Abstract

Background

Up to 50% of pts with breast cancer and germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic BRCA variants are missed by current testing guidelines. Timely determination of germline BRCA mutation (gBRCAm) status is integral to facilitating an effective treatment strategy. Prior studies suggest that gBRCAm-associated HR+ HER2-negative eBC has a higher ODX RS vs gBRCA wild type (gBRCAwt). However, data from large cohorts are limited.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the US Electronic Health Record-derived de-identified Flatiron Health database. We selected pts ≥18 years with HR+ HER2-negative eBC, diagnosed from March 2007–October 2022 with a confirmed ODX RS. gBRCA testing rates were calculated by year of eBC diagnosis. Prevalence of gBRCAm was described by ODX RS category (low <11, intermediate 11–25, high >25).

Results

A total of 3672 pts with a confirmed ODX RS (category: low n=961; intermediate n=2172; high n=539) were included. Median age was 62 years (IQR 53, 69), 75.6% were white and 83.4% received treatment at community oncology clinics. Of 1163 pts (31.7%) tested, 37 (3.2%) had gBRCAm. Prevalence of gBRCAm was highest in the high ODX RS category (n=14, 7.5%) vs intermediate (n=19, 2.8%) and low (n=4, 1.4%). gBRCA testing increased over time from 2011–2014 (13.7%) to 2019–2022 (32.4%) for eBC pts. The testing rates were similar across ODX RS categories.

Rates of gBRCA testing in pts with HR+ HER2-negative eBC with a confirmed ODX RS*

Rate of gBRCA testing within 6 months of eBC diagnosis 2011–2014 2015–2018 2019–2022
Overall 13.7% 22.4% 32.4%
ODX RS High 12.1% 26.3% 30.8%
ODX RS Intermediate 14.5% 21.5% 32.9%
ODX RS Low 12.4% 22.2% 32.1%

*Between 2007 and 2010 only 8 ODX RS tests were performed, and so data are not shown. ODX RS, Oncotype DX Recurrence Score.

Conclusions

In this modern retrospective cohort, ODX RS appeared higher in gBRCAm-associated HR+ HER2-negative eBC vs sporadic/untested pt tumors. Despite an increasing trend in gBRCA testing, around two-thirds of HR+ HER2-negative eBC pts in this cohort did not undergo genetic testing, including 351 pts with high ODX RS who may benefit from newer risk-reducing strategies. Based on the recently demonstrated improved survival from adjuvant olaparib in gBRCAm pts, wider implementation of genetic testing may be warranted in this population.
