e13036 Background: In January 2023, the FDA approved elacestrant for ESR1-mutated, ER+/HER2- MBC based on a companion diagnostic cell free (cf)DNA test (Guardant Health). In this study, we analyze the trends of liquid biopsy utilization at Mayo Clinic (MC) over a 3 year period to understand the impact of this drug approval on testing patterns and identify emergent alterations in patients (pts) with MBC. Methods: We extracted clinically performed Guardant 360 and Guardant 360 CDx ordered at MC sites in Rochester (MN), Florida (FL), Arizona (AZ), and across 9 additional Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS) sites. Pts with MBC were identified using the EMR and analyzing visit diagnosis codes and staging information. Shifts in testing patterns were analyzed over a 3 year period from January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2023. Data was collected on the number of tests, serial testing, frequency of pathogenic mutations, and emergent mutations in ESR1 and PIK3CA. Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical values. Results: Between 2021-2023, 2,741 pts with MBC were seen across all sites. A total of 408 cfDNA tests were performed in 370 unique patients with MBC. Most pts (90%) had 1 test performed. The proportion of pts with MBC tested was 85/1350 (6.3%) in 2021, 77/1495 (5.2%) in 2022, and 208/1558 (13.4%) in 2023. The increased proportion of pts tested in 2023 was statistically significant compared to prior years (p<0.0001), while no difference was observed between 2021 and 2022 (p 0.19). Testing patterns varied by site, with FL ordering the highest number of tests, followed by MN and AZ. Of the 34 providers practicing during the entire period seeing more than 10 MBC pts, the number of providers ordering Guardant testing increased from 15/34 (2021) and 14/34 (2022) to 20/34 (2023), though not statistically significant (p 0.15). Of the 41% with EMR-documented staging available, testing was highest in the ER+/HER2- (81.3%) subtype, followed by TNBC (13.6%) and then HER2+ (5.2%). The most commonly identified mutations identified in the first testing were PIK3CA (41.1%), TP53 (40.5%), ESR1 (30.5%), and ATM (13.2%). D538G (8.0%), Y537N (4.4%), and Y537S (3.5%) were frequent emergent mutations seen in ESR1. Conclusions: We observed an increase in cfDNA testing at the start of 2023 which aligns with the FDA approval of elacestrant. We observed variation by site and individual providers that warrants further exploration to improve cfDNA testing in MBC pts at Mayo Clinic.

11145 Background: T-DXd is increasingly used in mBC. A T-DXd toxicity of special interest is interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis (ILD), occurring in 10-15% of pts in the DESTINY-Breast trials, and with potential lower incidence/severity in earlier line settings [Krop et al, ASCO 2023]. However, in routine practice, T-DXd may be used in pts with more heavily pre-treated mBC and previously exposed to other antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) [Premji et al SABCS 2023]. We evaluated the incidence/severity of T-DXd related ILD in mBC at Mayo Clinic. Methods: We retrospectively identified pts with mBC who received ≥1 dose of T-DXd at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, between July 2022-December 2023. Demographic, mBC, and pulmonary clinical variables were abstracted from the clinical records. Data was summarized using descriptive statistics. Diagnosis of ILD was determined by treating clinicians, and severity to CTCAE V5 based on clinical documentation. Results: 77 pts with mBC received T-DXd during the study period. All were female, the majority (70, 91%) were Caucasian, and median age was 58. 53 (69%) had HER2-low mBC (37 HR+, 16 HR-) and 24 (31%) had HER2+ mBC (17 HR+, 7 HR-). 31 (40%) were active or former smokers. 11 (14%) had pulmonary comorbidities, including 6 (7.8%) with asthma, 2 (2.6%) with prior pneumonitis, and 3 (3.9%) with other pulmonary comorbidities. They had previously received a median of 1 line of endocrine therapy, and 4 lines of chemotherapy, with 20 (26%) having received another ADC. 17 (22%) developed any grade ILD [G1: 3 (4%), G2: 7 (9%), G3: 2 (3%), G4: 1 (1%), G5: 4 (5%)]. Among pts with ILD of any grade, 13 (76.5%) presented with at least 1 symptom (cough/SOB). The median number of T-DXd cycles prior to onset of any grade ILD was 6 (range 2-13), or 18 (range 6-39) weeks. 5 (29%) pts with any grade ILD received a prior ADC. Of pts with ≥G3 ILD (n=7), all were Caucasian, 2 (30%) were prior smokers, none had prior lung disease, and had received a median of 5 prior lines of chemo, with 4 (57%) having received a prior ADC. All grade ≥2 ILDs were treated with systemic steroids, and 1 also received IVIG. CT chest was used for diagnosis of all ILD. 7 pts (41%) required hospitalization, all of whom had bronchoscopy, with 5 (29%) requiring intubation. All pts with G1 ILD (3, 18%) restarted T-DXd without ILD recurrence. Conclusions: In this case series,22% of ps treated with T-DXd experienced ILD (5% G5), higher than the rate observed in the pivotal DESTINY-Breast trials, possibly due to real-world use of T-DXd in more heavily pre-treated pts and in pts with pulmonary comorbidities.

1597 Background: The impact of COVID19 pandemic on patient health beliefs and healthcare systems has adversely affected mammographic breast cancer screening (MBCS) during the initial stages of the pandemic. The aims of our study were to determine whether the initial decrease in MBCS rates persisted or if there was a rebound in later stages and to quantify the impact on urban and rural populations. Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed data from March 2017 to March 2023 to assess whether eligible women received annual MBCS during this timeframe. We included women aged 40-75 years, drawn from the integrated Mayo Clinic system, encompassing nearly 60 primary care practices in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, representing a broad cross-section of the United States (US) population. US census data was utilized to classify a county as urban or rural. We divided the study period into 4 categories:1) pre-COVID-19 pandemic (March 1, 2017-March 10, 2020), 2) early pandemic (March 11, 2020-March 10, 2021; pre-vaccination period), 3) mid- pandemic (March 11, 2021-March 10, 2022; delta and omicron variant dominant period), and 4) late pandemic (March 11, 2022-March 1, 2023; recovery period). Utilizing the Poisson regression model, we compared the incidence rate ratio (IRR) for rates of MBCS across the 4 predefined time periods. Multivariable modeling was performed to assess the significance of MBCS rates with urbanicity while controlling for the year (2017-2022) and age. Results: By race and ethnicity, the women in this cohort were White (92%), Black (3.1%), Asian (3%) and other (1.9%). The median age was 57 years and the cohort included 239, 804 women aged 40-75 years. MBCS rates was 49.2% in 2017, 47.1% in 2018, 46.4% in 2019, and decreased to 42.1% in 2020 and improved to 44.7% in 2021 and 43.8% in 2022. Compared with the pre-COVID-19 pandemic period, there was a significant decrease in MBCS rate in the early pandemic (IRR= 0.886, 95% CI 0.879, 0.892, p<0.001). Though the MBCS rate improved in the mid-pandemic period, it remained below the pre-pandemic level (IRR=0.941, 95% CI 0.934, 0.948, p<0.001). Similarly, during the late stage of the pandemic, the MBCS rate remained lower than the pre-pandemic level (IRR=0.922, 95% CI 0.915, 0.928, p<0.001). Rural counties had a lower MBCS rate compared with urban counties (IRR = 0.936, 95% CI 0.931, 0.941, p<0.001). Conclusions: This study confirms the negative impact of the early COVID-19 pandemic on MBCS, and it revealed its persistent effect, as the current MBCS rate remains below the pre-pandemic rate. These findings were more evident in rural counties. Factors contributing to the long-lasting impact are being analyzed with the intent to develop and implement targeted solutions to improve the MBCS rate.

1037 Background: TBCRC041, a randomized phase 2 trial of alisertib (A) ± fulvestrant (F) in women with HR+/HER2- MBC demonstrated promising clinical activity for alisertib (1). Interrogation of baseline (PreC1) and end of cycle 1 (EOC1) cfDNA and CTCs may identify biomarkers associated with response to A±F. Methods: Plasma cfDNA was sequenced using the Guardant INFINITY platform, which includes genomic and methylated tumor fraction (mTF) analysis. Pathogenic variants were determined using publicly available databases and Mayo Clinic annotation pipelines. CTCs were identified as nucleated, EpCAM+/ cytokeratin+/ CD45- cells and assessed for ER/HER2 staining (RareCyte, Seattle). PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progression or death. EOC1-PFS differs from PFS as time starts at C2D1. Stratified log-rank tests and conditional Cox modeling were used to assess whether PFS or EOC1-PFS differed by mutations in ESR1 or PIK3CA, pre-CTC ≥ 5, or mTF>1%. Results: Of the 91 eligible pts, 84 progressed, and 73 were deceased. In the 86 pts with PreC1-cfDNA results, variants were identified in ESR1 (42; 48.8%), PIK3CA (36; 41.9%), AKT1 (7; 8.1%), PTEN(7; 8.1%), BRCA1 (4; 4.7%), and BRCA2 (7; 8.1%). Pts with a PIK3CAmut had significantly decreased PFS (HR 1.8; 95%CI: 1.1 -2.9, p=0.014) but not by ESR1mut status (p=0.583). PreC1 and EOC1-mTF were determined for 78 and 76 pts, respectively. PreC1-mTF was 0-1% in 21; 1.1-10.0% in 27; and 10.1-100% in 30. mTF levels remained between 0-1% in 17 pts fell to 0-1% in 11 pts, and was 0-1% in 5 pts without a preC1-mTF determination. PFS did not differ with respect to PreC1-mTF (p=0.210), but EOC1-PFS was worse in pts with mTF >1% (HR 3.0; 95%CI: 1.6 -5.2, p<0.001). PreC1 and EOC1-CTC were determined for 78 and 76 pts. 36 (46.2%) pts had a PreC1 CTC count ≥ 5. EOC1-CTC levels remained at (n=17) or increased to (n=1) ≥ 5 and was ≥ 5 in 2 pts without a preC1-CTC determination. EOC1-PFS was not significantly different for EOC1-CTC ≥ 5 (p=0.065), but was significantly decreased in pts with PreC1-CTC≥5 (HR=1.8; 95%CI: 1.1-3.0; p=0.018). Broader cfDNA NGS panel and CTC-derived ER/HER2 staining results will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: Among patients receiving A±F, PFS varied based on the PIK3CAmutation status. cfDNA and CTC assessment PreC1 and EOC1 provided complementary information. Further validation in larger datasets is needed. 1. JAMA Oncol 2023;9:815. Clinical trial information: NCT02860000 .

TPS612 Background: The TAILORx and RxPONDER trials demonstrated that RS identifies many postmenopausal pts with node-neg and node-pos BC and RS ≤25, who do not benefit from addition of ACT to endocrine therapy (ET). Both trials also showed that certain subsets of premenopausal pts (node-neg/high clinical risk/RS 16-20, node-neg/RS 21-25, and node-pos/RS ≤25) benefited from adding ACT to ET. Most premenopausal pts in these trials did not receive ovarian function suppression (OFS) as part of their ET regimen. Given the observed benefit from OFS in high-risk premenopausal pts with HR+/HER2- BC in the SOFT/TEXT trials, many questioned whether all or part of the observed ACT benefit in the TAILORx/RxPONDER trials may have been the result of chemotherapy-induced OFS. To address this question, we developed OFSET, a phase III, multicenter clinical trial comparing OFS+ET v ACT+OFS+ET. Methods: We hypothesize that addition of ACT to OFS+ET is superior to OFS+ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early-stage BC pts with HR+/HER2- tumors, and a 21-gene RS between 16-25 (for pN0 pts) and 0-25 (for pN1 pts). Secondary objectives include invasive disease-free survival, overall survival, distant recurrence-free interval, breast cancer-free interval, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Pts must be node-neg with RS 16-20 (plus high clinical risk), or RS 21-25, or have 1-3 positive nodes with RS ≤25. Stratification is by nodal status/RS status (pN0 RS 16-25 v pN1 RS 0-15 and pN1 RS 16-25), intent to receive CDK4/6 inhibitor (yes; no), and age (18-39 v ≥40). Pts are randomized after surgery to either OFS+ET or ACT+OFS+ET. ET is an aromatase inhibitor (AI). Choice is per investigator discretion; tamoxifen is allowed if AI is not tolerated or if OFS is incomplete. Radiotherapy will be administered per investigator discretion per protocol guidelines. The HRQOL substudy will assess differences in severe menopausal symptoms, measured by the FACT ESS-19 score between arms, as well as increased pain severity (PROMIS). Blood and tumor specimens will be collected for future research. Accrual of 3,960 pts is anticipated to be completed in 7 yrs, 7 mos. Per NSABP B-28 and RxPONDER data, 5yr IBCFS of pN1 pts on the ACT+OFS+ET arm is estimated at 92.3%. Based on TAILORx data, 5yr IBCFS of pN0 pts on the ACT arm is ~95%. Assuming 56% of pts to be pN0 and 44% pN1, and a 0.5% annual loss-to-follow-up rate, the definitive analyses to detect a hazard ratio: 0.75 with ACT+OFS+ET v OFS+ET, with one-sided α of 0.025 and 80% power, will require 380 IBCFS events, expected to occur~11 yrs after study initiation. OFSET was activated Aug 2023. Clinical trial information: NCT05879926 .

Abstract Purpose: We previously reported that postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-α–positive breast cancer receiving adjuvant anastrozole 1 mg/day (ANA1) with estrone (E1) ≥1.3 pg/mL and estradiol (E2) ≥0.5 pg/mL [inadequate estrogen suppression (IES)] had a threefold increased risk of a breast cancer event. The objective of this study was to determine if increasing anastrozole to 10 mg/day (ANA10) could result in adequate estrogen suppression (AES: E1 &lt;1.3 pg/mL and/or E2 &lt;0.5 pg/mL) among those with IES on ANA1. Patients and Methods: Postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-α–positive breast cancer planning to receive adjuvant ANA1 were eligible. E1 and E2 were assessed pre- and post-8 to 10 weeks of ANA1. Those with IES were switched to 8- to 10-week cycles of ANA10 followed by letrozole 2.5 mg/day. E1 and E2 were assessed after each cycle. Anastrozole concentrations were measured post-ANA1 and post-ANA10. Primary analyses included patients who documented taking at least 80% of the planned treatment (adherent cohort). Results: In total, 132 (84.6%) of 156 eligible patients were ANA1 adherent. IES occurred in 40 (30.3%) adherent patients. Twenty-five (78.1%) of 32 patients who began ANA10 were adherent, and AES was achieved in 19 (76.0%; 90% confidence interval, 58.1%–89.0%) patients. Anastrozole concentrations post-ANA1 and post-ANA10 did not differ by estrogen suppression status among adherent patients. AES was maintained/attained in 21 (91.3%) of 23 letrozole-adherent patients. Conclusions: Approximately 30% of ANA1-adherent patients had IES. Among those who switched to ANA10 and were adherent, 76% had AES. Further studies are required to validate emerging data that ANA1 results in IES for some patients and to determine the clinical benefit of switching to ANA10 or an alternative aromatase inhibitor.

Abstract Background: Identifying pts with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) who benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) has been a major research focus over the past 20 years. Development and clinical application of genomic classifiers such as the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) has contributed to the biologic understanding of BC and has refined pt selection for ACT. The TAILORx and RxPONDER clinical trials demonstrated that RS identifies many postmenopausal pts with node-negative and node-positive BC and RS &lt; 25, who do not benefit from the addition of ACT to endocrine therapy (ET). However, both trials also showed that certain subsets of premenopausal pts (node-negative/high clinical risk/RS 16-20, node-negative/RS 21-25, and node-positive/RS &lt; 25) benefited from the addition of ACT to ET. Most premenopausal pts in these two trials did not receive ovarian function suppression (OFS) as part of their ET regimen. Given the observed benefit from OFS in high-risk premenopausal pts with HR-positive/HER2-negative BC in the SOFT and TEXT trials, many questioned whether all or part of the observed ACT benefit in the TAILORx/RxPONDER trials may have been the result of chemotherapy-induced OFS. To address this question, OFSET is a Phase III, multicenter clinical trial evaluating the addition of ACT to OFS+ET vs. OFS+ET alone. Methods: We hypothesize that the addition of ACT to OFS+ET is superior to OFS+ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early-stage BC pts with HR-positive/HER2-negative tumors, and a 21-gene RS between 16-25 (for pN0 pts) and 0-25 (for pN1 pts). Secondary objectives include invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), overall survival (OS), distant recurrence-free interval (DRFI), breast cancer-free interval (BCFI), and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Eligible pts must be node-negative with RS 16-20 (plus high clinical risk), or RS 21-25, or have 1-3 positive nodes with RS &lt; 25. Stratification is by nodal status/RS status (pN0 RS 16-25 vs pN1 RS 0-15 and pN1 RS 16-25), intent to receive CDK4/6 inhibitor (yes; no), and age (18-39 vs ≥40). Pts are randomized after surgery to either OFS+ET or ACT followed by OFS+ET. ET is an aromatase inhibitor per investigator discretion, but tamoxifen is allowed if pts do not tolerate the AI or if OFS is incomplete. Radiation therapy will be administered per investigator discretion according to protocol guidelines. The HRQOL sub-study will assess differences in severe menopausal symptoms, measured by the FACT ESS-19 score, between the arms, as well as increased pain severity (PROMIS) during ACT+OFS+ET compared to OFS+ET. Blood and tumor specimens will be collected for future research. The accrual of 3,960 pts is anticipated to be completed in seven years and seven mos. Based on data from NSABP B-28 and RxPONDER, the 5-year IBCFS of pN1 pts on the ACT+OFS+ET arm is estimated at 92.3%. Based on data from TAILORx, the 5-year IBCFS of pN0 pts on the ACT arm is ~95%. Assuming 56% of the pts to be pN0 and 44% pN1, a 0.5% annual loss-to-follow-up rate, the definitive analyses to detect a hazard ratio: 0.75 with ACT+OFS+ET vs. OFS+ET, with one-sided alpha of 0.025 and 80% power will require 380 IBCFS events, which are expected to occur ~11 years after study initiation. The OFSET study is expected to be activated in the third quarter of 2023. Current accrual (06-19-2023) is 0/3,960 Support: U10CA180868, U10CA180822, UG1CA189867, U24CA196067. NCT05879926.

Abstract Background: Low levels of HER2 expression (HER2-low) have recently emerged as a therapeutic target in patients (pts) with breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and demographic variables associated with HER2 expression, as well as the value of HER2-low as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for palbociclib benefit in pts enrolled in the PALLAS trial. Methods: The phase III PALLAS trial investigated the addition of palbociclib to adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) in pts with stage II-III hormone receptor-positive BC. The aims of this analysis are (1) to assess the association between the presence of low levels of HER2 expression with demographic and clinicopathological parameters, (2) to test the prognostic value of HER2-low status on invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), and overall survival (OS) and (3) to assess the value of HER2 expression as a predictive biomarker of response to palbociclib. HER2-low was defined as HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) 1+ or IHC 2+ with negative in situ hybridization; all pathologic evaluation was performed locally. Pts with HER2-0 and Her2-low BC were included in this analysis; those with HER2-positive BC or missing HER2 status were excluded. Association of HER2 with other baseline covariates were tested with Chi-squared tests. Prognostic and predictive power of HER2 were assessed with Cox Models. Multivariable models included age, T-stage, N-stage, grade and progesterone receptor (PR) expression. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% Confidence intervals (CI) are reported. Results: From the original PALLAS intention-to-treat population (N = 5,753), 5304 pts (92.2%) were included in this analysis. Among these, 2,254 pts (42.5%) were classified as HER2 IHC 0 (HER2-0) and 3,050 (57.5%) as HER2-low (1,838 with IHC 1+ and 1,212 with IHC 2+). For this analysis, median follow-up was 59.8 months. Compared to HER2-0, pts with HER2-low tumors had statistically higher estrogen receptor expression levels (mean expression 89.2% vs 88.2%, p = 0.019), lower PR expression levels (65.9% vs 68.2%, p = 0.007). Importantly, HER2-low status varied significantly across 21 participating countries (range 16.7% to 75.6%; p&lt; 0.001) and was more frequent in pts enrolled in North America (63.1%) than in Europe (53.4%) and other regions (53.4%) (p &lt; 0.001). No differences in HER2 expression were observed according to anatomic stage, T-stage, N-stage, histological grade, age, menopausal status, primary surgery type, prior radiation, prior chemotherapy, or baseline performance status. There were no statistically significant differences in IDFS, DRFS or OS according to HER2 status in univariate or multivariable Cox models (prognostic value, HR provided in the Table). There was no significant interaction between the HER2 status and the benefit to palbociclib in IDFS, DRFS or OS (Table). Similar results were obtained when HER2-0 was compared to HER2 1+ and HER2 2+ separately. Conclusions: In this large, prospective and international cohort, no differences were observed in clinical parameters, prognosis, or differential benefit from palbociclib (predictive value) between HER2-0 and HER2-low tumors. Significant geographic variability was observed in the prevalence of HER2-low status, suggesting a high degree of variation in pathologic assessment of HER2 expression without impact on outcomes.

AbstractIntroductionStructured data capture requires defined languages such as minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (mCODE). This pilot assessed the feasibility of capturing 5 mCODE categories (stage, disease status, performance status (PS), intent of therapy and intent to change therapy).MethodsA tool (SmartPhrase) using existing and custom structured data elements was Built to capture 4 data categories (disease status, PS, intent of therapy and intent to change therapy) typically documented as free‐text within notes. Existing functionality for stage was supported by the Build. Participant survey data, presence of data (per encounter), and time in chart were collected prior to go‐live and repeat timepoints. The anticipated outcome was capture of >50% sustained over time without undue burden.ResultsPre‐intervention (5‐weeks before go‐live), participants had 1390 encounters (1207 patients). The median percent capture across all participants was 32% for stage; no structured data was available for other categories pre‐intervention. During a 6‐month pilot with 14 participants across three sites, 4995 encounters (3071 patients) occurred. The median percent capture across all participants and all post‐intervention months increased to 64% for stage and 81%–82% for the other data categories post‐intervention. No increase in participant time in chart was noted. Participants reported that data were meaningful to capture.ConclusionsStructured data can be captured (1) in real‐time, (2) sustained over time without (3) undue provider burden using note‐based tools. Our system is expanding the pilot, with integration of these data into clinical decision support, practice dashboards and potential for clinical trial matching.
