Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Choroid plexus tumours represent less than 1% of brain tumours. Low-grade papilloma may be treated with gross total surgical resection, while in disseminated progressive atypical choroid plexus papilloma (APP), there is no standard treatment: various chemotherapy regimens have been reported. Since this tumour is characterized by a rich vascular component, antiangiogenic therapy is an attractive treatment. The use of Bevacizumab has already been reported in three patients. Authors expand this experience with 5 further patients diagnosed with progressive APP treated with bevacizumab.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Patients were recruited through the weekly Adolescent Young Adult French web conference. They have been treated with bevacizumab 10 mg/kg by intravenous injection each 2 to 3 weeks. Their clinical status and radiological response are reported: Karnofsky Index (KI), Pain Scale (PS) and RANO criteria were used.
RESULTS
All our patients had a progressive disease prior to bevacizumab. Pt 1: 41 years old; APP with cranio-spinal dissemination; Previous treatments: local and cranio-spinal irradiation in 2012 and in 2014; surgery: complete and partial resection in 2010, 2014, and VP shunt in 2018; Bevacizumab: total of 33 cures in 18 months. Result: radiological and clinical stabilization. Pt 2: 58 years old; APP with cranio-spinal dissemination; Previous treatments: surgery: VP shunt and gross total resection, in 2006; VP shunt, in 2011. Bevacizumab: total of 4 cures, in 2 months. Result: radiological and clinical stabilization. Pt 3: 34 years old; APP with cranio-spinal dissemination; Previous treatments: surgery: gross total resection, in 1992, and shunt in 2008. Bevacizumab: total of 21 cures, in 21 months. Result: radiological and clinical stabilization. Pt 4: 63 years old; APP with cranio-spinal dissemination; Previous treatments: surgery: surgical resection and VP shunt in 2013; chemotherapy: temozolomide. Bevacizumab: 29 months (still treated). Result: radiological and clinical stabilization. Pt 5: 62 years old; APP with cranio-spinal dissemination; Previous treatments: surgery: gross total resection in 1999 and VP shunt in 2009; chemotherapy: Carboplatin Vespesid. Bevacizumab: 23 cures, in 14 months. Result: radiological stabilization and clinical amelioration.
CONCLUSION
Despite their previous worsening disease, all patients obtained a stabilization or amelioration of their IK and PS under bevacizumab. Bevacizumab should be evaluated in a multicentric trial as standard therapy for disseminated metastasized progressive choroid plexus tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2013, the interim analysis of the Protocol for Herceptin as Adjuvant therapy with Reduced Exposure (PHARE) trial could not show that 6 months of adjuvant trastuzumab was non-inferior to 12 months. Here, we report the planned final analysis based on the prespecified number of occurring events. METHODS PHARE is an open-label, phase 3, non-inferiority randomised trial of patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer comparing 6 months versus 12 months of trastuzumab treatment concomitant with or following standard neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. The study was undertaken in 156 centres in France. Eligible patients were women aged 18 years or older with non-metastatic, operable, histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast and either positive axillary nodes or negative axillary nodes but a tumour of at least 10 mm. Participants must have received at least four cycles of a chemotherapy for this breast cancer and have started receiving adjuvant trastuzumab-treatment. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to either 6 months or 12 months of trastuzumab therapy duration between the third and sixth months of adjuvant trastuzumab. The randomisation was stratified by concomitant or sequential treatment with chemotherapy, oestrogen receptor status, and centre. The primary objective was non-inferiority in the intention-to-treat population in the 6-month group in terms of disease-free survival with a prespecified hazard margin of 1·15. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00381901. FINDINGS 3384 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to either 12 months (n=1691) or 6 months (n=1693) of adjuvant trastuzumab. One patient in the 12-month group and three patients in the 6-month group were excluded, so 1690 patients in each group were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. At a median follow-up of 7·5 years (IQR 5·3-8·8), 704 events relevant to disease-free survival were observed (345 [20·4%] in the 12-month group and 359 [21·2%] in the 6-month group). The adjusted hazard ratio for disease-free survival in the 12-month group versus the 6-month group was 1·08 (95% CI 0·93-1·25; p=0·39). The non-inferiority margin was included in the 95% CI. No differences in effects pertaining to trastuzumab duration were found in any of the subgroups. After the completion of trastuzumab treatment, rare adverse events occurred over time and the safety analysis remained similar to the previously published report. In particular, we found no change in the cardiac safety comparison, and only three additional cases in which the left ventricular ejection fraction decreased to less than 50% have been reported in the 12-month group. INTERPRETATION The PHARE study did not show the non-inferiority of 6 months versus 12 months of adjuvant trastuzumab. Hence, adjuvant trastuzumab standard duration should remain 12 months.

Abstract
1043 Background: For ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (mBC), efficacy of endocrine therapy + chemotherapy combination remain an open question. We hypothesized that continuing ER targeted therapy after progression in combination with chemotherapy may improve disease control. The objective of the CHEOPS trial was to assess the benefit of adding aromatase inhibitor (AI) to metronomic chemotherapy,oral vinorelbine, 50mg/3 time a week (OV) for AI pre-treated, ER+/HER2- mBC patients. Methods: Eligible patients had to have progressed on endocrine therapy and one or two lines of chemotherapy. They were randomized between vinorelbine (OV) and vinorelbine + AI (OV+AI). Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). To show an increase of median PFS (from 3.5 to 5.5 month, HR 0.636), with alpha = 5% and power = 80%, 130 evaluable patients were needed. Results: 121 patients were Included (OV = 61; OV+AI = 60). Median age was 68 (range: 49-87), Median time from metastatic diagnosis was 3.2 years (range 0 - 16.9). 109 patients (90%) had visceral metastases. They all had previously received an AI and had been treated with one line (N = 66, 54.5%), or 2 lines (N = 55, 45.5%) of chemotherapy. Median PFS was increased from 2.3 months with OV to 3.7 months with OV+AI, but this difference was not significant (HR 0.73 [95 % CI 0.50-1.06], log-rank test: P = 0.09) 81 patients (67%) had at least one adverse event (AE) of grade ≥ 3 (40 (66%) for OV vs 41 (68%) for OV+AI). The most common grade ≥ 3 AE were: GT gammas (23%), neutropenia (18%), arterial hypertension and lymphopenia (17%). The occurrence of 3 toxic deaths (OV = 1; OV+AI = 2) secondary to febrile aplasia motivated the early cessation of this clinical trial. 9 patients (5 OV (10%) and 4 OV+AI (8%) presented an objective complete or partial response. Conclusions: The addition of AI to OV over OV alone in AI resistant mBC was associated with a non-significant improvement of PFS, but both PFS are lower than expected. Metronomic OV schedule, at 50 mg three times a week, requires close biological monitoring. The question of hormonal treatment and chemotherapy combination remains open.

Abstract
5512 Background: Nintedanib, an oral inhibitor of VEGF-FGF-PDGF receptors, has been shown to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) when added to adjuvant chemotherapy after primary surgery (duBois A, Lancet Oncol 2015). CHIVA trial explored the role of nintedanib in combination with NACT. Methods: Patients (pts) with FIGO stage IIIC-IV chemotherapy-naive AEOC considered as unresectable after laparoscopic evaluation were randomized (2:1) to be treated with 3 to 4 cycles (cy) of carboplatin (AUC 5 mg/mL/min) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m²) (CP) before interval debulking surgery (IDS) followed by 2 to 3 cy of CP for a total of 6 cy, plus either 200 mg of Nin (armA) or placebo (armB) twice daily on days 2–21 q3week at cy 1&2, 5&6 and maintenance therapy for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was PFS. Results: Between Jan. 2013 and May 2015, 188 pts were included (124 arm A, 64 arm B) with a median Peritoneal Cancer Index of 22 (range 19-27). Pts characteristics were well balanced between both arms. Median PFS was 14.4 mos (95%CI 12.2-15.4) and 16.8 (13.3-21.4) in arm A and B respectively (HR:1.50, p=0.02). Median OS was 37.7 mos (29.8-41.0) and 44.1 (32.7-not reached) in arm A and B respectively (HR:1.54, p=0.053). Arm A was associated with more toxicity compared to arm B respectively (Grade 3&4 adverse events: 92 versus 71%), with increased early treatment discontinuation before the 3rd cy (14.5 vs 6.2%) & CP dose reduction (12% vs 0%). Pts in Arm A reported inferior RECIST ORR to pre-IDS therapy compared to Arm B (35.1 vs 55.9%). IDS was performed significantly less frequently in arm A (58.1%) vs arm B (76.6%). However among pts who underwent IDS, complete surgical cytoreduction rate (76%) and peri/postoperative complication rate (11.2%) were similar in both arms. Conclusions: The addition of nintedanib to NACT increases toxicity and compromise chemotherapy efficacy leading to a reduced rate of IDS and worse PFS and OS for advanced EOC patient. Clinical trial information: 2011-006288-23.

Abstract
5508 Background: The Geriatric Vulnerability Score (GVS) combining albumin, lymphocyte count, ADL, IADL and HADS scores has been reported (Falandry C Ann Oncol 2013) to identify vulnerable elderly OC patients (pts) as those with a GVS≥3. For such pts, Carboplatin (Cb) monotherapy or weekly Cb plus paclitaxel (Pa) are often proposed as an alternative to Cb-Pa given every 3 weeks. Methods: Pts ≥70 yrs with first line FIGO stage III/IV epithelial OC were screened for GVS. Those with GVS≥3 were randomized to receive either arm A: Cb AUC5-6 + Pa 175mg/m², d1q3week or arm B: Cb AUC5-6 d1q3week or arm C:weekly Cb AUC2 + Pa 60mg/m² d1-d8-d15 q4week. Primary endpoint is treatment feasibility defined as the ability to complete 6 chemotherapy courses without disease progression, early treatment stopping due to unacceptable toxicity or death. Inclusion of 240 pts was planned. Results: Among 444 screened pts, 120 were randomized from 12/2013 to 04/2017 (armA = B = C = 40). Pts characteristics were well balanced between arms A-B-C respectively: median age (79-82-80 yrs), FIGO stage IV (32-37-27%), primary surgery (65-72-70%), absence of macroscopic residuals (CC-0) (7-5-7%), ECOG≥2 (50-50-47%). Feasibility per protocol for arms A-B-C is 65%, 47% and 60% (p = 0.15). Main reasons for treatment arrest are treatment toxicity (A:20%; B:15%; C:22.5%; p = 0.771) and disease progression (A:7.5%; B:30%; C:2%; p = 0.004). Median PFS for arm A-B-C are 12.5 mos (95%CI 10.3-15.3), 4.8 (3.8-15.3) and 8.3 (6.6-15.3), respectively (p < 0.001) and median OS for arm A-B-C is not reached (NR) (21, NR), 7.4 (5.3-NR) and 17.3 (10.8-NR), respectively (p = 0.001). At the pre-planned intermediate analysis, the IDMC recommended to prematurely close the study as survival in armB was found significantly worse and the number of potential pts required to find a significant difference between both Cb-Pa regimens (arms A&C) was out of reach. Conclusions: Compared to 3-weekly and weekly Cb-Pa regimens, Cb single agent was reported to be less active with significant worse survival outcome in vulnerable elderly pts. In this population Cb-Pa combination remains a standard. Clinical trial information: NCT02001272.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data are available on long-term fatigue (LTF) and quality of life (QoL) among epithelial ovarian cancer survivors (EOCS). In this case-control study, we compared LTF, symptoms and several QoL domains in EOCS relapse-free ≥3 years after first-line treatment and age-matched healthy women. PATIENTS AND METHODS EOCS were recruited from 25 cooperative GINECO centers in France. Controls were randomly selected from the electoral rolls. All participants completed validated self-reported questionnaires: fatigue (FACIT-F), QoL (FACT-G/O), neurotoxicity (FACT-Ntx), anxiety/depression (HADS), sleep disturbance (ISI), and physical activity (IPAQ). Severe LTF (SLTF) was defined as a FACIT-F score <37/52. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to analyze SLTF and its influencing factors in EOCS. RESULTS A total of 318 EOCS and 318 controls were included. EOCS were 63-year-old on average, with FIGO stage I/II (50%), III/IV (48%); 99% had received platinum and taxane chemotherapy, with an average 6-year follow-up. There were no differences between the two groups in socio-demographic characteristics and global QoL. EOCS had poorer FACIT-F scores (40 versus 45, P < 0.0001), lower functional well-being scores (18 versus 20, P = 0.0002), poorer FACT-O scores (31 versus 34 P < 0.0001), and poorer FACT-Ntx scores (35 versus 39, P < 0.0001). They also reported more SLTF (26% versus 13%, P = 0.0004), poorer sleep quality (63% versus 47%, P = 0.0003), and more depression (22% versus 13%, P = 0.01). Fewer than 20% of EOCS and controls exercised regularly. In multivariate analyses, EOCS with high levels of depression, neurotoxicity, and sleep disturbance had an increased risk of developing SLTF (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Compared with controls, EOCS presented similar QoL but persistent LTF, EOC-related symptoms, neurotoxicity, depression, and sleep disturbance. Depression, neuropathy, and sleep disturbance are the main conditions associated with severe LTF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: TAK-228 is an investigational, oral and highly selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of TORC1/2. Targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway with the dual TORC1/2 inhibitor TAK-228 may restore sensitivity to endocrine therapies in patients (pts) with breast cancer who have progressed on the combination of an endocrine agent plus a TORC1 inhibitor. Here we report data from the phase 2 portion of a phase 1b/2 study of TAK-228 plus exemestane (E) or fulvestrant (F).
Methods: Postmenopausal women with ER+ and HER2-, inoperable or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) following everolimus (EVE) plus E or F after progression, received oral TAK-228 (4 mg QD) plus E (25 mg QD) or F (500 mg monthly) for 28-day cycles until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity (NCT02049957). Pts were enrolled into parallel cohorts based on prior response to EVE plus E or F and were given the same prior therapy (E or F) at their established dose: EVE-sensitive, defined as disease progression after complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or ≥6 mos stable disease (SD); or EVE-resistant, defined as disease progression without a CR or PR, or after <6 mos SD. Primary endpoint was clinical benefit rate at 16 wks (CR, PR, or SD at 16 wks; CBR-16). Secondary endpoints included CBR at 24 wks (CBR-24), overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety.
Results: From Oct 2015 to Dec 2017, 94 pts were enrolled. Median age was 58 y (range 32–83). At baseline, most pts (67%) had stage IV disease and others were stage IA–IIIC (24%), other (3%) or unknown (5%); 94% of EVE-sensitive (93% E vs 100% F) and 88% of EVE-resistant pts (91% E vs 75% F) had received ≥4 prior lines of therapy. Pts received a median of 3 cycles (1–15) of TAK-228. At data cutoff (24 Apr 2018), 98% of pts had discontinued treatment, mainly due to PD (76%) or adverse events (AEs; 14%). CBR-16 was 41% (n=21) in EVE-sensitive and 26% (n=11) in EVE-resistant pts (table). CBR-24 was 24% in EVE-sensitive (19% E vs 50% F) and 23% in EVE-resistant (23% E vs 25% F) pts. Eleven of 21 pts who achieved CBR-16 also achieved CBR-24 (6 SD, 5 PR) in the EVE-sensitive cohort and 8 of 11 pts in the EVE-resistant cohort (6 SD, 2 PR). The ORR was 12% in EVE-sensitive pts and 9% in EVE-resistant pts (table). Median PFS (95% CI) was 4.1 mos (2.2–5.5) and 3.4 mos (1.9–5.4), and median OS (95% CI) was 15.9 mos (14.1–19.5) and 14.0 mos (13.0–16.0) in the EVE-sensitive and -resistant cohorts, respectively. Drug-related any grade and grade ≥3 AEs were seen in 90% and 29% of pts, respectively. Most common drug-related any grade AEs were nausea (50%), fatigue (38%), hyperglycemia and diarrhea (each 29%); 22% of pts reported a serious AE. No deaths were reported. Treatment is ongoing in two pts.
Conclusion: TAK-228 plus E or F showed modest clinical benefit in pts with previously treated, EVE-sensitive or -resistant MBC, with an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract
Importance There is an unmet medical need for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, and new approaches are needed to improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival. Objective This phase 1/2 study evaluated the activity of alisertib in combination with weekly paclitaxel in patients with breast (phase 1) and ovarian cancer (phase 1 and phase 2). Design, Setting, and Participants An open-label phase 1 and randomized phase 2 clinical trial conducted from April 16, 2010, for phase 1 and March 28, 2012, to August 12, 2013, for phase 2 was conducted at 33 sites (United States, France, and Poland). Data are reported from a cutoff date of August 12, 2014, with a median duration of follow-up of 7.2 months in the alisertib plus paclitaxel arm and 4.6 months in the paclitaxel arm. A total of 191 women with advanced breast (phase 1 only) or recurrent ovarian cancer were enrolled, including 142 patients randomized to alisertib plus paclitaxel (n = 73) or paclitaxel alone (n = 69) in the phase 2 study. Interventions Patients were randomized 1:1 stratified by platinum-free interval (refractory, 0-6 months, 6-12 months) and prior weekly taxane treatment (yes, no) to receive alisertib 40 mg twice per day orally and 3 days on and 4 days off for 3 weeks, plus paclitaxel (60 mg/m2 intravenously, days 1, 8, and 15), or weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 intravenously in 28-day cycles. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary endpoint was PFS; primary efficacy analysis and safety analysis used modified intention to treat (mITT) population (all randomized patients who received ≥1 dose of study drug). Results The median age for the 191 patients enrolled in phase 1 was 59 (range, 29-75) years. The median age for the 142 patients enrolled in phase 2 was 63 (range, 30-81) years for patients receiving alisertib plus paclitaxel and 61 (range, 41-81) years for patients receiving paclitaxel. At data cutoff, 107 (75%) patients had a documented PFS event; 52 (71%) in the alisertib plus paclitaxel arm, and 55 (80%) in the paclitaxel arm. Median PFS was 6.7 months with alisertib plus paclitaxel vs 4.7 months with paclitaxel (HR, 0.75; 80% CI, 0.58-0.96; P = .14; 2-sided P value cutoff = .20 to be considered worthy of further investigation). Drug-related grade 3 or higher adverse events were reported in 63 (86%) vs 14 (20%) patients in the alisertib plus paclitaxel and paclitaxel arms, including 56 (77%) vs 7 (10%) neutropenia, 18 (25%) vs 0 stomatitis, and 10 (14%) vs 2 (3%) anemia; 54 (74%) vs 17 (25%) had adverse events leading to dose reductions. Two patients died during the study (1 in each arm); neither death was considered related to study drug. Conclusions and Relevance The primary endpoint, PFS, significantly favored alisertib plus paclitaxel over paclitaxel alone. Further investigation is warranted. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01091428.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 only explain the underlying genetic cause of about 10% of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families. Because of cost‐effectiveness, multigene panel testing is often performed even if the clinical utility of testing most of the genes remains questionable. The purpose of our study was to assess the contribution of rare, deleterious‐predicted variants in DNA repair genes in familial breast cancer (BC) in a well‐characterized and homogeneous population. We analyzed 113 DNA repair genes selected from either an exome sequencing or a candidate gene approach in the GENESIS study, which includes familial BC cases with no BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and having a sister with BC (N = 1,207), and general population controls (N = 1,199). Sequencing data were filtered for rare loss‐of‐function variants (LoF) and likely deleterious missense variants (MV). We confirmed associations between LoF and MV in PALB2, ATM and CHEK2 and BC occurrence. We also identified for the first time associations between FANCI, MAST1, POLH and RTEL1 and BC susceptibility. Unlike other associated genes, carriers of an ATM LoF had a significantly higher risk of developing BC than carriers of an ATM MV (ORLoF = 17.4 vs. ORMV = 1.6; pHet = 0.002). Hence, our approach allowed us to specify BC relative risks associated with deleterious‐predicted variants in PALB2, ATM and CHEK2 and to add MAST1, POLH, RTEL1 and FANCI to the list of DNA repair genes possibly involved in BC susceptibility. We also highlight that different types of variants within the same gene can lead to different risk estimates. What's new? Pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 only explain the genetic cause of about 10% of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families, and the clinical usefulness of testing other genes following the recent introduction of cost‐effective multigene panel sequencing in diagnostics laboratories remains questionable. This large case‐control study describes genetic variation in 113 DNA repair genes and specifies breast cancer relative risks associated with rare deleterious‐predicted variants in PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2. Importantly, different types of variants within the same gene can lead to different risk estimates. The results may help improve risk prediction models and define gene‐specific consensus management guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac toxicity with a decrease of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the main side effect induced by trastuzumab. This study reports the fluctuation of LVEF over the 12 months of adjuvant trastuzumab in PHARE trial (NCT00381901). METHODS LVEF assessment was performed every 3 months while patients received trastuzumab and after completion of treatment over the first 2 years and then every 6 months afterwards. The fluctuations of LVEF over time were described and a logistic regression model was performed investigating associated factors to LVEF perfect recovery at baseline value. RESULTS A total of 1631 patients who received 12 months of trastuzumab from PHARE trial, were considered in the analysis. A total of 13 881 LVEF measurements were assessed. Baseline mean LVEF was 66.08% (standard error (SE): 0.15) and the mean relative LVEF decrease observed at 12-month was 3.61% (SE: 0.31). No clinical characteristic was significantly associated to LVEF fluctuation. After completion of trastuzumab, the relative difference progressively disappeared with beyond 30 months a relative difference value of 0.08% (SE: 0.42). Nevertheless, at 30 months, 48.53% of patients with available measures (379/781) did not fully recover their baseline LVEF value. CONCLUSION The LVEF decreased during treatment with trastuzumab and rose up after the completion of treatment without coming back to the initial values for a substantial subset. These results would suggest investigating some strategies aimed to improve the ability to achieve a full recovery.

Abstract
Recent studies have linked constitutive telomere length (TL) to aging-related diseases including cancer at different sites. ATM participates in the signaling of telomere erosion, and inherited mutations in ATM have been associated with increased risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer. The goal of this study was to investigate whether carriage of an ATM mutation and TL interplay to modify cancer risk in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) families.The study population consisted of 284 heterozygous ATM mutation carriers (HetAT) and 174 non-carriers (non-HetAT) from 103 A-T families. Forty-eight HetAT and 14 non-HetAT individuals had cancer, among them 25 HetAT and 6 non-HetAT were diagnosed after blood sample collection. We measured mean TL using a quantitative PCR assay and genotyped seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) recurrently associated with TL in large population-based studies.HetAT individuals were at increased risk of cancer (OR = 2.3, 95%CI = 1.2-4.4, P = 0.01), and particularly of breast cancer for women (OR = 2.9, 95%CI = 1.2-7.1, P = 0.02), in comparison to their non-HetAT relatives. HetAT individuals had longer telomeres than non-HetAT individuals (P = 0.0008) but TL was not associated with cancer risk, and no significant interaction was observed between ATM mutation status and TL. Furthermore, rs9257445 (ZNF311) was associated with TL in HetAT subjects and rs6060627 (BCL2L1) modified cancer risk in HetAT and non-HetAT women.Our findings suggest that carriage of an ATM mutation impacts on the age-related TL shortening and that TL per se is not related to cancer risk in ATM carriers. TL measurement alone is not a good marker for predicting cancer risk in A-T families.

Abstract
This study aims to estimate the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and to compare disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between pCR and non-pCR groups of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. We carried out a retrospective analysis of 53 patients including 46 BRCA1, 6 BRCA2, and 1 combined BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation. All patients had been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) between 1997 and 2014. Neo-adjuvant therapy consisted of regimens that were based on anthracycline or an anthracycline-taxane doublet. DFS included any relapse or second cancer. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used to compare pCR and non-pCR groups. A pCR was observed in 23 (42.6% [95% CI, 29.2%-56.8%]) of the TNBC included. The pCR rate was 38.3% [95% CI, 26%-55%] among BRCA1 mutation carriers, and 66% among the 6 BRCA2 mutation carriers. Median follow-up was 4.4 years (range 0.62-16.2 years) and did not differ between the groups (P = .25). Fifteen relapses and six second cancers were recorded during the follow-up period. Eleven deaths occurred, all of which were in the non-pCR group. DFS (P < .01) and OS (P < .01) were significantly better in the pCR group than the non-pCR group. This study shows a high pCR rate after neo-adjuvant therapy in BRCA-mutated triple-negative breast cancer, and the survival results confirm the prognostic value of pCR in this group. These outcomes should be considered as a basis of comparison to be used by future studies about new therapies in this domain.

Abstract
HannaH (NCT00950300) and PrefHer (NCT01401166) studies validated the subcutaneous (H-s.c.) formulation of trastuzumab as effective and safe as intravenous (H-i.v.) and highly preferred by patients in early breast cancer. The present randomised MetaspHer trial (NCT01810393) is the first study assessing patient's preference in metastatic setting. METHODS Patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who completed a first line chemotherapy with trastuzumab and achieved a long-term response lasting more than 3 years were randomised to receive 3 cycles of 600-mg fixed-dose adjuvant H-s.c., followed by 3 cycles of standard H-i.v., or the reverse sequence. Primary end-point was overall preference for H-s.c. or H-i.v. at cycle six, assessed by Patient Preference Questionnaire (PPQ). Secondary end-points included healthcare professional (HCP) satisfaction; safety and tolerability; quality of life. RESULTS Hundred and thirteen patients were randomised and treated. H-s.c. was preferred by 79/92 evaluable intent-to-treat patients (85.9%, 95% confidence interval [CI; 78.8-93.0]; p < 0.001), 13/92 preferred H-i.v. (14.1%, 95% CI [7.0-21.3]). HCPs were most satisfied with H-s.c. (56/88 available data, 63.6%, [53.6-73.7]). On the safety population, adverse events occurred in 73 (67.6%) and 49 (44.1%) patients during the H-s.c. and H-i.v. periods, respectively; 7 (6.5%) and 4 (3.6%) were grade ≥ III, 3 (2.8%) and 2 (1.8%) were serious. CONCLUSION The safety was consistent with the known H-i.v. and H-s.c. profiles without safety concern raised. Definitively, patients preferred H-s.c. as reported in early stage by PrefHer study.
