1001 Background: PARP inhibitors(i) are effective in BRCA-mutation -associated metastatic breast cancer(MBC). However, there are no studies evaluating PARPi + platin chemotherapy in BRCA wild-type(wt) TNBC. Approximately 1/2 of BRCAwt TNBC demonstrate homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) resulting in a BRCA-like phenotype which might render them sensitive to PARPi. S1416 compared the efficacy of cisplatin plus PARPi veliparib (Vel) or placebo (P) in 3 groups of MBC: gBRCA+; BRCA-like; and non-BRCA-like. Methods: Patients (pts) with metastatic TNBC or g BRCA1/2-associated MBC, who had received < 1 line of prior therapy were treated with cisplatin (75mg/m2) plus Vel or P (300 mg po BID days 1-14), every 3 weeks. All pts underwent central gBRCA testing. A priori established multipronged biomarker panel was used to classify BRCAwt pts into BRCA-like and non-BRCA-like groups, and included myChoice HRD score, somatic BRCA1/2 mutations, BRCA1 methylation and non- BRCA1/2 HR germline mutations. Primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS) in the three pre-defined groups; secondary end-points included objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), toxicity. Results: 323/335 randomized pts were eligible for efficacy evaluation; 31% had received 1 prior chemotherapy for MBC. 248 pts were classified into the three groups: (1) 37 gBRCA+ (2) 101 BRCA-like; (3) 110 non- BRCA-like. Remaining 75 could not be classified due to missing biomarker information. In the gBRCA+ group (which reached 62% of its projected accrual), numerically better PFS was noted with Vel compared to P (HR=0.64; p=0.26) though this difference was not statistically significant. In BRCA-like group improved PFS was noted with Vel vs P (median PFS 5.7 vs 4.3 months HR=0.58; p=0.023, 1 years PFS 20% vs 7%). Numerically better OS (median OS 13.7 vs 12.1 months, HR=0.66; p=0.14) and ORR (45% vs 35%, p=0.38) were noted with Vel vs P in BRCA-like group. Non-BRCA-like group did not show benefit of veliparib for PFS (HR=0.85; p=0.43) neither did the unclassified group (HR=0.97). Grade 3/4 neutropenia (46% vs 19%) and anemia (23% vs 7%) occurred at higher frequency in Vel arm compared to P. Conclusions: Addition of Vel to cisplatin significantly improved PFS and showed a trend towards improved OS for BRCA-like advanced TNBC. Integral biomarkers used in this study identified a subgroup of BRCAwt TNBC who benefited from addition of PARPi to cisplatin; platinum plus PARPi combination should be explored further in BRCA-like TNBC.

1133 Background: Pazopanib, an oral small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR, PDGFR, and KIT, has demonstrated activity in phase I, with a recommended phase II dose of 800 mg/d (Hurwitz H et al, J Clin Oncol. 2005;23[16 suppl]:3012.1). We evaluated the activity of single agent pazopanib in recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: In this 2-stage design, patients with recurrent or MBC received pazopanib 800 mg/d. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) of 20%. Response in 3 out of 18 patients was required to go to stage 2. Treatment was continued until progression. Results: 21 patients entered stage 1; 67% were ER positive and all were HER-2-negative. Prior lines of chemotherapy were 1 in 76% and 2 in 14%. Of the 19 evaluable patients, 2 patients remain on treatment. 14 (74%) stopped due to progressive disease, 2 (10%) due to adverse events, and 1 (5%) due to patient request. Best response was partial response (PR) in 1 (5%), stable disease (SD) in 11 (58%), and progressive disease in 7 (37%). Clinical benefit rate (CR, PR, or SD for ≥ 6 months) was 26%. Median time to progression (TTP) was 3.7 months (95% C.I. 1.7 months - not reached). 9 out of 18 patients (50%) with measurable target lesions had some decrease in target lesion size. Estimated progression-free survival at 3 months was 55%, and 28% at 6 months. Adverse events were grade 3/4 elevations in AST (14%) and ALT (10%), and grade 3 hypertension and neutropenia (14% each). Other common events were grade 1/2 lymphopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, skin hypopigmentation, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and headache. Conclusions: Pazopanib is well tolerated and demonstrates activity in pretreated breast cancer. While the target ORR of 20% has not been met, rates of SD and TTP are comparable to other active agents in this setting, and therefore pazopanib may be an interesting agent for future studies in breast cancer.

548 Background: YM155 (YM) is a small molecule survivin suppressant. In a phase I/II study of YM plus docetaxel (D) in solid tumors evidence of anti-tumor activity was observed in women with human epidermal growth factor 2 non-overexpressing (HER2 negative) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Methods: This was a randomized study of YM plus D versus D as 1st line treatment in subjects with HER2 negative mBC. Eligibility criteria were: ECOG < 1, no prior chemotherapy for mBC, and at least one measurable lesion. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were: objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), time to response (TTR) and safety. YM was administered at 5 mg/m2/day as a 168 hr continuous infusion followed by 14 Day (d) observation and D was administered at 75 mg/m2over 1 hr on d1 every 21d. In the control arm, D was dosed per investigator choice q 21d. Results: 101 subjects were randomized (50 YM + D; 51 D). Median (m) age 55 (range: 25 – 79), 25% had triple negative disease, > 60% had bone and lymph mets, 86% had prior therapy for BC. mPFS (days) was 251 (95%CI: 176 – 333) YM + D vs 252 (95%CI: 202-433) D (p=0.34). ORR, CBR and TTR (YM+D; D): 26% vs. 25.5%; 82% vs. 84.3% and 45 vs 59 d. OS data are immature but showed no difference (p=0.911). Adverse events [AEs (> 25%)] [YM + D% vs D %]: neutropenia 83 vs 84, alopecia 62.5 vs 53, fatigue 50 vs 41.2, nausea 35.4 vs 41.2, leucopenia 27 vs 33 and dyspnoea 33 vs 14. Common (>10%) serious AEs [YM + D% vs D%]: febrile neutropenia 21 vs 8 and neutropenia 10 vs 8. Conclusions: Preclinical and clinical evidence suggested the combination of YM + D may offer additional benefit to D alone in subjects with mBC. This study showed no difference in efficacy, but the combination appeared to be well tolerated. Clinical trial information: NCT01038804.

AbstractTherapeutic anti-PD-L1 antibodies are safe as a monotherapy, albeit with minimal efficacy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This trial aimed to test the safety and efficacy of Durvalumab and Paclitaxel in metastatic TNBC. In this open-label, one-arm trial, five cycles of weekly paclitaxel were delivered intravenously (IV) concurrent with Durvalumab that was given IV every 2 weeks. The combination was preceded by one cycle of paclitaxel alone, for immunological priming, followed by Durvalumab solo until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Between 2017 and 2019, 14 patients received at least one cycle of the combination therapy. The therapy was safe with no-dose limiting toxicity, except one case of skin lesions. Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 71% of patients, and there was no death due to the combination therapy. Regardless of grade, the most common AEs were headache and peripheral neuropathy, as each happened in four patients (29%), followed by fatigue and skin rash in three patients (21%) each. Grade 3/4 AEs were experienced by three patients (21%), with the most common being headache and anemia, which happened in two patients (14%). The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was observed in five patients with a median duration of 10.0 months. Median Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 5 and 20.7 months, respectively. The combination of Durvalumab and Paclitaxel is safe, leaving room for additional agents. This is the first report on the combination of Durvalumab and Paclitaxel in the treatment of TNBC (NCT02628132).

1074 Background: TQB2450 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). Anlotinib is an antiangiogenic small molecule, multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has improved clinical outcomes in various solid tumors. This phase 1b study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TQB2450 plus anlotinib for patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) after the failure of standard therapy. Methods: This ongoing study included a dose-escalation phase and an expansion phase. Advanced TNBC patients with prior anthracyclines and/or taxanes treatment and failed at least first-line therapy were enrolled. In the dose-escalation phase, eligible patients received anlotinib (8mg, 10mg, and 12mg, qd, days 1-14; 21 days per cycle) plus TQB2450 (1200mg, day 1; 21 days per cycle) following the conventional 3+3 design. If the starting dose of 10mg anlotinib led to ≥2 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), 8mg anlotinib would be administered. After the dose-escalating phase, eligible patients were enrolled into the expansion cohort. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Results: Between May 29, 2019, and December 31, 2020, in the dose-escalation phase, three patients receiving 10mg anlotinib plus 1200mg TQB2450 had no DLTs in the first cycle, neither did three patients with 12mg anlotinib plus TQB2450. Next, 28 patients with advanced TNBC received 12 mg anlotinib plus TQB2450 in the expansion phase. Finally, a total of 34 patients were included with median age of 49.5 (32-70) and median prior lines of 2 (1-6). Numbers of patients with prior platinum therapy: 16, prior anthracycline therapy: 32. The ORR was 26.47% (9/34) and DCR was 82.35% (28/34). The median PFS was 8.57 months. Seventeen patients experienced grade 3 treatment-related AEs (TRAEs). Most frequently occurring (>5%) grade 3 TRAEs were QT interval prolongation (17.65%), hypertension (14.71%), diarrhea (8.82%), hand-foot syndrome (HFS) (8.82%), and hypertriglyceridemia (5.88%). Conclusions: TQB2450 plus anlotinib showed an acceptable safety profile with promising activity for previously anthracyclines and/or taxanes-treated advanced TNBC patients.

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.

Abstract Breast cancer may present genomic alterations leading to homologous recombination deficiency. PARP inhibitors have proved their efficacy in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC) harboring germline (g) BRCA1/2 mutations. We conducted the phase 2 RUBY trial to assess the efficacy of rucaparib in HER2-negative mBC with high genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) score or somatic, without gBRCA1/2 mutation. 220 of 711 patients with mBC screened for LOH presented high LOH score which was associated with a higher likelihood of death (HR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.11-1.75, p = 0.005). The primary objective was not reached with a clinical benefit rate (objective response or SD>16 weeks) of 13.5%. Two LOH-high patients, without somatic BRCA1/2 mutation, presented a complete and durable response (14 and 32 months). HRDetect tended to be associated with response to rucaparib, whithout reaching statistical significance (median HRDetect responders versus non responders: 0.465 versus, 0.040, p = 0.2135). Our data suggests that a small subset of patients with high LOH score could derive benefit from PARP inhibitors.

Purpose To compare the effectiveness and tolerability of epirubicin and paclitaxel (EP) with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (EC) as first-line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients and Methods Patients previously untreated with chemotherapy (except for adjuvant therapy) were randomly assigned to receive either EP (epirubicin 75 mg/m2 and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2) or EC (epirubicin 75 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) administered intravenously every 3 weeks for a maximum of six cycles. The primary outcome was progression-free survival; secondary outcome measures were overall survival, response rates, and toxicity. Results Between 1996 and 1999, 705 patients (353 EP patients and 352 EC patients) underwent random assignment. Patient characteristics were well matched between the two groups, and 71% of patients received six cycles of treatment. Objective response rates were 65% for the EP group and 55% for the EC group (P = .015). At the time of analysis, 641 patients (91%) had died. Median progression-free survival time was 7.0 months for the EP group and 7.1 months for the EC group (hazard ratio = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.24; P = .41), and median overall survival time was 13 months for the EP group and 14 months for the EC group (hazard ratio = 1.02; 95% CI, 0.87 to 1.19; P = .8). EP patients, compared with EC patients, had more grade 3 and 4 mucositis (6% v 2%, respectively; P = .0006) and grade 3 and 4 neurotoxicity (5% v 1%, respectively; P < .0001). Conclusion In terms of progression-free survival and overall survival, there was no evidence of a difference between EP and EC. The data demonstrate no additional advantage to using EP instead of EC as first-line chemotherapy for MBC in taxane-naïve patients.

Her2 Breast Cancer

1087 Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with up to 37% of patients (pts) harboring germline BRCA1/2 mutations (g BRCA1/2m) that appear to be sensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase proteins 1 and 2 (PARP1/2) inhibition. Pamiparib is an orally administered selective PARP1/2 inhibitor that has the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of pamiparib in pts with locally advanced/metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, with deleterious or suspected deleterious g BRCA1/2m, who received ≤ 2 prior lines of chemotherapy. Methods: In this open-label, phase 2, multi-center study in China (NCT03575065), pts with locally advanced/metastatic HER2- breast cancer with deleterious or suspected deleterious g BRCA1/2m triple negative breast cancer (TNBC cohort) or hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2- breast cancer (HR+ cohort) were enrolled. Pts received pamiparib 60 mg orally twice daily in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR; RECIST v1.1) by independent review committee (IRC). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR) and progression free survival (PFS) by IRC, overall survival (OS), safety and tolerability. Results: 88 pts were enrolled (median age 45.5 years), 76 pts (TNBC cohort n = 55; HR+ cohort n = 21) had measurable disease at baseline per IRC. 60 pts (68.2%) received 1 or 2 prior lines of chemotherapy; 42 pts (47.7%) were treated with platinum previously. Median follow-up was 13.77 months (TNBC cohort, 10.87 months; HR+ cohort, 18.45 months). In the TNBC cohort: confirmed ORR was 38.2% (95% CI: 25.4–52.3); median DOR (mDOR) was 6.97 months (95% CI: 3.94–not estimable[NE]); median PFS (mPFS) was 5.49 months (95% CI: 3.65–7.33); median OS (mOS) was 17.08 months (95% CI:13.70–NE). In the HR+ cohort: confirmed ORR was 61.9% (95% CI: 38.4–81.9); mDOR was 7.49 months (95% CI: 5.55–14.75); mPFS was 9.20 months (95% CI: 7.39–11.93); mOS was not reached (NR; 95% CI 18.10–NE). ≥ Grade 3 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 54 pts (61.4%); anemia was the most common TEAE, occurring in 77 pts (87.5%). Dose reduction due to TEAEs occurred for 57 pts (64.8%); discontinuations due to TEAEs occurred for 2 pts (2.3%). Conclusions: Pamiparib showed a promising response in pts with locally advanced/metastatic HER2- breast cancer with a g BRCA1/2m. The safety profile of pamiparib was considered acceptable and was generally consistent with therapies in the same class. Clinical trial information: NCT03575065 .[Table: see text]

Aim: To examine the effectiveness of eribulin mesylate for metastatic breast cancer post cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKi) 4/6 therapy. Materials & methods: US community oncologists reviewed charts of patients who had received eriublin from 3 February 2015 to 31 December 2017 after prior CDKi 4/6 therapy and detailed their clinical/treatment history, clinical outcomes (lesion measurements, progression, death) and toxicity. Results: Four patient cohorts were created according to eribulin line of therapy: second line, third line, per US label and fourth line with objective response rates/clinical benefit rates of 42.2%/58.7%, 26.1%/42.3%, 26.7%/54.1% and 17.9%/46.4%, respectively. Median progression-free survival/6-month progression-free survival (79.5% of all patients censored) by cohort was: 9.7 months/77.3%, 10.3 months/71.3%, not reached/70.4% and 4.0 months/0.0%, respectively. Overall occurrence of neutropenia = 23.5%, febrile neutropenia = 1.3%, peripheral neuropathy = 10.1% and diarrhea = 11.1%. Conclusion: Clinical outcome and adverse event rates were similar to those in clinical trials and other observational studies. Longer follow-up is required to confirm these findings.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel administered as a 1-hour infusion on weekly basis, without interruption, to patients with metastatic breast cancer who had received prior therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty patients with metastatic breast cancer received sustained weekly paclitaxel therapy at an initial dose of 100 mg/m2 until disease progression. Prior therapy included adjuvant only (n=17), metastatic only (n=7), or both (n=6). Eighteen patients had received prior anthracycline therapy, 12 of whom had demonstrated progression of disease within 12 months of it. All patients were assessable for efficacy; 29 patients were assessable for toxicity. Pharmacokinetic studies of paclitaxel were also performed. RESULTS A total of 469 weekly paclitaxel infusions were administered to 30 patients (median, 14 infusions/patient). The median delivered dose-intensity was 91 mg/m2/wk (range, 80 to 108). The overall response rate was 53% (95% confidence interval [CI], 34% to 72%), with 10% complete responses (CRs) and 43% partial responses (PRs). Median response duration was 7.5 months (range, 2 to 11+). Responses were observed in nine of 18 (50%) patients with prior anthracycline therapy, including six of 12 (50%) with disease progression on anthracycline within 1 year (three of four within 6 months). Therapy was well tolerated and remarkable for a lack of overall and cumulative myelosuppression. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in four patients; febrile neutropenia was not observed. Peripheral neuropathy prohibited dose escalation above 100 mg/m2, and grade 3 neuropathy was observed in two of 21 patients at < or = 100 mg/m2. CONCLUSION Weekly paclitaxel therapy is active and well tolerated in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Weekly therapy should be considered as a current clinical option for these patients and should be incorporated into future comparative clinical trials.
