Her2 Breast Cancer

TPS1142 Background: Adjuvant studies utilizing trastuzumab in early HER2+ breast cancer demonstrated a large reduction in recurrence and death. Post-enrollment central testing showed HER2 non-amplified participants derived similar benefit. Methods: Selection of one of the two chemotherapy regimens is by physician choice: The non-anthracycline regimen is TC (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) administered IV every 3 weeks for 6 cycles; the anthracycline regimen is AC followed by WP (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 administered IV either every 3 weeks or every 2 weeks [per investigator discretion] for 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV weekly for 12 doses). Patients are randomly assigned to receive chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab therapy. For patients receiving the TC chemotherapy regimen, trastuzumab is given every 3 weeks during and following chemotherapy until 1 year after the first trastuzumab dose (8 mg/kg loading dose; 6 mg/kg for the remaining doses). For patients receiving the AC followed by WP chemotherapy regimen, trastuzumab begins with the first dose of weekly paclitaxel and will be given weekly for 12 doses (4 mg/kg loading dose; 2 mg/kg for the remaining weekly doses). Following completion of WP, trastuzumab therapy continues with 6 mg/kg doses given every 3 weeks for a total of 1 year. Eligibility: Eligibility includes: node positive or high risk node negative female breast cancer patients; HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ scores, but non amplified by FISH Statistical Design: The primary aim is to determine whether the addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy improves invasive disease-free survival (IDFS). 3260 patients will be enrolled to provide statistical power of 0.9 to detect a 33% reduction in the hazard rate of IDFS using a one-sided alpha level of 0.025. Progress: Protocol was activated in January 2011. As of January 27, 2012, 486 of 3260 patients have been enrolled. Supported by NCI U10-12027, -37377, 69651, 69974, and Genentech, Inc.

Her2 Breast Cancer

TPS1139 Background: Adjuvant trastuzumab trials in HER2+ breast cancer (BC) demonstrated a large reduction in recurrence and death. Central testing showed HER2 non-amplified participants derived similar benefit. Among HER2-amplified patients (pts), multiple studies showed no effect on benefit by degree of amplification. Blinded internal and external review confirmed the non-amplified nature of the HER2 normal group. Based on these findings, NSABP B-47, sponsored by the NCI, was activated January 2011 and is actively accruing. The study is NCI central IRB approved, open via the CTSU, and endorsed by SWOG, ECOG, and RTOG. Methods: Study: Chemotherapy treatment is by physician choice: The non-anthracycline regimen is TC (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide (C) 600 mg/m2) IV q 3 wks for 6 cycles; the anthracycline regimen is AC → WP (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and C 600 mg/m2 IV either q 3 wks or q 2 wks [investigator discretion] for 4 cycles → paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV wkly for 12 doses). Pts are randomly assigned to chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab for 1 year. Pts receive adjuvant radiation therapy and endocrine therapy, as clinically indicated. Detailed menstrual history, concurrent medications, weight changes, and biomarkers (estrogen, stress, inflammation), are being collected. Eligibility: Eligibility includes: node positive or high risk node negative BC pts; HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ scores, but non amplified by FISH; normal cardiac, renal, and liver function. Detailed eligibility will be provided. Statistical Design: The primary aim is to determine whether the addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy improves invasive disease-free survival (IDFS). 3,260 pts will be enrolled to provide statistical power of 0.9 to detect a 33% reduction in the hazard rate of IDFS using a one-sided alpha level of 0.025. Progress: Protocol was activated in January 2011. First pt was entered in February 2011. As of January 23, 2013, 1,416 of 3,260 (43.4 %) pts have been enrolled. Updated information on enrollment and study background will be provided. Support: NCI U10-12027, -37377, 69651, 69974, and Genentech, Inc. Clinical trial information: NCT01275677.

Purpose Adding taxanes to anthracycline-based adjuvant therapy improves survival outcomes of patients with node-positive breast cancer (BC). Currently, however, most patients with BC are node negative at diagnosis. The only pure node-negative study (Spanish Breast Cancer Research Group 9805) reported so far showed a docetaxel benefit but significant toxicity. Here we tested the efficacy and safety of weekly paclitaxel (wP) in node-negative patients, which is yet to be established. Patients and Methods Patients with BC having T1-T3/N0 tumors and at least one high-risk factor for recurrence (according to St. Gallen 1998 criteria) were eligible. After primary surgery, 1,925 patients were randomly assigned to receive fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FAC) × 6 or FAC × 4 followed by wP × 8 (FAC-wP). The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS) after a median follow-up of 5 years. Secondary end points included toxicity and overall survival. Results After a median follow-up of 63.3 months, 93% and 90.3% of patients receiving FAC-wP or FAC regimens, respectively, remained disease free (hazard ratio [HR], 0.73; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.99; log-rank P = .04). Thirty-one patients receiving FAC-wP versus 40 patients receiving FAC died (one and seven from cardiovascular diseases, respectively; HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.49 to 1.26; log-rank P = .31). The most relevant grade 3 and 4 adverse events in the FAC-wP versus the FAC arm were febrile neutropenia (2.7% v 3.6%), fatigue (7.9% v 3.4%), and sensory neuropathy (5.5% v 0%). Conclusion For patients with high-risk node-negative BC, the adjuvant FAC-wP regimen was associated with a small but significant improvement in DFS compared with FAC therapy, in addition to manageable toxicity, especially regarding long-term cardiac effects.
