16P - Understanding the biologic determinants of ribociclib efficacy in breast cancer
Abstract
Background
Ribociclib improves survival in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (BC). Deeper understanding of the biology associated with ribociclib efficacy is needed, especially within the HER2-enriched (HER2-E) subtype given recent analysis of MONALEESA program. Here, we performed gene expression (GE) analysis with/without ribociclib monotherapy in BC patient-derived xenografts (PDX).
Methods
Eighteen PDXs representative of HR+/HER2- (n=11, 61%), HER2+ (n=6, 33%) and triple-negative (n=1, 6%) BC were treated with ribociclib monotherapy (75 mg/kg/day). The % change in tumor volume from baseline was calculated at day 35. RNA was obtained from flash-frozen tumors at baseline and day 12. PAM50 GE was analyzed by nCounter and associated with tumor response (as a continuous variable) using quantitative Statistical Analysis Microarrays (SAM). Differential GE during ribociclib treatment was identified using two-class paired SAM. All SAM used a false-discovery rate<5%.
Results
Baseline PAM50 subtype distribution was Luminal B (44%), HER2-E (33%) and Basal-like (B-L) (22%). HER2-E and Luminal B PDXs showed a statistically significant higher response to ribociclib (mean change in volume >40% and >140%), than B-L (>660%). Baseline GE analysis identified 6 genes highly expressed in responders (FOXA1, ERBB2, GRB7, MLPH, GPR160 and CXXC5), and 7 lower expressed genes (SFRP1, KRT17, MYC, CDH3, KRT5, MIA and KRT14). Paired GE analyses across PDXs identified 12 upregulated genes during treatment, including estrogen activation-related genes (ESR1, PGR, FOXA1, MAPT or BLVRA); and 12 downregulated genes, including proliferation-related genes (MKI67 or KIF2C) and HER2-E-related genes (ERBB2 or TMEM45B). Similar results were obtained with HR+/HER2- PDXs when analyzed separately.
Conclusions
In BC PDXs, B-L biology associates with lower response to ribociclib monotherapy than Luminal or HER2-E. Ribociclib induces a luminal phenotype with high GE of estrogen-regulated genes and low GE of proliferation genes, a biological switch that could explain the better efficacy of ribociclib in the endocrine therapy (ET)-resistant HER2-E subtype observed in clinical trials when combined with ET.

130TiP - SOLTI-1303 PATRICIA II randomized phase II trial of palbociclib plus trastuzumab and endocrine therapy (ET) versus treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in metastatic HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive (HER2+/HR+) breast cancer (BC) with PAM50 luminal intrinsic subtype
Abstract
Background
PATRICIA phase II trial showed that Palbociclib in combination with trastuzumab is safe and exhibits promising survival outcomes in trastuzumab pretreated HER2+/HR+ advanced breast cancer with a PAM50 Luminal A or B subtype (Ciruelos E. et al, CCR 2020). Based on these results, PATRICIA II was designed to include only patients with HER2+/HR+, PAM50 Luminal A/B tumors to receive palbociclib, trastuzumab and ET versus treatment of physician’s choice (TPC).
Trial design
PATRICIA II is a randomized open-label, adaptive design, phase II study. Patients must have centrally confirmed HER2+/HR+ and PAM50 Luminal A or B tumors and have received at least 1 (and no more than 4) prior lines of anti-HER2 regimens for locally advanced or metastatic BC. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive trastuzumab plus palbociclib at a standard dose of 125 mg/day orally 3 weeks on/ 1 week off and ET (Cohort C1) or TPC (cohort C2). ET options in cohort 1 are either an aromatase inhibitor, fulvestrant or tamoxifen +/- ovarian suppression. TPC options in cohort C2 are T-DM1 or chemotherapy (gemcitabine, vinorelbine, capecitabine, eribulin, paclitaxel or docetaxel) plus trastuzumab. Stratification factors include number of previous regimens for advanced or metastatic BC (1-2 vs 3-4) and the presence of visceral disease (yes vs no). Primary endpoint is to compare the progression-free survival between two arms. The study has an 80% power with two-sided alpha=0.05 to detect a HR of 0.62 in favor of the palbociclib cohort. Secondary endpoints include response rate, overall survival, safety, and quality of life. Tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected for biomarker analyses. An estimated total of 516 patients will be screened to include 232 patients with HER2+/HR+ PAM50 Luminal A or B tumors. The recruitment is ongoing in 20 sites in Spain and as of February 3rd, 2021, 107 patients were screened and 30 were enrolled in the trial.
