1057 Background: Approximately 50% of HER2+ breast cancers are HR+ (defined as estrogen receptor [ER] and/or progesterone receptor [PR] positive). Cross talk between growth factor and ER-dependent signaling pathways may affect growth regulation in HER2+ breast cancers. Blockade of both pathways appears to be more active than blocking either alone based on randomized trials performed in selected populations. However, the outcomes of HER2+ and HR+ MBC patients relative to those in real- life clinical practice have not been evaluated in large cohort studies. Methods: registHER is a prospective observational study of 1023 patients with newly diagnosed (within 6 months [mo]) HER2+ MBC treated in community/academic settings, enrolled from 12/03 to 2/06. Median follow-up from MBC diagnosis was 25 mo at data cutoff (1/02/08). Treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with HER2+/HR+ MBC receiving 1st-line therapy (i.e., therapies received prior to 1st progression) are described in this analysis. Results: Of the 963 (94%) treated HER2+ patients with recorded HR tumor status, 55% (533) were HR+ and 45% (430) were HR-negative. 1st-line MBC treatment regimens for HER2+/HR+ patients included endocrine therapy (E) only, 57 (10.7%); E + trastuzumab (T), 50 (9.4%); chemotherapy (C) ± E, 41 (7.7%); and C + trastuzumab (T) ± E, 361 (67.7%). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by 1st line treatment groups are in the table. Conclusions: In registHER, HER2+/HR+ patients treated with E+T had longer PFS than patients treated with E alone; E- alone median PFS is consistent with findings in prospective randomized trials. These data provide further information regarding trastuzumab's role in targeting dual pathways in HER2+/HR+ MBC patients in a real-world setting. Multivariate analysis to address potential bias from known prognostic factors that may influence treatment choice will be presented. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

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).

1040 Background: Metaanalyses have demonstrated that 5% of initially HER2 negative breast cancer patients switch to HER2 positive during the course of the disease. Whether there is a difference in benefit from standard HER2 targeted therapies between patients initially HER2 positive and patients switching from negative to positive is unclear. We used data from the PRAEGNANT registry to compare the outcome of those patients. Methods: PRAEGNANT is a prospective advanced breast cancer registry (NCT02338167) focusing on molecular biomarkers. Patients in all therapy lines receiving any kind of treatment are eligible. This analysis compared progression-free survival (PFS) with standard HER2 targeted therapies between patients with tumors initially HER2 negative and switched to HER2 positive and patients with tumors that were initially HER2 positive adjusted for age and hormone receptor status. Results: At the time of this analysis 4061 patients with MBC were included in the PRAEGNANT registry, 49 of which met the requirements for this analysis. Median age was 56 (IQR 48-64) years and 87.8% of the patients were hormone receptor positive. At first diagnosis 15 patients were HER2 negative and 34 patients were HER2 positive. Within a median observation time of 9 months (95%CI: 3.8, 23.7) 35 PFS events occurred. Median observation time was 9 months (95% CI: 3.8, 23.7). Initially HER2 positive patients had a longer progression-free survival (HR = 0.49, 95% CI (0.24, 1.03), p = 0.07) as compared to initially HER2 negative patients switched to HER2 positive. The 1- and 2-year-PFS rates were also higher for patients initially HER2 positive: 1-year-PFS: 52% (95% CI: 36%, 73%) versus 26 % (95% CI: 12%, 52%); 2-year-PFS: 44% (95% CI: 29%, 67%) versus 19% (95% CI: 7%, 50%). Conclusions: Median PFS and 1- and 2-year PFS rate seem to be better in patients HER2 positive at initial diagnosis receiving standard HER2 directed therapies. Although our result has to be interpreted with caution because of the small cohort and the retrospective nature of our analysis, it justifies prospective research including the group of initially HER2 negative patients switched to HER2 positive as a distinct entity.

BackgroundThe presence of anti-HER2 agents, such as trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), significantly improved the prognosis of metastatic HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers (BC). However, drug resistance and disease progression are still common. In order to further improve the treatment efficacy, new clinical trials about anti-HER2 agents in combination with chemotherapy are growing rapidly. We conducted the network meta-analysis to synthesize evidences of clinical trials to identify the best therapy for metastatic HER2+ BC.MethodsA systematic search of randomized controlled trials regarding anti-HER2 agents in combination with chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic breast cancers up to May 2020 was conducted in Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety. Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the results and rank the therapies.ResultsTwenty-six studies, including 16 studies for first-line treatments and 10 studies for second- or later-line treatments were included in the network meta-analysis. For first-line studies, the THP (taxanes + trastuzumab + pertuzumab) regimen exhibited the highest probability to be the optimal treatment in all efficacy outcomes and moderate safety. For second- or later-line studies, the T-DM1 and XHTuC (capecitabine + trastuzumab + tucatinib) regimens ranked top two in all efficacy outcomes according to the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) results. T-DM1 ranked first in PFS and OS whereas XHTuC ranked first in ORR. The safety outcomes of T-DM1 and XHTuC were acceptable.ConclusionsTHP was still the optimal first-line treatment for metastatic HER2+ BC. T-DM1 and XHTuC were recommended for second-line treatments.Systematic Review RegistrationINPLASY.com, identifier (INPLASY202090086).

e11561 Background: Trastuzumab and lapatinib show complementary and non-cross resistant mechanisms of anti-HER2 action. Dual HER2 blockade has been preclinically and clinically assessed with encouraging results. Trastuzumab and lapatinib combination is effective in terms of survival in patients with heavily pretreated HER2-positive mBC. We aim to report our experience with lapatinib plus trastuzumab in this setting. Methods: Descriptive retrospective study of trastuzumab plus lapatinib activity in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer treated in two institutions from 01/2007 to 12/2012. The objective of this analysis is to report the response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity. Results: 23 HER2-positive mBC patients previously treated with trastuzumab received trastuzumab plus lapatinib based therapy. 15 patients (65%) received 2 or more previous lines. 17 patients (74%) had visceral disease. Chemotherapy (CT) was added to the dual HER2 blockade treatment in 13 patients (56%) whereas hormonotherapy (HT) was added in 8 patients (35%) and 2 patients (9%) received lapatinib plus trastuzumab without any other agent. Chemotherapeutic drugs most used were: capecitabine (54%) and vinorelbine (15%). RR: partial response 22% (5/23), stable disease 39% (9/23). Median of follow-up was 11 months. PFS in the overall population was 4 months. PFS in patients with CT was 5 months, while PFS in patients with HT was only 2. PFS in hormone receptor positive and negative was 3 and 5 months respectively. The most common toxicities were: diarrhea (48%), anemia (39%), asthenia (39%) and hand-and-foot syndrome (17%). Grade ≥ 3 toxicity was diarrhea (26%) and hand-and-foot syndrome (9%). The incidence of cardiotoxicity was 9% (grade 2). Conclusions: These findings suggest that dual HER2 blockade in combination with CT is feasible and active in heavily pretreated HER2-positive mBC patients. However, further investigation is warranted to demonstrate superiority over sequential blockade with trastuzumab and lapatinib in this setting.

e12522 Background: To present treatment patterns and the outcome of pure endocrine therapy fulvestrant (FUL) versus Exemestane (EXE)and target therapy everolimus (EVE) combination among hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) after progression on aromatase inhibitor (AI) in the real-life setting. Methods: Patients with HR+/HER2- MBC after AI who received FUL or EVE-EXE between June 2013 and June 2016 were identified from electronic database. Outcome measures included progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety profile. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize potential confounders. Results: Among the 168 patients included, 124 patients received FUL and 44 patients treated with EVE-EXE. Patients that received EVE-EXE were significantly younger, more likely to have visceral, liver, multiple sites of metastases and had received more prior chemotherapy than FUL group. There was no significant difference in PFS after adjusted for propensity score between two groups (HR,1.173; 95%CI, 0.797-1.727; p = 0.419). In subgroup analysis, treatment effects were consistent across predefined subgroups except for the subgroup of multiple metastatic sites which the median PFS was significantly longer in EVE-EXE group than in FUL group (6.1vs3.2months, respectively; HR = 0.508;95%CI,0.299-0.862; p = 0.012). The toxicity of FUL regimen was more manageable. More patients discontinued the treatment due to intolerable toxicity in EVE-EXE group than FUL group. Conclusions: We observed substantial changes in treatment patterns in patients received EVE-EXE and FUL. Treatment outcomes were comparable between two schedules after adjusted for confounding factors, while FUL has been better tolerated. Clinical trial information: NCT03695341.

2527 Background: Isolated central nervous system (CNS) progression on first-line systemic therapy with Trastuzumab (T) and Pertuzumab (P) for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a therapeutic challenge. Our aim was to describe the clinical outcome and current treatment strategies for such patients in a large retrospective cohort. Methods: Patients (pts) were selected among all MBC pts included in the French Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) database involving 18 specialized cancer centers (NCT03275311). CNS progression-free survival (CNS-PFS), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from diagnostic of brain metastases (BM) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Between January 2008 and December 2016, 995 pts were treated with first-line T and P for their HER2-positive MBC. They were 55 years old in median, with tumors expressing hormone-receptors in 62%. A total of 132 pts (13%) experienced isolated CNS progression on T and P, with a median time from metastatic diagnosis to CNS progression of 12 months. It was the first CNS progression for 108 pts (82%) while 24 (18%) already had BM at time of metastatic relapse. After CNS progression, T and P were continued for 58% of pts (n = 73). The remaining 47 pts were switched to another HER2-directed therapy (T-DM1 for 57%, T alone or combined with chemotherapy for 36% and lapatinib for 21%). Among those 132 pts, 37% received whole-brain radiotherapy, 18% stereotactic radiation therapy, and 11% surgery. Systemic treatment was combined with CNS-directed therapy for 50% of pts. Median follow-up is 21 months (95%CI: 14.9-25.5) from the diagnosis of CNS metastases. Median OS (mOS) of the 132 pts is 35 months (95%CI: 29.2-53,6), and median PFS 7 months (95%CI: 6.3- 9.2). A total of 77 pts (58.3%) experienced a new CNS progression with a median CNS-PFS of 9 months (95%CI: 7.6-12,0). Patient who stayed on T and P had a significantly better OS in comparison to pts who were switched to another systemic HER2-directed therapy (mOS not evaluable vs23 months), whereas PFS and CNS-PFS were similar between groups. Conclusions: In this real life setting, isolated CNS progression occurred among 13% of pts with HER2+ MBC on first-line treatment with T and P, after a median time of 12 months. Following current ASCO recommendations, continuation of T and P after CNS-directed therapy, seemed to be adequate. Nevertheless, time to subsequent progression is short and better therapeutic options are needed.

Background: Bone-only (BO) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is considered a more favorable entity than other MBC presentations. However, only few retrospective series and data from selected randomized controlled trials have been reported so far. Methods: Using the French national multicenter ESME (Epidemiological Strategy and Medico Economics) Data Platform, the primary objective of our study was to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with BO versus non-BO MBC at diagnosis, with adjustment on main prognostic factors using a propensity score. Secondary objectives were to compare first-line progression-free survival (PFS1), describe treatment patterns, and estimate factors associated with OS. Results: Out of 20,095 eligible women, 5041 (22.4%) patients had BO disease [hormone-receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth-factor-receptor-2 negative (HER2−), n = 4 102/13,229 (31%); HER2+, n = 644/3909 (16.5%); HR−/HER2−, n = 295/2 957 (10%)]. BO MBC patients had a better adjusted OS compared with non-BO MBC [52.1 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 50.3–54.1) versus 34.7 months (95% CI 34.0–35.6) respectively]. The 5-year OS rate of BO MBC patients was 43.4% (95% CI 41.7–45.2). They also had a better PFS1 [13.1 months (95% CI 12.6–13.8) versus 8.5 months (95% CI 8.3–8.7), respectively]. This observation could be repeated in all subtypes. BO disease was an independent prognostic factor of OS [hazard ratio 0.68 (95% CI 0.65–0.72), p < 0.0001]. Results were concordant in all analyses. Conclusion: BO MBC patients have better outcomes compared with non-BO MBC, consistently, through all MBC subtypes.

3561 Background: Somatic profiling of MBC has highlighted actionable mutations and driven trials of matched targeted therapy (tx). Previous phase I studies have reported improved outcomes following matched therapies with tumour molecular profiles. Here, we review next generation sequencing (NGS) and treatment outcomes of Asian MBC patients (pts) in the phase I unit of a tertiary centre. Methods: Pts with MBC referred to a phase I unit underwent NGS (n = 152). Tumour tissue was sequenced via the amplicon based Ion Ampliseq Cancer (IAC) v2 (50 genes) platform from 2014-2017 prior to institutional change to Foundation Medicine 1 (FM1) (324 genes) 2017-2019. Patients were counselled on findings and enrolled onto matched therapeutic trials where available. Results: NGS was successfully performed in 107 pts (IAC 46%, FM1 54%) of which tumour subtypes include hormone receptor positive 63%, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) 28% and Her2 positive 19%. Median lines of prior tx for MBC was 4 (range 0-12). 89% had prior chemotherapy (CT), 57% prior endocrine therapy (ET). 72/107 (67%) sequenced patients had further treatment and 18 (25%) were matched to tx based on NGS findings (15 clinical trial, 3 off trial). Matching rates on both NGS platforms were similar (IAC 22% vs FM1 28%). Mutated pathways with potential matched tx included PIK3CA/AKT/PTEN (52%), DNA damage response (DRR) (15%), and FGFR (11%) pathways. PIK3 mutations were seen in 43% and associated with higher number of metastatic sites (p = 0.03); most prevalent aberrations were PIK3CA H1047R (41%) and PIK3CA E542K (13%). Matched cases were more heavily pretreated (mean lines of prior tx 5.3 matched vs 3.7, unmatched p = 0.05), and showed a median progression free survival (mPFS) of 24 weeks [w] and clinical benefit rate (complete/partial response or stable disease ≥ 12 weeks) of 53% on matched tx. Comparison by NGS platform showed improved mPFS for matched vs unmatched pts sequenced on FM1 vs IAC (FM1: 26 vs 19w, HR = 0.76 [95% CI: 0.3-1.9]; IAC: 8 vs 12w; HR = 1.21 [95% CI: 0.5-2.8]). Interestingly, 1 pt with SMARCB mutation, reportedly associated with the FGFR pathway, had a PFS of 70w on tx with a pan-FGFR inhibitor after progressing on 3 prior lines of tx (ET and CT). Conclusions: Molecular profiling of MBC in a phase I unit led to matched tx in 25% of cases. Matched pts showed encouraging mPFS with a suggestion of benefit in those matched after sequencing on a broader gene panel (FM1).

21007 Background: Approximately 50% of HER2+ breast cancers are HR+, however, the interaction between HER2 and HR is not completely understood. Patients with HR+/HER2+ or HR-/HER2+ tumors treated with trastuzumab + chemotherapy (CT) achieve similar clinical benefit. Retrospective analyses suggest that HER2+ tumors are resistant to hormone therapy (HT), particularly anti-estrogens, possibly due to estrogen receptor /HER2 interactions and quantitatively lower HR expression in HER2+/HR+ tumors. Conducting randomized clinical trials in HER2+/HR+ MBC is challenging given the small patient population. Methods: registHER is a prospective observational study of approximately 1000 patients with newly diagnosed (<6 months) HER2+ MBC treated in community or academic settings. Baseline characteristics and treatment patterns in patients with HR+ vs HR-, HER2+ MBC receiving first-line therapy were studied in this analysis. The influence of adjuvant HT on disease-free intervals (DFI) from time of diagnosis and MBC treatment selection in patients with HR+/HER2+ tumors was examined. Results: Of 976 patients with HER2+ MBC and recorded tumor HR status, those with HR+ MBC (54.9%) tended to be white (81.7% vs 77.0%), were more likely to have bone only metastases (18.1% vs 6.4%), less likely to have CNS metastases (2.8% vs 8.2%), and have fewer metastatic sites at diagnosis (49.1% vs 43.2%) than those with HR- MBC. Of patients with HR+ MBC, who were stage I- III at initial diagnosis, 51.3% received adjuvant HT, of which 73.2% received tamoxifen. Median DFI was 48.8 vs 29.4 mo for patients receiving tamoxifen vs an aromatase inhibitor. First-line MBC treatment regimens included: HT only (13.8%); HT + trastuzumab (8.4%); HT + trastuzumab + CT (6.2%); trastuzumab only (6.0%); CT only (11.0%); trastuzumab + CT (53.5%). Analyses of progression-free survival by HR status and first-line treatments (HT only, trastuzumab ± HT or ± CT), are ongoing and will be described. Conclusions: registHER represents the largest dataset of patients with HER2+/HR+ MBC and provides a unique opportunity to characterize treatment patterns, efficacy and safety, and the natural history of this subset of breast cancer patients.
