Original Cohort

Background: Pyrotinib is a novel irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Evidence of the efficacy of pyrotinib-based treatments for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in patients exposed to lapatinib is limited.Methods: Ninety-four patients who received pyrotinib as a third- or higher-line treatment for HER2-positive MBC were included in this retrospective study. The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS). Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis were implemented to balance important patient characteristics between groups.Results: Thirty (31.9%) patients were pretreated with lapatinib and subsequently received pyrotinib as an anti-HER2 treatment, and 64 (68.1%) patients did not receive this treatment. The OS and PFS indicated a beneficial trend in lapatinib-naive group compared to lapatinib-treated group in either the original cohort (PFS: 9.02 vs 6.36 months, p = 0.05; OS: 20.73 vs 14.35 months, p = 0.08) or the PSM (PFS: 9.02 vs 6.08 months, p = 0.07; OS: 19.07 vs 18.00 months, p = 0.61) or IPTW (PFS: 9.90 vs 6.17 months, p = 0.05; OS: 19.53 vs 15.10 months, p = 0.08) cohorts. Subgroup analyses demonstrated lapatinib treatment-related differences in PFS in the premenopausal subgroup and the no prior trastuzumab treatment subgroup, but no significant differences were observed in OS.Conclusion: Pyrotinib-based therapy demonstrated promising effects in HER2-positive MBC patients in a real-world study, especially in lapatinib-naive patients, and also some activity in lapatinib-treated patients.

Oral Vinorelbine

BackgroundPyrotinib is a newly-developed irreversible pan-ErbB (erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog) receptor oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with promising efficacy in the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. The phase III PHOEBE study proved that pyrotinib plus capecitabine exceeded lapatinib plus capecitabine (LX) in PFS (p < 0.001). Oral vinorelbine is commonly used in combination with anti-HER2 treatment. However, no evidence was reported in terms of the real-world pattern, safety, and efficacy of pyrotinib plus vinorelbine (NP) compared with LX.MethodsMedical records were retrospectively evaluated for all HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients who experienced progression on prior trastuzumab-containing regimens (advanced setting) and taxane (any setting) and received NP or LX therapy from 2015 to 2021 in five institutions.ResultsA total of 224 patients were enrolled and evaluated, of which 132 (58.9%) patients received LX and 92 (41.1%) patients received NP. The median progression-free survival (mPFS) of NP group was significantly longer than that in LX group (8.3 vs 5.0 months, HR = 0.47 95% CI 0.34–0.65, p < 0.001). The advantage of NP over LX was seen both in patients with trastuzumab resistance (p < 0.001) and refractoriness (p = 0.004). The NP group had more diarrhea cases (23.9%) compared to the LX group (8.3%). Discontinuation rates in the two groups were similar.ConclusionsThis trial revealed the clinical practice of NP and LX treatment among HER2+ MBC patients pretreated with trastuzumab in China. More patients received LX than NP in real-world while the efficacy of NP exceeded LX in terms of PFS regardless of resistant status of trastuzumab. Although the NP group had more diarrhea cases, toxicities in both groups were acceptable.

Abstract Background Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer after taxane with trastuzumab and pertuzumab is standard therapy. However, treatment strategies beyond T-DM1 are still in development with insufficient evidence of their effectiveness. Here, we aimed to evaluate real-world treatment choice and efficacy of treatments after T-DM1 for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Methods In this multi-centre retrospective cohort study involving 17 hospitals, 325 female HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients whose post-T-DM1 treatment began between April 15, 2014 and December 31, 2018 were enrolled. The primary end point was the objective response rate (ORR) of post-T-DM1 treatments. Secondary end points included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), and overall survival (OS). Results The median number of prior treatments of post-T-DM1 treatment was four. The types of post-T-DM1 treatments included (1) chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (n = 102; 31.4%), (2) chemotherapy concomitant with trastuzumab (n = 78; 24.0%), (3), lapatinib with capecitabine (n = 63; 19.4%), and (4) others (n = 82; 25.2%). ORR was 22.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 18.1–28.0], DCR = 66.6% (95% CI 60.8–72.0), median PFS = 6.1 months (95% CI 5.3–6.7), median TTF = 5.1 months (95% CI 4.4–5.6), and median OS = 23.7 months (95% CI 20.7–27.4). Conclusion The benefits of treatments after T-DM1 are limited. Further investigation of new treatment strategies beyond T-DM1 is awaited for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients.

PURPOSE NALA (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01808573 ) is a randomized, active-controlled, phase III trial comparing neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), plus capecitabine (N+C) against lapatinib, a reversible dual TKI, plus capecitabine (L+C) in patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with ≥ 2 previous HER2-directed MBC regimens. METHODS Patients, including those with stable, asymptomatic CNS disease, were randomly assigned 1:1 to neratinib (240 mg once every day) plus capecitabine (750 mg/m2 twice a day 14 d/21 d) with loperamide prophylaxis, or to lapatinib (1,250 mg once every day) plus capecitabine (1,000 mg/m2 twice a day 14 d/21 d). Coprimary end points were centrally confirmed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). NALA was considered positive if either primary end point was met (α split between end points). Secondary end points were time to CNS disease intervention, investigator-assessed PFS, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), clinical benefit rate, safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). RESULTS A total of 621 patients from 28 countries were randomly assigned (N+C, n = 307; L+C, n = 314). Centrally reviewed PFS was improved with N+C (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.93; stratified log-rank P = .0059). The OS HR was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.72 to 1.07; P = .2098). Fewer interventions for CNS disease occurred with N+C versus L+C (cumulative incidence, 22.8% v 29.2%; P = .043). ORRs were N+C 32.8% (95% CI, 27.1 to 38.9) and L+C 26.7% (95% CI, 21.5 to 32.4; P = .1201); median DoR was 8.5 versus 5.6 months, respectively (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.33 to 0.74; P = .0004). The most common all-grade adverse events were diarrhea (N+C 83% v L+C 66%) and nausea (53% v 42%). Discontinuation rates and HRQoL were similar between groups. CONCLUSION N+C significantly improved PFS and time to intervention for CNS disease versus L+C. No new N+C safety signals were observed.

e12504 Background: Pertuzumab (P) , Trastuzumab (T) and Docetaxel (D) is standard first-line treatment in patients (pts) with HER2 + metastatic breast cancer (MBC). This multicenter retrospetive observational study was performed to evaluate the activity of P and T in combination with D or Paclitaxel (Tx) in real world HER2 + MBC pts. Methods: We identified HER2 + MBC pts treated with P, T and D or Ptx optionally followed by P, T and endocrine therapy (ET) maintenance in hormone positive (HR+) BC, in 17 Italian cancer centres between 09/2012 and 08/2016. Overall Survival (OS) and Progression Free Survival (PFS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. Log-rank test was used to assess differences between subgroups. Results: 191 pts were included in our analysis. Pts characteristics: median age 54 years (range 29-80); PS 0 in 127 (67%) pts and PS 1 in 54 (28%); 107 (56%) had visceral metastases (mts), 23 (12%) only bone mts and 28 (15%) brain mts, 130 (68%) were ER/PgR +. 76 pts (40%) were metastatic at diagnosis; 148 (78) were treated with D while 43 (22%) with Tx. The ORR was 78% (CI 95% 72-84), RC 18% and RP 60%, only 10 (5%) had PD. To date, of the 54 pts treated with ET maintenance, 26% had a further improvement of response (7 pts had RC). At median follow-up of 17 months (mo) (range 6- 52), median PFS was 20 mo (95% CI 14-26) and median OS at 2 years was 80%. No differences in PFS were found for age (p = 0.92), PS (p = 0.18), receptor status (p = 0.57), visceral mts (p = 0.54) and chemotherapy (cht) type (p = 0.47), whereas number of mts site (1 vs > 1) affected PFS (28 vs 16 mo, p = 0.002). Moreover median PFS in naïve pts and in pts pretreated with only cht was 28 mo (95% CI, 20-36) and 27 mo (95% CI, 16-38) respectively, whereas in pts pretreated with T it was 12 mo (95% CI 16-38 p 0.002). In HR+ pts ET maintenance together with P and T had an impact on PFS (28 vs 15 mo, p = 0.01). Conclusions: Our analysis confirms, in real world HER2 MBC pts, the efficacy of P, T and a taxane combination in first line treatment; in this population PFS was shorter in pts pretreated with T. ET maintenance in association with P and T in HR+ pts improved PFS. Data collection is ongoing and update results will be presented.

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.

Abstract The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src activation plays a role in the malignant progression of breast cancer, including development of endocrine therapy resistance and survival of bone metastases. This study investigated whether adding Src kinase inhibitor dasatinib to aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy improved outcomes in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Postmenopausal patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative MBC (0–1 prior chemotherapies and no prior AI for MBC) were eligible for this non-comparative, parallel group, phase-II study. Patients were randomized to letrozole (2.5 mg/day PO) alone or with dasatinib (100 mg/day PO). Patients with disease progression on letrozole alone could crossover to dasatinib plus continued letrozole. The primary endpoint was clinical-benefit-rate (CBR; complete response + partial response + stable disease ≥6 months). A total of 120 patients were randomized. The CBR of 71% (95% CI 58–83%) was observed with letrozole + dasatinib versus the projected CBR of the combination of 56%. The CBR of 66% (95% CI 52–77%) with letrozole alone also exceeded the projected CBR of 39% with letrozole alone. The CBR was 23% in the crossover arm of letrozole plus dasatinib in patients progressing on letrozole alone. Median progression-free survival with the combination was 20.1 months and 9.9 months with letrozole alone. Letrozole plus dasatinib was well tolerated, although 26% of patients required dasatinib dose reductions. In this non-comparative phase-II trial, the CBR of 71% and the median PFS of 20.1 months with letrozole + dasatinib are encouraging and suggest that dasatinib may inhibit the emergence of acquired resistance to AI therapy.
