New HER2 Antibody-drug Conjugate Yielded Promising Clinical Responses in Breast Cancer Patients Pretreated with T-DM1:

ABSTRACTPublication Number: GS1-03 [Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd; DS-8201a) in subjects with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with T-DM1: A phase 2, multicenter, open-label study (DESTINY-Breast01)

Ian E Krop, Cristina Saura, Toshinari Yamashita, Yeon Hee Park, et al. 

Conclusion Overall, T-DXd treatment demonstrated clinically meaningful and durable activity in a heavily pretreated patient population with HER2-positive metastatic BC. T-DXd had a generally manageable safety profile, with ILD identified as a risk warranting proactive awareness and management.

Updated APHINITY Trial Data Show Addition of Pertuzumab to Trastuzumab Plus Chemotherapy Continues to Yield Clinical Benefit in Patients With Operable HER2-positive Early Breast Cancer:

ABSTRACT Publication Number: GS1-04 Interim overall survival analysis of APHINITY (BIG 4-11): A randomized multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing chemotherapy plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab versus chemotherapy plus trastuzumab plus placebo as adjuvant therapy in patients with operable HER2-positive early breast cancer 

Martine Piccart, Marion Procter, Debora Fumagalli, Evandro de Azambuja, et al. 

Conclusion The benefit of Pin HER2+ early BC is maintained, with the greatest benefit continuing to be observed in the node positive population. With longer follow-up, the benefit of P no longer appears to depend on HR status. Continued follow up of patients is very important to determine possible benefit for OS. A calendar-driven third interim OS analysis is planned in 2.5 years, and the event-driven final OS analysis is planned when 640 deaths have occurred.

 

Addition of S-1 to Post-operative Endocrine Therapy Improves Outcomes for Patients with Hormone Receptor-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer:

ABSTRACT Publication Number: GS1-09 Addition of S-1 to endocrine therapy in the post-operative adjuvant treatment of hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative primary breast cancer: A multicenter, open-label, phase 3 randomized trial(POTENT trial)

Masakazu Toi, Shigeru Imoto, Takanori Ishida, Yoshinori Ito, et al.

Conclusion It was concluded that the postoperative adjuvant use of an oral fluoropyrimidine S-1 significantly reducediDFS events and improved 5-year iDFS estimate in PBC patients having HR-positive and HER2-negative disease, in the combination with standard endocrine therapy, with a feasible safety profile.
