Abstract P4-14-10: Pertuzumab overcomes chemotherapy/trastuzumab resistance in ER+/Her2+ tumors classified as luminal functional subtype by the 80-gene BluePrint assay in the prospective neo-adjuvant breast registry symphony trial (NBRST)
2016
Background The prospective Neo-adjuvant Breast Registry Symphony Trial (NBRST) enrolled over 1000 US patients between June 2011 and December 2014. The aim of NBRST study is to compare chemosensitivity as defined by pathological Complete Response (pCR) using the 80-gene BluePrint functional subtype profile vs. conventional IHC/FISH subtyping. Treatment was at the discretion of the physician utilizing standard NCCN regimens. Pertuzumab, a monoclonal antibody, inhibits the dimerization of HER2 with other HER receptors. Pertuzumab received US FDA approval for the neo-adjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer in September 2013. Essentially all patients with HER2 positive cancers were treated with chemotherapy + trastuzumab and after this date pertuzumab was added, creating 2 distinct groups of Her2 treated patients. The aim of the current analysis is to compare the pCR rate of trastuzumab (H) vs trastuzumab and pertuzumab (H + P) by conventional and BluePrint functional subtype. Methods The current analysis includes women from the NBRST study, with histologically proven breast cancer, who received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy plus H or H + P and who provided written informed consent. Pathological assessment of Her2 was done according to ASCO CAP guidelines at the time of diagnosis. BluePrint (BP) classifies patients into Luminal, HER2 or Basal-type. pCR is defined as T0/isN0. All pCRs were verified with a de-identified copy of the surgical pathology report. Fisher9s exact test was used to compare pCR rates within different subgroups. Results 252 IHC/FISH Her2+ patients received H (166) or H + P (86). The median age was 53 (range 23-81). 8% was stage I, 68% stage II and 24% stage III. 65% were ER positive. BP classified 55% of patients as HER2, 32% as Luminal, and 14% as Basal-type. The pCR rates and p-values within different subgroups of clinical Her2+ patients are provided in the table below. Conclusions Addition of pertuzumab to trastuzumab significantly increased response rate in ER+/Her2+, BP HER2 and BP Luminal patients but not in ER-negative and BP Basal patients. Pertuzumab overcame resistance to NCT/trastuzumab in a substantial proportion of the IHC/FISH Her2+/BP Luminal subgroup; indicated by a significantly increased pCR rate.
