Abstract PD3-06: Neratinib + fulvestrant for HER2-mutant, HR-positive, metastatic breast cancer: Updated results from the phase 2 SUMMIT trial
2019
Abstract Background: HER2 mutations define a rare subset of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with a unique mechanism of oncogenic addiction to HER2 signaling. Neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated single-agent clinical activity in HER2-mutant MBC. In HER2-mutant, HR+ MBC, neratinib + fulvestrant (N+F) appears synergistic vs single-agent neratinib, possibly due to more complete inhibition of bi-directional signaling between HER2 and estrogen receptors. Here we describe interim efficacy results of the expanded HER2-mutant, HR+ MBC cohort treated with N+F from SUMMIT (NCT01953926). Methods: HR+ MBC patients (pts) with HER2 mutations documented by local te…
Efficacy and Determinants of Response to HER Kinase Inhibition in HER2-Mutant Metastatic Breast Cancer
2020
Abstract HER2 mutations define a subset of metastatic breast cancers with a unique mechanism of oncogenic addiction to HER2 signaling. We explored activity of the irreversible pan-HER kinase inhibitor neratinib, alone or with fulvestrant, in 81 patients with HER2-mutant metastatic breast cancer. Overall response rate was similar with or without estrogen receptor (ER) blockade. By comparison, progression-free survival and duration of response appeared longer in ER+ patients receiving combination therapy, although the study was not designed for direct comparison. Preexistent concurrent activating HER2 or HER3 alterations were associated with poor treatment outcome. Similarly, acquisition of m…
ER+ Breast Cancers Resistant to Prolonged Neoadjuvant Letrozole Exhibit an E2F4 Transcriptional Program Sensitive to CDK4/6 Inhibitors
2018
AbstractPurpose: This study aimed to identify biomarkers of resistance to endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancers treated with prolonged neoadjuvant letrozole.Experimental Design: We performed targeted DNA and RNA sequencing in 68 ER+ breast cancers from patients treated with preoperative letrozole (median, 7 months).Results: Twenty-four tumors (35%) exhibited a PEPI score ≥4 and/or recurred after a median of 58 months and were considered endocrine resistant. Integration of the 47 most upregulated genes (log FC > 1, FDR < 0.03) in letrozole-resistant tumors with transcription-binding data showed significant overlap with 20 E2F4-regulated genes (P =…
