Abstract CT141: Genetic landscape of premenopausal HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC) based on comprehensive circulating tumor DNA analysis and association with clinical outcomes in the Phase III MONALEESA-7 trial

Abstract

Abstract Background: The genetic landscape of premenopausal hormone receptor-positive (HR+) ABC is not well understood. The Phase III MONALEESA-7 study (NCT02278120), the first trial of endocrine therapy ± a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor for premenopausal patients (pts) with HR+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) ABC, demonstrated that the addition of ribociclib (RIB) to a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) or tamoxifen (TAM) + goserelin (GOS) significantly extended progression-free survival (PFS; Tripathy D, et al. Lancet Oncol. 2018). We conducted a comprehensive ctDNA genomic analysis from MONALEESA-7. Methods: Premenopausal pts with HR+/HER2- ABC were randomized 1:1 to RIB or placebo (PBO) + NSAI (letrozole [LET] or anastrozole) or TAM + GOS. Plasma samples for ctDNA analysis were collected at baseline and end of treatment. ctDNA was analyzed using next-generation sequencing (targeted panel of 550 genes). Results: Among the 489 pts with ctDNA analyzed at baseline, the most common alterations were in PIK3CA (28%), TP53 (19%), CCND1 (11%), MYC (8%), and GATA3 (8%). Poorer prognosis in both treatment groups was most evident in patients with TP53 and MYC alterations. A PFS treatment effect in favor of RIB was noted in all subsets, independent of biomarker status (Table). However, based on HR, a trend for more pronounced benefit with RIB + NSAI/TAM + GOS was observed in pts with altered CCND1, GATA3, and genes involved in receptor tyrosine kinase signaling. Conclusions: RIB + NSAI/TAM + GOS provided PFS benefit irrespective of baseline biomarker alteration status and represents recommended first-line therapy for pts with premenopausal HR+/HER2- ABC. The genetic landscape of premenopausal ABC might modulate the magnitude of therapeutic benefit; these novel findings require confirmation in additional biomarker studies.
