First Line Treatment Approach (2001-2011)

• A number of effective options with chemo and anti-her2– Taxanes and Herceptin– Vinorelbine and Herceptin– Capecitabine and Anti-Her2– Doublet chemo with Her 2 generally not used

• Select group of patients may benefit from an anti-Her2 and anti-estrogen approach

KADCYLA is a HER2-targeted antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate consisting of• HERCEPTIN, a humanized anti-HER2 IgG1 monoclonal

antibody• DM1, a cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor derived from

maytansine− on average, KADCYLA has 3.5 DM1 molecules per

antibody• MCC, a stable thioether linker, covalently linking HERCEPTIN

to DM1

Antibody (HERCEPTIN)

Page 18: Optimizing Treatment for Her 2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Sunil Verma MD, MSEd, FRCPC Medical Oncologist Chair, Breast Medical Oncology

In vitro studies in human breast cancer cells that overexpress HER2 have shown that, like HERCEPTIN, KADCYLA

• Binds subdomain IV of the HER2 extracellular domain• Inhibits HER2 signaling • Mediates antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity

(ADCC) • Inhibits shedding of the HER2 extracellular domain

T-DM1Retains Activity of Herceptinf

Page 19: Optimizing Treatment for Her 2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Sunil Verma MD, MSEd, FRCPC Medical Oncologist Chair, Breast Medical Oncology

KADCYLA has the additional MOA of DM1. Upon binding to HER2, KADCYLA

undergoes• Receptor-mediated internalization • Subsequent lysosomal degradation• Intracellular release of DM1-containing cytotoxic catabolites• DM1 binding to tubulin, disrupting microtubule networks in the cell,

resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death

Page 24: Optimizing Treatment for Her 2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Sunil Verma MD, MSEd, FRCPC Medical Oncologist Chair, Breast Medical Oncology

SummaryFirst Line• The standard of care should consist of

pertuzumab and trastuzumab along with docetaxel (?other taxane alternative)

• T-DM1 looks very promising in the first line and may be suited for selected patients– Not candidates for chemotherapy– DFI < 6 months– Contraindication to taxanes

24

Page 25: Optimizing Treatment for Her 2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Sunil Verma MD, MSEd, FRCPC Medical Oncologist Chair, Breast Medical Oncology

Future QuestionsFirst Line• Can we combine Pertuzumab and Herceptin

with other partners– Other taxanes– Other chemotherapies (Vinorelbine/Capecitabine)– Other biologics – T-DM1/Bevacizumab

• Developing effective drugs that can target brain metastases

• Duration of targeted therapy for those responding

Second Line(2006-2010)

• There is continued benefit of trastuzumab beyond progression– Capecitabine and Trastuzumab

• There is benefit of Lapatinib in combination with Capecitabine upon progression on Trastuzumab

The PI3K pathway and Breast Cancer

• Constitutive activation of the PI3K pathway is frequent.

• PI3K pathway activation conveys malignant transformation, cell growth and invasion, tumor neoangiogensis and resistance towards anti-cancer treatments.

• Known mechanisms of PI3K pathway activation include activating mutations of RTKs, gain-of-function mutation of the PIK3CA gene, and loss-of-function mutations of PTEN.

SummarySecond Line and Beyond• T-DM1 offers significant clinical benefit and superior

toxicity profile and is very effective for second line Her 2 + treatment

• Patients progressing on T-DM1 still may derive a benefit from ongoing systemic tx with chemo with anti-Her 2 approaches

• The role of Lapatinib has evolved and now is generally considered in third or later lines of treatment. One may consider earlier use if:– Progressive brain metastases despite radiation– Lack of response to first/second line of herceptin– ? Biomarkers – p95 still needs to be validated

Future Questions

• Is there a benefit of Pertuzumab or T-DM1 (along with other partners) beyond progression?

• What is the effect on tumor biology once patients progress on Pertuzumab/T-DM1?– What are potential targeted agents that may help

overcome resistance?• What will be the role of PI3K inhibitors in second line +

treatment?• Who are the ideal patients for dual targeted treatment

alone?

• An exploratory subgroup analysis was performed for patients who had received prior neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant trastuzumab therapy (88 patients).

– The observed hazard ratio of 0.68 (95% CI 0.30−1.55) indicates overall survival benefit in the pertuzumab arm

ConclusionRaising the Bar

• The outcome of patients with Her 2 positive breast cancer has significantly improved in the past two decades

• Novel targeted drugs are improving survival and reducing toxicity for patients with advanced breast cancer

• The future looks quite bright as we can now envision a total targeted approach for some of these patients…..and an overall survival in excess of five years for some of our patients!
