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:<p>HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification and overexpression are present in 15-30% of invasive breast cancers. While HER2-targeted agents such as trastuzumab are effective treatments, therapeutic resistance remains a concern in HER2-positive breast cancer with 40-50% of patients having residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and trastuzumab.</p> <p>To investigate features that may make it possible to predict at diagnosis which cancers will be responsive to trastuzumab and chemotherapy, 48 tumor/normal DNA pairs extracted from pretreatment tumor biopsies and blood of HER2-positive breast cancer cases treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab were sequenced. Whole genome and exome sequence from tumor (average depth 49x and 71x) and normal (average depth 33x and 69x) DNA are included here as well as RNAseq data for 42 of the tumors. The study cohort was equally divided between patients who experienced pathological complete response and those with residual disease.</p> <p>Samples were obtained from the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z1041 trial (NCT00513292) and a local single-institution study (NCT00353483).</p>

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 18 incisional biopsies of breast carcinomas derived from patients that received neoadjuvant trastuzumab based therapy.
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.
