Outcomes of talazoparib (TALA) versus physician's choice of chemotherapy (PCT) in patients (pts) with advanced breast cancer (ABC) and a germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutation by line of chemotherapy (CT) in the EMBRACA trial.
1071 Background: The PARP inhibitor TALA was approved in the US for treatment of g BRCA-mutated ABC based in part on the EMBRACA study. Understanding the outcomes of EMBRACA pts relative to prior CT is a current unmet need. Methods: EMBRACA was a randomized Phase 3 trial comparing TALA 1 mg daily vs PCT (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine) in g BRCA-mutated ABC. Clinical outcomes were assessed by line of prior CT for ABC in intent-to-treat (ITT), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer cohorts. Results: 431 pts were randomized (ITT; TALA 287; PCT: 144). TALA was generally more effective than PCT across efficacy endpoints regardless of line of CT (Table). For the ITT population, TALA improved progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) vs PCT for each line of CT assessed. Other prespecified subgroups (TNBC and HR+) will be presented. Conclusions: In pts with g BRCA-mutated ABC, TALA demonstrated improvements in clinical outcomes compared with PCT regardless of prior lines of CT. Clinical trial information: NCT01945775.
