Abstract

Abstract Background Today, there is no clear therapeutic algorithm for patients with metastatic HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC) who have progressed to trastuzumab, pertuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Among the emerging strategies, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination therapy is showing promising clinical benefit in the advanced setting of HER2+ BC by overcoming immune resistance and enhancing antitumor cellular immunity. The intrinsic subtypes Basal-like and HER2-enriched (i.e PAM50 non-luminal tumors) represent approximately the 60% of HER2+ BC and are associated with higher expression of immune-related genes, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) presence and high tumor mutational burden (TMB), compared to luminal subtypes. Additionally, immune infiltration and TMB in HER2+ BC are associated with chemo/antiHER2 responsiveness and with potential benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. We hypothesize that combining atezolizumab with trastuzumab and vinorelbine may improve outcomes in HR- or PAM50 non-luminal/HR-positive (HR+) disease within HER2+ MBC. Methods ATREZZO is an open-label, single-arm, Simon 2-stage, multicenter phase II study. The trial will include 55 pre- or post-menopausal female or male patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR- or PAM50 non-luminal/HR+ HER2+ BC and progressed to trastuzumab-based chemotherapy and anti-HER2 ADC. Prior pertuzumab is allowed, but not required. Treatment consists of atezolizumab IV 1200 mg every 3 weeks combined with trastuzumab and vinorelbine. Patients with stable, progressing, or untreated brain metastasis not requiring immediate local therapy are eligible. The primary objective is to evaluate the Overall Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST v 1.1 and secondary endpoints include ORR in patients with PD-L1 positive breast cancer, clinical benefit rate, overall survival and progression-free survival. The final recruited population will contain no more than 60 % of patients with PD-L1 negative tumors. Tumor assessments will be performed every 9 weeks. Incidence, duration and severity of adverse events, and further correlative molecular analyses will be also evaluated. An interim analysis will be conducted when 19 patients are evaluable for ORR and if the number of responses is ≥ 3, 36 additional patients will be included. As of July 15th, 2022, 48 patients were screened and 15 were included in sixteen Spanish sites. This study was funded by Roche Farma SA.
