Abstract

CTC characterization by a 16-gene profile identified from previously published CTC-specific genes detected poor prognosis metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. In multivariate analysis, the CTC profile was the only factor significantly associated with outcome. While validation in an independent patient set did not reach significance, our profile underlines the potential of CTC characterization.Background A circulating tumor cell (CTC) count is an established prognostic factor in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Besides enumeration, CTC characterization promises to improve outcome prediction and treatment guidance. Having shown the feasibility of quantifying clinically relevant mRNA transcripts in CTCs, we determined the prognostic value of CTC gene expression in MBC. Patients and methods CTCs were isolated and enumerated from blood of 197 MBC patients who were about to start first-line systemic therapy. Of these, 180 were assessable for quantification of mRNA expression by RT-qPCR in relation to time-to-treatment failure (TTF). A prognostic CTC gene profile was generated by leave-one-out cross validation in a 103 patient discovery set and validated in 77 patients. Additionally, all 180 patients were randomly divided into two equal sets to discover and validate a second prognostic profile. Results CTC count predicted for TTF at baseline {≥5 versus <5 CTCs/7.5 ml blood, hazard ratio (HR) 2.92 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.71–4.95] P < 0.0001}. A 16-gene CTC profile was generated in the first discovery set, which identified patients with death or TTF <9 months versus those with a better outcome. In multivariate analysis, the 16-gene profile was the only factor associated with TTF [HR 3.15 (95% CI 1.35–7.33) P 0.008]. Validation of this profile in the independent patient set pointed into the same direction, but was not statistically significant. A newly generated 8-gene profile showed similarly favorable test characteristics as the 16-gene profile, but did not significantly pass validation either. Conclusion A 16-gene CTC profile was identified, which provided prognostic value on top of CTC count in MBC patients. However, validation of this profile in an independent cohort, nor of a second profile, reached statistical significance, underscoring the need to further fine-tune the still promising approach of CTC characterization.

Abstract

Aim To assess the safety and tolerability of adjuvant subcutaneous trastuzumab (Herceptin ® SC, H SC), delivered from an H SC Vial via hand-held syringe (Cohort A) or single-use injection device (Cohort B), with or without chemotherapy, for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive stage I to IIIC early breast cancer (EBC) in the phase III SafeHer study (NCT01566721). Methods Patients received 600 mg fixed-dose H SC every 3 weeks for 18 cycles. The chemotherapy partner was at the investigators' discretion (H SC monotherapy was limited to ≤10% of the population). Data from the first H SC dose until 28 days (plus a 5-day window) after the last dose are presented. Results are descriptive. Results In the overall population, 2282/2573 patients (88.7%) experienced adverse events (AEs). Of the above, 128 (5.0%) patients experienced AEs leading to study drug discontinuation; 596 (23.2%) experienced grade ≥ 3 AEs and 326 (12.7%) experienced serious AEs. Grade ≥ 3 cardiac disorders were reported in 24 patients (0.9%), including congestive heart failure in eight (0.3%). As expected, the AE rates varied according to the timing of chemotherapy in both cohorts, with higher rates in concurrent versus sequential chemotherapy subgroups. In the concurrent chemotherapy subgroup, AEs were more common during the actual period of concurrent chemotherapy compared with the period when patients did not receive concurrent chemotherapy. Conclusion SafeHer confirms the safety and tolerability of the H SC 600 mg fixed dose for 1 year (every 3 weeks for 18 cycles) as adjuvant therapy with concurrent or sequential chemotherapy for HER2-positive EBC. These primary analysis results are consistent with the known safety profile for intravenous H and H SC.
