6531 Background: Annual mammography is recommended to screen residual breast tissue for new cancers and recurrent disease after treatment for early stage breast cancer. This study aimed to assess mammography rates over time in breast cancer survivors. Methods: We used administrative claims data from a large U.S. commercial insurance database, OptumLabs, to retrospectively identify privately- and Medicare Advantage-insured women with operable breast cancer who had residual breast tissue after definitive breast surgery between 2006 and 2015. We required coverage for at least 13 months following surgery. For each subsequent 13-month time period, we only included women without a loss of coverage, bilateral mastectomy, metastatic breast cancer diagnosis, or non-breast cancer diagnosis. We calculated the proportion of patients who had a mammogram during each 13-month period following breast surgery. We used multivariable logistic regression to test for factors associated with mammography in the first 13 months. Results: The cohort included 26,011 women followed for a median of 2.9 years (IQR 1.9-4.6) after surgery; 63.1% were less than 65 years of age, and 74.4% were white. In their first year of follow-up, 86% underwent mammography, but by year 7, this decreased to 73%. Fewer than 1% underwent MRI instead of mammography. In multivariable analysis, mammograms were less likely during the first year after surgery among women aged < 50 years (odds ratio [OR], 0.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6 to 0.8), African Americans (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.7 to 0.8), patients who underwent mastectomy (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6 to 0.7), and patients residing in the Western part of the country (OR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.7 to 0.9). Those with 1-2 comorbidities were more likely (OR, 1.1; 95% CI 1.1-1.2) than those with none to have a mammogram during that period. Mammography use did not differ significantly by year of diagnosis (2006-2015). Conclusions: Even in an insured cohort, a substantial proportion of breast cancer survivors do not undergo annual surveillance mammography. Mammography use falls as the time from the early stage breast cancer diagnosis increases. Understanding factors associated with lack of mammographic screening may help improve survivorship care.

1043 Background: In estrogen receptor (ER) positive MBC, mutations (e.g. ESR1), identified from tumor biopsies or cfDNA, confer resistance. The concordance between mutations observed in tumor and cfDNA and the implications for response to Z-endoxifen, a potent anti-estrogen, are unknown. Methods: We previously conducted a phase I trial of Z-endoxifen in endocrine refractory, ER positive MBC. Seven dose levels were considered ranging from 20 to 160 mg/day followed by expansion cohorts (EC) of 40, 80, and 100 mg/day. Pretreatment blood samples (all pts) and fresh tumor biopsies (EC) were collected prospectively. Tumor and cfDNA were evaluated by targeted NGS. Results: 41 pts (38 evaluable) were enrolled. Prior endocrine therapy included aromatase inhibitors (37/38, 97%), fulvestrant (22/38, 58%) and tamoxifen (26/38, 68%). Substantial endoxifen exposure without DLTs at doses above 80 mg/day led to a halt in dose escalation and opening of the EC. Overall clinical benefit (stable > 6 months [7 pts.] or partial response by RECIST criteria [3 pts.]) rate was 26.3% (95%CI: 13.4-43.1%). cfDNA was obtained from 36 pts and mutations were identified in 13 (36%) including ESR1 [ Y537N or D538G] (5), PIK3CA [ H1047R or E542K] (8), TP53 [ K132R, R248Q, R267Q, or H179Y] (4), AKT ( Q79K) (1), and KRAS ( G12D) (1). In 5 pts with cf ESR1 mutations, 4 had additional cfDNA mutations including PIK3CA (3), and TP53 (1). PFS was shorter in pts with cfDNA mutations relative to those without (median: 61 vs.132 days; log-rank p = 0.021). Discordance was observed between tumor and cfDNA mutations where 3/7 PIK3CA tumor mutations were detected by cfDNA, 1/2 TP53 tumor mutations were detected by cfDNA, and 0/1 AKT tumor mutations were detected by cfDNA. Conversely, 2 pts had cfDNA mutations (either ESR1, TP53 or AKT) undetected in tumor. Conclusions: The absence of cfDNA mutations in patients with endocrine resistant, MBC treated with Z-Endoxifen was associated with significantly longer PFS. Given the discordance between tumor and cfDNA sequence data, future studies must determine which approach maximizes prognosis and prediction of benefit for estrogen-targeted therapy.

Abstract Background Axillary web syndrome (AWS) can develop following breast cancer surgery and presents as a tight band of tissue in the axilla with shoulder abduction. Objective The objectives were to determine the prevalence and natural history of AWS and the association between AWS and function, range of motion, pain, lymphedema, and body mass index (BMI). Design This study was a longitudinal prospective cohort study utilizing a repeated measures design. Methods Axillary web syndrome, function, shoulder range of motion, pain, and lymphedema (using circumference, bioimpedance spectroscopy, tissue dielectric constant) were assessed in women at 2, 4, and 12 weeks and 18 months following breast cancer surgery. Prevalence of AWS and the association with the measured outcomes were analyzed. Results Thirty-six women agreed to participate in the study. The cumulative prevalence of AWS was 50% (18/36) at 18 months following breast cancer surgery. AWS was identified as a risk factor for reduced function. Women with AWS had statistically reduced range of motion, lower BMI, and higher number of lymph nodes removed compared to the non-AWS group. Forty-one percent (13/32) of women had AWS at 18 months. AWS reoccurred in 6 women following resolution, and a new case developed beyond the early postoperative period. The overall prevalence of physical impairments ranged from 66% to 97% within the first 18 months following surgery regardless of AWS. Limitations Limitations include a small sample size and potential treatment effect. Conclusion AWS occurs in approximately 50% of women following breast cancer surgery. It can persist for 18 months and potentially longer, develop beyond the early postoperative time period, and reoccur after resolution. Clinicians need to be aware of the chronicity of AWS and its association with reduced range of motion and function.

Abstract Purpose: Hyperactivation of AKT is common and associated with endocrine resistance in estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer. The allosteric pan-AKT inhibitor MK-2206 induced apoptosis in PIK3CA-mutant ER+ breast cancer under estrogen-deprived condition in preclinical studies. This neoadjuvant phase II trial was therefore conducted to test the hypothesis that adding MK-2206 to anastrozole induces pathologic complete response (pCR) in PIK3CA mutant ER+ breast cancer. Experimental Design: Potential eligible patients with clinical stage II/III ER+/HER2− breast cancer were preregistered and received anastrozole (goserelin if premenopausal) for 28 days in cycle 0 pending tumor PIK3CA sequencing. Patients positive for PIK3CA mutation in the tumor were eligible to start MK-2206 (150 mg orally weekly, with prophylactic prednisone) on cycle 1 day 2 (C1D2) and to receive a maximum of four 28-day cycles of combination therapy before surgery. Serial biopsies were collected at preregistration, C1D1 and C1D17. Results: Fifty-one patients preregistered and 16 of 22 with PIK3CA-mutant tumors received study drug. Three patients went off study due to C1D17 Ki67 &gt;10% (n = 2) and toxicity (n = 1). Thirteen patients completed neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery. No pCRs were observed. Rash was common. MK-2206 did not further suppress cell proliferation and did not induce apoptosis on C1D17 biopsies. Although AKT phosphorylation was reduced, PRAS40 phosphorylation at C1D17 after MK-2206 persisted. One patient acquired an ESR1 mutation at surgery. Conclusions: MK-2206 is unlikely to add to the efficacy of anastrozole alone in PIK3CA-mutant ER+ breast cancer and should not be studied further in the target patient population.
