e12003 Background: Irinotecan liposome injection (nal-IRI) uses intraliposomal stabilisation technology to enable high drug load and in-vivo stability. This analysis characterizes the PK profile of nal-IRI in pts with mBC. Methods: The expansion of NCT01770353 enrolled 30 pts with mBC over three cohorts (Cohort 1: ER+ and/or PR+ BC [C-1]; Cohort 2: Triple Negative BC [C-2]; and Cohort 3: BC with active Brain Metastasis [C-3]). Key inclusion criteria: ECOG ≤1; adequate organ function; and >1 and ≤5 prior lines of cytotoxic therapy in metastatic setting. Most pts received nal-IRI 60 mg/m2 salt-based equivalent (50 mg/m2 free base equivalent [FBE]) or 80 mg/m2 (70 mg/m2 FBE) q2w by iv infusion, based on tolerance; 2 pts were treated at 40 mg/m2 (35 mg/m2 FBE). Plasma samples were collected over 360h across cycles 1, 2 &3, and analysed using LC-MS/MS for total irinotecan. Data were analysed by a non-compartmental approach using Phoenix Winnonlin, and were compared with values from studies in other tumor types. Results: 21 patients were evaluable for PK analysis (C-1, n=6; C-2, n=7; and C-3, n=8). No trend for accumulation was observed in cycle 2 or 3, when comparing total irinotecan Cmax & exposure (area under the curve at 168 h [AUC168]) versus cycle 1. At 40-80 mg/m2 (35-70 mg/m2 FBE), Cmax of irinotecan tended to increase proportionally with total dose, and was comparable to studies in other tumour types (see Table). Among 29 pts who received nal-IRI, partial response (per RECIST) was observed in 10 pts. The most related TEAEs (≥ 25%) were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hypokalaemia, decreased appetite and fatigue. Stable disease was observed in 5 pts. Conclusions: PK parameters in patients with mBC were comparable to historical studies in patients with other tumour types. The safety profile of nal-IRI monotherapy appeared consistent with gastrointestinal and blood disorders. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis holds potential for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in early stage breast cancer. However, sensitivity for MRD is limited due to low ctDNA levels in early stage patients and limited blood volumes. Loss of input DNA during library preparation, limited multiplexing or low sensitivity of current molecular methods further limit accuracy. To address this gap, we have developed TARgeted DIgital Sequencing (TARDIS), a novel method for simultaneous analysis of multiple patient-specific mutations in plasma DNA. Methods: Using tumor exome sequencing, we identify and prioritize somatic founder mutations, design nested primers and evaluate them for multiplex performance. Using 5-10 ng input plasma DNA, we perform 1) targeted linear pre-amplification to improve downstream molecular conversion, 2) single-stranded adapter ligation to incorporate unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) and 3) targeted PCR to prepare sequencing-ready libraries. The resulting sequencing reads have fixed target-specific ends and variable ligation ends. We utilize fragment size and UMIs to group sequencing reads into read families. To ensure specificity, we require targeted mutations are supported by 2 or more read families. Results: To assess analytical performance, we targeted 8 mutations in cell-free DNA reference samples with 0.25%-2% mutation allele fractions (AFs). Precision across 7-16 replicates at each AF level agreed with expectations of Poisson distribution, demonstrating effective analysis of ˜70% of input DNA. At 2%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.25% AFs, variant-level sensitivity was 96.4%, 96.4%, 91.1% and 65.8%, approaching the theoretical limit given input DNA. At 0.25% AF, 3-7 mutations were detected per sample, achieving 100% sample-level sensitivity. In 16 wild-type replicates, no targeted mutations were called (100% specificity). Averaging multiple mutations improved precision in sample-level AF estimates. Mean AFs from 8 mutations for the 2% sample were 2.34%-2.80% (5.8% CV). In 6 patients with breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), we analyzed 8-18 patient-specific mutations (mean 11.8). Before treatment, ctDNA was detected in 5/6 patients at mean AFs of 0.02%-1.19% (mean 0.40%), supported by 2-10 mutations (mean 5.6). Of these 5 patients, 4 had residual disease after NAT and ctDNA was detected pre-operatively or during NAT in 3/4 patients. 1 patient achieved pathological Complete Response and ctDNA was undetectable after NAT. Conclusions: Preliminary results suggest TARDIS enables accurate MRD detection after neoadjuvant therapy in patients with early stage breast cancer. On-going work is expanding this analysis to include additional patients and investigate the clinical validity of peri-operative ctDNA monitoring.

Abstract Background: In women with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, residual cancer burden (RCB) predicts distant recurrence and survival. In those with high risk tumors, locoregional recurrence (LRR) remains a concern, and has been associated with type of local therapy received. We evaluated the impact of local therapy on LRR in the ISPY-2 TRIAL. Methods: Data were analyzed in Stata 14.2, using Chi2 test, log rank test, and a Cox proportional hazards model. RCB was considered a categorical variable (0/1 versus 2/3), as described in prior publications. Breast surgery categories were lumpectomy +/- radiotherapy, or mastectomy +/- radiotherapy. Axillary surgery was defined as sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery (≤6 nodes removed) or axillary dissection (>6 nodes). Results: Follow up data from the I-SPY2 TRIAL were available for 630 patients (median follow up 2.76 yrs, range 0.4-7.2). Type of local therapy was significantly associated with clinical stage at presentation, with stage III patients most frequently undergoing mastectomy + radiation (p<0.001). Women with higher RCB were more likely to undergo mastectomy than those with lower RCB (61.3% vs 48.8% mastectomy rate, p=0.002), and more likely to receive adjuvant radiotherapy (62.0% vs 53.9%, p=0.048). There was no association between clinical stage, type of surgery, or radiotherapy and LRR (Table). Higher RCB was significantly associated with LRR, with 3 year locoregional recurrence free rate of 95.1% in RCB 0/1 versus 89.9% in RCB 2/3 (p=0.003). In a Cox model adjusting for clinical stage, tumor subtype, surgical therapy, RCB status, nodal radiation, and age, significant predictors for LRR were tumor subtype and RCB status. Hazard ratio (HR) for LRR in those with RCB 0/1 was 0.39 compared to those with RCB 2/3 (95% CI 0.17-0.87, p=0.021). There was no difference in LRR between breast conservation and mastectomy; within the breast conservation group, those who had lumpectomy alone had higher hazard of LRR compared to those having lumpectomy + radiation (HR 3.1, 95% CI 1.1-9.2, p=0.043). Conclusions: Extent of surgical therapy was not associated with local tumor control, regardless of advanced tumor stage at presentation. Rather, tumor biology and response to therapy were the best predictors of LRR. These data highlight the opportunity to minimize the morbidity of extensive surgical therapy for patients with excellent response to systemic therapy.

Abstract Background Survivors of ER-expressing operable breast cancer (ER+BC) generally do not receive hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms due to concern about provoking recurrence of disease. Single dose depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) 400 mg IM has previously been shown (Loprinzi CL, et al. J Clin Oncol 2006;24:1409) to be the most effective non-estrogen therapy available for menopausal hot flashes (HF) but long-term evidence of safety in survivors of ER+BC is lacking. Methods Consecutive patients previously diagnosed with ER+BC who received MPA for HF between January 2007 and December 2012 were retrospectively identified in the breast cancer patient database at Mayo Clinic Arizona. Medical records were audited for breast cancer outcomes in these cases and in contemporaneous control patients with ER+BC who did not receive MPA, matched for age, stage of disease, and year of diagnosis. Statistical comparisons of local-regional recurrence and event-free survival were performed. Results 92 patients who received MPA were identified and matched 1:1 with contemporaneous controls. Median follow-up duration was 5.7 years in cases and 4.5 years in controls. Estimated local-regional recurrence free survival at 10 years was 85% (95% CI, 72-100%) in cases and 95% (95% CI, 86-100%) in controls. Matched pairs hazard ratio was 1.0 (95% CI, 0.06-16.0) for local-regional recurrence free survival. Estimated event-free survival at 10 years was 81% (95% CI, 69-97%) in cases and 76% (95% CI, 64-92%) in controls. Matched pairs hazard ratio was 0.38 (95% CI, 0.10-1.41) for event-free survival. The majority (77%) of case patients experienced satisfactory relief of hot flashes from MPA injection. Conclusion In this retrospective case-control study we were unable to identify a detrimental effect of MPA therapy for HF in survivors of ER+BC. MPA may be acceptable for management of HF in this population. Citation Format: Ertz-Archambault N, Rogoff L, Kosiorek H, Ernst B, Anderson K, Pockaj B, Gray R, Northfelt D.

Abstract Background: Breast cancer (BC) treatment, including surgery, can impact not only short-term health outcomes but may also affect longer term health-related and psychosocial quality of life (QOL). We sought to describe the impact of BC surgery on QOL among breast cancer survivors followed in a large randomized trial. Methods: The ECOG-ACRIN protocol E5103 was a phase III trial that randomized BC patients (pts) who had undergone definitive BC surgery to receive adjuvant doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel with either bevacizumab (bev) or placebo. Telephone based surveys were administered to all pts enrolled between 01/Jan/10 and 08/Jun/10 as part of a Decision-Making/QOL component until 18 mos post enrollment. Functional/psychosocial QOL domains were assessed by the EQ-5D-3L and the FACT B+G. Fisher's exact test compared categorical and Wilcoxon rank sum test compared continuous variables between subgroups. Multivariable regression was used to evaluate factors in addition to primary surgery at enrollment (age, race, ER/PgR status, tumor size, nodal status) associated with overall FACT score at 18 mos. Results: Patient reported outcomes at 18 mos were available from 89.6% (465/519) pts. At enrollment, 57% (266/465) had a mastectomy; 43% (199/465) breast conserving surgery (BCS). Median age at enrollment was 52 (range: 25-76) years. There were no differences in QOL between bev vs placebo treatment arms (EQ-5D-3L Index Score p=0.65; FACT B+G Score p=0.23) at 18 mos so groups were combined. Using EQ-5D-3L, over half of the pts (58%) reported at least some pain/discomfort; 38% symptoms of anxiety/depression. A higher proportion of mastectomy pts reported problems with usual activities compared to BCS pts (Table). Compared to BCS pts, mastectomy pts had lower average EQ5D-3L scores 0.80 vs. 0.84, p=0.04 and FACT B+G scores 109 vs. 114, p=0.01, indicating worse QOL. In univariate analyses, non-white race (p=0.03), ER/PgR+ status (p=0.04) and mastectomy as primary surgery (p=0.01) were significantly associated with worse QOL (lower FACT B+G scores). In multivariable analyses, non-white race (p=0.02) and ER/PgR+ status (p=0.05) remained associated with worse QOL; mastectomy was borderline significant (p=0.06). Conclusions: Among women participating in a contemporary adjuvant BC chemotherapy trial, a substantial proportion of survivors experience symptoms that may be amenable to intervention, including referral to physical rehabilitation, especially among pts undergoing more extensive surgery. Attention to psychosocial health is also essential both during and after completion of active treatment to optimize QOL outcomes.

Abstract Background: Combining cyclin dependent 4/6 kinase inhibitors (CDK4/6i) with endocrine therapy (ET) has resulted in clinically significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) in persons with hormone-receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, nearly all patients will progress on CDK4/6i and ET and the mechanisms associated with primary and secondary resistance are mostly unknown. The identification of biomarkers associated with response to CDK4/6i is therefore a major research priority. PROMISE is a multicenter prospective cohort study designed to perform a comprehensive “omic” assessment of blood, tumor, urine and the fecal microbiome to identify alterations in molecular or cellular features associated with primary endocrine resistance (e.g. disease progression ≤ 12 months on treatment) and acquired resistance to CDK4/6i. Additionally, patient derived xenografts (PDX) and organoids are generated to test new drug strategies designed to reverse resistance to CDK4/6i and ET. Methods: Eligible participants include women for whom palbociclib is recommended in combination with either letrozole (first-line) or fulvestrant (second-line) therapy for HR-positive MBC. As of July 2018, 14 patients have been enrolled; the target accrual is 250 patients, who will be followed over the course of 36 months and followed for at least 12 months after the close of enrollment. Blood and tumor biopsies are obtained at baseline, at the end of cycle 2, and at progression. Whole exome sequencing (germline and tumor) and RNAseq (whole transcriptome) are performed on tumor samples in a CAP/CLIA lab (TEMPUS) and results will be provided back to all patients for later use. Additionally, PDX and organoids are generated from tumor biopsies at baseline and during progression. Blood, stool, and urine samples are collected for additional correlative studies. The primary objective of this trial is to identify novel genomic variants and pathways associated with early progression (≤ 12 months) among women with advanced HR-positive breast cancer treated with palbociclib and ET. Secondary objectives include identification of the biomolecular features within the gut (stool) microbiome and exploration of the metabolomics and proteomics of ER-positive MBC. Results from the interrogation of these biospecimens will be critical to gain insights into treatment resistance.

Abstract Background: Patients achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy have significantly improved event-free survival relative to those who do not; and pCR is an FDA-accepted endpoint to support accelerated approval of novel agents/combinations in the neoadjuvant treatment of high risk early stage breast cancer. Previous studies have shown that recurrence risk increased with increasing burden of residual disease (as assessed by the RCB index). As well, these studies suggest that patients with minimum residual disease (RCB-I class) also have favorable outcomes (comparable to those achieving a pCR) within high risk tumor subtypes. In this study, we assess whether integrating RCB with MRI functional tumor volume (FTV), which in itself is prognostic, can improve prediction of distant recurrence free survival (DRFS); and identify a subset of patients with minimal residual disease with comparable DRFS as those who achieved a pCR. Imaging tools can then be used to identify the subset that will do well early and guide the timing of surgical therapy. Method: We performed a pooled analysis of 596 patients from the I-SPY2 TRIAL with RCB, pre-surgical MRI FTV data and known follow-up (median 2.5 years). We first assessed whether FTV predicts residual disease (pCR or pCR/RCB-I) using ROC analysis. We applied a power transformation to normalize the pre-surgical FTV distribution; and assessed its association with DRFS using a bi-variate Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for HR/HER2 subtype. We also fitted a bivariate Cox model of RCB index adjusting for subtype; and assessed whether adding pre-surgical FTV to this model further improves association with DRFS using a likelihood ratio (LR) test. For the Cox modeling, penalized splines approximation of the transformed FTV and RCB index with 2 degrees of freedom was used to allow for non-linear effects of FTV and RCB on DRFS. Result: Pre-surgical MRI FTV is significantly associated with DRFS (Wald p<0.00001), and more effective at predicting pCR/RCB-I than predicting pCR alone (AUC: 0.72 vs. 0.65). Larger pre-surgical FTV remains associated with worse DRFS adjusting for subtype (Wald p <0.00001). The RCB index is also significantly associated with DRFS adjusting for subtype (Wald p<0.00001). Adding FTV to a model containing RCB and subtype further improves association with DRFS (LR p=0.0007). RCB-I patients have excellent DRFS (94% at 3 years compared to 95% in the pCR group). Efforts are underway to identify an optimal threshold for dichotomizing pre-surgical FTV and FTV change measures for use in combination with pCR/RCB-I class to generate integrated RCB (iRCB) groups as a composite predictor of DRFS. Conclusion: Pre-surgical MRI FTV is effective at predicting minimal residual disease (RCB0/I) in the I-SPY 2 TRIAL. Despite the association between FTV and RCB, FTV appears to provide independent added prognostic value (to RCB and subtype), suggesting that integrating MRI volume measures and RCB into a composite predictor may improve DRFS prediction.

Anastrozole is a widely prescribed aromatase inhibitor for the therapy of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. We performed a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) for plasma anastrozole concentrations in 687 postmenopausal women with ER+ breast cancer. The top single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) signal mapped across SLC38A7 (rs11648166, P = 2.3E‐08), which we showed to encode an anastrozole influx transporter. The second most significant signal (rs28845026, P = 5.4E‐08) mapped near ALPPL2 and displayed epistasis with the SLC38A7 signal. Both of these SNPs were cis expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL)s for these genes, and patients homozygous for variant genotypes for both SNPs had the highest drug concentrations, the highest SLC38A7 expression, and the lowest ALPPL2 expression. In summary, our GWAS identified a novel gene encoding an anastrozole transporter, SLC38A7, as well as epistatic interaction between SNPs in that gene and SNPs near ALPPL2 that influenced both the expression of the transporter and anastrozole plasma concentrations.
