1 Update on neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer

2 «IS PATHOLOGIC COMPLETE RESPONSE STILL A GOOD SURROGATE OF SURVIVAL?»

3 Complete histological response varies according to tumoral type pcr (%) Luminal A (N=572) Luminal B (HER2-) (N=211) Luminal B (HER2+) (N=281) HER2+ (non-luminal) (N=178) Triple-negative N=362) Untch M, et al J Clin Oncol. 2010, Apr 20;28(12):

4 Prognostic impact of pathologic complete response (pcr) on disease-free survival (DFS) in 4,193 patients according to breast cancer intrinsic subtype. with luminal A luminal B, HER2 neg luminal B, HER2 pos pcr rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with better outcome only for patients with: HER2-positive/hormone receptor negative or triple-negative and some more aggressive HER2-negative/hormone HER2-positive (nonluminal luminal B, HER2 neg receptor positive tumours.

5 Update HER2+++ breast cancers What s new?

6 Unresolved questions Noah study (and other phase II studies) have shown that Traztuzumab should be added to chemotherapy in neoadjuvant setting Questions : Traztuzumab and Anthracyclins combination? Precocity of Traztuzumab use?

7 Trastuzumab and anthracyclin Joint use of anthracyclin and Trastuzumab in neoadjuvant studies in HER2+++ patients, acceptable toxicity This combination is doubtfull as for its innocuousness Retrospective analysis of 583 patients who received anthracyclins and Traztuzumab (3 neoadjuvant trials) Cardiac toxicity rate (linear variable ) Increase cardiac toxicity (OR = 1,95, 95% CI 1,16-3,29) 44 cardiac events in the group with T vs 28 in the group without T Bozovic-Spasojevic ILancet Oncol Mar;12(3):209-11

8 What is the optimal time for Traztuzumab initiation? There are no direct data answering to this question as there are no studies comparing Traztuzumab in neoadjuvant vs adjuvant setting (except Remagus study.) In metastatic setting, arguments in favor of an early use (1) In adjuvant setting (NCCTG) in favor of an early use With a 6 years follow up DFS (2) AC-P (12 weeks) = 71,9 % AC-P (12 weeks then )-T = 80,1 % AC-PT (concommitant) = 84,2 % HR : 0,69 [0,57-0,85], p = 0,0005 HR : 0,75 [0,60-1,11], p = 0,02 (1) Marty et al, J clin oncol, 2005, (23) (2) Perez EA J Clin Oncol. 2011, 29(34):

39 Conclusion The neoadjuvant setting gives the unique opportunity to get insights in breast cancer biology It allows: to evaluate new therapies to find predictive factors for better individualization of the treatment.
