1035 Background: Cross-signaling in the ErbB family is an important mechanism in Trastuzumab resistance. Pyrotinib is an irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor targeting EGFR/HER1, HER2 and HER4, which may offer the potential for improved efficacy to block HER2 signaling in trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer. This phase I study assessed the safety, tolerability, maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, antitumor activity and predictive biomarkers of pyrotinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: Patients received oral pyrotinib 160 mg, 240 mg, 320 mg, or 400 mg once daily continually plus capecitabine 1000mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle. Pharmacokinetic blood samples were collected predose on day 1 and day 14 of treatment. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to probe for predictive biomarkers of this combination. Results: A total of 28 patients were enrolled. All 28 (100%) patients experienced at least one treatment-related Adverse Events (AE), which were predominantly grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 treatment-related AE occurred in 12 (42.9%) patients; anemia (14.3%) and diarrhea (10.7%) were the most common grade 3 AEs. Three (10.7%) patients discontinued capecitabine administration due to AEs. The overall response rate (ORR) was 78.6% (95% CI: 59.0% to 91.7%), and the disease control rate (complete response+ partial response+ stable disease) was 96.4% (95% CI: 81.7% to 99.9%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 22.1 months (95% CI: 9.0 to 26.2 months). ORR was 70.6% (12/17) in trastuzumab-pretreated patients and 90.9% (10/11) in trastuzumab-naive patients. NGS analysis of all genetic alterations of HER2 bypass signaling pathway, PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and TP53 in baseline blood samples suggested that concomitant (two or more) genetic alterations were significantly associated with poorer PFS compared to none or one genetic alteration (median, 15.8 vs. 26.2 months, p = 0.006). Conclusions: Pyrotinib in combination with capecitabine are well-tolerated and demonstrate promising antitumor activity in HER2-positive MBC patients. Clinical trial information: NCT02361112.

Purpose This phase I study assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, antitumor activity, and predictive biomarkers of pyrotinib, an irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor, in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive metastatic breast cancer. Patients and Methods Pyrotinib was administered continuously, orally, once per day to patients who did not have prior exposure to tyrosine kinase inhibitors of HER2. Planned dose escalation was 80, 160, 240, 320, 400, and 480 mg. For pharmacokinetic analysis, timed blood samples were collected on day 1 and day 28. Next-generation sequencing was performed on circulating tumor DNA and genomic DNA from tumor samples. Results Thirty-eight patients were enrolled. The dose-limiting toxicity was grade 3 diarrhea, which occurred in two patients administered 480 mg of pyrotinib; thus, the maximum tolerated dose was 400 mg. Common pyrotinib-related adverse events included diarrhea (44.7% [17 of 38]), nausea (13.2% [five of 38]), oral ulceration (13.2% [five of 38]), asthenia (10.5% [four of 38]), and leukopenia (10.5% [four of 38]). The only grade 3 adverse event was diarrhea. Pharmacokinetic analyses indicated that pyrotinib exposure was dose dependent. The overall response rate was 50.0% (18 of 36), and the clinical benefit rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease ≥ 24 weeks) was 61.1% (22 of 36). The median progression-free survival was 35.4 weeks (95% CI, 23.3 to 40.0 weeks). The overall response rate was 83.3% (10 of 12) in trastuzumab-naive patients and 33.3% (eight of 24) in trastuzumab-pretreated patients. Preliminary results suggest that PIK3CA and TP53 mutations in circulating tumor DNA ( P = .013) rather than in archival tumor tissues ( P = .474) may predict the efficacy of pyrotinib. Conclusion Continuous once-per-day pyrotinib was well tolerated and demonstrated promising antitumor activity in HER2-positive patients with metastatic breast cancer. The maximum tolerated dose was established as 400 mg. Diarrhea was the dose-limiting toxicity. The promising antitumor activity and acceptable tolerability of pyrotinib warrant its further evaluation in a phase II study.

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.

10599 Background: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may be overexpressed in breast cancer. Inhibition of EGFR signaling by gefitinib (Iressa) enhances the in vitro antitumor activity of many cytotoxic drugs including paclitaxel. Methods: In this phase II study patients (pts) with measurable metastatic breast cancer and maximum prior exposure to two chemotherapies were randomized to paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 q21) and continuous gefitinib, 250 mg daily for 21 days (arm A); or paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 on days 8, 15 q21) with gefitinib 250 mg daily from day 1 to 15 (arm B). Therapy continued for at least 4 cycles after best response. After 6 cycles, responding pts continued with gefitinib monotherapy until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 16 pts in arm A and 17 in arm B were enrolled; 25 had visceral disease (12 in arm A and 13 in arm B). Median age was 53 years (range 29–70). All but one pt received prior anthracyclines and 9 also prior taxanes. Overall 17 pts responded to therapy (intent to treat analysis; arm A: 62.5%, 95% CI: 35.4–84.8%; arm B: 41.2%, 95% CI: 18.4–67.1%). Disease control (CR+PR+SD) was achieved in 81.3% of pts in arm A and 76.5% in arm B, with 10 and 6 pts who continued with gefitinib monotherapy after completing the combination schedule. Median time to progression was 250 (arm A) and 204 days (arm B), while median response duration was 212 (arm A) and 285 days (arm B). Tolerability was good with either schedule of gefitinib. Diarrhea was frequent (68.8% and 64.7%) and of grade 3–4 severity in 6% of pts in arm A and in arm B. Grade 3–4 neutropenia affected 6% and 12% of pts respectively, and 6% of pts in both arms had a grade 3–4 increase of AST and ALT. Other grade 1–2 adverse events included acneiform rash (100% in arm A and 58.8% in arm B), sensory neuropathy (68.8% and 58.8%), anemia (50.0% and 52.9%), neutropenia (25.0% and 17.6%) and myalgia (37.5% and 41.2%). Conclusions: The combination of paclitaxel with gefitinib given continuously or for 2 out of every 3 weeks is feasible and well tolerated. The discontinuous schedule caused less skin toxicity. The good antitumor activity deserves further studies to identify sensitive subgroups and mechanisms of sensitivity. IRESSA is a trademark of the AstraZeneca group of companies. [Table: see text]

Purpose The antibody–drug conjugate trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) combines the cytotoxic activity of DM1 with the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –targeted, antitumor properties of trastuzumab. T-DM1 has shown activity in phase I and II single-arm studies in patients with pretreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and has demonstrated superior efficacy and improved tolerability versus standard MBC treatments in randomized phase II and III studies. This analysis, combining available data from all single-agent T-DM1 studies to date, was conducted to better define the T-DM1 safety profile. Patients and Methods Six studies in patients with HER2-positive MBC who received T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks and follow-up data from patients in an extension study were analyzed. Analyses included adverse events (AEs) by grade; AEs leading to death, drug discontinuation, or dose reduction; and select AEs. Results Among 884 T-DM1–exposed patients, the most commonly reported all-grade AEs were fatigue (46.4%), nausea (43.0%), thrombocytopenia (32.2%), headache (29.4%), and constipation (26.5%). The most common grade 3 to 4 AEs were the laboratory abnormalities of thrombocytopenia (11.9%) and increased AST serum concentration (4.3%). These were manageable and not generally associated with clinical symptoms. There were 12 AE-related deaths. AEs resulted in dose reductions in 17.2% of patients and drug discontinuations in 7.0%. Conclusion In this analysis of 884 T-DM1–exposed patients, grade 3 or greater AEs were infrequent and typically asymptomatic and manageable. This favorable safety profile makes T-DM1 treatment suitable for exploration in other breast cancer settings.
