[PMID: 38664288 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-024-07302-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Despite previous studies proposing shorter durations of anti-HER2 therapy for selected patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC), 12-months remains standard of care. A survey was performed to assess patient perspectives and willingness to participate in studies evaluating shorter durations of anti-HER2 therapy. METHODS Patients with HER2-positive EBC completing or having previously completed anti-HER2 therapy, were recruited by healthcare professionals at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre to participate in an anonymous online survey. The primary objective was to learn about patients' perspectives on shorter durations (less than 12-months) of anti-HER2 therapy. Secondary objectives were to explore patients' interest in clinical trials of shorter durations of anti-HER2 therapy and the degree of increased breast cancer risk they would accept with a shorter treatment duration. RESULTS Responses were received from 94 eligible patients. Most patients received Trastuzumab alone (78%, 73/94), while 13% (12/94) received trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Side effects were experienced by 52% (46/89), the most common being; fatigue (61%, 28/46), myalgia (37%, 17/46), and diarrhea (24%, 11/46). Most patients (88%, 78/89) did not find treatment bothersome. Regarding perspectives on shorter durations of anti-HER2 therapy, most (79%, 74/94) respondents stated they would agree to less treatment if it were possible to receive fewer treatments with the same cancer benefits. 56% of patients were interested in clinical trials, however, about half stated they would not be accepting of any increase in breast cancer recurrence risk. CONCLUSION Trials to investigate who can safely and effectively be treated with shorter durations of anti-HER2 therapy are needed. This study provides important insights to patients' perspectives on shorter durations of anti-HER2 treatment, and their concerns regarding potential increased cancer risk with less treatment.

Involvement of kallikrein-PAR2-proinflammatory pathway in severe trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity. Cancer Sci 2022; 113:3449-3462.

Abstract
Trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity interferes with continued treatment in approximately 10% of patients with ErbB2‐positive breast cancer, but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we recruited trastuzumab‐treated patients with ≥30% reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (SP) and noncardiotoxic patients (NP). From each of these patients, we established three cases of induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes (pt‐iPSC‐CMs). Reduced contraction and relaxation velocities following trastuzumab treatment were more evident in SP pt‐iPSC‐CMs than NP pt‐iPSC‐CMs, indicating the cardiotoxicity phenotype could be replicated. Differences in ATP production, reactive oxygen species, and autophagy activity were observed between the two groups. Analysis of transcripts revealed enhanced kallikrein5 expression and pro‐inflammatory signaling pathways, such as interleukin‐1β, in SP pt‐iPSC‐CMs after trastuzumab treatment. The kallilkrein5‐protease‐activated receptor 2 (PAR2)‐MAPK signaling pathway was more activated in SP pt‐iPSC‐CMs, and treatment with a PAR2‐antagonist suppressed interleukin‐1β expression. Our data indicate enhanced pro‐inflammatory responses through kallikrein5‐PAR2 signaling and vulnerability to external stresses appear to be the cause of trastuzumab‐induced cardiotoxicity in SP.

Abstract
Background Anti-HER2 therapy has evolved in the last years and an important role in this transformation was that of monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Considering their extended use in clinical practice, some toxicity problems have been highlighted around these drugs. Objective To analyze the onset of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to the use of HER2-positive breast cancer treatments through a spontaneous reporting system (SRS) database. Methods All ADR reports having as suspected drug trastuzumab, pertuzumab, lapatinib, or trastuzumab emtansine (TDM-1), recorded into the Report Reazioni Avverse dei Medicinali (RAM) system database for national data and into the Italian SRS database for Sicilian data and collected from 2006 to 2020 have been evaluated. A descriptive analysis of basal demographic and drug-related characteristics was performed. A case-by-case methodology was conducted paying particular attention to the serious ADR reports collected in Sicily, focusing on type of seriousness, age, sex, concomitant drugs, comorbidities, time to onset (TTO), and time to resolution (TTR). Results Of the 3609 Italian reports, 65.6% were related to trastuzumab (n = 2367), followed by pertuzumab, TDM-1, and lapatinib. Almost all reports occurred in female patients (94.3%) and were most frequent in the age group 18–65 years (69.6%). A higher number of cases were related to general disorders and administration site conditions (n = 1079; 29.9%), gastrointestinal disorders (n = 1037; 28.7%), skin disorders (n = 821; 22.7%), and blood disorders (n = 599; 16.6%). Cases involving trastuzumab and pertuzumab mainly reported general disorders (n = 788; 33.3% and n = 194; 32.1%, respectively) while more than half of the reports associated with lapatinib were related to gastrointestinal (n = 184; 59.7%) and skin diseases (n = 146; 47.4%). Regarding TDM-1, 40% of reports had at least one ADR belonging to blood and lymphatic system disorders. The case-by-case assessment of Sicilian ADR reports showed that 40 cases were serious (33.3%), with a median TTO of 37 (6–97) days. Serious ADR reports mainly involved the onset of thrombocytopenia (n = 8; 20.0%), diarrhea (n = 6; 15.0%), asthenia and cardiac failure (both with n = 5; 12.5%), vomiting, hypersensitivity, and ejection fraction decreased (all with n = 4; 10.0%) and stomatitis (n = 3: 7.5%). Conclusion This study is fundamentally consistent with results from the literature. Given the serious clinical condition of breast cancer and taking into account the importance of preventing some clinically relevant ADRs related to the use of anti-HER2 therapy, further analyses are essential to better describe the safety profile of these target therapies.

Abstract
Background: Trastuzumab is associated with the risk of cardiotoxicity. Here, we aim to explore interventions for preventing trastuzumab-related cardiotoxic effects in breast cancer patients. Methods: A systematic review was performed including trials of breast cancer patients with intervention to prevent cardiotoxicity of trastuzumab. Trials were searched through databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Results: Eight RCTs were included. Five trials reported the outcomes of short-duration interventions, including 6-month and 9-week durations, and only 9-week treatment has a significant difference from the 12-month group (OR 0.38; 95% CI 0.18–0.83) using cardiotoxicity as the outcome. However, 6-month treatment turned out to yield less occurrence of trastuzumab discontinuation (OR 0.32; 95% CI 0.24–0.42). Three trials reported interventions of cardioprotective drugs, and there is no significant difference shown in any cardioprotective group compared with placebo (cardiotoxicity outcome: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor: OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.057–2.3; angiotensin receptor blocker: OR 1.3; 95% CI 0.12–14; β-blocker: OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.057–2.3; trastuzumab interruption outcome: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor: OR 0.45; 95% CI 0.12–1.3; angiotensin receptor blocker: OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.15–4.8; β-blocker: OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.11–1.2). Conclusion: Only the 9-week group has a significant difference from the 12-month group using cardiotoxicity as the outcome. And 6-month treatment turned out to yield less occurrence of trastuzumab discontinuation. The use of cardioprotective drugs failed to prevent trastuzumab-related cardiotoxic effects in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data are available about real-life cardiotoxicity associated with s.c. versus i.v. trastuzumab treatment of early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer, and little is known about its predisposing factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data of 363 adult patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer. Univariate statistical analysis was performed, and a multivariable logistic model was developed to identify independent risk factors of cardiac toxicity. RESULTS Within 5 years, the overall incidence of events meeting our criteria was 11.8%, and an early discontinuation of trastuzumab was recorded in 20 patients (5.5%). No cases of congestive heart failure occurred, neither multiple events per patient were observed. A total of 184 patients received i.v. and 179 received s.c. trastuzumab. Compared with the s.c. formulation, a higher cardiotoxicity rate for the i.v. administration (15.2% vs 8.4%) was found, and particularly in those patients with cardiovascular risk factors (19.3% vs 8.7%), at the univariate and multivariate analyses. Although more patients with prior anthracycline-based chemotherapy experienced cardiac events, the association of this therapy with cardiac events was not significant. The incidence of cardiac events was not influenced by anthropometric data (e.g. body mass index) or a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. 5-year event-free survival was 91.7% in the overall population; event-free survival rates were similar between the s.c. and the i.v. groups. CONCLUSION Our study shows a more favorable safety profile of s.c. versus i.v trastuzumab administration. The use of s.c. trastuzumab could be advisable in at-risk patients.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Improvements in cancer survival have led to the emergence of cardiovascular disease as an important determinant of adverse outcome in survivors. Cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction is the most well-known form of cardiotoxicity. However, newer cancer therapies bring a broader range of cardiotoxicities. The optimal method to identify patients at risk of these complications is unclear, but circulating biomarkers comprise one possible approach. Troponins and natriuretic peptides have garnered the broadest evidence base for cardiotoxicity risk prediction, but other markers are being investigated. In this review, we explore evidence for circulating biomarkers in cardiotoxicity prediction associated with cancer therapies.
