Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.The MyPathway multiple-basket study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02091141) is evaluating targeted therapies in nonindicated tumors with relevant molecular alterations. We assessed pertuzumab + trastuzumab in a tissue-agnostic cohort of adult patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-amplified and/or -overexpressed and/or -mutated solid tumors. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR); secondary end points included survival and safety. At data cutoff (March 2022), 346 patients with HER2 amplification and/or overexpression with/without HER2 mutations (n = 263), or HER2 mutations alone (n = 83) had been treated. Patients with HER2 amplification and/or overexpression had an ORR of 25.9% (68/263, 95% CI, 20.7 to 31.6), including five complete responses (urothelial [n = 2], salivary gland [n = 2], and colon [n = 1] cancers). Activity was higher in those with wild-type (ORR, 28.1%) versus mutated KRAS (ORR, 7.1%). Among patients with HER2 amplification, ORR was numerically higher in patients with immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ (41.0%; 32/78) or 2+ (21.9%; 7/32), versus 1+ (8.3%; 1/12) or no expression (0%; 0/20). In patients with HER2 mutations alone, ORR was 6.0% (5/83, 95% CI, 2.0 to 13.5). Pertuzumab + trastuzumab showed activity in various HER2-amplified and/or -overexpressed tumors with wild-type KRAS, with the range of activity dependent on tumor type, but had limited activity in the context of KRAS mutations, HER2 mutations alone, or 0-1+ HER2 expression.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and treatment is guided by biomarker profiles representing distinct molecular subtypes. Breast cancer arises from the breast ductal epithelium, and experimental data suggests breast cancer subtypes have different cells of origin within that lineage. The precise cells of origin for each subtype and the transcriptional networks that characterize these tumor-normal lineages are not established. In this work, we applied bulk, single-cell (sc), and single-nucleus (sn) multi-omic techniques as well as spatial transcriptomics and multiplex imaging on 61 samples from 37 breast cancer patients to show characteristic links in gene expression and chromatin accessibility between breast cancer subtypes and their putative cells of origin. We applied the PAM50 subtyping algorithm in tandem with bulk RNA-seq and snRNA-seq to reliably subtype even low-purity tumor samples and confirm promoter accessibility using snATAC. Trajectory analysis of chromatin accessibility and differentially accessible motifs clearly connected progenitor populations with breast cancer subtypes supporting the cell of origin for basal-like and luminal A and B tumors. Regulatory network analysis of transcription factors underscored the importance of BHLHE40 in luminal breast cancer and luminal mature cells, and KLF5 in basal-like tumors and luminal progenitor cells. Furthermore, we identify key genes defining the basal-like ( PRKCA , SOX6 , RGS6 , KCNQ3 ) and luminal A/B ( FAM155A , LRP1B ) lineages, with expression in both precursor and cancer cells and further upregulation in tumors. Exhausted CTLA4-expressing CD8+ T cells were enriched in basal-like breast cancer, suggesting altered means of immune dysfunction among breast cancer subtypes. We used spatial transcriptomics and multiplex imaging to provide spatial detail for key markers of benign and malignant cell types and immune cell colocation. These findings demonstrate analysis of paired transcription and chromatin accessibility at the single cell level is a powerful tool for investigating breast cancer lineage development and highlight transcriptional networks that define basal and luminal breast cancer lineages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HER2 mutations are targetable alterations in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In the SUMMIT basket study, patients with HER2-mutant MBC received neratinib monotherapy, neratinib + fulvestrant, or neratinib + fulvestrant + trastuzumab (N + F + T). We report results from 71 patients with HR+, HER2-mutant MBC, including 21 (seven in each arm) from a randomized substudy of fulvestrant versus fulvestrant + trastuzumab (F + T) versus N + F + T. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with HR+ HER2-negative MBC with activating HER2 mutation(s) and prior cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) therapy received N + F + T (oral neratinib 240 mg/day with loperamide prophylaxis, intramuscular fulvestrant 500 mg on days 1, 15, and 29 of cycle 1 then q4w, intravenous trastuzumab 8 mg/kg then 6 mg/kg q3w) or F + T or fulvestrant alone. Those whose disease progressed on F + T or fulvestrant could cross-over to N + F + T. Efficacy endpoints included investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (RECIST v1.1), duration of response, and progression-free survival (PFS). Plasma and/or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples were collected at baseline; plasma was collected during and at end of treatment. Extracted DNA was analyzed by next-generation sequencing. RESULTS ORR for 57 N + F + T-treated patients was 39% [95% confidence interval (CI) 26% to 52%); median PFS was 8.3 months (95% CI 6.0-15.1 months). No responses occurred in fulvestrant- or F + T-treated patients; responses in patients crossing over to N + F + T supported the requirement for neratinib in the triplet. Responses were observed in patients with ductal and lobular histology, 1 or ≥1 HER2 mutations, and co-occurring HER3 mutations. Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA sequencing revealed acquisition of additional HER2 alterations, and mutations in genes including PIK3CA, enabling further precision targeting and possible re-response. CONCLUSIONS The benefit of N + F + T for HR+ HER2-mutant MBC after progression on CDK4/6is is clinically meaningful and, based on this study, N + F + T has been included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network treatment guidelines. SUMMIT has improved our understanding of the translational implications of targeting HER2 mutations with neratinib-based therapy.

Abstract
In metastatic breast cancer, HER2-activating mutations frequently co-occur with mutations in PIK3CA, TP53, or CDH1. Of these co-occurring mutations, HER2 and PIK3CA are the most commonly comutated gene pair, with approximately 40% of HER2-mutated breast cancers also having activating mutations in PIK3CA. To study the effects of co-occurring HER2 and PIK3CA mutations, we generated genetically engineered mice with the HER2V777L; PIK3CAH1047R transgenes (HP mice) and studied the resulting breast cancers both in vivo as well as ex vivo using cancer organoids. HP breast cancers showed accelerated tumor formation in vivo and increased invasion and migration in in vitro assays. HP breast cancer cells were resistant to the pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, neratinib, but were effectively treated with neratinib plus the HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan. Proteomic and RNA-seq analysis of HP breast cancers identified increased gene expression of cyclin D1 and p21WAF1/Cip1 and changes in cell-cycle markers. Combining neratinib with CDK4/6 inhibitors was another effective strategy for treating HP breast cancers, with neratinib plus palbociclib showing a statistically significant reduction in development of mouse HP tumors as compared to either drug alone. The efficacy of both the neratinib plus trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib plus palbociclib combinations was validated using a human breast cancer patient-derived xenograft with very similar HER2 and PIK3CA mutations to the HP mice. Further, these two drug combinations effectively treated spontaneous lung metastasis in syngeneic mice transplanted with HP breast cancer organoids. This study provides valuable preclinical data to support the ongoing phase 1 clinical trials of these drug combinations in breast cancer. SIGNIFICANCE In HER2-mutated breast cancer, PIK3CA mutation activates p21-CDK4/6-cyclin D1 signaling to drive resistance to HER2-targeted therapies, which can be overcome using CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Abstract
PURPOSE About 50% of breast cancers are defined as HER2-low and may benefit from HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates. While tissue sequencing has evaluated potential differences in genomic profiles for patients with HER2-low breast cancer, genetic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have not been well described. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We retrospectively analyzed 749 patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and ctDNA evaluation by Guardant360 from three academic medical centers. Tumors were classified as HER2-low, HER2-0 (IHC 0) or HER2-positive. Single-nucleotide variants, copy-number variants, and oncogenic pathways were compared across the spectrum of HER2 expression. Overall survival (OS) was evaluated by HER2 status and according to oncogenic pathways. RESULTS Patients with HER2-low had higher rates of PIK3CA mutations [relative risk ratio (RRR), 1.57; P = 0.024] compared with HER2-0 MBC. There were no differences in ERBB2 alterations or oncogenic pathways between HER2-low and HER2-0 MBC. Patients with HER2-positive MBC had more ERBB2 alterations (RRR, 12.43; P = 0.002 for amplification; RRR, 3.22; P = 0.047 for mutations, in the hormone receptor-positive cohort), fewer ERS1 mutations (RRR, 0.458; P = 0.029), and fewer ER pathway alterations (RRR, 0.321; P < 0.001). There was no difference in OS for HER2-low and HER2-0 MBC [HR, 1.01; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.79-1.29], while OS was improved in HER2-positive MBC (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.21-0.49; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We observed a higher rate of PIK3CA mutations, but no significant difference in ERBB2 alterations, oncogenic pathways, or prognosis, between patients with HER2-low and HER2-0 MBC. If validated, our findings support the conclusion that HER2-low MBC does not represent a unique biological subtype.

Abstract
Abstract
In metastatic breast cancer, HER2 activating mutations frequently co-occur with mutations in the PIK3CA, TP53, or E-cadherin genes. Of these co-occurring mutations, HER2 and PIK3CA mutations are the most prevalent gene pair, with approximately 40% of HER2 mutated breast cancers also having activating mutations in PIK3CA. To study the effects of co-occurring HER2 and PIK3CA mutations, we bred genetically engineered mice with the (loxP-STOP-loxP) HER2V777L; PIK3CAH1047R transgenes (HP mice) and studied the resulting breast cancers both in vivo as well as ex vivo using breast cancer organoids. HP mice rapidly developed invasive mammary adenocarcinoma at a median time of 2.1 weeks after adenoviral Cre injection into the mammary gland. Organoids from these breast cancers showed increased number of buddings in branching morphogenesis assay and increased migration and invasion in vitro. In vivo, HP breast cancers are resistance to the pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, neratinib, but are effectively treated by the combination of neratinib plus trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Ex vivo, we found strong synergy between neratinib and T-DXd in HP organoids. Proteomic and RNA-seq analysis of HP breast cancers showed increased gene expression of CCND1 (cyclin D1) and CDKN1A (which encodes p21WAF1/Cip1) and changes in cell cycle markers. An increase in p-p53, p-p27, and p-PDK1 in HP organoids was seen. The GSEA analysis showed that the mTOR pathway and the MYC target signature were significantly upregulated in the HP organoid group. As p21 stabilizes the cyclin D1-CDK4/6 complex to further activate CDK4/6, we found CDK4/6 inhibitors inhibit cell proliferation in HP mice-derived organoids. Combining neratinib with CDK4/6 inhibitors was another effective strategy for HP breast cancers with neratinib plus palbociclib showing a statistically significant reduction in mouse HP tumors as compared to either drug alone. We validated both the neratinib plus T-DXd and neratinib plus palbociclib combinations using a human breast cancer patient-derived xenograft that has HER2 and PIK3CA mutations very similar to our transgenic mouse. This study provides valuable preclinical evidence for these drug combinations, which are being tested in phase 1 clinical trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: HER2 activating mutations occur in 2-5% of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. These mutations cluster in the kinase domains and at amino acids 309-310 in the extracellular domain. The MutHER, SUMMIT, and PlasmaMATCH clinical trials have shown neratinib monotherapy or neratinib plus fulvestrant combination produce clinical benefit in 28% to 46% in HER2-mutated MBC patients, but median progression-free survival was only 3.6 to 5.4 months. In order to improve the knowledge and outcomes for patients with HER2-mutated MBC, we compared the mutational landscape and gene expression of HER2-mutated MBC patients to HER2-amplified and HER2-wild type MBC patients. Methods: De-identified data from a cohort of stage 4 breast cancer patients (n=1,834) sequenced with the Tempus xT (DNA-seq of 595-648 genes, whole exome-capture RNA-seq) solid tumor assay was retrospectively analyzed. The most recent sample of the patient was used for analyses. Patients were stratified by HER2 mutational status: HER2-wild type (HER2-wt), HER2-amplifications (HER2-amps), or HER2-mutants (HER2-muts). Additionally, a sub-analysis was conducted among HER2-mutants to compare kinase domain mutations to other HER2 mutations. Patient demographic characteristics were compared between groups along with the prevalence of individual gene alterations (pathogenic/likely pathogenic short variants and copy number alterations), adjusted for false-discovery. Results: Within the cohort, 62 (3.4%) patients harbored HER2-muts tumors and 125 (6.8%) patients had HER2-amps tumors. Three patients, whose tumors had both HER2 mutation and amplification, were classified among the HER2-muts. Relative to the HER2-wt cohort (median = 53 yo), HER2-muts patients were older (median = 55 yo) while HER2-amps patients were younger (median = 49 yo) (P< 0.001). Significant differences were observed in genomic alterations co-occurring with HER2-muts compared to HER2-wt and HER2-amps, including CDK12 (4.8% vs 0.2% vs 74%), CDH1 (44% vs 11% vs 4.8%), ESR1 (4.8% vs 21% vs 8.8%), TOP2A (3.2% vs 0.5% vs 14%), and ERBB3 (11% vs 0.9% vs 0.8%). Of note, the majority of CDK12 mutations are amplifications (96%). Median HER2 mRNA log10 gene expression differed among the three cohorts (HER2-muts (3.79), HER2-wt (3.56), HER2-amps (4.54); P< 0.001). Among HER2-muts patients, 46 (74.2%) patients had HER2 kinase domain mutations (HER2-kinase). Relative to other HER2-muts patients, HER2-kinase patients displayed a lower prevalence of CDH1 mutations (35% vs 69%; P = 0.018). No significant differences were noted in ERBB3 co-mutations, however all 7 were missense variants (5 of which are p.E928G variants) and occurred among HER2-kinase patients. Conclusions: Real-world data show increased HER2 mRNA expression in both HER2-mut and HER2-amps MBC patients. Co-occurring genomic alterations were different among all three groups. Notably, ERBB3 and CDH1 alterations co-occurred commonly in HER2-mut MBC patients, while ESR1 alterations co-occurred in only 4.8%. All ERBB3 co-mutations occurred with HER2 kinase domain mutations, while CDH1 co-mutations were less prevalent in the HER2-kinase group. Understanding the frequency and spectrum of HER2 mutations in MBC, as well as co-mutations, will help to guide combination treatment strategies and improve the clinical benefit of targeted therapy in HER2-mutated MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Estrogen receptor (ER) loss occurs in about 20% of recurrent breast cancers (BC) and is associated with unresponsiveness to endocrine therapy (ET) and poor prognosis. Prior studies evaluating ER-loss included predominately patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and therefore the impact of ER-loss in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is unknown. In this retrospective analysis, using real-world data, we aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical significance of ER-loss in ILC. Methods: Advanced BC were molecularly profiled at Caris Life Sciences (Phoenix, AZ) with NextGen Sequencing of DNA (592-gene panel or whole-exome sequencing), RNA (whole transcriptome sequencing, WTS) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of select markers. A large real-world evidence (RWE) database combining Caris’ molecular data with clinical information obtained from insurance claims data (CODEai) was interrogated and overall survival (OS) was calculated from time of tissue collection to last patient contact. A tumor was considered to have ER-loss if therapies approved only for ER-positive BC were prescribed prior to obtaining a negative ER IHC result. OS was compared using Kaplan-Meier estimates for defined patient cohorts; significance was determined as p values < 0.05. For molecular analyses, Fisher-Exact or Chi-Square tests were used to determine p values. Correction for multiple comparisons was performed using Benjamini-Hochberg to calculate q values. Results: The RWE database included 24,824 patients with advanced BC. At the time of tissue collection for molecular profiling, 6,786 advanced BC patients had been previously treated with ET (with or without mTOR or CDK4/6 inhibitors), of whom 1,338 had data available on histologic classification and ER IHC. The final analytical cohort included 263 patients with ILC and 1,075 with IDC. ER-loss was identified in 11.4% of ILC (n=30/263) and 19.6% (n=210/1075) of IDC (p=0.0017). In ILC, ER-loss was associated with significantly worse OS (HR: 1.75, 95%CI: 1.10-2.79, p=0.016) compared with no ER-loss. In the cohort of patients with ER-loss, patients with ILC had significantly worse OS compared with IDC (HR=2.03, 95% CI: 1.267-3.251, p=0.003). Further, when 1,016 tumors with ER-loss (regardless of histology) were stratified by the median OS (mOS=11mo), positive PD-L1 expression (34% vs. 22%, p=0.04, q=0.22), HER2 IHC positivity (16% vs. 7.8%, p=0.003, q=0.08) and HER2 amplification (16% vs. 4.7%, p=0.0006, q=0.04) were enriched in patients with longer mOS; while amplification of TEFB (0.38% vs. 2.6%, p=0.047, q=0.23) and MYB (0.38% vs. 2.6%, p=0.047, q=0.23) were enriched in patients with shorter mOS. WTS identified 197 differentially expressed genes, the majority of which were enriched in patients with longer mOS (q< 0.05). Conclusions: In this large real-word dataset, ER-loss likely occurred in 11.4% of ILC and was associated with worse OS compared to both patients with IDC and ER-loss and ILC without ER-loss. Our analysis had several limitations; notably, our definition of ER-loss was based on prior treatment, we could not distinguish between de novo or recurrent metastatic disease and time of tissue collection was not standardized during the course of treatment. Thus, additional studies are needed to confirm these findings. However, this study does suggest that ER-loss occurs in a subset of patients with ILC and has poor prognostic implications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The ATEMPT trial primary analysis found that one year of adjuvant trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) achieved a 3-year iDFS of 97.8% for patients with stage I HER2+ breast cancer, but was not associated with fewer clinically relevant toxicities (CRTs) compared with paclitaxel and trastuzumab (TH). In this end-of-study analysis, we report 5-year survival outcomes and correlative analyses from the trial. Methods: Patients with stage I centrally confirmed HER2+ breast cancer were randomly assigned 3:1 to adjuvant T-DM1 for one year or TH and received T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for 17 cycles or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV with weekly trastuzumab IV followed by trastuzumab for 9 months. The co-primary objectives were to compare the incidence of CRTs between the 2 arms and to evaluate iDFS in patients receiving T-DM1. To investigate proteomic correlates of recurrence, spatial proteomic analyses were performed on samples from 13 patients experiencing iDFS events (cases) and 24 matched controls using the NanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler. The impact of HER2 heterogeneity on outcomes was investigated among 17 cases and 51 matched controls by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH). HER2 genetic heterogeneity was assessed by scrutinizing the whole tumor area and defined as the occurrence of HER2 gene amplification in >5% but < 50% invasive tumor cells. The risk of recurrence was evaluated centrally with the HER2DX genomic assay from 225 primary tumor samples. Germline whole genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted among 55 patients experiencing T-DM1-induced thrombocytopenia and/or bleeding and 55 matched controls to identify genomic correlates for this side effect. Results: A total of 497 patients who initiated protocol therapy were included in this analysis (383 T-DM1 and 114 TH). After a median follow up 5.8 years, among patients receiving T-DM1 there were a total of 11 iDFS events, with 3 distant recurrences. The 5-year iDFS for T-DM1 was 97.0% (95% CI, 95.3-98.8%), the 5-year recurrence-free interval (RFI) was 98.6% (95% CI: 97.4-99.8%) and the 5-year overall survival (OS) for T-DM1 was 97.8 % (95% CI, 96.3-99.3%). Although the study was not powered to evaluate the efficacy of TH, among the 114 patients receiving TH, a total of 9 iDFS events were observed, including 2 distant events; the 5-year iDFS with TH was 91.3% (95% CI: 86.0-96.9%), 5-year RFI was 93.3% (95% CI: 88.6-98.2%) and 5-year OS was 97.9% (95% CI: 95.2-100%). A total of 56 samples were evaluable for heterogeneity analyses, among which 14% (n=8) harbored HER2 genetic heterogeneity. Spatial proteomic analyses found that NF1 (adjusted p=0.72 × 10-6) and CTLA-4 (adjusted p=0.15 × 10-3) were significantly upregulated in primary samples from cases, while cleaved caspase 9, CD25, GITR, ICOS, p53 and PD-L2 were significantly upregulated in controls (all with adjusted p< 0.05). Germline WGS found that the top gene associations with thrombocytopenia and thrombocytopenia or bleeding were ALMS1 (p=0,19 × 10-3) and APBA3 (p=0,23 × 10-3), respectively, although none reaching the threshold for genome wide significance. rs62143195 and rs114169776 were the top single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with thrombocytopenia and thrombocytopenia or bleeding, respectively. Data on the impact of HER2 heterogeneity and of HER2DX score on survival outcomes will be presented. Conclusion: With longer follow-up, adjuvant T-DM1 confirmed outstanding long-term outcomes among patients with stage I HER2+ breast cancer, demonstrating a 5-year RFI of 98.6%. Spatial proteomic analyses identified a potential association between NF1 and CTLA-4 expression with recurrence. Details on the impact of HER2 heterogeneity and HER2DX assay on prognosis will be presented.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: CDK 4/6i have altered the therapeutic landscape of HR+, HER2- MBC, improving progression free and overall survival (PFS and OS) compared to endocrine therapy (ET) alone. Despite durable responses to CDK 4/6i in a large majority of patients, treatment response monitoring in this population has historically included numerous serial blood-based and imaging studies at frequent time points. There is a growing global interest in utilizing novel non-invasive biomarker-driven disease monitoring assessments to improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs. Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), a key cell-cycle regulated enzyme important for nucleotide metabolism during DNA synthesis, is regulated by the E2F pathway, downstream of CDK 4/6. Studies have shown that DiviTum® TK1 activity (TKa) may serve as both a prognostic and predictive biomarker of CDK 4/6i treatment response (McCartney et al, Clin Canc Res, 2020; Malorni et al, Eur J Cancer, 2022; Bagegni et al, Breast Cancer Res, 2017). Early TKa suppression within 2 weeks (wk) post CDK 4/6i therapy initiation is associated with improved PFS, suggesting a subgroup of patients who may be able to de-escalate imaging frequency. Elevated TKa at baseline and post CDK 4/6i may identify patients with CDK 4/6i-resistant disease and disease progression (PD) requiring early therapy modification. TK IMPACT is a prospective, single-arm trial designed to assess the impact of incorporation of DiviTum® TKa on a physician’s decision regarding subsequent timing of routine disease monitoring modalities in patients with advanced HR+, HER2- MBC receiving ET plus CDK 4/6i (NCT04968964). Methods: Blood sample collections will be analyzed using DiviTum® TKa at baseline (bl), wk 2, 4, 6, 8, and Q 4 wks thereafter beginning at wk 8 during the first 24-wk time period of study enrollment (+/- 3 days); followed by Q 12 wks thereafter, until PD or 36 months, whichever occurs first. Optional repeat TKa within 2-4 wks (+/-3 days) is permitted in case of rising TKa. Research blood (bl, wk 2, 12, 24, 48, and PD) and optional archival tumor tissue collection at diagnosis and PD will be obtained for correlatives. The investigator will record intended imaging modalities and timing prior to receipt of TKa, followed by documentation of any changes in imaging testing interval after receipt of TKa. Key eligibility criteria include postmenopausal women age ≥18 years with HR+, HER2- MBC, to initiate (Cohort 1) or are currently receiving (≤24 months, Cohort 2) any FDA approved first line ET plus CDK 4/6i with a life expectancy > 6 months. The primary endpoint is any physician-reported intended change in imaging testing interval post TKa by study cohort, within the first 48-wk period of study participation. Key secondary endpoints are concordance rate between TKa values and progression status at first on-study imaging and longitudinal TKa dynamics. Key exploratory endpoints include plasma and tumor tissue-based biomarkers of CDK 4/6i response and resistance. A total of 40 patients will be enrolled (n=20/Cohort). The expected change rate is 20% with a 95% Wilson confidence interval of 0.105~0.248 across all patients and if within each cohort, with a 95% Wilson confidence interval of 0.081~0.416 for N=20. N=40 allows the lower limit of the 95% CI > 10% and that of the N=20 in Cohort 1 to be ~10%, indicating some clinically meaningful influence of TKa progression on patient management. The study is open to accrual and has presently enrolled 5 patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: KEYNOTE-522 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial which resulted in the FDA approval of pembrolizumab with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients (pts) with newly diagnosed, high-risk, early-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Given the improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) and event-free survival rates, this regimen has emerged as standard-of-care (SOC) therapy. Adverse events in pts on this treatment regimen in clinical practice is unknown and understanding the real-world toxicity of this regimen is critical.
Methods: In this IRB approved retrospective, single-center study we examined pts with early-stage TNBC who received planned treatment per KEYNOTE-522 per SOC from 2021-present. This regimen includes a year of pembrolizumab combined with 4 cycles of neoadjuvant carboplatin/paclitaxel followed by 4 cycles of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide. Number and length of treatment delays, treatment related toxicities of all grades, and pCR rate were collected from the electronic medical record.
Results: Of the 87 identified pts, 2 were excluded due to locally recurrent or metastatic disease and 6 did not receive immunotherapy due to concerns for toxicity or patient preference. Of the 79 pts who initiated treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, median age of the cohort was 52 (27-77). 9 pts had a BRCA1 mutation and 1 pt had a BRCA2 mutation. 41 (51.9%) had T1-2 disease and 38 (48.1%) had T3-4 disease. 37 (46.8%) pts had N0 disease and 42 (53.2%) had N1-3 disease. 15 pts had baseline comorbidities, including heart disease, kidney disease, type II DM, and/or peripheral neuropathy. 68 pts (86.1%) had baseline ECOG 0, 9 (11.4%) had ECOG 1, and 2 (2.5%) had ECOG 2. At the time of analysis, 70 pts (88.6%) were receiving active treatment, of which 47 (67.1%) had completed ≥50% of the planned neoadjuvant therapy. Of pts completing ≥50% of planned neoadjuvant therapy and pts off therapy (N=56), 31 (55.4%) had 1 or more hospitalizations and 23 (41.1%) had 1 or more emergency room visits. 30 pts had treatment delays (53.6%) and 21 pts (37.5%) had dose reductions. Rates of adverse events are presented in Table 1. Of the 79 analyzed pts, 35 have undergone surgery. pCR rate was 45.7% (N=16). 8 (22.9%) pts had RCB-I, 4 (11.4%) pts had RCB-II, 3 (8.6%) pts had RCB-III, and 4 (11.4%) pts had residual disease without RCB calculation. Updated analysis will be included at time of presentation.
Conclusions: In this single-center retrospective study of pts receiving chemoimmunotherapy for TNBC, we found higher rates of grade 3 toxicity, including nausea, fatigue, neutropenia, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, and hypothyroidism, and lower pCR rate than was reported in the KEYNOTE-522 trial. This may reflect a more heterogeneous population of pts treated in routine clinical practice who are typically less fit than pts on clinical trials. Additionally, pts in this study had higher T stages (48.1% with T3-4 disease vs 26.0% in trial) and node positive disease (53.7% with N1-3 disease vs 48.8% in trial). Limitations include immaturity of data and small sample size; however, these data warrant validation through longer-term follow-up and multicenter validation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) paired with endocrine therapy (ET) are considered first-line (1L) therapy for patients (pts) with HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer (aBC). A minority of pts will demonstrate primary resistance to CDK4/6i, as characterized by early progression. Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is a cell-cycle regulated enzyme downstream of CDK4/6 and involved in nucleotide metabolism during DNA synthesis. Prior studies have shown TK1 may serve as a biomarker of response to CDK4/6i, with early TK1 activity (TK1a) suppression after initiation of CDK 4/6i therapy associated with improved PFS. Lack of TK1a suppression may be associated with primary resistance to CDK4/6i. In this study, we aim to analyze response to subsequent lines of therapy and overall survival (OS) of pts with early progression on 1L CDK4/6i. Methods: Pts with HR+ HER2- aBC from a phase II trial of an alternative schedule of palbociclib (palbo alt dosing trial NCT 3007979) and from a retrospective palbociclib study were included in this analysis. Pts in the palbo alt dosing trial underwent baseline and C1D15 TK1a analysis after initiation on CDK4/6i. C1D15 TK1a suppression was defined at TK1a < 30 Du/L. Pts in the retrospective palbociclib study included pts receiving palbo as part of their standard of care 1L therapy for HR+ HER2- aBC at Washington University in Saint Louis from 2016 to 2021. Clinical information, including treatment start and stop dates on each of the next-line therapies, were collected from the electronic medical record. PFS was estimated by the treatment duration on a specified treatment regimen. Early progression on CDK4/6i was defined as PFS < 6 mo. Best response was defined as next line of therapy with the numerically longest PFS. OS was defined as time to death from the initiation of CDK4/6i. Results: Of the 54 pts enrolled on the palbo alt dosing trial, 51 pts were evaluable for clinical benefit and 46 pts were evaluable for TK1a suppression rate at C1D15. 7 pts (15.2%) were found without TK1a suppression at C1D15. This lack of TK1a suppression on palbo was associated with a significantly shorter PFS (median PFS=3.1 mo) compared to not reached in pts with TK1a suppression at C1D15. We conducted clinical analysis on N=26 pts who exhibited early progression on CDK4/6i which included 10 pts from the palbo alt dosing trial and 16 from the retrospective study. The average subsequent line of therapies in this cohort was 3, with the most common second line (2L) therapy being chemotherapy (N=17, 65.4%) and ET (N=8, 30.8%). The median PFS for pts receiving 2L chemotherapy and ET was 4.09 mo and 3.64 mo, respectively. 10 pts received both chemotherapy and ET with 7 (70.0%) achieving best response with chemotherapy compared to 3 pts (30.0%) who achieved best response with ET. The median OS for the cohort was 14.6 mo. Conclusions: Early progression on CDK4/6i is associated with a particularly poor prognosis. In our cohort, the median OS was far below the expected median OS for pts receiving 1L palbo as reported in the PALOMA-2 trial (14.6 mo vs 53.9 mo). Early progression on CDK4/6i is associated with more aggressive disease which may respond more favorably to chemotherapy, as demonstrated by best response to therapy. Further prospective studies are warranted to explore this treatment approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neratinib is an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for HER2-positive early-stage and metastatic breast cancer. Diarrhea is the most frequent side effect and the most common reason for early discontinuation. The phase II CONTROL trial investigated antidiarrheal prophylaxis or neratinib dose escalation (DE) for prevention of diarrhea. We present complete study results including final data for two DE strategies. METHODS Patients who completed trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy received neratinib 240 mg/day for 1 year. Early cohorts investigated mandatory prophylaxis with loperamide, then additional budesonide or colestipol. Final cohorts assessed neratinib DE over the first 2 (DE1) or 4 weeks (DE2). The primary endpoint was incidence of grade ≥3 diarrhea. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using FACT-B and EQ-5D-5L. RESULTS 563 patients were enrolled into six cohorts. All strategies reduced grade ≥3 diarrhea with the lowest incidence in DE1 (DE1 13%; colestipol + loperamide [CL] 21%, DE2 27%; budesonide + loperamide [BL] 28%; loperamide [L] 31%; colestipol + loperamide as needed [CL-PRN] 33%). Diarrhea-related discontinuations occurred early and were lowest in DE1 (DE1 3%; CL 4%; DE2 6%; CL-PRN 8%; BL 11%; L 20%). More patients stayed on neratinib for the prescribed period versus historical controls. Prior pertuzumab use did not affect rates of grade ≥3 diarrhea, diarrhea-related discontinuations, or treatment duration. Early transient reductions in HRQoL scores were observed. CONCLUSIONS These complete results from CONTROL show improved neratinib tolerability with proactive management at the start of therapy. Two-week neratinib DE with loperamide as needed was particularly effective. CLINICALTRIALS GOV REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02400476.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: Alectinib is FDA-approved for ALK-positive, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We analyzed alectinib treatment in a pan-tumor population with ALK alterations from MyPathway (NCT02091141), a multi-basket study assessing approved therapies in non-indicated advanced solid tumors with relevant alterations.
Methods: Enrolled patients (pts) were ≥18 yrs old and had metastatic tumors with ALK gene rearrangements, putative activating non-synonymous ALK mutations, and/or ALK gene amplification. Pts received alectinib 600 mg PO BID. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]). Other endpoints included duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR; CR + PR + stable disease [SD] >4 mos), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety.
Results: By the 11-18-2021 data cutoff, 21 pts with various tumor types had been enrolled and treated (ALK mutations or amplification, n=11 [52.4%]; ALK rearrangements +/- other ALK alterations, n=10 [47.6%]). Pts had a median of 2 (range, 1-5) prior lines of therapy. In the 10 pts with ALK rearrangements, there were 3 PRs (30.0%) with a median DOR of 6.8 mos (Table). An additional 3 pts in this group had SD >4 mos; DCR was 60.0% (6/10). In contrast, there were no responses among the 11 pts with ALK mutations or amplification. Confirmed ORR for the entire group was 14.3% (3/21), and DCR was 42.9% (9/21). Median PFS was 8.2 mos in pts with ALK rearrangements vs 1.8 mos for those with other ALK alterations. Alectinib-related adverse events (AEs) were observed in 85.7% of pts, with 3 (14.3%) experiencing grade 3 AEs (anemia; hypokalemia; and changes in AST, ALT, and/or blood creatinine levels). AEs were consistent with the known alectinib safety profile.
Conclusions: Although the number of pts is small, alectinib appears active in those with non-NSCLC advanced solid tumors with ALK rearrangements. As in NSCLC, cancers with ALK mutations or amplification were not responsive to ALK inhibition.

Abstract
1028 Background: N is an oral, irreversible pan-HER TKI with activity against HER2 mutations. Genomic analyses from the SUMMIT MBC cohort following N±F suggest that resistance to N may occur via mutant allele amplification or secondary HER2 mutations. Adding T to N+F in SUMMIT showed encouraging durable responses in patients (pts) with HR+, HER2-mutant MBC and prior CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i). Methods: SUMMIT (NCT01953926) enrolled pts with HR+, HER2-negative MBC with activating HER2 mutation(s) and prior CDK4/6i. Pts received N+F+T (oral N 240 mg/d with loperamide prophylaxis, im F 500 mg d1&15 of cycle 1 then q4w, iv T 8 mg/kg initially then 6 mg/kg q3w). During the small, randomized portion of the trial, pts received N+F+T, F+T or F (1:1:1 ratio). Pts randomized to F+T or F could crossover to N+F+T at progression. Efficacy endpoints: investigator-assessed ORR and CBR (RECIST v1.1); DOR; best overall response. Pre-treatment tumor tissue was centrally assessed retrospectively by next-generation sequencing. ctDNA from patient samples was assessed by NGS. Results: SUMMIT has completed enrolment; we report efficacy from 45 pts in the N+F+T cohort, plus 10 pts who progressed on F (n=6) or F+T (n=4) and crossed over to N+F+T (Table). HER2 allelic variants in the 45 N+F+T pts and ORR (%) (pts may have >1 mutation) were: V777L (n=6, 50%), L755S/P (n=15, 40%), S310F (n=4, 50%), exon 20 insertion (n=11, 36%), other KD missense (n=6, 33%), TMD missense (n=2, 0%), exon 19 deletion (n=1, 0%). Conclusions: N+F+T is a promising combination for HR+, HER2-mutated MBC with prior exposure to CDK4/6i, across a range of activating HER2 mutations. Results from the upcoming Apr 2022 data cut, including biomarkers, safety, mechanisms of acquired resistance, and preclinical mechanism of N+T, will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT01953926. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histology of breast cancer, accounting for approximately 10-15% of cases. Prior studies have demonstrated that loss of E-cadherin, as well as alterations in tissue including CDH1, FOXA1, TBX3 and PTEN loss, that were more commonly observed in Luminal A ILC, while GATA3 was more commonly observed in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) (Ciriello et al., Cell 2015). However, data regarding the characterization of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients (pts) with metastatic ILC are limited. We hypothesized that there would be distinct mutational profiles between pts with metastatic ILC and IDC that could be characterized using ctDNA. Methods:This retrospective cohort study included de-identified clinical, pathological, and ctDNA data from pts with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) combined under a data use agreement and approved by the institutional review boards of three sites: Washington University in St. Louis (MO), Northwestern University (Chicago, IL), and Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA). All pts included in the study had ctDNA testing per standard of care with plasma-based genotyping performed by Guardant360 (Redwood City, CA) between 2015-2020. Histological classification (ILC vs. IDC) was defined based on review of pathology reports from the primary tumor or from breast biopsies of de novo MBC, and additional clinical and pathological variables were obtained via electronic medical record review. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were annotated using OncoKB and ClinVar and only pathogenic variants were included. Mutational profiles were compared across histologic subtypes using Fisher’s exact test to assess differences in alteration frequency across subtypes. Multivariable analysis was performed. Results:A total of 994 pts with MBC underwent ctDNA testing and were included in the analysis. 10.7% of pts had ILC (N=106) and 89.3% had IDC (N=888). 89.4% of ILC cases were categorized as hormone-receptor positive (HR+) compared with 67.1% of IDC cases. Pts with ILC had a lower frequency of triple-negative (6.7% vs. 17.7%) and HER2 positive (3.9% vs. 15.2%) breast cancer compared with IDC. Pts with ILC had a significantly higher number of pathogenic SNVs compared with IDC (mean 4.45 vs. 2.77; P=0.0037). In contrast, pts with ILC had a significantly lower number of copy number alterations as compared to pts with IDC (mean 0.40 vs. 1.03; P=0.0017). No differences were observed in mutant allele frequency between pts with ILC and IDC. The 5 most common alterations observed in pts with ILC were the following: PIK3CA, TP53, ESR1, ERBB2, and ARID1A. Alterations in AR, BRAF, CDH1, ERBB2, FGFR2, IDH2, KRAS, NF1, PIK3CA, SMAD4, and TERT were significantly higher in ILC than IDC (all P<0.05). In contrast, mutations in GATA3, and amplifications in ERBB2 and MYC were significantly more common in pts with IDC (all P<0.05). In multivariable analysis, mutations in BRAF, CDH1, ERBB2, IDH2, TERT remained significantly higher in ILC, while amplification of MYC was significantly higher in IDC (all P<0.05). After restricting the analysis to pts with HR+ HER2 negative MBC, the following genes were significant in multivariate analysis: CDH1 and ERBB2 for pts with ILC and MYC amplification for pts with IDC (all P<0.05). Discussion:In this large, multi-institutional dataset, pts with metastatic ILC were characterized by a significantly higher number of SNVs in ctDNA compared to pts with IDC, suggesting higher mutational burden. We report several alterations that were significantly different in ILC vs. IDC. These results demonstrate the ctDNA profile of pts with ILC, and future studies should explore serial plasma-based genotyping to track ILC evolution to develop targeted precision medicine based therapeutic approaches for this unique subset of pts with MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Neratinib (NERLYNX®), an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is approved for the extended adjuvant treatment of early-stage HER2+ breast cancer following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy and in combination with capecitabine for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Diarrhea is the most frequently reported on-target side effect associated with neratinib; in the ExteNET adjuvant trial, where no mandatory anti-diarrheal prophylaxis was used, 39.8% of patients reported grade 3 diarrhea and 16.8% of patients discontinued neratinib due to diarrhea. The CONTROL trial (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02400476) was designed to investigate pre-emptive antidiarrheal prophylaxis (loperamide alone or in combination with budesonide or colestipol) or neratinib dose escalation (DE) for the prevention of neratinib-associated diarrhea. Data for the loperamide, budesonide and colestipol cohorts have been reported previously [Barcenas et al. Ann Oncol 2020]. The final findings for the two DE regimen cohorts are reported here. Methods: CONTROL is an international, multi-cohort, open-label, phase 2 study. Patients ≥18 years of age with stage I-IIIc HER2+ breast cancer received oral neratinib (240 mg/day for 1 year) after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy. Patients were enrolled sequentially into separate cohorts investigating: 1) mandatory loperamide prophylaxis; 2) budesonide + loperamide; 3) colestipol + loperamide; 4) colestipol + loperamide PRN; 5) neratinib DE + loperamide PRN (two cohorts). DE1 schedule: neratinib 120 mg/day for week 1, 160 mg/day for week 2, then 240 mg/day from week 3 onwards to complete 12 months of treatment. DE2 schedule: neratinib 160 mg/day for weeks 1&2, 200 mg/day for weeks 3&4, then 240 mg/day from week 5 onwards up to 12 months. Both DE cohorts included loperamide PRN. Adverse events were graded according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0. Primary endpoint: incidence of grade ≥3 diarrhea. Results: A total of 563 patients were enrolled in CONTROL. All preventive strategies reduced the incidence of grade 3 diarrhea compared with that seen in ExteNET (historical control: 39.8%). Median cumulative duration of grade 3 diarrhea ranged from 2-3.5 days across the CONTROL study cohorts for the entire 12-month treatment period (compared with 5.0 days for ExteNET). The proportion of patients discontinuing neratinib because of diarrhea was decreased in all cohorts compared with ExteNET (16.8%), except for loperamide alone. Adoption of neratinib DE, particularly the 2-week DE schedule (DE1), most markedly reduced the incidence, severity, and duration of neratinib-associated diarrhea in CONTROL compared with ExteNET (see Table).
Conclusions: Neratinib DE + loperamide PRN during the first 2 weeks of treatment (DE1 cohort) was associated with the lowest rates of grade 3 diarrhea (13.3%) and diarrhea-related discontinuations (3.3%) compared with all other anti-diarrheal strategies investigated in CONTROL. These final findings from the study show improved tolerability of neratinib with all diarrhea prophylaxis strategies and suggest that neratinib DE1 with loperamide PRN allows patients to stay on treatment longer and receive the full benefit of neratinib therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE HER2 mutations (HER2mut) induce endocrine resistance in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In this single arm multi-cohort phase II trial, we evaluated the efficacy of neratinib plus fulvestrant in patients with ER+/HER2mut, HER2-non-amplified metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the fulvestrant-treated (n=24) or fulvestrant-naïve cohort (n=11). Patients with ER-negative/HER2mut MBC received neratinib monotherapy in an exploratory ER- cohort (n=5). RESULTS The clinical benefit rate (CBR: 95% CI) was 38% (18-62%), 30% (7-65%), and 25% (1-81%) in the fulvestrant-treated, fulvestrant-naïve, and ER- cohort, respectively. Adding trastuzumab at progression in 5 patients resulted in 3 partial responses and 1 stable disease {greater than or equal to}24 weeks. CBR appeared positively associated with lobular histology and negatively associated with HER2 L755 alterations. Acquired HER2mut were detected in 5 of 23 patients at progression. CONCLUSION Neratinib and fulvestrant is active for ER+/HER2mut MBC. Our data supports further evaluation of dual HER2 blockade for the treatment of HER2mut MBC.

Abstract
Study Objective To determine if the COVID19 pandemic increased the rate of same-day discharge (SDD) after minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for endometrial cancer. Design Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing MIS hysterectomy for endometrial cancer for the six months before and after the COVID19 restrictions went into place on March 17, 2020. Setting Robotic or laparoscopic procedure in the low dorsal lithotomy position. Arms were tucked and padded at their sides. Patients or Participants 166 patients underwent a MIS procedure for the indication of endometrial cancer at a large, academic institution from September 1, 2019, through October 1, 2020. 80 patients prior to the implementation of the COVID19 restrictions and 86 patients after. Interventions COVID19 pandemic with visitor restrictions and hospital policy changes placed on March 17, 2020. Measurements and Main Results SDD rate was increased following the start of the COVID19 pandemic (40% vs 58%, p= 0.02). There were no differences between the two groups in regard to operative time (p= 0.07), estimated blood loss (EBL) (p= 0.21), uterine weight (p= 0.12), age (p= 0.06), BMI (p=0.42), or surgery start time (p= 0.15). In a multivariable logistic regression model, subjects in the post COVID19 group had a 3.08 (95% CI: 1.40, 6.74, p= 0.01) higher odds of SDD than those in the pre COVID19 group. There was no difference in 30-day readmission rates (7.5% vs 5.8%, p=0.66). Conclusion With no additional interventions from a surgical standpoint, the start of the COVID19 pandemic improved SDD rates. The reason for this is speculative but may be related to patient and physician desire to keep patients out of the hospital and may provide further evidence that subjective reasons lead to an increase in hospital length of stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic therapies for metastatic biliary tract cancers are few, and patients have a median overall survival of less than 1 year. MyPathway evaluates the activity of US Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies in non-indicated tumours with potentially actionable molecular alterations. In this study, we present an analysis of patients with metastatic biliary tract cancers with HER2 amplification, overexpression, or both treated with a dual anti-HER2 regimen, pertuzumab plus trastuzumab, from MyPathway. METHODS MyPathway is a non-randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase 2a, multiple basket study. Patients aged 18 years and older with previously treated metastatic biliary tract cancers with HER2 amplification, HER2 overexpression, or both and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2 were enrolled from 23 study sites in the USA and received intravenous pertuzumab (840 mg loading dose, then 420 mg every 3 weeks) plus trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks). The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. The primary outcome and adverse events were analysed in all patients who received at least one dose of pertuzumab and trastuzumab. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02091141, and is ongoing. FINDINGS 39 patients enrolled in the MyPathway HER2 biliary tract cancer cohort between Oct 28, 2014, and May 29, 2019, were evaluable for anti-tumour activity by the March 10, 2020, data cutoff date. Median follow-up was 8·1 months (IQR 2·7-15·7). Nine of 39 patients achieved a partial response (objective response rate 23% [95% CI 11-39]). Grade 3-4 treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 18 (46%) of 39 patients, most commonly increased alanine aminotransferase and increased aspartate aminotransferase (each five [13%] of 39). Treatment-related grade 3 adverse events were reported in three (8%) of 39 patients, including increased alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood alkaline phosphatase, and blood bilirubin. Serious treatment-emergent adverse events were observed in ten (26%) of 39 patients, of which only abdominal pain occurred in more than one patient (two [5%] of 39). There were no treatment-related serious adverse events, treatment-related grade 4 events, or deaths. INTERPRETATION Treatment was well tolerated in patients with previously treated HER2-positive metastatic biliary tract cancer. The response rate is promising for the initiation of randomised, controlled trials of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab in this patient population. FUNDING F Hoffmann-La Roche-Genentech.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The irreversible pan-HER inhibitor NER showed modest single agent activity for HER2mut MBC in Part I of MutHER trial. In Part II, we hypothesized that (1) N+F would improve activity in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) HER2mut MBC due to ER-HER2 crosstalk and (2) dual HER2 blockade by adding trastuzumab at disease progression (PD) could overcome resistance.
Methods: Pts with ER+HER2mut MBC were enrolled to 2 cohorts (FUL treated or naive) to receive N+F with diarrhea prophylaxis. ER- pts received NER in an exploratory ER- cohort. Trastuzumab was added at PD if approved by insurance. Simon's Minimax 2-stage phase II design with the primary endpoint of clinical benefit rate (CBR: rates of complete/partial response [CR/PR] plus stable disease [SD] >24 weeks [wks]), with anticipated vs null hypothesis being CBR of 55% vs 35% (FUL treated) or 65% vs 40% (FUL naïve) with 80% power, 1 sided 0.05 alpha, was used. Secondary endpoints included progression free survival (PFS) and adverse events (AEs). Serial blood samples were analyzed for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) by Guardant360 for concomitant mutations, HER2mut variant allele frequency (VAF) dynamics, and resistance mechanisms.
Results: Between Sep. 2015 and Oct. 2020, 40 pts with HER2mut MBC were enrolled, completing the 1st stage of each ER+ cohort. 35 pts (21 FUL treated, 10 FUL naïve, 4 ER-) were evaluable for response, with median age 63 (35-82) years, 3 (0-12) prior MBC regimen, lobular BC in 13 (37%) and visceral mets in 32 (91%) pts. 21 (68%) ER+ pts had prior CDK4/6 inhibitor. All but 1 pt has come off study due to PD. Table 1 shows the efficacy by cohort. Further enrollment is closed per protocol. Adding trastuzumab at PD induced CB in 4 (3 PR, 1 SD≥24 wks) of 5 pts (1 ER-, 4 ER+), with PFS 28 (95% CI 18~NA) wks. Common AEs across cohorts were diarrhea (G3 21%) and fatigue (G3 5%). No G4 AEs.
ctDNA HER2mut was detected in 72% (23/32) baseline (BL) samples tested. In pts with paired samples, HER2mut VAF decreased at C1D15/C2D1 from BL in 75% (15/20) and rose in 89% (16/18) at PD. Acquired HER2mut, including the T798I gatekeeper mutation, were detected in 2 pts at PD. Mutations in TP53 (53%), PIK3CA (43%), and CDH1 (35%) were common, but none significantly associated with PFS in all or ER+ pts.
Conclusions: NER, or N+F, is active for HER2mut MBC with good tolerability. Adding trastuzumab at PD induced further response, supporting dual HER2 blockade for HER2mut MBC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chemotherapy-related amenorrhea (CRA) is a surrogate for ovarian toxicity and associated risk of infertility and premature menopause. Here, we compare CRA rate with paclitaxel (T)-trastuzumab (H) to that with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). METHODS Patients with T1N0 HER2 + early-stage breast cancer (eBC) enrolled on the ATEMPT trial and were randomized 3:1 to T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg IV every (q) 3 weeks (w) × 17 vs. T 80 mg/m2 with H IV qw × 12 (4 mg/kg load → 2 mg/kg), followed by H (6 mg/kg IV q3w × 13). Enrollees who self-reported as premenopausal were asked to complete menstrual surveys at baseline and every 6-12 months for 60 months. 18-month CRA (no periods reported during prior 6 months on 18-month survey) was the primary endpoint of this analysis. RESULTS Of 512 ATEMPT enrollees, 123 who began protocol therapy and answered baseline and at least one follow-up menstrual survey were premenopausal at enrollment. 76 had menstrual data available at 18 months without having received a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or undergone hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy. Median age was 45 (range 23-53) among 18 who had received TH and 46 (range 34-54) among 58 who had received T-DM1. The 18-month rate of CRA was 50% after TH and 24% after T-DM1 (p = 0.045). CONCLUSION Amenorrhea at 18 months was less likely in recipients of adjuvant T-DM1 than TH. Future studies are needed to understand how T-DM1 impacts risk of infertility and permanent menopause, and to assess amenorrhea rates when T-DM1 is administered after standard HER2-directed chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
Background Neratinib has efficacy in central nervous system (CNS) metastases from HER2‐positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We report outcomes among patients with CNS metastases at baseline from the phase III NALA trial of neratinib plus capecitabine (N + C) versus lapatinib plus capecitabine (L + C). Materials and Methods NALA was a randomized, active‐controlled trial in patients who received two or more previous HER2‐directed regimens for HER2‐positive MBC. Patients with asymptomatic/stable brain metastases (treated or untreated) were eligible. Patients were assigned to N + C (neratinib 240 mg per day, capecitabine 750 mg/m2 twice daily) or L + C (lapatinib 1,250 mg per day, capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily) orally. Independently adjudicated progression‐free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and CNS endpoints were considered. Results Of 621 patients enrolled, 101 (16.3%) had known CNS metastases at baseline (N + C, n = 51; L + C, n = 50); 81 had received prior CNS‐directed radiotherapy and/or surgery. In the CNS subgroup, mean PFS through 24 months was 7.8 months with N + C versus 5.5 months with L + C (hazard ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.41–1.05), and mean OS through 48 months was 16.4 versus 15.4 months (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.59–1.38). At 12 months, cumulative incidence of interventions for CNS disease was 25.5% for N + C versus 36.0% for L + C, and cumulative incidence of progressive CNS disease was 26.2% versus 41.6%, respectively. In patients with target CNS lesions at baseline (n = 32), confirmed intracranial objective response rates were 26.3% and 15.4%, respectively. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusion These analyses suggest improved PFS and CNS outcomes with N + C versus L + C in patients with CNS metastases from HER2‐positive MBC. Implications for Practice In a subgroup of patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases from HER2‐positive breast cancer after two or more previous HER2‐directed regimens, the combination of neratinib plus capecitabine was associated with improved progression‐free survival and CNS outcomes compared with lapatinib plus capecitabine. These findings build on previous phase II and III studies describing efficacy of neratinib in the prevention and treatment of CNS metastases, and support a role for neratinib as a systemic treatment option in the management of patients with HER2‐positive brain metastases following antibody‐based HER2‐directed therapies. This article reports outcomes among HER2‐positive breast cancer patients with central nervous system metastases at baseline from the phase III NALA trial of neratinib plus capecitabine versus lapatinib plus capecitabine.

Abstract
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/m2 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.

Abstract
536 Background: The primary tolerability concern with neratinib (NERLYNX®; N), an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is diarrhea. Data from the multi-cohort, open-label, phase 2 CONTROL trial [Barcenas et al. Ann Oncol 2020] demonstrated significant improvement in grade 3 diarrhea and diarrhea-related discontinuations vs the ExteNET trial, which did not mandate anti-diarrheal prophylaxis. We report a systematic analysis of tolerability in CONTROL and ExteNET. Methods: Patients (pts) ≥18y with stage I–IIIc HER2+ breast cancer received N (240 mg/d po for 1y) after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy and were enrolled sequentially into cohorts assessing different modalities to mitigate diarrhea. Cohorts with complete data were included: loperamide (L); L+budesonide (BL); L+colestipol (CL); CL as needed (CL-PRN); and N dose escalation (DE; 120 mg/d on d1–7, 160 mg/d on d8–14, and 240 mg/d thereafter). Integrated ranking (IR) analysis was performed on 13 endpoints in 4 domains (exposure, diarrhea, adverse events [AEs], quality of life [QoL]) identified with input from clinicians; cohorts were ranked from 1 (best) to 5 (worst). Index scores (IS) based on individual pt data from CONTROL were calculated as supportive analysis to confirm selection of the regimen with best overall tolerability, which was then compared with ExteNET. Results: Of the 5 CONTROL cohorts evaluated, DE ranked best for most endpoints. Average ranks per IR method: L 3.4; BL 3.2; CL 3.0; CL-PRN 3.3; DE 2.0. The IS analysis supported DE as the cohort with best overall tolerability. Comparison of CONTROL DE vs ExteNET showed improvement in tolerability in all domains (table). Conclusions: These analyses suggest superiority of weekly DE vs other anti-diarrheal strategies. A lower rate of grade 3 diarrhea was observed with CONTROL DE vs ExteNET (13.3 vs 39.9%, respectively), as well as a comparable or improved AE profile. The data also reveal greater compliance with N (fewer early discontinuations, longer treatment duration, higher cumulative dose) and reduced impact on QoL with DE, suggesting improved tolerability. Clinical trial information: NCT02400476. [Table: see text]

Abstract
3004 Background: HER2 ( ERBB2) amplification and/or overexpression is observed in 2–3% of solid tumors, and is often associated with more aggressive disease. Thus far, HER2-targeted therapies are FDA-approved only for breast, gastric, and gastroesophageal cancers. MyPathway (NCT02091141) is a non-randomized, phase 2a multi-basket study assessing the activity of FDA-approved targeted therapies in non-indicated advanced solid tumors with relevant molecular alterations. We report results from the MyPathway HER2 basket, comprising a large, tissue-agnostic cohort of patients (pts) with HER2-altered tumors treated with P + H. Methods: Pts in this analysis were aged ≥18 years and had HER2-amplified and/or overexpressed tumors. Pts received P (840-mg IV loading dose, then 420-mg every 3 weeks [q3w]) + H (8-mg/kg IV loading dose, then 6-mg/kg q3w). The primary efficacy endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Other endpoints included disease control rate (DCR, defined by objective response or stable disease >4 mos) and duration of response (DOR). Subgroup analyses were completed by tumor type and KRAS status. Results: Pts were fully enrolled from April 14, 2014 to June 15, 2020. By January 22, 2021, 260 pts were efficacy-evaluable. Confirmed ORR (cORR) was 23.1% (60/260, including 5 complete responses; 95% confidence interval [CI] 18.1–28.7), DCR was 44.2% (115/260, 95% CI 38.1–50.5), and median DOR was 7.9 mos (95% CI 6.2–9.3). In 199 pts with wild-type KRAS tumors, cORR was 25.6% (51/199, 95% CI 19.7–32.3), DCR was 48.7% (97/199, 95% CI 41.6–55.9), and median DOR was 8.3 mos (95% CI 6.2–10.8). In comparison, in 26 pts with KRAS-mutated tumors, cORR was 3.8% (1/26, responder had colorectal cancer; 95% CI 0.1–19.6), DCR was 3.8% (1/26, 95% CI 0.1–19.6), and DOR was 2.7 mos. KRAS status was unknown in 35/260 pts (cORR 22.9% [8/35, 95% CI 10.4–40.1]; median DOR 6.7 mos [95% CI 2.5–12.7]). Clinical outcomes by tumor type are shown in the Table. Conclusions: P+H was active in a wide variety of KRAS wild-type HER2-amplified/overexpressed tumor types, but had limited activity in KRAS-mutated tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT02091141.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) from the NALA phase 3 study. METHODS In NALA (NCT01808573), patients were randomized 1:1 to neratinib + capecitabine (N + C) or lapatinib + capecitabine (L + C). HRQoL was assessed using seven prespecified scores from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality Of Life Questionnaire core module (QLQ-C30) and breast cancer-specific questionnaire (QLQ-BR23) at baseline and every 6 weeks. Descriptive statistics summarized scores over time, mixed models evaluated differences between treatment arms, and Kaplan-Meier methods were used to assess time to deterioration in HRQoL scores of ≥ 10 points. RESULTS Of the 621 patients randomized in NALA, patients were included in the HRQoL analysis if they completed baseline and at least one follow-up questionnaire. The summary, global health status, physical functioning, fatigue, constipation, and systemic therapy side effects scores were stable over time with no persistent differences between treatment groups. There were no differences in time to deterioration (TTD) for the QLQ-C30 summary score between treatment arms; the hazard ratio (HR) for N + C vs. L + C was 0.94 (95% CI 0.63-1.40). Only the diarrhea score worsened significantly more in the N + C arm as compared to the L + C arm, and this remained over time (HR for TTD for N + C vs. L + C was 1.71 [95% CI 1.32-2.23]). CONCLUSION In NALA, patients treated with N + C maintained their global HRQoL over time, despite a worsening of the diarrhea-related scores. These results may help guide optimal treatment selection for HER2-positive MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: HER2 activating mutations occur in 2-5% of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients, and three phase II or basket clinical trials have shown that the irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, neratinib, has good single agent efficacy for HER2 mutated MBC patients. Current trials are combining neratinib with other targeted therapies to increase response rate and progression free survival for these patients. Methods: We established patient derived xenografts (PDX) and organoids from two patients with HER2 mutated, non-amplified MBC and used them to test neratinib with the antibody drug conjugates (ADC’s), trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), both in 3D culture and in vivo. Real time, in vivo uptake of these ADC’s was visualized with a near infrared fluorophore. Results: PDX lines WHIM51 and WHIM64 were established from ER+, HER2 non-amplified MBC patients that had HER2 activating mutations. WHIM51 has HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation at amino acid 776 (ERBB2 A775_G776insYVMA) and WHIM64 has a HER2 L869R missense mutation, both of which are located in the HER2 tyrosine kinase domain. Both of these HER2 mutations have been previously characterized and are known activating mutations. Organoids were established from both PDX’s and were grown in 3D culture. Drug combination testing of neratinib with T-DM1 in 3D culture showed strong synergy and the mechanism was explored. We demonstrate that neratinib and other irreversible HER2 inhibitors increase the endocytic uptake of T-DM1, but this effect does not occur with the reversible HER2 inhibitors, tucatinib and lapatinib. Real time, in vivo uptake of T-DM1 was measured by labeling the ADC with a near infrared fluorophore and we observed statistically significant increase in T-DM1 uptake with neratinib pre-treatment. Combining neratinib with T-DM1 increased apoptosis at day 3 post-treatment and enhanced tumor shrinkage. With the FDA approval of T-DXd at the end of 2019, we hypothesized that this same mechanism may apply to neratinib combined with T-DXd. We have tested both the combinations of neratinib + T-DXd and neratinib + T-DM1 in vivo in both HER2 mutant PDX’s and observed statistically significant tumor regression with the neratinib + ADC combinations as compared to either T-DXd or T-DM1 on its own. Conclusions: Neratinib increases the endocytosis of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), thereby increasing tumor cell kill and causing greater tumor regression in HER2 mutated MBC. These data provide preclinical justification for trials of neratinib plus HER2 ADCs including T-DXd or T-DM1 in HER2 mutant or HER2+ MBC. Further, this mechanism of neratinib stimulated HER2 endocytosis may also apply to HER2 low MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: With advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) and now approved targeted therapy in breast cancer, genomic testing to identify potentially actionable mutations has become a common practice in patients (pts) with advanced breast cancer using both ctDNA and traditional tissue-based assays. Less is known regarding physician practice patterns in obtaining NGS testing and the practical implications of testing in older adults with breast cancer.Methods: Pts with advanced breast cancer underwent molecular profiling using a plasma-based ctDNA NGS assay (Guardant360® or Tempus®) between 5/2015 and 5/2020 at Siteman Cancer Center. Pts with advanced breast cancer who underwent genomic profiling using a tissue-based NGS assay (Tempus®) between 12/2017 and 5/2020 at this institution were also included. Clinicopathological histories were obtained from the medical record. Correlations were examined using a Fisher’s exact test.Results: During 5/15-5/20, 244 pts underwent ctDNA testing and 147 pts had a tissue-based NGS assay performed. There was no significant difference between the number of pts ≥ 65 years-old who underwent ctDNA testing (n=78, 32.0%) and tissue testing (n=37, 25.2%). There was no statistically significant difference between date of metastatic diagnosis and date of NGS testing between the older and younger cohorts. In pts who underwent tissue-based NGS testing, there was no significant difference between site of tissue tested (distant recurrence vs local) in the older and younger cohorts. The most common clinical managements following both ctDNA and tissue-based testing are presented in Table 1. Out of the 391 pts who underwent testing, 27 pts had both ctDNA and tissue-based NGS performed. Pts ≥ 65 were less likely to have both assays performed (n=3, 11.1%; p<0.05). In pts undergoing both assays, there were high concordance rates of ESR1 (81.5%) and PIK3CA (81.5%) mutations. Mean time between tissue and plasma collection for NGS testing in pts undergoing both assays was 356.4 days.
Conclusion: Older adults, who are typically less likely to be included in clinical trials, may still benefit from NGS to reveal potentially targetable mutations. It is reassuring in our cohort that older adults had ctDNA and tissue-based NGS performed at similar rates as part of standard of care treatment. The clinical management following NGS testing was also not significantly different in the older adult cohort. Older adults were less likely to have both tissue and ctDNA testing performed however, given the high concordance rates between tests, this may be less clinically relevant.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The development of central nervous system (CNS) metastases presents a considerable challenge in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) due to the limited availability of evidence-based treatments. Up to 50% of patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) MBC develop CNS metastases during the course of their disease. Neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated activity against CNS metastases in HER2+ MBC in two phase 2 studies (NEfERT-T, TBCRC 022) and one phase 3 study (NALA); significant benefits for predefined CNS endpoints were reported in NEfERT-T and confirmed in NALA. Here we present an exploratory analysis of patients from NALA with CNS involvement at enrollment.
Methods: NALA was an international, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, phase 3 study in patients with HER2+ MBC who had received ≥2 lines of HER2-directed therapy in the metastatic setting (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01808573). Patients with asymptomatic metastatic brain disease managed with stable doses of corticosteroids for ≥14 days prior to randomization were eligible, whereas patients with symptomatic or unstable brain metastases were excluded. Patients were randomized (1:1 ratio) to neratinib (N; 240 mg qd po) + capecitabine (C; 750 mg/m2 bid po) or lapatinib (L; 1250 mg qd po) + C (1000 mg/m2 bid po). Co-primary endpoints were centrally assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Intervention for symptomatic metastatic CNS disease was a secondary endpoint. CNS disease at baseline was defined as patients with treated or untreated disease in the ‘brain’ assessed by investigator at enrollment. CNS imaging was not mandatory at screening.
Results: Of the 621 patients enrolled in NALA, 101 (16%) had documented baseline CNS disease and 520 (74%) had no CNS disease at baseline. Patients with CNS disease had a lower performance status and were more likely to have hormone receptor-negative disease than those with no CNS disease; no major imbalances of baseline characteristics were noted between treatment arms. Overall, 78 (77%) patients had previously received CNS radiation [whole brain, n=59 (58%); stereotactic, n=17 (17%); unknown, n=2 (2%)], and 5 (5%) patients had undergone CNS surgery. Median treatment duration was 5.7 (IQR 2.8-8.5) months for N, and 3.5 (IQR 2.1-6.9) months for L. PFS, OS, and cumulative incidence of interventions for symptomatic CNS disease are summarized in the table. No new safety signals were detected.
Conclusions: Regardless of the status of CNS metastases at baseline, patients appeared to have better outcomes in the N+C arm compared with the L+C arm.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The FDA approved neratinib (N), an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with capecitabine (C) for patients with HER2+ advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have received ≥2 prior HER2-directed regimens in the metastatic setting based on the NALA clinical study, where N+C significantly improved PFS vs. lapatinib (L)+C. Characterizing HRQoL associated with this regimen can help inform treatment decision-making for these patients. The objective of this analysis was to characterize HRQoL among patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer from the NALA clinical study.
Methods: NALA was a multinational, randomized, open-label, phase III clinical study of N+C vs. L+C in patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer and ≥2 prior HER2-directed regimens. From May 2013 to July 2017, patients were randomized 1:1 to N (240 mg qd) + C (750 mg/m2 bid 14d/21d) with loperamide prophylaxis during the first cycle, or to L (1250 mg qd) + C (1000 mg/m2 bid 14d/21d). HRQoL, a prespecified secondary endpoint of the NALA study, was measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the breast cancer-specific QLQ-BR23 at baseline and every 6 weeks (±3 days) until the end of treatment (data collection through treatment cycle 19, 12.5 months). The QLQ-C30 summary and global health status scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) and the systemic therapy side-effects scores range from 0 (best) to 100 (worst). Patients were included in the analysis for a particular scale if they had a baseline assessment and at least 1 follow-up assessment. For these analyses, a change of ≥10 points was considered to be clinically meaningful. Descriptive statistics summarized observed scores and changes from baseline, Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used for time-to-deterioration (TTD) of ≥10 points and mixed models estimated the change over time for 7 prespecified scales: QLQ-C30 summary score, global health status, physical functioning, fatigue, constipation and diarrhea, and the EORTC QLQ-BR23 systemic therapy side effects subscale. No adjustments for multiplicity were performed.
Results: 621 patients from 28 countries were randomized (307 N+C; 314 L+C). The mean completion rate of the QLQ-C30 over the course of the study was 91% for both treatment arms. Discontinuation due to any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was lower in the N+C vs. L+C arm (14% vs. 18%). At baseline, the mean (SD) QLQ-C30 summary scores were 79.8 (14.1) for N+C and 79.9 (15.7) for L+C. After 19 treatment cycles, the mean (SD) QLQ-C30 summary scores were similar to baseline scores: 81.8 (16.7) for N+C and 81.3 (15.3) for L+C. There were no differences in TTD of ≥10 points for the QLQ-C30 summary score between treatment arms; the HR for N+C vs. L+C was 0.94 (95% CI 0.63-1.40). All prespecified HRQoL subscales had similar statistically non-significant results for TTD with the exception of diarrhea (HR=1.71; 95% CI 1.32-2.23). The mixed models analyzing change in HRQoL from baseline did not demonstrate persistent declines nor meaningful differences between the treatment arms.
Conclusion: In these results from the NALA study, among patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer, at study end and throughout most of the study, there were no differences observed between the two treatment arms in HRQoL scores. HRQoL was sustained over the study period despite the early transient presence of diarrhea in some patients. Discontinuation due to any TEAE was lower in the N+C vs. the L+C arm. These results may help guide healthcare providers, patients and carers in selection of optimal treatment for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Neratinib (NERLYNX®), an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is used for the extended adjuvant treatment of patients with early-stage HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy and for patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer in the 3rd-line setting. Diarrhea, particularly in the first 1-2 months, is the main tolerability concern with neratinib and is common in the absence of proactive management. In the ExteNET trial, where no mandatory prophylaxis was used, the rate of grade 3 diarrhea was 40%, 34% of patients experienced at least 1 dose hold, and 17% of patients discontinued due to diarrhea. The CONTROL trial previously showed that pre-emptive antidiarrheal prophylaxis (loperamide alone or in combination with budesonide or colestipol) or dose escalation (DE) reduced the rate, severity, and duration of neratinib-associated grade ≥3 diarrhea compared with ExteNET. Currently, antidiarrheal prophylaxis is initiated with the first dose of neratinib and used during the first 2 cycles of treatment (US PI). Updated findings from two DE cohorts in CONTROL are reported.
Methods: CONTROL is an international, multi-cohort, open-label, phase 2 study. Patients ≥18 years with stage I-IIIc HER2+ breast cancer were treated with neratinib (240 mg/day for 1 year) after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy. Patients were enrolled sequentially into separate cohorts including 2 dose-escalation cohorts: DE1 (neratinib 120 mg/day on days 1-7, 160 mg/day on days 8-14, then 240 mg/day to day 365) + loperamide as needed (PRN); and DE2 (neratinib 160 mg/day on days 1-14, 200 mg/day on days 15-28, then 240 mg/day to day 365) + loperamide PRN. Adverse events were graded per NCI-CTCAE v4.0. Primary endpoint: incidence of grade ≥3 diarrhea. Data cut-off: May 1, 2020.
Results: Complete data for DE1 (60 patients) and interim data for the ongoing DE2 (60 patients) are presented. All patients in DE1 were off study and 40 (66.7%) of patients remained on treatment in the ongoing DE2. The median treatment duration for DE1 was 12.0 months (IQR 11.1-12.0) and for DE2 was 3.7 months (IQR 1.6-9.1). Overall, 48% and 57% of DE1 and DE2 patients, respectively, had prior pertuzumab; 0% and 3%, respectively, had prior T-DM1. The majority of patients in both DE1 and DE2 dose-escalated to 240 mg on planned schedule. The incidence of grade ≥3 diarrhea was 13.3% in DE1 and 20.0% in DE2. The median cumulative duration of grade ≥3 diarrhea over the entire 12-month treatment period was 3 days (range 1-6 days) for DE1 and 2 days (range 1-7 days) for DE2. In both DE1 and DE2, 7 patients (11.7%) had at least one dose hold while on study (none during escalation phase in DE1 and 4 during escalation phase in DE2). In both DE1 and DE2, 2 (3.3%) patients discontinued neratinib because of diarrhea (1 during escalation phase in each cohort). Updated data for the DE2 cohort will be presented.
Conclusions: Adoption of neratinib DE reduced the incidence, severity, and duration of neratinib-associated diarrhea in CONTROL compared with ExteNET. DE1 was associated with low rates of dose holds and diarrhea-related discontinuations compared with all previously mandated prophylaxis strategies investigated in CONTROL and with ExteNET. Together these results show improved tolerability of neratinib with DE and suggest that DE combined with loperamide PRN may allow patients to stay on neratinib for the recommended period of time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project has identified HER2 mutations or amplification in 7% of colon cancers. In addition to HER2 mutations, colon cancer patients also possess co-occurring mutations in genes such as APC. Here, we investigated the role of HER2 and APC mutations on the crypt-villus architecture of the intestinal epithelium, localization of secretory cells, and expression of intestinal stem cell markers. METHODS We generated a HER2 transgenic mouse (HER2V777L Tg) possessing an activating mutation commonly found in colorectal cancer patients, HER2V777L, using transcription activator-like effector nucleases-based gene editing technology. We expressed the HER2V777L transgene in mouse small intestine and colon using Lgr5-Cre and Villin-Cre recombinases. In addition, we analyzed Lgr5-Cre; APCmin; HER2V777L Tg mice by morphologic and gene expression assays on intestinal sections and organoids derived from the epithelium. RESULTS HER2V777L expression resulted in hypertrophic crypt formation with expanded zones of proliferation. Proximal intestinal villi showed increased abundance of multiple differentiated lineages including extensive intermediate cell differentiation, as evidenced by MUC2/MMP7 co-immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. HER2V777L expression in the context of APC loss resulted in further enhancement and expansion of the proliferative crypt compartment. CONCLUSIONS We established an epithelial intrinsic role for HER2V777L on enhanced cellular proliferation. Additionally, we determined that HER2 and APC mutations, when combined, promote enhanced proliferation of intestinal crypts.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor tyrosine kinase, regulates basic cellular functions and is a major target for anticancer therapeutics. The carboxyl-terminus domain is a disordered region of EGFR that contains the tyrosine residues, which undergo autophosphorylation followed by docking of signaling proteins. Local phosphorylation-dependent secondary structure has been identified and is thought to be associated with the signaling cascade. Deciphering and distinguishing the overall conformations, however, have been challenging because of the disordered nature of the carboxyl-terminus domain and resultant lack of well-defined three-dimensional structure for most of the domain. We investigated the overall conformational states of the isolated EGFR carboxyl-terminus domain using single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer and coarse-grained simulations. Our results suggest that electrostatic interactions between charged residues emerge within the disordered domain upon phosphorylation, producing a looplike conformation. This conformation may enable binding of downstream signaling proteins and potentially reflect a general mechanism in which electrostatics transiently generate functional architectures in disordered regions of a well-folded protein.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known regarding the mutation profiles of ctDNA in the older adult breast cancer population. The objective of this study is to assess differences in mutation profiles in the older adult breast cancer population using a ctDNA assay as well as assess utilization of testing results. METHODS Patients with advanced breast cancer underwent molecular profiling using a plasma-based ctDNA NGS assay (Guardant360) between 5/2015 and 10/2019 at Siteman Cancer Center. The profiling results of a multi-institutional database of patients with advanced breast cancer who had undergone molecular profiling were obtained. Associations between mutations and age group (≥ 65 vs. < 65) were examined using a Fisher's exact test. RESULTS In the single-institutional cohort, 148 patients (69.2%) were < 65 years old and 66 patients (30.8%) ≥ 65 years old. ATM, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutations were found more frequently in older patients with ER + HER2- breast cancers (p < 0.01). In the multi-institutional cohort, 5367 (61.1%) were < 65 years old and 3417 (38.9%) ≥ 65 years old. ATM, PIK3CA, and TP53 mutations were more common in the older cohort (p < 0.0001) and MYC and GATA3 mutations were less common in the older cohort (p < 0.0001). CtDNA testing influenced next-line treatment management in 40 (19.8%) patients in the single-institutional cohort. CONCLUSION When controlling for subtype, results from a single institution were similar to the multi-institutional cohort showing that ATM and PIK3CA were more common in older adults. These data suggest there may be additional molecular differences in older adults with advanced breast cancers.

Abstract
PURPOSE The yield of comprehensive genomic profiling in recruiting patients to molecular-based trials designed for small subgroups has not been fully evaluated. We evaluated the likelihood of enrollment in a clinical trial that required the identification of a specific genomic change based on our institute-wide genomic tumor profiling. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using genomic profiling from archived tissue samples derived from patients with metastatic breast cancer treated between 2011 and 2017, we assessed the impact of systematic genomic characterization on enrollment in an ongoing phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01670877). Our primary aim was to describe the proportion of patients with a qualifying ERBB2 mutation identified by our institutional genomic panel (OncoMap or OncoPanel) who enrolled in the trial. Secondary objectives included median time from testing result to trial registration, description of the spectrum of ERBB2 mutations, and survival. Associations were calculated using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS We identified a total of 1,045 patients with metastatic breast cancer without ERBB2 amplification who had available genomic testing results. Of these, 42 patients were found to have ERBB2 mutation and 19 patients (1.8%) were eligible for the trial on the basis of the presence of an activating mutation, 18 of which were identified by OncoPanel testing. Fifty-eight percent of potentially eligible patients were approached, and 33.3% of eligible patients enrolled in the trial guided exclusively by OncoPanel testing. CONCLUSION More than one half of eligible patients were approached for trial participation and, significantly, one third of those were enrolled in NCT01670877. Our data illustrate the ability to enroll patients in trials of rare subsets in routine clinical practice and highlight the need for these broadly based approaches to effectively support the success of these studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neratinib is an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for extended adjuvant treatment in early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer based on the phase III ExteNET study. In that trial, in which no antidiarrheal prophylaxis was mandated, grade 3 diarrhea was observed in 40% of patients and 17% discontinued due to diarrhea. The international, open-label, sequential-cohort, phase II CONTROL study is investigating several strategies to improve tolerability. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who completed trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy received neratinib 240 mg/day for 1 year plus loperamide prophylaxis (days 1-28 or 1-56). Sequential cohorts evaluated additional budesonide or colestipol prophylaxis (days 1-28) and neratinib dose escalation (DE; ongoing). The primary end point was the incidence of grade ≥3 diarrhea. RESULTS Final data for loperamide (L; n = 137), budesonide + loperamide (BL; n = 64), colestipol + loperamide (CL; n = 136), and colestipol + as-needed loperamide (CL-PRN; n = 104) cohorts, and interim data for DE (n = 60; completed ≥six cycles or discontinued; median duration 11 months) are available. No grade 4 diarrhea was observed. Grade 3 diarrhea rates were lower than ExteNET in all cohorts and lowest in DE (L 31%, BL 28%, CL 21%, CL-PRN 32%, DE 15%). Median number of grade 3 diarrhea episodes was one; median duration per grade 3 episode was 1.0-2.0 days across cohorts. Most grade 3 diarrhea and diarrhea-related discontinuations occurred in month 1. Diarrhea-related discontinuations were lowest in DE (L 20%, BL 8%, CL 4%, CL-PRN 8%, DE 3%). Decreases in health-related quality of life did not cross the clinically important threshold. CONCLUSIONS Neratinib tolerability was improved with preemptive prophylaxis or DE, which reduced the rate, severity, and duration of neratinib-associated grade ≥3 diarrhea compared with ExteNET. Lower diarrhea-related treatment discontinuations in multiple cohorts indicate that proactive management can allow patients to stay on neratinib for the recommended time period.

Abstract
1089 Background: Although the noninvasive nature of ctDNA testing is attractive in an older adult population, less is known regarding the mutation profiles of ctDNA in the older adult breast cancer population as this population is often excluded from studies. Previous tissue testing has shown differences in mutation profiles between older and younger adults with breast cancer. The objective of this study is to assess differences in mutation profiles in the older and younger adult breast cancer population using a ctDNA assay. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced breast cancer underwent molecular profiling using a plasma-based ctDNA NGS assay (Guardant360) between 5/2015-10/2019 at Siteman Cancer Center. Clinicopathological histories were obtained from the medical record. The results of a multicenter database of pts with advanced breast cancer who had undergone molecular profiling using Guardant360 were obtained. Associations between mutations and age were measured using a Fisher’s exact test. Results: In the single institution cohort, of the 214 patients who underwent testing, 148 (69.16%) were < 65 and 66 (30.84%) ≥ 65 years-old. The most frequently mutated genes in age < 65 pts were TP53 (48.65%), PIK3CA (35.81%), and ESR1 (30.41%) while the most frequently mutated genes in age≥65 pts were PIK3CA (56.06%), TP53 (51.52%), ESR1 (25.76%), and ATM (21.21%). ATM, BRAF and PIK3CA mutations were found more frequently in age≥ 65 pts with ER+ HER2- breast tumors (p < 0.01). MYC and ESR1 mutations were not significantly associated with age, overall or within subtype. Overall ctDNA resulted in change in management in 19.8% pts (40/202). In the larger multicenter cohort, of the 8803 pts who underwent testing, 5367 (61.0%) were < 65 and 3417 (38.8%) ≥ 65 years-old. ATM, ESR1 and PIK3CA mutations were more common in age≥65 pts (p < 0.0001) and MYC mutations were less common in age≥65 pts (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: This study found that ctDNA is a feasible, attractive alternative to traditional biopsies and may identify actionable mutations in older adults with breast cancer. When controlling for subtype, results from a single institution were similar to the larger multicenter cohort showing ATM and PIK3CA were more common in the older adult population. This data suggests there may be additional molecular differences between breast cancer in older compared to younger adults that warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic therapy options for salivary cancers are limited. MyPathway (NCT02091141), a phase IIa study, evaluates targeted therapies in non-indicated tumor types with actionable molecular alterations. Here, we present the efficacy and safety results for a subgroup of MyPathway patients with advanced salivary gland cancer (SGC) matched to targeted therapies based on tumor molecular characteristics. PATIENTS AND METHODS MyPathway is an ongoing, multiple basket, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center study. Patients with advanced SGC received pertuzumab + trastuzumab (HER2 alteration), vismodegib (PTCH-1/SMO mutation), vemurafenib (BRAF V600 mutation), or atezolizumab [high tumor mutational burden (TMB)]. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS As of January 15, 2018, 19 patients with SGC were enrolled and treated in MyPathway (15 with HER2 amplification and/or overexpression and one each with a HER2 mutation without amplification or overexpression, PTCH-1 mutation, BRAF mutation, and high TMB). In the 15 patients with HER2 amplification/overexpression (with or without mutations) who were treated with pertuzumab + trastuzumab, 9 had an objective response (1 complete response, 8 partial responses) for an ORR of 60% (9.2 months median response duration). The clinical benefit rate (defined by patients with objective responses or stable disease >4 months) was 67% (10/15), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.6 months, and median overall survival was 20.4 months. Stable disease was observed in the patient with a HER2 mutation (pertuzumab + trastuzumab, n = 1/1, PFS 11.0 months), and partial responses in patients with the PTCH-1 mutation (vismodegib, n = 1/1, PFS 14.3 months), BRAF mutation (vemurafenib, n = 1/1, PFS 18.5 months), and high TMB (atezolizumab, n = 1/1, PFS 5.5+ months). No unexpected toxicity occurred. CONCLUSIONS Overall, 12 of 19 patients (63%) with advanced SGC, treated with chemotherapy-free regimens matched to specific molecular alterations, experienced an objective response. Data from MyPathway suggest that matched targeted therapy for SGC has promising efficacy, supporting molecular profiling in treatment determination.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: The ATEMPT trial sought to determine if adjuvant T-DM1 (every 3 wks for 1 yr) for Stage I HER2 positive breast cancer is better tolerated than TH (paclitaxel weekly x 12 wks with 1 yr of trastuzumab). Here we compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including quality of life (QOL), specific symptoms, and work productivity between the two treatments over time. Patients and Methods: English-speaking patients were randomized (3:1) to T-DM1 or TH, and completed PRO assessments at baseline (day 1), 3 wks, 12 wks, and 6, 12, and 18 mos after initiation of treatment. Surveys included the FACT-B, Patient-Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ), Rotterdam Symptom Checklist (RSCL), Alopecia Patient Assessment, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Specific Health Problem (WPAI:SHP). Results: 469/497 (94%) patients (363 on T-DM1, 106 on TH) completed surveys at any timepoint, ranging from 100% at baseline to 79% at 18 mos. Median age was 56 yrs (range 23-85). There were different patterns of deterioration and recovery seen over time in each group for QOL and other relevant symptoms. Compared with the T-DM1 group, the TH group had significantly lower mean total FACT-B scores, indicating poorer QOL from baseline to 12 weeks (p<0.001 for each timepoint); mean scores were similar between the groups at 6 and 12 mos, and significantly worse again in the TH group at 18 mos. The greatest mean change from baseline, and lowest FACT-B scores overall were reported in the TH group at 12 weeks. Moderate to severe sensory neuropathy was 8% at 12 weeks for patients receiving T-DM1 and reached its highest level of 15% by 18 mos. In comparison, moderate to severe sensory neuropathy was 35% at 12 weeks and 26% at 18 mos for patients on TH (p<0.001 at 12 weeks and p=0.018 at 18 mos). Hair loss at week 12 was 13% on T-DM1 compared to 77% on TH (p<0.001). Mean physical symptom distress was greater for TH at baseline, 3 and 12 weeks, and greater for T-DM1 at 1 year, with greatest symptom distress reported by the TH group at 12 weeks. Psychological distress was greatest for both groups at enrollment, though significantly greater with TH than T-DM1 at baseline, 12 weeks and 18 mos (groups were similar at 6 and 12 mos). There was limited impact on activity level impairment in both groups. Rates of employment were lowest for the TH group at 12 weeks (49% TH vs. 61% T-DM1, p=0.074) with significant differences seen at 3 and 12 weeks for percent work time missed due to health treatment, percent impairment while working, percent overall work impairment, and percent activity impairment, all favoring T-DM1. Conclusion: PROs differ between patients with Stage I HER2 positive breast cancer treated with T-DM1 vs. TH. T-DM1 treated patients had better QOL, less neuropathy and hair loss, and better work productivity, particularly during the first 12 weeks of treatment, and importantly, differences persist with longer-term follow-up.

Abstract
Abstract
HER2 activating mutations are a novel, druggable genomic alteration in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). These HER2 mutations are predominantly found in HER2 gene amplification negative, hormone receptor positive breast cancers. We have previously demonstrated that HER2 mutations can be potently inhibited by the second generation, irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, neratinib (Bose et al., Cancer Discovery 2013). Further, we performed a phase II clinical trial to treat HER2 mutated MBC and we found that neratinib monotherapy produced a clinical benefit rate of 31% and progression free survival (PFS) of 16 weeks in a heavily pre-treated patient population (Ma et al., Clin. Can. Res. 2017). A second clinical trial, the SUMMIT trial (Hyman et al., Nature 2018), similarly showed a response rate of 32% and median PFS of 3.5 months for neratinib monotherapy for HER2 mutated, metastatic breast cancer. The objective of the current study is to explore novel combination strategies to improve the efficacy of neratinib in HER2 mutated breast cancer. In order to accelerate progress on testing multiple drug combinations, we developed organoids from two patient-derived xenografts (PDX’s) of HER2 mutated, ER positive metastatic breast cancer from our institution. We found that the ex vivoculture of these patient-derived organoids provides a platform to rapidly perform drug screens and drug combination testing on a scale that cannot be matched by other existing experimental platforms for patient-derived samples. The drug sensitivity of these organoids cultured ex vivo recapitulates the data previously obtained with transfected cell lines and in vivo experiments using PDX’s. Further, multiple drug combinations can be tested on these organoids in just two weeks, which is much shorter than the four to six months required for the corresponding slow-growing ER positive, breast cancer PDX’s that they are derived from. Strong, single agent activity was seen with neratinib, the HER2 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), and the chemotherapy drug vinorelbine. Therefore, we tested combinations of neratinib plus the HER2 ADC and neratinib plus vinorelbine on these patient derived organoids. Neratinib plus HER2 ADC showed a strong drug synergy in both HER2 mutated organoids, as judged by the Loewe model of drug synergy. Prior publications suggest that the mechanism of action of neratinib in this combination is by increasing HER2 ubiquitylation and endocytic degradation, which will increase the uptake of the ADC that binds to HER2. We are now performing 384 well drug screens with these HER2 mutated, ER positive metastatic breast cancer organoids, and the results of the screens will be shown in our presentation.

Abstract
TPS1114 Background: mTNBC is associated with poor outcomes and lacks targeted therapies. Immune modulation with PD-1/L1 inhibitors are emerging as effective anticancer therapies. In mTNBC, atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) plus nab-paclitaxel demonstrated an improvement in PFS compared to nab-paclitaxel alone. Cancer vaccines targeting neoantigens may enhance the activity of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Neoantigens are targets for CD8 T-cells following ICI. T-cell responses to neoantigens are high in affinity and are not limited by central mechanisms of self-tolerance. Next-generation sequencing and epitope prediction algorithms are used to identify/prioritize neoantigens for vaccine design and development. Preclinical studies have shown that neoantigen vaccines are well tolerated and may be synergistic with anti-PD-1/L1 therapy. Methods: Eligible mTNBC patients are randomized to either Arm-1 ( nab-paclitaxel + durvalumab + neoantigen vaccine) or Arm-2 ( nab-paclitaxel + durvalumab). Initially, all participants are treated with a run-in of gemcitabine + carboplatin (18-weeks; Part A). During this time sequencing and neoantigen vaccine production is performed. Subsequently, patients are treated with nab-paclitaxel + durvalumab + neoantigen vaccine vs. nab-paclitaxel + durvalumab (Part B). The neoantigen vaccine is given subcutaneously. Participants in Arm-1 receive vaccinations on Days 1, 4, 8, 15, 22, 50 and 78. Durvalumab is administered at 1500 mg IV every 4 weeks. Nab-paclitaxel is administered at 100 mg/m2 IV on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Key eligibility criteria include patients with newly diagnosed mTNBC; measurable disease; and tumor accessible for biopsy. The primary endpoint is PFS defined as time from the initiation of Part B to progression or death. Secondary endpoints include safety, objective response rate, clinical benefit rate and OS. The exploratory endpoints include evaluating the immune response induced by the neoantigen vaccine, investigating biomarkers of response including TILs, PD-L1, and immune signature by gene expression, and mutational landscape. This trial is currently recruiting patients (NCT03606967).

Abstract
548 Background: CONTROL (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02400476) is an open-label, sequential-cohort, phase II study investigating the effectiveness of prophylaxis or dose escalation in preventing diarrhea and improving tolerability of neratinib, an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Neratinib has demonstrated benefit as an extended adjuvant therapy for early-stage HER2+ breast cancer. Various prophylactic agents are being studied in adult patients treated with oral neratinib (240 mg/day for 1 year) after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy. Methods: Patients (n = 485) were enrolled into cohorts investigating antidiarrheal prophylaxis for 1–2 cycles (28 days) with the following agents: loperamide (n = 137); loperamide + budesonide (n = 64); loperamide + colestipol (n = 136); loperamide prn + colestipol (n = 104). An additional cohort assessing loperamide prn + neratinib dose escalation with no mandatory prophylaxis (n = 44) is ongoing. Adverse events were graded according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade ≥3 diarrhea. Data cut-off: 14 Jan 2019. Results: As shown in the table, all prophylactic regimens reduce the incidence of Grade 3 diarrhea and drug discontinuation compared with the prior ExteNET trial [Martin et al. 2017]. The median cumulative duration of Grade 3 or higher diarrhea spanned from 2.0 to 3.5 days across regimens for the entire treatment period. No Grade 4 diarrhea was reported. Conclusions: The addition of budesonide or colestipol to loperamide prophylaxis given for 1–2 cycles reduces the severity and duration of diarrhea in patients treated with neratinib, thereby improving tolerability. Updated data for the dose-escalation cohort will be presented at the meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT02400476. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapies targeting HER2 have improved clinical outcomes in HER2-positive breast and gastric cancers, and are emerging as potential treatments for HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer. MyPathway evaluates the activity of targeted therapies in non-indicated tumour types with potentially predictive molecular alterations. We aimed to assess the activity of pertuzumab and trastuzumab in patients with HER2-amplified metastatic colorectal cancer. METHODS MyPathway is an ongoing, phase 2a, multiple basket study. Patients in this subset analysis were aged 18 years or older and had treatment-refractory, histologically confirmed HER2-amplified metastatic colorectal cancer with measurable or evaluable disease and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 2 or less, enrolled from 25 hospitals or clinics in 16 states of the USA. Patients received pertuzumab (840 mg loading dose, then 420 mg every 3 weeks, intravenously) and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks, intravenously). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved an objective response based on investigator-reported tumour responses. Analyses were done per protocol. This ongoing trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02091141. FINDINGS Between Oct 20, 2014, and June 22, 2017, 57 patients with HER2-amplified metastatic colorectal cancer were enrolled in the MyPathway study and deemed eligible for inclusionin this cohort analysis. Among these 57 evaluable patients, as of Aug 1, 2017, one (2%) patient had a complete response and 17 (30%) had partial responses; thus overall 18 of 57 patients achieved an objective response (32%, 95% CI 20-45). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were diarrhoea (19 [33%] of 57 patients), fatigue (18 [32%] patients), and nausea (17 [30%] patients). Grade 3-4 treatment-emergent adverse events were recorded in 21 (37%) of 57 patients, most commonly hypokalaemia and abdominal pain (each three [5%] patients). Serious treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in ten (18%) patients and two (4%) of these adverse events (ie, chills and infusion-related reaction) were considered treatment related. There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION Dual HER2-targeted therapy with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab is well tolerated and could represent a therapeutic opportunity for patients with heavily pretreated, HER2-amplified metastatic colorectal cancer.
