23P - CDK4/6 inhibition and endocrine therapy (ET) in the HER2-enriched subtype (HER2-E) in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC): a retrospective analysis of real-world data

Abstract

Background

The HER2-E subtype within HR+/HER2- ABC represents 10-25% and is characterized by poor prognosis. In the MONALEESA program, ribociclib + ET was found highly active in this subtype compared to ET. Here, we explored the prognostic and predictive value of HER2-E in patients (pts) treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) + ET in the real-world setting.

Methods

This is a retrospective study of 144 consecutive pts with HR+/HER2- ABC treated with a CDK4/6i + ET in the first line setting from 2014-2020 in Hospital 12 de Octubre (Madrid) and Clinic of Barcelona. Research-based PAM50 was performed in FFPE tumors collected before CDK4/6i (primary tumors or metastatic biopsies). Univariate and multivariable cox model progression-free survival (PFS) analyses were performed adjusting for the presence of visceral or “de novo” disease, menopausal status and performance status.

Results

114 pts (79%) had PAM50 data (50% primary/50% metastatic), and 47%/46%/7% received palbociclib/ribociclib/abemaciclib. Subtype distribution: Luminal A (33%), Luminal B (37%), HER2-E (19%), normal-like (8%) and Basal-like (5%). Median PFS for HER2-E disease was 7.4 months (mo) (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.0-22.0) and 21.1 mo (95% CI 16.6-31.3) for non-HER2-E disease (adjusted hazard ratio [aHRatio]=2.38, p=0.010). Median OS for HER2-E disease was 30.9 months (mo) (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.2-not reached [NR]) and NR (95% CI 47.2-NR) for non-HER2-E disease (aHRatio=4.39, p=0.021). Although exploratory and statistically non-significant, the PFS HRatio estimates of ribociclib vs palbociclib/abemaciclib in Luminal A, Luminal B and HER2-E subtype were 0.88, 0.90 and 0.44, respectively. Finally, the overall response rate of ribociclib in Luminal A/B and HER2-E disease was 40.5% and 42.9% vs 36.8% and 25.0% with palbociclib/abemaciclib.

Conclusions

In a real-world setting, we confirmed the poor prognosis of the HER2-E subtype in HR+/HER2- ABC. Despite the limitations, our results support the observation from the ML program where ribociclib in combination with ET was particularly active in the HER2-E subtype.

109P - Subsequent therapies after progressing to CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) in hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC)

Abstract

Background

There is limited data in the real world setting regarding the effectiveness of subsequent lines of treatment after progressing to CDK4/6i. The optimal therapeutic sequence is still unknown and predictors are needed.

Methods

This is a retrospective single-center study of 99 consecutive patients (pts) with HR+/HER2- ABC who progressed to CDK4/6i + endocrine therapy (ET) in the 1st or 2nd line setting between 05/2015-01/2021. Research-based PAM50 subtyping using the nCounter platform was performed in tumor samples collected before CDK4/6i. Median progression free survival (mPFS) and overall survival (mOS) were calculated using the Kaplan Meier method.

Results

mPFS with CDK4/6i in 1st line (59%) was 10.4 months (m) and 11.7m in 2nd line (41%). At the time of the analysis, 71% of patients had progressed to the subsequent line. mPFS and mOS after CDK4/6i were 5.3 and 19.6m, respectively. No correlation was observed between previous PFS on CDK4/6i and mPFS (p=0.74). mPFS with chemotherapy (CT) (45%) was 6.4m; with ET alone (18%), 2.9m; with ET + everolimus (eve) (10%), 5.1m; with PIK3CA inhibitors + ET (9%), 5.4m; and with other CDK4/6i + ET (3%), 9.1m. Fourteen percent of pts did not receive any subsequent treatment. Responses were only observed with CT (12/44), eve + ET (1/10) and CDK4/6i re-treatment (2/3). PAM50 data was available for 75 pts (75%). Luminal A (30%) showed a mPFS of 6.4m and mOS was not reached; Luminal B (33%), 7.6 and 42.1m; HER2-enriched (19%), 1.8 and 11.6m; Basal-like (10%), 7.9 and 11.5m. Luminal vs. non-luminal disease with ET had a mPFS of 2.9 and 3.7m (p=0.99); with target therapies + ET, 13.8 and 1.7m (p=0.026) and with ET 7.0 and 6.1m (p=0.094). Pts who showed progression to CDK4/6i as the best response (n=19) had a mPFS of 1.7m when treated with ET combinations (n=4) and 8.1m with CT (n=15).

Conclusions

Our exploratory results show limited benefit with post-CDK4/6i therapies, independently from previous PFS. PAM50 subtype remains prognostic in this context. Primary CDK4/6i refractory tumors might benefit more from CT than ET.

177P - COVID-19 pandemic impact in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients BCP at a 3rd level hospital

Abstract

Background

On March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Worldwide, health authorities recommended limiting elective surgeries, diagnostic procedures and non-urgent face-to-face consultations. The full range of consequences of these restrictive measures in cancer diagnosis has not yet been well documented in Spain. Here, we report the impact of these disruptions in the diagnosis of breast cancer at our institution.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study comparing new breast cancer diagnosis at the medical oncology department in a tertiary center in 2019 and 2020. Data corresponding to clinical-pathological features at diagnosis was collected from clinical records. Categorical variables were compared using the Fisher’s exact test and chi-square. Normally-distributed continuous variables were compared using two sample-t-tests. P values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results

In 2020, there were 210 new BCP, which represent a 26% decrease compared to 2019 (n=285). The overall number of screening mamograms (SM) decreased from 13041 in 2019 to 8239 in 2020 (37%), resulting in 46% fewer new diagnosis in this group (57 in 2019 vs 31 in 2020). Diagnoses made after referral from other hospital services were also reduced (40 in 2019 vs 23 in 2020, 42% reduction). Smaller reductions were observed in new breast cancer patients referred from other hospitals (19%) and from primary care centers (13%). Diagnoses at stage I, were significantly reduced by 47% (n=135 in 2019 vs n=71 in 2020) and in stage II by 18% (n=108 in 2019 vs n=89 in 2020). Stage III diagnoses were increased by 30% (n=23 in 2019 vs n=30 in 2020) and in stage IV by 11%, although the absolute number of patients was similar in both subgroups (n=18 in 2019 vs n=20 in 2020) (p=0.0068).

Conclusions

Suspension of SM and limited outpatient consultations have contributed to diagnostic delays. Accordingly, higher proportion of patients presented with locally advanced disease. These delays are expected to have an impact in breast cancer specific survival in the coming years. Therefore, our findings should bring awareness about the importance of defining measures to prevent COVID pandemic impact on other diseases.
