  1. ASCO 2012: Breast Cancer Updates Hope S. Rugo, MD Professor of Medicine Director, Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials Education UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center

  2. Outline • What’s new in the treatment of HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer? • Emilia - TDM1 compared to lapatinib/capecitabine • Blackwell et al, #LBA1 • MA.31 - Is lapatinib as good or better than trastuzumab? • Gelmon et al, #LBA671 • NSABP B-41 – lapatinib as neoadjuvant therapy • Robidoux et al, #LBA506 • Do bisphosphonates improve breast cancer outcome? • MA.27 – Impact of osteoporosis and osteoporosis therapy • Sheperd et al, #501 • AZURE – impact in postmenopausal women • Marshal, Coleman et al, #502

  3. Outline (2) • DCIS • RTOG 9804 - does everyone with DCIS need radiation? • McCormick et al, #1004 • Evaluating chemotherapy combinations, doses • NSABP B-38 – adding gemcitabine, sequential versus combination chemotherapy in early stage disease? • Swain et al, #LBA1000 • CALGB 40502 – comparing microtubule toxins in the metastatic setting • Rugo et al, #CRA1002 • What is the role of maintenance chemotherapy for patients with metastatic disease? • Im et al, #1003 • Can we target the androgen receptor in TNBC? • Gucalp et al, #1006

  4. HER2 Positive MBC • The problem • Despite high response rates, almost all patients eventually develop progressive disease • How can we overcome resistance that we don’t understand? • Data before pertuzumab and T-DM1: • Start with trastuzumab + chemotherapy/hormone rx • Continue HER2 directed therapy through progression • Capecitabine/lapatinib > capecitabine (Geyer et al) • Capecitabine/trastuzumab > capecitabine (von Minckwitz et al) • Lapatinib/trastuzumab > lapatinib (Blackwell et al)

  5. T-DM1: Dual Mechanisms of Action Combined Targeted Therapy Trastuzumab Biologic Activity • Targeted Intracellular Delivery of DM1a • Blocks downstream HER2 signaling to inhibit proliferation of tumor cells • Flags HER2-positive tumor cells for destruction via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity • Inhibits HER2 shedding • T-DM1 binds to the HER2 receptor and is internalized • DM1 is released inside the cell, resulting in mitotic arrest and apoptosis • Systemic toxicity is limited due to low HER2 expression in normal tissues aDM1 is 25–500 fold more potent than taxanein cytotoxic assays.

  6. T-DM1 selectively delivers DM1 to HER2-positive tumor cells • Targeted intracellular delivery of a potent antimicrotubule agent, DM1 • Spares normal tissue from toxicity of free DM1 • Trastuzumab-like activity by binding to HER2 T-DM1 binds to the HER2 protein on cancer cells HER2 Receptor-T-DM1 complex is internalized into HER2-positive cancer cell Potent antimicrotubule agent is released once inside the HER2-positivetumor cell

  7. PDa PDa Phase II Randomized International Open Label Studyb • Stratification factors: World region, prior adjuvant trastuzumab therapy, disease-free interval • Primary end points: PFS by investigator assessment, and safety • Data analyses were based on clinical data cut of Nov 15, 2010 prior to T-DM1 crossover • Key secondary end points: OS, ORR, DOR, CBR, and QOL • Demographics imbalanced: 29 vs 34 % stage IV at diagnosis, 27 vs 18% exposed to prior trastuzumab, 40 vs 33% exposed to prior taxanes HER2-positive, recurrent locally advanced breast cancer or MBC (N=137) First line setting T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg q3w IV (n=67) 1:1 Trastuzumab 8 mg/kg loading dose; 6 mg/kg q3w IV + Docetaxel 75 or 100 mg/m2 q3w (n=70) Crossover to T-DM1 (optional) aPatients were treated until PD or unacceptable toxicity. bThis was a hypothesis generating study; the final PFS analysis was to take place after 72 events had occurred.

  9. Clinical Rationale for EMILIA • T-DM1 • Two single-arm phase 2 trials in patients who received ≥1 HER2-directed therapies for MBC • ORR: 25.9% (N=112)1 and 34.5% (N=110)2 • Capecitabine + lapatinib • Randomized phase 3 trial in patients who received prior trastuzumab • Median TTP longer with capecitabine + lapatinib (n=163) vs. capecitabine (n=161), no difference in OS • 8.4 vs. 4.4 months (HR=0.49; P<0.001)4 1Burris HA, et al. J Clin Oncol 2011; 2Krop I, et al. J Clin Oncol 2012; 3Hurvitz S, et al. ESMO 2011; 4Geyer CE, et al. N Engl J Med 2006.

  10. EMILIA Study Design T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg q3w IV • HER2+ (central) LABC or MBC (N=980) • Prior taxane and trastuzumab • Progression on metastatic tx or within 6 mos of adjuvant tx PD 1:1 Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally bid, days 1–14, q3w + Lapatinib 1250 mg/day orally qd PD • Stratification factors: World region, number of prior chemo regimens for MBC or unresectable LABC, presence of visceral disease • Primary end points: PFS by independent review, OS, and safety • Key secondary end points: PFS by investigator, ORR, duration of response, time to symptom progression Blackwell et al, ASCO 2011

  11. EMILIA - Demographics • 496 vs 495 randomized • Median age 53, 27% from U.S. • Prior therapy • All treated with prior taxane • 16% received prior trastuzumab for early stage disease • 57% received at least one year of prior trastuzumab, 88% prior treatment for MBC • 79% measurable disease, 53-57% HR+

  12. Progression-Free Survival by Independent Review Subroup analysis: TDM1 superior regardless of line of therapy (1-3) and HR status No. at risk by independent review: Cap + Lap 496 404 310 176 129 73 53 35 25 14 9 8 5 1 0 0 T-DM1 495 419 341 236 183 130 101 72 54 44 30 18 9 3 1 0 Unstratified HR=0.66 (P<0.0001).

  13. Overall Survival: Interim Analysis Unstratified HR=0.63 (P=0.0005). NR=not reached.

  14. Objective Response Rate (ORR) and Duration of Response (DOR) in Patients with Measurable Disease DOR ORR

  15. Overview of Adverse Events aCap + Lap: CAD, multiorgan failure, coma, hydrocephalus, ARDS; aT-DM1: metabolic encephalopathy. bEvaluable pts: 445 (Cap + Lap); 481 (T-DM1). • Cap and Lap: More grade 3 diarrhea (21 vs 1.6%), hand foot syndrome (16 vs 0%) • TDM1: More transaminiitis (4 vs 1%), grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (13 vs 0%)

  16. Summary and Ongoing Trials • T-DM1 superior to cap/lap • PFS, interim OS, response, safety • Will clearly be a new standard in this setting • Approval expected towards the end of 2012 • Marianne (n=1092, untreated HER2+ MBC) • Three arms • Trastuzumab + taxane • TDM1 + pertuzumab • TDM1 plus placebo • Th3RESA (n=795) • Prior trastuzumab/lapatinib/anthra/taxane/cape • 2:1 randomization to TDM1 v TPC

  17. Early Stage Trials • Post-neoadjuvant cooperative group • Neoadjuvant company sponsored • Adjuvant small tumors: ATTEMPT Trial • Tolaney PI (DFCI) Trastuzumab emtansine q 3 weeks x 17 N=375 3 Stage I BC HER2+ N=500 Randomize 3:1 Paclitaxel + Trastuzumab weekly x 12 Trastuzumab every 3 weeks x 13 N=125 1

  18. Two Questions • Can lapatinib overcome trastuzumab resistance? • Doesn’t require externalized receptor • Can this agent overcome resistance mediated by alterations of the PI3K pathway? • Can dual targeting of the HER2 Receptor overcome resistance more effectively? • Maintains benefits of trastuzumab while targeting the pathway through an alternate mechansim

  27. Clinical Context • What does this data mean to our clinical practice? • TDM-1 is a new and effective treatment for HER2+ metastatic disease progressing on trastuzumab • Toxicities are unique but generally well tolerated • Likely to be FDA approved by the end of the year • Pertuzumab approved in the first-line setting in combination with trastuzumab/docetaxel (PFS 18.5 mo.) • Lapatinib is associated with more toxicity and less efficacy than trastuzumab in the first-line metastatic setting • Lapatinib/capecitabine is still an option for later line therapy or in special settings (low EF (?), brain metastases) Pertuzumab/Trastuzumab/Taxane Pertuzumab/Trastuzumab Lapatinib/ Capecitabine ? TDM-1 Multiple drugs in clinical trials: inhibitors of mTOR, HSP90, TKs, vaccines

  28. Osteoporosis • Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mineral density. • The increased bone resorption associated with osteoporosis may provide fertile “soil” for cancer growth. • Will osteoporosis or therapy for osteoporosis affect outcome in patients with early stage breast cancer?

  30. Osteoporosis: 17% (1294) • Osteoporosis therapy: 36% (2711) • 116 (0.2%) took raloxifene prior to study • 39 started after randomization • Of those with osteoporosis • 85% (1101) took osteoporosis therapy • Of those taking osteoporosis therapy • 25.6% (1610) did not report osteoporosis Shepherd LE et al, ASCO 2012, #501

  31. EFS by Osteoporosis Therapy HR (Yes/No) = 0.70 p<.00001 Shepherd LE et al, ASCO 2012, #501

  32. Conclusions • Patients with self-reported osteoporosis and osteoporosis therapy had a lower incidence of breast cancer relapse • Patients receiving osteoporosis therapy, regardless of report of osteoporosis, had a lower incidence of relapse • Limitations • Self reporting • Variations in osteoporosis therapy and duration • Event rate (9.2%) and distant relapse rate low (4.1%)

  38. Conclusions • In this population of patients, primarily treated with adjuvant chemotherapy • No effect of zoledronate on breast cancer outcome in the unselected overall population • Suggestion of improved outcome in pts with >5 years of menopause, due to recurrence outside bone • Unplanned subset analysis of interest but not sufficient to influence patient care • Variable results in 7 published trials • Bisphosphonates should be used to prevent or treat bone loss in patients with breast cancer • Bisphosphonates should not be used only for the purpose of preventing breast cancer recurrence • Ongoing studies are evaluating the impact of denosumab on breast cancer outcome in women with early stage disease • D-Care, ABCSG-18 • UCSF phase II trial in pts with DTCs

  39. RTOG 9804: Does Good Risk DCIS Always Need Radiation? • Common disease, low long-term risk • Primary goal of treatment is to prevent invasive IBTR • Clearly variable risk exist based on biology, age, extent of disease • We have transitioned from mastectomy to lumpectomy and radiation with essentially equivalent outcomes • Does everyone need radiation?

Yes N=585 Arm 1 Observation ± tamoxifen, 20 mg per day for 5 years Arm 2 Radiation therapy to the whole breast, ± tamoxifen, 20 mg per day for 5 years • Results at 5 years • Local failure in ipsilateral breast • 3.2 vs 0.4% • HR 0.14, p=0.0022 • 15 vs 2 events • DFS • Identical • HR 0.84, p=0.48 McCormick et al, #1004

  41. Summary • In patients with good risk DCIS, the addition of radiation • Added little to local control • Added nothing to survival • Use of genomic tests, such as the GH DCIS score, may help refine treatment decisions • Longer follow-up of this trial will be interesting.
