A clinical case of trastuzumab emtansine in therapy line 4 in patient with metastatic HER2positive breast cancer is provided. After 10  courses of targeted therapy by the drug a complete  response to the therapy was obtained. By results of PET CT conducted in the period from December 2015  to September 2017 the complete response is preserved.

In this neoadjuvant trial (TRIO-US B07), participants with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer (N=128) were randomized to receive trastuzumab (T), lapatinib (L), or both (TL) as HER2-targeted therapy, with each participant given one cycle of this designated anti-HER2 therapy alone followed by six cycles of standard combination chemotherapy with the same anti-HER2 therapy. We observed similar pathologic complete response (pCR) rates between T and TL, and a lower pCR rate with L. Higher-level amplification of HER2 and hormone receptor-negative status were associated with a higher pCR rate. Higher pre-treatment immune infiltrate trended toward higher pCR rate in T-treated groups, and greater HR expression correlated with lower immune infiltrate. Large shifts in tumor, immune, and stromal gene expression occurred after one cycle of HER2-targeted therapy. In contrast to pCR rates, the L-containing arms exhibited greater proliferation reduction than T at this timepoint. Immune expression signatures increased in all arms after one cycle of HER2-targeted therapy, decreasing again by the time of surgery. Our results inform approaches to early assessment of sensitivity to anti-HER2 therapy and shed light on the role of the immune microenvironment in response to HER2-targeted agents.

e12095 Background: The aim of this study was to compare the value of 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) with CGFL/Curie nomogram to predict a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in women with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer treated by trastuzumab. Methods: Fifty-one women with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with trastuzumab plus taxane-based NAC, were retrospectively included from January 2005 to December 2015. For 18F-FDG PET/CT, the analyzed predictor was the maximum standardized uptake value of the primary tumor and axillary nodes after the first course of NAC (PET2.SUVmax). pCR was defined by no residual infiltrative tumor but in situ tumor was accepted. Accuracy of CGFL/Curie nomogram and PET2.SUVmax was evaluated measuring sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV). For each predictor, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was created. To evaluate the correlation between predictors, the Spearman coefficient was calculated. Combined prediction was evaluated testing predictor’s associations. Results: For CGFL/Curie nomogram’s performances, Se, Sp, PPV and NPV were respectively: 76% (CI95%: 58-90%), 57% (CI95%: 43-66%), 55% (CI95%: 42-65), 77% (CI95%: 59-90%). For PET2.SUVmax’s performances, Se, Sp, PPV and NPV were respectively: 67% (CI95%: 48-81%), 77% (CI95%: 64-97%), 67% (CI95%: 48-82%), 77% (CI95%: 64-87%). ROC curves for these predictors were similar; the areas under the curve were 0.6 (CI95%: 0.56-0.64) for PET2.SUVmax and 0.55 (CI95%: 0.50-0.59) for CGFL/Curie nomogram. Spearman coefficient was 0.23. Combined prediction was more efficient with Se at 80%, VPN at 76%, Sp at 78% and VPP at 81 %. Conclusions: CGFL/Curie nomogram and PET2.SUVmax were two efficient predictors of pCR in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Combined prediction has an improved accuracy.

Background: Although dual blockade HER2-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with excellent outcomes for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer, pertuzumab is not available to all patients due to cost. The optimal neoadjuvant chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer in the presence of a single HER2 blockade is unknown. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of epirubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel/trastuzumab (EC-TH) with docetaxel/carboplatin/trastuzumab (TCH) neoadjuvant setting for HER2-positive breast cancer under the single HER2 blockade. Methods: Patients with stage II-IIIC HER2-positive breast cancer were randomly assigned to either eight cycles of EC-TH every 3 weeks during all chemotherapy cycles, or six cycles of TCH every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) (defined as the absence of invasive tumor cells in breast and axilla, ypT0/is ypN0). Results: From May 2017 to November 2019, 140 patients were randomly assigned, and 135 patients were ultimately found evaluable for the primary endpoint. The pCR was recorded in 25 of 67 patients [37.3%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 25.8–50.0] in the EC-TH group and in 38 of 68 patients (55.9%, 95% CI, 43.3–67.9) in the TCH group ( p = 0.032). The most common adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia in 24 of 67 (35.8%) patients in the EC-TH group versus 27 of 68 (39.7%) in the TCH group ( p = 0.642), anemia in 33 of 67 (49.3%) patients in the EC-TH group versus 34 of 68 (50.0%) in the TCH group ( p = 0.931), and thrombocytopenia in five of 67 (7.5%) patients in the EC-TH group versus 17 of 68 (25.0%) in the TCH group ( p = 0.006). Conclusion: For patients receiving the single HER2 blockade trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer, TCH regimen might be a preferred neoadjuvant therapy. Trial registration: This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03140553) on 2 May 2017.

Trastuzumab as a first HER2-targeted therapy for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients was introduced in 1998. Although trastuzumab has opened a new avenue to treat patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and other types of cancer, some patients are not responsive or become resistant to this treatment. So far, several mechanisms have been suggested for the mode of action of trastuzumab; however, the findings regarding these mechanisms are controversial. In this review, we aimed to provide a detailed insight into the various mechanisms of action of trastuzumab.
