively. Conclusions: Our data indicate that palbociclib plus ET is active and safe in HR+/HER2− MBC, also suggesting a better performance of the combinations in earlier treatment lines.

Background: Two thirds (62%) of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients in Western Europe have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative disease, for which anthracyclines and taxanes are recommended as first-line treatments, followed by microtubule-targeting agents such as capecitabine, vinorelbine and/or eribulin. The study objective was to compare the cost-effectiveness of eribulin in Spain as a second-line treatment for HER2-negative MBC with its current status as a third-line treatment for patients who have received capecitabine. Methods: A Markov model was developed from the perspective of the Spanish healthcare system. The model had three health states: Stable; Progression and Death. In Stable, patients received eribulin or: capecitabine and vinorelbine for HER2-negative patients; primary treatment of physician’s choice (TPC) for post-capecitabine patients. In Progression, all patients received secondary TPC. Model inputs were overall survival, progression-free survival and costs relating to chemotherapies, grade 3/4 adverse events and healthcare utilization. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to identify uncertainty. Results: As second-line treatment, Eribulin was associated with a greater incremental benefit in life years (LYs) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) than capecitabine and vinorelbine. Erubilin as third-line treatment was associated with greater benefit in life years (LYs) and QALYs than TPC. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) for eribulin were higher in the second-line than the third-line setting in terms of LYs (€35,149 versus €24,884) and QALYs (€37,152 versus €35,484). In both settings, deterministic sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the ICER is most sensitive to the eribulin price. Conclusion: Eribulin is cost-effective as second-line treatment for HER2-negative MBC patients in Spain; albeit, slightly less so than as third-line treatment for MBC patients who have received capecitabine (an ICER per QALY difference of €1,668). This difference may fall within the margin of error for the model and could potentially be addressed by a minor reduction in the eribulin price.
