Prognostic factor Ki67 for breast cancer patients in each subgroup.<br />

Presenting Author: Naoki Niikura, Tokai University School <strong>of</strong> Medicine,<br />

Isehara Kanagawa, Japan<br />

Background: Immunohistochemical (IHC) Ki67 has described it as a<br />

prognostic and predictive marker for breast cancer. The St. Gallen<br />

Consensus <strong>Meeting</strong> determined that Ki67 labeling index is chiefly important<br />

for distinguishing between “Luminal A” and “Luminal B (HER2<br />

negative)” subtypes and is a predictive marker for chemotherapeutic<br />

efficacy. However, the high and low cut<strong>of</strong>f points remain controversial. Our<br />

objective is to compare survival in patients with low, intermediate, and high<br />

Ki67 levels in each subgroup. Methods: We retrospectively identified all the<br />

patients in the Tokai University breast cancer database for whom IHC Ki67<br />

data were available between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2010.<br />

Ki67 was defined as low if �10% Ki67 was detected, as Intermediate if<br />

10–20% Ki67 was detected, and as high if �20% Ki67 was detected. To<br />

assess Ki67 levels and survival outcomes, survival curves were calculated<br />

using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared using the log-rank test.<br />

Results: We identified 1331 primary breast cancer patients without<br />

metastasis, <strong>of</strong> whom 686 received neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.<br />

Patients with high Ki67 had poorer relapse-free survival (RFS) than<br />

patients with intermediate (p � 0.009) and low Ki67 (p � 0.001). Patients<br />

with intermediate Ki67 had poorer RFS than patients with low Ki67 (p �<br />

0.001). In ER-positive cases (n � 1059), patients with high and intermediate<br />

Ki67 had poorer RFS than patients with low Ki67 (p � 0.001 and p �<br />

0.002, respectively). In HER2-positive and ER-negative cases (n � 103),<br />

patients with high Ki67 had poorer RFS than patients with low Ki67 (p �<br />

0.002). In triple-negative cases (n � 164), patients with high Ki67 tended<br />

to have poorer RFS than patients with low Ki67 (p � 0.064). Conclusions:<br />

Our data demonstrated that low, intermediate, and high Ki67 levels may be<br />

used to differentiate prognosis in ER-positive cancer patients as well as<br />

HER2-positive and triple-negative cancer patients.<br />

Characterization <strong>of</strong> the overall survival benefit in ENCORE 301, a randomized<br />

placebo-controlled phase II study <strong>of</strong> exemestane with and without<br />

entinostat in ER� postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer.<br />

Presenting Author: Pamela Klein, PMK Consulting, San Mateo, CA<br />

Background: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) prevent the emergence<br />

<strong>of</strong> drug tolerant clones and sensitize cells to a variety <strong>of</strong> anti-cancer<br />

therapies. We previously reported ENCORE 301, a randomized placebo<br />

controlled phase 2 study comparing exemestane with (EE) and without (EP)<br />

the HDACi entinostat met its primary endpoint <strong>of</strong> prolonging progression<br />

free survival (PFS) (4.3 months vs 2.3 months) and extending overall<br />

survival (OS) benefit (26.9 vs 19.8 months). In order to characterize and<br />

better understand the OS benefit, exploratory analyses were conducted.<br />

Methods: Hazard ratios (HR) for treatment were estimated from the Cox<br />

proportional hazards model, with EP serving as the reference treatment in<br />

the calculations. Inferential comparisons between treatment groups were<br />

made using the log-rank test. Results: Analysis <strong>of</strong> OS across multiple<br />

subsets <strong>of</strong> interest demonstrated a consistent benefit in EE group versus<br />

EP. Sensitivity analysis <strong>of</strong> baseline characteristics potentially impacting<br />

OS did not identify any factors that influenced the effect <strong>of</strong> EE on OS.<br />

Examination <strong>of</strong> treatments received during follow-up after discontinuation<br />

<strong>of</strong> EE and EP demonstrated balance between treatment group for patients<br />

receiving chemotherapy (48% EE: 44% EP), hormone therapy (37% EE:<br />

35% EP), bisphosphonates (2% EE; 0% EP), radiation (6% EE; 5%EP),<br />

and surgery (0% EE: 2% EP). Compared to EP, OS was longer in EE group<br />

for patients whose first subsequent treatment was a hormone therapy (EE<br />

median not reached vs EP median 20.5 months; HR 0.65 [95% CI 0.26,<br />

1.58]) or chemotherapy (EE median 26.9 months vs EP median 17.6<br />

months; HR 0.51 [95% CI 0.25, 1.04]). Updated PFS and OS data will<br />

also be presented along with correlation analysis <strong>of</strong> PFS and OS. Conclusions:<br />

Analyses <strong>of</strong> baseline characteristics, subsequent treatment and subsets <strong>of</strong><br />

prognostic factors in ENCORE 301 did not identify any contributing factors<br />

that account for the extended OS benefit in the EE treatment group. Long<br />

lasting effects <strong>of</strong> entinostat on progenitor cells, emergence <strong>of</strong> drug tolerant<br />

cells and or priming to subsequent therapies cannot be ruled out.<br />

Prognostic significance <strong>of</strong> PI3K pathway (PI3Kp) dysregulation in metastatic<br />

breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts). Presenting Author: Alejandro Navarro,<br />

Medical Oncology Department, Vall d’Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona,<br />

Spain<br />

Background: PI3Kp dysregulation represents a potential target for therapies that<br />

are currently being tested in clinical trials. This observational retrospective study<br />

aims to evaluate the prognostic implications <strong>of</strong> PI3Kp dysregulation in MBC.<br />

Methods: MBC pts with PI3Kp status assessment from Sep09 to Sep11 were<br />

reviewed. PIK3CA mutation status analyzed in paraffin-embedded tissue by DxS<br />

PI3K Mutation Test Kit or Sequenom MassARRAY. PTEN status determined by<br />

IHC. PI3Kp status: (a) No dysregulation: PIK3CA wt and PTEN normal; (b)<br />

PI3Kp dysregulation: PIK3CA mutation (PIK3CAmut) or PTEN low (HScore�50).<br />

Results: 232 MBC pts screened, median age 49.8 (22.9-83.1) and median MBC<br />

lines 4 (1-15). Distribution: HR�/HER2- 99 (43%), HER2� 52 (22%), triple<br />

negative 35 (15%), unclassified 46 (20%). Sites <strong>of</strong> metastasis: visceral 173<br />

(75%), only skin 10 (4%), only bone 49 (21%). PIK3CA status assessed in 174<br />

pts, 53 (22.8%) bearing a mutation (21 exon9, 32 exon20). PTEN status<br />

assessed in 229 pts, PTEN low 61 (26.6%). PI3Kp dysregulation in 103/185<br />

pts (55.6%). Time to progression to first line MBC treatment (TTP) and overall<br />

survival after MBC diagnosis (OS) are shown. Disease free survival (DFS) and<br />

distant-disease free survival (DDFS) in pts initially diagnosed with early breast<br />

cancer (n�193) has also been calculated. Conclusions: These results suggest<br />

that PI3Kp dysregulation, either by PIK3CA mutation or PTEN low, does not<br />

seem to have impact on disease recurrence, response to first line MBC treatment<br />

or overall MBC survival.<br />

Prospective study <strong>of</strong> the impact <strong>of</strong> using the 21-gene recurrence score<br />

assay on clinical decision making in women with estrogen receptorpositive,<br />

HER2-negative, early-stage breast cancer in France. Presenting<br />

Author: Joseph Gligorov, APHP Tenon APREC, CancerEst, University Paris<br />

VI, Paris, France<br />

Background: The 21-gene Oncotype DX Recurrence Score (RS) is a<br />

validated assay to help inform the appropriate treatment <strong>of</strong> estrogen<br />

receptor-positive (ER�), early stage breast cancer in the adjuvant setting.<br />

Treatment traditions regarding choice <strong>of</strong> adjuvant treatment vary significantly<br />

in different countries. This prospective multicenter study is the first<br />

to assess the impact <strong>of</strong> using the Oncotype DX assay in the French clinical<br />

setting. Methods: A total <strong>of</strong> 100 consecutive patients with ER�, HER2negative,<br />

node negative or pN1 (mi) breast cancer were enrolled. Overall<br />

treatment recommendation change, change from chemoendocrine to<br />

endocrine alone and change from endocrine alone to chemoendocrine<br />

treatment were recorded. Medical oncologists completed questionnaires<br />

regarding their confidence in their recommendation before and after<br />

knowing the patient’s RS. A preliminary analysis was conducted on the first<br />

92 evaluable patients with data available at the time <strong>of</strong> abstract submission.<br />

Final data will be presented at the meeting. Results: Prior to Oncotype<br />

DX 49% <strong>of</strong> patients were recommended chemoendocrine treatment and<br />

51% endocrine treatment alone. After having the RS, 26% were recommended<br />

chemoendocrine treatment and 74% endocrine treatment alone.<br />

The overall reduction in chemotherapy recommendation from 49% to 26%<br />

was significant (p�0.001). Of patients originally recommended chemoendocrine<br />

treatment, 58% were changed to endocrine treatment alone after<br />

having the RS. Of patients originally recommended endocrine treatment,<br />

11% were changed to chemoendocrine treatment after receiving the RS.<br />

There was a significant improvement in physician confidence in treatment<br />

recommendations (p�0.002) when using Oncotype DX. Conclusions: These<br />

are the first prospective data regarding the impact <strong>of</strong> using Oncotype DX in<br />

France. Using Oncotype DX was associated with a significant change in<br />

treatment decisions and an overall reduction in chemotherapy use. The<br />

data are consistent with those presented from Germany, Spain, the UK and<br />

the US.<br />
