14P - Gut and oral microbiota profiling in patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) receiving pembrolizumab (P) plus eribulin (E): CALADRIO (ID 32)

Abstract

Background

Changes occurring in host-associated microbial communities (i.e. microbiota) may modulate responses to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. We previously showed that anti-programmed cell death 1 protein P added to microtubule-targeting chemotherapy E has an encouraging antitumor activity in HR+ MBC pts regardless of programmed death-ligand 1 status. The CALADRIO study assessed the impact of gut and oral microbiota on clinical outcome of pts from the KELLY trial.

Methods

The phase 2 KELLY trial investigated the efficacy and safety of P plus E in 44 pts with pre-treated, HR+, HER2-negative, locally recurrent inoperable or MBC (NCT03222856). Fecal and saliva samples were prospectively collected at baseline (BL), after 3 cycles, and end of treatment from a subset of pts. Tumor response was grouped into clinical benefit (CB; complete or partial responses, or stable disease [SD] ≥24 weeks) and no CB (SD <24 weeks or progressive disease) as per RECIST 1.1. Shotgun metagenomic and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to characterize fecal and saliva microbiota profiles, respectively. Microbiota data were analyzed using MEGAHIT, LEfSe, Wilcoxon ranked sum, and PERMANOVA methods.

Results

A total of 58 fecal and 68 saliva samples were collected. Overall P+E did not cause significant gut or oral microbiota perturbations, indicating any drug-related microbial toxicity. Across all pts, dominant gut microbiota genera included Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium, with a common oral microbe, Prevotella, also present. LeFSe analysis suggested CB was driven in part by gut-associated Bacteroides fragilis and oral-associated Streptococcus with an abundance ≥50%. Pts experiencing CB had gut and oral microbiota richness at BL and a decrease over treatment potentially related to the antibiotic usage. Several typical oral microbes in both saliva and fecal samples were also observed, suggesting a potential translocation along the oral-gut axis.

Conclusions

These preliminary findings suggest potential avenues for downstream microbiota pts stratification before commencement of treatment. Further investigation is required in larger cohorts.

93MO - Optimal 18F-FDG PET/CT (FDG-PET) cut-off for pathological complete response (pCR) prediction in HER2-positive [HER2+] early breast cancer (EBC) patients (pts) treated with neoadjuvant trastuzumab (T) and pertuzumab (P) in PHERGain trial (ID 8)

Abstract

Background

PHERGain trial investigated the potential of metabolic imaging to identify candidates for chemotherapy (CT) de-escalation in HER2-positive, stage I-IIIA, invasive, operable breast cancer with at least one breast lesion evaluable by FDG-PET. Based on data from NeoALTTO study, FDG-PET “responders” were defined as those pts with maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) reduction of at least 40% in all their target lesions after two cycles of T and P. Of the 285 patients included in T+P arm, 227 pts were FDG-PET responders and received a total of 8 cycles of T+P. pCR, defined as pT0/isN0, reached 37.9% (86/227 pts). Here we describe secondary preplanned analysis of the best cut-off of SUVmax reduction for pCR prediction.

Methods

ROC analysis was applied to research the most appropriate deltaSUVmax cut-off in HER2+ EBC pts treated exclusively with neoadjuvant T and P (± endocrine therapy).

Results

The delta SUVmax capability of predicting pCR in terms of AUC was 72.1% (95%CI, 65.1-79.2). The optimal SUVmax reduction cut-off was found to be 77.0%, with a 51.2% sensitivity and a 78.7% specificity for prediction of pCR. Yet, using this cut-off, 32.6% (74/227 pts) would be classified as FDG-PET responders increasing the pCR rate from 37.9% (cut-off ≥40%) to 59.5% (44/74 pts) (p<0.01). With this optimized cut-off 19.4% (44/227 pts) would avoid chemotherapy to achieve a pCR. Subgroup analysis in pts with HER2 immunohistochemistry score 3+ will be reported.

Conclusions

Increased deltaSUVmax cut-off (≥77%) after two cycles of exclusive T+P achieves a pCR rate in the range of control arm with CT+TP in PHERGain (59,5% vs. 57,7%, respectively) selecting a subgroup of pts with HER2 addicted tumors. However, the original cut-off (≥40%) maximizes the number of pts who could avoid CT. The definitive value of pCR in the absence of CT should be confirmed by final DDFS results from PHERGain trial.

95P - PAM50 HER2-enriched phenotype as a predictor of early response to neoadjuvant lapatinib plus trastuzumab HER2-positive breast cancer: Survival results of the SOLTI-PAMELA study (ID 107)

Abstract

Background

The PAMELA trial tested the hypothesis that patients (pts) with the HER2-enriched (HER2-E) subtype benefit the most from dual HER2 blockade. Here, we evaluated the survival outcomes of this trial.

Methods

PAMELA is a non-randomized, open-label, multicentric, prospective translational research study in stage I-IIIA HER2+ breast cancer designed to evaluate the ability of the PAM50 intrinsic subtypes to predict pCR in the breast (pCRB; in situ allowed) following 18 weeks of neoadjuvant lapatinib and trastuzumab. Patients with HR+ disease received letrozole (if postmenopausal) or tamoxifen (if pre-menopausal). The primary objective was to compare the pCRB rates of the HER2-E versus the non-HER2-E subtypes in the intent-to-treat population. Exploratory endpoints included disease-free survival (DFS) and distant disease-free survival (DDFS) measured from the date of surgery.

Results

139 (92%) of 151 included pts from PAMELA had follow-up information after surgery. 127 (91.4%) pts received adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), 69 (49.6%) pts with anthracycline-based CT. Median follow-up was 76.7 months [1.2-91.6]. 13 (9.4%) relapse events have occurred (9 distant metastatic events, 1 contralateral recurrence, 2 invasive locoregional relapses [ILR] and 1 in situ recurrence). 6 year DFS and DDFS were 91.7% and 93.7%, respectively. Of the 127 pts that received CT, 38 pts (29.9%) achieved pCRB. Among these, 4 relapses (1 metastatic, 1 contralateral recurrence, 1 ILR and 1 in situ recurrence) were observed. Among the 89 pts with no pCRB, 9 relapses (8 metastatic events and 1ILR) were observed. Of the 12 patients who did not receive CT, 6 (50%) pts achieved a pCRB, and no relapse events were observed. Tumor stage was associated with DDFS (p=0.032) but not with DFS. Of the 44, 88 and 7 pts with stage I, II and III tumors; 1, 6, and 2 distant relapses were observed, respectively. pCRB, intrinsic subtype or TILs were not associated with DFS or DDFS.

Conclusions

Despite the small sample size, PAMELA opens the door to study dual HER2 blockade without chemotherapy in selected pts. Achieving pCRB was not associated with survival in this exploratory analysis.

162O - Primary analysis from DS8201-A-U105: A 2-part, open label, phase 1b trial assessing trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) with nivolumab (nivo) in patients (pts) with HER2-expressing advanced breast cancer (ID 304)

Abstract

Background

In DESTINY-Breast01 (NCT03248492), T-DXd showed efficacy and safety in pts with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with prior T-DM1. Preclinical models showed that T-DXd combined with an anti–PD-1 antibody had greater efficacy vs either agent alone (Iwata Mol Cancer Ther 2018). This was a 2-part, open-label, multicenter, phase 1b study of T-DXd with nivo in pts with HER2-expressing MBC or advanced urothelial cancer (NCT03523572). Primary results from part 2 for MBC pts are reported.

Methods

Pts were immunotherapy naive with centrally confirmed HER2+ (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+) MBC after T-DM1 or HER2 low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) MBC after standard-of-care. Pts received the recommended dose for expansion T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg and nivo 360 mg IV Q3W. The primary endpoint was confirmed ORR (cORR) assessed by independent central review (ICR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and safety.

Results

At the primary analysis data cutoff (July 22, 2021), 48 pts (HER2+, n = 32; HER2 low, n = 16) received T-DXd and nivo. Median follow-up duration was 18.7 mo for HER2+ pts and 12.7 mo for HER2-low pts. The cORR by ICR was 65.6% (95% CI, 46.8-81.4) and 50% (95% CI, 24.7-75.3); median PFS was 11.6 mo (95% CI, 6.9-NE) and 7.0 mo (95% CI, 2.3-10.8); and median DOR was NE (95% CI, 7.9-NE) and 5.5 mo (95% CI, 2.8-8.0) for HER2+ and HER2 low pts, respectively. Overall, median treatment duration was 7.9 mo for T-DXd and 5.8 mo for nivo. In parts 1 and 2 (T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg, nivo 360 mg; n = 48), TEAEs grade ≥3 occurred in 50.0% of pts; nausea (56.3%) was the most common any-grade TEAE; and 7 (14.6%) HER2+ pts had adjudicated drug-related interstitial lung disease (6 grade 2; 1 grade 5).

Conclusions

Results of T-DXd plus nivo show antitumor activity consistent with previously reported data for T-DXd monotherapy in HER2+ BC, with no discernable benefit with the addition of nivo in this late-line setting. Data from the small HER2-low cohort are insufficient to determine the effects of PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapy. The combination safety profile was similar to that of each study drug as monotherapy.

164O - Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) With Pembrolizumab (pembro) + Chemotherapy (chemo) vs Placebo (pbo) + Chemo as 1L Treatment for Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC): Results From KEYNOTE-355 (ID 307)

Abstract

Background

KEYNOTE-355 (NCT02819518) evaluated pembro + chemo vs pbo + chemo in previously untreated patients (pts) with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC. Pembro + chemo improved the PFS and OS in pts with PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥10 disease. We present results for patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures among pts with PD-L1 CPS ≥10.

Methods

Pts were randomized 2:1 to pembro 200 mg or pbo Q3W for up to 35 cycles + chemo (investigator’s choice of nab-paclitaxel, paclitaxel, or gemcitabine/carboplatin). QLQ-C30 (including global health status/quality of life [GHS/QoL]) and physical and emotional functioning scales), QLQ-BR23, and EQ-5D visual analogue scale (VAS) were prespecified. PROs were assessed at baseline, during treatment, and the 30-day safety follow-up visit and analyzed for pts who received ≥1 dose of study treatment and completed ≥1 PRO assessment. Change in PRO scores from baseline were assessed at wk 15 (latest timepoint at which completion/compliance rates were ≥60%/≥80%; negative values favor the pembrolizumab group). Time to deterioration (TTD) in PROs was defined as time to first onset of ≥10-point worsening in score from baseline.

Results

These PRO analyses included 317 pts with PD-L1 CPS ≥10 (pembro + chemo; n = 217; pbo + chemo, n = 100). Completion/compliance at wk 15 was 77.0%/87.0% with pembro + chemo and 70.0%/81.4% with pbo + chemo. There were no between-group differences in change from baseline to wk 15 in the QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL, emotional functioning, physical functioning, or the EQ-5D VAS scale scores, and no between-group difference in TTD in QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL, emotional functioning, or physical functioning (Table).

168P - Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) efficacy in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) by HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) status: Findings from the Phase 3 ASCENT study (ID 176)

Abstract

Background

HER2 IHC1+ or IHC2+ and in situ hybridization (ISH)-negative results are sometimes referred to as HER2-Low. SG is a novel antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti–Trop-2 antibody coupled to SN-38 via a proprietary, hydrolyzable linker. SG is approved in mTNBC for the second line (2L) onwards. In the ASCENT study, SG had significant progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) benefit vs chemotherapy of physician’s choice (TPC). This ASCENT post hoc subgroup analysis evaluates SG efficacy in HER2 IHC0 and HER2-Low mTNBC.

Methods

Patients (pts) with mTNBC refractory/relapsing after ≥2 prior chemotherapies (≥1 in the metastatic setting) were randomized 1:1 to receive SG (10 mg/kg IV on d 1 and 8, every 21 d) or TPC (capecitabine, eribulin, vinorelbine, or gemcitabine) until unacceptable toxicity/progression. Primary endpoint was PFS per RECIST 1.1 by central review. Pts with known HER2-positive disease were ineligible, but HER2 status was not assessed centrally in ASCENT. Local HER2 IHC results were analyzed retrospectively.

Results

In the intent-to-treat (ITT) population (SG vs TPC), 149 vs 144, 63 vs 60, and 55 vs 58 pts had HER2 IHC0, HER2-Low, and missing HER2 IHC results, respectively; 79% of the ITT population was HER2-evaluable. Baseline characteristics between HER2 IHC0 vs HER2-Low were comparable and similar to the ITT population. Median PFS and OS were significantly improved, and objective response rate was numerically higher with SG vs TPC in the HER2 IHC0 and HER2-Low groups (Table). HER2-Low had numerically better outcomes vs HER2 ICH0 in both the SG and TPC arms.

Conclusions

Clinical benefit with SG in HER2 IHC0 and HER2-Low mTNBC was consistent with that of the ASCENT ITT population, regardless of HER2 status. SG should be considered an effective treatment option for pts with mTNBC eligible for 2L or later therapy.

181P - Efficacy of eribulin mesylate in HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (MBC): Results from a pooled analysis of two phase 3 studies (ID 189)

Abstract

Background

Breast cancer (BC) with low-level HER2 expression (HER2-low) is defined by an immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 1+ or 2+ without HER2 gene amplification or excess gene copy number, as measured by in situ hybridization (ISH). This represents approximately half of patients (pts) with BC overall (estimated 55% in hormone-receptor-positive BC and 38% in triple-negative BC; Scott ASCO 2021). Studies have suggested that HER2-low BC may respond differently to treatment than BC with no HER2 expression (HER2-0). In this post hoc analysis, we analyzed pooled data from two phase 3 studies (Studies 305 and 301) comparing eribulin with other chemotherapeutic agents (control) in pts with HER2-low MBC.

Methods

Pts with MBC and 2-5 (Study 305) or </=2 (Study 301) prior lines of chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic disease, and who had received an anthracycline and a taxane, were pooled from pivotal studies comparing eribulin with treatment of physician’s choice (Study 305) or capecitabine (Study 301). HER2-expression status was determined by IHC +/- fluorescence ISH assays. Median PFS and OS were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method adjusted by study; comparisons of PFS and OS between treatment groups were performed using stratified (by prior capecitabine use, geographic region, and study) log-rank tests. Hazard ratios were estimated by a stratified Cox model.

Results

Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between treatment groups among pts with HER2-low (427 pts) and HER2-0 (824 pts) BC. Pts with HER2-low or HER2-0 BC showed trends of improvement in OS, PFS, and ORR with eribulin treatment (Table). Results for PFS by investigator review were generally consistent with those by independent review.

Conclusions

Treatment with eribulin showed trends toward improved OS, PFS, and ORR compared to chemotherapy controls in patients with HER2-low or HER2-0 MBC.

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.

208TiP - SOLTI-1303 PATRICIA: Cohort C. Combination of palbociclib with trastuzumab and endocrine therapy (ET) versus treatment of physician’s choice (TPC) in pretreated HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive (HER2+/HR+) / PAM50 luminal metastatic breast cancer (BC): A randomized phase II trial (ID 216)

Abstract

Background

Efficacy and safety analysis from PATRICIA’s cohorts A & B showed that palbociclib plus trastuzumab is safe, exhibiting promising survival outcomes in trastuzumab pretreated HER2+/HR+ PAM50 Luminal A/B advanced BC (Ciruelos E. et al, CCR 2020), that were maintained after a median of >3 years of follow-up. Based on these encouraging results, PATRICIA trial is currently randomizing patients with HER2+/HR+, PAM50 Luminal tumors to palbociclib, trastuzumab and ET or TPC.

Trial design

PATRICIA is a randomized open-label, adaptive design, phase II study. Patients must have histologically confirmed HER2+/HR+ and PAM50-centrally confirmed Luminal A or B intrinsic subtype and have received at least 1 one prior line of anti-HER2 based regimes for locally advanced or metastatic BC. Patients are randomized 1:1 ratio to receive trastuzumab plus palbociclib at a standard dose of 125 mg/day orally 3 weeks/1 week off and ET (Cohort C1) or TPC (cohort C2). TPC options in cohort C2 are T-DM1, any ET or chemotherapy (gemcitabine, vinorelbine, capecitabine, eribulin, paclitaxel or a taxane) plus trastuzumab. Stratification factors include the number of previous regimens for advanced BC (1-2 vs ≥ 3) and the presence of visceral disease (yes vs no). Primary endpoint is progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate, overall objective response rate and median duration of response, safety, quality of life and biomarker analysis in tumor tissue and blood samples collected during the study. The study has an 80% power with one-sided alpha=0.1 to detect a HR of 0.62 in favor of the palbociclib cohort. A total of 102 patients with HER2+/HR+ PAM50 Luminal A or B tumors will be recruited in 35 sites in Spain. As of February 15th, 2022, 156 patients were screened and 48 were included.
