ADJUVANT TC VS ECT IN HIGH-RISK HER2-NEGATIVE
EARLY BREAST CANCER:
BACKGROUND
Role of anthracycline-containing regimens for pts with early BC still debated
EBCTCG meta-analysis: reduced BC mortality with anthracycline + taxane regimens,
increased cardiac mortality with anthracyclines[1]
USOR 9735: superior DFS and OS with TC x 4 vs AC x 4[2]
ABC joint analysis: improved iDFS with taxane + AC regimens vs TC x 6[3]
PlanB: prospective, randomized, open-label phase III trial of TC vs ECT in HER2-
negative pts with early BC
Current analysis reports final 5-yr results[4]

PlanB: Conclusions
▪ In pts with clinically high-risk or genomically intermediate-/high-risk HER2-negative early BC, TC noninferior to ECT for DFS
– Similar 5-yr DFS and OS for TC vs ECT
– No subgroup-specific benefit with anthracycline-containing ECT
▪ Fewer grade 3/4 AEs, dose reductions/cycle delays with TC vs ECT
▪ Study investigators conclude 6 x TC represents effective CT option for HER2-negative early BC, evaluation of novel therapeutics needed in subgroup of pts with high-RS tumors

48% reduction of the risk for relapse
MA.17
On the basis of these findings, postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor–positive tumors who have completed about five years of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy should be considered for letrozole treatment
These results, which necessitated the discontinuation of the study ( at a median follow-up period of 30 months), have left the optimal duration of treatment undefined and the question of long-term toxicity unanswered
– Increasing Benefit of Letrozole With Longer Duration of Treatment has been strongly suggested

• Is the verdict out for optimal duration
of adjuvant Trastuzumab??
ADJUVANT TRASTUZUMAB
➢ One year of TRASTUZUMAB is the standard of care, according to international guidelines
▪ The One year duration was chosen on arbitrary basis ( a round figure assumption) , rather than a previously confirmed optimal duration
➢ One year of adjuvant TRASTUZUMAB is associated with :
▪ Reduction of the risk of relapse by 25% - 40%
▪ Reduction of the risk of death by 25%-35%

Stratification factors are: nodal status and protocol version, intended adjuvant chemotherapy and central hormone receptor status* The p value shown in this table is based on stratification factor data taken from the eCRF. In a sensitivity analysis based on stratification factor data from the IxRS system (FDA Preferred Analysis), the p-value from stratified log-rank rest was 0.0471.

for Early TNBC: Background
▪ Achieving pCR with neoadjuvant therapy correlates with improved EFS and OS in TNBC vs pts with residual disease[1]
▪ Veliparib: potent, orally available PARP 1/2 inhibitor
– Preclinical evidence for increasing chemotherapy antitumor activity[2]
▪ I-SPY2 pilot study suggested high probability for successful phase III trial of veliparib + carboplatin added to weekly T AC as neoadjuvant therapy in TNBC[3]
▪ Current phase III study evaluated addition of carboplatin ± veliparib to neoadjuvant T AC in early stage TNBC, with particular interest in veliparibcontribution to increased pCR rate[4]

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy + Carboplatin ± Veliparib
for Early TNBC: Conclusions
▪ Veliparib + carboplatin + T AC significantly increased pCR rate over T AC alone (53.2% vs 31.0%; P < .0001)
▪ Addition of veliparib did not increase pCR rate over carboplatin + T AC (53.2% vs 57.5%; P = .36)
– pCR improvement likely due to carboplatin, without additional benefit with veliparib
▪ Some toxicities, including hematologic and GI, increased with carboplatin addition
– Carboplatin use increased T dose reductions and administration time

TAKE HOME MESSAGEIn HR+ Her2- BC:
➢ GEP has established it’s role in omitting chemotherapy in low/Intermediate risk patients.
➢ Some patients can be safely spared adjuvant anthracyclines.
➢ Duration of extended adjuvant hormonal treatment…5 years is not a must
In Her2 positive BC:
➢ One year adjuvant Trastuzummab remains the standard of care…The verdict is not out yet
for shorter durations of adjuvant Trastuzumab
➢ Adjuvant Trastuzumab/Pertuzumab dual blockade improves iDFS especially in N+ patients
In TNBC
➢ The addition of Carboplatin to NACT significantly improves PCR rates.
➢ In TNBC pts not achieving PCR after NACT, adjuvant Capecitabine improves DFS & OS.

PlanB trial (HR+/HER2- population; 5-year
median follow-up): Conclusions II
23.04.2018 WSG GmbH88
▪ Both local and central grade 3 are independent prognostic markers, despite
their significant assesment discordance
▪ Ki-67 correlates well with Recurrence Score in (central) Ki-67 ranges <10% and
>40%
▪ Highest prognostic utility from a multigene assay can be expected in cases with
intermediate Ki-67
▪ Only pN2-3, continuous RS, grade 3 and tumor size >2cm are independent
predictors for DFS and should be used together for treatment decisions in early
HR+ HER2- breast cancer
PlanB: DFS by Recurrence Score (HR+)
▪ Analysis in ITT pts with RS measurement after early protocol amendment
Recurrence Score ≤ 25 Recurrence Score > 25

What is smart about the FinHER Study Design ?
• Give Trastuzumab
– very early adminstration (on D1 of cycle 1)
– concurrently with the most synergistic drugs
– Prior to Anthracyclines…which would reduce cardiotoxicity

ExteNET: Background
▪ In pts with HER2+ breast cancer, relapse has occurred in up to 26.3% of pts within 8.4 yrs of follow-up after adjuvant trastuzumab[1-4]
– Highest risk of relapse within first year after trastuzumab[4]
– Relapse risk lower among those without nodal metastases[5]
▪ Neratinib, oral TKI of HER1, HER2, and HER4
– Data suggest efficacy in pts with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer treated with trastuzumab[6]
– Diarrhea most common AE, within first mo of treatment
▪ Current report is 3-yr exploratory analysis of neratinib after adjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab in pts with local HER2+ breast cancer enrolled in phase III ExteNET study[7]
