Progression-Free Survival and Overall Survival in Patients with Advanced HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Treated with Trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) after Previous Treatment with Pertuzumab.

ABSTRACT: The approval of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) was conducted without pertuzumab as previous therapy. Efficacy data on T-DM1 following pertuzumab treatment are therefore limited. This study explores this issue in a real-world setting. Within the prospective PRAEGNANT (Prospective Academic Translational Research Network for the Optimization of the Oncological Health Care Quality in the Advanced Setting) metastatic breast cancer registry (NCT02338167), patients in all therapy lines receiving any kind of treatment were eligible for inclusion. This report describes patient characteristics and progression-free survival (PFS) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive patients receiving T-DM1 after pertuzumab treatment. Seventy-six patients were identified, 39 of whom received T-DM1 as second-line therapy, 25 as third-line, and 12 as fourth-line therapy or higher. Pertuzumab was mostly administered as a first-line treatment (n = 61; 80.3%). The median PFS in all patients was 3.5 months (95% CI: 2.8-7.8); in second-line treatment, 7.7 months (95% CI: 2.8-11.0); in third-line, 3.4 months (95% CI: 2.3-not reached (NR)); and in fourth-line therapy or higher, 2.7 months (95% CI: 1.2-NR). T-DM1 was mainly administered second-line after pertuzumab, but also in more heavily pretreated patients. The PFS in higher therapy lines appears to be shorter than in second-line.

Project description:PURPOSE:The standard of care in the neoadjuvant setting for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is dual HER2-targeted therapy. However, a need to minimize treatment-related toxicity and improve pathological complete response (pCR) rates, particularly in luminal HER2-positive disease, exists. METHODS:Neopeaks, a randomized, phase 2 study, compared docetaxel?+?carboplatin?+?trastuzumab?+?pertuzumab (TCbHP; 6 cycles; group A), TCbHP (4 cycles) followed by trastuzumab emtansine?+?pertuzumab (T-DM1+P; 4 cycles; group B), and T-DM1+P (4 cycles; group C) regimens in HER2-positive primary breast cancer patients; concurrent hormone therapy with T-DM1+P was administered in case of estrogen receptor positivity (ER+). Based on tumor shrinkage, nonresponders in group C were switched to 5-fluorouracil?+?epirubicin?+?cyclophosphamide (FEC; 4 cycles). Primary endpoint was pCR (comprehensive pCR ypN0 [ypT0-TisypN0]). RESULTS:Of 236 patients enrolled, 204 were randomized to groups A (n?=?51), B (n?=?52), and C (n?=?101). In group C, 80 (79%) patients continued T-DM1+P following favorable response, whereas 21 (21%) nonresponders switched to FEC. pCR rate was numerically higher with the TCbHP??? T-DM1+P regimen (71%) versus the standard TCbHP (57%) and T-DM1+P (57%) regimens. The rate in group C was higher among responders continuing T-DM1+P (63%) versus nonresponders who switched to FEC (38%). pCR rates after initial 4 cycles of T-DM1+P (group C; 57%) and standard TCbHP regimen (57%) were equivalent. pCR rate in patients with ER+ was significantly higher in group B (69%) than groups A (43%) and C (51%), but was comparable in patients with ER- (67-76%). Compared with the T-DM1-based arm, the incidence of adverse events was higher in the taxane-based arms. CONCLUSION:In the neoadjuvant setting, the pCR rate with the standard TCbHP??? T-DM1+P regimen was numerically better than the TCbHP regimen alone and significantly better in patients with ER+. Personalization of the T-DM1+P regimen could serve as a reasonable approach to minimize toxicity while maintaining efficacy. Trial registration ID: UMIN-CTR: UMIN000014649.

Project description:Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate incorporating the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antitumor properties of trastuzumab with the cytotoxic activity of the microtubule-inhibitory agent DM1. The antibody and the cytotoxic agent are conjugated by means of a stable linker.We randomly assigned patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, to T-DM1 or lapatinib plus capecitabine. The primary end points were progression-free survival (as assessed by independent review), overall survival, and safety. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (investigator-assessed), the objective response rate, and the time to symptom progression. Two interim analyses of overall survival were conducted.Among 991 randomly assigned patients, median progression-free survival as assessed by independent review was 9.6 months with T-DM1 versus 6.4 months with lapatinib plus capecitabine (hazard ratio for progression or death from any cause, 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55 to 0.77; P<0.001), and median overall survival at the second interim analysis crossed the stopping boundary for efficacy (30.9 months vs. 25.1 months; hazard ratio for death from any cause, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.85; P<0.001). The objective response rate was higher with T-DM1 (43.6%, vs. 30.8% with lapatinib plus capecitabine; P<0.001); results for all additional secondary end points favored T-DM1. Rates of grade 3 or 4 adverse events were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine than with T-DM1 (57% vs. 41%). The incidences of thrombocytopenia and increased serum aminotransferase levels were higher with T-DM1, whereas the incidences of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine.T-DM1 significantly prolonged progression-free and overall survival with less toxicity than lapatinib plus capecitabine in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.
