The Impact

629 Background: Currently, no biomarkers of trastuzumab (T) clinical resistance have been validated. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the impact of PIK3CA mutations and p95HER2 (pHER2 truncated form) expression on the efficacy of a T based-therapy in a HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts). Methods: 107 HER2-positive MBC pts, treated in the last 10 years, were evaluated. Median age was 54 years (25-79); ECOG performance status was 0 in 56% of pts; all pts received several lines of treatment including T; biomarkers molecular analysis was performed in 70 tumor specimens. The IHC expression of p95HER2 was evaluated by a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes only the HER2 external domain; the HER2 integrity was defined by the presence of a homogeneous membrane staining (moderate or intense) in at least 30% of the cells, otherwise the HER2 was defined as p95HER2 positive. PIK3CA mutations in exons 9 and 20 were detected by automated sequencing. The molecular data were correlated to Time to progression (TTP) of the first line treatment including T and the Overall Survival (OS) by using the Kaplan-Meir method and the log-rank-test. Results: p95HER2 positive pts and PIK3CA mutations in exon 9 or 20 were detected in 42% and 22% of tumor specimens, respectively. p95HER2 positive tumors showed a shorter TTP and OS that did not reach statistical significance; PIK3CA mutations correlated with a worse TTP (median 7,6 vs 11,3 months) and OS (median 20,1 vs 41,0 months, p= 0,046). Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest a possible role of PIK3CA mutational status in predicting the outcome of MBC pts treated with T.

The Impact

1061 Background: For anthracycline-naïve metastatic breast cancer (AN-MBC) patients, past evidence indicated that anthracyclines are beneficial in the first-two lines of palliative chemotherapy but with considerable toxicities. However, with the provision of newer chemotherapies, comparative studies addressing the efficacy between anthracyclines and non-anthracyclines in the first-two lines of palliative chemotherapy for AN-MBC were lacking. Methods: We collectedclinicopathological characteristics of AN-MBC patients who had received palliative chemotherapy in National Taiwan University Hospital between 2001 and 2006. Patients were classified as anthracycline or non-anthracycline group according to the first-two lines of chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for the estimation and comparison of both overall survival (OS) and time to treatment failure of the first-two lines (TTF2).Cox proportional hazard model was used for OS and TTF2. Best composite response rate (BCRR) were compared with logistic regression test. Results: A total of 109 (43.1%) patients in the anthracycline group and 144 (56.9%) patients in non-anthracycline group were analyzed. Between these two groups, the distributions of clinicopathological variables were generally similar and their median OS (33.3 vs 34.2 months, p = 0.179), TTF2 (13.3 vs 12.7 months, p = 0.104), and BCRR (59.5 vs 61.1%, p = 0.81) were not significantly different. Subgroup analysis showed that patients in the anthracycline group had a trend toward better OS in the estrogen receptor (ER) negative/ human epidermal growth factor receptor type II (HER2) positive subtype (median OS 58.0 vs 31.2 months, p = 0.081). In multivariate analysis, patients in the anthracycline group had a trend toward better OS (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.52 - 1.00, p = 0.052). However, the exclusion of ER-/Her2+ subtype attenuated the impact of early anthracycline treatment on OS (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.56 - 1.18, p = 0.28). Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that anthracyclines may not be mandatory in the first-two lines of palliative chemotherapy for AN-MBC but may be more beneficial to ER-/Her2+ subtype patients.

A randomized clinical trial was performed to determine if combination hormonal therapy with tamoxifen (TAM) and fluoxymesterone (FLU) was more efficacious than TAM alone for the treatment of postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer. Patients failing TAM could subsequently receive FLU. The dose of both drugs was 10 mg orally twice daily. Objective responses were seen in 50 of 119 TAM patients (42%) and 63 of 119 TAM plus FLU patients (53%) (one-sided P = .05). Time to disease progression distributions were better for TAM plus FLU (median, 350 days v 199 days), but the log rank test only approached statistical significance (one-sided P = .07). Duration of response and survival distributions were similar between the two treatment arms. Toxicities, in terms of androgenic side effects, were greater on the TAM plus FLU regimen. Fifty-two patients are evaluable for response with FLU following TAM and 21 (40%) have achieved a response. We conclude that the advantages in terms of response rate and time to progression observed with TAM plus FLU probably represent a biological effect, but are not of sufficient magnitude to justify the routine clinical use of this combination given the lack of survival advantage and side effects encountered.

614 Background: HER2 status of primary breast cancer (PBC) is routinely used to determine systemic treatment for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. Discordance rates of HER2 status between PBC and MBC range from 5.5% to 29% based on published meta-analyses. The clinical benefit of re-assessing HER2 in MBC tissues remains controversial. In this study, we measured quantitative HER2 expression in matched PBC and MBC tissues and correlated changes of HER2 with mutations in the catalytic domain of PI3 kinase(PIK3CA). Methods: Total HER2 protein expression (H2T) was quantified by the HERmark assay in 41 matched PBC and MBC formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens. PIK3CA mutation status in exons 9 (E545K and E542K) and 20 (H1047R) was determined using a validated pyrosequencing assay. Results: MBC samples included 5 lymph node, 13 viscera, 6 brain, and 17 soft tissue lesions (N=41). 27 (66%) cases showed higher H2T in MBC than in matched PBC; and 14 (34%) cases had higher H2T in PBC than in matched MBC, indicating an overall increase of H2T in matched MBC lesions (fold change 0.25-17.57; p=0.005, paired Wilcoxon rank sum test). HER2 positive conversion (HERmark negative/equivocal in PBC, but positive in matched MBC) was found in 6 (15%) cases, while HER2 negative conversion (HERmark positive in PBC, but negative/equivocal in matched MBC) was seen in 2 (5%) cases. HER2 status was unchanged in 33 (80%) cases. PIK3CA mutations were detected in 13 (32%) of PBC and 19 (46%) of MBC samples. Among the HER2 positive conversion cases, PIK3CA mutation was identified in 50% (3/6) PBC and 67% (4/6) MBC, compared to 0% (0/2, PBC or MBC) in the HER2 negative conversion cases. Among cases with unchanged HER2 status, PIK3CA mutation was observed in 30% (10/33) PBC and 42% (14/33) MBC. Conclusions: Quantitative HER2 assessment revealed a 20% discordance in HER2 status between matched PBC and MBC tissues, with more frequent conversion from low HER2 in PBC to high HER2 in MBC. PIK3CA mutation was observed more frequently in patients who converted from HER2 negative PBC to HER2 positive MBC. These results suggest that re-assessment of biomarkers in MBC tissues may better inform the selection of therapeutic options for patients with MBC.

Abstract   BACKGROUND: There are different data in the literature about the consequences of the development of metastasis as de novo or recurrent. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the clinicopathologic and prognostic characteristics of HER-2 positive de novo and recurrent metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The data of patients admitted to our clinic between 1996-2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The baseline features, treatments and survival data were recorded. Recurrent metastatic patients were further categorized as disease free interval (DFI) <24 months and DFI >24 months. The features of two groups were analyzed by pearson chi-square test. Survival were calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method with the Long-rank test. p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients were included to study in which 20 patients in de novo HER-2 positive MBC group and 24 patients in recurrent HER-2 MBC group. There was no difference in baseline features between groups. The median OS in de novo and recurrent MBC group was 60.3 months and 43.9 months respectively (HR: 0.87, 95% CI 0.37-2.05, p=0.76). OS was not different between de novo MBC group and patients with DFI <24 months and with DFI > 24 months (p=0.135). CONCLUSION: Our study showed that baseline features of patients with de novo HER-2 positive MBC and recurrent HER-2 positive MBC did not differ from each other. The presence of metastasis at the time of diagnosis or during follow-up did not change response to treatments.

TPS1101 Background: MEN1611 is a potent, selective class I inhibitor of PI3K, a key enzyme in the transduction of various extracellular growth factor signals essential for cell survival and apoptosis. The discovery in human cancers of frequent PIK3CA mutations, that have been linked to a worse outcome in advanced HER2-positive breast cancer, makes PI3K an attractive therapeutic target. Preclinical and clinical evidences support the development of MEN1611 in combination with other agents in the context of solid tumors. Methods: B-PRECISE-01 is an open-label, multicenter, phase Ib dose escalation study in patients with PIK3CA mutant tumors, HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer which has progressed after at least 2 lines of anti-HER2 based therapy. PIK3CA mutations are assessed centrally by real-time PCR assay in DNA derived from archived tumor samples. MEN1611 will be administered orally BID for continuous 28-day cycles until disease progression, in combination with weekly IV infusions of trastuzumab. In addition, HR-positive postmenopausal patients will also be treated with fulvestrant. After the completion of the dose escalation phase (Step 1), the study will continue in an expansion cohort (Step 2) testing the Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in a total of 15 patients in each of the treatment groups. The primary study objective is to assess combination safety and select RP2D. Secondary objectives include assessment of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, preliminary clinical activity of MEN1611 in combination with trastuzumab +/- fulvestrant, and correlation with PIK3CA mutations and other relevant cancer genes mutational status. Adverse events will be graded according to NCI CTCAE v4.03. Responses will be evaluated according to RECIST v1.1. Study variables will be presented by dose-cohort and overall using appropriate descriptive statistics. The enrollment began in July 2018 at European sites and US sites will shortly participate; up to date the first dose cohort level has been achieved. Clinical trial information: NCT03767335.

Objective: Pyrotinib, a novel oral irreversible dual pan-ErbB tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been approved in China for the treatment of HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study aimed to perform a population pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis of pyrotinib and to evaluate the impact of certain HER2-positive breast cancer patient characteristics on pyrotinib's PK. Method: A total of 1152 samples, provided by 59 adult female patients from two phase I clinical trials, were analyzed by nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to assess the impact of covariates following exposure to pyrotinib. Results: The PK of pyrotinib was adequately described by a one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination. Patient's age and total protein levels can affect pyrotinib's apparent volume of distribution, and concomitant use of montmorillonite powder had significant effects on the bioavailability of pyrotinib. No PK interactions were observed between capecitabine and pyrotinib. Conclusion: In this study, a population PK model of pyrotinib was developed to determine the influence of patient characteristics on the PK of pyrotinib. While patient age and total protein levels can significantly affect the apparent distribution volume of pyrotinib, the magnitude of the impact was limited, thus no dosage adjustment was recommended. Furthermore, concomitant use of montmorillonite powder for diarrhea can decrease the bioavailability of pyrotinib by 50.3%.

Abstract Background: The impact of loco-regional treatment (LRT) with radiotherapy (RT) in patients presenting with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has not been widely studied. The aim of this study was to review the treatment outcomes of LRT including RT in patients with MBC. Materials and methods: Patients who presented with MBC were included in this retrospective study. Analysis was undertaken to determine the difference in local disease control, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with systemic treatment alone, surgery alone, surgery plus RT and RT alone with long-rank test. Multivariate analysis was done, using the cox regression for factors affecting PFS and OS. Results: From 2007 to 2014, data of 257 patients with MBC were collected. Totally, 185 patients received LRT and 72 did not. LRT was surgery plus RT, surgery only and RT only in 113, 47 and 25 patients, respectively. Cytotoxic chemotherapy and hormone therapy were received by 205 and 166 patients, respectively. Median follow-up was 36 months (6–120 months). PFS and OS at 3 years with and without LRT were 31% versus 6% (p < 0·001) and 41% versus 17% (p < 0·001), respectively. PFS at 3 years with surgery plus RT, RT alone and surgery was 40, 33 and 6%, respectively. OS at 3 years with surgery plus RT, RT alone and surgery was 50, 38 and 17%, respectively. Patients without LRT had worse PFS and OS, 6 and 17%, respectively. RT had significant impact on PFS and OS along with chemotherapy and hormone treatment. Conclusion: In patients with MBC, improved local control, PFS and OS were achieved with loco-regional RT. Loco-regional RT along with chemotherapy and hormones were significant factors for PFS and OS irrespective of surgery.

634 Background: Trastuzumab is well tolerated without major side effects except for cardiac toxicity. Although a number of clinical parameters have been associated with trastuzumab-associated cardiac toxicity (TACT), there is some indication that genetic variation of the HER2 gene may play a toxic role in a population of metastatic breast cancer patients. However, this finding needs confirmation and we looked at a population of non-metastatic breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the association between cardiac toxicity and HER2 [Ile655Val] polymorphism in non-metastatic breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. Methods: The Ile655Val HER2 polymorphism was assessed in 73 women using TaqMan technology. For this study, the genotyping was performed using DNA extracted from normal breast tissue located at more than 1 cm of any other lesions. Charts review was used to collect information on TACT which was defined as any decline in LVEF > 10 % from the baseline to < 55 % or a decline in LVEF > 5 % to < 50 % (lower limit of normal). The Fisher exact test was used to evaluate the association between cardiac toxicity and HER2 polymorphism. Results: No deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium has been observed for the allele and genotype frequencies. The distribution of HER2 polymorphism was 3 Val/Val (4%), 18 Ile/Val (25%) and 52 Ile/Ile (71%). In this population, 19% (14/73) developed a cardiac toxicity. We found that 29% (6/21) of Ile/Val or Val/Val carriers compared to 15% (8/52) of Ile/Ile carriers showed TACT, but this association did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.21). Conclusions: HER2 Ile655Val polymorphism may be an efficient marker of TACT considering this tendency with this small cohort of patients. Larger sample is needed to strengthen this conclusion, since this result may influence on prescribing decision for adjuvant chemotherapy and anti-HER2 therapy in HER2 positive patients.
