6557 Background: Trials that inadequately include underrepresented minority (URM) populations widen inequities in cancer care. We assessed reporting patterns, representation, and trends of URM representation in breast cancer (BC) trials. Methods: We analyzed all phase 2/3 trials for age disparity and trials recruiting from the US for racial/ethnic disparity amongst BC RCTs (1990-2021). Enrollment-incidence ratios (EIR), which compare trial proportions (TP) from age subgroups against global estimates of incidence in the corresponding age group (from Global Burden of Disease) and racial/ethnic subgroups against US-population-based incidence in the corresponding racial/ethnic group (from SEER 22), were calculated. Individual-trial EIRs were pooled using random-effects meta-analyses. EIRs of <0.80 indicated meaningful underrepresentation, while EIRs >1.20 indicated meaningful overrepresentation. Meta-regression was used to explore associations between key trial characteristics and EIR, and trends in EIR over the last three decades. Results: Of 842 global trials with 490,657 participants, 232 (27.6%) reported the number of participants in specific age strata and 144 (17.1%) reported outcomes by age. Only 60 trials recruited exclusively from the US. Of these, 41 (68.3%) reported race and 24 (40.0%) reported ethnicity, and 2 (3.3%) analyzed outcomes by race. Older adults aged ≥65 years (TP: 24.3%; EIR: 0.53 [95% CI: 0.47-0.60]) and Hispanic women (TP: 5.3%; 0.54; 0.40-0.75) were underrepresented across global trials and US-only trials respectively. Black women were significantly underrepresented in trials that led to FDA approval (0.38; 0.25-0.58) but not in US-only trials. Stratified analysis by BC subtype (with subtype-specific population incidence) showed underrepresentation of Black women in US-only trials for HER2+ BC (0.66; 0.47-0.93), Hispanic women in ER+ BC (0.42; 0.20-0.90), Asians in triple-negative BC (0.24; 0.11-0.53), and older women in HER2+ BC (0.35; 0.31-0.40) and triple-negative BC (0.36; 0.29-0.45). From 1990-2021, the representation of older women declined significantly (meta-regression coefficient for EIR: -0.4 per 10 years), while Black and Hispanic representation showed no significant change. Black (p = 0.02) and Hispanic representation (p = 0.05) worsened significantly in larger trials. Conclusions: Published reports of BC trials do not consistently report the inclusion of URM. Older and Hispanic women were consistently underrepresented, whereas Black women were underrepresented in large, practice-changing trials. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: SG was approved in 2020 for the treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The most common grade 3/4 adverse event in the ASCENT trial was neutropenia (51.2%) with a 6% incidence of febrile neutropenia. 1 Package insert recommendations do not endorse primary prophylactic growth factor support, rather only initiating if severe neutropenia occurs on treatment.2 Objective: This study retrospectively reviewed the utilization of growth factor support in patients (pts) with metastatic TNBC initiated on SG at each Mayo Clinic Enterprise site. Methods: We performed a multi-center, retrospective review of all pts with TNBC who received SG from January 2021 to December 2021 at Mayo Clinic sites in Minnesota, Florida, Arizona, and its community-based health system network. Data collected included history of neutropenia with previous cycles of SG resulting in a treatment delay, number of cycles, grade of neutropenia and cycle/day of treatment plan when growth factor added. Pts who received only one dose of SG were excluded. The Fisher’s exact test was utilized to compare the difference in the use of primary prophylaxis between sites. Results: 67 pts received at least two doses of SG. Within this cohort, 42 pts (63%) received growth factor support during treatment with SG. Growth factor support was most often added during the first two cycles (59.5%). A total of 12 patients initiated growth factor with no history of delays related to neutropenia and without neutropenia at the time of administration. Eleven of these pts had growth factor support added on Cycle 1 as primary prophylaxis. Primary prophylaxis was most common at Mayo Clinic – Rochester compared to the other sites (Table 1), however there was not a statistically significant difference (p=0.27). There were 26 pts (39%) with a treatment delay due to neutropenia while receiving SG, of which 21 (81%) were managed with the addition of growth factor (13 pegfilgrastim, 8 filgrastim). The median number of cycles for all pts was 5 (range: 1-25). Pts who received growth factor were treated with a median of 5 cycles (range: 1-25) and pts who did not receive growth factor were treated with a median of 4 cycles (range: 1-19) (p=0.10). Conclusions: We observed wide variability in the use of prophylactic growth factor between Mayo Clinic sites with SG. The optimal practice of growth factor use with SG warrants further exploration.

Abstract Introduction: We performed matched case-control studies utilizing cohorts of postmenopausal women with ER+ breast cancer receiving adjuvant aromatase inhibitors (AI) on MA.27 [anastrozole, exemestane] or PreFace [letrozole] to assess the association between estrogen suppression after 6 months of treatment and an early breast cancer (EBC) event within 5 years of AI initiation (Clin Cancer Res 2020;26:2986-98). We found a significant 3.0-fold increase in risk of an EBC event for those taking anastrozole with levels of estrone (E1) ≥1.3 pg/mL and estradiol (E2) ≥0.5 pg/mL, but not for exemestane or letrozole. Given these findings we designed a prospective pharmacodynamic (PD) study to evaluate the impact of anastrozole (1 mg/day: ANA1) on E1 and E2 levels, and among those with inadequate estrogen suppression (IES: E1 ≥1.3 pg/mL and E2 ≥0.5 pg/mL), to evaluate the safety and PD efficacy of high-dose anastrozole (10 mg/day: ANA10), which has been found to be safe in prior clinical trials (Cancer 1998;83:1142-52). Methods: Post-menopausal women with stage I-III, ER ≥1% positive/HER2-negative breast cancer who were candidates for anastrozole were eligible after completion of locoregional therapy and chemotherapy, as clinically indicated. Women who were pre-menopausal at diagnosis were not eligible. All patients received 8-10 weeks of ANA1, after which those with adequate estrogen suppression (AES: E1&lt; 1.3 pg/mL or E2&lt; 0.5 pg/mL) came off study. Those with IES went on to receive ANA10 for 8-10 weeks, followed by letrozole (2.5 mg/day: LET) for 8-10 weeks. All patients were managed at their treating oncologist’s discretion following study discontinuation. E1 and E2 blood levels were measured pre-treatment and after completion of each treatment cycle by a CLIA-approved liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry in the Immunochemical Core Laboratory at Mayo Clinic. With a sample size of 29 patients with IES after ANA1, a one-sided binomial test of proportions with a significance level of 0.05 will have an 87% chance of rejecting the proportion with AES after ANA10 is at most 25% (Ho) when the true proportion is at least 50%. Specifically, the null hypothesis is rejected if the number of women with AES after ANA10 is 12 or more. Data lock was July 6, 2022. Results: Of the 161 women enrolled from April 2020 through May 2022, 3 withdrew consent prior to start of ANA1 and 2 were ineligible; thus, 156 women comprised the study cohort. Median patient age was 64 years (range 44-86), 10% of patients were of Hispanic ethnicity and/or non-white race, and 15% received chemotherapy. Six patients remain on ANA1, and 10 discontinued ANA1 due to refusal (7), adverse event (AE) (2), or COVID-19 (1). Forty-one of the remaining 140 patients (29.3%; 95%CI: 21.9-37.6%) had IES with ANA1. Nine of these 41 patients did not go on to ANA10 due to refusal (6) or AE (3). Of the 32 patients who started ANA10, 8 remain on treatment, 5 discontinued due to refusal (3) or AE (1-grade 2 urinary tract infection; 1-grade 1 palpitations), and 19 had a blood draw 45 days or more after starting ANA10. No grade 3-5 AEs or grade 2 hot flashes or arthralgias were reported. Of these 19 patients, 14 achieved AES with ANA10 (73.7%; 95%CI: 48.8-90.9%). All 19 patients switched to LET of which 3 remain on treatment, 1 is missing E1/E2 data, and 15 had a blood draw 45 days or more after starting LET. Of these 15 patients, 10 maintained AES, 2 acquired AES with LET, and 3 no longer had AES. Anastrozole and letrozole drug levels will be reported at the meeting. Conclusions: Approximately 29% of postmenopausal women with ER+/HER2- BC receiving adjuvant anastrozole 1 mg/daily had IES. A majority of these patients achieved AES with dose escalation to ANA10 without tolerability issues. E1 and E2 levels are logical biomarkers given the mechanism of action of anastrozole, and further study utilizing them to determine the optimal dose of anastrozole for a given patient should be performed.

Genome-wide fragmentation patterns in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma are strongly influenced by cellular origin due to variation in chromatin accessibility across cell types. Such differences between healthy and cancer cells provide the opportunity for development of novel cancer diagnostics. Here, we investigated whether analysis of cfDNA fragment end positions and their surrounding DNA sequences reveals the presence of tumor-derived DNA in blood. We performed genome-wide analysis of cfDNA from 521 samples and analyzed sequencing data from an additional 2147 samples, including healthy individuals and patients with 11 different cancer types. We developed a metric based on genome-wide differences in fragment positioning, weighted by fragment length and GC content [information-weighted fraction of aberrant fragments (iwFAF)]. We observed that iwFAF strongly correlated with tumor fraction, was higher for DNA fragments carrying somatic mutations, and was higher within genomic regions affected by copy number amplifications. We also calculated sample-level means of nucleotide frequencies observed at genomic positions spanning fragment ends. Using a combination of iwFAF and nine nucleotide frequencies from three positions surrounding fragment ends, we developed a machine learning model to differentiate healthy individuals from patients with cancer. We observed an area under the receiver operative characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.91 for detection of cancer at any stage and an AUC of 0.87 for detection of stage I cancer. Our findings remained robust with as few as 1 million fragments analyzed per sample, demonstrating that analysis of fragment ends can become a cost-effective and accessible approach for cancer detection and monitoring.

Poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are approved for BRCA1/2 carriers with HER2-negative breast cancer in the adjuvant setting with a high risk of recurrence as well as the metastatic setting. However, the indications for PARPi are broader for patients with other cancer types (e.g., prostate and ovarian cancer), involving additional biomarkers (e.g., ATM, PALB2, and CHEK) and genomic instability scores. Herein, we summarize the data on PARPi and breast cancer and discuss their use beyond BRCA carriers.

Background: Thirty-six states, including Florida, have legalized marijuana for medical and/or recreational use, yet how it is used and perceived by persons with cancer is not well understood. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of use, perceived benefits, and side effects of medical marijuana (MMJ) among cancer patients in Florida. Methods: For this descriptive, cross-sectional study, anyone residing within the state of Florida who was diagnosed or treated for a malignancy within the last five years and had used MMJ was eligible. An online survey containing questions about dosing, side effects, perceived benefits, and barriers to use was used. Descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to analyze quantitative data. Responses to open-ended questions were coded and categorized. Results: Sleep ( n = 112), pain ( n = 96), and anxiety ( n = 82) were the most common symptoms participants used MMJ to relieve and overall felt it was highly effective. MMJ was well tolerated with a minority (10.3%) reporting any adverse effects. Cost was the most frequent barrier reported by participants (42.8%). A variety of legal, bureaucratic, and system-related barriers were described. Conclusion: Participants perceived MMJ to be helpful in alleviating cancer symptoms. They held negative perceptions of the way MMJ is implemented and integrated into their oncology treatment plan. Enhanced communication and patient/provider education on MMJ are needed to inform patient decision making.

TPS610 Background: Several studies demonstrated worsening disease-free survival in patients who failed to achieve complete pathological response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), particularly in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. Despite the recent approval of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with residual disease after NAC approximately 12% of patients still develop recurrent and metastatic disease. TPIV100 is a multi-epitope vaccine that includes a pool of 4 degenerate HER2-derived HLA-DR epitopes, which activate CD4 helper T cells, admixed with GM-CSF. In our previous phase I trial this vaccine was shown to be safe in combination with trastuzumab in stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer after completion of standard of care chemotherapy. Furthermore, this vaccine also generated robust long-lasting T-cell immune responses and antibody immunity against HER2. Methods: This trial is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase II trial of TPIV100 in combination with T-DM1 in stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer patients with residual disease after NAC. This trial is currently opened through the ACCRU consortium. Eligible patients include those with stage II-III HER2+ with residual disease, in the breast and/or lymph nodes, after trastuzumab ± pertuzumab-based NAC, with ECOG PS ≤ 2 and adequate organ function. Patients with baseline left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%, history of trastuzumab-related cardiac toxicity, myocardial infarction or stroke < 6 months, history of congestive heart failure, autoimmune disease, immunocompromised patients with known HIV or those on chronic steroid, hypersensitivity to GM-CSF, and other active malignancy < 3 years are excluded. TPIV100 or placebo, in combination with GM-CSF, will be given concurrently with T-DM1. To ensure that TPIV100 in combination with T-DM1 is safe, there is a run-in phase with 20 patients treated with the combination. If there is no significant dose-limiting toxicity observed in the run-in phase, the trial will be expanded to the randomized phase II portion, which will include 240 patients. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion with ER/PR as a stratification factor. The primary endpoint is invasive disease-free survival, and the secondary endpoint includes immunogenicity of TPIV100 as assessed by IFN-g ELIspot analysis. Correlative studies include assessment of helper T-cell response distribution (including Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh), HER2-specific antibody immunity, and HLA genotype. Currently, 20 patients in the run-in phase have been enrolled. Enrollment to the randomized phase II portion is expected to begin in March 2022. Clinical trial information: NCT04197687.

Abstract Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CKD4/6i) have demonstrated clinical utility extending progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for advanced hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer patients. The efficacy in early-stage breast cancer (eBC) is unclear, with conflicting results from adjuvant CDK4/6i trials on invasive disease-free survival. Thus, there is a critical need to identify biomarkers of response (BoR) to determine which, if any, eBC patients could benefit from this treatment. This BoR could also stratify advanced BC patients for likelihood to respond to CDK4/6i. Metabolism is influenced by both genome and environment, and changes in the metabolome can be correlated with drug responsiveness. Thus, metabolite BoRs may serve to identify eBC patients for which CDK4/6i would offer a therapeutic benefit.Methods: Plasma and serum samples from 50 early-stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer patients, treated with neoadjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (palbo) and aromatase inhibitor (AI) anastrozole on NeoPalAna trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01723774), were collected from treatment-naïve patients (BL) and 3 consecutive time points: anastrozole,1 mg daily for 4 weeks (C1D1), anastrozole plus palbo,125 mg daily, for 15 days (C1D15), and for 4-5 months before surgery (SURG). Metabolites were extracted from all samples via methanol and chloroform precipitation and quantified using an unbiased, non-destructive, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based profiling platform (Olaris®, Inc., Waltham, MA). Statistical analysis and machine learning was used to identify differential metabolites and generate predictive models. A separate validation set of samples was collected from a subset of patients (N=6) who received an additional cycle of palbo treatment prior to surgery to assess model accuracy. Results: Non-parametric differential expression analysis of BL/C1D1, BL/C1D15, and C1D1/C1D15 identified 53 ,97, and 90 differential NMR resonances in plasma (p&lt;0.05) and 36, 34, and 25 differential NMR resonances in serum (p&lt;0.05), respectively. Based on the proliferative marker Ki67 levels at C1D15, 37 patients were classified as responders (Ki67≤2.7%) and 6 patients as non-responders (Ki67&gt;2.7%). Analysis of the responder (R) and non-responder (NR) groups identified that 13 plasma and 14 serum resonances (21 unique resonances and 6 overlapping) were differentially expressed (p&lt;0.05) at C1D1. Many of the differential resonances could be mapped back to amino acid metabolites including several branched chain amino acids such as leucine, valine, and isoleucine, and positively charged amino acids such as lysine. A Olaris® BoR score was generated using 5 differential resonances that had an AUC of 0.931 (training set) and 100% accuracy when predicting palbo-response in a blinded test set (N=6).Conclusion: The differential metabolites identified from matching plasma and serum samples suggest that, compared to serum, plasma has a better representation of the metabolic changes associated with palbo treatment-response. While comparing samples from R and NR patients, amino acids were found to be consistently altered in both serum and plasma before palbo treatment. In addition, a BoR model based on select metabolites could precisely stratify palbo-response in a blinded dataset. A larger independent validation cohort is ongoing.

Abstract Background: FGFR dysregulation is observed in multiple cancers and targeting FGFR is an emerging therapeutic strategy with FDA approved treatments in bladder and cholangiocarcinoma. Here we examined the prevalence of FGFR mutations, fusions, and high-level amplifications in breast cancer, stratified by receptor subtype and local/metastatic status, in both Foundation Medicine (FM) and institutional Mayo Clinic (MC) cohorts. Methods: For the FM cohort, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) examining at least 324 genes for all classes of alterations, including FGFR1-4 was carried out for 32,048 breast cancers during the course of routine clinical care in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified lab (Foundation Medicine Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA). Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on up to 1.1 Mb, microsatellite instability high (MSI-High) was determined on up to 114 loci and predicted ancestry from &gt;10,000 SNPs. Estrogen receptor (ER) and HER2 status were available for a subset of FM samples. Additionally, 131 patients with metastatic breast cancer from a subset of patients at three Mayo Clinic sites (MC cohort) with clinical characteristics and cancer-panel DNA sequencing data from a CLIA-certified lab (Tempus, Chicago, IL) were included. Results: In the FM cohort, the prevalence of FGFR1-4 high-level amplification (CN≥10) was 10.1%, while mutations (1.5%) and fusions (0.72%) were rare. Most amplifications occurred in FGFR1 (9.2%); most fusions and mutations occurred in FGFR2 (0.46%, 0.77%). FGFR alteration prevalence was highest in ER+/HER2- subtype (14.4%) and lowest in HER2+ disease (7.7%). FGFR alterations were more common in IDC (11.7%) than ILC (7.7%), p&lt;3E-08. FGFR alterations were more prevalent in the metastatic setting relative to breast-biopsied disease (13.6% v 10.1%; OR = 1.4; p=2E-17), especially in the HER2+ (OR =1.9, p=0.004) and ER-/HER2- (OR = 1.9, p = 0.05) disease; no enrichment was seen in the ER+/HER2- metastases (OR =1.0, p = 1). FGFR amplifications were observed at a higher prevalence in patients with predicted East Asian ancestry, relative to patients with European ancestry (12.1% v 10.0%; p = 0.03). Overall, the most common activating mutations in FGFR were FGFR2 N549K (n=85), FGFR1 N546K (n=78), FGFR4 V510M (n=28), FGFR2 K659E (n=28), FGFR4 V510L (n=20), and FGFR2 Y375C (n=15). The most common recurrent fusions were FGFR3:TACC3 (n=36), FGFR2:TACC2 (n=17), FGFR1:TACC1 (n=9), FGFR1:BAG4 (n=6), and FGFR2:ATE1 (n=5). In patients with FGFR amplifications, the most frequently co-occurring alterations were ZNF703 (78.4%), TP53 (51.5%), CCND1 (36.1%), FGF3/4/19 (32.9 - 34.4%), PIK3CA (30.7%), MYC (29.6%), ESR1 (17.2%), EMSY (16.3%), and PTEN (10.6%). Significant co-occurrence was observed for a number of genes including FGF3/4/19, CDK4, and CDK8 (all OR&gt;2, p&lt;1E-07); mutual exclusivity was observed with PIK3R1, BRCA1, and BRCA2 (all OR &lt;0.5, p&lt;4E-13), among other genes. In the 131 metastatic tumors from MC, the prevalence of FGFR1-4 high-level amplifications was 19.8% [FGFR1 (12.4%), FGFR2 (7.4%), and FGFR3 (0.8%)]. The prevalence of high-level FGFR amplifications did not differ by clinical subtypes: HR-/HER2- (7/31), HR+/HER2- (15/79), and HER2+ (2/11), p=0.68. Conclusions: High-level FGFR amplifications are observed in &gt;11% of breast cancers, especially the ER+/HER2- subtype, while mutations/fusions are rare. These data support the ongoing studies evaluating targeted therapies for FGFR amplified ER + breast cancer. Correlations with clinical information (MC cohort) and associations with actionable alterations are ongoing and may inform potential combination strategies.

132 Background: Enhancing equitable oncologic care is an increasingly emphasized priority. Our study aims to identify aspects of breast cancer (BC) care in which differences exist based on insurance coverage. Methods: We performed a retrospective, case control study, (from 2014-2020); 39 Hispanic ethnicity uninsured patients (UP) from underserved communities with newly diagnosed BC and 119 insured patients (IP) diagnosed at Mayo Clinic Arizona (MCA). Patients were matched 3:1 for age, stage, year of diagnosis, estrogen receptors and HER-2 status. Demographic information, clinical variables, and zip code level specific socioeconomic information were compared. Continuous variables were compared by Wilcoxon rank-sum test and categorical variables by chi-square test. All patients were treated at MCA. Results: Similar treatment patterns with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery were observed between groups. Primary language was Spanish for 94% of UP and English for 97.5% of IP. The majority of UP were of Hispanic ethnicity (97.4%); IP were 83.2% non-Hispanic White, 9.2% Hispanic, 3.4% African American. Zip code level information reflected more unemployment with a median of 10.6% versus 6.9% p < 0.001, percent of high school or lower (53.0 % v 23.2 %, p < 0.001), and lower income for UP (33733.5 v 64728.0 p values < 0.001).BMI was significantly higher for UP (30.6 V 24.7, p = 0.005), with presence of more co-morbidities; diabetes (28.2% v 5.0%, p < 0.001), hypertension (35.9 % v 20.2%, p = 0.046), dyslipidemia (28.2% v 12.6%, p = 0.023), metabolic syndrome (p 23.7% v 8.5, p = 0.013), and tobacco use (17.9% v 2.5%, p < 0.001). Genetics consultation was performed for 62.2% IP versus 35.9% UP (p = 0.004), lower acceptance of nutrition consultation for UP (29.4% vs 7.4%, p = 0.024). Median time from mammogram to biopsy (25.5 days vs. 14 days, p = 0.056), and interval from diagnosis to treatment (62 days vs. 39 days) (p = 0.001) were less favorable for UP compared to IP. Conclusions: In comparing the status of UP and IP with newly diagnosed BC, we identified greater prevalence of co-morbidities and adverse social determinants of health in the former group. We identified access to genetic counseling, nutrition consultation, and timeliness of diagnostic biopsy and initiation of treatment as disparate features in the care pathway. These observations allowed development of tailored interventions to achieve greater equity in delivery of BC care at Mayo Clinic.
