e12505 Background: Eribulin mesylate demonstrated a survival benefit in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who previously received 2 or more chemotherapy regimens. There are limited studies reported about the efficacy of eribulin with trastuzumab as first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of eribulin with trastuzumab as late-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Methods: In this multicenter, phase II, single-arm study, patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer who previously received at least one chemotherapeutic regimen, received eribulin at 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously (I.V.) on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle with an initial trastuzumab dose of 8 mg/kg I.V. on day 1, followed by 6 mg/kg of trastuzumab on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. The primary end point was ORR, and secondary end points included PFS and safety. Results: Thirty-six patients (median age: 60.5 years) were enrolled. The median number of prior treatment regimens was 4 (range, 1‐8). Twenty-two patients (61.1%) had received prior pertuzumab treatment, 10 patients (27.8%) had prior T-DM1. Patients received a median of 6 cycles of eribulin with trastuzumab (2-13 cycles). The ORR was 17% (CR 0, PR 6) with median PFS of 4.6 months (3.3-7.0 months). The clinical benefit rate was 33%. The most common Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events were neutropenia in 22 (61%) patients, peripheral neuropathy in 3 (8%; all Grade 3) patients, fatigue in 1 (3%) patients. Five (13.9%) patients had asymptomatic LVEF decline. However, no grade 3 LVEF decline or symptomatic congestive heart failure was observed. The reasons for treatment discontinuation were disease progression in 27 (75%) patients and adverse events in 8 (22%) patients. Conclusions: Eribulin with trastuzumab is an acceptable option in late-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Clinical trial information: 000012350.

e11557 Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer was shown to improve the complete pathologic (pCR) and clinical response (cCR) as well as the disease free survival (DFS). Docetaxel, cisplatin, and trastuzumab given every 21 days in her2-positive breast cancer demonstrated a pCR rate of 23%. The concept of dose dense chemotherapy regimens has attracted much attention and we hypothesized that dose-dense regimen would further improve pCR, cCR and would maintain the safety profile while being a suitable regimen for outpatient administration. Methods: 48 patients with stage II/III HER2-positive breast cancer were prospectively enrolled on a clinical trial of a neoadjuvant regimen consisting of docetaxel 70 mg/m2 on days 1, 15, 29, and 43; carboplatinum at an AUC of 6 on days 1, 15, 29, and 43; trastuzumab 4 mg/kg on day 1 and 2 mg/kg weekly x 10 starting on day 8; peg-filgastrim 6 mg on days 2, 16, 30, and 44. Results: The median age was 50 years (range 30–78). 52% of patients were premenopausal, 63% and 22% were of Hispanic and African descent, respectively. Estrogen receptor was positive in 52% patients and median tumor size was 5 cm at the time of diagnosis. TNM stage distribution at presentation: T1 2%, T2 25%, T3 57%, T4 16%; N0 29%, N1 46%, N2 16%, N3 7%; M0 100%. pCR in breast; axilla; and both breast and axilla was observed in 19 of 44 patients (43.2%; 95% CI 28.3% - 59.0%); in 29 of 44 patients (65.9%; 95% CI 50.1% - 79.5%); and in 16 of 44 patients (36.4%; 95% CI 22.4% - 52.2%), respectively. No grade 4 or 5 toxicity occurred. The most frequent grade 3 toxicities were hand-foot syndrome (7%), neutropenia (4%), nausea/vomiting (2%), and bone pain (2%). Grade 2 cardiotoxicity was seen in 8% of patients and no grade 3 cardiotoxicity was observed. Conclusions: This neoadjuvant regimen was well tolerated and yielded a good pCR rate for this high risk group of patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

602 Background: B in combination with T has showed meaningful activity in patients (pts) with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. AVANTHER is a Phase II trial of preoperative systemic therapy combining B with T and P in a weekly regimen in HER2 positive breast cancer to assess safety and efficacy of the combination. Methods: Pts with centrally-confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or FISH positive) breast cancer (stage II or III including locally advanced) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) with weekly P (80mg/m2/week) for 12 weeks in combination with weekly T (4mg/kg loading dose and 2 mg/kg maintenance) and B (15mg/kg every 3 weeks) for 4 cycles. After surgery all pts received T (1 year) and liposomal doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide every 3 weeks (4 cycles); primary endpoint was rate of pathological complete response (pCR) in breast and axilla. For all patients, a tissue sample at baseline as well as at surgery was collected for biomarker analyses. Results: A total of 44 pts have been enrolled. Median tumor size: 3.9 cm. Seven (19.4%) pts had stage IIA; 17 (47.2%) stage IIB; 8 (22.2%) stage IIIA and 4 (11.1%) stage IIIB. Twenty-one (58.3%) pts had both positive-hormonal receptors and 10 (27.8%) were hormone receptor negative. Eight (22.2%) pts had sentinel biopsy before NC, being negative in 6 (16.7%) cases. Data from surgery (only from 36 pts): pCR was achieved in 16 (44.4%) pts. Safety and tolerability were good, with rare adverse events of grade ≥3 [1 (2.8%) episode of severe hypertension]. Conclusions: These data show that the combination of P with T and B without an anthracycline for 12 weeks is very effective as NC in HER2 positive breast cancer pts with a high rate of pCR and minimal side effects.

532 Background: T-DM1 has demonstrated clinical activity as a single agent in patients (pts) with previously untreated MBC. In a previous phase II randomized trial of T-DM1 vs trastuzumab + docetaxel, T-DM1 had no clinically significant cardiac events, no cases of post-baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%, and fewer grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs; Hurvitz, ESMO 2011). This phase II study assessed the clinical safety and feasibility of T-DM1 following anthracycline-based chemotherapy in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Methods: TDM4874g (NCT01196052) is a phase II single-arm, open-label study of T-DM1 (3.6 mg/kg q3w IV; up to 17 cycles) following completion of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC; q2w or q3w for 4 cycles), or 5-fluorouracil/epirubicin (100 mg/m2)/cyclophosphamide (FEC; q3w for 3-4 cycles) chemotherapy in pts with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Pre-chemotherapy LVEF by MUGA/ECHO ≥55% was required for enrollment. Co-primary endpoints are safety and rate of pre-specified cardiac events following initiation of T-DM1 treatment. An interim analysis was planned for the first 60 pts evaluable for cardiac safety (received ≥1 T-DM1 dose). Results: For pts in the interim analysis (20 received AC, 40 FEC), the most common all-grade T-DM1-related AEs were nausea (n=20), asthenia (n=17), and headache (n=17); 8 pts had grade 3/4 T-DM1-related AEs (including 3 with grade 3 increased aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and/or alanine aminotransferase [ALT]). No deaths occurred. Two pts had AEs leading to T-DM1 discontinuation (grade 3 AST and grade 2 ALT increase; grade 3 thrombocytopenia). No pre-specified cardiac events occurred; no pts delayed or discontinued T-DM1 due to cardiac AEs; there were no reports of grade ≥2 left ventricular systolic dysfunction, heart failure, or LVEF <50%. Results will be updated with data from all 153 enrolled pts. Conclusions: T-DM1 following anthracycline-based chemotherapy was not associated with cardiac toxicity in pts with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer; this study continues without modification.
