Abstract Background: A significant number of patients with breast cancer may develop chest wall recurrence, which can be difficult to treat, and is associated with a poor prognosis. Given the inflammatory nature of chest wall disease, and the association of chest wall disease with lymphovascular invasion, we hypothesized that immunotherapy may be beneficial in this setting. Furthermore, combining immunotherapy and chemotherapy may have a synergistic effect; indeed, the combination of the anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) antibody, pembrolizumab, with chemotherapy has been approved for metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Consequently, in this study, we are evaluating the combination of pembrolizumab/carboplatin vs. carboplatin alone for chest wall recurrence. Trial design: This is a phase II study of patients with chest wall disease from breast cancer. Patients are randomized in a 2:1 manner to pembrolizumab/carboplatin x 6 cycles (Arm A) with the option to continue pembrolizumab +/- carboplatin after 6 cycles (Arm Ax) vs. carboplatin alone (Arm B) with the option to cross-over to pembrolizumab +/- carboplatin on progression (Arm Bx). Carboplatin is dosed at AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks, and pembrolizumab at 200 mg IV every 3 weeks. Trastuzumab may be continued with study treatment in patients with HER2 positive disease. Imaging scans (CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and bone scan) occur at baseline and every 3 cycles. Chest wall biopsies and peripheral blood is collected at baseline and after completing 2 cycles of treatment for correlative studies. Eligibility criteria: Patients must have chest wall disease from breast cancer. Distant metastases are allowed. TNBC, hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative disease (after 2 prior hormone therapies), and HER2 positive disease (progressed on standard HER2 directed treatment) are eligible. Any number of prior lines of chemotherapy are acceptable, including a prior platinum chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression on the platinum. Specific Aims: Primary aim is to determine disease control rate in the chest wall and other distant sites at 18 weeks of treatment with RECIST 1.1. Secondary aims including determining toxicity, progression-free survival, response based on irRECIST, and response based on tumor PD-L1 expression. Exploratory aims include studying changes in: 1) immune composition of tumor and peripheral blood, 2) peripheral blood cell-free DNA and circulating tumor cells, 3) soluble PD-L1 expression, and 4) association of MYC with PD-1 and immune markers, based on preclinical data demonstrating that MYC upregulates these markers. Statistical Methods: 84 patients (Arm A: 56, Arm B: 28) are being enrolled at 7 sites in the Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium. The study is powered to identify a 20% difference in disease control rates between Arms A and B (HR 0.52, α= 0.10, ß=0.20). A futility analysis will occur for Arm B after 18 patients are enrolled to allow for early closure if lack of efficacy. Accrual: Present accrual is 57 patients (Arm A: 39, Arm B: 18). (NCT03095352). This trial is partly funded by grants from Merck and University of California San Francisco.

Abstract Background Transcriptomic immune-related gene signatures have been associated with achievement of pathologic complete response (pCR) and prognosis in the neoadjuvant setting. I-SPY 2 is a multicenter, phase 2 platform trial using response-adaptive randomization within subtypes defined by receptor status (HR/HER2) and MammaPrint (MP) risk to evaluate novel agents as neoadjuvant therapy for women with high-risk breast cancer. Given racial disparities in mortality from breast cancer and the paucity of racial demographic data from clinical trials, we aimed to evaluate the association between racial groups and baseline characteristics, including expression-based subtypes and immune signatures, treatment response, and prognosis of patients enrolled in the I-SPY 2 TRIAL. Methods Our study population included 990 I-SPY 2 patients. 15 patients identified as part of a racial group with <10 patients enrolled in the trial and were excluded from analysis. Pre-treatment expression data was available for 971 patients. Follow-up data was available for 907 patients; median follow-up time of 4.4 yrs. Chi-square test was used to assess associations between racial groups and pre-treatment SBR grade, HR/HER2 defined subtypes, intrinsic subtype (defined by BluePrint 80-gene molecular subtyping) and residual cancer burden (RCB) class. Logistic regression was used to evaluate race association with pCR. Cox proportional hazard modeling was used to assess the association between racial groups and event free survival (EFS) in a univariate setting, adjusting for pCR status. Association between racial groups and 28 expression signatures related to immune, proliferation, ER and HER2 pathway was analyzed using ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test in the overall population and in each receptor subtype. Results Of 975 patients included in our analysis, 787 (81%) were White, 68 (7%) were Asian, and 120 (12%) were Black or African American. No significant associations between race and pre-treatment SBR grade (p=0.49), HR/HER2 defined subtypes (p=0.09), or expression-based subtypes (p=0.25) were observed. pCR rates do not significantly differ by racial groups (Odds ratio of pCR relative to White: 1.00 for Asian and 0.89 for Black or African American); and no significant differences in RCB class distribution by race was observed (p=0.88). Event free survival was not associated with patient racial group in a univariate Cox model (Hazard ratio relative to White: 1.10, p=0.73 for Asian and 1.37, p=0.13 for Black or African American). Among the 28 expression signatures evaluated, four were differentially expressed among racial groups within the overall population (F-test p<0.05): IFN module, B cell signature, Dendritic cell signature, and Mitotic score. Pairwise comparisons between racial groups with post-hoc Tukey test identified significant differences in IFN module expression between Black or African American vs. White (p=0.019) and Dendritic cell signature expression between Asian vs White (p=0.047). Among patients in the TNBC subtype, three signatures (dendritic cell signature, macrophage signature and ERBB2 module) were differentially expressed between Black or African American and White patients (p=0.002, 0.016 and 0.007). Conclusion Our analysis demonstrates that among women with high risk breast cancer, race does not affect subtype specific response rates nor event free survival. Distribution of subtypes previously shown to be associated with pCR in the I-SPY2 trial did not significantly differ among racial groups indicating race is less likely than tumor biology to predict response. The decreased expression of immune signatures observed in Black or African American women with TNBC suggests possible differential sensitivity to immunotherapy plus combination chemotherapy. Tumor immune multiplex studies are underway to further investigate. Citation Format: Beverly Kyalwazi, Christina Yau, Olufunmilayo Olopade, A.

Abstract Patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) typically have short survival times and their successful treatment represents one of most challenging aspects of patient care. This poor prognostic behavior is in part due to molecular features including increased tumor cell clonal heterogeneity, multiple drug resistance mechanisms, and alterations of the tumor microenvironment. The AURORA US Metastasis Project was established with the goal to identify molecular features specifically associated with metastasis. We therefore collected and molecularly characterized specimens from 55 metastatic breast cancer (BC) patients representing 51 primary cancers and 102 metastases. The 153 unique tumors were assayed using RNAseq, tumor/germline DNA exomes and low pass whole genome sequencing, and global DNA methylation microarrays. We found intrinsic molecular subtype differences between primary tumors and their matched metastases to be rare in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)/Basal-like subtype tumors. Conversely, tumor subtype changes were relatively frequent in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cancers where ~30% of Luminal A cases switched to Luminal B or HER2-enriched (HER2E) subtypes. Clonal evolution studies identified changes in expression subtype coincident with DNA clonality shifts, especially involving HER2 amplification and/or the HER2E expression subtype. We further found evidence for ER-mediated downregulation of genes involved in cell-cell adhesion in metastases. Microenvironment differences varied according to tumor subtype where ER+/Luminal metastases had lower fibroblast and endothelial cell content, while TNBC/Basal-like metastases showed a dramatic decrease in B cells and T cells. In 17% of metastatic tumors, we identified DNA hypermethylation and/or focal DNA deletions near HLA-A that were associated with its’ significantly reduced expression, and with lower immune cell infiltrates. We also identified low immune cell features in brain and liver metastases when compared to other metastatic sites, even within the same patient. These findings have direct implications for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer patients with immune- and HER2-targeting therapies and suggest potential novel therapeutic avenues for the improvement of outcomes for some patients with MBC.

PURPOSE This guideline updates recommendations of the ASCO guideline on chemotherapy and targeted therapy for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that is either endocrine-pretreated or hormone receptor (HR)–negative. METHODS An Expert Panel conducted a targeted systematic literature review guided by a signals approach to identify new, potentially practice-changing data that might translate into revised guideline recommendations. RESULTS The Expert Panel reviewed abstracts from the literature review and retained 14 articles. RECOMMENDATIONS Patients with triple-negative, programmed cell death ligand-1–positive MBC may be offered the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitor to chemotherapy as first-line therapy. Patients with triple-negative, programmed cell death ligand-1–negative MBC should be offered single-agent chemotherapy rather than combination chemotherapy as first-line treatment, although combination regimens may be offered for life-threatening disease. Patients with triple-negative MBC who have received at least two prior therapies for MBC should be offered treatment with sacituzumab govitecan. Patients with triple-negative MBC with germline BRCA mutations previously treated with chemotherapy may be offered a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor rather than chemotherapy. Patients with HR-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative MBC for whom chemotherapy is being considered should be offered single–agent chemotherapy rather than combination chemotherapy, although combination regimens may be offered for highly symptomatic or life-threatening disease. Patients with HR-positive MBC with disease progression on an endocrine agent may be offered treatment with either endocrine therapy with or without targeted therapy or single-agent chemotherapy. Patients with HR-positive MBC with germline BRCA mutations no longer benefiting from endocrine therapy may be offered a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor rather than chemotherapy. No recommendation regarding when a patient's care should be transitioned to hospice or best supportive care alone is possible.

PURPOSE The ATEMPT trial was designed to determine if treatment with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) caused less toxicity than paclitaxel plus trastuzumab (TH) and yielded clinically acceptable invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) among patients with stage I human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC). METHODS Patients with stage I centrally confirmed HER2+ BC were randomly assigned 3:1 to T-DM1 or TH and received T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for 17 cycles or T 80 mg/m 2 IV with H once every week × 12 weeks (4 mg/kg load →2 mg/kg), followed by H × 39 weeks (6 mg/kg once every 3 weeks). The co-primary objectives were to compare the incidence of clinically relevant toxicities (CRTs) in patients treated with T-DM1 versus TH and to evaluate iDFS in patients receiving T-DM1. RESULTS The analysis population includes all 497 patients who initiated protocol therapy (383 T-DM1 and 114 TH). CRTs were experienced by 46% of patients on T-DM1 and 47% of patients on TH ( P = .83). The 3-year iDFS for T-DM1 was 97.8% (95% CI, 96.3 to 99.3), which rejected the null hypothesis ( P < .0001). Serially collected patient-reported outcomes indicated that patients treated with T-DM1 had less neuropathy and alopecia and better work productivity compared with patients on TH. CONCLUSION Among patients with stage I HER2+ BC, one year of adjuvant T-DM1 was associated with excellent 3-year iDFS, but was not associated with fewer CRT compared with TH.

TPS1111 Background: Chest wall recurrence is a subtype of breast cancer that is challenging to treat, and associated with a short duration of response to treatment and an increased risk of development of distant metastases. Given the inflammatory nature of this disease and the association of chest wall disease with lymphovascular invasion, which is correlated with higher programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) expression, we hypothesized that immunotherapy may be beneficial as treatment. Combinations of immunotherapy and chemotherapy have a synergistic effect and demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study is evaluating the efficacy of pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in combination with carboplatin, in patients with chest wall infiltration from breast cancer. This drug combination has shown efficacy in advanced lung cancer. Methods: This is a multicenter, 2:1 randomized phase II study of pembrolizumab/carboplatin (Arm A, 56 patients) vs. carboplatin (Arm B, 28 patients) in 84 patients with chest wall disease from breast cancer, with or without distant metastases. Patients may have TNBC, hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative (following receipt of 2 prior hormone therapies), or HER2 positive breast cancer (with option to continue trastuzumab on study). Pembrolizumab is administered as 200 mg IV every 3 weeks, and carboplatin as AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks. Patients on Arm A may continue pembrolizumab +/- carboplatin (Arm Ax) after completion of 6 cycles of treatment, while patients in Arm B can cross-over to pembrolizumab (+/- carboplatin) on progression (Arm Bx). Patients must have adequate organ function, performance status ≤ 2, and may have received any number of lines of prior chemotherapy. Patients undergo serial chest wall photography and imaging (CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and bone scan) at baseline and every 6 weeks, as well as blood collection for correlative studies and chest wall biopsies at baseline and after 2 cycles of treatment. The primary endpoint is disease control rate (RECIST 1.1) at 18 weeks of treatment, and the study is powered to determine a 20% difference in disease control rates between arms (HR 0.52, a = 0.10, ß = 0.20). An interim analysis will occur for Arm B after 18 patients are enrolled, with a stopping rule for futility. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, toxicity (NCI CTCAE), and response based on irRECIST and tumor programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Exploratory objectives include evaluating changes in soluble PD-L1, tumor and peripheral blood immune composition, circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA, and MYC oncogene expression. This study (NCT03095352) is open at 7 sites in the Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium (TBCRC). 52 patients are enrolled. Grant funding is provided by Merck and UCSF.

508 Background: I-SPY 2 is a multicenter, phase 2 trial using response-adaptive randomization within molecular subtypes defined by receptor status and MammaPrint (MP) risk to evaluate novel agents as neoadjuvant therapy for women with high-risk breast cancer. SD-101 is an investigational Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist CpG-C class oligodeoxynucleotide that stimulates the production of IFN-α and interleukin (IL)-12, functional maturation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and production of cytotoxic antibodies. IT SD-101 was combined with systemic anti-PD-1 antibody Pb to investigate the antitumor and immunologic activity of this novel immunotherapeutic strategy. Methods: Women with tumors ≥ 2.5cm were eligible for screening. Only pts (pts) with HER2- disease were eligible for this treatment. Treatment included weekly P x 12 in combination with IT SD-101 2 mg/ml (1 ml for T2 tumors, 2 ml for >T3 tumors) weekly x 4, then q3 weeks x 2, and IV Pb q3 weeks x 4, followed by doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) q2-3 weeks x 4 (SD-101+Pembro 4). Pts in the control arm received weekly P x 12 followed by AC q2-3 weeks x 4. The I-SPY 2 methods have been previously published. This investigational arm was eligible for graduation (>85% chance of success in a 300-person phase 3 neoadjuvant trial) in 3 of 10 pre-defined signatures: HER2-, hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2- and HR-/HER2-. Results: 75 pts were randomized and evaluable in SD-101+Pembro 4 treatment arm. The control arm included 329 historical controls enrolled since April 2010. The study arm was stopped due to maximal patient accrual. Pt characteristics were balanced; 56% HR+, 44% HR-. The probability that SD-101+Pembro4 was superior to control exceeded 97% for all eligible tumor signatures, but did not reach the threshold for graduation in any of the signatures. However, it is notable that the rate of pCR/Residual Cancer Burden 1 (RCB1) in the HR+/HER2- signature was 51%. Preliminary safety events for SD-101+Pembro 4 include increased rates of fever, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, transaminitis, and immune-related events, including adrenal insufficiency. Conclusions: The SD-101+Pembro 4 regimen was active but did not meet the pre-specified threshold for graduation in I-SPY 2. pCR/RCB 1 analysis suggests improved response in the HR+/HER-negative signature compared to control. The clinical significance of these findings needs to be weighed against the potential risk of immune-related toxicities. Clinical trial information: NCT01042379. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: In the I-SPY 2 TRIAL, the addition of P to standard NAC resulted in more than doubling of the pathologic complete response (pCR) rates for both hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2- and triple-negative (TN) early breast cancer (EBC) patients (pts) compared to NAC only (Nanda et al, JAMA Oncol, 2020). At 3 years, distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) rates in pts with pCR following NAC+P was &gt;95%. We hypothesized that ctDNA can serve as a predictive biomarker of response and survival in pts treated with NAC. Methods: A personalized ctDNA test (Signatera) was performed on 511 serial plasma samples from 138 pts with high-risk HR+/HER2- (n=77) or TN (n=61) stage II/III EBC. Pts received P with paclitaxel (Tx) followed by AC (P arm, n=42) or standard NAC only (n=96), an exploratory subset of pts evaluated for P efficacy. Plasma was collected; pretreatment (T0), 3 weeks after treatment initiation (T1), between Tx+/-P and AC regimens (T2), and prior to surgery (T3). ctDNA was deemed positive with a minimum of 2 of the pt specific tumor mutation fragments detected in cfDNA. Association of ctDNA with response and survival was analyzed using logistic and Cox regressions with pCR and DRFS as endpoints. Median follow-up was 2.8 years. Results: Detection of ctDNA decreased over time (P arm: T0-81%, T1-50%, T2-19%, T3-3%) and NAC only: T0-82%, T1-65%, T2-26%, T3-10%). ctDNA data at T0 and T1 was available for 96% (132/138) of pts in P arm or NAC only (Table). Among ctDNA+ patients at baseline, clearance at T1 was significantly associated with pCR (OR=1.92, ctDNA+/-; OR=0.27, ctDNA+/+; LR p&lt;0.001). This association remained significant after adjustment for HR status and treatment (LR p&lt;0.001) and P arm or NAC only (P: LR p=0.03; NAC: LR p=0.01). ctDNA data at T0, T1, and T2 was available for 86% (118/138) pts. (Table). Among all ctDNA+ pts at baseline, dynamics through T2 was associated with pCR (OR=1.44, ctDNA+/-/-; OR=0.33, ctDNA+/+/-, OR=0.12, ctDNA+/+/+; LR p=0.0011). This association remained significant when adjusted for HR status and treatment (LR p&lt;0.001). Analysis within individual treatments showed significant association for NAC (LR p=0.040) and a non-significant trend in NAC+P (LR p=0.063), likely due to smaller sample size. All pts who achieved pCR were ctDNA- at T3 (n=34). Among those who failed to achieve pCR (n=81), DRFS was significantly better in ctDNA- (n=72/81; 20 in P and 52 in NAC) versus ctDNA+ pts (n=9/81; 1 in P and 8 in NAC) (adjusted HR 0.13; 95% CI 0.05-0.37). Conclusions: These exploratory results align with our previous findings that early clearance of ctDNA during NAC treatment was significantly associated with increased likelihood of achieving pCR. Additionally, we show that ctDNA clearance can be an early surrogate marker for therapy response assessment. Residual ctDNA after neoadjuvant treatment was a significant predictor of metastatic recurrence and death. Personalized monitoring of ctDNA during the course of NAC is feasible and provides information that can be combined with imaging and pathology, and may help to optimize decision making for de-escalation or escalation of therapy.

Abstract Background: I-SPY 2 is a multicenter, phase 2 trial using response-adaptive randomization within molecular subtypes defined by receptor status and MammaPrint (MP) risk to evaluate novel agents as neoadjuvant therapy for women with high-risk stage II/III breast cancer. The primary endpoint is pathologic complete response (pCR, ypT0/Tis ypN0). SGN-LIV1A is an investigational antibody drug conjugate consisting of an antibody to LIV1A, a zinc transporter highly prevalent in breast cancer, and a highly potent microtubule inhibitor, monomethyl auristatin E. Retrospective IHC analysis of LIV1A expression levels amongst tumor samples from 100 previous ISPY-2 patients showed 88% of breast tumor samples with moderate to high expression of LIV1A (Yau, C. et al SABCS 2018).Methods: Women with tumors ≥ 2.5cm were eligible for screening. Only HER2 negative (HER2-) patients were eligible for this treatment, hormone-receptor positive (HR+) patients had to have MP high molecular profile. Treatment included SGN-LIV1A 2.5 mg/kg (max dose 250 mg) every 3 weeks x 4, followed by doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) every 2-3 weeks x 4. The control arm was weekly paclitaxel x 12 followed by AC every 2-3 weeks x 4. All patients undergo serial MR imaging where response at 3 & 12 weeks combined with accumulating pCR data are used to estimate, and continuously update, predicted pCR rate for the trial arm. Analysis set was modified intention to treat with patients who switched to non-protocol therapy counted as non-pCR and not as their pCR status at time of surgery. The goal is to identify/graduate regimens with ≥85% Bayesian predictive probability of success (i.e. demonstrating superiority to control) in a future 300-patient phase 3 neoadjuvant trial with a pCR endpoint within signatures defined by HR & HER2 status & MP result. This investigational arm was eligible for graduation in 3 of 10 pre-defined signatures: HER2-, HR+HER2- and HR-HER2-. Regimens may also leave the trial for futility (&lt; 10% probability of success), maximum sample size accrual (10% &lt; probability of success &lt;85%), maximum time in trial (2 years) or for safety as recommended by the independent DSMB. Results: Sixty patients were randomized and evaluable to SGN-LIV1A. The study arm was stopped due to reaching the predetermined time limit for patient accrual of 2 yrs. Final estimated pCR rates are below. The estimated pCR rates were similar between the SGN-LIV1A and control arms for any tumor subtype. Preliminary safety events for SGN-LIV1A include increased rates of transaminitis and hyperglycemia and reduced rates of peripheral neuropathy compared to control. One patient was removed from the analysis as she was determined to have angiosarcoma of the breast. Notably, this patient had a dramatic early response and subsequent pCR to SGN-LIV1A treatment. Conclusion: The value of I-SPY 2 is to give insight about the performance of an investigational agent’s likelihood of achieving pCR. SGN-LIV1A delivered every 3 weeks was comparable to paclitaxel for the primary endpoint of pCR in I-SPY2 and may have a similar side effect profile, however, with less peripheral neuropathy. Clinical trials evaluating weekly dosing of SGN-LIV1A are ongoing. A trial of SGN-LIV1A in the treatment of angiosarcoma is under consideration at this time.
