177P - Low HER2 expression does not influence prognosis in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer: results from an international, multicenter analysis coordinated by the Austrian Group Medical Tumor Therapy (AGMT) (ID 185)

Abstract

Background

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, new treatment options are urgently needed. About 35% of triple-negative primary tumors show a low expression of HER2 (HER2-low), a potential target for anti-HER2-drugs currently under investigation. In contrast to early breast cancer, little is known about the frequency and the prognostic value of HER2-low in metastatic TNBC.

Methods

In this international, multicenter analysis, we retrospectively evaluated TNBC patients from five European countries (Austria, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain). Triple-negativity had to be shown in a metastatic site or in the primary breast tumor diagnosed simultaneously or within 3 years prior to metastatic disease. HER2-low was defined as immunohistochemically (IHC) 1+ or 2+ and lack of HER2 gene amplification measured by in-situ hybridization. HER2-0 was defined as IHC 0+. Univariable survival probabilities were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Multivariable hazard ratios were estimated by Cox regression models.

Results

In total, 691 patients, diagnosed between Jan/2006 and Feb/2021, were evaluable. The incidence of HER2-low was 32.0% (95%CI 28.5-35.5%), with similar proportions in samples from metastatic sites (n=265; 29.8%; 95%CI 24.3-35.3%) and primary tumors (n=425; 33.4%; 95%CI 28.9-37.9%; P=0.324). Median OS in HER2-low and HER2-0 TNBC was 18.6 months (95% CI 16.5-20.3) and 16.1 months (95% CI 14.5-18.6), respectively, which was not statistically significantly different (HR 1.00; 95%CI 0.83-1.19; P=0.969). Similarly, in multivariable analysis HER2-low had no significant impact on OS (HR 0.95; 95%CI 0.79-1.13; P=0.545). In addition, we did not identify a difference in prognosis between HER2 IHC 0/1+ and IHC 2+ tumors (median OS 16.8 vs. 18.2 months; HR 0.89; 95%CI 0.69-1.17; P=0.414).

Conclusions

In this dataset of metastatic TNBC, the largest published until now, the frequency of HER2-low was 32.0%, which is similar as reported in early TNBC populations. In contrast to the early stages, HER2-low did not influence OS in metastatic TNBC.

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.
