149P Predicting prognosis of breast cancer patients with brain metastases in the BMBC registry: Comparison of three different prognostic scores

A randomized study of tucatinib (ONT-380) vs. placebo in combination with capecitabine and trastuzumab in patients with pretreated HER2-pos. metastatic breast cancer: HER2CLIMB

A randomized, open-label, multicentre, phase IV study evaluating palbociclib plus endocrine treatment versus a chemotherapy based treatment strategy in patients with hormone receptor positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer in a real world setting.

TPS1115 Background: Although endocrine based therapy is recommended as first-line treatment in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in patients with an HER2-/HR+ tumour up to 50% of the patients receive chemotherapy. Palbociclib (P) a CDK4/6 inhibitor improves PFS by 42% in endocrine sensitive and resistant HER2-/HR+ MBC when added to an endocrine therapy (ET). Patients included in clinical trials are often criticised not to be representative for real world breast cancer patients. Methods: Patients with first-line HER2-/HR+ MBC who are candidate for mono-chemotherapy will be eligible to be randomised 1:1 to receive either P plus ET per label or mono-chemotherapy per investigator´s choice with or…

Analysis of everolimus starting dose as prognostic marker in HR+ mBC patients treated with everolimus (EVE) + exemestane (EXE): Results of the 3rd interim analysis of the non-interventional trial BRAWO.

1061 Background: BRAWO is a German non-interventional study, which enrolled more than 2400 patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic, hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer treated with EVE and EXE. Main objectives are a) the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, b) prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in clinical routine, and c) the sequence of therapy when EVE is used in daily clinical practice. Methods: In this update on the results of the 3rd interim analysis (data cut-off 18-Oct-2016) we analyzed under real world conditions the first 1.078 patients followed up until disease progression for their progression-free survival (PFS) events. A two-…

Characteristics and Clinical Outcome of Breast Cancer Patients with Asymptomatic Brain Metastases

Background: Brain metastases (BM) have become a major challenge in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Methods: The aim of this analysis was to characterize patients with asymptomatic BM (n = 580) in the overall cohort of 2589 patients with BM from our Brain Metastases in Breast Cancer Network Germany (BMBC) registry. Results: Compared to symptomatic patients, asymptomatic patients were slightly younger at diagnosis (median age: 55.5 vs. 57.0 years, p = 0.01), had a better performance status at diagnosis (Karnofsky index 80&ndash

Predicting Prognosis of Breast Cancer Patients with Brain Metastases in the BMBC Registry—Comparison of Three Different GPA Prognostic Scores

Several scores have been developed in order to estimate the prognosis of patients with brain metastases (BM) by objective criteria. The aim of this analysis was to validate all three published graded-prognostic-assessment (GPA)-scores in a subcohort of 882 breast cancer (BC) patients with BM in the Brain Metastases in the German Breast Cancer (BMBC) registry. The median age at diagnosis of BM was 57 years. All in all, 22.3% of patients (n = 197) had triple-negative, 33.4% (n = 295) luminal A like, 25.1% (n = 221) luminal B/HER2-enriched like and 19.2% (n = 169) HER2 positive like BC. Age ≥60 years, evidence of extracranial metastases (ECM), higher number of BM, triple-negative subtype and l…

Median progression free survival (PFS) for patients treated with everolimus (EVE) plus exemestane (EXE) for HR plus mBC in routine clinical practice : Results of the 3rd interim analysis of the non-interventional trial BRAWO

e12547 Background: BRAWO is a non-interventional study, which enrolled more than 2400 patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic, hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer treated with EVE and EXE. Main objectives are a) the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, b) prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in clinical routine, and c) the sequence of therapy when EVE is used in daily clinical practice. We report updated data of the 3rd interim analysis, including PFS. Methods: This updated analysis (data cut-off 18 Oct 2016) covers data of the first 1345 documented pts with at least one follow up under therapy. Here we describe the baseline characteristics…
