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…
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…
Abstract P1-19-08: Neratinib + trastuzumab + fulvestrant for HER2-mutant, hormone receptor-positive, metastatic breast cancer: Updated results from t…

Abstract Background: HER2 mutations define a subset of metastatic breast cancers (MBCs) with a unique mechanism of oncogenic addiction to HER2 signaling. Neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown to have encouraging clinical activity when combined with fulvestrant in HER2-mutant, hormone receptor-positive (HR+) MBC [Smyth et al. SABCS 2018]. Genomic analyses suggest that acquired resistance to neratinib may occur by the acquisition of additional HER2 alterations, which may amplify HER2 pathway signaling [Won et al. AACR 2019]. We therefore explored whether dual HER2-targeted therapy may improve clinical benefit in this setting. Here we describe initial res…
Current treatment options for HER2-positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases
2020
Abstract Brain metastases (BMs) are frequently associated with HER2+ breast cancer (BC). Their management is based on a multi-modal strategy including both local treatment and systemic therapy. Despite therapeutic advance, BMs still have an adverse impact on survival and quality of life and the development of effective systemic therapy to prevent and treat BMs from HER2 + BC represents an unmet clinical need. Trastuzumab-based therapy has long been the mainstay of systemic therapy and over the last two decades other HER2-targeted agents including lapatinib, pertuzumab and trastuzumab emtansine, have been introduced in the clinical practice. More recently, novel agents such as neratinib, tuc…

The introduction of new high-throughput technologies in oncology and the need to apply precision medicine for cancer patients has led to the detection of several molecular alterations. Among them, activating mutations of ERBB2 have been reported in many solid tumours. In the last years, several clinical trials with covalent tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for ERBB2 mutant cancers have been conducted, with different results among several cancer types. In the SUMMIT trial, neratinib was most effective in breast cancer patients, with the majority of responders having tumours with L755S, V777L, or L869R ERBB2 mutations.1 In an elegant article published in C ancer C ell by Robichaux et al ,2 d…
Abstract PD1-05: Latest findings from the breast cancer cohort in SUMMIT - a phase 2 ‘basket’ trial of neratinib + trastuzumab + fulvestrant for HER2…

Abstract Background: HER2 mutations are oncogenic in hormone receptor positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), and may confer resistance to prior endocrine therapy but retain sensitivity to neratinib. Neratinib is an oral, irreversible, pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor with clinical activity either as a single agent or in combination with fulvestrant in HER2-mutated, HER2-non-amplified MBC. Genomic analyses suggest that acquired resistance to neratinib can occur via additional HER2 alterations, which may alter HER2-pathway signaling. We investigated whether dual HER2-targeted therapy could improve clinical benefit in a cohort of patients with HER2-mutant, HR+ MBC treated with neratin…
