Abstract
Background: De-escalating strategies seem promising in HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC) and chemo-free regimens are thus of key interest. Recent data have underlined the role of tumor immunogenicity in response to de-escalated neoadjuvant anti-HER2 therapy. Therefore, the prospective single arm hypothesis-generating phase II KEYRICHED-1 trial (NCT03988036) investigates the pCR-rate in patients with HER2-enriched EBC receiving four cycles of the dual anti-HER2 blockade in combination with the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. Initial studies with dual antibody-based HER2 blockade alone were able to achieve pCR-rates of 20-40%, which did not quite match the pCR-rates obtained with concurrent chemotherapy. KEYRICHED-1 aims at achieving pCR-rates comparable to standard chemotherapy-containing regimens by incorporating appropriate molecular selection and immune oncology.. Methods: A total of 48 pre- and postmenopausal patients with newly diagnosed HER2 2+ or 3+ EBC (stage I-III) and HER2-enriched (HER2-E) subtype by PAM50 were enrolled in this single-arm study. All patients received four cycles of study treatment with pembrolizumab (200mg), trastuzumab biosimilar (Trazimera®, loading dose 8mg/kg bodyweight (BW), maintenance dose 6mg/kg BW), and pertuzumab (loading dose 840mg/kg BW, maintenance dose 420mg/kg BW) q21d. Primary endpoint was centrally confirmed pCR (ypT0/is, ypN0). The trial was planned as a Simon's two-stage design (null and alternative pCR were 40% and 60%); interim analysis after 16 patients had to show a pCR rate of at least 50% to continue recruitment.. Results: Between 05/2020 and 03/2021, 98 patients were screened. N=52 (55%) had HER2-E subtype, of whom 48 patients entered the treatment phase. Median patient age was 57 years (28-83). 65% had tumors > 2 cm and 30% positive lymph node status. Centrally confirmed pCR-rate in surgical specimens was 46% (95% CI 0.31-0.62) in the 43 patients of the per-protocol-population, and 52% (95%CI 0.37-0.67) in all 46 evaluable patients (local assessment; two pCRs verified only by core biopsy) (p=0.22 and p=0.06 for null hypothesis, respectively). Despite HER2-E subtype, no pCR was observed in the four patients with immunohistochemical (IHC) HER2 2+/ISH-positive status in contrast to 20/39 (51.2%) pCR in IHC HER2 3+ tumors. Centrally confirmed pCR-rate in HR+/HER2+ tumors was 38.5% compared to 58.5% in HR-/HER2+ tumors. No new safety signals were observed.. Conclusions: These are the first results of a neoadjuvant chemotherapy-free 12-week de-escalation anti-HER2-regimen with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab in patients with a HER2-E EBC. In the context of the WSG ADAPT HER2+ de-escalation trials the observed pCR-rates compare favorably in HR+ as well as HR- HER2+ EBC. Moreover, KEYRICHED-1 demonstrates that with appropriate molecular patient selection clinically meaningful pCR-rates in the range of those obtained with longer, more toxic chemotherapy-containing regimens can be achieved.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) followed by matched therapy has opened up new therapeutic options to patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Here we report our experience with this approach in everyday clinical practice. This retrospective study included 95 patients with mBC who were genotyped with the FoundationOne® (CDx) assay in a commercial molecular pathology laboratory. Genetic alterations were identified in all tumor specimens, and 83 patients (87.4%) had a median of 2 (range, 1-6) potentially actionable alterations. A multidisciplinary tumor board recommended genomically guided therapy to 63 patients, 30 of whom received such treatment. Everolimus (n = 15) and anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy (n = 6) were most frequently administered. The ratio of progression-free survival (PFS) under NGS-based therapy to PFS under the last line of standard therapy prior to NGS was >1.3 in 13 (43.3%) patients, indicative of a clinical benefit to NGS-directed therapy. One-year overall survival rates were 22.7% (95% CI, 6.5-44.4) in 65 patients allocated to the standard therapy versus 62.9% (95% CI, 41.6-78.2) in 30 patients receiving the matched therapy. In conclusion, NGS-matched treatment improved the clinical outcomes in a subgroup of mBC patients.

Abstract
There is a strong biologic rationale that poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors may benefit a broader range of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients than covered by current approvals, which require a germline BRCA1/2 sequence variant affecting function. We report a patient with germline/somatic BRCA1/2 wild-type MBC, who had a dramatic response to the PARP inhibitor olaparib of at least 8 months' duration. The patient is a 37-year-old woman with recurrent, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative MBC that had progressed despite hormonal therapy and palbociclib. Sensitivity to olaparib was likely conferred by a germline sequence variant affecting function in PALB2 (exon 1, c.18G>T, p.(=)). This case documenting activity of olaparib monotherapy in germline/somatic BRCA1/2 wild-type MBC illustrates that the clinical potential of PARP inhibition in MBC extends beyond currently approved indications to additional patients whose tumors have (epi)genetic changes affecting homologous recombination repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE Due to advances in anticancer treatment and supportive care, patients increasingly complained about nonphysical side effects of chemotherapy and targeted therapy in recent years. Therefore, continuous assessment of side effects and patients' perceptions is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the identification and severity of side effects perceived by ovarian cancer (OC) and breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing contemporary anticancer therapy. METHODS Between 2015 and 2017, consecutive chemo-naïve OC and BC patients were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Interviews were performed 12 ± 3 weeks after start of anticancer therapy, and patients were asked to select and rank, according to severity, 72 physical or nonphysical symptoms potentially related to their treatment. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. RESULTS Forty-five OC patients and 98 BC patients completed the interview. Sleeping difficulties were ranked as the most troublesome symptom, followed by concerns about family or partner, and loss of hair. Alopecia was the most predominant side effect for BC patients, whereas OC patients were highly afflicted by numbness in limbs. Chemotherapy alone or in combination with targeted therapy caused pronounced sleep disturbances. Prolonged taxane treatment led to shortness of breath and numbness in limbs. Vomiting was ranked by one and nausea by eight women among the five most bothersome symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Sleep disturbances have lately emerged as the most severe problem in women with OC or BC receiving anticancer therapy. Concerns about family and partner were ranked second in the current study and first in previous investigations.

Abstract
The role of trefoil factor 3 (intestinal) (TFF3) has been analyzed in numerous cancers, such as breast and gastrointestinal cancer, and has been associated with poor prognosis. However, the role of TFF3 in ovarian cancers is not clear. Expression analysis of TFF3 in 91 ovarian cancer patients was performed by immunohistochemistry of primary paraffin-embedded tumor samples. The results were scored according to staining intensity and percentage of positive tumor cells resulting in an immune-reactive score (IRS) of 0-12. These results were correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and survival. TFF3 expression in our patient cohort exhibited a tendency towards improved overall and progression-free survival (PFS). In TFF3-positive serous and high-grade serous ovarian cancers, the median PFS was 27.6 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 0-55.7] vs. 15.2 months in TFF3-negative tumors (95% CI: 13.8-16.6) (P=0.183). The median overall survival was 53.9 months in TFF3-positive tumors (95% CI: Non-applicable) vs. 44.4 months in TFF3-negative cases (95% CI: 30.5-58.3) (P=0.36). TFF3 negativity was significantly associated with higher tumor grade (P=0.05). Based on our results, further studies are required in order to elucidate whether survival and chemosensitivity are affected by TFF3 expression in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to compare Dental Age (DA) of children with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa recessiva (DEBr) with the DA of healthy children. METHODS Orthopantomographs (OPG's) of children with DEBr were compared with those of healthy children. Dental maturity was estimated using Dermirjian's method. A total of 48 pairs of OPG's were compared. RESULTS There was a considerable range of variation in the difference between the chronological age and the dental age of both groups. This varied from minus 2 years 8 months to plus 3 years for the control children and minus 3 years 1 month to plus 3 years 4 months for the DEBr children. Despite this wider range the average DA of children with DEBr was statistically significantly delayed by 2 years 3 months. CONCLUSIONS The delay in dental developmental of children with DEBr may have an impact on the clinical management of these children.
