IntroductionPyrotinib plus capecitabine has been approved in China for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Meanwhile, vinorelbine is another important chemotherapy option for MBC available in oral and intravenous forms. Thus, pyrotinib plus vinorelbine may represent a new treatment option, particularly for patients with failed capecitabine treatment. This study reported the first real-world data for pyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy in HER2+ MBC.MethodsHER2+ MBC patients (n = 97) treated with pyrotinib plus vinorelbine in six institutions across China from May 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and toxicity profiles were determined.ResultsSixty-seven percent of patients received more than two lines of systematic therapy. Nearly all patients (97.9%) had received trastuzumab and 50.5% were administered lapatinib. When combined with pyrotinib, 74.2% received oral and 25.8% received intravenous vinorelbine. Median PFS (mPFS) was 7.8 (range, 4.7–10.8) months for all patients. The mPFS in patients administered pyrotinib as second-line therapy and third-or-higher-line therapy were 12.0 and 6.4 months, respectively. Patients who received pyrotinib plus oral or intravenous vinorelbine had similar mPFS (7.8 vs. 6.4 months, p = 0.871). The 23 patients with brain metastases had mPFS of 6.3 (range, 3.4–9.2) months. Lapatinib-naïve patients had significantly longer PFS than lapatinib-treated patients (10.8 months vs. 5.6 months, p = 0.020). Median OS was not achieved. The ORR for 96 patients was 34.3%. Common grade 3 and 4 adverse events were diarrhea (22.7%), neutropenia (7.2%), and leukopenia (4.1%).ConclusionsPyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy demonstrated promising effects in HER2+ MBC with tolerable toxicity, particularly in patients with second-line treatment and without prior lapatinib treatment, as well as in patients with brain metastases. Oral vinorelbine is a useful alternative to the intravenous form when combined with pyrotinib.Clinical Trial Registration[ClinicalTrials.gov], identifier [NCT04517305].

Abstract Background: Real world data have the potential to demonstrate the applicability of the results of randomized studies in the general population. SUPER trial was conducted in order to assess the activity, the efficacy and the safety of the combination of pertuzumab, trastuzumab and chemotherapy in clinical practice.Material and methods: Patients diagnosed with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and treated with pertuzumab, trastuzumab and chemotherapy were accrued at 18 italian hospitals. Data were retrospectively collected in the time frame between pertuzumab availability in clinical practice and study approval in 2016, and prospectively collected thereafter. Results: Overall 342 HER2 positive mBC were accrued. 172 patients had relapsed disease and 56.4% of them received neo/adjuvant trastuzumab. 205 patients received docetaxel. Objective response rate was 76.3% (95%CI: 71.4–80.7). Median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 24.3 months (95% CI: 20.0–28.9) and 70.2 months (95% CI: 61.4–79.0) respectively. Triple positive patients treated with endocrine therapy in addition to pertuzumab and trastuzumab maintenance had a significant longer PFS and OS than patients who did not. mPFS was 31.2 months and 13 months respectively (HR=0.47; 95% CI: 0.33–0.66; p<0.001) and mOS was 72.3 months and 56.8 months respectively (HR=0.58; 95% CI: 0.36–0.92; p=0.02). Pretreatment with trastuzumab did not hamper the outcome. In addition, maintaining the dual blockade inhibition at disease progression with the same CT partner or alternative endocrine agent leading to further benefit.Conclusions: SUPER suggests that results of first-line treatment with pertuzumab, trastuzumab and chemotherapy in unselected patients are consistent with findings from CLEOPATRA trial.Moreover, as expected from real world evidence, new insights have emerged.

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.

Abstract Background Epertinib (S-222611) is a potent reversible inhibitor of HER2, EGFR and HER4. This trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antitumour activity of daily oral epertinib combined with trastuzumab (arm A), with trastuzumab plus vinorelbine (arm B) or with trastuzumab plus capecitabine (arm C), in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods Eligible patients, with or without brain metastases, had received prior HER2-directed therapy. A dose-escalation phase determined the tolerability of each combination and established a dose for further study. Further, patients were recruited to expansion cohorts in each of the 3 arms to further explore efficacy and safety. Results The recommended doses of epertinib were 600 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg in arms A, B and C, respectively. The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse event (AE) was diarrhoea in all arms, which was manageable with medical intervention and dose modification. The objective response rate (complete response [CR] plus partial response [PR]) in heavily pre-treated HER2-positive MBC patients at the recommended doses of epertinib combined with trastuzumab was 67% (N = 9), with trastuzumab plus vinorelbine was 0% (N = 5) and with trastuzumab plus capecitabine was 56% (N = 9). Notably, 4 of 6 patients previously treated with T-DM1 responded in the arm A expansion cohort (epertinib plus trastuzumab). In the arm C expansion cohort (epertinib plus trastuzumab plus capecitabine), 4 of 7 patients responded despite previous exposure to capecitabine. Measurable regression of brain metastases was observed in patients with CNS target lesions treated in both arms A and C. Conclusion We observed safety, tolerability and encouraging antitumour activity of epertinib combined with trastuzumab, or with trastuzumab plus capecitabine. This supports further evaluation of these combinations in patients with pre-treated HER2-positive MBC, with or without brain metastases.

e13010 Background: Based on the results reported in Emilia trial population, current guidelines consider TDM-1 the standard second-line therapy for HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. Despite that, there are no prospective studies supporting the efficacy of TDM-1 following trastuzumab (T) + pertuzumab (P) and taxane first-line treatment. Currently, only real-world data have investigated this sequence with controversial results Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of the available real world data to determine the efficacy of TDM-1 after first-line TP in HER2 positive MBC patients. We used a random-effect model to find differences in the rate of 1-year progression free survival (PFS) between TP pre-treated population and the phase III Emilia trial (T pre-treated population). Results: Seven studies were eligible, in three of them data were from sub-group population analysis. The meta-analysis showed a combined 1-years PFS risk difference for TDM-1 efficacy after TP in second or more lines of -0.122, with lower and upper limits of -0.253 and 0.010, respectively (p=0.07) , with low heterogeneity among studies (I2 < 0.0001, p =0.836). Considering the four studies on TDM-1 in second-line setting, 1-years PFS risk was -0.034 (95% CI -0.207 – 0,139; p=0.701) (I2 < 0.0001, p =0.91). Conclusions: Results from the meta-analysis show that the efficacy of TDM-1 after TP double-block seems to be similar to the previously reported in Emilia trial. In the second line setting, available data are not mature enough to confirm TDM-1 efficacy in TP pre-treated population. Currently, TP pretreated patients should receive TDM-1 as indicated in the guidelines.

Background: The aim of this project was to provide an expert opinion regarding anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy beyond second-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Methods: A group of experts discussed specific issues concerning anti-HER2 therapy in late-line settings in mBC. Results: Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) or dual HER2 blockade appeared to be good options for HER2-positive mBC after ≥ 2 HER2-targeted therapies. Once an objective response has been achieved with anti-HER2-containing therapy, the anti-HER2 agent can be continued until progression of the disease, unacceptable toxicity or patient decision. mBC treated with ≥ 3 consecutive lines of anti-HER therapy, ≥ 1 being a dual HER2 blockade and with early progression of disease during a fourth or later-line treatment, are clinically resistant to anti-HER therapy. For progression of metastasis in the brain after anti-HER2 therapy, lapatinib and chemotherapy appear to be a good alternative after best local treatment. Conclusions: Further clinical trials are needed to provide valuable knowledge about the best treatment options in the later settings of mBC.
