German Adjuvant Intergroup Node Positive (GAIN) study: A phase III trial to compare IDD-ETC versus EC-TX in patients with node-positive primary breast cancer—Final efficacy analysis.
1009 Background: Intense dose-dense (idd) epirubicin (E), paclitaxel (T), cyclophosphamide (C) (idd-ETC) resulted in a superior disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to conventional...
Neoadjuvant bevacizumab and anthracycline-taxane-based chemotherapy in 678 triple-negative primary breast cancers; results from the geparquinto study (GBG 44).
Abstract Background We evaluated the pathological complete response (pCR) rate after neoadjuvant epirubicin, (E) cyclophosphamide (C) and docetaxel containing chemotherapy with and without the addition of bevacizumab in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Patients and methods Patients with untreated cT1c-4d TNBC represented a stratified subset of the 1948 participants of the HER2-negative part of the GeparQuinto trial. Patients were randomized to receive four cycles EC (90/600 mg/m2; q3w) followed by four cycles docetaxel (100 mg/m2; q3w) each with or without bevacizumab (15 mg/kg; q3w) added to chemotherapy. Results TNBC patients were randomized to chemotherapy without (n =…
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-…
Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With or Without Carboplatin in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Positive and Triple-Negative Primary Breast Cancers
Purpose Modulation of immunologic interactions in cancer tissue is a promising therapeutic strategy. To investigate the immunogenicity of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive and triple-negative (TN) breast cancers (BCs), we evaluated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immunologically relevant genes in the neoadjuvant GeparSixto trial. Patients and Methods GeparSixto investigated the effect of adding carboplatin (Cb) to an anthracycline-plus-taxane combination (PM) on pathologic complete response (pCR). A total of 580 tumors were evaluated before random assignment for stromal TILs and lymphocyte-predominant BC (LPBC). mRNA expression of immune-activating (CXCL9, …
Impact of prognostic factors on long-term outcomes in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts) receiving bevacizumab (B) plus paclitaxel as first-line cytotoxic treatment.
e12007 Background: B combined with chemotherapy (CT) significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) vs CT alone in the first-line treatment of HER2-negative MBC. In a...

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…
Efficacy and Safety of First-Line Bevacizumab (BEV) Combined with Paclitaxel (PAC) According to Age: Subpopulation Analysis of a Large, Multicenter, Non-Interventional Study in Patients (Pts) with HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC).
Abstract Background: In three randomized phase III trials (E2100, AVADO, RIBBON-1), the combination of Bev with taxane-based therapy significantly improved PFS and response rate versus taxane alone in HER2-negative MBC. Subpopulation analysis of AVADO suggested that the magnitude of the benefit derived from Bev was similar in older and younger pts (≥65 vs <65 years). To gain further information on the safety and efficacy of first-line Bev–pac in older pts treated in the real-life setting, we conducted a subpopulation analysis of data from an ongoing multicenter non-interventional study initiated after the approval of Bev in Germany. Materials and methods: Pts who had received no prio…
