Long-Term Outcomes of a Randomized Study of Neoadjuvant Induction Dual HER2 Blockade with Trastuzumab and Lapatinib Followed by Weekly Paclitaxel Plus Dual HER2 Blockade for HER2-Positive Primary Breast Cancer (Neo-Lath Study).

ABSTRACT: We conducted the Neo-LaTH study in which patients were randomized to different lengths of neoadjuvant induction anti-HER2 therapy with lapatinib and trastuzumab followed by weekly paclitaxel plus the anti-HER2 therapy, and in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive patients, with or without concurrent endocrine therapy. The use of endocrine therapy did not affect the response; comprehensive pathological complete response (CpCR) plus ypN0 rate was 57.6% and 30.3% in ER-negative and ER-positive patients, respectively. After surgery, patients received an anthracycline-based regimen based on physician's choice, followed by trastuzumab for 1 year, and in ER-positive patients, endocrine therapy for 5 years. Here, we report the 5-year survival outcomes. Among the followed-up patients (n = 212), the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), distant DFS, and overall survival rates were 87.8% [95% confidence interval (CI), 82.5-91.6%], 93.7% (95% CI, 89.3-96.3%), and 95.6% (95% CI, 91.7-97.7%), respectively, with no difference between ER-negative and ER-positive patients. The 5-year DFS rate was significantly higher in patients who had a CpCR plus ypN0 after neoadjuvant treatment than in those who did not (91.7% vs. 85.1%; p = 0.0387). The stratified analysis showed better survival outcomes in patients who had CpCRypN0 than in those who did not after neoadjuvant treatment, regardless of use of adjuvant anthracycline therapy.

Project description:BackgroundNeoadjuvant dual human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab plus paclitaxel leads to an overall pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of 46%. Dual HER2 blockade with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and lapatinib plus nab-paclitaxel has shown efficacy in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. To test neoadjuvant effectiveness of this regimen, an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase II trial was conducted comparing T-DM1, lapatinib, and nab-paclitaxel with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and paclitaxel in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer.MethodsStratification by estrogen receptor (ER) status occurred prior to randomization. Patients in the experimental arm received 6 weeks of targeted therapies (T-DM1 and lapatinib) followed by T-DM1 every 3 weeks, lapatinib daily, and nab-paclitaxel weekly for 12 weeks. In the standard arm, patients received 6 weeks of trastuzumab and pertuzumab followed by trastuzumab weekly, pertuzumab every 3 weeks, and paclitaxel weekly for 12 weeks. The primary objective was to evaluate the proportion of patients with residual cancer burden (RCB) 0 or I. Key secondary objectives included pCR rate, safety, and change in tumor size at 6 weeks. Hypothesis-generating correlative assessments were also performed.ResultsThe 30 evaluable patients were well-balanced in patient and tumor characteristics. The proportion of patients with RCB 0 or I was higher in the experimental arm (100% vs. 62.5% in the standard arm, p = 0.0035). In the ER-positive subset, all patients in the experimental arm achieved RCB 0-I versus 25% in the standard arm (p = 0.0035). Adverse events were similar between the two arms.ConclusionIn early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, the neoadjuvant treatment with T-DM1, lapatinib, and nab-paclitaxel was more effective than the standard treatment, particularly in the ER-positive cohort.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT02073487 , February 27, 2014.

Project description:BackgroundNeoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer can produce a pathological complete response in the breast in 30-65% of patients. We investigated the effect of the timing of trastuzumab administration with anthracycline and taxane neoadjuvant chemotherapy.MethodsThis randomised trial was done at 36 centres in the USA and Puerto Rico. Women with operable HER2-positive invasive breast cancer were randomly assigned (1:1) with a biased coin minimisation algorithm, stratified for age, tumour size, and hormone receptor status. Neither patients nor investigators (except for a cardiac safety review panel) were masked to treatment assignment. Patients randomly assigned to sequential treatment received fluorouracil 500 mg/m(2), epirubicin 75 mg/m(2), and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m(2) (FEC-75) on day 1 of a 21-day cycle for four cycles followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m(2) and trastuzumab 2 mg/kg (after a 4 mg/kg loading dose) once per week for 12 weeks, while those randomly assigned to the concurrent treatment group received paclitaxel and trastuzumab once per week for 12 weeks followed by four cycles of FEC-75 (on day 1 of each 21-day cycle) and once-weekly trastuzumab, in the same doses as the sequential group. Surgery, including evaluation of the axilla, was done within 6 weeks of completion of neoadjuvant treatment. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients who had a pathological complete response in the intention-to-treat population. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00513292.FindingsFrom Sept 15, 2007, to Dec 15, 2011, 282 women were enrolled (140 in the sequential group, 142 in the concurrent group). Two patients in the sequential group withdrew consent before starting treatment. 78 of 138 (56·5%, 95% CI 47·8-64·9) patients who received sequential treatment had a pathological complete response in the breast versus 77 of 142 (54·2%, 95% CI 45·7-62·6) who received concurrent treatment (difference 2·3%, 95% CI -9·3 to 13·9). No treatment-related deaths occurred. The most common severe toxic effects were neutropenia (35 [25·3%] of 138 patients in the sequential group vs 45 [31·7%] of 142 patients in the concurrent group) and fatigue (six [4·3%] vs 12 [8·5%]). Left ventricular ejection fraction dropped below the institutional lower limit of normal at week 12 in one (0·8%) of 130 patients who received sequential treatment and four (2·9%) of 137 patients who received concurrent treatment; by week 24, it had dropped below this limit in nine (7·1%) of 126 patients and in six (4·6%) of 130 patients, respectively.InterpretationConcurrent administration of trastuzumab with anthracyclines offers no additional benefit and is not warranted.FundingUS National Cancer Institute.
