Platinum and Taxane Based Adjuvant and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Early Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Narrative Review.

ABSTRACT: Platinum (Pt) derivatives such as cisplatin and carboplatin are the class of drugs with proven activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This is due to the ability of Pt compounds to interfere with the DNA repair mechanisms of the neoplastic cells. Taxanes have been efficacious against estrogen receptor-negative tumors and act by disruption of microtubule function. Due to their distinct mechanisms of action and routes of metabolism, the combination of the Pt agents and taxanes results in reduced systemic toxicity, which is ideal for treating TNBC. Also, the sensitivity of BRCA1-mutated cells to taxanes remains unsolved as in vitro evidence indicates resistance against taxanes due to BRCA1 mutations. Recent evidence suggests that the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in better pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with TNBC, both in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. In vitro studies showed sequential dependency and optimal time scheduling of Pt- and taxane-based chemotherapy. Also, combining carboplatin with docetaxel in the NAC regimen yields an excellent pCR in patients with BRCA-associated and wild-type TNBC. TNBC is a therapeutic challenge that can be tackled by identifying new therapeutic sub-targets and specific cross-sections that can be benefitted from the addition of Pt- and taxane-based chemotherapy. This review summarizes the merits as well as the mechanism of Pt- and taxane-based adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapies in early TNBC from the available and ongoing clinical studies.

Adjuvant versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer patients with BRCA mutations.

Project description:PURPOSE:As triple-negative breast cancers are associated with earlier recurrences and poorer survival, optimal treatment of early-stage breast cancer is essential. Several retrospective studies in triple-negative breast cancer have reported conflicting results in overall survival in patients receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant systemic therapy. This study aims to analyze outcomes of adjuvant versus neoadjuvant in patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer with and without BRCA germline mutations. METHODS:Patients with stage I or II triple-negative breast cancer who had BRCA testing were identified from a prospective cohort study of 4027 patients. Clinical, demographic, genetic test results, chemotherapy, recurrence, and survival data were analyzed. Overall survival and disease-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS:319 patients with stage I and II triple-negative breast cancer who met eligibility criteria were included in the analysis. 187 received adjuvant chemotherapy (58.6%) and 132 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (41.4%). 135 were BRCA positive (42.3%) and 184 were BRCA negative (57.7%). There was no significant association between overall survival or disease-free survival and treatment with neoadjuvant versus adjuvant in the overall cohort. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between patient subgroups (neoadjuvant BRCA positive, neoadjuvant BRCA negative, adjuvant BRCA positive, and adjuvant BRCA negative) with respect to either overall survival or disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS:Neoadjuvant versus adjuvant with standard anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimens results in similar disease-free survival and overall survival among patients with stage I and II triple-negative breast cancer regardless of BRCA status. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether similar results are observed with newer agents.

Extended Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a heterogeneous breast cancer subtype with a poor prognosis. The optimal adjuvant chemotherapy regimen is still unknown. Although numerous large randomized trials have established the benefit of adjuvant anthracyclines and/or taxanes in TNBC, there is no preferred regimen for these patients. There is currently no guideline. Moreover, without knowing the optimal treatment backbone, it will not be possible to evaluate whether adding agents such as platinum or other novel therapies is beneficial for TNBC patients. Furthermore, the best duration of adjuvant treatment in TNBC is still unknown. This review will focus on results of clinical trials that analyzed the benefits of extending the duration of adjuvant treatment in TNBCs with maintenance treatments. We will further discuss promising results in favor of other new agents including capecitabine, metronomic treatment, and biological drugs.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Considerations in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Project description:The optimal neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) regimen in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has not been clearly defined. Achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) provides important prognostic information, and, especially in TNBC, is considered a surrogate endpoint for event-free survival. Thus, many neoadjuvant studies in TNBC focus on this as a primary endpoint, and such information may be used for accelerated US Food and Drug Administration approval. Current controversies in the field include: (1) the role of platinum-based compounds; (2) the optimal chemotherapy backbone; and (3) the benefits of additional therapy after surgery. Conflicting results of 2 major studies adding carboplatin to NACT have highlighted the need to balance potential benefits to disease outcomes against increased toxicity. While the PROGECT study suggests efficacy of a nonanthracycline-containing regimen, this is observational data, and evidence in the form of a clinical trial remains to be seen. Data surrounding optimal taxane use support the use of nab-paclitaxel in place of paclitaxel in limited clinical situations. Although bevacizumab may increase pCR rates, this has not translated into survival benefit. Capecitabine shows promise in patients who have not achieved pCR after NACT. The neoadjuvant setting remains an important model for drug development. This review will focus on the most important and most current neoadjuvant trials in women with TNBC.

Role of TP53 mutations in triple negative and HER2-positive breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy.

Project description:BackgroundTP53 mutations are frequent in breast cancer, however their clinical relevance in terms of response to chemotherapy is controversial.Methods450 pre-therapeutic, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded core biopsies from the phase II neoadjuvant GeparSixto trial that included HER2-positive and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) were subjected to Sanger sequencing of exons 5-8 of the TP53 gene. TP53 status was correlated to response to neoadjuvant anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy with or without carboplatin and trastuzumab/lapatinib in HER2-positive and bevacizumab in TNBC. p53 protein expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in the TNBC subgroup.ResultsOf 450 breast cancer samples 297 (66.0%) were TP53 mutant. Mutations were significantly more frequent in TNBC (74.8%) compared to HER2-positive cancers (55.4%, P < 0.0001). Neither mutations nor different mutation types and effects were associated with pCR neither in the whole study group nor in molecular subtypes (P > 0.05 each). Missense mutations tended to be associated with a better survival compared to all other types of mutations in TNBC (P = 0.093) and in HER2-positive cancers (P = 0.071). In TNBC, missense mutations were also linked to higher numbers of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs, P = 0.028). p53 protein overexpression was also linked with imporved survival (P = 0.019).ConclusionsOur study confirms high TP53 mutation rates in TNBC and HER2-positive breast cancer. Mutations did not predict the response to an intense neoadjuvant chemotherapy in these two molecular breast cancer subtypes.

The role of capecitabine-based neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of capecitabine in neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly controversial. Our meta-analysis was designed to further elucidate the effects of capecitabine on survival in early-stage TNBC patients and its safety.MethodsPubMed, Embase, and papers presented at several main conferences were searched up to December 19, 2019, to investigate capecitabine-based versus capecitabine-free neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy in TNBC patients. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 test, combined with hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) computed for disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and over grade 3 adverse events (AEs).ResultsA total of 9 randomized clinical trials and 3842 TNBC patients were included. Overall, the combined capecitabine regimens in neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy showed significantly improved DFS (HR = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.65-0.86; P < 0.001) and OS (HR = 0.63; 95% CI, 0.53-0.77; P < 0.001). In subgroup analysis, there were improvements in DFS in the groups with addition of capecitabine (HR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.53-0.78; P < 0.001), adjuvant chemotherapy (HR = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.63-0.85; P < 0.001), and lymph node positivity (HR = 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44-0.86; P = 0.005). Capecitabine regimens were related to higher risks of diarrhea (OR = 2.88, 95% CI 2.23-3.74, P < 0.001), stomatitis (OR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.53-2.64, P < 0.001) and hand-foot syndrome (OR = 8.67, 95% CI 6.70-11.22, P < 0.001).ConclusionThis meta-analysis showed that neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy combined with capecitabine significantly improved both DFS and OS in early-stage TNBC patients with tolerable AEs. There were benefits to DFS in the groups with the addition of capecitabine, adjuvant chemotherapy, and lymph node positivity.

Polymorphisms in PARP1 predict disease-free survival of triple-negative breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline/taxane based adjuvant chemotherapy.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive disease and of poor prognosis. It is very important to identify novel biomarkers to predict therapeutic response and outcome of TNBC. We investigated the association between polymorphisms in PARP1 gene and clinicopathological characteristics or survival of 272 patients with stage I-III primary TNBC treated with anthracycline/taxane based adjuvant chemotherapy. We found that after adjusted by age, grade, tumor size, lymph node status and vascular invasion, rs7531668 TA genotype carriers had significantly better DFS rate than TT genotype carriers, the 5?y DFS was 79.3% and 69.2% (P?=?0.046, HR 0.526 95% CI 0.280-0.990). In lymph node negative subgroup, DFS of rs6664761 CC genotype carriers was much better than TT genotype carriers (P?=?0.016, HR 0.261 95% CI 0.088-0.778) and DFS of rs7531668 AA genotype carriers was shorter than TT genotype carriers (P?=?0.015, HR 3.361 95% CI 1.259-8.969). In subgroup of age ? 50, rs6664761 TC genotype predicted favorable DFS than TT genotype (P?=?0.042, HR 0.405 95% CI 0.170-0.967). Polymorphisms in PARP1 gene had no influence on treatment toxicities. After multivariate analysis, tumor size (P?=?0.037, HR?=?2.829, 95% CI: 1.063-7.525) and lymph node status (P?<?0.001, HR?=?9.943, 95% CI: 2.974-33.243) were demonstrated to be independent prognostic factors. Our results suggested that polymorphisms in PARP1 gene might predict the DFS of TNBC patients treated with anthracycline/taxane based adjuvant chemotherapy.

Survival outcomes of neoadjuvant versus adjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer: a meta-analysis of 36,480 cases.

Project description:BackgroundThe survival outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to analyze current evidence on the survival outcomes of NACT versus ACT in TNBC.MethodsA systematic search was performed on the PubMed and Embase databases to identify relevant articles investigating the survival outcomes of NACT versus ACT in TNBC.ResultsA total of nine studies involving 36,480 patients met the selection criteria. Among them, 10,728 (29.41%) received NACT, and 25,752 (70.59%) received ACT. The pathological complete response (pCR) rate was 35% (95% CI = 0.23-0.48). Compared with ACT, the overall survival (OS) of NACT was poor (HR = 1.59; 95% CI = 1.25-2.02; P = 0.0001), and there was no significant difference in disease-free survival (DFS) between the two treatments (HR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.54-1.34; P = 0.49). NACT with pCR significantly improved the OS (HR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.29-0.98; P = 0.04) and DFS (HR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.29-0.94; P = 0.03), while the OS (HR = 1.18; 95% CI = 1.09-1.28; P < 0.0001) and DFS (HR = 2.36; 95% CI = 1.42-3.89; P = 0.0008) of patients with residual disease (RD) following NACT were worse compared to those receiving ACT.ConclusionThese findings suggest that, for TNBC, NACT with pCR is superior to ACT in improving OS and DFS, and it turns to be opposite when patients are receiving NACT with RD.
