5029 Background: Pembro had activity as monotherapy in pretreated advanced mCRPC. Data are presented here from cohort B (pembro + docetaxel/prednisone) of KEYNOTE-365 (NCT02861573), a phase 1b/2 umbrella study to test combinations in mCRPC. Methods: Pts who progressed on or became intolerant to ≥4 wk of abi or enza in the prechemotherapy mCRPC state and progressed within 6 mo before screening were eligible. Pts received pembro 200 mg IV with docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV Q3W plus prednisone 5 mg orally twice daily. The primary end points were safety and PSA response rate (confirmed PSA decrease ≥50%). Key secondary end points were investigator-determined ORR (RECIST v1.1), disease control rate (DCR: CR+PR+SD ≥6 mo), time to PSA progression, rPFS, and OS. Results: 72 pts (median age, 68 y; visceral disease, 36%; measurable disease, 50%) began pembro + docetaxel. Median (95% CI) follow-up was 10 (8-12) mo. Efficacy is outlined in the table. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 69 (96%) pts; most frequent (≥30%) were alopecia (43%), fatigue (40%), and diarrhea (39%). Grade 3-5 treatment-related AEs occurred in 27 (38%) pts, including 2 deaths from treatment-related AEs (pneumonitis). Most commonly reported immune-mediated AEs were infusion-related reactions (11%) and colitis (10%). Conclusions: Pembro + docetaxel/prednisone has activity in pts with mCRPC who previously progressed on second-generation hormone therapy. AEs were considered mild for the treatment combination.

532 Background: Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, debilitating paclitaxel side effect that has been primarily attributed to cumulative systemic paclitaxel exposure. Paclitaxel dose-adjustment to achieve target systemic exposure decreases but does not eliminate severe CIPN, suggesting some patients are inherently CIPN-sensitive. Ephrin ( EPHA) polymorphisms have been reported to increase CIPN occurrence (Baldwin 2012, Leandro-Garcia 2013, Boora 2016) but replication has been challenging, perhaps due to the inability to isolate CIPN-sensitivity by accounting for systemic exposure differences. The study purpose was to determine if EPHA genetic variants previously associated with CIPN occurrence are associated with CIPN-sensitivity. Methods: PN was assessed at baseline and weekly using the 8-item sensory subscale (CIPN8) of the patient-reported EORTC CIPN20 in patients receiving paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly x 12. EPHA4, EPHA5, EPHA6, and EPHA8 were sequenced in germline DNA. Associations with higher PN-sensitivity were tested for three genetic models (total variants, coding variants, and rs7349683) by incorporating genetics into previously published CIPN8 predictive models that included measured paclitaxel exposure. Significant associations were tested for association with higher risk of PN-related treatment disruption (i.e. dose decrease, delay, or discontinuation). Results: In the 59 included patients, carrying EPHA5 rs7349683 was associated with greater CIPN sensitivity (beta coefficient: 0.40, standard error: 0.14, p = 0.005), indicating these patients had a greater increase in CIPN8 during treatment than would be predicted based on cumulative paclitaxel exposure. Rs7349683 was not associated with increased PN-induced treatment disruption, perhaps due to the low number of events (n = 19). Conclusions: Using a novel approach that isolates CIPN-sensitivity by accounting for measured paclitaxel exposure, our results provide further evidence that EPHA5 rs7349683 may be a promising marker for CIPN. If additional validation studies confirm this association, genetic testing could enable personalized treatment strategies to prevent CIPN in patients with breast cancer.

508 Background: PBI is an alternative to WBI, with potentially greater therapy (tx) compliance, and better integration with chemotherapy (CTX). NSABP B-39/RTOG 0413 clinical outcome results from 2018 did not show equivalence of PBI to WBI in local tumor control; PBI was statistically inferior, but with clinically small differences. PBI may be an acceptable alternative to WBI for some women. Understanding cosmesis and quality of life (QOL) treatment outcomes is important. Methods: B-39/0413 included a prospective QOL substudy with PRO evaluation of breast cancer treatment outcomes (cosmesis, function, pain) and fatigue using BCTOS and SF-36 vitality scales. Secondary QOL parameters included treatment related symptoms, perceived convenience of care, and the BPI pain scale. The study sample was stratified by CTX or not, as CTX is given before WBI but after PBI. PRO assessments occurred before randomization, the last day of adjuvant tx [CTX or radiation], 4 wks later, and 6, 12, 24, and 36 mo later. Primary aims included comparisons of change in fatigue from baseline to end of tx and equivalency of change in cosmesis from baseline to 36 mo for PBI v WBI. Separate analyses were done for CTX and non-CTX pts, controlling for axillary dissection. Each comparison used α=0.0125. Planned sample size was 964. Results: From 3-23-05 to 5-27-09, 975 pts were enrolled in the PRO study; 950 had follow-up data. 504 did not receive CTX and 446 received CTX. In non-CTX pts, PBI had less fatigue (p=0.011) and did not meet criteria for cosmesis equivalence (97.5% CI, -0.02 to 0.22; ∆=0.20). In CTX pts, PBI had worse fatigue (p=0.011) and equivalent cosmesis to WBI (97.5% CI, -0.09 to 0.21; ∆=0.24). In both groups, PBI pts reported less pain at end of tx. In non-CTX pts, PBI had more pain at 36 mo but in CTX pts, there was no difference. Convenience of care and treatment related symptom outcomes will be presented. Conclusions: In non-CTX pts, PBI is more convenient with less fatigue and slightly poorer cosmesis at 36 mo. Cosmesis was equivalent at 36 mo in CTX pts. Support: U10CA180868, -180822, UG1CA189867.

503 Background: TAILORx established that endocrine therapy (ET) alone is non-inferior to adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) plus ET in EBC and a 21-gene RS of 11-25, with some benefit if ≤50 years (y) with RS 16-25 (PMID: 29860917). We evaluated whether clinical risk (tumor size & histologic grade) provides additional prognostic information to RS, a secondary trial objective. Methods: Clinical risk by was assessed by Adjuvant! (version 8.0) using MINDACT criteria (PMID 27557300), defined as low clinical risk (LCR - tumor ≤3 cm and low grade, <2 cm and intermediate grade, or ≤1 cm and high grade) or high clinical risk (HCR -not meeting LCR criteria). Results: Of 9427 women with RS and clinical risk information, 70% were LCR and 30% HCR, with comparable distribution by age ( ≤50 vs. >50). The RS was 26-100 in 9% of LCR and 27% of HCR patients, with similar distributions by age. Although LCR/HCR provided additional prognostic information in each RS category for iDFS, including RS 0-10 (9-year rates 86.7% vs. 75.7% LCR vs. HCR), 11-25 (85.4% vs. 78.9%), and 26-100 (82.0% vs. 70.4%), iDFS rates were similar irrespective of CT (no vs. yes) in the entire RS 11-25 cohort whether LCR (85.8% vs. 85.1%) or HCR (79.8% vs. 77.9%). DRFI rates were also similar irrespective of CT in the RS 11-25 cohort or > 50y group whether LCR (96.0% vs. 96.1% overall; 96.5% vs. 96.0% > 50y) or HCR (92.3% vs. 89.9% overall; 91.7% vs. 90.7% >50y). For women ≤50y, the absolute reduction in distant recurrence from CT with a RS of 16-20 (N=923) was -0.2% (standard error [SE]±2.1%) for LCR vs. 6.5%(SE±4.9%) for HCR (vs. 1.6%[SE±1.9%] overall), whereas for a RS 21-25 (N=492) it was 6.4% (SE±4.9%) for LCR vs. 8.6% (SE±6.2%) for HCR (vs. 6.5%[SE±3.7%] overall). Conclusions: Clinical risk stratification provides additional prognostic information to the 21-gene RS, but not prediction of CT benefit in the overall TAILORx population or those > 50y, and facilitates more refined estimates of absolute CT benefit for women ≤50y with a RS 16-25.

Background. The role of liver transplantation (LT) in the management of portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to better understand provider attitudes and practice patterns regarding the management of patients with POPH and to assess the concordance between clinical practice and current guidelines. Methods. We performed a multicenter survey study of hepatologists and pulmonary hypertension (PH) physicians at US LT centers that performed >50 transplants per year. Survey responses are summarized as number (%). Associations were assessed using a Wilcoxon-rank sum, chi-square, or Fisher exact test, as appropriate. Results. Seventy-four providers from 35 centers were included. There was marked variability regarding screening practices, management, and attitudes. Forty-two percent responded that POPH nearly always or often improves with LT, and 15.5% reported that POPH rarely or never improves. In contrast to current guidelines, 50.7% agreed that treated POPH should be an indication for LT in patients with compensated cirrhosis. Hepatologists were more likely than PH physicians to agree that POPH should be an indication for LT (P = 0.02). Forty-nine percent of respondents thought that the current POPH Model for End-stage Liver Disease exception criteria should be modified, and management of patients with an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure and normal pulmonary vascular resistance differed from current policies. Conclusions. There is marked variability in provider attitudes and practice patterns regarding the management of POPH. This study highlights the need for prospective studies to inform practice and for improved implementation of practice guidelines in order to standardize care.

AbstractObjectivesLong-term follow-up is important for determining performance characteristics of thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA).MethodsHistologic or 3 or more years of clinical follow-up was used to calculate performance characteristics of thyroid FNA before and after implementation of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC). The impact of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) classification was also investigated.ResultsFollow-up was obtained for 1,277/1,134 and 1,616/1,393 aspirates/patients (median clinical follow-up, 9.9 and 4.4 years, pre- and post-TBSRTC, respectively). Nondiagnostic, suspicious for follicular neoplasm, and suspicious for malignancy (SFM) diagnoses decreased and benign diagnoses increased post-TBSRTC, while atypical rate remained less than 1%. Negative predictive value for benign nodules and positive predictive value (PPV) for SFM increased significantly. Eleven nodules were reclassified as NIFTP, slightly decreasing PPV/risk of malignancy (ROM).ConclusionsAppropriate ROM for thyroid FNA can be achieved through application of TBSRTC terminology with minimal use of atypical category.

Abstract Background: In CALGB 40601 (Alliance, NCT00770809), a neoadjuvant phase III trial of paclitaxel and trastuzumab with or without lapatinib for 12 weeks for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, 33% of pretreatment tumors were Luminal A subtype, however, 69% of post-treatment samples with residual disease were Luminal A subtype. In addition, 71% of Luminal B (12/17) and 67% of HER2-Enriched (6/9) tumors changed into Luminal A, while 80% of Luminal A (20/24) remained Luminal A (Carey et al. J Clin Oncol. 2016). It is not known whether this shift to Luminal A was transient or permanent. Methods: We selected matched pairs of pre- and post-treatment 40601 samples with tumor purity &gt;10% based upon DNA analyses to ensure all samples contained tumor. PAM50 intrinsic subtyping was applied to the 40601 samples gene expression data using a two-step normalization process based on The Genome Cancer Atlas, and PAM50 training set. In addition, a HER2-enriched expression subtype patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor called WHIM35, was studied and was either untreated (n=10), or treated with lapatinib at 220 mg/kg for 1 week (wk) (n=5), for 2 wks (n=8), or for 3 wks (n=4). We also treated WHIM35 tumors with lapatinib for 2 wks (on) and then removed laptinib for 1 wk (off) (n=6), or for 2 wks on and 2-4 wk off (n=6), and finally for 3 wks on, and 1 wk off (n=3). PAM50 intrinsic subtyping was applied to the PDX gene expression data and subtype assessed as well as a genomic-based proliferation score. ANOVA p-values were calculated by comparing median values across all gene signature or correlation scores. Results: We found 10 pairs of 40601 samples that kept their tumor purity values, however, their subtype changed to Luminal A after treatment (i.e., in the residual disease), and in these cases no minor tumor subclone became a dominant clone in the post treatment sample. Pretreatment subtypes were 6 Luminal B, 3 Luminal A, and 1 HER2-enriched. The tumor purity values did not change after the treatments, but correlation to Luminal A was significantly higher (p=0.01), while correlation to HER2-enriched (p=0.004) and proliferation signature scores (p=0.003) were significantly lower in the post-treatment samples. Among the WHIM35 PDX tumors, one sample changed its subtype from HER2-enriched to Luminal A after the lapatinib treatment and the rest remained HER2-enriched, suggesting environmental differences between patient samples and the PDX model. However, correlation to Luminal A was significantly higher in all lapatinib treated WHIM35 samples (p=8.3e-12), and notably went back to the initial low levels just one week after removing lapatinib. Likewise, correlation to HER2-enriched (p=1.2e-10) and proliferation signature scores (p=6.2e-12) also got lower while treated with lapatinib, but went back to the initial levels after cessation of treatment. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the apparent subtype change during HER2-targeting therapy is not permanent, but is more likely a transient state change from a HER2-enriched subtype into a more Luminal A-like state. When we plan additional treatment strategies using residual disease phenotypes, it may not be clear what is the true subtype of the sample due to this inherent plasticity.

Abstract Background: Conventional WBI after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer decreases ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR), yielding comparable results to mastectomy. Accelerated PBI appears effective in reducing IBTR by treating only the tumor bed area. As the majority of IBTR occur at or in the vicinity of the tumor bed, we hypothesized that PBI would be as effective as WBI in controlling IBTR. The primary aim of NSABP B-39/RTOG 0413 was to determine if PBI provides equivalent local tumor control post lumpectomy compared to WBI in pts with early-stage breast cancer. The equivalency test was based on a 50% margin of increase in the hazard ratio (HR=1.5). Secondary endpoints included: overall survival (OS), recurrence-free interval (RFI), distant disease-free interval (DDFI), and toxicity. Methods: Eligible pts had lumpectomy with histologically-free margins and 0-3 positive axillary nodes. Pts were stratified by stage, menopausal status, hormone receptor status, and intent to receive chemotherapy and then randomized to PBI or WBI. PBI was 10 fractions of 3.4-3.85 Gy, given twice daily with either brachytherapy or 3D external beam radiation. WBI was 50 Gy in 2 Gy fractions given daily with a sequential boost to the surgical cavity. Follow-up was every 6 mos for 5 yrs and then annually. All analyses were by intent-to-treat. Results: From 3-21-05 to 4-16-13, 4216 pts were randomized: 2107 PBI; 2109 WBI. 61% were postmenopausal; 81% were hormone receptor-positive; 29% intended to receive chemotherapy. Stage distribution was: DCIS, 24%; invasive pN0, 65%; invasive pN1, 10%. As of 7-31-18, median follow-up was 10.2 yrs. There were 161 IBTRs as first events: 90 PBI v 71 WBI (HR 1.22; 90%CI 0.94-1.58). Per protocol-defined margin, to declare PBI and WBI equivalent regarding IBTR risk, the 90% CI for the observed HR had to lie entirely between 0.667 and 1.5. The percent of pts IBTR-free at 10 yrs was 95.2% PBI v 95.9% WBI. A statistically significant difference in the 10-yr RFI rate favored WBI (91.9% PBI v 93.4% WBI; HR 1.32; 95%CI 1.04-1.68; p=0.02). No statistically significant differences existed between PBI and WBI in DDFI (HR 1.31; 95%CI 0.91-1.91; p=0.15), OS (HR 1.10; 95%CI 0.90-1.35; p=0.35), or DFS (HR 1.12; 95%CI 0.98-1.29; p=0.11). Grade 3 toxicity was 9.6% PBI v 7.1% WBI, and grade 4-5 toxicity was 0.5% v 0.3%, respectively. Discussion: PBI did not meet the criteria for equivalence to WBI in controlling IBTR based on the upper limit of the hazard ratio confidence interval. However, the absolute difference in 10-yr rate of IBTR was &lt;1% (4.8% PBI v 4.1% WBI). The risk of an RFI event was statistically significantly higher for PBI compared to WBI, but the absolute difference in 10-yr RFI rate was also small (8.1% PBI v 6.6% WBI). DDFI, OS, and DFS were not statistically different for PBI v WBI. Grade 3-5 toxicities, although low, were more common for PBI than WBI. The trial population was heterogeneous, ranging from Stage 0-2 breast cancer, and outcome by risk categories are being analyzed. Support: U10CA180868, -180822, UG1CA189867.

Abstract Background: Black race is associated with worse outcomes in localized hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer in population-based and in clinical trial cohorts, whether using self-identified race (Albain et al. JNCI 2009 [PMID: 19584328; Sparano et al. JNCI 2012 [PMID: 22250182) or genetically-identified race (Schneider et al. J Precision Oncol 2017 [PMID: 29333527]). This disparity persists after adjustment for treatment delivery parameters (Hershman et al. JCO 2009 [PMID:19307504]). We evaluated clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment delivered and clinical outcomes in the Trial Assigning Individualized Options for Treatment (TAILORx) by race and ethnicity (Sparano et al. NEJM 2018 [PMID: 29860917]). Methods: The analysis included 9719 evaluable TAILORx participants. The association between clinical outcomes and race (white, black, Asian, other/unknown) and ethnicity (Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic) was examined, including invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), distant relapse-free interval (DRFI), relapse-free interval (RFI), and overall survival (OS). Proportional hazards models were fit including age (5 categories), tumor size (&gt;2 cm vs. &lt;=2 cm), histologic grade (high vs. medium vs. low vs. unknown), continuous recurrence score (RS), race, and ethnicity in the overall population and randomized treatment arms in the RS 11-25 cohort. Results: The study population included 8189 (84%) whites, 693 (7%) blacks, 405 (4%) Asians, and 432 (4%) with other/unknown race. Regarding ethnicity, 7635 (79%) were non-Hispanic, 889 (9%) Hispanic, and 1195 (12%) unknown. There was no significant difference in RS distribution (p=0.22) in blacks compared with whites, or in median (17 vs. 17) or mean RS (19.1 vs. 18.2). There was likewise no difference in Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic ethnicity for RS distribution (p=0.72) or median (17 vs. 17) or mean RS (18.5 vs. 18.0). Black race (39% vs. 30%) and Hispanic ethnicity (39% vs. 30%) were both associated with younger age (&lt;/=50 years) at diagnosis. The use and type of adjuvant chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and duration of endocrine therapy, were similar in black (vs. white) and Hispanic (vs. non-Hispanic) populations. In proportional hazards models, black race (compared with white race) was associated with worse clinical outcomes in the entire population and in those with a RS 11-25 (see table). Hispanic ethnicity was generally associated with better outcomes (compared with non-Hispanic ethnicity). For the cohort with a RS of 11-25, there was no evidence for chemotherapy benefit for any racial or ethnic group.

Abstract Background: Estrogen receptor (ER)-negative tumors and human epidermal growth factor 2-Neu (HER2) positive breast cancers are known to be more clinically aggressive subtypes of breast cancer and account for 30% of all breast cancers. Women with HER2 + breast cancers, whether ER+ or ER -, require cytotoxic chemotherapy with a HER2-targeting agent, and often have adverse outcomes. Thus, preventive agents are needed to reduce the incidence of these subtypes of aggressive breast cancer. Lapatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibits epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) and HER2 kinases and has shown to decrease breast cell proliferation in invasive breast cancer and adjacent premalignant lesions. Therefore, we conducted a multi-institutional randomized Phase II clinical trial to study the effects of the signal transduction inhibitor lapatinib in women with HER2-positive or EGFR-positive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Methods: Randomized participants received either lapatinib (750mg, 1000mg, or 1500mg) or placebo daily for 2-6 weeks prior to their surgery. After minimal accrual, the trial was later amended to lapatinib 1000mg or placebo. Pre-treatment breast tissue was obtained from initial diagnostic core biopsy and post-treatment breast tissue was obtained from surgical excision specimen. Blood was obtained prior to surgery to assess serum lapatinib level. Participants kept a daily symptom assessment log and had a cardiac assessment at baseline and prior to surgery. Patients were instructed to take drug up to and including the day before surgery. The dual primary endpoint for this study was change in proliferation in pre- versus post-treatment biopsies between the two treatment arms, as measured by Ki67 as well as toxicity assessment. Secondary endpoints included incidence of DCIS at surgery and modulation of tissue biomarker expression in growth factor receptors (EGFR, ErbB2); phosphorylated growth factor receptor (phospho-ErbB2); signal transduction markers (MAPK, phospho-MAPK); hormone receptors (ER, PR); and p27. Results:Twenty-two women (mean age: 51; range: 32-66) with HER2+ or EGFR+ DCIS were treated with lapatinib (1,000 or 1,500 mg) or placebo for 2–6 weeks prior to surgical excision. Ki67 expression was significantly decreased in the lapatinib treatment arms compared to placebo (p=0.0122). Diarrhea, fatigue, and skin reactions were notable adverse events that occurred predominately in the lapatinib arm compared to placebo. No grade 3 or 4 events related to the study drug were noted during the study. No changes were noted in cardiac function. DCIS was present in all surgical specimens in both arms. Invasive breast cancer was noted in 1 patient on lapatinib 1000mg and 3 patients on placebo. No statistically significant changes were noted in signal transduction biomarkers Conclusion:These results demonstrate the effectiveness of lapatinib in reducing proliferation in women with EGFR+ or HER2+ DCIS. Even low-grade toxicities can deter use of an agent in the prevention setting. This and the lack of a risk model for HER2+ and triple negative breast cancer make the development of larger scale clinical prevention trials of lapatinib for the prevention a challenge.
