271 Background: Many studies have shown that fatigue is associated with poor outcomes such as quality of life and physical function in breast cancer survivors.Early treatment of symptoms that result in persistent fatigue may be a strategy to mitigate long-term fatigue.As a result, we studied symptoms and developed risk estimates for patients that are most likely to develop fatigue by pre-surgery and follow up among patients treated on the I-SPY 2 neoadjuvant trial. I-SPY 2 is a phase-II adaptive trial for high-risk early-stage breast cancer patients. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study of 306 women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy +/- targeted therapy, patients complete electronic surveys of symptoms via 34 PRO-CTCAE items and QOL via 9 PROMIS instruments. Fatigue is collected as part of the PROMIS survey and scored using Health Measures. Study timepoints are screening (SC), weekly study treatment (ST), 12 weeks (12w), pre-surgery (PS) and at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months (FU1-FU4) following surgery. Correlation between symptoms and fatigue at equal timepoints was quantified using spearman correlations and BH-adjusted p-values. For symptom odds analysis, symptoms were binarized such that those that had an average grade of mild or above (severity), rarely or above (frequency) or a little bit or above (interference) between ST weeks 1-6 were considered present. Clinically significant (CS) increase in fatigue was defined as an increase >=0.5 standard deviation (SD) in mean from baseline. Logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios of factors associated with fatigue. Results: Baseline PROMIS fatigue mean score was 47.14 (SD 9.31) with a median of 47.45. A CS increase in fatigue from baseline was seen in 55% of patients at 12w, and 61% of patients pre-surgery. Of the patients that had a CS increase in fatigue at any point prior to surgery, 45.7% had persistent fatigue through FU1-4. Symptoms associated with Fatigue at 12w were shortness of breath, headache, and nausea (P< 0.03). At PS, fatigue was significantly correlated with GI symptoms, neuropathy, and shortness of breath (P< 0.03). Risk estimates for patients that filled out symptom surveys at early timepoints (weeks 1-6) and also had fatigue were evaluated. Patients with early GU (genitourinary) symptoms had higher risk of fatigue at IR (OR=9.33, p=0.02, 88.9% in cases vs 33.3% in controls). Patients with early GI symptoms at PS (OR=8.56, p=0.03, 90.1% vs 50%), or FU2-4 (OR= 5.88 and 7.36, p= 0.04 and 0.02, 80% vs 39.1% and 81.8% vs 36.3%) also had a higher risk of developing fatigue. Conclusions: A CS increase in fatigue during treatment and follow up is seen in the majority of patients and is associated with a large number of persistent symptoms.

11113 Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are valuable for understanding treatment tolerability and toxicity. I-SPY2 is a phase-II neoadjuvant clinical trial for breast cancer with electronic PROs and quality of life (QOL) assessments. We sought to understand how well the GP5 self-reported tolerability item reflected toxicity burden and QOL during treatment and follow-up in I-SPY 2 participants. Methods: Our study included 306 patients who completed the FACIT Item GP5 and answered PROMIS surveys at two or more timepoints. Analysis timepoints included screening (SC), inter-regimen (IR), pre-surgery (PS), 1-month post-surgery (FU1), and 6-months post-surgery (FU2). Symptoms were assessed weekly using PRO-CTCAE and CTCAEv4.0. QOL was evaluated using PROMIS. The GP5: “I am bothered by side effects of treatment,” was used to estimate tolerability, where worse tolerability is a higher score. Odds ratios, Spearman correlation, and regularized multi-variate regression were used to evaluate the associations between individual symptoms and adverse events with GP5 scores. Results: Demographic information was available for 243 of the 306 (70.2%) participants (median age=47,73.7% white). In the 306, tolerability scores worsened over study treatment, with a maximum mean score of 1.71 at Cycle 11. Tolerability improved after treatment cessation at FU1(1.09). Mean tolerability at week 6 was 1.53. The only clinical factor that was associated with early change in tolerability (week 6 to PS) was age >50 (mean score ranged from 1.55-1.70 vs 1.29-1.45 (age<50), p<0.05). PRO-CTCAE and GP5 correlative analysis suggested that higher grade abdominal pain, decreased appetite, dizziness and blurry vision significantly associated with higher GP5 scores at multiple timepoints (p<0.05). Symptoms not associated with tolerability were nail loss, acne, hair loss, and rash (p>0.05). Additionally, the total number of low-grade (mild to moderate) symptoms a patient experienced during study treatment was significantly correlated to poor tolerability (p<0.00001). Among patients with CTCAE data, 9% had adrenal insufficiency, and higher GP5 was found across all study timepoints in those with (compared to without) adrenal insufficiency (mean GP5 = [1.7-1.9] vs [1.3-1.5] respectively). Similarly, among patients with neuropathy (14%), higher GP5 scores were reported across all study timepoints (mean GP5 = [1.8-2.3] vs [1.3-1.5] respectively). Higher GP5 scores during treatment were correlated with higher fatigue scores at PS and FU1 (p<0.02 and p<0.001) and lower physical functioning at PS (p<0.01). Conclusions: TheGP5 measure is associated with self-reported symptoms, higher grade adverse events and quality of life scores. Furthermore, greater accumulation of lower grade symptoms can lead to poor tolerability. The single measure GP5 composite score reflects multiple components of treatment toxicity.

Abstract Background: Despite evidence of substantial breast cancer risk reduction, few high-risk women adopt chemopreventive medications such as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Women with benign breast disease, such as atypical hyperplasia (AH) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), have an increased risk of developing breast cancer and derive a greater benefit from antiestrogens compared to other high-risk women. Reasons for low uptake of chemoprevention include insufficient patient and clinician knowledge about antiestrogens, time constraints during the clinical encounter, and concerns about side effects. To address these barriers, we have developed patient and provider web-based decision support tools to improve informed choice about breast cancer chemoprevention among women with AH or LCIS. Study design: We are conducting a cluster-randomized controlled trial of clinical decision support to improve chemoprevention informed choice among women with AH or LCIS and their treating providers. Twenty-six U.S. sites through the SWOG Cancer Research Network were randomly assigned 1:1 to standard educational materials alone or in combination with the patient-centered decision aid (RealRisks) and provider decision support tool (BNAV). A total of 415 patients and 200 healthcare providers will be recruited from these sites. RealRisks consists of interactive modules to calculate personalized breast cancer risk and elicit preferences on chemoprevention. The modules are available in English and Spanish. BNAV is comprised of self-directed case-based learning modules on breast cancer risk assessment and chemoprevention. Patients complete questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Providers complete surveys at baseline and after their enrolled patient’s 6-month clinical encounter. The primary endpoint is chemoprevention informed choice at 6 months, using a measure combining knowledge, attitude, and intention scales. Secondary endpoints include perceived breast cancer risk/worry, chemoprevention knowledge/intention, decision conflict/regret, shared decision-making, and chemoprevention uptake. For patients who begin chemoprevention, adherence and reasons for discontinuation are assessed annually for up to 5 years. Barriers and facilitators to implementing RealRisks and BNAV into clinic workflow will be assessed by conducting patient and provider interviews at baseline and mid-implementation. Eligibility criteria: Eligible patients include women, age 35-74 years, with AH or LCIS, no history of breast cancer, no prior use of SERMs or AIs, no bilateral mastectomies, English or Spanish-speaking, and access to the internet. Eligible providers include breast surgeons, medical oncologists, primary care providers, and physician extenders who see patients with AH or LCIS. Statistical methods: We have 90% power to detect a 15% increase in the frequency of chemoprevention informed choice with a 1-sided 0.025 level test, assuming an intraclass correlation (ICC) of 0.02 to account for clustering, roughly equal accrual at each site, 10% loss to follow-up, and ≤10% event rate in the control arm. Current/target accrual: The trial was activated on 9/1/2020. As of 7/7/2022, all 26 sites have been randomized, 157/200 providers and 184/415 patients have been enrolled. Discussion: Our hybrid effectiveness/implementation study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-level intervention in promoting informed decision-making about breast cancer chemoprevention. Study results will provide valuable insights on how the decision support tools are integrated in diverse clinical settings. Citation Format: Katherine D.

Abstract Background: I-SPY2 is a multicenter, phase 2 trial using response-adaptive randomization within biomarker subtypes to evaluate novel agents as neoadjuvant therapy for high-risk breast cancer. The primary endpoint is pathologic complete response (pCR) at surgery. The goal is to identify (graduate) regimens with ≥ 85% Bayesian predictive probability of success (i.e., demonstrating superiority to control) in a future 300-patient phase 3 1:1 randomized neoadjuvant trial with pCR endpoint within signatures defined by hormone-receptor (HR), HER2, and MammaPrint (MP) status. Regimens may leave the trial for futility (&lt; 10% probability of success), maximum sample size accrual (with probability of success ≥ 10% and &lt; 85%), or safety concerns as recommended by the independent DSMB. For HER2+ patients, the I-SPY2 control arm was 12 weekly cycles of paclitaxel+trastuzumab (TH, control) followed by doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) q2-3 weeks x4 and surgery. Patritumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits HER3. In this experimental arm for HER2+ patients, patritumab was given q3w x 4 cycles (18mg/kg loading dose followed by 9mg/kg/dose) concurrent with paclitaxel and trastuzumab q1w x 12 weeks (PTH, treatment), followed by AC q2-3w. Methods: Women with tumors ≥ 2.5cm were eligible for screening. MP low/HR+ tumors were ineligible. MRI scans (baseline, 3 weeks after start of therapy, prior to AC, and prior to surgery) were used in a longitudinal statistical model to predict pCR for individual patients. Analysis was intention to treat. Patients who switched to non-protocol therapy count as non-pCR. Patients on treatment arm therapy at the time of arm closure are non-evaluable. Graduation potential was in 3 of 10 pre-defined signatures: all HER2+, HR-/HER2+, and HR+/HER2+. Results: The PTH regimen was stopped at the recommendation of the Safety Working Group and DSMB based on a safety event (bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, Gr 3) observed in one patient. At the time of arm closure, N=31 patients had received PTH treatment; 4 patients receiving PTH were changed to non-protocol therapy and removed from the analysis. The final estimated pCR report will consider 27 PTH and 31 TH as evaluable patients. Accrual was insufficient to assess graduation, however, there appears to be good signal in the HER2+HR- but not HER2+HR+ signatures. I-SPY 2 TRIAL Est. pCR at time of arm closureSignaturesPTH (Treatment)N= 31TH (Control)N = 31All (HER2+)0.40 (0.22 - 0.59), n=310.23 (0.09 - 0.37), n=31HR-/HER2+0.64 (0.36 - 0.91), n=110.30 (0.12 - 0.47), n=12HR+/HER2+0.28 (0.08 - 0.48), n=200.20 (0.06 - 0.34), n=19 HR+/HER2+0.28 (0.08 - 0.48), n=200.20 (0.06 - 0.34), n=19The patient who developed Gr3 sensorineural hearing loss 6 days after the 2nd patritumab (and 4th paclitaxel/trastuzumab) treatment, did not recover her hearing after patritumab was stopped, and also reported Gr3 vulvovaginal pain, vulvitis, and vaginal inflammation. Other gynecological symptoms in the PTH arm include: 1 pt with Gr1 vaginal hemorrhage, and 1 pt with Gr2 dyspareunia. There was a higher frequency of Gr3 hypokalaemia (12.5% vs. 3.2%). One pt in the PTH arm reported Gr3 small intestinal obstruction which resolved with conservative management. Conclusion: The I-SPY 2 study aims to assess the probability that investigational regimens will be successful in a phase 3 neoadjuvant trial; PTH was stopped due to safety concerns, although there was activity in the HER2+ HR- signature. This is the first report of Gr3 hearing loss associated with patritumab/paclitaxel/trastuzumab, and thus attribution is uncertain.
