Abstract P6-19-05: Clinical characteristics and survival of patients with male breast cancer: The Mayo Clinic experience

Background:

Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare, and usually managed by extrapolation from female breast cancer. We report on the characteristics and survival outcomes of MBC patients from Mayo Clinic Rochester (MCR).

Methods:

Medical records of MBC patients treated at MCR during a 25-year period (1990-2015) were reviewed. Demographic variables, tumor characteristics, recurrences, and overall survival (OS) were collected. Progression free survival (PFS) and OS were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox-proportional hazard regression was used to identify predictors of OS.

Results:

One hundred sixty-seven patients were included in the final analysis, with a median follow-up of 58 months after diagnosis. Baseline characteristics are presented in Table 1. Eighty percent of patients with ER-positive tumors received endocrine therapy. Among men with stage I-III disease, approximately 90% underwent mastectomy, and 44% received adjuvant chemotherapy.

The 5-year locoregional and distant recurrence rates for patients with stage I-III disease were 4.4% and 21.5%, respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS for patients with stage I-III disease were 65.5% and 80.1%, respectively. In a multivariate analysis assessing predictors of OS in patients with stage I-III disease, older age (HR 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02 – 1.09), stage II (HR 11.06; 95% CI: 3.84 – 31.85) or stage III disease (HR 14.74; 95% CI (3.99 – 54.45), and omission of surgery (HR 45.33; 95% CI: 3.97 – 517.32) were associated with poorer OS, while endocrine therapy (HR 0.21, 95% CI: 0.09 – 0.51) was associated with better OS. ER, PR, HER2 and grade were not independently prognostic.

The median OS for stage IV patients was 10 months, though this 11-man cohort was too small to allow assessment of prognostic factors in advanced male breast cancer.

Conclusions:

MBC remains an understudied condition. Prognostic factors in this stage I-III disease are consistent with those identified in other MBC retrospective cohorts. Prospective studies are needed to better understand the unique clinical features of MBC, and to improve outcomes, particularly for advanced disease.

Abstract P4-16-01: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of testosterone (T) for aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgias (AIA) in postmenopausal women: Alliance A221102

Background: Aromatase inhibitors are a mainstay hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treatment. AIA occur in up to 50% of patients (pts), adversely affecting quality of life and treatment compliance. A small phase II clinical trial of oral testosterone unedeconate appeared to improve AIA over placebo (P), with no significant androgenic side effects. The current study was performed to confirm these findings.

Methods: This randomized P-controlled trial enrolled postmenopausal women on adjuvant anastrozole or letrozole and experiencing moderate-to-severe AIA (≥5 on 0-10 scale). Pts were initially randomized to receive a subcutaneous pellet containing T 120 mg + anastrozole 8 mg (T+AIpellet) or P at the end of the first week on study (after obtaining baseline hot flash data) and at 3 months (mo). Due to slow accrual, the protocol was amended to change the route of delivery to topical T or P applied to the skin once daily for 6 mo. Baseline and monthly questionnaires were administered, including: Modified Brief Pain Inventory for aromatase arthralgia (BPI-AIA), prolife of mood states (POMS), the menopause specific quality of life questionnaire (MENQOL), a hot flash diary, the hot flash related daily interference scale (HFRDIS) and a symptom experience questionnaire. The primary endpoint was intra-patient change in joint pain at 3 mo, compared using a two-sample t-test.

Results: 227 pts were accrued between 9/1/2013-11/29/2017. 55 pts were randomized prior to the protocol amendment and received T+AIpellet or P. Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms, with the exceptions of median weight, BMI, hemoglobin (all higher in T arm), and breast tenderness, dissatisfaction with personal life/depression, and skin changes (all higher in P arm). Compared to baseline, there were no significant differences between T and P in average pain or joint stiffness at 3 (p=0.483) or 6 mo (p=0.573). Average pain was significantly lower each month compared to baseline, irrespective of treatment arm. There were no significant differences in any other items evaluated by BPI-AIA, POMS, MENQOL, hot flash diary or HFRDIS. Similarly, there were no substantial differences in toxicity. A subset analysis of the 55 pts randomized to receive T+AIpellet or P identified significant reductions in average pain scores with T+AIpellet during the first month (p=0.038), but not thereafter. T+AIpellet pts had significantly more reduction in reported % of baseline hot flash frequency (p=0.034) and score (p=0.031), nausea (p=0.019), fatigue (p=0.042), mood swings (p=0.026), hand/feet swelling (p=0.009), stress urinary incontinence (p=0.039) and changes in appearance, texture or tone of their skin (p=0.0083), than pts on P.

Conclusions: Overall, T did not improve AIA or menopausal symptoms compared to P. While there was significant improvement in AIA over the study period, T did not facilitate this process. However, T+AIpellet was associated with improvement in short-term AIA and several menopausal symptoms compared to P, suggesting that subcutaneous T combined with anastrozole may be superior to transdermal T alone.

Abstract P3-08-01: Characteristics, outcomes and prognostic factors of luminal androgen receptor (LAR) triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)

Background: The LAR subtype is a genomically distinct subset of TNBC. Using a large cohort of non-metastatic TNBC patients (pts) with long term follow-up, we sought to further characterize the clinicopathologic features and outcomes of LAR vs non-LAR TNBC.

Methods: From a cohort of 9982 women with surgically-treated non-metastatic breast cancer, 605 met criteria for TNBC (ER/PR<1% and HER2-negative) by central pathology. RNA extracted from 304 FFPE tumor specimens using the HighPure RNA extraction kit was subjected to TruSeq RNA Access library preparation and sequencing on a HiSeq2500. Adequate RNA was available for 283 pts. Tumors were classified as LAR or non-LAR using a shrunken centroid model, CABAL (Clustering Among BAsal and Luminal androgen receptor). In addition to previously described analyses [Leon-Ferre et al, Breast Cancer Res Treat 2017], immunohistochemical (IHC) androgen receptor (AR) staining was performed and the impact of various parameters on invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models.

Results: 58 (20%) tumors were classified as LAR and 225 (80%) as non-LAR. Compared to non-LAR, LAR pts were older (mean age 65 vs 54) and more often postmenopausal (79%vs53%), both p=0.01. Apocrine histology was more common among LAR tumors (21%vs0%), which were also lower grade (grade3: 69%vs95%) and had lower Ki-67 (Ki-67>15%: 64%vs82%), all p<0.01. Additionally, LAR tumors had lower median stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs, 20%vs25%) and were less frequently lymphocyte-predominant [≥50% stromal or intratumoral TILs (19%vs32%)], although neither reached statistical significance. AR IHC was available for 223 of 283 tumors. Median AR IHC score in LAR was 65% (range 0-100%) vs 0% (range 0-90%) in non-LAR. T/N stage, surgery type, and receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy (AdjCT) or radiotherapy were similar between LAR and non-LAR. LAR pts had shorter IDFS and OS compared to non-LAR (5.6 vs 11.8 yrs and 10.8 vs 20.8 yrs, respectively), although this did not reach statistical significance. Test of proportional hazard assumption was not significant for IDFS or OS (p = 0.30 and 0.09). IDFS estimates were numerically higher in LAR vs non-LAR (80.2%vs70.5%,p = 0.92) at 3yrs post-diagnosis; whereas the opposite was true (40.9%vs55.6%,p = 0.07) after 10yrs. OS estimates at 3 and 5yrs were similar between LAR and non-LAR, but at 10yrs OS was inferior in LAR (40.9%vs66.4%,p = 0.24). In a univariate analysis including both LAR and non-LAR, older age, higher N stage, lower TILs and absence of AdjCT were associated with poorer IDFS and OS. In a multivariate analysis, higher N stage and absence of AdjCT remained associated with both poorer IDFS and OS; while lower stromal TILs were associated with poorer IDFS (p=0.01), and with a trend towards poorer OS (p=0.07).

Conclusions: LAR TNBCs occurred in older women, were lower grade, and had lower TIL density than nonLAR tumors. While significant differences in IDFS or OS were not demonstrated, LAR pts exhibited a numerically lower risk of a disease event at 3yrs, but higher risk by 10yrs compared to nonLAR pts. In the entire cohort, higher N stage, absence of AdjCT and lower TILs were independently associated with poorer outcomes.

Abstract P3-08-09: The 21-gene recurrence score and chemotherapy use in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER2 positive breast cancer: A National Cancer Database study

Background

The 21-gene (Oncotype DX) Recurrence Score (RS) is a multi-gene expression assay that is both prognostic and predictive of adjuvant chemotherapy (AdjCT) benefit in estrogen receptor (ER) positive/HER2 negative breast cancer (BC). Use of the RS in TNBC and HER2+ BC is not recommended by national guidelines. Using the National Cancer Database (NCDB), we sought to evaluate whether oncologists use the RS in these subtypes. Additionally, we assessed the prognostic effects of the RS in node negative patients (pts) who did or did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods

Pts with TN and HER2+ BC diagnosed from 2010-2015 in the NCDB were analyzed. Pts with neoadjuvant therapy or stage IV were excluded. Cases with RS testing were classified as low (RS 0-17), intermediate (RS 18-30) or high (RS 31+). Analysis was performed using multivariable logistic regression; overall survival (OS) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests.

Results

142,330 pts were evaluable: 64,830 TNBC and 77,500 HER2+ (21,768 ER-/HER2+ and 55,732 ER+/HER2+). In these subtypes, RS was performed in 5,369 (3.8%) pts as follows: 1,479 (2.3%) TNBC, 185 (0.8%) ER-/HER2+, and 3,705 (6.6%) ER+/HER2+. Given the small ER-/HER2+ cohort, we focused on TNBC and ER+/HER2+. Within these subtypes, factors associated with RS testing included lower grade, smaller pathologic tumor size, pathologic N0 status, white race, age 60-69, and ILC or IMC histology (each p<0.005).

Of the TNBC pts tested, the RS distribution was: low 16.3%, intermediate 13.1% and high 70.6%, while for ER+/HER2+ it was low 30.5%, intermediate 30.7% and high 38.8% (p<0.001).

AdjCT was less frequently recommended in pts with low RS; however, this varied by tumor subtype with AdjCT recommended for 66.8% of TNBC with low RS and 37.9% of ER+/HER2+ with low RS. For intermediate RS, rates of AdjCT recommendation were 74.3% and 73.7%, and for high RS were 94.0% and 93.2% for TNBC and ER+/HER2+ respectively.

In a multivariable analysis among pts with low RS, factors associated with AdjCT recommendation included younger age, larger pathologic tumor size, node positive disease, and higher grade.

In AdjCT untreated TNBC, 5 yr OS did not differ for low RS (96.5%) vs intermediate RS (95.2%, p=0.82). In contrast OS was significantly worse for high RS (76.7%) than the other two groups, each p≤0.04.

In AdjCT untreated ER+/HER2+, 5 yr OS was significantly better for low RS (96.7%) vs intermediate RS (92.5%, p=0.03) and vs high RS (92.1%, p=0.003), with no difference between intermediate RS vs high RS (p=0.32).

Evaluating pts who did receive AdjCT, there was no significant difference in 5 yr OS for either subtype according to RS (p=0.46 and p=0.83).

Interestingly, in patients with low RS, 5 yr OS was similar with or without AdjCT in both TNBC (89.5% vs 96.5%, p=0.25) and ER+/HER2+ (97.6% vs 96.7%, p=0.47).

Conclusions

RS testing is being conducted in a small fraction of pts with TN and HER2+ BC with lower clinical risk features. The observation that RS is prognostic for survival in AdjCT untreated patients is hypothesis generating, and suggests that further evaluation of the RS and other multigene assays in ER negative and HER2+ BC is warranted.

Abstract GS6-02: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oxybutynin (Oxy) for hot flashes (HF): ACCRU study SC-1603

Background: HF occur in about 75% of midlife women and are associated with quality of life disruption and premature endocrine therapy discontinuation among breast cancer survivors. Estrogen therapy, effective for HF, is contraindicated in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (BC). Previous studies have suggested that Oxy could be effective in managing HF.

Methods: This randomized, placebo (P)-controlled trial enrolled women who had experienced HF ≥28 times per week over >30 days and of sufficient severity to seek treatment. Patients (pts) were randomized to receive oral Oxy at two doses: 2.5mg BID for 6 weeks (Oxy2.5), 2.5mg BID for a week with subsequent increase to 5mg BID (Oxy5), or matching P, in equal ratios. Baseline and monthly questionnaires were administered including a HF diary, the HF related daily interference scale (HFRDIS) and a symptom experience questionnaire. The primary endpoint was intra-patient change in weekly HF score and frequency from baseline to end of study compared using Kruskal-Wallis tests.

Results: 150 pts were accrued between 2/23/2017-3/5/2018. 4 pts cancelled before starting treatment and were excluded from analyses. This interim report includes the first 104 pts for which at least one post-baseline evaluation was available. Baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the arms. Sixty-two percent were on tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor for the duration of the study. Pts on both Oxy doses had a significantly greater reduction in HF score and frequency compared to P. Pts on Oxy2.5 had a mean change in HF score of -10 (SD 7.4) vs -5.1 (SD 9.7) with P, p=0.003; and a mean change in average weekly number of HF of -4.6 (SD 3.1) vs -2.3 (SD 3.9), p=0.002. Pts on Oxy5 had a mean change in HF score of -16.2 (SD 5.1) vs -5.1 (SD 9.7) with P, p<0.001; and a mean change in average weekly number of HF of -7.0 (SD 4.0) vs -2.3 (SD 3.9), p<0.001. Repeated measures mixed models confirmed that, after adjusting for baseline values, both Oxy arms had significantly lower HF scores and frequency compared to P (p<0.001). HFRDIS revealed that pts in both Oxy arms experienced improvement in the following HF interference measures: work, social activities, leisure activities, sleep, relations, life enjoyment, and overall quality of life. Pts on Oxy5 also had improvement in HF interference with mood. Pts on Oxy2.5 experienced more stomach pain (p=0.031), diarrhea (p=0.007), nausea (p=0.04), headaches (0.032), episodes of confusion (0.012), dry mouth (p=0.003) and dry eyes (0.027) compared to P. Pts on Oxy5 experienced more constipation (0.004), dry mouth (0.001) and difficulty urinating (0.004) compared to P. There were no differences in study discontinuation due to adverse effects between either Oxy arm and P (Oxy2.5 vs P, p=0.653; Oxy5 vs P, p=0.483).

Conclusions: Oxy is superior to P for management of HF. Oxy2.5 and 5 were both associated with significant improvements in HF scores and frequency as well as improvement in HF interference with several quality of life measures. While pts on Oxy experienced more side effects than pts on P, rates of discontinuation due to adverse events were low.

Abstract P3-05-06: Prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its relation to stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)

Background: While TNBC remains the most aggressive type of breast cancer (BC), substantial heterogeneity in biology and outcomes exists among TNBC subtypes. Historically, risk stratification of TNBC has been based on anatomic factors such as tumor size, nodal involvement and presence of distant metastases. However, these features alone fail to accurately predict outcomes. Tumor immune infiltration (sTILs) and distribution of immune cell subsets in the perip heral blood (NLR) have emerged as variables reported to be associated with outcomes in TNBC. We sought to evaluate whether NLR and sTILs provided independent prognostic information in TNBC.

Methods: From a cohort of 9,982 women who underwent BC surgery at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN between Jan 1985 and Dec 2012, we identified 605 centrally-confirmed TNBC tumors. Patients (pts) with prior BC, bilateral BC, non-invasive disease, stage IV, neoadjuvant therapy, endocrine therapy, or adenoid cystic histology were excluded. For eligible tumors, clinical and pathologic variables were evaluated, including peripheral blood NLR and central assessment of sTILs per the 2014 International TILs Working Group recommendations. We calculated the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) between NLR and sTILs and constructed Cox Proportional Hazards Models to evaluate their association with invasive-disease free (IDFS) and overall survival (OS). NLR and sTILs were both analyzed as continuous variables.

Results: Most pts had T1-2 (95%) and N0-1 disease (86%). Median OS follow-up was 10.6yrs. Median IDFS was 12yrs (95%CI 10.2-16.7) and median OS was 18.8yrs (95%CI 15.6-20.8). NLR and sTILs were available in 408 and 599 pts, respectively. The median NLR and sTIL content were 2.29 (0.14-10.50) and 20% (0-90%), respectively. NLR and sTILs were poorly correlated (PCC 0.0237). On univariate analysis (UVA), a higher NLR was associated with worse IDFS (HR 1.13; 95%CI 1.02-1.26, p=0.02) and OS (HR 1.17; 95%CI 1.04-1.31, p=0.01). Each 1% increment in sTILs was associated with improved IDFS (HR 0.99; 95%CI 0.98-0.99, p<0.001) and OS (HR 0.99, 95%CI 0.98-1.00, p<0.001). Among pts with high sTILs (≥20%), a higher NLR remained significantly associated with worse IDFS (HR 1.21; 95%CI 1.05-1.38, p=0.007) and OS (HR 1.25; 95%CI 1.09-1.44, p=0.001). In contrast, among pts with low sTILs (<20%), NLR was not associated with IDFS (HR 1.07; 95%CI 0.89-1.28, p=0.49) or OS (HR 1.07; 95%CI 0.88-1.30, p=0.49). The interaction test between NLR and sTILs did not reach statistical significance. A multivariate analysis (MVA; including age, menopausal status, histologic subtype, grade, tumor size, nodal stage, Ki-67, NLR, sTILs, adjuvant chemotherapy, type of surgery and adjuvant radiation) showed that sTILs remained independently associated with IDFS (HR 0.99, 95%CI 0.97-1.0, p=0.019) and OS (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.97-1.0, p=0.044), whereas NLR did not.

Conclusions: A lower NLR and a higher sTIL content were each associated with improved IDFS and OS among pts with nonmetastatic TNBC on UVA. However, when evaluated on a MVA, only sTILs remained independently associated with IDFS and OS. Our data suggest that the effect of sTILs on outcomes may not be modified by the NLR.

Abstract P1-06-07: Mayo clinic TNBC outcome calculator: A clinical calculator to predict disease relapse and survival in women with triple-negative breast cancer

Purpose: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype with substantial risks of disease recurrence. While cytotoxic chemotherapy is commonly administered and reduces recurrence, disease outcomes vary considerably and few prognostic tools are available for risk stratification for TNBC patients. We constructed and validated clinical calculators for invasive-disease free survival (IDFS) and overall survival (OS) for TNBC and compared their performance against AJCC-based models which include only tumor size and nodal status.

Methods: From a surgical cohort of 9,982 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery at Mayo Clinic between January 1985 and December 2012, 605 centrally reviewed TNBC patients were identified and used to construct Cox models for IDFS and OS. Patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy were excluded. Variables considered included age, menopausal status, tumor size, nodal status, Nottingham grade, type of breast surgery (mastectomy vs. lumpectomy), adjuvant radiation therapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, Ki67, stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Missing values were imputed using single imputation with all variables (including outcomes) included in the imputation model. Backward step-down procedure was used for model selections. The final models were internally validated for calibration and discrimination using bootstrapping methods and compared with AJCC-based models.

Results: For both IDFS and OS, higher sTIL's, less extensive nodal involvement, use of adjuvant chemotherapy, and lower NLR were significant predictors of improved clinical outcomes. Premenopausal status and younger age were additionally predictive of improved IDFS and OS, respectively. Models for IDFS and OS have good calibration and are associated with bias-corrected C-indices of 0.68 and 0.71, respectively, as compared with C-indices of 0.59 and 0.62 for AJCC-based models.

Conclusions: Our data indicate that a clinical calculator that includes sTIL's, NLR, menopausal status, age, nodal involvement as well as chemotherapy use can provide significantly greater prediction of clinical risk than tumor size and nodal status alone. These tools may be used to identify TNBC patients at elevated risk of disease relapse and to aid physician's communication with patients regarding their long-term disease outlook and planning treatment strategies. External validation is required to further evaluate broader applicability of this tool, which was developed utilizing a single-institutional experience.
