Abstract
BACKGROUND Our goal was to develop a 3D tumor slice model, replicating the individual tumor microenvironment and for individual pharmaceutical testing in vestibular schwannomas with and without relation to NF2. METHODS Tissue samples from 16 VS patients (14 sporadic, 2 NF2-related) were prospectively analyzed. Slices of 350 µm thickness were cultured in vitro, and the 3D tumor slice model underwent thorough evaluation for culturing time, microenvironment characteristics, morphology, apoptosis, and proliferation rates. Common drugs - Lapatinib (10 µM), Nilotinib (20 µM), and Bevacizumab (10 µg/ml) - known for their responses in VS were used for treatment. Treatment responses were assessed using CC3 as an apoptosis marker and Ki67 as a proliferation marker. Standard 2D cell culture models of the same tumors served as controls. RESULTS The 3D tumor slice model accurately mimicked VS ex vivo, maintaining stability for three months. Cell count within the model was approximately tenfold higher than in standard cell culture, and the tumor microenvironment remained stable for 46 days. Pharmacological testing was feasible for up to three weeks, revealing interindividual differences in treatment response to Lapatinib and intraindividual variability in response to Lapatinib and Nilotinib. The observed effects were less pronounced in tumor slices than in standard cell culture, indicating the model's proximity to in vivo tumor biology and enhanced realism. Bevacizumab had limited impact in both models. CONCLUSION This study introduces a 3D tumor slice model for sporadic and NF2-related VS, demonstrating stability for up to 3 months, replication of the schwannoma microenvironment, and utility for individualized pharmacological testing.

Abstract
Interindividual exposure differences have been identified in oral targeted antineoplastic drugs (OADs) owing to the pharmacogenetic background of the patients and their susceptibility to multiple factors, resulting in insufficient efficacy or adverse effects. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can prevent sub-optimal concentrations of OADs and improve their clinical treatment. This study aimed to develop and validate an LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of 11 OADs (gefitinib, imatinib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, everolimus, osimertinib, sunitinib, tamoxifen, lapatinib, fruquintinib and sorafenib) and 2 active metabolites (N-desethyl sunitinib and Z-endoxifen) in human plasma. Protein precipitation was used to extract OADs from the plasma samples. Chromatographic separation was performed using an Eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm) column with a gradient elution of the mobile phase composed of 2 mM ammonium acetate with 0.1 % formic acid in water (solvent A) and methanol (solvent B) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Mass analysis was performed using positive ion mode electrospray ionization in multiple-reaction monitoring mode. The developed method was validated following FDA bioanalytical guidelines. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 2-400 ng/mL for gefitinib, imatinib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and everolimus; 1-200 ng/mL for osimertinib, sunitinib, N-desethyl sunitinib, tamoxifen, and Z-endoxifen; and 5-1000 ng/mL for lapatinib, fruquintinib, and sorafenib, with all coefficients of correlation above 0.99. The intra- and inter-day imprecision was below 12.81 %. This method was successfully applied to the routine TDM of gefitinib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, osimertinib, fruquintinib, and sorafenib to optimize the dosage regimens.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lapatinib plus whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) was hypothesized to improve the 12-week intracranial complete response (CR) rate compared with either option of radiation therapy (RT) alone for patients with brain metastases (BM) from human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS This study included patients with HER2+ breast cancer with ≥1 measurable, unirradiated BM. Patients were randomized to WBRT (37.5 Gy/3 wk)/SRS (size-based dosing) ± concurrent lapatinib (1000 mg daily for 6 weeks). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), lesion-specific response, central nervous system progression-free survival, and overall survival. RESULTS From July 2012 to September 2019, 143 patients were randomized, with 116 analyzable for the primary endpoint. RT + lapatinib did not improve 12-week CR (0% vs 6% for RT alone, 1-sided P = .97), or ORR at 12 weeks. At 4 weeks, RT + lapatinib showed higher ORR (55% vs 42%). Higher graded prognostic assessment and ≤10 lesions were associated with higher 12-week ORR. Grade 3 and 4 adverse event rates were 8% and 0% for RT and 28% and 6% for RT + lapatinib. CONCLUSIONS The addition of 6 weeks of concomitant lapatinib to WBRT/SRS did not improve the primary endpoint of 12-week CR rate or 12-week ORR. Adding lapatinib to WBRT/SRS showed improvement of 4-week ORR, suggesting a short-term benefit from concomitant therapy.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) is one of the principal causes of death related to cancer globally. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a tyrosine kinase receptor which is found to be overexpressed or amplified in approximately 20% of GEA cases. In GEA, the identification of HER2-positive status is crucial to activate a specific anti-HER2 targeted therapy. The landmark ToGA trial demonstrated the superiority of adding trastuzumab to platinum-based chemotherapy, becoming the first-line standard of treatment. However, unlike breast cancer, the efficacy of other anti-HER2 drugs, such as lapatinib, pertuzumab, and T-DM1, has failed to improve outcomes in advanced and locally advanced resectable GEA. Recently, the combination of trastuzumab with pembrolizumab, along with chemotherapy, and the development of trastuzumab deruxtecan, with its specific bystander activity, demonstrated improved outcomes, renewing attention in the treatment of this disease. This review will summarise historical and emerging therapies for the treatment of HER2-positive GEA, with a section dedicated to the HER2 molecular pathway and the use of novel blood biomarkers, such as circulating tumour DNA and circulating tumour cells, which may be helpful in the future to guide treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer-related leptomeningeal disease (BC-LMD) is a dire diagnosis for 5-8% of patients with breast cancer (BC). We conducted a retrospective review of BC-LMD patients diagnosed at Moffitt Cancer Center from 2011 to 2020, to determine the changing incidence of BC-LMD, factors which are associated with the progression of BC CNS metastasis to BC-LMD, and factors which are associated with OS for patients with BC-LMD. METHODS Patients with BC and brain/spinal metastatic disease were identified. For those who eventually developed BC-LMD, we used Kaplan-Meier survival curve, log-rank test, univariable, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model to identify factors affecting time from CNS metastasis to BC-LMD and OS. RESULTS 128 cases of BC-LMD were identified. The proportion of BC-LMD to total BC patients was higher between 2016 and 2020 when compared to 2011-2015. Patients with HR+ or HER2 + BC experienced longer times between CNS metastasis and LMD than patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Systemic therapy and whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) was associated with prolonged progression to LMD in all patients. Hormone therapy in patients with HR + BC were associated with a delayed BC-CNS metastasis to LMD progression. Lapatinib treatment was associated with a delayed progression to LMD in patients with HER2 + BC. Patients with TNBC-LMD had shorter OS compared to those with HR + and HER2 + BC-LMD. Systemic therapy, intrathecal (IT) therapy, and WBRT was associated with prolonged survival for all patients. Lapatinib and trastuzumab therapy was associated with improved OS in patients with HER2 + BC-LMD. CONCLUSIONS Increasing rates of BC-LMD provide treatment challenges and opportunities for clinical trials. Prospective trials testing lapatinib and/or similar tyrosine kinase inhibitors, IT therapies, and combination treatments are urgently needed.

Abstract
Lapatinib is an orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -overexpressing breast cancers in humans. Recently, the potential of lapatinib treatment against canine urothelial carcinoma or feline mammary tumor was investigated. However, the pharmacokinetic studies of lapatinib in dogs and cats are not well-defined. In the present study, the pharmacokinetic characteristics of lapatinib in both cats and dogs after a single oral administration at a dose of 25 mg/kg were compared with each other. Lapatinib was administered orally to four female laboratory cats and four female beagle dogs. Blood samples were collected over time, and the plasma lapatinib concentrations were analyzed by HPLC. Following a single dose of 25 mg/kg, the averaged maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of lapatinib in cats was 0.47 μg/mL and achieved at 7.1 hr post-administration, while the Cmax in dogs was 1.63 μg/mL and achieved at 9.5 hr post-administration. The mean elimination half-life was 6.5 hr in cats and 7.8 hr in dogs. The average area under the plasma concentration-time curve of dogs (37.2 hr·μg/mL) was significantly higher than that of cats (7.97 hr·μg/mL). These results exhibited slow absorptions of lapatinib in both animals after oral administration. The Cmax observed in cats was significantly lower and the half-life was shorter than those observed in dogs. Based on these results, a larger dose or shorter dosing intervals might be recommended in cats to achieve similar plasma concentration as dogs.

Abstract
A series of novel N-aryl-5-aryl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-4-amines 4a-4l was synthesized as potential anticancer agents through Dimroth rearrangement reaction of intermediates 3a-3c. Pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines 4a-4l showed promising activity against the Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cell line, compared with lapatinib as the reference drug. Compounds 4d, 4h, 4i, and 4l demonstrated higher cytotoxic activity than lapatinib, with IC50 values of 2.67, 6.82, 4.31, and 1.62 µM, respectively. Compounds 4d, 4i, and 4l showed promising epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition with IC50 values of 0.065, 0.116, and 0.052 µM, respectively. These compounds were subjected to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibition and showed IC50 values of 0.09, 0.164, and 0.055 µM, respectively. Compounds 4d, 4i, and 4l are good candidates as dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors. The most active compound, 4l, was subjected to cell-cycle analysis and induced cell-cycle arrest at the S phase. Compound 4l induced apoptosis 60-fold compared with control untreated MCF-7 cells. 4l can inhibit cancer metastasis. It reduced MCF-7 cell infiltration and metastasis by 45% compared with control untreated cells.

Abstract
Combination chemotherapy, involving the intervention of two or more anti-neoplastic agents has been the cornerstone in breast cancer treatment, owing to the applications it holds in contrast to the mono-therapy approach. This research predominantly focussed on proving the synergy between Lapatinib (LPT) and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and further enhancing its localized permeation via transfersome-loaded delivery and iontophoresis to treat breast tumors. The IC50 values for LPT and 5-FU were found to be 19.38 µg/ml and 5.7 µg/ml respectively and their synergistic effect was proven by the Chou-Talalay assay using CompuSyn software. Furthermore, LPT and 5-FU were encapsulated within transfersomes and administered via the transpapillary route. The drug-loaded carriers were characterized for their particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. The ex vivo rat skin permeation studies indicated that when compared to LPT dispersion and 5-FU solution, drug-loaded transfersomes exhibited better permeability and their transpapillary permeation was enhanced on using iontophoresis. Moreover, both LPT and 5-FU transfersomes were found to be stable for 3 months when stored at a temperature of 5 ± 3 °C. The results indicated that this treatment strategy could be an effective approach in contrast to some of the conventional treatments employed to date.

Abstract
The present study introduces Fe3O4-coated lapatinib-labeled 153Sm nanoparticles (denoted as Fe3O4@lapatinib-153Sm) as a promising avenue for advancing breast cancer treatment. The radiolabeled nanoparticles combine various attributes, offering enhanced therapeutic precision. The integration of lapatinib confers therapeutic effects and targeted delivery. The inherent magnetic characteristics of Fe3O4 nanoparticles contribute to improved imaging contrast and targeted localization. Incorporating the gamma-emitting 153Sm isotope permits single-photon emission computed tomography imaging and radiation dose evaluation, while its beta-emitting nature ensures targeted cancer cell eradication. The synthesis of Fe3O4@lapatinib-153Sm was meticulously optimized by investigating the effects of parameters on radiolabeling efficiency. Physicochemical attributes were scrutinized using several analytical techniques. In-depth in vivo assessment evaluated the biocompatibility, toxicity, and biodistribution in a murine model, illuminating clinical utility. Optimal conditions (153SmCl3 concentration of 10 mCi mL-1, pH 7.4, a reaction time of 30 min, and a temperature of 25 °C) achieved >99% labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity. The TEM analysis indicated that the diameter of Fe3O4@lapatinib-153Sm nanoparticles ranged from 10 to 40 nm. Vibrating-sample magnetometry verified their superparamagnetic behaviour with a saturation magnetization of 41.4 emu g-1. The synthesized radiopharmaceutical exhibited high sterility and in vitro stability. Acute toxicity studies showed the mild effects of Fe3O4@lapatinib-153Sm at a dose of 20 mCi kg-1, with no observed mortality. Notably, lesions from Fe3O4@lapatinib-153Sm use recovered naturally over time. Radiation doses below 20 mCi kg-1 were recommended for clinical trials. The biodistribution study in BT474 xenograft mice revealed rapid clearance of Fe3O4@lapatinib-153Sm within 48 h. Significant accumulation occurred in the liver, spleen, and tumor tissue, while minimal accumulation was found in other tissues. Future steps involve studying biocorona formation and therapeutic efficacy on tumour models, refining its clinical potential.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an important factor leading to multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatment. The co-administration of anticancer drugs and P-gp inhibitors has been a treatment strategy to overcome MDR. In recent years, tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lapatinib has been reported to reverse MDR through directly interacting with ABC transporters. In this work, a series of P-gp inhibitors (1-26) was designed and synthesized by integrating the quinazoline core of Lapatinib into the molecule framework of the third-generation P-gp inhibitor Tariquidar. Among them, compound 14 exhibited better MDR reversal activity than Tariquidar. The docking results showed compound 14 displayed the L-shaped molecular conformation. Importantly, compound 14 increased the accumulation of Adriamycin (ADM) and rhodamine 123 (Rh123) in MCF7/ADM cells. Besides, compound 14 significantly increased ADM-induced apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of MCF7/ADM cells. It was also demonstrated that compound 14 significantly inhibited the growth of MCF7/ADM xenograft tumors by increasing the sensitivity of ADM. In summary, compound 14 has the potential to overcome MDR caused by P-gp.

Abstract
Importance Patients with locally advanced non-human papillomavirus (HPV) head and neck cancer (HNC) carry an unfavorable prognosis. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with cisplatin or anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody improves overall survival (OS) of patients with stage III to IV HNC, and preclinical data suggest that a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor dual EGFR and ERBB2 (formerly HER2 or HER2/neu) inhibitor may be more effective than anti-EGFR antibody therapy in HNC. Objective To examine whether adding lapatinib, a dual EGFR and HER2 inhibitor, to radiation plus cisplatin for frontline therapy of stage III to IV non-HPV HNC improves progression-free survival (PFS). Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter, phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial enrolled 142 patients with stage III to IV carcinoma of the oropharynx (p16 negative), larynx, and hypopharynx with a Zubrod performance status of 0 to 1 who met predefined blood chemistry criteria from October 18, 2012, to April 18, 2017 (median follow-up, 4.1 years). Data analysis was performed from December 1, 2020, to December 4, 2020. Intervention Patients were randomized (1:1) to 70 Gy (6 weeks) plus 2 cycles of cisplatin (every 3 weeks) plus either 1500 mg per day of lapatinib (CRT plus lapatinib) or placebo (CRT plus placebo). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was PFS, with 69 events required. Progression-free survival rates between arms for all randomized patients were compared by 1-sided log-rank test. Secondary end points included OS. Results Of the 142 patients enrolled, 127 (median [IQR] age, 58 [53-63] years; 98 [77.2%] male) were randomized; 63 to CRT plus lapatinib and 64 to CRT plus placebo. Final analysis did not suggest improvement in PFS (hazard ratio, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.56-1.46; P = .34) or OS (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.61-1.86; P = .58) with the addition of lapatinib. There were no significant differences in grade 3 to 4 acute adverse event rates (83.3% [95% CI, 73.9%-92.8%] with CRT plus lapatinib vs 79.7% [95% CI, 69.4%-89.9%] with CRT plus placebo; P = .64) or late adverse event rates (44.4% [95% CI, 30.2%-57.8%] with CRT plus lapatinib vs 40.8% [95% CI, 27.1%-54.6%] with CRT plus placebo; P = .84). Conclusion and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial, dual EGFR-ERBB2 inhibition with lapatinib did not appear to enhance the benefit of CRT. Although the results of this trial indicate that accrual to a non-HPV HNC-specific trial is feasible, new strategies must be investigated to improve the outcome for this population with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Background Lapatinib is an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. In order to reduce the treatment cost, a high-fat enteral nutrition emulsion TPF-T was selected as a dose-sparing agent for lapatinib-based therapies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TPF-T on lapatinib pharmacokinetics. Methods First, a simple and rapid liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to quantitatively evaluate lapatinib in rabbit plasma. The method was fully validated according to the China Pharmacopoeia 2020 guidance. Rabbits and rats were chosen as the animal models due to their low and high bile flows, respectively. The proposed LC-MS/MS method was applied to pharmacokinetic studies of lapatinib, with or without TPF-T, in rabbit and rat plasma. Results The LC-MS/MS method revealed high sensitivity and excellent efficiency. In the rabbit model, co-administration with TPF-T resulted in a 32.2% increase in lapatinib exposure. In the rat model, TPF-T had minimal influence on the lapatinib exposure. In both models, TPF-T was observed to significantly elevate lapatinib concentration in the absorption phase. Conclusion Co-administration with TPF-T had a moderate effect on increasing exposure to lapatinib. Dose sparing using a high-fat liquid diet is potentially feasible for lapatinib-based therapies.

Abstract
Importance Targeted therapies directed against ERBB2 are the cornerstone of medical treatment for ERBB2-positive breast cancers but are contraindicated during pregnancy. Objectives To describe the association of exposure to anti-ERBB2 agents during pregnancy with pregnancy and fetal or newborn outcomes, and to compare the risk and types of adverse outcomes reported more frequently in this context than after exposure to other anticancer agents. Design, Setting, and Participants For this case-control study, All reports with a pregnancy-related condition and an antineoplastic agent (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification group L01) registered in the World Health Organization international pharmacovigilance database VigiBase up to June 26, 2022, were extracted. All reports with a pregnancy, an antineoplastic treatment during pregnancy, and a cancer were retained. Reports with anticancer agents prescribed for nononcologic purposes were not included. Exposure The exposure group was defined as reports that mention anti-ERBB2 agents compared with exposure to other anticancer agents. Main Outcome and Measures The main outcome was the reporting odds ratio (ROR) for maternofetal complications in the group exposed to anti-ERBB2 agents compared with other anticancer agents, as determined using a disproportionality analysis. Results A total of 3558 reports (anti-ERBB2 agents, 328; other anticancer agents, 3230) were included in the analysis. In the group exposed to anti-ERBB2 agents, most reports were from the US (159 [48.5%]), the mean (SD) age of participants was 30.8 (10.4) years, and 209 patients (97.7%) were treated for breast cancers. The molecules most frequently involved in cases with anti-ERBB2 agents were trastuzumab (n = 302), pertuzumab (n = 55), trastuzumab-emtansine (n = 20), and lapatinib (n = 18). The outcomes overreported in these cases included oligohydramnios (ROR, 17.68 [95% CI, 12.26-25.52]; P < .001), congenital respiratory tract disorders (ROR, 9.98 [95% CI, 2.88-34.67]; P < .001), and neonatal kidney failure (ROR, 9.15 [95% CI, 4.62-18.12]; P < .001). Sensitivity and multivariable analyses found similar results. Toxic effects were also significantly overreported for trastuzumab-emtansine (cardiovascular malformation: ROR, 4.46 [95% CI, 1.02-19.52]) and lapatinib (intrauterine growth restriction: ROR, 7.68 [95% CI, 3.01-19.59]). Conclusions and Relevance In this case-control study of 328 individuals exposed to anti-ERBB2 agents during pregnancy, exposure was associated with a severe specific adverse pregnancy and fetal or newborn outcomes compared with exposure to other anticancer treatments.

Abstract
Advanced breast cancer is known to be highly evasive to conventional therapeutic regimes with a 5-year survival rate of less than 30% compared to over 90% for early stages. Although several new approaches are being explored to improve the survival outcome, there is still some room for equipping existing drugs such as lapatinib (LAPA) and doxorubicin (DOX) to fight the systemic disease. LAPA is associated with poorer clinical outcomes in HER2-negative patients. However its ability to also target EGFR has warranted its use in recent clinical trials. Nevertheless, the drug is poorly absorbed post oral administration and possess low aqueous solubility. DOX on the other hand is avoided in vulnerable patients in advanced stages due to its pronounced off-target toxicity. To overcome the pitfalls of the drugs, we have fabricated a nanomedicine co-loaded with LAPA & DOX and stabilized with glycol chitosan, a biocompatible polyelectrolyte. With a loading content of ~ 11.5% and ~ 15% respectively, LAPA and DOX in a single nanomedicine showed synergistic action against triple-negative breast cancer cells in comparison to physically mixed free drugs. The nanomedicine showed a time-dependent association with cancer cells thereon inducing apoptosis leading to ~ 80% cell death. The nanomedicine was found to be acutely safe in healthy Balb/c mice and could negate DOX-induced cardio toxicity. The combination nanomedicine significantly inhibited both the primary 4T1 breast tumor and its spread to the lung, liver, heart, and kidney compared to pristine drug controls. These preliminary data indicate bright prospects for the nanomedicine to be effective against metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
For the treatment of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the imaging of cervical lymph nodes and the evaluation of metastastic progression are of great significance. In recent years, the development of new non-radioactive lymph node tracers has been an area of intense research. Here, we report the synthesis, good biocompatibility, and in vivo evaluation of a new small molecule near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe by the conjugation of Lapatinib to S0456 (LP-S). We show that like Lapatinib, LP-S binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) resulting in high quality fluorescence imaging of metastatic lymph nodes in OSCC mouse models. After local injection of LP-S into the tumor, the lymphatic drainage pathway and lymph nodes can be clearly identified by NIR fluorescence imaging. Further, the LP-S probe shows higher contrast and longer retention in metastatic lymph nodes, allowing them to be differentiated from normal lymph nodes, and affording a new choice for fluorescence-guided surgery. Scheme. Chemical synthesis and application of EGFR targeting probe LP-S for imaging of metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) in OSCC.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common types of cancer disease worldwide and it accounts for thousands of deaths annually. Lapatinib is among the preferred drugs for the treatment of breast cancer. Possible drug toxicity effects of lapatinib can be controlled by real-time determination of the appropriate dose for a patient at the point of care. In this study, a novel highly sensitive polymeric nanobiosensor for lapatinib is presented. A composite of poly(anilino-co-4-aminobenzoic acid) co-polymer {poly(ANI-co-4-ABA)} and coffee extract-based green-synthesized indium nanoparticles (InNPs) was used to develop the sensor platform on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), i.e., SPCE||poly(ANI-co-4-ABA-InNPs). Cytochrome P450-3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were incorporated on the modified platform to produce the SPCE||poly(ANI-co-4-ABA-InNPs)|CYP3A4|PEG lapatinib nanobiosensor. Experiments for the determination of the electrochemical response characteristics of the nanobiosensor were performed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The nanobiosensor calibration for 0-100 ng/mL lapatinib was linear and gave limit of detection (LOD) values of 13.21 ng/mL lapatinib and 18.6 ng/mL lapatinib in physiological buffer and human serum, respectively. The LOD values are much lower than the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of lapatinib (2.43 µg/mL), which is attained 4 h after the administration of a daily dose of 1250 mg lapatinib. The electrochemical nanobiosensor also exhibited excellent anti-interference performance and stability.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical trials reported 25% to 30% pathologic complete response (pCR) rates in HER2+ patients with breast cancer treated with anti-HER2 therapies without chemotherapy. We hypothesize that a multiparameter classifier can identify patients with HER2-"addicted" tumors who may benefit from a chemotherapy-sparing strategy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Baseline HER2+ breast cancer specimens from the TBCRC023 and PAMELA trials, which included neoadjuvant treatment with lapatinib and trastuzumab, were used. In the case of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors, endocrine therapy was also administered. HER2 protein and gene amplification (ratio), HER2-enriched (HER2-E), and PIK3CA mutation status were assessed by dual gene protein assay (GPA), research-based PAM50, and targeted DNA-sequencing. GPA cutoffs and classifier of response were constructed in TBCRC023 using a decision tree algorithm, then validated in PAMELA. RESULTS In TBCRC023, 72 breast cancer specimens had GPA, PAM50, and sequencing data, of which 15 had pCR. Recursive partitioning identified cutoffs of HER2 ratio ≥ 4.6 and %3+ IHC staining ≥ 97.5%. With PAM50 and sequencing data, the model added HER2-E and PIK3CA wild-type (WT). For clinical implementation, the classifier was locked as HER2 ratio ≥ 4.5, %3+ IHC staining ≥ 90%, and PIK3CA-WT and HER2-E, yielding 55% and 94% positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values, respectively. Independent validation using 44 PAMELA cases with all three biomarkers yielded 47% PPV and 82% NPV. Importantly, our classifier's high NPV signifies its strength in accurately identifying patients who may not be good candidates for treatment deescalation. CONCLUSIONS Our multiparameter classifier differentially identifies patients who may benefit from HER2-targeted therapy alone from those who need chemotherapy and predicts pCR to anti-HER2 therapy alone comparable with chemotherapy plus dual anti-HER2 therapy in unselected patients.

Abstract
Matriptase is a type II transmembrane serine protease that is widely expressed in normal epithelial cells and epithelial cancers. Studies have shown that regulation of matriptase expression and activation becomes deranged in several cancers and is associated with poor disease-free survival. Although the central mechanism of its activation has remained unknown, our lab has previously demonstrated that inflammatory conditions such as intracellular pH decrease strongly induces matriptase activation. In this investigation, we first demonstrate clear matriptase activation following Fulvestrant (ICI) and Tykerb (Lapatinib) treatment in HER2-amplified, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive BT474, MDA-MB-361 and ZR-75-30 or single ER-positive MCF7 cells, respectively. This activation modestly involved Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activation and occurred as quickly as six hours post treatment. We also demonstrate that matriptase activation is not a universal hallmark of stress, with Etoposide treated cells showing a larger degree of matriptase activation than Lapatinib and ICI-treated cells. While etoposide toxicity has been shown to be mediated through reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) activity, MEK activity showed no correlation with matriptase activation. Novelly, we demonstrate that endogenous and exogenous matriptase activation are ROS-mediated in vitro and inhibited by N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Lastly, we demonstrate matriptase-directed NAC treatment results in apoptosis of several breast cancer cell lines either alone or in combination with clinically used therapeutics. These data demonstrate the contribution of ROS-mediated survival, its independence of kinase-mediated survival, and the plausibility of using matriptase activation to indicate the potential success of antioxidant therapy.

Abstract
Background: Oxidative stress plays a critical role in oncogenesis and tumor progression. However, the prognostic role of oxidative stress-related lncRNA in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) has not been fully explored. Methods: We used the gene expression data and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to identify oxidative stress-related differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) by pearson correlation analysis. A four-oxidative stress-related DElncRNA signature was constructed by LASSO regression and Cox regression analyses. The predictive signature was further validated by Kaplan–Meier (K–M) survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, nomogram and calibration plots, and principal component analysis (PCA). Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to explore the relationship between the signature and immune status. Finally, the correlation between the signature and chemotherapeutic response of HCC patients was analyzed. Results: In our study, the four-DElncRNA signature was not only proved to be a robust independent prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) prediction, but also played a crucial role in the regulation of progression and chemotherapeutic response of HCC. ssGSEA showed that the signature was correlated with the infiltration level of immune cells. HCC patients in high-risk group were more sensitive to the conventional chemotherapeutic drugs including Sorafenib, lapatinib, Nilotinib, Gefitinib, Erlotinib and Dasatinib, which pave the way for targeting DElncRNA-associated treatments for HCC patients. Conclusion: Our study has originated a prognostic signature for HCC based on oxidative stress-related DElncRNAs, deepened the understanding of the biological role of four key DElncRNAs in HCC and laid a theoretical foundation for the choice of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Physiological changes such as hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) endow cancer cells with malignant properties, leading to tumor recurrence and rapid progression. Here, we assessed the effect of hypoxia (1% Oxygen) on the tumor suppressor Annexin A6 (AnxA6) and the response of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapies. We demonstrate that brief exposure of TNBC cells to hypoxia (within 24 h) is associated with down regulation of AnxA6 while > 24 h exposure cell type dependently stimulated the expression of AnxA6. Hypoxia depicted by the expression and stability of HIF-1/2α led to up regulation of the HIF target genes SLC2A1, PGK1 as well as AR and the AR target genes FABP-4 and PPAR-γ, but the cellular levels of AnxA6 protein decreased under prolonged hypoxia. Down regulation of AnxA6 in TNBC cells inhibited, while AnxA6 over expression enhanced the expression and cellular levels of HIF-1/2α, SLC2A1 and PGK1. RNAi mediated inhibition of hypoxia induced AnxA6 expression also strongly inhibited glucose uptake and ROS production in AnxA6 expressing TNBC cells. Using a luciferase reporter assay, we confirm that short-term exposure of cells to hypoxia inhibits while prolonged exposure of cells to hypoxia enhances AnxA6 promoter activity in HEK293T cells. Compared to cells cultured under normoxia, TNBC cells were more resistant to lapatinib under hypoxic conditions, and the downregulation of AnxA6 sensitized the cells to EGFR as well as AR antagonists. These data suggest that AnxA6 is a hypoxia inducible gene and that targeting AnxA6 upregulation may be beneficial in overcoming TNBC resistance to EGFR and/or AR targeted therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly variable and there is a paucity of effective treatment options for patients with PDAC. Genome-wide analyses may allow for potential drugs to be identified using differentially expressed genes, as well as constructing protein interaction networks and molecule-gene connectivity mapping. METHODS Microarray data of RNA expression profiling of PDAC and normal pancreas tissues were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Functional and pathway enrichment information of the DEGs was obtained using the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Corresponding homologous proteins were analyzed by protein-protein interaction analysis. Survival-related hub genes were screened and potential therapeutic drugs for PDAC were identified using the connectivity mapping (cMap). RESULTS Of 18,229 PDAC genes assessed using RNA expression profiling from 118 PDAC tumor samples and 13 normal pancreatic tissue samples, 1502 and 744 genes were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, versus normal pancreas tissue. Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed 10 upregulated hub genes (ITGB1, ITGAV, SDC1, KRAS, CCNB2, COL1A2, AURKA, CDC20, COL1A1, COL3A1) and 10 downregulated hub genes (CPB1, CPA1, CPA2, CTRB2, CTRC, CELA3A, CELA2B, PRSS3, CELA2A, REG1A). The connectivity mapping score related to this hub gene list was used to generate the candidate drugs for PDAC treatment, which includes tyrosine kinase inhibitors (lucitanib, lapatinib, ceritinib and CYT-387), serine/threonine protein kinase inhibitors (roscovitine, BS-181, purvalanol-a, MK-2206 and palomid-529) and other small molecules. CONCLUSION Using available genetic atlas data, potential drug candidates for treatment of PDAC were identified based on differentially expressed genes, protein interaction analysis and connectivity mapping. These results may help focus efforts on identifying targeted agents with potential therapeutic efficacy for evaluation in prospective clinical trials of patients with PDAC.

Abstract
PURPOSE EPHOS-B aimed to determine whether perioperative anti-HER2 therapy inhibited proliferation and/or increased apoptosis in HER2-positive breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS This randomized phase II, two-part, multicenter trial included newly diagnosed women with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer due to undergo surgery. Patients were randomized to: part 1 (1:2:2), no treatment (control), trastuzumab or lapatinib; part 2 (1:1:2) control, trastuzumab, or lapatinib and trastuzumab combination. Treatment was given for 11 days presurgery. Coprimary endpoints were change in Ki67 and apoptosis between baseline and surgery tumor samples (biologic response: ≥30% change). Central pathology review scored residual cancer burden (RCB). Relapse-free survival (RFS) explored long-term effects. RESULTS Between November 2010 and September 2015, 257 patients were randomized (part 1: control 22, trastuzumab 57, lapatinib 51; part 2: control 29, trastuzumab 32, combination 66). Ki67 response was evaluable for 223 patients: in part 1 Ki67 response occurred in 29/44 (66%) lapatinib versus 18/49 (37%) trastuzumab (P = 0.007) and 1/22 (5%) control (P < 0.0001); in part 2 in 36/49 (74%) combination versus 14/31 (45%) trastuzumab (P = 0.02) and 2/28 (7%) control (P < 0.0001). No significant increase in apoptosis after 11 days was seen in treatment groups. Six patients achieved complete pathologic response (pCR, RCB0) and 13 RCB1, all but two in the combination group. After 6 years median follow-up, 28 (11%) had recurrence and 19 (7%) died. No recurrences or deaths were observed among patients who achieved a pCR. Ki67% falls ≥50% associated with fewer recurrences (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Early response after short duration anti-HER2 dual therapy identifies cancers dependent on the HER2 pathway providing a strategy for exploring risk-adapted individualized treatment de-escalation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No standard medical treatment exists for adult patients with recurrent ependymoma, and prospective clinical trials in this population have not succeeded because of its rarity and challenges in accruing patients. The Collaborative Ependymoma Research Network conducted a prospective phase II clinical trial of dose-dense temozolomide (TMZ) and lapatinib, targeting the unmethylated O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter status and increased expression of ErbB2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) and ErbB1 (epidermal growth factor receptor) in ependymomas. METHODS Patients age 18 or older with histologically proven and progressive ependymoma or anaplastic ependymoma were eligible and received dose-dense TMZ and daily lapatinib. The primary outcome measure was median progression-free survival (PFS). Landmark 6- and 12-month PFS and objective response were measured. Serial assessments of symptom burden using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT)/MDASI-Spine Tumor modules were collected. RESULTS The 50 patients enrolled had a median age of 43.5 years, median Karnofsky performance status of 90, and a median of 2 prior relapses. Twenty patients had grade III, 16 grade II, and 8 grade I ependymoma. Half had spinal cord tumors; 15 had a supratentorial tumor, 8 infratentorial, and 2 had disseminated disease. Treatment was well tolerated. The median PFS was 7.8 months (95% CI: 5.5,12.2); the 6- and 12-month PFS rates were 55% and 38%, with 2 complete and 6 partial responses. Measures of symptom burden showed reduction in moderate-severe pain and other disease-related symptoms in most patients. CONCLUSIONS This treatment, with demonstrated clinical activity with objective responses and prolonged disease control associated with disease-related symptom improvements, is an option as a salvage regimen for adult patients with recurrent ependymoma.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive nanosystem is a powerful method to improve the bioavailability and reduce the side effects of anticancer agents. In the present study, a customized dual pH-responsive micellar nanoplatform (DOX+LAP-M) based on polycarbonate-doxorubicin conjugate micelles was prepared to co-deliver the chemotherapeutic agent lapatinib for inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. DOX+LAP-M micelles with spherical morphology had a size of ~112 nm and had an initial negative surface charge, which are favorable characteristics for long-term circulation in the blood. Once the micelles accumulated in tumor tissues, the intrinsic tumor extracellular acidity triggered the charge switch of DOX+LAP-M micelles from -1 to 9 mV, thereby facilitating cell internalization and tumor penetration. Subsequently, the pH-sensitive micellar core accelerated the release of doxorubicin and lapatinib in the acidic intracellular environment. DOX+LAP-M micelles effectively inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of 4T1 cells in vitro; furthermore, the administration of DOX+LAP-M micelles in 4T1 xenograft-bearing mice suppressed solid tumor growth with an inhibitory rate of 90.2% and significantly decreased pulmonary metastatic nodules, without significant systemic toxicity. This multifunctional micellar system has high potential for clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Surgical resection and chemotherapy are routinely performed for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) because it is insensitive to endocrine therapy and molecular targeted therapy. Here, the optimal surface charge (-28 mV) and particle size (51 nm) enabled the acid-labile hyaluronic acid pullulan prodrug (HPP)-doxorubicin (Dox)/lapatinib (Lap) conjugate to circulate in the blood for a lengthy period of time and enhance the electron paramagnetic resonance effect, while the targeted molecule hyaluronic acid accelerated CD44 receptor-mediated 4T1 cell internalization. The inefficient anti-proliferation capability of Lap increased more than 10-fold after sensitization of Dox to metastatic 4T1 cells, while cellular uptake significantly increased, and cell viability dramatically decreased to nearly 20% of the free Dox group. Furthermore, HPP-Dox/Lap more effectively inhibited lateral mobility, vertical migration, and invasion ability of 4T1 cells. The ex vivo biodistribution of representative Dox indicated that Lap obviously facilitated the intratumoral infiltration and accumulation. The in vivo research revealed that there were overwhelming advantages in using HPP-Dox/Lap to inhibit tumor growth, progression, and lung metastasis even at a low dosage (1 mg kg-1), and it decreased postoperative recurrence and pulmonary metastatic nodules. Because of the excellent biosafety and visible therapeutic effect on the 4T1 metastasis and recurrence model, there is great potential value for HPP-Dox/Lap to be used to treat metastatic TNBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of HER2-positive breast cancers with high anti-HER2 sensitivity could help de-escalate chemotherapy. Here, we tested a clinically applicable RNA-based assay that combines ERBB2 and the HER2-enriched (HER2-E) intrinsic subtype in HER2-positive disease treated with dual HER2-blockade without chemotherapy. METHODS A research-based PAM50 assay was applied in 422 HER2-positive tumors from five II-III clinical trials (SOLTI-PAMELA, TBCRC023, TBCRC006, PER-ELISA, EGF104090). In SOLTI-PAMELA, TBCRC023, TBCRC006, and PER-ELISA, all patients had early disease and were treated with neoadjuvant lapatinib or pertuzumab plus trastuzumab for 12-24 weeks. Primary outcome was pathological complete response (pCR). In EGF104900, 296 women with advanced disease were randomized to receive either lapatinib alone or lapatinib plus trastuzumab. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 305 patients with early and 117 patients with advanced HER2-positive disease were analyzed. In early disease, HER2-E represented 83.8% and 44.7% of ERBB2-high and ERBB2-low tumors, respectively. Following lapatinib and trastuzumab, the HER2-E and ERBB2 (HER2-E/ERBB2)-high group showed a higher pCR rate compared to the rest (44.5%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 35.4% to 53.9% vs 11.6%, 95% CI = 6.9% to 18.0%; adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 6.05, 95% CI = 3.10 to 11.80, P < .001). Similar findings were observed with neoadjuvant trastuzumab and pertuzumab (pCR rate of 66.7% in HER2-E/ERBB2-high, 95% CI = 22.3% to 95.7% vs 14.7% in others, 95% CI = 4.9% to 31.1%; adjusted OR = 11.60, 95% CI = 1.66 to 81.10, P = .01). In the advanced setting, the HER2-E/ERBB2-high group was independently associated with longer PFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.35 to 0.79, P < .001); higher ORR (16.3%, 95% CI = 8.9% to 26.2% vs 3.7%, 95% CI = 0.8% to 10.3%, P = .02); and longer OS (HR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.44 to 0.97, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS Combining HER2-E subtype and ERBB2 mRNA into a single assay identifies tumors with high responsiveness to HER2-targeted therapy. This biomarker could help de-escalate chemotherapy in approximately 40% of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
HER-2 belongs to the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family. Via different signal transduction pathways, HER-2 regulates normal cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Recently, it was reported that MCF10A, BT474, and MDA-MB-231 cells bearing the HER2 K753E mutation were resistant to lapatinib. Present study revealed that HER-2 mutant K753E showed some contrasting behaviour as compared to wild, L768S and V773L HER-2 in complex with lapatinib while similar to previously known lapatinib resistant L755S HER-2 mutant. Lapatinib showed stable but reverse orientation in binding site of K753E and the highest binding energy among studied HER2-lapatinib complexes but slightly lesser than L755S mutant. Results indicate that K753E has similar profile as L755S mutant for lapatinib. The interacting residues were also found different from other three studied forms as revealed by free energy decomposition and ligplot analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously described a systematic assessment of the neoadjuvant therapies for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) positive breast cancer, using network meta-analysis. Accumulation of new clinical data has compelled us to update the analysis. METHODS Randomized trials comparing different anti-HER2 regimens in the neoadjuvant setting were included, and odds ratio for pathologic complete response (pCR) in seven treatment arms were assessed by pooling effect sizes. Direct and indirect comparisons using a Bayesian statistical model were performed. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS A database search identified 993 articles with 13 studies meeting the eligibility criteria, including three new studies with lapatinib (lpnb). In an indirect comparison, dual anti-HER2 agents with CT achieved a better pCR rate than other arms. The credibility intervals of CT + tzmb + lpnb arm were largely reduced compared to our former report, which we added sufficient clinical evidence by this update. Values of surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) suggested that CT + tzmb + pzmb had the highest probability of being the best treatment arm for pCR, widening the difference between the top two dual-HER2 blockade arms compared to our former report. The overall consistency with our first report enhanced the credibility of the results. CONCLUSION Network meta-analysis using new clinical data firmly establish that combining two anti-HER2 agents with CT is most effective against HER2-positive breast cancer in the neoadjuvant setting. New pzmb related trials are required to fully determine the best neoadjuvant dual-HER2 blockade regimen.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing technologies have recently been used in pharmacogenomic studies to characterize large panels of cancer cell lines at the genomic and transcriptomic levels. Among these technologies, RNA-sequencing enable profiling of alternatively spliced transcripts. Given the high frequency of mRNA splicing in cancers, linking this feature to drug response will open new avenues of research in biomarker discovery. To identify robust transcriptomic biomarkers for drug response across studies, we develop a meta-analytical framework combining the pharmacological data from two large-scale drug screening datasets. We use an independent pan-cancer pharmacogenomic dataset to test the robustness of our candidate biomarkers across multiple cancer types. We further analyze two independent breast cancer datasets and find that specific isoforms of IGF2BP2, NECTIN4, ITGB6, and KLHDC9 are significantly associated with AZD6244, lapatinib, erlotinib, and paclitaxel, respectively. Our results support isoform expressions as a rich resource for biomarkers predictive of drug response.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of lapatinib on cell proliferation and apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia HL60 cells in vitro and the related molecular mechanisms. Methods The HL60 cells were treated with 5, 10, 15 μmol/L lapatinib for 24 hours, and then morphological changes of the cells were observed under optical microscope. CCK-8 assay was used to assess the cell viability. Colony formation assay was performed to detect the cell proliferation ability. Cell apoptosis labeled by annexinV-FITC/PI were analyzed by flow cytometry. Wright modified LIU's staining and Hoechst33342 fluorescent staining were used to observe the morphology of the nucleus. Western blotting was utilized to detect the expressions of Bax, Bcl2, caspase-3, caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (cleaved PARP), cell proliferation regulating inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A), c-MYC, AKT and p-AKT. Results Compared with the control group, lapatinib inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, induced nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation of HL60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, it down-regulated the expression of Bcl2, up-regulated the levels of Bax, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved PARP, and decreased the levels of CIP2A, p-AKT and c-MYC. Conclusion Lapatinib could inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis in HL60 cells by inhibiting the CIP2A/AKT/c-MYC signal pathway.

Abstract
Opioid-binding protein/cell adhesion molecule-like (OPCML) is a tumor-suppressor gene that is frequently inactivated in ovarian cancer and many other cancers by somatic methylation. We have previously shown that OPCML exerts its suppressor function by negatively regulating a spectrum of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), such as ErbB2/HER2, FGFR1, and EphA2, thus attenuating their related downstream signaling. The physical interaction of OPCML with this defined group of RTKs is a prerequisite for their downregulation. Overexpression/gene amplification of EGFR and HER2 is a frequent event in multiple cancers, including ovarian and breast cancers. Molecular therapeutics against EGFR/HER2 or EGFR only, such as lapatinib and erlotinib, respectively, were developed to target these receptors, but resistance often occurs in relapsing cancers. Here we show that, though OPCML interacts only with HER2 and not with EGFR, the interaction of OPCML with HER2 disrupts the formation of the HER2-EGFR heterodimer, and this translates into a better response to both lapatinib and erlotinib in HER2-expressing ovarian and breast cancer cell lines. Also, we show that high OPCML expression is associated with better response to lapatinib therapy in breast cancer patients and better survival in HER2-overexpressing ovarian cancer patients, suggesting that OPCML co-therapy could be a valuable sensitizing approach to RTK inhibitors.

Abstract
Purpose: Resistance to anti-HER2 therapies in HER2+ breast cancer can occur through activation of alternative survival pathways or reactivation of the HER signaling network. Here we employed BT474 parental and treatment-resistant cell line models to investigate a mechanism by which HER2+ breast cancer can reactivate the HER network under potent HER2-targeted therapies.Experimental Design: Resistant derivatives to lapatinib (L), trastuzumab (T), or the combination (LR/TR/LTR) were developed independently from two independent estrogen receptor ER+/HER2+ BT474 cell lines (AZ/ATCC). Two derivatives resistant to the lapatinib-containing regimens (BT474/AZ-LR and BT474/ATCC-LTR lines) that showed HER2 reactivation at the time of resistance were subjected to massive parallel sequencing and compared with parental lines. Ectopic expression and mutant-specific siRNA interference were applied to analyze the mutation functionally. In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to test alternative therapies for mutant HER2 inhibition.Results: Genomic analyses revealed that the HER2L755S mutation was the only common somatic mutation gained in the BT474/AZ-LR and BT474/ATCC-LTR lines. Ectopic expression of HER2L755S induced acquired lapatinib resistance in the BT474/AZ, SK-BR-3, and AU565 parental cell lines. HER2L755S-specific siRNA knockdown reversed the resistance in BT474/AZ-LR and BT474/ATCC-LTR lines. The HER1/2-irreversible inhibitors afatinib and neratinib substantially inhibited both resistant cell growth and the HER2 and downstream AKT/MAPK signaling driven by HER2L755S in vitro and in vivoConclusions: HER2 reactivation through acquisition of the HER2L755S mutation was identified as a mechanism of acquired resistance to lapatinib-containing HER2-targeted therapy in preclinical HER2-amplified breast cancer models, which can be overcome by irreversible HER1/2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a cell death pathway characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell. The combination of siramesine, a lysosome disruptor, and lapatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown to synergistically induce cell death in breast cancer cells mediated by ferroptosis. These treatments also induce autophagy but its role in this synergistic cell death is unclear. In this study, we determined that siramesine and lapatinib initially induced ferroptosis but changes to an autophagy induced cell death after 24 hours. Furthermore, we found that intracellular iron level increased in a time dependent manner following treatment accompanied by an increase in ROS. Using the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) or the ROS scavenger alpha-tocopherol decreased both autophagy flux and cell death. We further discovered that decreased expression of the iron storage protein, ferritin was partially dependent upon autophagy degradation. In contrast, the expression of transferrin, which is responsible for the transport of iron into cells, is increased following treatment with lapatinib alone or in combination with siramesine. This indicates that ferroptosis and autophagy induced cell death occur independently but both are mediated by iron dependent ROS generation in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Treatment of aggressive pituitary tumours often yields suboptimal control of the tumour and confers significant morbidity. Lactotroph and corticotroph-derived tumours express ErbB receptors and ligands, and mutations in ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8), which alters epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation, have been implicated in Cushing disease pathogenesis. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy has emerged as a potential new therapeutic approach for patients with aggressive prolactinomas and Cushing disease. RECENT FINDINGS Using EGFR or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-driven prolactin (PRL) promoters, transgenic mice develop large tumours that respond to TKI inhibition. In human corticotroph primary cultures, treatment with the pan-ErbB TKI canertinib as well as the EGFR TKI gefitinib suppresses proopiomelanocortin mRNA. USP8 mutations, detected in up to two-thirds of Cushing disease, may underlie the increase in EGFR signalling in these tumours. Human prolactinomas have differential ErbB receptor expression associated with aggressive behaviour and data from an ongoing clinical trial suggest that resistant prolactinomas may respond to the EGFR TKI lapatinib. SUMMARY Preclinical and clinical models substantiate the role of the EGFR pathway in corticotroph and lactotroph adenomas. Although further study is needed, results to date suggest that targeting the ErbB pathway may be an effective therapeutic approach for patients with aggressive pituitary tumours.

Abstract
Lessons Learned. Neoadjuvant 5‐fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and lapatinib in combination with radiation therapy is safe for neoadjuvant treatment for patients with localized human epidermal growth receptor 2‐positive esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. Evaluation of this drug combination in a larger patient pool would allow for more accurate analysis of its efficacy.
Background. The optimal design of neoadjuvant chemoradiation for the treatment of localized esophagogastric cancers is the subject of much debate. In this nonrandomized trial, we evaluated neoadjuvant 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), oxaliplatin, and lapatinib in combination with radiation therapy as neoadjuvant treatment for patients with localized human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)‐positive esophagogastric adenocarcinomas. Methods. Patients received neoadjuvant 5‐FU (225 mg/m2 continuous intravenous infusion, days 1–42), oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2 intravenously [IV], days 1, 15, and 29), and lapatinib (six patients, 1,000 mg p.o., days 1–42; six patients, 750 mg p.o., days 1–42) plus radiation (1.8 Gy/day Monday through Friday for 50.4 Gy total). Following restaging, eligible patients underwent definitive resection, and pathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy was assessed. Planned enrollment was 42 patients. The primary endpoint was the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate. Results. Twelve patients (median age 64 years; 67% male) received a median of 5.6 weeks of treatment (range: 1.1–8.4). The pCR rate was 8%; four of the 12 patients underwent tumor resection and one patient had a pCR, with pathologic partial response in the remaining three. The most common lapatinib‐related adverse events included (all grades) nausea (67%) and diarrhea (58%), although these were all grade 1 or 2. Enrollment was halted due to low accrual. Conclusion. The treatment regimen was determined to be safe. The study was terminated early due to low accrual.

Abstract
Overexpression and/or gene amplification of HER2, a crucial member of the HER family of four receptors, occur in about 15-20% of breast cancers and define an aggressive subtype of the disease. Activated HER homo and heterodimers govern a complex and redundant downstream signaling network that regulates cell survival and metastasis. Despite treatment with effective HER2-targeted therapies, many HER2-positive tumors fail to respond, or initially respond but eventually develop resistance. One of the upfront reasons for this treatment failure is failure to accurately select the tumors that are truly dependent on HER2 for survival and so would benefit the most from HER2-targeted therapy. In these truly HER2-addicted tumors (i.e. physiologically dependent), resistance could be the result of an incomplete inhibition of signaling at the HER receptor layer. In this regard, preclinical and clinical studies have documented the superiority of combination anti-HER2 therapy over single agent therapy to achieve a more comprehensive inhibition of the various HER receptor dimers. HER2 can be further activated or reactivated by mutations or other alterations in HER2 itself, or in other HER family members. Even when a complete and sustained HER inhibition is achieved, resistance to anti-HER therapy can arise by other somewhat dominant mechanisms, including preexisting or emerging alternative signaling pathways such as the estrogen receptor, deregulated downstream signaling components, especially of the PI3K pathway, and the tumor immune microenvironment. Most of the clinical trials that have investigated the efficacy of anti-HER2 therapies took place in the background of aggressive chemotherapy regimens, thus confounding the identification of key factors of resistance to the anti-HER2 treatments. Recent studies, however, have suggested that some HER2-amplified tumors may benefit from anti-HER2 therapy combined with only a single chemotherapy agent or in the absence of any chemotherapy. This de-escalation approach, a promising therapeutic strategy, is currently being explored in the clinic. In this review, we summarize the major molecular determinants that play a crucial role in influencing tumor response and resistance to HER2-targeted therapy, and discuss the growing need for patient stratification in order to facilitate the development of de-escalation strategies using HER2-targeted therapy alone with no chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab emtansine is indicated for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. Approval of this drug was based on progression-free survival and interim overall survival data from the phase 3 EMILIA study. In this report, we present a descriptive analysis of the final overall survival data from that trial. METHODS EMILIA was a randomised, international, open-label, phase 3 study of men and women aged 18 years or older with HER2-positive unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. Enrolled patients were randomly assigned (1:1) via a hierarchical, dynamic randomisation scheme and an interactive voice response system to trastuzumab emtansine (3·6 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks) or control (capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 self-administered orally twice daily on days 1-14 on each 21-day cycle, plus lapatinib 1250 mg orally once daily on days 1-21). Randomisation was stratified by world region (USA vs western Europe vs or other), number of previous chemotherapy regimens for unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic disease (0 or 1 vs >1), and disease involvement (visceral vs non-visceral). The coprimary efficacy endpoints were progression-free survival (per independent review committee assessment) and overall survival. Efficacy was analysed in the intention-to-treat population; safety was analysed in all patients who received at least one dose of study treatment, with patients analysed according to the treatment actually received. On May 30, 2012, the study protocol was amended to allow crossover from control to trastuzumab emtansine after the second interim overall survival analysis crossed the prespecified overall survival efficacy boundary. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00829166. FINDINGS Between Feb 23, 2009, and Oct 13, 2011, 991 eligible patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to either trastuzumab emtansine (n=495) or capecitabine and lapatinib (control; n=496). In this final descriptive analysis, median overall survival was longer with trastuzumab emtansine than with control (29·9 months [95% CI 26·3-34·1] vs 25·9 months [95% CI 22·7-28·3]; hazard ratio 0·75 [95% CI 0·64-0·88]). 136 (27%) of 496 patients crossed over from control to trastuzumab emtansine after the second interim overall survival analysis (median follow-up duration 24·1 months [IQR 19·5-26·1]). Of those patients originally randomly assigned to trastuzumab emtansine, 254 (51%) of 495 received capecitabine and 241 [49%] of 495 received lapatinib (separately or in combination) after study drug discontinuation. In the safety population (488 patients treated with capecitabine plus lapatinib, 490 patients treated with trastuzumab emtansine), fewer grade 3 or worse adverse events occurred with trastuzumab emtansine (233 [48%] of 490) than with capecitabine plus lapatinib control treatment (291 [60%] of 488). In the control group, the most frequently reported grade 3 or worse adverse events were diarrhoea (103 [21%] of 488 patients) followed by palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (87 [18%]), and vomiting (24 [5%]). The safety profile of trastuzumab emtansine was similar to that reported previously; the most frequently reported grade 3 or worse adverse events in the trastuzumab emtansine group were thrombocytopenia (70 [14%] of 490), increased aspartate aminotransferase levels (22 [5%]), and anaemia (19 [4%]). Nine patients died from adverse events; five of these deaths were judged to be related to treatment (two in the control group [coronary artery disease and multiorgan failure] and three in the trastuzumab emtansine group [metabolic encephalopathy, neutropenic sepsis, and acute myeloid leukaemia]). INTERPRETATION This descriptive analysis of final overall survival in the EMILIA trial shows that trastuzumab emtansine improved overall survival in patients with previously treated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer even in the presence of crossover treatment. The safety profile was similar to that reported in previous analyses, reaffirming trastuzumab emtansine as an efficacious and tolerable treatment in this patient population.

Abstract
Molecularly targeted therapeutics hold promise of revolutionizing treatments of advanced malignancies. However, a large number of patients do not respond to these treatments. Here, we take a systems biology approach to understand the molecular mechanisms that prevent breast cancer (BC) cells from responding to lapatinib, a dual kinase inhibitor that targets human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). To this end, we analysed temporal gene expression profiles of four BC cell lines, two of which respond and the remaining two do not respond to lapatinib. For this analysis, we developed a Gaussian process based algorithm which can accurately find differentially expressed genes by analysing time course gene expression profiles at a fraction of the computational cost of other state-of-the-art algorithms. Our analysis identified 519 potential genes which are characteristic of lapatinib non-responsiveness in the tested cell lines. Data from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database suggested that the basal expressions 120 of the above genes correlate with the response of BC cells to HER2 and/or EGFR targeted therapies. We selected 27 genes from the larger panel of 519 genes for experimental verification and 16 of these were successfully validated. Further bioinformatics analysis identified vitamin D receptor (VDR) as a potential target of interest for lapatinib non-responsive BC cells. Experimentally, calcitriol, a commonly used reagent for VDR targeted therapy, in combination with lapatinib additively inhibited proliferation in two HER2 positive cell lines, lapatinib insensitive MDA-MB-453 and lapatinib resistant HCC 1954-L cells.

Abstract
Purpose: Dual blockade of HER2 with trastuzumab and lapatinib or pertuzumab has been shown to be superior to single-agent trastuzumab. However, a significant fraction of HER2-overexpressing (HER2+) breast cancers escape from these drug combinations. In this study, we sought to discover the mechanisms of acquired resistance to the combination of lapatinib + trastuzumab.Experimental Design: HER2+ BT474 xenografts were treated with lapatinib + trastuzumab long-term until resistance developed. Potential mechanisms of acquired resistance were evaluated in lapatinib + trastuzumab-resistant (LTR) tumors by targeted capture next-generation sequencing. In vitro experiments were performed to corroborate these findings, and a novel drug combination was tested against LTR xenografts. Gene expression and copy-number analyses were performed to corroborate our findings in clinical samples.Results: LTR tumors exhibited an increase in FGF3/4/19 copy number, together with an increase in FGFR phosphorylation, marked stromal changes in the tumor microenvironment, and reduced tumor uptake of lapatinib. Stimulation of BT474 cells with FGF4 promoted resistance to lapatinib + trastuzumab in vitro Treatment with FGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors reversed these changes and overcame resistance to lapatinib + trastuzumab. High expression of FGFR1 correlated with a statistically shorter progression-free survival in patients with HER2+ early breast cancer treated with adjuvant trastuzumab. Finally, FGFR1 and/or FGF3 gene amplification correlated with a lower pathologic complete response in patients with HER2+ early breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant anti-HER2 therapy.Conclusions: Amplification of FGFR signaling promotes resistance to HER2 inhibition, which can be diminished by the combination of HER2 and FGFR inhibitors.

Abstract
ErbB2/HER2/Neu is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed in 25-30% of human breast cancers, usually associated with amplification of the ERBB2 gene. HER2 has no recognized ligands and heterodimers between HER2 and EGFR (ErbB1/HER1) or HER2 and ErbB3/HER3 are important in breast cancer. Unlike other ErbB family members, HER2 is resistant to internalization and degradation, and remains at the cell surface to signal for prolonged periods after it is activated. Although the mechanisms underlying retention of HER2 at the cell surface are not fully understood, prior studies have shown that, in order to avoid internalization, HER2 must interact with the chaperone, HSP90, and the calcium pump, PMCA2, within specific plasma membrane domains that protrude from the cell surface. In this report, we demonstrate that HER2 signaling, itself, is important for the formation and maintenance of membrane protrusions, at least in part, by maintaining PMCA2 expression and preventing increased intracellular calcium concentrations. Partial genetic knockdown of HER2 expression or pharmacologic inhibition of HER2 signaling causes the depletion of membrane protrusions and disruption of the interactions between HER2 and HSP90. This is associated with the ubiquitination of HER2, its internalization with EGFR or HER3, and its degradation. These results suggest a model by which some threshold of HER2 signaling is required for the formation and/or maintenance of multi-protein signaling complexes that reinforce and prolong HER2/EGFR or HER2/HER3 signaling by inhibiting HER2 ubiquitination and internalization.

Abstract
Endothelin (ET)-1 is an important peptide in cancer progression stimulating cellular proliferation, tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. ET-1 binds with high affinity to the ETA receptor (R) and ETBR on cancer cells. High levels of tumor ET-1 and ETAR are associated with poor survival of lung cancer patients. Here the effects of ET-1 on epidermal growth factor (EGF)R and HER2 transactivation were investigated using non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. ETAR mRNA was present in all 10 NSCLC cell lines examined. Addition of ET-1 to NCI-H838 or H1975 cells increased EGFR, HER2 and ERK tyrosine phosphorylation within 2min. The increase in EGFR and HER2 transactivation caused by ET-1 addition to NSCLC cells was inhibited by lapatinib (EGFR and HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)), gefitinib (EGFR TKI), ZD4054 or BQ-123 (ETAR antagonist), GM6001 (matrix metalloprotease inhibitor), PP2 (Src inhibitor) or Tiron (superoxide scavenger). ET-1 addition to NSCLC cells increased cytosolic Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species. ET-1 increased NSCLC clonal growth, whereas BQ123, ZD4054, lapatinib or gefitinib inhibited proliferation. The results indicate that ET-1 may regulate NSCLC cellular proliferation in an EGFR- and HER2-dependent manner.

Abstract
Melanoma remains one of the most aggressive and therapy-resistant cancers. Finding new treatments to improve patient outcomes is an ongoing effort. We previously demonstrated that melanoma relies on the activation of ERBB signaling, specifically of the ERBB3/ERBB2 cascade. Here we show that melanoma tumor growth is inhibited by 60% over controls when treated with lapatinib, a clinically approved inhibitor of ERBB2/EGFR. Importantly, tumor growth is further inhibited to 85% when the natural compound fucoidan from New Zealand U. pinnatifida is integrated into the treatment regimen. Fucoidan not only enhances tumor growth inhibition, it counteracts the morbidity associated with prolonged lapatinib treatment. Fucoidan doubles the cell killing capacity of lapatinib. These effects are associated with a further decrease in AKT and NFκB signaling, two key pathways involved in melanoma cell survival. Importantly, the enhancing cell killing effects of fucoidan can be recapitulated by inhibiting ERBB3 by either a specific shRNA or a novel, selective ERBB3 neutralizing antibody, reiterating the key roles played by this receptor in melanoma. We therefore propose the use of lapatinib or specific ERBB inhibitors, in combination with fucoidan as a new treatment of melanoma that potentiates the effects of the inhibitors while protecting from their potential side effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib have complementary mechanisms of action and synergistic antitumour actively in models of HER2-positive breast cancer. However, the efficacy of trastuzumab in combination with lapatinib remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to compare combination treatment with lapatinib and trastuzumab to trastuzumab or lapatinib alone in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. METHODS Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), published in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science, were systematically reviewed to assess the survival benefits and toxicity profile of HER2-positive patients with breast cancer who were treated with lapatinib and trastuzumab. Outcomes included pathological complete response (pCR), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicities. Results were expressed as the risk ratio (RR) or HR with 95% CIs. Pooled estimates were calculated by using a fixed-effects model or a randomised-effects model. RESULTS A total of 7 RCTs involving 2084 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The combination of lapatinib and trastuzumab significantly improved pCR (RR=1.43, 95% CI 1.23 to 1.67; p<0.001), EFS (HR=0.75, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.93; p=0.009) and OS (HR=0.72, 95% CI 0.56 to 0.93; p=0.011) in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer compared with trastuzumab or lapatinib alone. The combination treatment also increased the pCR irrespective of hormone receptor status and tumour size. More frequent grade 3 or 4 adverse events, including diarrhoea, rash or erythema, neutropenia and hepatic adverse events, were found in the combination group than in the trastuzumab or lapatinib group. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the current evidence, our results reveal that the addition of lapatinib to trastuzumab can significantly improve pCR, EFS and OS with a tolerated toxicity in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Further well-conducted, large-scale trials are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
Background Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is observed in approximately 15–23% of breast cancers and these cancers are classified as HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab is the first-line targeted therapeutic drug for HER2-positive breast cancer and has improved patient overall survival. However, acquired resistance to trastuzumab is still a critical issue in breast cancer treatment. We previously established a trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer cell line (named as BT-474-R) from a trastuzumab-sensitive HER2-amplified cell line BT-474. Lapatinib is also a molecular-targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer, which acquired the resistance to trastuzumab. Acquired resistance to lapatinib is also an issue to be conquered. Methods We established trastuzumab/lapatinib-dual resistant cell line (named as BT-474-RL2) by additionally treating BT-474-R with lapatinib. We analyzed the mechanisms of resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib. Besides, we analyzed the effect of the detected resistance mechanism in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Results Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Yes1, which is one of the Src family members, was amplified, overexpressed and activated in BT-474-R and BT-474-RL2. Silencing of Yes1 by siRNA induced both BT-474-R and BT-474-RL2 to restore the sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib. Pharmaceutical inhibition of Yes1 by the Src inhibitor dasatinib was also effective to restore the sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib in the two resistant cell lines. Combination treatment with dasatinib and trastuzumab induced down-regulation of signaling molecules such as HER2 and Akt. Moreover, the combination treatments induced G1-phase cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Consistent with cell line data, high expression of Yes1 mRNA was correlated with worse prognosis in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Conclusion Yes1 plays an important role in acquired resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib in HER2-positive breast cancer. Our data suggest that pharmacological inhibition of Yes1 may be an effective strategy to overcome resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib.

Abstract
The EGFR inhibitor cetuximab is approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer. However, both innate and acquired resistance mechanisms, including compensatory feedback loops, limit its efficacy. Nevertheless, the emergence of these feedback loops has remained largely unexplored to date. Here, we showed feedback upregulation of HER3 and induction of HER3 phosphorylation after cetuximab treatment in colon cancer cells. We also showed that this upregulation occurs, at least partly, through AKT inhibition. Together with this, we observed increased HER2:HER3 dimerization upon cetuximab treatment. Interestingly, lapatinib, a dual EGFR and HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked the increase of cetuximab-induced HER3 phosphorylation. Additionally, we showed that upon HER3 knockdown, cetuximab combined with lapatinib was able to decrease cell viability compared to HER3 expressing cells. These results suggest the existence of a cetuximab-induced feedback HER3 activation that could potentially result in reduced cetuximab efficacy in colorectal cancer patients. Taken together, we provide evidence of the limited effectiveness of cetuximab monotherapy compared to rational combinations.

Abstract
ErbB-2 amplification/overexpression accounts for an aggressive breast cancer (BC) subtype (ErbB-2-positive). Enhanced ErbB-2 expression was also found in gastric cancer (GC) and has been correlated with poor clinical outcome. The ErbB-2-targeted therapies trastuzumab (TZ), a monoclonal antibody, and lapatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, have proved highly beneficial. However, resistance to such therapies remains a major clinical challenge. We here revealed a novel mechanism underlying the antiproliferative effects of both agents in ErbB-2-positive BC and GC. TZ and lapatinib ability to block extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT in sensitive cells inhibits c-Myc activation, which results in upregulation of miR-16. Forced expression of miR-16 inhibited in vitro proliferation in BC and GC cells, both sensitive and resistant to TZ and lapatinib, as well as in a preclinical BC model resistant to these agents. This reveals miR-16 role as tumor suppressor in ErbB-2-positive BC and GC. Using genome-wide expression studies and miRNA target prediction algorithms, we identified cyclin J and far upstream element-binding protein 1 (FUBP1) as novel miR-16 targets, which mediate miR-16 antiproliferative effects. Supporting the clinical relevance of our results, we found that high levels of miR-16 and low or null FUBP1 expression correlate with TZ response in ErbB-2-positive primary BCs. These findings highlight a potential role of miR-16 and FUBP1 as biomarkers of sensitivity to TZ therapy. Furthermore, we revealed miR-16 as an innovative therapeutic agent for TZ- and lapatinib-resistant ErbB-2-positive BC and GC.

Abstract
This meta-analysis compared the efficiency and safety of lapatinib and trastuzumab, alone or in combination, administered with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. For dichotomous variables, the relative risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to investigate outcome measures: pathological complete response (pCR), neutropenia, diarrhea, dermatologic toxicity, and congestive heart failure (CHF). Eight randomized controlled trials of 2350 participants (837 receiving lapatinib, 913 trastuzumab, and 555 combination therapy) were selected to compare the efficiency and safety of lapatinib to trastuzumab. A significant difference was found between lapatinib and trastuzumab for pCR (RR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.73-0.93; Z = 3.00; P = 0.003). In six studies, a significant difference was found between trastuzumab and combination therapy for pCR (RR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.18-1.50; Z = 4.70; P < 0.00001), diarrhea (RR = 14.59, 95% CI: 7.69-27.67; Z = 8.20; P < 0.00001), and dermatologic toxicity (RR = 3.10, 95% CI: 1.61-5.96; Z = 3.39; P = 0.007), but none was found for neutropenia (RR = 1.38, 95% CI: 0.82-2.31; Z = 1.22; P = 0.22) or CHF (RR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.02-1.17; Z = 1.02; P = 0.07). Combination therapy compared to trastuzumab alone increases the pCR rate of HER2-positive breast cancer patients with no additional cardiac events. Trastuzumab, which is still the first-line therapy in breast cancer, increases the pCR rate more than lapatinib.
