Introduction. The presence of a germinal BRCA mutation occurs in 3–4% of all breast cancer (BC) patients with various biological subtypes, but significantly with a high frequency in patients with a triple negative biological subtype (in 10–20% of cases). For the treatment of patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer associated with gBRCA mutation, the effectiveness of biologically targeted drugs from the group of PARP inhibitors (olaparib and talazoparib) has been proven.Purpose. Comparison of the results of our experience with the use of talazoparib in patients with HER2-gBRCA+ + mBC with the data of the EMBRACA registration study.Materials and methods. As part of the multicenter compassionate use program (CUP) with the support of Pfizer, 24 patients with HER2-negative metastatic gBRCA-associated mutation metastatic breast cancer (HER2-gBRCA+ breast cancer) received biologically targeted therapy with the PARP inhibitor talazoparib at a standard oral dose of 1 mg per day for vital indications . The average age of patients with HER2-gBRCAm+ breast cancer was 50 years (29–90 years).Results. Objective response (OR) was registered in 29% of cases, disease control (OR+stabilization) – in 71% of cases. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.5 months (95% CI [3–10]). Objective response, disease control, and median PFS were evaluated depending on the biological subtype, the number of lines of previous therapy, and the presence of platinum-containing agents in the anamnesis.Objective response and disease control were evaluated depending on the biological subtype: in patients with ER+HER2-mBC versus patients with triple negative subtype, OR was 33% vs 22%, and disease control was 83% vs 61%, respectively. In the presence of < 3 vs ≥ 3 lines of therapy for metastatic disease in the anamnesis, OR was 31% vs 12.5%, disease control – 75% vs 50% of cases, respectively. In the presence or absence of platinum-containing agents in the anamnesis, OR was observed in 22% vs 33% of cases, and disease control – 67% vs 67%, respectively.In patients with the luminal subtype versus patients with the triple negative subtype, the PFS was 9 months vs 5 months, respectively (HR = 0.705; 95% CI [0.231–2.147]; p = 0.5208). Median PFS in the presence of <3 vs ≥3 lines of therapy for metastatic disease in the anamnesis was 9 months vs 4 months, respectively (HR = 4,216; 95% CI [1,334–13,327]; p = 0.0056). In the presence or absence of platinum-containing agents in previous lines of therapy 5 months vs 9.5 months, respectively (HR =1.484; 95% CI [0.48–4.582]; p = 0.4750).During the treatment with talazoparib adverse events of the 3rd-4th grades were observed in 5 patients (20,8%). These include moderate and severe anemia in 3 patients (12.5%), thrombocytopenia in 1 patient (4%), and neutropenia in 1 patient (4%). The majority of patients (79,5%), which received talazoparib, did not require dose adjustment. The need to reduce the dose to 0.75 mg was noted in 3 patients (12.5%), to 0.5 mg – in 2 patients (8%). Hemotransfusion was performed in 3 patients. For effective therapy safety management regular monitoring of blood parameters is necessary.Conclusion. Thus, targeted therapy with talazoparib is an effective treatment option for HER2-gBRCA+ mBC.

Abstract Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression or gene amplification is an important predictive biomarker for identifying patients with breast cancer, who may benefit from HER2-targeted therapy. However, little is known about the molecular landscape and efficacy of HER2-targeted therapy in patients with HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer. We analysed the HER2 mutation features of 1184 patients with invasive breast cancer. In addition, a single-arm, prospective, phase-II study (NCT03412383) of pyrotinib was conducted in patient with metastatic HER2 amplification-negative, mutation-positive breast cancer. Peripheral blood was collected from each patient and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) sequencing was performed using a 1021 gene panel. HER2 mutations were detected in 8.9% (105/1184) of patients. The HER2 amplification-positive patients had a higher mutation frequency than the HER2 amplification-negative patients (19.5% vs. 4.8%, P < 0.001). A multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that patients with HER2 mutations had a shorter progression-free survival (PFS) than HER2 wild-type patients (median PFS 4.7 months vs. 11.0 months, hazard ratio 2.65, 95% confidence interval 1.25–5.65, P = 0.011). Ten HER2 amplification-negative, mutation-positive patients who received pyrotinib monotherapy were ultimately included in the efficacy analysis. The median PFS was 4.9 months. The objective response rate (complete response + partial response) was 40.0% and the clinical benefit rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease over 24 weeks) was 60%. In conclusion, a HER2 gene mutation analysis is potentially useful to identify biomarkers of trastuzumab resistance in HER2 amplification-positive patients. Patients with HER2-mutated, non-amplified metastatic breast cancers may benefit from pyrotinib.

1045 Background: Triple-negative breast cancer cells are unable to repair double stranded DNA breaks and hence have sensitivity to platinum agents. The combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel administered weekly is active and well tolerated. Bevacizumab when added to paclitaxel prolonged progression-free survival in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We investigated the activity and toxicity of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and bevacizumab in triple-negative MBC. Methods: The study’s primary objective was to estimate the objective response rate [complete (CR) + partial remission (PR)] and toxicity of the combination in women with triple negative MBC who had no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. The study followed the Simon's two-stage optimal design with 16 patients initially evaluated for response and toxicity and then expanding to a total of 46 patients. The null hypothesis that the objective response rate is ≤40% could be rejected if the number of CR/PR was ≥23. Paclitaxel 90mg/m2and Carboplatin AUC 2 were administered on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks, preceded by bevacizumab 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 15. Results: 45 women with triple negative MBC have been recruited thus far. Of them, 12 were premenopausal and 27 had prior (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy. The median cycles administered were 5 (range 1-8). Of 38 evaluable patients we observed 7 CR, 22 PR’s for an objective response rate 76%. Seven patients achieved stable disease, while two had disease progression. Median duration of response was 8.1 months with median time to progression 9.2 months. Neutropenia grade 3 and 4 was experienced by 13 and 6 patients, respectively, with one toxic death due to febrile neutropenia. Other grade 3 toxicities included anemia/neurotoxicity (n=2), thrombocytopenia/diarrhea (n=1). Conclusions: Although still ongoingthe study has achieved the primary objective of demonstrating clinical activity for weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel in combination with bevacizumab in triple negative MBC. We believe that this triplet combination merits further evaluation in this patient population for whom there is no standard treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT00691379.

PURPOSE: Overexpression of the HER2 protein occurs in 25% to 30% of human breast cancers and leads to a particularly aggressive form of the disease. Efficacy and safety of recombinant humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody as a single agent was evaluated in women with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer that had progressed after chemotherapy for metastatic disease.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred twenty-two women, with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer that had progressed after one or two chemotherapy regimens, were enrolled. Patients received a loading dose of 4 mg/kg intravenously, followed by a 2-mg/kg maintenance dose at weekly intervals.RESULTS: Study patients had advanced metastatic disease and had received extensive prior therapy. A blinded, independent response evaluation committee identified eight complete and 26 partial responses, for an objective response rate of 15% in the intent-to-treat population (95% confidence interval, 11% to 21%). The median duration of response was 9.1 months; the median duration of survival was 13 months. The most common adverse events, which occurred in approximately 40% of patients, were infusion-associated fever and/or chills that usually occurred only during the first infusion, and were of mild to moderate severity. These symptoms were treated successfully with acetaminophen and/or diphenhydramine. The most clinically significant adverse event was cardiac dysfunction, which occurred in 4.7% of patients. Only 1% of patients discontinued the study because of treatment-related adverse events.CONCLUSION: Recombinant humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, administered as a single agent, produces durable objective responses and is well tolerated by women with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Side effects that are commonly observed with chemotherapy, such as alopecia, mucositis, and neutropenia, are rarely seen.

PURPOSE A phase II study of Taxol (paclitaxel; Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, Princeton, NJ) as initial chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer was conducted. Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) was used to ameliorate myelosuppression, the anticipated dose-limiting toxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients with bidimensionally measurable breast cancer who had not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease were treated. Taxol was administered at 250 mg/m2 as a continuous 24-hour intravenous (i.v.) infusion every 21 days. rhG-CSF was administered at 5 micrograms/kg/d subcutaneously on days 3 through 10. RESULTS Objective responses were observed in 16 of 26 assessable patients (62%; 95% confidence interval, 41% to 80%). There were three (12%) complete responses (CRs) and 13 (50%) partial responses (PRs). Ten of 16 patients (63%) who had received prior adjuvant chemotherapy responded, which included one CR and four PRs among eight patients who had received prior doxorubicin-containing therapy. Responses were observed in all sites of metastatic disease. The median time to first objective response was 5 weeks (range, 1 to 14). Administration of rhG-CSF was associated with a short duration of neutropenia (median, 2 days with absolute neutrophil count < 500 cells/microL). Eight of 26 patients (31%) who received more than one course received subsequent therapy without dose reduction. One hundred seventy-eight cycles of treatment were administered, with a median of six cycles per patient (range, one to 19). Eight courses (4.5%) were associated with admissions for neutropenic fever. Twenty-two patients (79%) did not require admission for neutropenic fever. Treatment was well tolerated. Adverse effects included generalized alopecia in all patients. Myalgias, arthralgias, and peripheral neuropathy were mild. No hypersensitivity reactions and no cardiac toxicity were observed. CONCLUSION Taxol is highly active as initial chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer. Administration of rhG-CSF reduced the incidence, depth, and duration of neutropenia, compared with published prior experience. Further studies of Taxol in breast cancer, including combinations with other active agents, are clearly warranted.

Aim. The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of eribulin in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC) in Russian clinical practice. Materials and methods. The analysis included 459 patients with advanced BC from 44 federal and municipal medical clinics in Russia and received at least 2 courses of treatment with eribulin in accordance with the registered indications for drug. The average age of women was 56 years (between 29 and 81 years), 83% of patients had HER2-negative tumor subtype (49.9% - luminal BC and 33.1% - triple-negative BC) HER2-positive biological tumor subtype was registered in 17% of patients. Visceral metastases were diagnosed in 73% of patients and three-zone and multiple zone metastases were diagnosed in 41.6% of cases. The median number of prior lines of therapy in patients with disseminated disease was 2; anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy was applied in 94.3% of patients, and 38.1% of patients were recived CT plus capecitabine. Standard treatment regimen with eribulin was cotinuing (1.4 mg/m² as a 2-5-minute intravenous infusion administrated on days 1, 8 of a 21-day cycle) until disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or impossibility of the drug administration for any other reason. We estimated the efficacy and safety of treatment with eribulin in Russian patients with HER2-negative BC. Results. Objective response rate was achieved in 20.5% of cases, complete response rate was in 3.2%, partial - 17.3%, and the stable disease rate was marked in 52.7% of women, and in 19.7% of these cases was prolonged more than 6 months. The frequency of objective response was higher in luminal BC group compared with triple-negative BC: 23.5% vs 15.8%; tumor growth control 76.9% vs. 67.8%, respectively; p

Abstract Background We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics and survival of breast cancer lung metastases (BCLM) patients at initial diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the Han population. Methods We attained clinical data of 3155 MBC patients initially diagnosed between April 2000 and September 2019 from the China National Cancer Center and finally included 2263 MBC patients in this study, among which 809 patients presented with lung metastases at first MBC diagnosis. The risk factors for BCLM were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis and the prognostic factors of BCLM patients were assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results Patients with triple-negative subtype (42.3%) harbored the highest incidence proportions of lung metastases. Age ≥ 50 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 2, M1, hormone receptor-negative (HR-)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2) + subtype, triple-negative subtype and disease-free survival (DFS) > 2 years were remarkably associated with higher incidence of lung metastases, while invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and bone metastases were significantly correlated with lower odds of lung metastases at diagnosis. The median survival of BCLM patients was 41.7 months, with triple-negative subtype experiencing the worst prognosis of 26.8 months. ECOG 2, triple-negative subtype, liver metastases, multi-metastatic sites and DFS ≤ 2 years were significantly correlated with poor survival of BCLM patients. Conclusions Our study provides essential information on clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of BCLM patients at initial diagnosis of MBC in China.

570 Background: The differences in country-specific treatment patterns across Europe for Stage IV metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients have not been extensively studied. This study compared treatment choices, by biomarker status, between various lines of therapy (LOT) in clinical practice in the EU-5 countries among newly diagnosed stage IV mBC patients. Methods: The IMS LifeLink Oncology Analyzer (OA) database, based upon practicing oncologist surveys, was used to identify mBC patients aged ≥21 and surveyed between July 2008 – June 2010. The database encompasses over 100,000 unique patients per year, treated by nearly 3,000 physicians, including nearly 60,000 patients and 800 physicians in the EU5. Results: A total of 152,311 mBC patients were included in the study. In Italy, 30.8% of HER2+/HR+ patients received chemotherapy following mBC diagnosis, as compared to only 8.6% in France. The majority of these patients in France received chemotherapy plus a HER2 targeted therapy (58.2%) as their first treatment. For HER2+/ HR- patients, chemotherapy plus a HER2 targeted therapy was provided to the majority of the patients in France (70.8%), with the UK providing this regimen to the fewest patients with this biomarker status (44.9%). Monotherapy hormonal regimens were given as a first LOT for HER2-/HR+ patients (UK 64.7%, Spain 52.8%). Triple negative patients received chemotherapy (UK 84.1% as compared to France 57.3%) or chemotherapy plus bevacizumab (France 36.6% as compared to UK 0.9%) as a first treatment. Conclusions: Thisstudy confirmed that chemotherapy combined with HER2-targeted therapy was the most frequent initial treatment option for HER2+ patients, while the vast majority of ER/PR+ patients were initially treated by hormonal therapy, suggesting that a personalized medicine approach has been accepted in the EU-5. However, the use of HER2-targeted therapy and bevacizumab greatly varied; while they were most frequently used in France, they were least frequently opted for in the UK. Also, fewer treatment options existed for triple negative patients and patients with HER2+ disease following trastuzumab treatment.

Abstract Background: The incidence and survival of breast cancer lung metastases (BCLM) patients at initial diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remain poorly identified in China.Methods: We attained clinical data of 3161 MBC patients initially diagnosed between December 1991 and September 2019 from the China National Cancer Center and finally included 2263 MBC patients in this study, among which 809 patients presented with lung metastases at first MBC diagnosis. The risk factors for BCLM were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis and the prognostic factors of BCLM patients were assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses.Results: Patients with triple-negative subtype (42.3%) harbored the highest incidence proportions of lung metastases. Age ≥ 50 years, ECOG 2 and triple-negative subtype were remarkably associated with higher incidence of lung metastases, while N3, liver and bone metastases were significantly correlated with lower odds of lung metastases at diagnosis. The median survival of BCLM patients was 41.7 months, with triple-negative subtype experiencing the worst prognosis of 26.8 months. ECOG 2, N3, HR-/HER2+ subtype, triple-negative subtype, liver metastases and bone metastases were significantly correlated with poor survival of BCLM patients.Conclusions: Our study provides essential information on clinicopathological features, incidence and survival outcomes of BCLM patients at initial diagnosis of MBC in China.

1093 Background: Irinotecan (I) and capecitabine (X) have demonstrated single agent activity against breast cancer by different antitumor mechanism without cross-resistance. To assess the objective response rate (RR) of IX combination in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts) was the primary end point. Methods: Anthracycline- and taxane-pretreated pts with measurable disease, age ≥ 18 years, adequate organ functions, and ECOG performance score (PS) 0–2 were eligible. Sample size of 36 was calculated with Simon's two stage minimax design. Pts received I 80 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 8 and X 1,000 mg/m2 orally twice daily on days 1–14 of every 21-day cycle. Results: Between September 2006 and April 2008, 36 pts with median age of 50 years (range, 28–71) were enrolled. Median follow-up was 17 months (range, 8.3+ - 27.7+). Among 35 evaluable pts excluding 1-consent withdrawal, 86% received at least one prior chemotherapy for MBC; 20% had stage IV disease with 66% lung/37% liver metastases; 80% had PS 0–1; 77% had hormone receptor (HR) positive tumors, 20% triple negative disease and 3% HER-2 positive tumors. Overall RR was 60% (95% CI, 43.5–74.5) with median response duration of 6.3 months (range, 1.0+-17.1+); 2 CR (6%), 19 PR (54%), 8 SD (23%), and 6 PD (17%) with similar RR between HR+ (63%) versus triple negative disease (57%). Median survival was not reached with 76% estimated survival at 1-year, and median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.3 months (range, 0.7–21.1+). Pts received a median of 8 cycles of treatment (range, 1–26+). G1, G2, and G3 hand-foot syndrome were observed in 34%, 17%, and 0%, respectively. NCI grade ≥ 3 adverse events were: neutropenia (60%); asthenia, diarrhea, and vomiting (9%, each); transaminase elevation and febrile neutropenia (6%, each); abdominal pain, anorexia, fatigue, myalgia, and nausea (3%, each). Conclusions: I and X combination by this schedule and doses is highly efficacious in anthracyline- and taxane-pretreated MBC pts with manageable toxicities. Further investigation of this combination in phase III trials is warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
