Abstract Background: Overall, patients with cancer experience a greater risk of adverse outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, little is known for those with BC. Methods: CCC19 (NCT04354701) is an international cohort study aimed at investigating the impact of COVID-19 in patients with a history of or active cancer using de-identified data on patient demographics, cancer history, clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19. The current analysis includes patients from U.S. and Canada with invasive BC and laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 entered between March 17, 2020 and July 2, 2020. Co-primary outcomes were hospitalization during COVID-19 illness and 30-day all-cause mortality. Frequencies for categorical variables and medians (range) for continuous variables were estimated. Final presentation will include bivariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to identify risk factors (including BC subtypes and therapies, for which data collection is ongoing) associated with 30-day all-cause mortality and severe COVID-19 illness (composite of any hospitalization requiring supplemental oxygen, admission to an intensive care unit [ICU], use of mechanical ventilation, or death). Results: During the study period, a total of 2683 patients with cancer and COVID-19 were accrued in the CCC19 registry including 529 (20%) with invasive BC. Among patients with BC, 352 (67%) were 60 years or older; 518 (98%) were women; 275 (52%) non-Hispanic White, 116 (22%) non-Hispanic Black, 70 (13%) Hispanic, 56 (11%) in other categorizations; 178 (34%) had a smoking history; 75 (14%) ECOG performance status ≥2; 191 (36%) with >2 active comorbidities; 64 (12%) with AJCC stage IV disease at BC diagnosis; and 267 (50%) were on anti-cancer treatment including systemic therapy, radiation, or surgery within 3 months of COVID-19 diagnosis. At least 323 (61%) patients with BC had 30-day follow-up after COVID-19 diagnosis, and 35 (7%) had 90-day follow-up. COVID-19 illness at initial diagnosis required outpatient care in 288 (54%), inpatient care in 193 (36%), and ICU care in 40 (8%). Overall, 247 (47%) were hospitalized and 30-day all-cause mortality was 9%. 30-day all-cause mortality rates by receipt of major BC treatment modalities (within past 3 months) were: 10% for those on cytotoxic systemic therapy vs 5% and 12% for noncytotoxic systemic therapy and local therapy, respectively. The table shows hospitalization and mortality outcomes by major demographic and BC treatment strata. The final presentation will incorporate the latest patient accrual and evaluate independent clinical risk factors associated with serious COVID-19 outcomes in patients with BC. Conclusions: This represents the largest study to date of COVID-19 outcomes in patients with invasive BC. Nearly half of the patients with BC required hospitalization during their COVID-19 disease course and we observed a 9% 30-day all-cause mortality.

Abstract Objective: The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the change in sexual function following treatment with fractional CO2 laser therapy in breast cancer (BC) survivors with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Methods: A single-arm feasibility study of BC survivors with symptoms of GSM, including dyspareunia and/or vaginal dryness, was conducted. Participants who received three treatments with fractional CO2 laser and 4-week follow-up were contacted for patient-reported outcomes and adverse events at 12 months. Sexual function was measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Female Sexual Distress Scale Revised (FSDS-R). Descriptive statistics were calculated for patient demographics and disease characteristics for the set of participants who agreed to long-term follow-up and those who were lost to follow-up. FSFI and FSDS-R scores were summarized at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 months, as well as the change from baseline, and were compared using a Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: A total of 67 BC survivors enrolled, 59 completed treatments and 4-week follow-up; 39 participated in the 12 month follow-up. The overall FSFI score improved from baseline to 4-week follow-up (median Δ 8.8 [Q1, Q3] (QS) (2.2, 16.7)], P < 0.001). There were improvements at 4 weeks in all domains of the FSFI (P < 0.001 for each) including desire (median Δ 1.2; QS [0.6, 1.8]), arousal (median Δ 1.2; QS [0.3, 2.7]), lubrication (median Δ 1.8 (0, 3.3), orgasm (median Δ 1.2; QS [0, 3.6]), satisfaction (median Δ 1.6 (0.4, 3.2)), and pain (median Δ 1.6 (0, 3.6). The FSDS-R score also improved from baseline to 4-week follow-up (median Δ −10.0; QS [−16, −5] P < 0.001) indicating less sexually related distress. The scores of the FSFI and FSDS-R remained improved at 12 months and there were no serious adverse events reported. Conclusions: In BC survivors with GSM, the total and individual domain scores of the FSFI and the FSDS-R improved after fractional CO2 laser therapy. Video Summary: http://links.lww.com/MENO/A711.

202 Background: Fractional CO2 laser therapy is an emerging treatment for GSM. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of fractional CO2 laser therapy in BC survivors. Methods: This was a single arm feasibility study of BC survivors with dyspareunia and/or vaginal dryness. Participants received three treatments with office-based fractional CO2 laser on at least 30 day intervals and returned for a one-month follow-up. Feasibility was defined as treatment completion without serious adverse events (SAE) in a minimum of 80% of patients. Primary efficacy was evaluated using the mean change (∆) in the score on the Vaginal Assessment Scale (VAS). Secondary efficacy endpoints included mean ∆ in scores on the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI). Descriptive statistics (means and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for continuous variables and proportions for categorical variables) were used. Results: The study is ongoing with 65 patients enrolled. To date, 37 patients have completed all study treatments and follow-up. Median age for those who have completed treatment was 57 years (range 34-72). Most were ER/PR positive (78%) and Her 2 negative (81%) with stage I (43%) or II (41%) BC. Ninety-five percent were receiving endocrine therapy, most commonly aromatase inhibitors (73%). No SAEs were reported in the 37 patients who have completed study treatments and their outcomes are as follows. Based on the VAS, 78% reported moderate-severe dyspareunia and 89% reported moderate-severe vaginal dryness at baseline. At follow up, 28% reported moderate-severe dyspareunia and 28% reported moderate-severe vaginal dryness. The VAS score improved from baseline to follow up (mean ∆ 4.1; 95% CI [3.1, 5.1]). Similarly, the FSFI score improved (mean ∆ -10.0; 95% CI [-13.2, -6.9]) and the UDI score improved (mean ∆ -5.7; 95% CI [-10.1, -1.3]). Final efficacy analysis will be reported once all patients have completed all time points. Conclusions: Fractional CO2 laser treatment is feasible and tolerable in BC survivors and may reduce symptom burden from GSM. A randomized controlled trial with sham laser is currently in development. Clinical trial information: NCT03307044.
