Abstract PS5-12: Preliminary correlative analysis of clinical outcomes with PIK3CA mutation (mut) status from a phase I/Ib study of GDC-0077 in patie…

Abstract Background Mutations in p110α, encoded by PIK3CA, are present in ~40% of HR+/HER2- BCs. GDC-0077, a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and mutant PI3Kα degrader, elicits antitumor activity in PIK3CAmut preclinical models as a single agent and when combined with endocrine therapy (ET). New evidence suggests BCs harboring multiple PIK3CAmut exhibit increased signaling through the PI3K/AKT pathway and are more sensitive to PI3Kα inhibitors compared with BCs with a single PIK3CAmut. We report a preliminary analysis of PIK3CAmut status with clinical outcomes from an ongoing study of GDC-0077 alone or with ET (letrozole/fulvestrant) ± palbociclib (palbo) in pts with PIK3CAmut HR+/HER2- mBC (NCT03…
Abstract PD5-2: Ph1b study of the PI3K inhibitor taselisib (GDC-0032) in combination with letrozole in patients with hormone receptor-positive advanc…

Abstract Background: Taselisib (GDC-0032) is a next-generation PI3K inhibitor with increased anti-tumor activity against PIK3CA mutant (MT) cancers. Taselisib is an orally bioavailable, potent, and selective inhibitor of Class I PI3K alpha, delta, and gamma isoforms, with 30-fold less inhibition of the PI3K beta isoform relative to the PI3K alpha isoform. Preclinical data show that taselisib has enhanced activity against PI3K alpha isoform (PIK3CA) MT breast cancer cell lines and enhanced antitumor activity when combined with letrozole. Clinical data with single-agent taselisib also showed increased tumor shrinkage in patients with PIK3CA MT breast cancer as compared to patients with PIK3CA…
A polymorphism at the 3'-UTR region of the aromatase gene defines a subgroup of postmenopausal breast cancer patients with poor response to neoadjuva…

Abstract Background Aromatase (CYP19A1) regulates estrogen biosynthesis. Polymorphisms in CYP19A1 have been related to the pathogenesis of breast cancer (BC). Inhibition of aromatase with letrozole constitutes the best option for treating estrogen-dependent BC in postmenopausal women. We evaluate a series of polymorphisms of CYP19A1 and their effect on response to neoadjuvant letrozole in early BC. Methods We analyzed 95 consecutive postmenopausal women with stage II-III ER/PgR [+] BC treated with neoadjuvant letrozole. Response to treatment was measured by radiology at 4th month by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Three polymorphisms of CYP19A1, one in exon 7 (rs700519) and two in…
Adjuvant anastrozole versus exemestane versus letrozole, upfront or after 2 years of tamoxifen, in endocrine-sensitive breast cancer (FATA-GIM3): a r…
2018
Background: Uncertainty exists about the optimal schedule of adjuvant treatment of breast cancer with aromatase inhibitors and, to our knowledge, no trial has directly compared the three aromatase inhibitors anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole. We investigated the schedule and type of aromatase inhibitors to be used as adjuvant treatment for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Methods: FATA-GIM3 is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial of six different treatments in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed invasive hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that had been completely remov…
Development of new strategies to assess the safety of controlled ovarian stimulation for fertility preservation in breast cancer patients
2023
El càncer de mama és la neoplàsia més comuna en dones en edat reproductiva. Les millores en el diagnòstic i el tractament d'aquesta malaltia han suposat un important descens en la mortalitat en els darrers 20 anys. Tot i això, el tractament quimioterapèutic del càncer de mama resulta altament gonadotòxic, sovint danyant la funció ovàrica i implicant una pèrdua de la fertilitat posterior. Per aquest motiu, oferir la possibilitat de preservar la fertilitat en dones amb desitjos reproductius posteriors resulta de vital importància. Entre les opcions per preservar la fertilitat femenina, la criopreservació d'ovòcits i/o embrions destaca com la tècnica amb més èxit a la pràctica clínica habitual…
