Neratinib plus fulvestrant plus trastzuzumab (N+F+T) for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative, HER2-mutant metastatic breast cancer (MBC): Outcomes and biomarker analysis from the SUMMIT trial.

Abstract

1028 Background: N is an oral, irreversible pan-HER TKI with activity against HER2 mutations. Genomic analyses from the SUMMIT MBC cohort following N±F suggest that resistance to N may occur via mutant allele amplification or secondary HER2 mutations. Adding T to N+F in SUMMIT showed encouraging durable responses in patients (pts) with HR+, HER2-mutant MBC and prior CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i). Methods: SUMMIT (NCT01953926) enrolled pts with HR+, HER2-negative MBC with activating HER2 mutation(s) and prior CDK4/6i. Pts received N+F+T (oral N 240 mg/d with loperamide prophylaxis, im F 500 mg d1&15 of cycle 1 then q4w, iv T 8 mg/kg initially then 6 mg/kg q3w). During the small, randomized portion of the trial, pts received N+F+T, F+T or F (1:1:1 ratio). Pts randomized to F+T or F could crossover to N+F+T at progression. Efficacy endpoints: investigator-assessed ORR and CBR (RECIST v1.1); DOR; best overall response. Pre-treatment tumor tissue was centrally assessed retrospectively by next-generation sequencing. ctDNA from patient samples was assessed by NGS. Results: SUMMIT has completed enrolment; we report efficacy from 45 pts in the N+F+T cohort, plus 10 pts who progressed on F (n=6) or F+T (n=4) and crossed over to N+F+T (Table). HER2 allelic variants in the 45 N+F+T pts and ORR (%) (pts may have >1 mutation) were: V777L (n=6, 50%), L755S/P (n=15, 40%), S310F (n=4, 50%), exon 20 insertion (n=11, 36%), other KD missense (n=6, 33%), TMD missense (n=2, 0%), exon 19 deletion (n=1, 0%). Conclusions: N+F+T is a promising combination for HR+, HER2-mutated MBC with prior exposure to CDK4/6i, across a range of activating HER2 mutations. Results from the upcoming Apr 2022 data cut, including biomarkers, safety, mechanisms of acquired resistance, and preclinical mechanism of N+T, will be presented.
