Molecular landscape and efficacy of HER2-targeted therapy in patients with HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression or gene amplification is an important predictive biomarker for identifying patients with breast cancer, who may benefit from HER2-targeted therapy. However, little is known about the molecular landscape and efficacy of HER2-targeted therapy in patients with HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer. We analysed the HER2 mutation features of 1184 patients with invasive breast cancer. In addition, a single-arm, prospective, phase-II study (NCT03412383) of pyrotinib was conducted in patient with metastatic HER2 amplification-negative, mutation-positive breast cancer. Peripheral blood was collected from each patient and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) sequencing was performed using a 1021 gene panel. HER2 mutations were detected in 8.9% (105/1184) of patients. The HER2 amplification-positive patients had a higher mutation frequency than the HER2 amplification-negative patients (19.5% vs. 4.8%, P?P?=?0.011). Ten HER2 amplification-negative, mutation-positive patients who received pyrotinib monotherapy were ultimately included in the efficacy analysis. The median PFS was 4.9 months. The objective response rate (complete response?+?partial response) was 40.0% and the clinical benefit rate (complete response?+?partial response?+?stable disease over 24 weeks) was 60%. In conclusion, a HER2 gene mutation analysis is potentially useful to identify biomarkers of trastuzumab resistance in HER2 amplification-positive patients. Patients with HER2-mutated, non-amplified metastatic breast cancers may benefit from pyrotinib.

Project description:BackgroundSurvival of patients with human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has improved dramatically since trastuzumab has become available, although the disease eventually progresses in most patients. This study investigates the outcome (overall survival [OS] and time to next treatment [TNT]) in MBC patients pretreated with trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting (TP-group) compared with trastuzumab-naïve patients (TN-group) in order to investigate the possibility of trastuzumab resistance.Patients and methodsPatients treated with first-line HER2-targeted-containing chemotherapy were eligible for the study. A power analysis was performed to estimate the minimum size of the TP-group. OS and TNT were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsBetween January 1, 2000, and June 1, 2014, 469 patients were included, of whom 82 were in the TP-group and 387 were in the TN-group. Median OS and TNT were significantly worse in the TP-group compared with the TN-group (17 vs. 30 months, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.84 [1.15-2.96], p = .01 and 7 vs. 13 months, adjusted HR 1.65 [1.06-2.58], p = .03) after adjustment for age, year of diagnosis, disease-free interval, hormone receptor status, metastatic site, and cytotoxic regimens.ConclusionFirst-line trastuzumab-containing treatment regimens are less effective in patients with failure of adjuvant trastuzumab compared with trastuzumab-naïve patients and might be due to trastuzumab resistance. The impact of trastuzumab resistance on the response on dual HER2 blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab and how resistance mechanisms can be used in the optimization of HER2-targeted treatment lines need further investigation.Implications for practiceEvidence on the efficacy of palliative trastuzumab-based therapy after failure of trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting is limited because of a minority of patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab in clinical trials. In this study, less clinical benefit of palliative trastuzumab-based therapy was observed in patients relapsing after adjuvant trastuzumab compared with no adjuvant trastuzumab treatment. Subgroup analyses and multivariable analyses revealed that this was independent of possible confounding factors, including adjuvant taxane-treatment. This might suggest a clinically meaningful impaired efficacy of trastuzumab after previous, in this case adjuvant, trastuzumab therapy. These results could have implications for treatment decision-making after short progression-free intervals on trastuzumab-containing regimens in the palliative setting.

Project description:PurposeWe used targeted capture sequencing to analyze TP53-mutated circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in metastatic breast cancer patients and to determine whether TP53 mutation has predictive value for anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) treatment for in HER2 amplification-positive patients (HER2+) and HER2 mutation-positive, amplification-negative (HER2-/mut) patients.Patients and methodsTP53 mutation features were analyzed in the Geneplus cohort (n = 1184). The MSK-BREAST cohort was used to explore the value of TP53 mutation in predicting anti-HER-2 antibody efficacy. Sequencing of ctDNA in phase Ib, phase Ic, phase II clinical trials of pyrotinib (HER2+ patients), and an investigator-initiated phase II study of pyrotinib (HER2-/mut patients) were performed to analyze the relationships between TP53 mutation and prognosis for HER2 TKIs. The MSK-BREAST cohort, MutHER, and SUMMIT cohort were used for verification.ResultsTP53 mutations were detected in 53.1% (629/1184) of patients in the Geneplus cohort. The TP53 mutation rate was higher in HR-negative (p < 0.001) and HER2 amplification-positive (p = 0.015) patients. Among patients receiving anti-HER2 antibody therapy, those whose tumors carried TP53 mutations had a shorter PFS (p = 0.004). However, the value of TP53 mutation in predicting HER2 TKI response was inconsistent. In HER2+ patients, no difference in PFS was observed among patients with different TP53 statuses in the combined analysis of the pyrotinib phase Ib, phase Ic, and phase II clinical trials (p = 1.00) or in the MSK-BREAST cohort (p = 0.62). In HER2-/mut patients, TP53 mutation-positive patients exhibited a trend toward worse prognosis with anti-HER2 TKI treatment than TP53-wild-type patients in our investigator-initiated phase II study (p = 0.15), and this trend was confirmed in the combined analysis of the MutHER and SUMMIT cohorts (p = 0.01).ConclusionsTP53 mutation can be used to identify biomarkers of anti-HER2 antibody drug resistance in HER2+ patients and HER2 TKI resistance in HER2-/mut patients.
