Objective. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is a promising treatment target for patients with breast cancer (BC). Our study aimed to evaluate the most effective and safe PI3K inhibitor for patients with BC, especially in PIK3CA mutation. Methods. Electronics databases were systematically searched from their inception to June 2020 for published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PI3K inhibitor therapy versus non-PI3K inhibitor therapy in patients with BC that mentioned or reported data of PIK3CA-mutated patient subgroups. Eligible RCTs had to report at least one of the following clinical outcomes: objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), or adverse events (AE). Results. Nine eligible RCTs involving 3872 BC patients and four PI3K inhibitor therapy arms (i.e., alpelisib, buparlisib, pictilisib, and taselisib) were included. In evaluating ORR, beneficial significant results of PI3K inhibitors could be found in the PIK3CA mutated group (1.952, 1.012 to 3.766); analogous results could also be found in 6m-PFS (1.519, 1.144 to 2.018) and PFS from HR data (-0.346, -0.525 to -0.168). From pairwise and network meta-analyses, buparlisib showed the most favorable ORR, as it was significantly different from fulvestrant in the PIK3CA-mutated patient group (2.80, 1.56 to 5.03). Alpelisib ranked first in the assessment of 6m-PFS and was significantly different from fulvestrant in the PIK3CA-mutated group (2.33, 1.45 to 3.44). The above PI3K inhibitors had good safety with few serious AEs. PROSPERO registration CRD42020193932. Conclusion. The PI3K inhibitors alpelisib and buparlisib appear to have superior efficacy and safety therapeutic choices for patients with BC, especially in PIK3CA-mutated patients.

Pi3k Inhibition

The PIKTAM study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the PI3K inhibitor buparlisib in combination with tamoxifen in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer patients after failure of prior endocrine therapy. In this open-label, single-arm phase II trial, 25 patients were enrolled in 11 sites in Germany. Patients were stratified according to PIK3CA mutation status (tissue and cfDNA from serum samples) and/or loss of PTEN expression. Patients received buparlisib (100mg) and tamoxifen (20mg) once daily on a continuous schedule (28-day cycle) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was overall 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Key secondary endpoints included the 6-month PFS rate in subpopulations, PFS, overall survival, overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. Overall, the 6-month PFS rate was 33.3% (n/N = 7/21, one-sided 95% CI 16.8–100) and median PFS was 6.1 (CI 2.6–10.6) months. The ORR and DCR were 12.5% and 44%. The PIK3CA-mutated subgroup consistently showed the highest 6-month PFS rate (62.5%, n/N = 5/8), median PFS (8.7 months), ORR (40%), and DCR (80%). No new safety signals emerged. Most common adverse events were gastrointestinal disorders (56%), psychiatric/mood disorders (48%), skin rash/hypersensitivity (44%), cardiovascular (40%), and hepatic (32%) events. The trial was prematurely terminated due to the substantially altered risk – benefit profile of buparlisib. Nevertheless, PIK3CA mutations emerged as a clinically feasible and useful biomarker for combined PI3K inhibition and endocrine therapy in patients with HR+ breast cancer. Further biomarker – stratified studies with isoform – specific PI3K inhibitors are warranted. EudraCT No: 2014–000599–24.

Study Results

1079 Background: With a general prolongation of survival, brain metastasis (BM) has become a common complication of breast cancer. However, management of BM remains a severe challenge. We hypothesized that bevacizumab (BE) could significantly enhance drug delivery of etoposide (E) and cisplatin (P), two of the cytotoxic agents that have moderate activity in BM of breast cancer, to brain tumors and thereby improve the efficacy. Methods: Breast cancer patients (pts) with BM progression after whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) were enrolled. Pts received BE 15 mg/kg day 1, and E 70 mg/m2/day, days 2-4, P 70 mg/m2/day, day 2, every 21 days for a maximum of 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was a centrally assessed CNS objective response (CNS-OR) defined as a ≥50% reduction in the volumetric sum of all measurable CNS lesions in the absence of increasing steroid use, development of new CNS lesion, or progressive neurologic symptoms. Using a Simon’s optimal two-stage design with 15% as a minimum interest in CNS-OR rate (by intent to treat analysis), 11 pts were needed at the first stage; and a total of 31 evaluable for the whole study. Results: Among 16 pts enrolled from Jan 2011 to Jan 2012, 12 pts were evaluable for treatment response at the time of abstract submission. Median age was 55 (range 34-66); 1 pt was ER+HER2-, 5 pts were HER2+, and 6 pts were ER-HER2-. The median treatment cycles were 4.5 (range 1-6). Nine of 12 pts (75%; 95%CI 42.8-94.5) achieved CNS-OR including 6 pts (50%) with ≥80% and 3 pts (25%) with 50-80% CNS volumetric reduction, respectively. Two pts had non-CNS disease progression while CNS tumors remained under control. The median CNS progression free survival was 6.6 months (95% CI 0.8-12.4). Grade 3 /4 toxicities included neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, and platelet in 13 (25.5%), 6 (11.8%), 2 (3.9%), and 2 (3.9%) cycles, respectively. Seven pts (58.3%) had received dose reduction to E 60 mg/m2 and P 60 mg/m2. Early reporting of this study was approved by Data and Safety Monitoring Committeedue to an extremely promising result. Conclusions: BEEP regimen has a significant anti-tumor effect for BM of breast cancer which progresses after WBRT.

Tumor Mutational Burden

TPS1115 Background: A previous study from our group showed that approximately 9% of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is hypermutated, defined as a tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥10 Mutations/Megabase (Mut/Mb). The aim of this study is to evaluate if patients with hypermutated HER2-negative MBC benefit from the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study assessing the efficacy of nivolumab 3 mg/Kg intravenously (IV) every 14 days plus Ipilimumab 1 mg/Kg IV every 6 weeks in subjects with hypermutated metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients with measurable HER2-negative MBC, TMB ≥10 Mut/Mb assessed by a cancer-gene panel evaluating > 300 genes and performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory, and 0-3 prior lines of chemotherapy in the advanced setting are eligible. The primary objective is overall response rate according to RECIST 1.1. Secondary objectives include the safety and tolerability of the combination, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The study will follow a two-stage design. In the first stage 14 patients will be enrolled. If there is at least one patient with objective response, accrual will continue to the second stage where an additional 16 patients will be enrolled. If there are at least 4 patients with an objective response among the 30 patients, the regimen will be considered worthy of further study. If the true response rate is 5%, the chance the regimen is declared worthy of further study is less than 5%. If the true response rate is 25%, the chance that the regimen is declared worthy of further study is > 90%. Tumor biopsies, peripheral blood, and stool collection are mandatory and will be obtained at baseline, on treatment (end of cycle 1), and at disease progression and will be assessed for potential biomarkers of treatment response. The trial was activated in February 2019, and accrual should be completed in 18 months. Clinical trial information: NCT03789110.

PurposeBreast cancer type 1 susceptibility (BRCA) mutations not only increase breast cancer (BC) risk but also result in poor survival and prognosis for BC patients. This study will analyze the effect and safety of therapeutic regimens for the treatment of BC patients with germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutations by network meta-analysis.MethodsPublic databases were searched from inception to 29 April 2021. Frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the benefit of chemotherapy and targeted drug-related strategies.ResultsSeventeen articles were included in the analysis. For progression-free survival (PFS), olaparib (hazard ratio (HR): 0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.43 – 0.79), platinum (HR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.22 – 0.89), and talazoparib (HR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.41 – 0.71) were significantly better than platinum-free chemotherapy (Chemo). The results based on indirect comparisons showed that veliparib (Vel) + platinum + Chemo was also significantly better than Chemo (HR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.20 – 0.69). For overall survival (OS), olaparib was significantly better than Chemo only in the population who did not receive prior chemotherapy. For pathologic complete response (pCR), bevacizumab+Chemo had a significant advantage over platinum agents (OR: 3.64; 95% CI: 1.07 - 12.39). Olaparib and talazoparib both showed significantly higher objective response rates (ORRs) than Chemo.ConclusionThe PFS results suggested that olaparib, talazoparib, and Vel+platinum agent+Chemo were ideal regimens for overall, TNBC, and advanced BC patients with gBRCA mutations. Whether PARPis are suitable for patients with gBRCA mutations who have received prior platinum therapy still needs to be clarified.

Clinical Benefits

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd, DS-8201), an anti-HER2 antibody–drug conjugate, has shown significant clinical benefits in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer patients. In the phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 trial, T-DXd demonstrated an objective response of 60.9% and median progression-free survival of 16.4 months, laying the foundation for accelerated approval in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer patients who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. Moreover, T-DXd exhibited promising antitumor efficacy against HER2-low-expressing metastatic breast cancer. Its distinctive side effect was pneumonitis, with a 13.6% incidence. It is approved in the US with boxed warnings for interstitial lung disease and embryo–fetal toxicity. This review focuses on preclinical, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data on T-DXd and clinical evidence of its antitumor activity (both as monotherapy and in combination) and tolerability in metastatic breast cancer.

Background: This phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the chemotherapy combination of gemcitabine and vinorelbine in taxane-pretreated Japanese metastatic breast cancer patients. Methods: In this multicenter, phase II, single-arm study, patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer were administered gemcitabine (1,200 mg/m2) and vinorelbine (25 mg/m2) intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate, and other endpoints included progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Results: A total of 42 patients were enrolled in this study. The objective response rate and clinical benefit rate were 24 and 43%, respectively. The median progression-free survival was 4.0 months. The median overall survival was 11.1 months. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was the most common hematologic toxicity, occurring in 22 patients (54%). Nonhematologic toxicity was moderate and transient, with fatigue (48%) being the most common condition and no severe adverse event reported. Conclusion: The combination of gemcitabine and vinorelbine is an effective and tolerable regimen for HER2-negative, taxane-pretreated, metastatic breast cancer patients in Japan.

The Impact

Aim. To evaluate the impact of PIK3CA mutation status on clinical outcomes of HR+ breast cancer treated with PI3K inhibitors. Methods. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in online databases from inception to December 31, 2019. The main characteristics and prognostic data of each eligible study were extracted. The odds ratio (OR) for the overall response rate (ORR) and hazard ratio (HR) for progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated using the fixed-effects Mantel-Haenszel model. Results. A total of 8 studies involving 2670 patients were included for analysis. Overall, the clinical outcomes of PI3K inhibitors were significantly influenced by PIK3CA mutation status in HR+ breast cancer. After the treatment of PI3K inhibitors, HR+ breast cancer patients with PIK3CA mutations presented better ORR (PIK3CA-mutated group: OR=1.98 [95% CI, 1.46 to 2.70]; PIK3CA wild-type group: OR=1.09 [95% CI, 0.78 to 1.53]) and better PFS (PIK3CA-mutated group: HR=0.65 [95% CI, 0.55 to 0.76]; PIK3CA wild-type group: HR=0.87 [95% CI, 0.70 to 1.09]). No publication bias was detected for ORR and PFS in our analysis. Conclusion. In this meta-analysis, it suggests that the association between clinical outcomes of PI3K inhibitors and PIK3CA mutation status is dramatic. PIK3CA mutations were a favorable factor in the clinical outcomes of HR+ breast cancer treated with PI3K inhibitors.

1051 Background: PI3K and CDK4/6 inhibitors synergise in ER+ve and –ve PIK3CA-mt breast cancer (BC) models. Escalation phase of this study set recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) at P 125mg on a 3/1 scheme plus T 2mg daily ( Lim, ASCO 2017). Here we present the results of expansion cohorts for PIK3CA-mt BC patients (pts). Methods: The primary objective was to assess the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of the P + T + FUL triplet in pts with measurable PIK3CA-mt ER+ve HER2-ve advanced BC, with up to two prior lines of chemotherapy for advanced disease. PIK3CA mutation was assessed in tissue or plasma DNA analysis. Exploratory objectives included assessment of efficacy of P + T in a cohort of pts with PIK3CA-mt advanced ER-ve BC. Safety is reported overall for 44 patients including an additional cohort of 7 PIK3CA-unknown ER+ve BC pts treated with P + T + letrozole (LET). For the P + T + FUL triplet a Simon minmax design was used, with 6 responses in 25 patients required to declare efficacy. Results: We recruited 24 assessable patients with PIK3CA-mt ER+ve HER2-ve advanced BC, median age 57 (42-74), median 3 (1-9) prior therapy lines for advance disease, with 24 (100%) receiving prior endocrine therapy and 23 (96%) prior aromatase inhibitor. ORR was 33% (8/24, 95% CI 16-55%), with median progression free survival (PFS) 7.9m (95% CI 5.6-11.8). For the 11 assessable PIK3CA-mt ER-ve pts (8 HER2-ve, 3 HER2+ve) receiving P + T, ORR was 0% (0/11), clinical benefit rate (CBR) 27% (3/11) and median PFS 4.3m (95% CI 1.8-6.1). Most common AEs across all cohorts were neutropenia (80%), fatigue (50%), mucositis (50%) and thrombocytopenia (30%). Most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (57%) and rash (11%). Translational research is ongoing. Conclusions: The triplet of P + T + FUL has promising efficacy in pre-treated PIK3CA-mt ER+ve advanced BC. A subset of patients with PIK3CA-mt ER-ve advanced BC had clinical benefit from P + T. The combination of P + T +/- FUL/LET was well tolerated with anticipated AEs. Clinical trial information: NCT02389842.

Background Previous studies have suggested that metformin might improve survival outcomes in patients with breast cancer. However, findings on the efficacy of metformin with chemotherapy or endocrine therapy are inconsistent. Objective To clarify the efficacy of metformin with chemotherapy or endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients according to the treatment setting, including neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastasis/recurrence. Methods We systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and EMBASE from inception through July 2020. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and hypoglycemia rate were the primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes included severe adverse events (SAEs) and relapse-free survival. We used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach and performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin with chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in patients with breast cancer. Results Our systematic review included 412 participants from 5 trials. Metformin showed little to no difference in OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.13; 95% CI = 0.71-1.81; certainty of evidence [COE], moderate) and PFS (HR = 1.14; 95% CI = 0.86-1.50; COE, moderate) in patients with metastasis/recurrence. The evidence was very uncertain about the effect of metformin on survival outcomes in patients who received metformin with neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment. Metformin showed little to no difference in hypoglycemia and SAEs. Conclusion and Relevance Metformin should be discouraged routinely in nondiabetic patients with metastatic/recurrent breast cancer. Further RCTs are needed to verify whether metformin with chemotherapy or endocrine therapy results in significant clinical benefits in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting.
