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.

e11577 Background: The anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib have complementary mechanisms of action and synergistic antitumour activity in models of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer.In heavily pre-treated pts, L+T is associated with improved outcomes compared to L alone and significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), offering a chemotherapy-free option for patients with heavily pretreated human epidermal growth factor. (Kimberly L et al, 2012 JCO). Methods: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of L+T in patients with 1-4 prior (Median 3) lines of chemotherapy (CT) for HER2+ MBC.: 20 Pts with measurable, HER2+ MBC were eligible. Pts received every 3 weeks T (8 mg/kg loading then 6 mg/Kg) and daily L 1000 mg. Results: The characteristic of the all of pts included (20) are: median age 51.4 (32-68) Total number of cycles administered was 141. The median cycles administered per pts was 6 (range 1-18). Median follow-up was 6 months. Of the 18 pts with response assessment, the clinical benefit obtained was: 76,1% (5,9% PR + and 70,6% disease stabilization) with 95% CI 71.3%-80.9%. Disease progression was 17,6%. Of the 20 pts with a median follow up of 13,32 m (3-32), median PFS for these pts was 6 m. The one year OS % was 64,70% (56,7-72,7). All pts had received al least one line lapatinib prior (1-3). Toxicity was generally manageable. No major cardiac dysfunctions ocurred. Grade 3/4 treatment-related toxicities were uncommon (grade 3 diarrhea, 18%; grade 3 hepatic 7%. All others < 3 %). Conclusions: L+T is an active regimen in HER2+ MBC. L+T showed high clinical benefit with manageable safety profile. Dual inhibition of HER2 might be a valid approach to treatment of Her-2 positive metastatic breast cancer.

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.

142 Background: Prognosis of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has been dramatically improved by trastuzumab (Tmab). More recently, newer anti-HER2 agents such as lapatinib, pertuzumab and T-DM1 have prolonged survival. Despite the efficacy of these drugs, most patients develop progressive disease during or after treatment, and alternative anti-HER2 agents plus chemotherapies are required in subsequent lines of treatment. However, there are few evidence on efficacy of Tmab-containing regimens after disease progression. Gemcitabine (GEM) is non-cross resistant to anthracycline and taxane. Preclinical studies have shown that the combination of Tmab and GEM has synergistic effect against HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines. SBP-01 study assessed the efficacy and safety of the combination of Tamb and GEM in patients with HER2-positive MBC previously treated with anti-HER2 therapy. Methods: SBP-01 study included patients treated with one or more anti-HER2 directed regimens for MBC. Patients were administered with GEM 1250 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle and Tmab 4mg/kg loading dose and then 2mg/kg weekly. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression free survival (PFS), overall survival, and safety. Results: Between June 2011 and June 2014, 35 patients were enrolled. Patients had ER positive tumor (37.1%), a median of 2 metastatic organ sites, visceral metastasis (80.0%), prior (neo) adjuvant Tmab (22.9%) and a median of 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for MBC. Previous HER2-directed drugs included Tmab (94.3%), lapatinib (37.1%), T-DM1 (8.6%) and pertuzumab (2.9%). ORR was 22.9% (95% CI, 8.6%-36.8%). Median PFS was 146 days. Patients with stable disease response received a median of 7 cycles (6-28 cycles) of treatment. Grade3/4 leukopenia (20.0%) and neutropenia (48.6%) were observed. All non-hematological toxicities were less than grade3. Conclusions: The Combination Tmab and GEM is effective and well-tolerated regimen for patients previously treated with HER2-directed therapy, and appears to make disease stable for long time period.

Background: The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy (ET) has proven to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) in women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Few data are available regarding the efficacy of such a regimen outside the clinical trials. Patients and methods: This is a multicentre prospective real-world experience aimed at verifying the outcome of palbociclib plus ET in an unselected population of MBC patients. The primary aim was the clinical benefit rate (CBR); secondary aims were the median PFS, overall survival (OS) and safety. Patients received palbociclib plus letrozole 2.5 mg (cohort A) or fulvestrant 500 mg (cohort B). Results: In total, 191 patients (92 in cohort A, 99 in cohort B) were enrolled and treated, and 182 were evaluable for the analysis. Median age was 62 years (range 47–79); 54% had visceral involvement; 28% of patients had previously performed one treatment line (including chemotherapy and ET), 22.6% two lines and 15.9% three. An overall response rate of 34.6% was observed with 11 (6.0%) complete responses and 52 (28.6%) partial responses. Stable disease was achieved by 78 patients (42.9%) with an overall CBR of 59.8%. At a median follow-up of 24 months (range 6–32), median PFS was 13 months without significant differences between the cohorts. When analysed according to treatment line, PFS values were significantly prolonged when palbociclib-based therapy was administered as first-line treatment (14.0 months), to decrease progressively in second and subsequent lines (11.7 and 6.7 months, respectively). Median OS was 25 months, ranging from 28.0 months in 1st line to 18.0 and 13.0 months in 2nd and subsequent lines, respectively. Conclusions: Our data indicate that palbociclib plus ET is active and safe in HR+/HER2− MBC, also suggesting a better performance of the combinations in earlier treatment lines.

Purpose In this study, two doses of temsirolimus (CCI-779), a novel inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin, were evaluated for efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had been heavily pretreated. Patients and Methods Patients (n = 109) were randomly assigned to receive 75 or 250 mg of temsirolimus weekly as a 30-minute intravenous infusion. Patients were evaluated for tumor response, time to tumor progression, adverse events, and pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus. Results Temsirolimus produced an objective response rate of 9.2% (10 partial responses) in the intent-to-treat population. Median time to tumor progression was 12.0 weeks. Efficacy was similar for both dose levels but toxicity was more common with the higher dose level, especially grade 3 or 4 depression (10% of patients at the 250-mg dose level, 0% at the 75-mg dose level). The most common temsirolimus-related adverse events of all grades were mucositis (70%), maculopapular rash (51%), and nausea (43%). The most common, clinically important grade 3 or 4 adverse events were mucositis (9%), leukopenia (7%), hyperglycemia (7%), somnolence (6%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and depression (5%). Conclusion In heavily pretreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, 75 and 250 mg temsirolimus showed antitumor activity and 75 mg temsirolimus showed a generally tolerable safety profile.

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).
