Project description:We identified a 17-gene Her2-enriched tumor initiating cell (HTIC) signature in MMTV-Her2/Neu mouse mammary TICs. Here, we show that patients with HTICS+ HER2+:ERα− tumors are more likely to achieve a pathologic complete response to trastuzumab-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared with HER2+:ER+ tumors. Neoadjuvant study of 50 HER2-positive breast cancer cases treated with trastuzumab-based chemotherapy pre-operatively. Pre-treatment FNA from primary tumors were obtained and RNA extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays according to manufacturer protocol. Pathologic response was assessed at the end of neoadjuvant treatment.
Project description:Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed to the HER2 protein, is the standard-of-care treatment for patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, reducing the risk of relapse and death in patients. Nonetheless, some patients do not benefit from this treatment, underscoring the need to identify patients for whom chemotherapy + trastuzumab is adequate versus patients requiring additional drugs. The series comprised 24 incisional biopsies of breast carcinomas derived from patients that received neoadjuvant trastuzumab based therapy. Gene expression profiling was performed using RNA from frozen core biopsies from 24 patients with primary HER2-positive (HER2+) tumors treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab.
Project description:These data can be used for evaluation of the clinical utility of the research-based PAM50 subtype predictor in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) and event-free survival (EFS) in women enrolled in the NeOAdjuvant Herceptin (NOAH) trial. The NeOAdjuvant Herceptin [NOAH] trial demonstrated that trastuzumab significantly improves pCR rates and 3-year event-free survival (EFS) in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone in patients with HER2+ breast cancer.
Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of a cohort of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who did not achieve a pathological complete response after neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. Matched samples were collected before the initiation of therapy (diagnostic biopsy) and at surgery (surgical sample).
Project description:We studied the effect on tumour response to neoadjuvant therapy of the substitution of lapatinib for trastuzumab in combination with weekly paclitaxel after doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide treatment, and of the addition of lapatinib and trastuzumab combined after doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide treatment in patients with HER2-positive operable breast cancer to determine whether there would be a benefit of dual HER2 blockade in these patients.
Project description:Ado-trastuzumab emtansine plus pertuzumab (T-DM1/P) and paclitaxel plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab (THP) are two of the experimental regiments evaluated in I-SPY 2, a neoadjuvant platform trial for high risk, early stage breast cancer. In pre-defined analyses we assessed 10 biomarkers at the pre-treatment timepoint in the HER2, ER/PR, and proliferation pathways to test their association with pCR (complete pathologic response).
Project description:Adjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab (TCH) is a standard regimen for HER2+ breast cancer. Dual HER2-blockade with lapatinib (L) and trastuzumab demonstrated significant activity in the metastatic and neoadjuvant settings. This study evaluates neoadjuvant TC plus trastuzumab (H) and/or lapatinib (L). This study demonstrated a similar pCR rate with TCH and TCHL and a lower rate of pCR with TCL. Treatment-related toxicity limited the ability for participants to receive protocol-specified chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy in the TCHL Arm.
