Abstract PurposeWe aimed to develop a prediction MammaPrint (MMP) genomic risk assessment nomogram model for hormone-receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer and minimal axillary burden (N0-1) tumors using clinicopathological factors of patients who underwent an MMP test for decision making regarding adjuvant chemotherapy.MethodsA total of 409 T1-3 N0-1 M0 hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer patients whose MMP genomic risk results were available at Asan Medical Center from 2017 to 2020 were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to training and validation subsets and logistic regression was performed. ResultsThe primary cohort (n = 409) included 216 (53.1%) T2-3 and 388 (94.8%) N1 patients. No patients were estrogen-receptor-negative or -weak, 175 (42.7%) had a high proliferation index (Ki-67 ≥ 20%), and 225 (55.0%) were premenopausal. Multivariate analysis revealed that the age at diagnosis, progesterone receptor (PR) score, nuclear grade, and Ki-67 were significantly associated with MMP risk results. We developed an MMP low-risk predictive nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77 to 0.87). When applied to the validation group, the nomogram was accurate with an area under the curve of 0.77 (95% CI, 0.68 to 0.86).Conclusion Our nomogram, which incorporates four traditional prognostic factors, i.e., age, PR, nuclear grade, and Ki-67, could predict the probability of obtaining a low MMP risk in a cohort of intermediate clinical risk patients. This nomogram can aid the selection of patients who need additional MMP testing.

Abstract Background This was a Japanese subpopulation analysis of MONARCH 2, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study of abemaciclib plus fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). Methods Eligible women had progressed on (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET), ≤ 12 months from end of adjuvant ET, or on first-line ET for ABC, and had not received chemotherapy for ABC. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive abemaciclib or placebo plus fulvestrant. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), pharmacokinetics (PK), health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and safety. Results In Japan, 95 patients were randomized (abemaciclib, n = 64; placebo, n = 31). At final PFS analysis (February 14, 2017), median PFS was 21.2 and 14.3 months, respectively, in the abemaciclib and placebo groups (hazard ratio: 0.672; 95% confidence interval: 0.380–1.189). Abemaciclib had a higher objective response rate (37.5%) than placebo (12.9%). PK and safety profiles for Japanese patients were consistent with those of the overall population, without clinically meaningful differences across most HRQoL dimensions evaluated. The most frequent adverse events in the abemaciclib versus placebo groups were diarrhea (95.2 versus 25.8%), neutropenia (79.4 versus 0%), and leukopenia (66.7 versus 0%). At a second data cutoff (June 20, 2019), median OS was not reached with abemaciclib and 47.3 months with placebo (hazard ratio: 0.755; 95% confidence interval: 0.390–1.463). Conclusions Results of the Japanese subpopulation were consistent with the improved clinical outcomes and manageable safety profile observed in the overall population.

Purpose MONARCH 2 ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02107703) compared the efficacy and safety of abemaciclib, a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor, plus fulvestrant with fulvestrant alone in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC). Patients and Methods MONARCH 2 was a global, double-blind, phase III study of women with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative ABC who had progressed while receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET), ≤ 12 months from the end of adjuvant ET, or while receiving first-line ET for metastatic disease. Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive abemaciclib or placebo (150 mg twice daily) on a continuous schedule and fulvestrant (500 mg, per label). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), and key secondary end points included overall survival, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response, clinical benefit rate, quality of life, and safety. Results Between August 2014 and December 2015, 669 patients were randomly assigned to receive abemaciclib plus fulvestrant (n = 446) or placebo plus fulvestrant (n = 223). Abemaciclib plus fulvestrant significantly extended PFS versus fulvestrant alone (median, 16.4 v 9.3 months; hazard ratio, 0.553; 95% CI, 0.449 to 0.681; P < .001). In patients with measurable disease, abemaciclib plus fulvestrant achieved an ORR of 48.1% (95% CI, 42.6% to 53.6%) compared with 21.3% (95% CI, 15.1% to 27.6%) in the control arm. The most common adverse events in the abemaciclib versus placebo arms were diarrhea (86.4% v 24.7%), neutropenia (46.0% v 4.0%), nausea (45.1% v 22.9%), and fatigue (39.9% v 26.9%). Conclusions Abemaciclib at 150 mg twice daily plus fulvestrant was effective, significantly improving PFS and ORR and demonstrating a tolerable safety profile in women with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative ABC who progressed while receiving ET.
