Background: Improving outcomes for patients with human epidermal growth factor 2-positive (HER2+) central nervous system (CNS) metastases remains an unmet clinical need. This trial evaluated a novel combination of everolimus, lapatinib and capecitabine for this disease. Methods: Patients with trastuzumab-pretreated, HER2+ breast cancer brain metastasis without prior therapy with a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor were eligible. Patients received lapatinib and everolimus daily (continuously) and capecitabine twice daily (d1–14) in 21-d cycles. The primary endpoint was the 12-week CNS objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included safety, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), best CNS ORR and extra-CNS ORR. Results: A total of 19 participants were enrolled and treated with ⩾1 dose of the study drug. The median age was 58.5 years, the median number of therapies for metastatic breast cancer was 2.5 (0–11). Pretrial, 74% of participants had received prior lapatinib, capecitabine or both. A total of 63% had received previous CNS radiation or surgical resection and CNS radiation. The maximum tolerated doses were lapatinib at 1000 mg, everolimus at 10 mg, and capecitabine at 1000 mg/m2. Phase II proceeded with capecitabine at 750 mg/m2 due to better tolerability. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were mucositis (16%), diarrhea, fatigue, and hypokalemia (11% each). Of 11 participants evaluable for 12-week CNS ORR, 3 (27%) had partial response and 7 (64%) had stable disease. The best CNS ORR in eligible participants was 28% (5/18). The median PFS and OS were 6.2 and 24.2 months, respectively. Conclusions: This novel triplet combination of lapatinib, everolimus, and capecitabine is well tolerated and yielded a 27% response rate in the CNS at 12 weeks in heavily pretreated participants. Larger studies are warranted to further evaluate this regimen. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01783756. Registered 05 February 2013, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01783756

PurposeTo evaluate trastuzumab (H) and docetaxel (T) with or without capecitabine (X) as first-line combination therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -positive advanced breast cancer.Patients and MethodsPatients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer were randomly assigned to H (8 mg/kg loading; 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks) plus T (75 mg/m2in HTX arm, 100 mg/m2in HT arm, every 3 weeks) with or without X (950 mg/m2twice per day on days 1 to 14 every 3 weeks). The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR).ResultsIn 222 patients, median follow-up was approximately 24 months. ORR was high with both regimens (70.5% with HTX; 72.7% with HT; P = .717); complete response rate was 23.2% with HTX compared with 16.4% with HT. HTX demonstrated significantly longer progression-free survival: median 17.9 months compared with 12.8 months with HT (hazard ratio, 0.72; P = .045), which translates to a gain of around 5 months. Two-year survival probability was 75% with HTX compared with 66% with HT. Febrile neutropenia (27% v 15%) and grade 3/4 neutropenia (77% v 54%) incidences were higher with HT than HTX. Treatment-related grade 3 hand-foot syndrome (17% v < 1%) and grade 3/4 diarrhea (11% v 4%) occurred more commonly with HTX than HT. One case of congestive heart failure occurred in each arm.ConclusionHTX is an effective and feasible first-line therapy for HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, although it should be reserved for patients with good performance status who are not receiving long-term steroids.

PURPOSE NALA (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01808573 ) is a randomized, active-controlled, phase III trial comparing neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), plus capecitabine (N+C) against lapatinib, a reversible dual TKI, plus capecitabine (L+C) in patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with ≥ 2 previous HER2-directed MBC regimens. METHODS Patients, including those with stable, asymptomatic CNS disease, were randomly assigned 1:1 to neratinib (240 mg once every day) plus capecitabine (750 mg/m2 twice a day 14 d/21 d) with loperamide prophylaxis, or to lapatinib (1,250 mg once every day) plus capecitabine (1,000 mg/m2 twice a day 14 d/21 d). Coprimary end points were centrally confirmed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). NALA was considered positive if either primary end point was met (α split between end points). Secondary end points were time to CNS disease intervention, investigator-assessed PFS, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), clinical benefit rate, safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). RESULTS A total of 621 patients from 28 countries were randomly assigned (N+C, n = 307; L+C, n = 314). Centrally reviewed PFS was improved with N+C (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.93; stratified log-rank P = .0059). The OS HR was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.72 to 1.07; P = .2098). Fewer interventions for CNS disease occurred with N+C versus L+C (cumulative incidence, 22.8% v 29.2%; P = .043). ORRs were N+C 32.8% (95% CI, 27.1 to 38.9) and L+C 26.7% (95% CI, 21.5 to 32.4; P = .1201); median DoR was 8.5 versus 5.6 months, respectively (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.33 to 0.74; P = .0004). The most common all-grade adverse events were diarrhea (N+C 83% v L+C 66%) and nausea (53% v 42%). Discontinuation rates and HRQoL were similar between groups. CONCLUSION N+C significantly improved PFS and time to intervention for CNS disease versus L+C. No new N+C safety signals were observed.

Oral Vinorelbine

1052 Background: Chemotherapy (CT) plus H is the standard first-line treatment for HER2-positive MBC. H plus vinorelbine is an active and well-tolerated regimen in this setting. The all-oral combination of NVBo and X also appears active and well-tolerated in MBC. We report efficacy and safety results from the first 34 patients (pts) included in an international trial evaluating NVBoXH in HER2-positive MBC. Methods: In this multicenter trial, main eligibility criteria included: HER2-positive disease (IHC 3+ or FISH+), documented measurable MBC previously untreated by CT, relapse 6 months after completing neoadjuvant or adjuvant CT, Karnofsky PS = 70, age =18 years. Pts received 3-weekly cycles of NVBo 60 mg/m2 (cycle 1) escalating to 80 mg/m2 (from cycle 2) days 1 and 8; × 1,000 mg/m2 bid (750 if = 65 years) days 1–14; H 4 mg/kg day 1 as a loading dose then 2 mg/kg i.v. weekly starting on day 8. Treatment was continued until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint is overall response rate. Results: Baseline characteristics: median age 54 years (20% = 65); prior (neo)adjuvant CT 21 pts (62%); type of CT: anthracycline 52%, anthracycline + taxane 29%, CMF 14%, taxane 5%; visceral involvement 29 pts (85%), >2 metastatic sites 13 pts (38%). Treatment administered: median 8 cycles, median relative dose intensity: NVBo 77%, X 81%, H 95%; NVBo dose escalation to 80 mg/m2 in 91% of pts. Safety (n=34, G3/4 NCI CTC v2 adverse events): neutropenia 22 pts (65%), diarrhea 4 pts (12%), febrile neutropenia 3 pts (9%), vomiting 3 pts (9%), hand-foot syndrome 3 pts (9%), asthenia 3 pts (9%), infection without neutropenia 2 pts (6%), LVEF decline 2 pts (6%), stomatitis 1 pt (3%), nausea 1 pt (3%), constipation 1 pt (3%). Efficacy (n=31 evaluable pts): objective response rate (RECIST) 71% (95% CI [52–86]), CR 13%, PR 58%, SD 23%, PD 6%, disease control (CR+PR+ SD for =6 months) 84%. Progression-free survival, overall survival and duration of response data are not yet mature. Conclusions: This is the first trial, in pts with HER2-positive MBC, to show high efficacy with first-line NVBoXH therapy. This regimen can be safely administered in this pt population. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

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.

e13012 Background: Pyrotinib is a newly-developed irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The efficacy of pyrotinib in patients with different baseline characteristics in the actual clinical practice has been rarely reported. This study analyzed the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib in the real world. Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed advanced HER2 positive breast cancer were included in the analyses. All patients received pyrotinib-based therapy were given pyrotinib once a day in a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included adverse events (AE), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 132 patients (median age: 52 years [29-78]) were enrolled from February 2019 to March 2020. 94(71.21%) patients had visceral metastatic lesions and 20 (15.15%) had brain metastases. HR+, HR-, or unknown HR status for primary tumor accounted for 56.82%, 42.42%, 0.76%, respectively. 115(87.12%) patients were previously administered with trastuzumab. 96(72.73%) patients received pyrotinib-based therapy as a second or further line of treatment. 94(71.21%) patients initiated pyrotinib treatment at 400 mg. Treatment regimens were pyrotinib plus capecitabine (55.30%), pyrotinib combined with trastuzumab (18.18%), and pyrotinib monotherapy (8.33%), pyrotinib combined with endocrine therapy, radiotherapy or antiangiogenic drugs (3.79%). A total of 132 patients were included in PFS analysis. mPFS was 12.0 months (95%CI 8.1-18.8). mPFS for patients without primary trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer was 14.1 months (95%CI 8.7-23.3). Patients receiving pyrotinib-based therapy as their ≥3 lines treatment had lower mPFS than those receiving pyrotinib-based therapy as their < 3 lines treatment (8.8 vs. 15.1 months, P= 0.119). mPFS in patients receiving regimen with and without capecitabine were 15.1 months and 8.4 months, respectively ( P= 0.081). As of data cutoff, mOS has not yet been reached. Among the 65 patients available for efficacy evaluation, 1 (1.54%) patient achieved complete response (CR), 24 (36.92%) patients had partial response (PR), 30 (46.15%) patients achieved stable disease (SD), and 10 (15.38%) patients had progression disease (PD), resulting in an ORR of 38.46% and DCR of 84.62%. The most common AE was diarrhea (84.17%), but only 5 (4.17%) patients were reported grade ≥ 3 diarrhea which could be well controlled. Other AEs with an incidence higher than 20.00% were anemia (36.67%), leukopenia (25.83%), vomiting (25.00%), neutropenia (22.50%). No treatment-related death occurred. Conclusions: Pyrotinib demonstrated an encouraging efficacy and manageable safety in patients with advanced HER2+ breast cancer. More data would be analyzed and reported in the future.

Purpose The mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus targets aberrant signaling through the PI3K/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway, a mechanism of resistance to anti-estrogen therapy in estrogen receptor (ER)–positive breast cancer. We hypothesized that everolimus plus the selective ER downregulator fulvestrant would be more efficacious than fulvestrant alone in ER-positive metastatic breast cancer resistant to aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy. Patients and Methods This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II study included 131 postmenopausal women with ER-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative, AI-resistant metastatic breast cancer randomly assigned to fulvestrant (500 mg days 1 and 15 of cycle 1, then day 1 of cycles 2 and beyond) plus everolimus or placebo. The study was designed to have 90% power to detect a 70% improvement in median progression-free survival from 5.4 months to 9.2 months. Secondary end points included objective response and clinical benefit rate (response or stable disease for at least 24 weeks). Prophylactic corticosteroid mouth rinses were not used. Results The addition of everolimus to fulvestrant improved the median progression-free survival from 5.1 to 10.3 months (hazard ratio, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.40 to 0.92]; stratified log-rank P = .02), indicating that the primary trial end point was met. Objective response rates were similar (18.2% v 12.3%; P = .47), but the clinical benefit rate was significantly higher in the everolimus arm (63.6% v 41.5%; P = .01). Adverse events of all grades occurred more often in the everolimus arm, including oral mucositis (53% v 12%), fatigue (42% v 22%), rash (38% v 5%), anemia (31% v. 6%), diarrhea (23% v 8%), hyperglycemia (19% v 5%), hypertriglyceridemia (17% v 3%), and pneumonitis (17% v 0%), although grade 3 to 4 events were uncommon. Conclusion Everolimus enhances the efficacy of fulvestrant in AI-resistant, ER-positive 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.

TPS177 Background: Trastuzumab (Tmab) with cisplatin and fluoropyrimidines improved the overall survival (OS) of patients (pts) with HER2 (+) advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Nivolumab (Nivo) is an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody that demonstrated a survival benefit as third line or later of AGC. To date, most trials investigating anti-PD-1 antibody for 1st line treatment focus on HER2 (-) AGC. In HER2(+) breast cancer mouse model, combining Tmab with anti-PD-1 antibody was reported to enhance ADCC activity of Tmab, and show greater tumor regression. In our data, the PD-L1 expression was observed in 44% of tumor cells and 70% of immune cells in human HER2(+) AGC. Based on these data, we have plannedthis phase Ib investigator-initiated trial to investigate the safety and tolerabirity of Nivo plus Tmab and either S-1 or capecitabine (Cape) plus Oxaliplatin (Ox) for pts with HER2(+) AGC. Methods: Histopathologically confirmed HER2(+) AGC with mesurable lesions, aged > 20 years, chemo-naïve pts are enrolled in this study. Pts receive Nivo (360 mg/body; day 1) plus Tmab (course1, 8 mg/kg; course 2 onward, 6 mg/kg; day 1) and either S-1 (40 mg/m2 bid d1-14; cohort 1) or Cape (1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14; cohort 2) plus Ox (130 mg/m2; day 1) every three weeks until desease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the primary part, six pts for each cohort will be assessed for tolerability.To estimate the objective response rate (ORR) in the analysis-set, on our hypothesis that a true response rate is 80%, 20 pts are required for the 90% C.I. to be ± 20%. Therefore the expansion part for each cohort will be 12-15 pts. Primary endpoint is safety. Secondary endpoint is tolerability and exploratory endpoints include ORR, disease control rate, progression free survival and OS. Collaborative biomarker analysis includes whole exome sequences, RNA sequences, gut microbiome, and IHC using biopsy specimens. In addition, T-cell repartry, circulating tumor DNA and exomes will be also analyzed using blood obtained during treatment. This study just has been initiated at four sites in Japan. Clinical trial information: UMIN000034222.

PURPOSE Pyrotinib, an irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor, showed promising antitumor activity and acceptable tolerability in a phase I trial. We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of pyrotinib versus lapatinib, both in combination with capecitabine, in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer in an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Chinese patients with HER2-positive relapsed or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with taxanes, anthracyclines, and/or trastuzumab were assigned (1:1) to receive 400 mg pyrotinib or lapatinib 1,250 mg orally once per day for 21-day cycles in combination with capecitabine (1,000 mg/m2 orally twice per day on days 1 to 14). The primary end point was investigator-assessed overall response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. RESULTS Between May 29, 2015, and March 15, 2016, 128 eligible patients were randomly assigned to the pyrotinib (n = 65) or lapatinib (n = 63) treatment groups. The overall response rate was 78.5% (95% CI, 68.5% to 88.5%) with pyrotinib and 57.1% (95% CI, 44.9% to 69.4%) with lapatinib (treatment difference, 21.3%; 95% CI, 4.0% to 38.7%; P = .01). The median progression-free survival was 18.1 months (95% CI, 13.9 months to not reached) with pyrotinib and 7.0 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 9.8 months) with lapatinib (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.58; P < .001). The most frequent grade 3 to 4 adverse events were hand-foot syndrome in 16 of 65 patients (24.6%) in the pyrotinib group versus 13 of 63 (20.6%) in the lapatinib group; diarrhea in 10 patients (15.4%) versus three patients (4.8%), respectively; and decreased neutrophil count in six patients (9.2%) versus two patients (3.2%), respectively. CONCLUSION In women with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with taxanes, anthracyclines, and/or trastuzumab, pyrotinib plus capecitabine yielded statistically significant better overall response rate and progression-free survival than lapatinib plus capecitabine in this randomized phase II trial.

Her2 Breast Cancer

1020 Background: Trastuzumab-containing regimes have dramatically improved outcome of patients with HER2+ breast cancer. Efforts to improve efficacy and tolerability of combination regimens with this monoclonal antibody are important for patient care. Thus, we conducted a multi-institutional phase II study of a triplet combination in patients eligible to receive either first- or second-line treatment for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: A phase II study designed to test that the true confirmed response rate (CRR) was at most 45% versus a true CRR of at least 65% was done (March 2005-June 2008). This design required that at least 25/45 confirmed responses in evaluable patients for the treatment to be considered promising. Patients received capecitabine 825 mg/m2 po (days 1–14), vinorelbine intravenously (IV) 25 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks and trastuzumab IV 8mg/kg day 1, week 1, and then 6 mg/kg q 3 weeks. Tissue and blood have been collected for future studies on biomarkers. Results: 47 women were accrued, one patient cancelled participation prior to receiving any study drug, and another had a major protocol violation. 45 patients were evaluable and 30 (67%) achieved a confirmed response, (26 patients, 58% had a confirmed partial response and 4 patients, 9% had a confrimed complete response). Median progression free survival was 11.3 months (95% CI 8.4–23.2 months), median overall survival was 27.2 months (95% CI: 26.6-NA months), and among the 30 responders, the median duration of response time was 15.5 months (95% 7.7–26.1 months). The most common grade 3 events include neutropenia 61%, fatigue 13%, skin reaction-hand-foot 11%, and leukopenia 11%. Alopecia was not noted with this regimen. Conclusions: This triplet combination is effective, safe, and is promising in patients with HER2+ MBC. A phase III study should be conducted to compare the best doublet with this triplet combination whether this would lead to better clinical outcomes. [Table: see text]
