e13025 Background: H3B-6545, a highly Selective ERα Covalent Antagonist (SERCA), inactivates both wild-type and mutant ERα by targeting cysteine 530 and enforcing a unique antagonist conformation. At the dose of 450 mg daily, H3B-6545 has a manageable safety profile and demonstrated preliminary single-agent antitumor activity in heavily pretreated ER+, HER2- mBC patients (Hamilton et al, San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, 2020). Methods: The study evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of H3B-6545 in combination with palbociclib in patients with ER+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The escalation phase enrolls patients with 2 or more prior therapies in the metastatic setting. Up to one prior chemotherapy and up to one prior CDK4/6 inhibitor were allowed. Results: As of January 31, 2021, 10 patients were enrolled; 7 in Cohort 1 (H3B-6545 300 mg QD and palbociclib 100 mg QD) and 3 in Cohort 2 (H3B-6545 300 mg QD and palbociclib 125 mg QD). One patient in Cohort 1 was not evaluable for dose limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment and no DLT was observed in the 6 evaluable patients. One patient discontinued study treatment because of progression and no patients discontinued study treatment due to adverse events (AE). Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 4 patients and 1 patient, respectively. One patient had grade 3 hypercalcemia, generalized muscle weakness, hypophosphatemia, fall, and anemia and one patient had grade 3 lipase increase. Four patients had grade 1 bradycardia or sinus bradycardia (asymptomatic) 1 patient had grade 2 sinus bradycardia (symptomatic, no intervention required). Preliminary PK analysis suggested no clinically relevant drug-drug interactions between H3B-6545 and palbociclib, to be confirmed with data from additional cohorts. Recruitment is currently ongoing in Cohort 2. Updated results will be presented. Conclusions: H3B-6545, in combination with palbociclib, was well-tolerated. Clinical trial information: NCT04288089.

10748 Background: Nab-P improves outcomes when compared against single agent cremophor-based P, as does the addition of bevacizumab or gemcitabine to the same agent. There are no available data regarding combinations of Nab-P with B and/or G. Ongoing investigational efforts are evaluating various doublets with these agents, but, to the best of our knowledge, not all 3 of them in the same regimen. All drugs are currently FDA-approved in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods: Review of single-institution experience, evaluating safety and preliminary evidence of activity with the use of Nab-P and B with and without G in heavily pretreated her2neu negative metastatic breast cancer patients. Assessment of response was undertaken by the investigators independently of treating physician. RECIST criteria were used. Three patients received Nab-P and B at the following doses: Nab-P 100 mg/m2, B 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks, and 2 patients received all 3 drugs as follows: Nab-P 100 mg/m2, G 1,000 mg/m2, B 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Results: Five women have been evaluated. Median age was 51 (range 34–69). Two patients had hormone-receptor positive disease and 3 had ER/PR/Her2neu-negative cancer. Prior number of regimens was 3 (range 2–7). Four patients had been treated with a taxane. One received both paclitaxel and docetaxel, and 3 docetaxel only. A median of 5 cycles have been administered (range 3–9). First-cycle grade 3/4 toxicity was seen in only one patient who had a baseline grade 2 thrombocytopenia that progressed to grade 3. The thrombocytopenia resolved without requiring transfusion and without any hemorrhagic complication. Another patient developed grade 2 peripheral neuropathy. Two patients are not yet assessable for response. At time of first evaluation 1 patient had progressive disease (Nab-P, B; 7 prior lines of treatment), one had stable disease (Nab-P, B, G; 3 prior lines of therapy, including docetaxel), and 1 had a partial response (Nab-P, B, G; 2 prior therapies, including docetaxel). Conclusions: These very preliminary data suggest that Nab-P in combination with B with and without G is a safe regimen and formal Phase I/II trials are being developed to confirm its clinical activity.

TPS1123 Background: Antiangiogenic therapy in combination with chemotherapy is effective in control advanced breast cancer(ABC). Apatinib is an oral, highly potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR-2). Phase II clinical trials of Apatinib single agent had presented objective response and manageable toxicity in heavily pretreated, metastatic breast cancer. The median progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) of single agent in both triple-negative and non-triple-negative breast cancer were 3.3-4.0 months and 10.3-10.6 months, respectively. The overall response rate and disease control rate (DCR) reached 16.7% and 66.7%, respectively. This all-oral phase II study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the oral vinorelbine-Apatinib combination in pre-treated metastatic breast cancer(MBC). Methods: This single arm prospective study enrolled patients with HER2(Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 ) negative advanced breast cancer, pretreated with anthracycline and taxanes, and who failed in the metastatic setting at least one prior chemotherapy regimen. The estimated Enrollment was 40 patients.The primary end point of this study was PFS. Secondary end points included objective response rate (ORR), DCR, OS and safety. Patients were treated with apatinib 500/425mg daily plus oral vinorelbine 60-80 mg/m2 day1,8,15 every 3 weeks/cycle. Starting doses of Apatinib were chosen according to age, weight and patient status. Patients eligible were evaluated by CT or MRI scan at baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks) there after until disease progressed. Adverse events (AEs) were assessed and graded in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for AEs, version 4.0. Clinical trial information: NCT02768415.

Purpose In this study, two doses of temsirolimus (CCI-779), a novel inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin, were evaluated for efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had been heavily pretreated. Patients and Methods Patients (n = 109) were randomly assigned to receive 75 or 250 mg of temsirolimus weekly as a 30-minute intravenous infusion. Patients were evaluated for tumor response, time to tumor progression, adverse events, and pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus. Results Temsirolimus produced an objective response rate of 9.2% (10 partial responses) in the intent-to-treat population. Median time to tumor progression was 12.0 weeks. Efficacy was similar for both dose levels but toxicity was more common with the higher dose level, especially grade 3 or 4 depression (10% of patients at the 250-mg dose level, 0% at the 75-mg dose level). The most common temsirolimus-related adverse events of all grades were mucositis (70%), maculopapular rash (51%), and nausea (43%). The most common, clinically important grade 3 or 4 adverse events were mucositis (9%), leukopenia (7%), hyperglycemia (7%), somnolence (6%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and depression (5%). Conclusion In heavily pretreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, 75 and 250 mg temsirolimus showed antitumor activity and 75 mg temsirolimus showed a generally tolerable safety profile.

1049 Background: This is a single center phase 1b study of a regimen of pembrolizumab (PBZ) and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in endocrine-resistant breast cancer. PLD was chosen as chemotherapy component because it is mildly myelosuppressive and non-immunosuppressive and contains doxorubicin, a strong immunogenic cell death inducer. Methods: Patients with estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative, metastatic breast cancer, whose disease progressed on hormonal and biological therapy and up to 2 chemotherapy lines were eligible for enrollment. PLD, 30 mg/m2, and PBZ, 200 mg flat dose, were infused on day 1 of every 3-week cycles. The main study objectives were safe dose clearance, characterization of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), tumor response, and pharmacokinetic analysis of PLD and PBZ during the first 3 cycles of treatment in a 1st cohort of 6 patients and a 2nd confirmatory cohort of 6-9 patients. Patients with partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) continued on the extended phase of the study consisting of 9 additional cycles during which further safety information was collected. All patients were followed-up for survival. Results: 12 patients were recruited (median age 61 y, range 45-91). 9 patients had received prior doxorubicin treatment. 82 treatments have been administered (median: 7, range 2-13). Overall, treatment was well tolerated. DLT including infusion reactions, grade ≥2 myelosuppression, hair loss and mucocutaneous toxicity were not observed in the first 3 cycles. Subsequently, skin toxicity (grade 2-3 palmar-plantar erythema) was observed forcing treatment delays of 1-2 weeks. Except for 2 cases of subclinical hypothyroidism, there were no other apparent PBZ-related side-effects. There was no evidence of cardiac toxicity. There were 2 early deaths (days 25 and 45) probably related to disease progression. Upon reevaluation on week 9, we observed: 2 patients with PD, 4 with SD, 2 with PR (15+ and 5+ mth), 1 with no measurable disease, and 1 early to evaluate. Three out of 5 patients responded well to post-study chemotherapy with durable improvement or stabilization (range, 5 to 11+ mth). Median follow-up is 14 mth. Median survival has not been reached with 4 deaths and a longest survivor of 19+ mth. Median progression-free survival is 6.0 mth. The clearance of PLD was slow with high Cmax, long T½ and small Vd. There was a significant increase in the AUC of PLD between the 1st and 3rd cycle (median: 2,649 vs 3,422 mg*h/l, p = 0.039). Analysis of PBZ plasma levels is ongoing. Conclusions: The combination of PLD and PBZ is well tolerated and feasible for extended treatment. Dose interval of PLD should be lengthened to 4 weeks after 2-3 cycles to prevent skin toxicity. The late appearance of skin toxicity is probably related to a delay in PLD clearance after 2 treatment cycles with PLD and PBZ. Clinical trial information: NCT03591276 .

To further improve the effect of high-dose chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer, we sought to develop a second active high-dose noncross-resistant regimen to use in tandem with our customary high-dose regimen of cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin (CVP). We performed a phase II trial of high-dose mitoxantrone 30 mg/m2, etoposide 200 mg/m2 every 12 hours x 6, and thiotepa 250 mg/m2 x 3 days (MVT) in 31 patients with heavily pretreated metastatic breast cancer and one with locally advanced chemotherapy-refractory breast cancer. These patients were ineligible for high-dose CVP chemotherapy because of the amount of prior treatment and poor-response status. Of the 32 patients, 14 responded to cycle 1, did not experience any grade 4 toxicity, and received a second cycle of MVT. Overall, seven of 31 patients achieved a complete response (CR; 23%). Four of the 14, who were partial responders to the first cycle, achieved a CR after the second cycle. The overall response rate was 19 of 31 (61%) with an overall median freedom from progression of 4 to 5 months and an overall median survival of 9 months. Toxicity consisted primarily of mucositis (grade 3 or 4 in 69%). The results indicate that high-dose MVT produces significant activity, even in heavily pretreated patients. Administration of a second cycle of high-dose therapy with MVT increased the CR rate, and the morbidity and mortality from the second cycle were not greater than that for the first cycle. Because of the high incidence of grade 3 or 4 mucositis with this regimen, we are currently completing a follow-up study of high-dose mitoxantrone and thiotepa alone.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) comprises 12–20 % of all breast cancers and are a heterogeneous group of tumors, both clinically and pathologically. These cancers are characterized by the lack of expression of the hormone receptors estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), combined with the lack of either overexpression or amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)gene. Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and DNA damaging agents continue to be the mainstay of treatment of this disease in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic setting. The lack of predictive markers in identifying potential targets for the treatment of TNBC has left a gap in directed therapy in these patients. Platinum agents have seen renewed interest in TNBC based on an increasing body of preclinical and clinical data suggesting encouraging activity. However, comparisons between chemotherapy regimens are mostly retrospective in nature and the best agents or drug combinations for TNBC have not been established in prospective randomized trials. Numerous studies have now shown that TNBC has significantly higher pathologic complete response (pCR) rates compared with hormone receptor positive breast cancer when treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and pCR correlates well with better outcomes for these patients. Patients with TNBC account for a larger number of deaths in the setting of metastatic breast cancer. There is no preferred treatment for the first-line metastatic setting. Although individual agents are recommended, given the often aggressive nature of TNBC and the presence of extensive visceral disease, the use of a combination of drugs, rather than a single agent, is often advocated. This review article will outline the pathologic diagnosis of TNBC and the treatment options available to these patients in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic setting, including an assessment of future directions of treatment.
