Pathologic complete response (pCR) rates for patients with HR+/HER2- high-risk, early-stage breast cancer (EBC) by clinical and molecular features in the phase II I-SPY2 clinical trial.

Background: Hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early-stage breast cancer (EBC) is a heterogenous disease. Identification of better clinical and molecular biomarkers is essential to guide optimal therapy for each patient.

Patients And Methods: We analyzed rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) and distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) for patients with HR+/HER2-negative EBC in eight neoadjuvant arms in the I-SPY2 trial by clinical/molecular features: age, stage, histology, percentage estrogen receptor (ER) positivity, ER/progesterone receptor status, MammaPrint (MP)-High1 (0 to -0.

Gut and oral microbial compositional differences in women with breast cancer, women with ductal carcinoma , and healthy women.

Unlabelled: This study characterized and compared the fecal and oral microbiota from women with early-stage breast cancer (BC), women with ductal carcinoma (DCIS), and healthy women. Fecal and oral samples were collected from newly diagnosed patients prior to any therapy and characterized using 16S rRNA sequencing. Measures of gut microbial alpha diversity were significantly lower in the BC vs healthy cohort.

Receiving a Pathogenic Variant in a Population Breast Cancer Screening Trial: A Mixed Method Study.

Introduction: Risk-based breast cancer screening aims to address persistent high morbidity and mortality. This study examined the experience of participants in the Women Informed to Screen Depending on Measures of Risk (WISDOM) trial who received a pathogenic variant in one of nine high or moderate penetrance breast cancer genes.

Methods: Participants completed a brief survey (n = 181) immediately following the results disclosure and 1 year later.

Datopotamab-deruxtecan plus durvalumab in early-stage breast cancer: the sequential multiple assignment randomized I-SPY2.2 phase 2 trial.

Sequential adaptive trial designs can help accomplish the goals of personalized medicine, optimizing outcomes and avoiding unnecessary toxicity. Here we describe the results of incorporating a promising antibody-drug conjugate, datopotamab-deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with programmed cell death-ligand 1 inhibitor, durvalumab, as the first sequence of therapy in the I-SPY2.2 phase 2 neoadjuvant sequential multiple assignment randomization trial for high-risk stage 2/3 breast cancer.

Implementation and impact of an electronic patient reported outcomes system in a phase II multi-site adaptive platform clinical trial for early-stage breast cancer.

Objectives: We describe the development and implementation of a system for monitoring patient-reported adverse events and quality of life using electronic Patient Reported Outcome (ePRO) instruments in the I-SPY2 Trial, a phase II clinical trial for locally advanced breast cancer. We describe the administration of technological, workflow, and behavior change interventions and their associated impact on questionnaire completion.

Materials And Methods: Using the OpenClinica electronic data capture system, we developed rules-based logic to build automated ePRO surveys, customized to the I-SPY2 treatment schedule.
