Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Thirty-day mortality (30DM) is an emerging consideration for determining whether terminally ill adult patients may benefit from palliative radiotherapy (RT). However, the efficacy and ethics of delivering palliative RT at the end of life (EOL) in children are seldom discussed and not well-established. RECENT FINDINGS Palliative RT is perhaps underutilized among patients ≤21 years old with rates as low as 11%. While effective when delivered early, clinical benefit decreases when administered within the last 30 days of life. Pediatric 30DM rates vary widely between institutions (0.7-30%), highlighting the need for standardized practices. Accurate prognosis estimation remains challenging and prognostic models specific to palliative pediatric patients are limited. Discordance between provider and patient/parent perceptions of prognosis further complicates decision-making. SUMMARY RT offers effective symptom control in pediatric patients when administered early. However, delivering RT within the last 30 days of life may provide limited clinical benefit and hinder optimal EOL planning and care. Early referral for palliative RT, preferably with fewer fractions (five or fewer), along with multidisciplinary supportive care, optimizes the likelihood of maintaining patients' quality of life. Prognosis estimation remains difficult, and improving patient and family understanding is crucial. Further research is needed to refine prognostic models and enhance patient-centered care.

Ten years survival results of randomized study comparing weekly vs. triweekly cisplatin with concurrent radiation in locally advanced carcinoma cervix. Rep Pract Oncol Radiother 2023; 28:322-331. [PMID: 37795405 PMCID: PMC10547408 DOI: 10.5603/rpor.a2023.0031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The current standard of treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemo-radiation with improved overall survival (OS) by 6% with manageable toxicities. The cisplatin 40 mg/m2 given weekly is the widely practiced regimen for 4-6 cycles concurrently with irradiation. Materials and methods Two hundred and twelve patients with histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma of cervix with stages IIB to IIIB were enrolled between 2007-2011. External beam radiation dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions was delivered over 5 weeks. Brachytherapy was delivered by manual afterloading cesium-137 (Cs137) low dose brachytherapy (LDR) using modified Fletcher suit intracavitary applicators to a total dose of 30 Gy to Point A or interstitial template to dose of 21 Gy/3 fractions with remote afterloading iridium-192 (Ir192) high dose brachytherapy (HDR). Patients were randomized to arm A receiving 40 mg/m2 of concurrent cisplatin weekly and arm B receiving 100 mg/m2 of concurrent cisplatin triweekly. Results One hundred and nine patients were randomized to weekly cisplatin and one hundred and three patients to triweekly cisplatin at the end of recruitment. At ten years, the OS was higher in the weekly arm (79.8%) compared to triweekly arm (70.9%). Disease free survival (DFS) was almost equal (76.1% and 73.8%) in the weekly and three-weekly arms. There is definite significance in overall DFS with patients receiving the cumulative cisplatin doses of more than 250 mg (p = 0.028). The patients with more than 45 years of age had better overall survival (OS) (79%) with statistical significance 31 (p = 0.020). Conclusion Both cisplatin based triweekly and weekly concurrent chemotherapy are equally effective in terms of OS and DFS.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) cancers account for approximately one quarter of all pediatric tumors and are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. More than 4,000 brain and CNS tumors are diagnosed each year in children and teens, and the incidence rate has remained stagnant in recent years. The most common malignant pediatric CNS tumors are gliomas, embryonal tumors consisting of predominately medulloblastomas, and germ cell tumors. The inaugural version of the NCCN Guidelines for Pediatric Central Nervous System Cancers focuses on the diagnosis and management of patients with pediatric diffuse high-grade gliomas. The information contained in the NCCN Guidelines is designed to help clinicians navigate the complex management of pediatric patients with diffuse high-grade gliomas. The prognosis for these highly aggressive tumors is generally poor, with 5-year survival rates of <20% despite the use of combined modality therapies of surgery, radiation therapy and systemic therapy. Recent advances in molecular profiling has expanded the use of targeted therapies in patients whose tumors harbor certain alterations. However, enrollment in a clinical trial is the preferred treatment for eligible patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Addition of chemotherapy to radiation has improved 5-year survival by 6%. However, the optimal dose and schedule of concurrent cisplatin is not well defined, though widely accepted practice is the weekly schedule of 40 mg/m2 for 5 weeks. Repeated admissions for weekly cisplatin drain the limited resources in high volume centres. We intended to study the compliance and toxicity of two cisplatin schedules in our patients diagnosed with carcinoma cervix. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2007-2011, 212 patients, histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma with stages IIB to IIIB were randomized into two arms. All patients were planned for external beam radiotherapy 45 Gy/25 frs over 5 weeks followed by Intracavitary or Interstitial brachytherapy to a total BED dose of 75-85 Gy. Single agent cisplatin given concomitantly, was scheduled weekly (40 mg/m2/cycle, 5 cycles) in an arm A and three weekly (100 mg/m2/cycle, 2 cycles) in an arm B. Toxicity and compliance were evaluated weekly according to the RTOG guidelines. Analysis of the compiled data was done using SSPS version 20. RESULTS Of the evaluable 212, 109 patients received weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and 103 patients received three weekly cisplatin. The most common acute toxicity observed was grade I-II leucopoenia. The upper and lower gastrointestinal reactions were high in three weekly arms, which was statistically significant (57% and 42.7%, p < 0.05). Proctitis was observed in 10% of patients in both of the arms and only two patients had Gr1 Cystitis after 6 months of treatment. CONCLUSIONS Tri-weekly cisplatin based concurrent chemoradiation can be adopted in high volume centres with manageable haematological and gastrointestinal acute toxicities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Thyroid hormones are essential for fetal growth and the central nervous system development. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is the key regulatory hormone. Their levels are quite dynamic in the perinatal period and are influenced by multiple factors. These factors should be taken into consideration during newborn screening. This study aimed to observe the impact of maternal and neonatal factors on neonatal TSH status.
Results
Neonatal TSH (nTSH) depicted a positive correlation with parity (p = 0.066) while negative correlation recorded with maternal blood haemoglobin (p = 0.007) among maternal factors.
New-born length (p = 0.027) and birth weight (p < 0.001) exhibited a negative correlation with nTSH among neonatal factors.
Conclusions
This study concludes that among all the maternal and neonatal factors, birth weight shows the most influence on nTSH. However, the effect may be compounded by other factors. As these risk elements rarely occur singly, it is often difficult to find the exposure which confer the risk on children. These factors should be considered while interpreting the result of the screening program.

Predicted sensitivity to endocrine therapy for stage II-III hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer before chemo-endocrine therapy. Ann Oncol 2021; 32:642-651. [PMID: 33617937 DOI: 10.1016/j.annonc.2021.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We proposed that a test for sensitivity to the adjuvant endocrine therapy component of treatment for patients with stage II-III breast cancer (SET2,3) should measure transcription related to estrogen and progesterone receptors (SETER/PR index) adjusted for a baseline prognostic index (BPI) combining clinical tumor and nodal stage with molecular subtype by RNA4 (ESR1, PGR, ERBB2, and AURKA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with clinically high-risk, hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer received neoadjuvant taxane-anthracycline chemotherapy, surgery with measurement of residual cancer burden (RCB), and then adjuvant endocrine therapy. SET2,3 was measured from pre-treatment tumor biopsies, evaluated first in an MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) cohort (n = 307, 11 years' follow-up, U133A microarrays), cut point was determined, and then independent, blinded evaluation was carried out in the I-SPY2 trial (n = 268, high-risk MammaPrint result, 3.8 years' follow-up, Agilent-44K microarrays, NCI Clinical Trials ID: NCT01042379). Primary outcome measure was distant relapse-free survival. Multivariate Cox regression models tested prognostic independence of SET2,3 relative to RCB and other molecular prognostic signatures, and whether other prognostic signatures could substitute for SETER/PR or RNA4 components of SET2,3. RESULTS SET2,3 added independent prognostic information to RCB in the MDACC cohort: SET2,3 [hazard ratio (HR) 0.23, P = 0.004] and RCB (HR 1.77, P < 0.001); and the I-SPY2 trial: SET2,3 (HR 0.27, P = 0.031) and RCB (HR 1.68, P = 0.008). SET2,3 provided similar prognostic information irrespective of whether RCB-II or RCB-III after chemotherapy, and in both luminal subtypes. Conversely, RCB was most strongly prognostic in cancers with low SET2,3 status (MDACC P < 0.001, I-SPY2 P < 0.001). Other molecular signatures were not independently prognostic; they could effectively substitute for RNA4 subtype within the BPI component of SET2,3, but they could not effectively substitute for SETER/PR index. CONCLUSIONS SET2,3 added independent prognostic information to chemotherapy response (RCB) and baseline prognostic score or subtype. Approximately 40% of patients with clinically high-risk HR+/HER2- disease had high SET2,3 and could be considered for clinical trials of neoadjuvant endocrine-based treatment.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy. Advancements in technology that enhance our understanding of the biology of the disease, risk-adapted therapy, and enhanced supportive care have contributed to improved survival rates. However, additional clinical management is needed to improve outcomes for patients classified as high risk at presentation (eg, T-ALL, infant ALL) and who experience relapse. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for pediatric ALL provide recommendations on the workup, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of the disease, including guidance on supportive care, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and pharmacogenomics. This portion of the NCCN Guidelines focuses on the frontline and relapsed/refractory management of pediatric ALL.

Abstract
Introduction: The chemotherapy schedules with cytotoxic dose or weekly regimes are still challenging, weighing the benefits versus toxicities. This prospective randomized study is an attempt to assess the efficacy of two schedules of cisplatin in management of locally advanced HNSCC. Objectives: The objectives of this study was to evaluate tolerance, tumour response and toxicities of concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin in weekly and three weekly regimes. Methods: Locally advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients fit for concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin 40 mg/m2 (weekly) and 100 mg/m2 (3 weekly) were randomized to Arm A and B concurrently with radiotherapy of 70Gy/35frs/7 weeks. Statistical Analysis: Chi-square/ Fisher Exact test has been used to find the significance of study parameters on categorical scale between the groups. The statistical software SPSS 15.0 was used. Results: Between December 2010 and January 2013, 60 patients were enrolled. The median cycles of cisplatin in Arm-A was 5 and 2 in Arm-B. The complete response of 80.9% vs 75% and partial response of 14.3% vs 12.5% was observed in both arms respectively. There was no statistical difference in acute radiation and hematological toxicities between the two groups. With median follow up of 28 months, the 2 and 5 years overall survival was 55% and 58%; 41.6% and 32.3% in arms A and B respectively. Conclusion: In our study of locally advanced oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with radical radiotherapy comparing concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin weekly vs 3 weekly had no significant difference in overall response, complete response and acute toxicities.

Abstract
Background: Radiation therapy (RT) has been widely used for palliation in multiple myeloma. However, no data exist on symptom assessment and patient-reported outcomes regarding the efficacy of RT in this disease process. This study aims to demonstrate the impact of palliative RT on patient-reported symptoms in patients with multiple myeloma.Materials and Methods: Our Radiation Oncology and Supportive Care Medicine clinics established the use of a modified Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) in 2015 assessing 12 symptom domains. All had ESAS data available from each encounter. Demographic and clinical data were retrospectively collected from an institutional data warehouse. We examined total and component survey scores for correlated data of patients during radiation treatment and patients not treated with radiation.Results: Clinic records of 30 patients with multiple myeloma seen in the Radiation Oncology and Supportive Care clinics from 2015 to 2018 were retrieved. A total of 91 discrete surveys were collected (1183 data points). Twenty of these were collected from weekly visits from 12 patients receiving RT; the remainder were from new patient or follow up encounters. Odds ratios were lower with radiation therapy for total scores (OR 4.86, p = .007), as well as several component scores.Conclusions: The use of palliative RT was associated with 5 times lower total symptom scores compared with nonuse. Similar beneficial results were found for several component scores. These patient-reported outcomes strongly suggest that providers should consider palliative radiation for symptomatic multiple myeloma patients. These data should be prospectively validated in a larger cohort of myeloma patients.

Abstract
Patient-generated health data (PGHD), or health-related data gathered from patients to help address a health concern, are used increasingly in oncology to make regulatory decisions and evaluate quality of care. PGHD include self-reported health and treatment histories, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and biometric sensor data. Advances in wireless technology, smartphones, and the Internet of Things have facilitated new ways to collect PGHD during clinic visits and in daily life. The goal of the current review was to provide an overview of the current clinical, regulatory, technological, and analytic landscape as it relates to PGHD in oncology research and care. The review begins with a rationale for PGHD as described by the US Food and Drug Administration, the Institute of Medicine, and other regulatory and scientific organizations. The evidence base for clinic-based and remote symptom monitoring using PGHD is described, with an emphasis on PROs. An overview is presented of current approaches to digital phenotyping or device-based, real-time assessment of biometric, behavioral, self-report, and performance data. Analytic opportunities regarding PGHD are envisioned in the context of big data and artificial intelligence in medicine. Finally, challenges and solutions for the integration of PGHD into clinical care are presented. The challenges include electronic medical record integration of PROs and biometric data, analysis of large and complex biometric data sets, and potential clinic workflow redesign. In addition, there is currently more limited evidence for the use of biometric data relative to PROs. Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of PGHD make them increasingly likely to be integrated into oncology research and clinical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment options for previously treated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) are limited. In cohort A of the phase II KEYNOTE-086 study, we evaluated pembrolizumab as second or later line of treatment for patients with mTNBC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had centrally confirmed mTNBC, ≥1 systemic therapy for metastatic disease, prior treatment with anthracycline and taxane in any disease setting, and progression on or after the most recent therapy. Patients received pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for up to 2 years. Primary end points were objective response rate in the total and PD-L1-positive populations, and safety. Secondary end points included duration of response, disease control rate (percentage of patients with complete or partial response or stable disease for ≥24 weeks), progression-free survival, and overall survival. RESULTS All enrolled patients (N = 170) were women, 61.8% had PD-L1-positive tumors, and 43.5% had received ≥3 previous lines of therapy for metastatic disease. ORR (95% CI) was 5.3% (2.7-9.9) in the total and 5.7% (2.4-12.2) in the PD-L1-positive populations. Disease control rate (95% CI) was 7.6% (4.4-12.7) and 9.5% (5.1-16.8), respectively. Median duration of response was not reached in the total (range, 1.2+-21.5+) and in the PD-L1-positive (range, 6.3-21.5+) populations. Median PFS was 2.0 months (95% CI, 1.9-2.0), and the 6-month rate was 14.9%. Median OS was 9.0 months (95% CI, 7.6-11.2), and the 6-month rate was 69.1%. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 103 (60.6%) patients, including 22 (12.9%) with grade 3 or 4 AEs. There were no deaths due to AEs. CONCLUSIONS Pembrolizumab monotherapy demonstrated durable antitumor activity in a subset of patients with previously treated mTNBC and had a manageable safety profile.

Abstract
Li and Mn-rich Li1+xNiyCozMnwO2 (LMR-NMC, 0 < x < 0.2; w > 0.5) materials remain commercially relevant owing to their high specific capacity. Due to this stoichiometry, their synthesis forms always at least two phases: monoclinic Li2MnO3 and rhombohedral LiNiaCobMncO2 (a = b = c = 1) layered moieties. However, a complete understanding of their complex crystal structure has not yet been fully realized. The monoclinic phase may become electrochemically active only at high potentials (>4.6 V vs. Li). To complicate matters even more, it has been shown that the electrochemical performance of these materials, having formally the same stoichiometry, can vary with the chosen method of material synthesis. Identification of the chemical and/or structural reasons for these variations in performance is crucial to ensure the promotion of these important cathode materials towards a practical use. Yet most methods of analysis cannot distinguish the subtle, localized variations that account for such differences. Here, solid state 6,7Li NMR was found to be successful in identifying several distinctions between compounds with identical chemical formulae. Many distinctions can be made, and even suggested to account for some of the differences in the electrochemical behaviors noted for the differently prepared materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HER2-positive (+) breast cancers, defined by HER2 overexpression and/or amplification, are often addicted to HER2 to maintain their malignant phenotype. Yet, some HER2+ tumors do not benefit from anti-HER2 therapy. We hypothesize that HER2 amplification levels and PI3K pathway activation are key determinants of response to HER2-targeted treatments without chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Baseline HER2+ tumors from patients treated with neoadjuvant lapatinib plus trastuzumab [with endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor (ER)+ tumors] in TBCRC006 (NCT00548184) were evaluated in a central laboratory for HER2 amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (n = 56). HER2 copy number (CN) and FISH ratios, and PI3K pathway status, defined by PIK3CA mutations or PTEN levels by immunohistochemistry were available for 41 tumors. Results were correlated with pathologic complete response (pCR; no residual invasive tumor in breast). RESULTS Thirteen of the 56 patients (23%) achieved pCR. None of the 11 patients with HER2 ratio <4 and/or CN <10 achieved pCR, whereas 13/45 patients (29%) with HER2 ratio ≥4 and/or CN ≥10 attained pCR (P = 0.0513). Of the 18 patients with tumors expressing high PTEN or wild-type (WT) PIK3CA (intact PI3K pathway), 7 (39%) achieved pCR, compared with 1/23 (4%) with PI3K pathway alterations (P = 0.0133). Seven of the 16 patients (44%) with HER2 ratio ≥4 and intact PI3K pathway achieved pCR, whereas only 1/25 (4%) patients not meeting these criteria achieved pCR (P = 0.0031). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that there is a clinical subtype in breast cancer with high HER2 amplification and intact PI3K pathway that is especially sensitive to HER2-targeted therapies without chemotherapy. A combination of HER2 FISH ratio and PI3K pathway status warrants validation to identify patients who may be treated with HER2-targeted therapy without chemotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Addition of the cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) palbociclib to endocrine therapy in the first and later line settings significantly improves progression free survival (PFS) in patients with HR+ MBC. The primary toxicity is neutropenia without an increase in febrile neutropenia. TBCRC035 explored rates of neutropenia in patients who had received prior chemotherapy for MBC with 2 dose levels of palbociclib, and correlated changes in retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation (pRB) and Ki67 expression in proliferating keratinocytes and tumor with response.
Methods
TBCRC035 is a 1:1 randomized multicenter phase II study evaluating palbociclib at either 125 or 100 mg in combination with physician choice fulvestrant or tamoxifen. Eligible patients (pts) with HR+ MBC had received >1 but <3 lines of chemotherapy for MBC, any number of prior hormone therapies, and were naïve to CDK4/6i. The primary endpoint was grade 3/4 neutropenia; secondary endpoints included response, safety/tolerability, inhibition of pRB and change in Ki67 in skin and tumor at day 14-21 of treatment compared to baseline. FFPE sections of skin punch and tumor biopsies obtained before and on treatment were stained using antibodies to Ki67, total RB, and phospho-RB-S780 using BOND polymer red detection. Stained slides were scanned into the Aperio image analysis platform; the percentage of marker positive cells and H-score was determined.
Results
70 pts were enrolled (fully accrued); 35 randomized to 100 vs 125 mg of palbociclib respectively; data for the last 3 pts on the 125 mg arm is pending. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was more common in the 125 mg vs the 100 mg arm (56 vs 34%); dose adjustments for adverse events (AEs) occurred in 47 vs 43%, 4 vs 0 pts discontinued treatment due to AEs. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia was rare (1 patient each arm). Median duration of treatment was 5.2 vs 7.2 months. Response data and correlation with changes in pRB and Ki67 expression in skin and tumor by treatment arm will be reported.
Conclusion
In pts with prior chemotherapy for HR+ MBC, treatment with 100 mg of palbociclib in patients is associated with a lower rate of > grade 3 neutropenia compared to 125 mg. Correlation of response by dose with pRB and Ki67 has the potential to inform palbociclib dosing and reduce toxicity for pts with HR+ MBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In women with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, residual cancer burden (RCB) predicts distant recurrence and survival. In those with high risk tumors, locoregional recurrence (LRR) remains a concern, and has been associated with type of local therapy received. We evaluated the impact of local therapy on LRR in the ISPY-2 TRIAL.
Methods: Data were analyzed in Stata 14.2, using Chi2 test, log rank test, and a Cox proportional hazards model. RCB was considered a categorical variable (0/1 versus 2/3), as described in prior publications. Breast surgery categories were lumpectomy +/- radiotherapy, or mastectomy +/- radiotherapy. Axillary surgery was defined as sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery (≤6 nodes removed) or axillary dissection (>6 nodes).
Results: Follow up data from the I-SPY2 TRIAL were available for 630 patients (median follow up 2.76 yrs, range 0.4-7.2). Type of local therapy was significantly associated with clinical stage at presentation, with stage III patients most frequently undergoing mastectomy + radiation (p<0.001). Women with higher RCB were more likely to undergo mastectomy than those with lower RCB (61.3% vs 48.8% mastectomy rate, p=0.002), and more likely to receive adjuvant radiotherapy (62.0% vs 53.9%, p=0.048). There was no association between clinical stage, type of surgery, or radiotherapy and LRR (Table). Higher RCB was significantly associated with LRR, with 3 year locoregional recurrence free rate of 95.1% in RCB 0/1 versus 89.9% in RCB 2/3 (p=0.003).
In a Cox model adjusting for clinical stage, tumor subtype, surgical therapy, RCB status, nodal radiation, and age, significant predictors for LRR were tumor subtype and RCB status. Hazard ratio (HR) for LRR in those with RCB 0/1 was 0.39 compared to those with RCB 2/3 (95% CI 0.17-0.87, p=0.021). There was no difference in LRR between breast conservation and mastectomy; within the breast conservation group, those who had lumpectomy alone had higher hazard of LRR compared to those having lumpectomy + radiation (HR 3.1, 95% CI 1.1-9.2, p=0.043).
Conclusions: Extent of surgical therapy was not associated with local tumor control, regardless of advanced tumor stage at presentation. Rather, tumor biology and response to therapy were the best predictors of LRR. These data highlight the opportunity to minimize the morbidity of extensive surgical therapy for patients with excellent response to systemic therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Patients achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy have significantly improved event-free survival relative to those who do not; and pCR is an FDA-accepted endpoint to support accelerated approval of novel agents/combinations in the neoadjuvant treatment of high risk early stage breast cancer. Previous studies have shown that recurrence risk increased with increasing burden of residual disease (as assessed by the RCB index). As well, these studies suggest that patients with minimum residual disease (RCB-I class) also have favorable outcomes (comparable to those achieving a pCR) within high risk tumor subtypes. In this study, we assess whether integrating RCB with MRI functional tumor volume (FTV), which in itself is prognostic, can improve prediction of distant recurrence free survival (DRFS); and identify a subset of patients with minimal residual disease with comparable DRFS as those who achieved a pCR. Imaging tools can then be used to identify the subset that will do well early and guide the timing of surgical therapy.
Method: We performed a pooled analysis of 596 patients from the I-SPY2 TRIAL with RCB, pre-surgical MRI FTV data and known follow-up (median 2.5 years). We first assessed whether FTV predicts residual disease (pCR or pCR/RCB-I) using ROC analysis. We applied a power transformation to normalize the pre-surgical FTV distribution; and assessed its association with DRFS using a bi-variate Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for HR/HER2 subtype. We also fitted a bivariate Cox model of RCB index adjusting for subtype; and assessed whether adding pre-surgical FTV to this model further improves association with DRFS using a likelihood ratio (LR) test. For the Cox modeling, penalized splines approximation of the transformed FTV and RCB index with 2 degrees of freedom was used to allow for non-linear effects of FTV and RCB on DRFS.
Result: Pre-surgical MRI FTV is significantly associated with DRFS (Wald p<0.00001), and more effective at predicting pCR/RCB-I than predicting pCR alone (AUC: 0.72 vs. 0.65). Larger pre-surgical FTV remains associated with worse DRFS adjusting for subtype (Wald p <0.00001). The RCB index is also significantly associated with DRFS adjusting for subtype (Wald p<0.00001). Adding FTV to a model containing RCB and subtype further improves association with DRFS (LR p=0.0007). RCB-I patients have excellent DRFS (94% at 3 years compared to 95% in the pCR group). Efforts are underway to identify an optimal threshold for dichotomizing pre-surgical FTV and FTV change measures for use in combination with pCR/RCB-I class to generate integrated RCB (iRCB) groups as a composite predictor of DRFS.
Conclusion: Pre-surgical MRI FTV is effective at predicting minimal residual disease (RCB0/I) in the I-SPY 2 TRIAL. Despite the association between FTV and RCB, FTV appears to provide independent added prognostic value (to RCB and subtype), suggesting that integrating MRI volume measures and RCB into a composite predictor may improve DRFS prediction.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Thirty percent of patients with breast cancer may experience chest wall recurrence, which is associated with a higher risk of developing distant metastases and a poor prognosis. Cancer cells may evade immune rejection through the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway. Pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, binds PD-1 and inhibits its interaction with the programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) to facilitate tumor immune rejection. We hypothesize that pembrolizumab may be an effective therapy in chest wall recurrence, given the inflammatory nature, and the high expression of PD-1 in tumors with lymphovascular invasion. Platinum agents may enhance anti-tumor immunity in a synergistic manner, and the combination of pembrolizumab and carboplatin has demonstrated efficacy in advanced lung cancer. In this study, the combination of pembrolizumab and carboplatin is being evaluated in breast cancer patients with chest wall disease.
Methods: This is a randomized phase II study of breast cancer patients with advanced, unresectable breast cancer involving the chest wall, being conducted through the Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium (TBCRC). Patients may have hormone resistant disease (at least 2 prior lines of hormone therapy), triple negative breast cancer, or refractory HER2+ disease for enrollment. They may have other sites of distant metastases, have received any number of prior lines of therapy, have had prior surgery, but prior chest wall radiation is not necessary. Eighty-four patients at 7 TBCRC sites will be randomized 2:1 to treatment with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV and carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg IV alone every 3 weeks (Arm A, n=56) or carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks (Arm B, n=28), with an option for patients in Arm B to cross-over to single agent pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks (arm Bx) on progression. Patients will undergo imaging with CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis at baseline and every 2 cycles of treatment for response evaluation. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate in the chest wall and distant sites at 18 weeks of treatment, and this study is powered to determine a 20% difference in disease control rates between arms A and B (hazard ratio of 0.52, α= 0.10, β= 0.20). After 18 patients are enrolled into Arm B, an interim analysis for futility will be conducted to enable early closure of that arm for lack of efficacy. Secondary endpoints in the study are toxicity, progression free survival, and response based on PD-L1 expression and irRECIST. Exploratory endpoints, which will be studied using peripheral blood testing and chest wall tumor biopsies at baseline and after 2 cycles of treatment, include determining associations of response with changes in tumor and peripheral blood immune composition, soluble PD-L1 expression, circulating tumor cells, cell free DNA, and tumor PD-L1 and MYC genomic expression. Ultimately this study promises to improve our understanding of checkpoint inhibition and chemotherapy for chest wall disease, and the underlying mechanism of action. This study is open for enrollment and 2 patients are currently enrolled. (NCT03095352).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH [1-34]) on the mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) and subchondral bone in adult female mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two, 20-week-old female mice were used for in vivo experiments. The experimental mice (n=11) received daily intraperitoneal injections of PTH [1-34] for 3 weeks, while control mice (n=11) received intraperitoneal injections of 0.9% saline solution. Mice were euthanized and then micro-computed tomography (micro-CT); histology and immunostaining were carried out to assess the response. RESULTS Intermittent PTH [1-34] led to early MCC breakdown and surface irregularities. Micro-CT analyses indicated that PTH [1-34] treatment led to increased bone volume fraction, tissue density and trabecular thickness, while decreasing the trabecular spacing. Histological analyses showed decreased proteoglycan secretion, increased bone turnover (TRAP staining) and increased mineralization. Furthermore, PTH [1-34] treatment showed increased apoptosis of the cells. Our immunohistochemistry showed increased expression of pSMAD158 in the MCC and subchondral bone with PTH administration, whereas sclerostin (SOST) expression was decreased. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent PTH [1-34] results in early mineralization of the MCC, which may result in cartilage degeneration. Our results identified a novel mechanism by which PTH [1-34] induces alteration in the microarchitecture of the MCC and the subchondral bone.

Early outcomes and patterns of failure following proton therapy for nonmetastatic intracranial nongerminomatous germ cell tumors. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2018; 65:e26997.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although dosimetric comparisons demonstrate the advantage of proton therapy (PT) over conventional radiotherapy for nongerminomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT), clinical outcome data for this rare tumor are lacking. We sought to evaluate outcomes for children with NGGCT treated with PT. METHODS Between 2007 and 2016, 14 children (median age 11, range, 5-19 years) with nonmetastatic NGGCT were treated with PT after induction chemotherapy. Most (8/14) were mixed germ cell. Five of 14 patients had complete resection of their primary tumor before radiation. Off study, eight patients received 36 Gy (RBE [relative biological effectiveness]) craniospinal irradiation (CSI). On study, two patients received 30.6 Gy (RBE) whole-ventricle irradiation and four received focal radiation alone. All patients received a total dose of 54 Gy (RBE) to the tumor/tumor bed. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 2.8 years, all patients were alive with no local recurrences. Three-year progression-free survival was 86%. Both metastatic recurrences occurred in patients treated with focal radiation alone; one with an immature teratoma developed an isolated spinal recurrence 5 months after treatment. Another with a mixed germ cell tumor developed a multifocal ventricular and shunt tract recurrence 7 months after treatment. Serious toxicity was minimal, including cataracts and hormone deficiency, and limited to children who received CSI. CONCLUSION Early outcomes in children treated for NGGCT suggest the high conformality of PT does not compromise disease control and yields low toxicity. This pattern of failure data adds to growing evidence suggesting chemotherapy followed by focal radiotherapy alone is inadequate in controlling localized NGGCT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Patients with breast cancer (BC) and chest wall disease have limited treatment options. We hypothesize that checkpoint inhibition may be an effective treatment approach due to the inflammatory nature of chest wall infiltration, and the association of PD-1 expression with lymphocytic infiltration. Platinum chemotherapy may facilitate anti-tumor immunity in a synergistic manner, and clinical studies of the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab with platinum combinations have been effective in the treatment of advanced lung cancer. In this study, we will evaluate the combination of carboplatin and pembrolizumab in BC patients with chest wall disease.
Methods: This is a randomized phase II multicenter study in the TBCRC including patients with advanced, unresectable BC with hormone resistant or triple negative chest wall disease. Patients may have had prior surgery, prior chest wall radiation is not required, and other sites of distant metastases are allowed. Eighty-four patients at TBCRC sites will be randomized 2:1 to receive pembrolizumab and carboplatin (n=56, Arm A) or carboplatin alone (n=28, Arm B) until disease progression. Patients randomized to Arm B may cross-over following progression to pembrolizumab alone (Arm Bx). Patients in Arm A will be treated with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV and carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks for at least 6 cycles followed by maintenance pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks if stable or responding disease. Patients in Arm B will be treated with carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks until progression, then may cross-over to pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks alone (Arm Bx). An interim analysis for futility will be performed after 18 patients are enrolled into Arm B to allow early closure of that arm for lack of efficacy. The primary endpoint is disease control rate at 18 weeks of treatment; the study is powered to detect a 20% difference in disease control rates between arms (hazard ratio 0.52, α= 0.10, β= 0.20). Secondary endpoints include progression free survival, toxicity, and response based on PD-L1 expression and irRECIST. Exploratory endpoints include association of response with a number of biomarkers including tumor PD-L1 gene expression, tumor and peripheral blood immune composition and cytokine expression, peripheral T-cell PD-1 expression, circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells, and tumor MYC genomic expression using tumor biopsy and peripheral blood testing before and after treatment. This study should be open to accrual by August of 2017. (NCT03095352)

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Pembrolizumab (Pembro), an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of a variety of cancers including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and urothelial carcinoma. Pembro was recently evaluated in HER2- breast cancer patients in the neoadjuvant I-SPY 2 TRIAL and graduated in the triple negative (TN), HR+HER2-, and HER2- signatures. HER2- patients were randomized to receive Pembro+paclitaxel followed by doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (P+T -> AC) vs. T -> AC. We and others have shown that TN breast cancers tend to have high numbers of immune infiltrates, including T cells and tumor associated macrophages (TAMs). We evaluated expression signatures representing 14 immune cell types (TILs, T cells, CD8 T cells, exhausted T cells, Th1, Tregs, cytotoxic cells, NK, NK CD56dim, dendritic cells, mast cells, B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils) as specific predictors of response to Pembro.
Methods: Data from 248 patients (Pembro: 69; controls: 179) were available. Pre-treatment biopsies were assayed using Agilent gene expression arrays. Signature scores are calculated by averaging cell type specific genes. All I-SPY 2 qualifying biomarker analyses follow a pre-specified analysis plan. We used logistic modeling to assess biomarker performance. A biomarker is considered a specific predictor of Pembro response if it associates with response in the Pembro arm but not the control arm, and if the biomarker x treatment interaction is significant (likelihood ratio test, p<0.05). This analysis is also performed adjusting for HR status as covariates, and within receptor subsets. For successful biomarkers, we use Bayesian modeling to estimate the pCR rates of 'predicted sensitive' patients in each arm. Our statistics are descriptive rather than inferential and do not adjust for multiplicities of other biomarkers outside this study.
Results: 10 out of the 14 cell-type signatures tested are associated with response in the Pembro arm. Higher expression levels of 9 of these cell-type signatures are associated with higher pCR rates (T cells, exhausted T cells, Th1, cytotoxic cells, NK, NK CD56dim, dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages), whereas higher mast cell signature expression is associated with non-pCR. Interestingly, many of these same signatures also associate or trend towards association with response in the control arm; and in a model adjusting for HR status, only 3 of these signatures (Th1, B cells and dendritic cells) show significant interaction with treatment. Within the whole population and the TN subtype, the dendritic cell signature is the strongest predictor of specific response to Pembro (OR/1SD: 4.04 and 4.4, LR p < 0.001 overall and in TN). Although other immune signatures (T cells, exhausted T cells, NK, and macrophages) also associate with response in the Pembro arm in the TN subtype, only the dendritic cell and Th1 signatures have a significant interaction with treatment. In contrast, in the HR+HER2- subtype, only 3 signatures (Th1, B cells, and mast cells) associate with response to Pembro; but none of these signatures have significant interaction with treatment. Of note, in both the Pembro and control arms, HR+HER2- patients with higher average mast cell marker expression have lower pCR rates (OR/1SD: 0.33 and 0.51, LRp: 0.006 and 0.04 in Pembro and control arm).
Conclusion: As expected, multiple immune cell expression signatures are predictive of response in the Pembro arm; but only dendritic cells and Th1 cells are specific to Pembro in both the population as a whole and the TN subtype. Interestingly, the presence of mast cells may impede response, especially in HR+HER2- patients. Correlation of these signatures with multiplex-IF immune markers is pending.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Pembrolizumab (P), an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been approved for treatment of microsatellite instability-high and mismatch repair deficient cancers. In I-SPY 2, patients were randomized to receive standard chemotherapy alone or in combination with an experimental agent. P was one of the experimental agents evaluated in HER2- patients in I-SPY 2 and graduated in the TN, HR+HER2-, and HER2- signatures. We hypothesize that a combination of two signatures predicting response to veliparib/carboplatin therapy in I-SPY 2 [MammaPrint High2 (MP2)/PARPi7-high] and reflecting DNA damage repair deficiency, may also predict response to P. In addition, we also tested 9 gene expression signatures reflecting different aspects of DNA damage and repair: FA, MMR, BER, HR, TLS, NER, NHEJ, DR, and DNA damage sensing (DDS) pathways.
Methods: Data from 249 patients (P: 69 and controls: 180) were available. Pre-treatment biopsies were assayed using Agilent gene expression arrays. All I-SPY 2 qualifying biomarker analyses follow a pre-specified analysis plan. We used logistic modeling to assess biomarker performance. A biomarker is considered a specific predictor of P response if it associates with response in the P arm but not the control arm, and if the biomarker x treatment interaction is significant (likelihood ratio test, p<0.05). This analysis is also performed adjusting for HR status as a covariate, and within receptor subsets, sample size permitting. For successful biomarkers, we use Bayesian modeling to estimate the pCR rates of 'predicted sensitive' patients in each arm. Our statistics are descriptive rather than inferential and do not adjust for multiplicities of other biomarkers outside this study.
Results: MP2 status associates with pCR in P (OR=7.7; p=0.00021), but also to a lesser extent in the control arm (OR=2.4:p=0.045), with an OR ratio of 3.3 which trends toward significance, even after adjusting for HR status (LR p=0.083). A majority of TN patients are MP2; and TN/MP2 patients have an estimated pCR rate of 67% in P (vs. 23% in control). Although only ~30% of HR+HER2- patients were MP2, their estimated pCR rate in P is 61%, compared to 29% in unselected HR+/HER2- patients. PARPi7 predicted response in the P arm only in the HR+HER2- group (LR p= 0.025), but not in the population as a whole or the TN subtype. Combining MP2 and PARPi7 into MP2/PARPi7-high did not improve performance over MP2 as a single biomarker. Of the 9 DDR pathway signatures tested, both BER and DDS associate with pCR in P, but only DDS (which includes ATM, ATR, CHEK1-2) associates with pCR in the P arm (LR p=0.00029), and not the control arm (LR p=0.53), with a significant interaction with treatment (LR p=0.0064) that retains significance in a model adjusting for HR status. When dichotomized to optimize the biomarker x treatment interaction, the estimated pCR rate is 75% in P vs 18% in control, in the DDS+ subset.
Conclusion: In this small study, MP2 status and a DNA damage sensing pathway but not the PARPi7 or other repair pathways show promise as predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibition therapy in breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
LIV-1, a transmembrane protein and downstream target of STAT3, is highly expressed in breast cancer cells. It is associated with lymph node involvement and metastatic progression. SGN-LIV1A is an anti-LIV-1 antibody conjugated via a protease-cleavable linker to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). Upon binding to cell-surface LIV-1, SGN-LIV1A is internalized and releases MMAE, which disrupts microtubulin and induces apoptosis.
Methods
This ongoing, phase 1 study evaluates safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of SGN-LIV1A (q3wks IV) in women with LIV-1-positive, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (LA/MBC) (NCT01969643). Patients (pts) with measurable disease and ≥2 prior cytotoxic regimens for LA/MBC are eligible. Pts with ≥ Grade 2 neuropathy are excluded. Response is assessed per RECIST v1.1; pts with stable disease (SD) or better can continue treatment until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. At completion of dose escalation in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) and triple-negative (TN) pts, expansion cohorts were opened to further evaluate safety and antitumor activity of monotherapy in TN pts. Tumor biopsies are evaluated for LIV-1 expression.
Results
To date, 69 pts (18 HR+/HER2–, 51 TN) have received a median of 3 cycles (range, 1–12) of SGN-LIV1A at doses of 0.5–2.8 mg/kg. Median age was 56 yrs. Pts had a median of 3 prior cytotoxic regimens for LA/MBC; 58 had visceral disease and 37 had bone metastases. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred in 19 DLT-evaluable pts; maximum tolerated dose was not exceeded at 2.8 mg/kg. Expansion cohorts of TN pts were opened at 2.0 and 2.5 mg/kg. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) reported in ≥25% of pts were fatigue (59%), nausea (51%), peripheral neuropathy (44%), alopecia (36%), decreased appetite (33%), constipation (30%), abdominal pain, diarrhea, and neutropenia (25% each). Most AEs were Grade 1/2; AEs ≥ Grade 3 included neutropenia (25%) and anemia (15%). Febrile neutropenia occurred in 2 pts whose total dose exceeded 200 mg per cycle, including 1 treatment-related death due to sepsis. No other treatment-related deaths occurred on-study. Seven pts discontinued treatment due to AEs. In dose escalation, activity was observed in 17 efficacy evaluable (EE) HR+/HER2- pts, with a disease control rate (DCR= CR+PR+SD) of 59% (10 SD), including 1 pt with SD ≥24 wks. Among the 44 EE TN pts (dose escalation plus expansion cohorts), the objective response rate (ORR) was 32% (14 PR) with a confirmed PR rate of 21%, DCR was 64% (14 PR, 14 SD), and clinical benefit rate (CBR=CR+PR+SD ≥24 wks) was 36% (16 pts). For TN pts, median PFS was 11.3 wks (95% CI: 6.1, 17.1); 10 pts remain on treatment.
Of 631 MBC tumor samples of all clinical subtypes evaluated for LIV-1, 91% were positive; 75% had moderate-to-high expression (H-score ≥100).
Conclusions
LIV-1 is expressed in almost all MBC tumors. SGN-LIV1A monotherapy was generally well tolerated and showed encouraging antitumor activity in heavily pretreated TN MBC, with a PR rate of 32%, confirmed PR rate of 21%, and CBR (≥24 wks) of 36%. Response duration data continue to evolve. Enrollment continues in the TN monotherapy expansion cohort.

Abstract
AIM To study the pattern of presentation and management of nodal and extranodal primary RDD. METHODOLOGY From 2010 to 2015, eleven patients diagnosed with Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) presented at our institute. Nine of them were analyzed as they received treatment at our center. We had five neck primaries, three intracranial and one cutaneous disease. Hematological, radiological, histopathological and immunohistochemistry evaluation along with the treatment data was collected and analyzed. RESULTS Nine cases treated at our institute had a median follow up of 41 months. Four of the five neck node primaries were treated with corticosteroids. Of the four, two had complete and two partial responses locally. Remaining one patient had partial response to surgery and corticosteroids. Three patients with CNS presentation treated with radiotherapy to a total dose of 20-40 Gy, had complete response locally. However, two patients had simultaneous neck nodes during presentation. Partial response was seen with corticosteroids alone in one and with radiation to the neck in the other patient, of which one succumbed to myocardial infarction within 3 months post treatment. Two of them received re-irradiation to the recurrent lesions with good results. CONCLUSION Due to its rarity there is no particular guidelines regarding the management of patients with RDD. We conclude that low dose radiation either in combination with surgery or corticosteroids in nodal or extranodal lesions has shown a better local control.

Patient Perceptions of Care as Influenced by a Large Institutional Pharmacogenomic Implementation Program. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2017; 102:106-114.

Abstract
Despite growing clinical use of genomic information, patient perceptions of genomic-based care are poorly understood. We prospectively studied patient-physician pairs who participated in an institutional pharmacogenomic implementation program. Trust/privacy/empathy/medical decision-making (MDM)/personalized care dimensions were assessed through patient surveys after clinic visits at which physicians had access to preemptive pharmacogenomic results (Likert scale, 1 = minimum/5 = maximum; mean [SD]). From 2012-2015, 1,261 surveys were issued to 507 patients, with 792 (62.8%) returned. Privacy, empathy, MDM, and personalized care scores were significantly higher after visits when physicians considered pharmacogenomic results. Importantly, personalized care scores were significantly higher after physicians used pharmacogenomic information to guide medication changes (4.0 [1.4] vs. 3.0 [1.6]; P < 0.001) compared with prescribing visits without genomic guidance. Multivariable modeling controlling for clinical factors confirmed personalized care scores were more favorable after visits with genomic-influenced prescribing (odds ratio [OR] = 3.26; 95% confidence interval [CI] = (1.31-8.14); P < 0.05). Physicians seem to individualize care when utilizing pharmacogenomic results and this decision-making augmentation is perceived positively by patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: I-SPY 2 is a multicenter, phase 2 trial using response-adaptive randomization within biomarker subtypes to evaluate novel agents when added to standard neoadjuvant therapy for women with high-risk stage II/III breast cancer - investigational agent(I) +paclitaxel(T) qwk, doxorubicin & cyclophosphamide(AC) q2-3 wk x 4 vs. T/AC (control arm). The primary endpoint is pathologic complete response (pCR) at surgery. The goal is to identify/graduate regimens that have ≥85% Bayesian predictive probability of success (statistical significance) in a 300-patient phase 3 neoadjuvant trial defined by hormone-receptor (HR) & HER2 status & MammaPrint (MP). Regimens may also leave the trial for futility (< 10% probability of success) or following accrual of maximum sample size (10%< probability of success <85%). We report the results for experimental arm Ganitumab, a type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) inhibitor. IGF1R inhibitors are known to induce insulin resistance and all patients assigned to Ganitumab received metformin.
Methods: Women with tumors ≥2.5cm were eligible for screening. MP low/HR+ and HER2+ tumors were ineligible for randomization. Hemoglobin A1C≥ 8.0% were ineligible. MRI scans (baseline, 3 cycles after start of therapy, at completion of weekly T and prior to surgery) were used in a longitudinal statistical model to improve the efficiency of adaptive randomization. Ganitumab was given at 12mg/kg q2 weeks and metformin at 850mg PO BID, while receiving ganitumab. Analysis was intention to treat with patients who switched to non-protocol therapy counted as non-pCRs. Ganitumab/metformin was open only to HER2- patients, and eligible for graduation in 3 of 10 pre-defined signatures: HER2-, HR+HER2- and HR-HER2-.
Results: Ganitumab/metformin did not meet the criteria for graduation in the 3 signatures tested. When the maximum sample size was reached, accrual to this arm stopped. Ganitumab/metformin was assigned to 106 patients; there were 128 controls. We report probabilities of superiority for Ganitumab/metformin over control and Bayesian predictive probabilities of success in a neoadjuvant phase 3 trial equally randomized between Ganitumab/metformin and control, for each of the 3 biomarker signatures, using the final pathological response data from all patients. Safety data will be presented.

Conclusion: The I-SPY 2 adaptive randomization study estimates the probability that investigational regimens will be successful in a phase 3 neoadjuvant trial. The value of I-SPY 2 is to give insight about the performance of an investigational agent's likelihood of achieving pCR. For Ganitumab/metformin, no subtype came close to the efficacy threshold of 85% likelihood of success in phase 3, and this regimen does not appear to impact upfront reduction of tumor burden. Our data do not support its continued development for the neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Pathologic complete response(pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy is an established prognostic biomarker for high-risk breast cancer(BC). Improving pCR rates may identify new therapies that improve survival. I-SPY 2 uses response-adaptive randomization within biomarker subtypes to evaluate novel agents when added to standard neoadjuvant therapy for women with high-risk stage II/III breast cancer; the goal is to identify regimens that have ≥85% Bayesian predictive probability of success (statistical significance) in a 300-patient phase 3 neoadjuvant trial defined by hormone-receptor (HR), HER2 status and MammaPrint (MP). We report the results for Ganetespib, a selective inhibitor of Hsp90 that induces the degradation/deactivation of key drivers of tumor initiation, progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis.Ganetespib + taxanes previously have resulted in a superior therapeutic response compared to monotherapy in multiple solid tumor models including BC.
Methods:Women with tumors ≥2.5cm were eligible for screening and participation. MP low/HR+ tumors were ineligible for randomization. QTcF >470msec and HbA1C >8.0% were ineligible. MRI scans (baseline, +3 cycles, following weekly paclitaxel, T, and pre-surgery) were used in a longitudinal statistical model to improve the efficiency of adaptive randomization. Ganetespib was given with weekly T at 150 mg/m2 IV weekly (3 weeks on, 1 off). Patients were premedicated (dexamethasone 10mg and diphenhydramine HCl 25-50 mg, or therapeutic equivalents). Analysis was intention to treat with patients who switched to non-protocol therapy counted as non-pCRs. The Ganetespib regimen was open only to HER2- patients, and eligible for graduation in 3 of 10 pre-defined signatures: HER2-, HR+/HER2- and HR-/HER2-.
Results:Ganetespib did not meet the criteria for graduation in the 3 signatures tested. When the maximum sample size was reached, accrual stopped. Ganetespib was assigned to 93 patients; there were 140 controls. We report probabilities of superiority for Ganetespib over control and Bayesian predictive probabilities of success in a neoadjuvant phase 3 trial equally randomized between Ganetespib and control, for the 3 biomarker signatures, using the final pCR data from all patients. Safety data will be presented.

Conclusion:The I-SPY 2 adaptive randomization model efficiently evaluates investigational agents in the setting of neoadjuvant BC. The value of I-SPY 2 is that it provides insight as to the regimen's likelihood of success in a phase 3 neoadjuvant study. Although no signature reached the efficacy threshold of 85% likelihood of success in phase 3, we observed the most impact in HR-/HER2- patients, with a 16% improvement in pCR rate. While our data do not support the continued development of Ganetespib alone for neoadjuvant BC, combinations with Ganetespib, which could potentiate its effect, may be worth pursuing in I-SPY 2 or similar trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: GR is variably expressed in TNBC and high expression is associated with poor prognosis in estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) early stage breast cancer. Treatment with mifepristone (MIFE) potentiates the effectiveness of chemotherapy in GR+ TNBC xenografts. Enrollment is complete in this study of patients with GR+ TNBC treated at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MIFE in combination with eribulin. Objectives: To determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical activity of the MIFE plus eribulin combination in pts with GR+ TNBC at the RP2D. Methods: Eligibility: In Part 1 (dose finding), pts with solid tumors; in Part 2 (expansion phase), pts with TNBC (GR result required at time of screening in Part 1, but could be pending at time of screening in Part 2). Up to 5 prior chemotherapy regimens for advanced disease; ECOG PS 0-1; adequate end-organ function. Design: 3 + 3 dose escalation scheme. After a 7-day lead-in of oral daily MIFE alone, MIFE was continued daily and eribulin was given on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. GR+ was defined as >10% of tumor cells with any intensity of GR staining. Results: 16 pts with metastatic breast cancer were treated in Part 1, and 21 pts with TNBC were treated in Part 2. Median age was 54 (range 30-81). MTD/RP2D was MIFE 300 mg/day + eribulin 1.1 mg/m2. Safety: DLT in Part 1 was neutropenia. Neutropenia occurred in 23/36 total patients (2 Grade [G] 1, 10 G3, 11 G4); 2 instances included neutropenic fever. Recovery of WBC was brisk with growth factor support. Neuropathy was observed in 8 pts (5 G1, 1 G2, 2 G3). Other most common AEs (fatigue, hypokalemia, nausea, alopecia) were mainly G1 or G2; among these, G3/G4 events were limited to fatigue (4 G3), hypokalemia (3 G3 and 1 G4) and nausea (1 G3). There were 2 instances of G1 vaginal bleeding. There was no impact of MIFE on eribulin PK. Efficacy: There were 23 evaluable pts with TNBC across Parts 1 and 2 treated at the RP2D: 21 GR+, 2 GR status unknown; median of 3 prior chemotherapy regimens; 1 patient had received prior eribulin. Responses were: 3 PR, 8 SD, 11 PD and one too early to assess. Median PFS was 9 weeks. Conclusions: MIFE plus eribulin was well tolerated and appears to be an active treatment regimen. Five TNBC patients had a PFS longer than the upper 95% CI for PFS (i.e., >15 wks) reported by Aogi et al. for TNBC treated with eribulin (Annals of Oncology 2012?23:144148). Clinical trial information: NCT02014337.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: About 1/3 of patients with TNBC who receive preoperative therapy will experience a pathological complete response (pCR). Patients with residual disease have a markedly inferior overall survival (OS) compared to those who experience pCR. Recently, the CREATE-X trial demonstrated an improvement in disease free survival (DFS) and OS for post-neoadjuvant capecitebine; although the addition of capecitebine to standard therapy has not previously improved outcome across other non-selected adjuvant or neo-adjuvant trials. Prior data have also demonstrated that the residual tumors are genomically diverse and that these genetic changes are reflected at time of relapse.
Trial Design: This trial is a randomized phase II trial to determine whether a genomically guided therapy in the setting of incomplete response to standard neoadjuvant therapy will improve outcomes compared to standard of care. DNA from archived tumor samples collected at the time of surgery will be extracted and sequenced. The sequencing data will be interrogated for known genomic drivers of sensitivity or resistance to existing FDA approved agents. A cancer genomic tumor board (CGTB) will consider the genomic data along with the patient's prior treatment history, toxicities, and comorbidities and select the optimal therapy. Participants with a CGTB recommendation will be randomized to Experimental Arm A (genomically directed monotherapy) or Control Arm B (standard of care). Participants may have no CGTB recommendation either because sequencing did not identify a matched drug or because the drug was contraindicated and will be assigned to Control Arm B.
Eligibility criteria: Patients must have histologically confirmed TNBC with completion of all definitive local therapy and no evidence of metastatic disease. There must be significant residual disease characterized by >2cm primary tumor, or lymph node positivity or RCB classification II or III. An FFPE tumor block with tumor cellularity >20% is required. All patients must have completed preoperative chemotherapy including a taxane or anthracycline or both.
Specific aims: The Primary Aim is to compare 2-year DFS with a genomically directed therapy vs. standard of care. Secondary Aims include 1-year DFS, 5-year OS, collection of archival specimens for correlative studies, and to describe toxicities. Exploratory Aims are to describe the evolution of genomically directed therapies during the course of the study and to evaluate the drug specific effect on efficacy and toxicity.
Statistical methods: In order to detect an improvement in the fraction of patients free from disease at 2-year from 40% in the control Arm B to 63.2% in the genomically directed Experimental Arm A (corresponding to an HR=0.5), 136 participants will have 80% power to detect a difference in DFS using a two-side log-rank test with 0.05 level of significance.
Present accrual/target accrual: 38 accrued of 136 to be randomized.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Lucitanib is a potent, oral antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors 1-3 (VEGFR1-3), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptors alpha and beta (PDGFRα/β), and Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors 1-3 (FGFR1-3). FGF aberrancies (amplification of FGFR1,or 11q[amplicon containing FGF ligands 3, 4, and 19]), are genomic alterations observed in over 20% of breast cancer pts and promote cancer proliferation and survival.
METHODS: MBC pts who had received at least 1 metastatic line of therapy were randomized 1:1 to 10 or 15 mg QD of lucitanib. Stratification was based on local assessment of FGF aberrancy; pts with both FGFR1 and 11q-amplified tumors were stratified as FGFR1 amplified. Central confirmation of FGFR1 or 11q amplification was done using Abbott FISH probes (FGFR1 or 11q copy number ≥ 6 and a ratio of FGFR1 or 11q to centromere ≥ 2). Investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1, disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DR), and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE).
RESULTS: Enrollment completed in 3/2016; 178 pts that received at least 1 dose of lucitanib are included in this analysis (baseline characteristics in Table 1). Due to grade 3 hypertension in the 15 mg group (46% vs 37% in 10 mg group), enrollment to the 15 mg group was halted. Overall, most pts (97%) experienced at least 1 TEAE, with the most frequently (≥ 30%) occurring events being hypertension (73%), fatigue (48%), nausea (43%), hypothyroidism (40%), and headache (33%). Grade ≥ 3 TEAEs occurred in 66% of pts, with hypertension as the most frequent event (40%) followed by proteinuria and hyponatremia (both 6%). AEs were manageable with dose interruption or reduction, with approximately 8% of pts ending treatment due to an AE. Current median PFS is 3.5 mos (95% CI 2.8-4.6; range 0.62-12.95) and 2.6 mos (95% CI 1.8-2.9; range 0.82-18.87) respectively for the 10 mg and 15 mg treatment groups. No differences in clinical activity were observed by treatment group, FGF aberrancy, hormone receptor or HER2 status. Of the 168 evaluable pts, confirmed ORR was 3%; overall DCR was 27% (32% for pts in the 10 mg group compared to 20% for the 15 mg group); overall mean (standard deviation) DR of 3.3 (1.8) mos.

CONCLUSION: At 10 mg QD, lucitanib has modest activity with manageable toxicity in this heavily pretreated pt population. Future clinical development for lucitanib may focus on alternative biomarkers to identify sensitive tumors and rational combinations with other anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is used frequently to downstage locally advanced tumors and facilitate breast conservation. However, we have previously reported that achievement of radiographic complete response (rCR) or pathologic complete response (pCR) does not impact choice of surgery for many patients. This secondary analysis reports treatment outcomes across 9 NCI comprehensive cancer centers in women receiving both NCT and breast MR imaging to assess whether treatment outcomes among women receiving NCT differs according to choice of locoregional treatment.
Methods:1077 women from 9 institutions were retrospectively identified as having undergone NCT with MR imaging obtained both before and after systemic treatment. Systemic treatment regimen was not prespecified, but receipt of at least 80% of all planned cycles was required prior to final MR imaging. We performed a univariate analysis as well as a multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression to identify covariates associated with overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and time to recurrence (TTR). rCR was defined as no residual enhancement on post-treatment breast MRI.
Results:1077 patients diagnosed and treated with NCT for stage I-III invasive breast cancer from January 1, 2002 to June 16, 2014 were analyzed for all endpoints. Median follow-up was 4.2 years, (range 0.1 to 13 years). Median age of the cohort was 50 years, (range 19-87 years). 473 (43.9%) had ER(+) and/or PR(+)/HER2(-) disease, 348 (32.3%) had HER2(+) disease, and 256 (23.8%) had ER(-)/PR(-)/HER2(-) (triple negative) disease. Mastectomy or breast conserving therapy (BCT) was recorded as the definitive surgery in 675 (62.7%) and 402 (37.3%) of patients, respectively. Radiation receipt was confirmed in 84.1% of BCT and 68.3% of mastectomy patients. Overall there were 134 recurrences, 168 disease events and 89 deaths. Among patients with pCR, there were 7/161 (7.2%) recurrences in those undergoing mastectomy and 6/143 (5.1%) in those undergoing lumpectomy (p=0.81). Among patients who achieved an rCR, there were recurrences in 5% of those undergoing mastectomy and 2.9% in those undergoing lumpectomy (p=0.53). In multivariable analysis of the entire cohort, only clinical stage, ER status and pCR remained independently associated with DFS. Notably, subset analysis showed that lumpectomy was independently associated with improved TTR (HR 0.40; 95% CI 0.17-0.97) in the triple negative group only, but this did not translate into improved DFS with lumpectomy in this group. Radiographic CR as determined by breast MRI accurately predicted presence or absence of pCR in 74% of cases, but was not independently associated with DFS, OS or TTP.
Conclusions:Among a contemporary cohort of women receiving neoadjuvant systemic therapy and breast MR imaging at 9 NCI designated cancer centers, type of surgery did not impact DFS, OS or TTP. The only exception was found in the triple negative group in which the lumpectomy group had a more favorable TTP compared to the mastectomy group. These findings provide additional evidence that in women who are appropriate candidates for lumpectomy after NCT, BCT does not compromise long-term cancer outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Glycoprotein NMB (gpNMB) is an internalizable transmembrane protein overexpressed in approximately 20% of breast cancer (BC), including approximately 40% of TNBC. gpNMB is a poor prognostic marker in BC (Rose CCR 2010) and preclinically has been implicated in tumor invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. GV is a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting the potent cytotoxin monomethylauristatin E (MMAE) to gpNMB overexpressing cancer cells.
In a Phase I/II study and the Phase II "EMERGE" study, GV demonstrated promising activity with TNBC patients (pts) deriving the greatest benefit and exhibiting the highest degree of gpNMB overexpression. GV was well-tolerated with the most frequent treatment-related toxicities consisting of rash, neutropenia, and neuropathy. In subset analyses of the EMERGE trial, objective response rate (ORR) was 30% (7/23) for GV vs. 9% (1/11) for investigator's choice in tumors with gpNMB overexpression (>25% of tumor epithelium); 18% (5/28) vs. 0% (0/11) in TNBC; and 40% (4/10) vs. 0% (0/6) in gpNMB-overexpressing TNBC for GV and IC respectively, with apparent improvements in progression-free survival (PFS; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.11) and overall survival (OS; HR = 0.14).
Trial design
The METRIC Trial (NCT#01997333) is an international (USA, CA, Aus), two-arm phase II study. Pts are randomized 2:1 to GV (1.88 mg/kg IV q 21 days) or capecitabine, a current standard of care for this population (2,500 mg/m2 daily for d1-14, q21 days) until progression or intolerance. Crossover is not permitted.
Eligibility criteria
Key eligibility criteria include: >25% of tumor epithelium gpNMB+ by central immunohistochemistry (IHC) screening of archival tissue; estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor <10% and HER2 negative [0-1+ IHC, or ISH copy number <4.0/ratio <2.0] by local assessment; ECOG 0-1; taxane resistance; anthracycline exposure (if indicated); <2 chemotherapy regimens for advanced BC; measurable disease; no persistent Grade >2 toxicity.
Specific aims
The primary endpoint is PFS per independent, blinded central review committee according to RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints are ORR, duration of response, OS, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Exploratory endpoints are quality of life and/or cancer-related pain.
Statistical methods and target accrual
The trial has 85% power to detect a PFS HR of 0.64 with two sided α = 0.05. The hypothesized median PFS is 4.0 months for capecitabine and 6.25 months for GV. Target accrual is open for 300 pts.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: High tumor GR expression is associated with poor prognosis in estrogen receptor (ER) negative early-stage breast cancer. Co-treatment with M, a GR antagonist, potentiates effects of chemotherapy in ER- breast cancer xenograft studies. Herein we describe results of a phase 1 dose-escalation study of M plus E, with an ongoing dose expansion cohort in pts with GR+ TNBC.
Objectives: Determine 1) safety and tolerability, 2) recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of M + E, and 3) characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical activity of M in pts with GR+ TNBC.
Methods: Eligibility: 1) relapsed/refractory breast, ovarian, prostate, urothelial, sarcoma, or non-small cell lung cancer; 2) 2-5 prior chemotherapy regimens for advanced disease; 3) ECOG PS 0-1; and 4) adequate end-organ function. Study used a 3 + 3 dose escalation scheme. After a 7 day lead-in of M alone, M was administered by mouth daily in combination with E given IV on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle.
Results: 13 pts in Part 1 Dose escalation with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) were treated with M+E: 5 TNBC, 8 GR+ tumors, 2 GR- tumors, and 3 of unknown GR status. Pts were treated at 3 dose levels (DL)[M mg/d, E mg/m2]: 3 at DL1 [600, 1.1] 4 at DL-1a [300, 1.4], and 6 at DL-1 [300, 1.1]. Median duration of treatment was 90+ days. Neutropenia leading to delay of E was dose limiting in 4 pts. CTAE Grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in 10 pts over all DL, but easily managed (9 pts with growth factor support). Other grade 3+ toxicities were neuropathy (2 pts) and onycholysis (1 pt). No other significant toxicity was noted.
RP2D was determined as 300mg/d M and 1.1mg/m2 E. At this DL there were no DLTs. PK of M and E were as predicted from published literature with no evidence of drug-drug interaction (DDI). A total of 6 pts received this dose (3 TNBC; 3 MBC). All 3 TNBC were GR+. 1 had partial response, 1 had stable disease, and 1 had progressive disease.
A phase I/II study of M+E is now in progress. To date, 3 GR+ TNBC pts have been treated for a median of 28+ days.
Conclusion: M + E is a novel combination designed to improve antitumor activity. It is well tolerated with evidence of clinical activity and no evidence of DDI. RP2D is 300mg M + E 1.1mg/m2. Study is ongoing in expansion phase where recruitment is limited to pts with GR+ TNBC. Additional PK and clinical data will be presented.
