Low risk but still … might opt for chemotherapy L Pusztai & al; ASCO 2008 Predicted not to be sensitive either to T/FAC or Tamoxifen Suggest Clinical Trial May do well with current best chemo and endocrine therapies Four different genomic outcome predictors applied to the 198 cases from the TRANSBIG data: (i) 70-gene MammaPrintTM prognostic signature, the Genomic Grade Index prognostic index (GGI) (iii) a 200-gene endocrine sensitivity index (SET) and (iv) a second generation phenotype-specific Paclitaxel-FAC chemotherapy response predictor
CONCLUSIONS • Patients predicted to be at low risk for recurrence are predicted to be mainly sensitive to HT. However, 6% of these low risk by MammaPrint pts were also predicted to achieve excellent pathologic response to CT, and thus might consider adjuvant CT as a reasonable option. • 40-50% of high risk patients are predicted to be refractory to existing therapies & need clinical trials of new agents. • Simultaneous prediction of risk of recurrence and sensitivity to endocrine- and chemo-therapies is currently possible and could allow more personalized treatment decisions in the future.

UPDATE ON BCIRG 006 at SABCS 06 (D. Slamon) • AC → TH ≈ TCH • even when TOPO II is co-amplified !!! UPDATE ON BCIRG 006 at SABCS 07 (D. Slamon) AC-T = AC-TH = TCH when TOPO II is co-amplified ONLY POSSIBLE CLINICAL RECOMMENDATION: TCH is a very good option and should be chosen when cardiac risk factors or c.i. for anthracyclines are present

TRASTUZUMAB IN THE METASTATIC SETTING Highly selected population Using a targeted agent HOWEVER Responses in only ± 50% patients Median duration of response: 9 to 12 months RESISTANCE TO TRASTUZUMAB (DE NOVO AND ACQUIRED)
POTENTIAL MECHANISMS OF RESISTANCE TO TRASTUZUMAB • IS THE TARGET PRESENT? • HER-2 status: Technical limitations (IHC; FISH; central evaluation) • IS THE TARGET ACTIVE? • Role of truncated HER-2 receptor(p95-HER-2) • Role of activated form of HER-2 (p-HER-2) • Mechanical blockade of the receptor (Mucin 1 or 4 Interference) • IS THE TARGET BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY?(HER-2 as transcription factor) • ROLE OF POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL TARGETS • Other HER family members: Upregulation of HER1 or HER3 • ROLE OF REDUNDANT PATHWAYS • PI3K / AKT, IGF-IR pathways, MAP-kinase, ER pathway • Role of immune function, ↑ expression of growth factors (ligands), etc
POTENTIAL WAYS OF OVERCOMING RESISTANCE TO TRASTUZUMAB • OPTIMAL SELECTION OF PATIENTS • Quality of HER-2 testing is essential (high level of discordance between central & local labs for both IHC & FISH) • Primary vs. Metastatic sites • Use of other predictive markers: c-myc; p95HER2; PTEN; pHER-2; ECD-HER2; survivin; patterns of HER-receptors co-expression and/or of functional HER-2 heterodimers; • USE OF OTHER ANTI-HER-2 AGENTS(Lapatinib, HKI-272, Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab-DM1, HSP-90 inhibitors) • “MULTI-TARGETED THERAPY” • Simultaneous blockage of same pathway in several sites(pan-HER inhibitors) • Simultaneous blockage of redundant pathways: combinations with other biological agents(IGF-I inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, AKT or mTOR inhibitors, MAPK inhibitors)
ECD/ p95: POTENTIAL DISCRIMINATIVE MARKER BETWEEN T vs L • P95 is a truncated HER-2 receptor which lacks the external domain (do not bind trastuzumab) • Approximately 25% of breast cancers express p95, 9% of breast cancers high levels of p95 - it predicts worse outcome • Truncated receptor demonstrates increased kinase activity and transforming potential serum 185kd p95 Trastuzumab binds to extracellular domain and can not inhibit “free” p95 Saez et al, Clin Can Res 12:424, 2006
