1048 Background: Trastuzumab is the most widely used anti-HER2 agent in patients (pts) with HER2-positive breast cancer, both in (neo)adjuvant and metastatic settings; however, drug resistance is inevitable. This pooled study aimed to investigate the efficacy of pyrotinib plus capecitabine in pts with HER2-positive, trastuzumab-resistant relapsed or metastatic breast cancer. Methods: Data were derived from three randomized controlled trials, including a phase II (NCT02422199) and the PHOEBE phase III (NCT03080805) study comparing pyrotinib plus capecitabine vs lapatinib plus capecitabine and the PHENIX phase III (NCT02973737) study comparing pyrotinib plus capecitabine vs placebo plus capecitabine. Pts with trastuzumab-resistant disease were included in the analyses, including 39 pts who had relapsed within six months after adjuvant trastuzumab and 57 pts who had progressed within three months of trastuzumab treatment for metastatic disease. The pooled tumor response data (per blinded independent central review) were reported herein. Results: In the pooled analysis of all three studies, 63 pts received pyrotinib plus capecitabine. Among them, 28 (44.4%) pts had disease progression or died. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 12.4 months (95% CI, 6.9 to not reached). In total, 40 pts (63.5% [95% CI, 50.4% to 75.3%]) achieved objective response, and the estimated median duration of response (DoR) was 11.1 months (95% CI, 6.9 to not reached). In the pooled analysis involving the phase II and PHOEBE phase III, 43 pts were treated with pyrotinib plus capecitabine and 33 pts with lapatinib plus capecitabine. In total, 18 (41.9%) pts with pyrotinib plus capecitabine and 17 (51.5%) pts with lapatinib plus capecitabine had disease progression or died. The PFS tended to be prolonged with pyrotinib plus capecitabine vs lapatinib plus capecitabine (median, 12.4 months [95% CI, 6.9 to not reached] vs 6.9 months [95% CI, 5.5 to not reached]; hazard ratio, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.31 to 1.24]; p=0.0864). The objective response rate was 67.4% (95% CI, 51.5% to 80.9%) with pyrotinib plus capecitabine compared with 54.5% (95% CI, 36.4% to 71.9%) with lapatinib plus capecitabine. The estimated median DoR was 11.1 months [95% CI, 6.9 to not reached] vs not reached [95% CI, 4.2 months to not reached], respectively. Conclusions: Pyrotinib plus capecitabine showed favorable efficacy in pts with HER2-positive, trastuzumab-resistant relapsed or metastatic breast cancer. This combination could be a treatment option for this population.

PURPOSE NALA (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01808573 ) is a randomized, active-controlled, phase III trial comparing neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), plus capecitabine (N+C) against lapatinib, a reversible dual TKI, plus capecitabine (L+C) in patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with ≥ 2 previous HER2-directed MBC regimens. METHODS Patients, including those with stable, asymptomatic CNS disease, were randomly assigned 1:1 to neratinib (240 mg once every day) plus capecitabine (750 mg/m2 twice a day 14 d/21 d) with loperamide prophylaxis, or to lapatinib (1,250 mg once every day) plus capecitabine (1,000 mg/m2 twice a day 14 d/21 d). Coprimary end points were centrally confirmed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). NALA was considered positive if either primary end point was met (α split between end points). Secondary end points were time to CNS disease intervention, investigator-assessed PFS, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), clinical benefit rate, safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). RESULTS A total of 621 patients from 28 countries were randomly assigned (N+C, n = 307; L+C, n = 314). Centrally reviewed PFS was improved with N+C (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.93; stratified log-rank P = .0059). The OS HR was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.72 to 1.07; P = .2098). Fewer interventions for CNS disease occurred with N+C versus L+C (cumulative incidence, 22.8% v 29.2%; P = .043). ORRs were N+C 32.8% (95% CI, 27.1 to 38.9) and L+C 26.7% (95% CI, 21.5 to 32.4; P = .1201); median DoR was 8.5 versus 5.6 months, respectively (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.33 to 0.74; P = .0004). The most common all-grade adverse events were diarrhea (N+C 83% v L+C 66%) and nausea (53% v 42%). Discontinuation rates and HRQoL were similar between groups. CONCLUSION N+C significantly improved PFS and time to intervention for CNS disease versus L+C. No new N+C safety signals were observed.

1037 Background: HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (BC) has a high risk of brain metastases (BM), leading to poor survival. Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with enhanced penetrability to the blood brain barrier combined with capecitabine have demonstrated promising clinical outcomes in HER2-positive metastatic BC patients with untreated (such as lapatinib) or previously treated (such as neratinib) BM. The randomized phase III PHOEBE trial has proved better efficacy of pyrotinib, an irreversible pan-HER receptor TKI, versus lapatinib when in combination with capecitabine in HER2-positive local relapsed or metastatic BC. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib plus capecitabine in HER2-positive metastatic BC patients with BM. Methods: In this multicenter phase II trial (NCT03691051), eligible patients received pyrotinib 400 mg orally once daily without breaks and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days off. Treatment was continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Prior HER2 TKIs were not allowed. Cohort A included patients with radiotherapy-naive BM, and cohort B included those with progressive BM after whole brain radiotherapy or stereotactic conformal radiotherapy. The primary endpoint was confirmed central nervous system (CNS) objective response rate (ORR), as assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1. Results: Between January 2018 and July 2020, a total of 78 female patients were included (Table). For cohort A (n = 59), the CNS ORR was 74.6% (95%CI: 61.6%-85.0%). For cohort B (n = 19), the CNS ORR was 42.1% (95%CI: 20.3%-66.5%). By the cutoff date on 25 January 2021, the median progression-free survival was 12.1 months (95%CI: 9.0-14.7) in cohort A and 5.6 months (95%CI: 3.4-10.7) in cohort B. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events were diarrhea (23.1% [18/78]), neutrophil count decreased (12.8% [10/78]), white blood cell count decreased (12.8% [10/78]), anemia (9.0% [7/78]), hand-foot syndrome (7.7% [6/78]), hypertriglyceridemia (6.4% [5/78]), and hypokalemia (5.1% [4/78]). Conclusions: Pyrotinib plus capecitabine resulted as an effective and safe treatment for HER2-positive BC patients with radiotherapy-naive BM, but the efficacy was modest in those with radiotherapy-treated BM.
