105P - CDK4/6 inhibitors in hormone receptor-positive, HER2 negative, locally advanced breast cancer (LABC): biological and clinical activity, and post-surgical approaches (ID 117)

Abstract

Background

Endocrine therapy (ET) combined with cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) represents an alternative to chemotherapy (CT) in patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) LABC. Limited data exist on the real world and effectiveness of CDK4/6i and the post-surgical treatment patterns in this setting.

Methods

Clinical and pathological data of consecutive pts with HR+/HER2- LABC treated with CDK4/6i + letrozole (+ ovarian suppression, if premenopausal) at the University “Federico II” and the National Cancer Institute “G. Pascale” (Naples, Italy) between July 2018 and July 2021 were collected. Study objectives included evaluation of clinical and pathologic responses, HR, HER2 and Ki67 expression in pre- and post-treatment tumor samples, post-surgical loco regional and systemic treatments.

Results

Fifty-nine pts (56% postmenopausal) were included in this study. Among these, 25 (42%), 29 (49%), and 5 (9%) pts received palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib, respectively. After a median duration of 7.5 months (range 1-16), 48 (81%) pts achieved an objective response and underwent surgery, however, no pathological complete response was detected. Three pts experienced disease progression during the treatment, while 8 pts were still under therapy at the time of this analysis. The mean expression of progesterone receptor and Ki67 significantly decreased in residual tumors compared to baseline (paired t-test P <0.001). After surgery, 24% of pts continued ET + CDK4/6i, 48% received anthracycline and/or taxane-based CT followed by ET, and 29% were treated with ET alone. Age <65 years, presence of residual disease >2 cm in breast and/or lymph node metastases after CDK4/6i were associated with CT use (chi-square t-test <0.05).

Conclusions

CDK4/6i + ET showed biological and clinical activity in HR+/HER2- LABC. Treatment of physician's choice in pts who achieved tumor down staging and conversion to surgery was not uniform, probably due to the lack of evidence-based recommendations. Further clinical investigations are needed to define the optimal treatment approach for HR+/HER2- LABC.

205TiP - ATRACTIB: A Phase 2 Trial of First-Line (1L) Atezolizumab (A) in Combination with Paclitaxel (P) and Bevacizumab (B) in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (mTNBC) (ID 213)

Abstract

Background

The IMpassion130 and KEYNOTE-355 trials have established a substantial benefit from adding an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) to 1L chemotherapy (CT) for mTNBC with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)–positive tumors. However, many patients (pts) still have a poor outcome with a high unmet medical need. Preclinical and small ongoing clinical studies in TNBC provided encouraging results on the synergism between ICIs, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted agents, and standard CT without adding significant toxicity. ATRACTIB is evaluating the safety and efficacy of A (anti-PD-L1 antibody) combined with P and B (a VEGF-targeted drug) as 1L regimen for mTNBC pts irrespective of PD-L1 status.

Trial design

ATRACTIB is an international, investigator-initiated, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 trial (NCT04408118). Pts aged ≥18 years, with unresectable locally advanced or mTNBC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–1, who had received no prior systemic therapy or ≥12 months since (neo)adjuvant taxane-based CT are eligible. Pts receive A (840 mg IV, days 1, 15) with P (90 mg/m2 IV, days 1, 8, 15), and B (10 mg/kg IV, days 1, 15) on each 28-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) as per RECIST v.1.1. Secondary efficacy endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate, time until response, response duration, overall survival, and best percentage change in the sum of the diameters of measurable tumors; safety and tolerability as per NCI-CTCAE v.5.0. Exploratory endpoints are PFS and ORR as per immune-related RECIST, and analysis of predictive biomarkers. The primary analysis consists of median PFS estimation (H0: ≤7 months; H1: ≥9.5 months) based on the exponential maximum likelihood estimation test. A sample size of 100 pts is needed to attain 80% power at a nominal one-sided α level of 5%. An interim analysis is planned for assessing the safety and feasibility in the first 20 pts who have completed a 3-month follow-up or reached the end of study. This trial was opened to accrual in October 2020.
