AI Article Synopsis

  • Trastuzumab combined with S-1 and oxaliplatin (T-SOX130) was tested as a first-line treatment for HER2 advanced gastric cancer in a phase II trial involving 42 Japanese patients.
  • The trial found an impressive response rate of 82.1% and a disease control rate of 87.2%, with some patients even undergoing curative surgery.
  • Notable side effects included thrombocytopenia and anorexia, but overall, T-SOX130 demonstrated a promising safety profile and should be a viable treatment option for HER2 advanced gastric cancer patients.

Article Abstract

Background: Trastuzumab (T-mab) combined with cisplatin and fluoropyrimidines is a standard first-line treatment for HER2 advanced gastric cancer (AGC). We conducted the first phase II trial among four Japanese study groups to assess the efficacy and safety of T-mab + S-1 and oxaliplatin (T-SOX130) for HER2 AGC or recurrent gastric cancer.

Methods: Patients with IHC 3 or IHC 2/FISH tumors received 80 mg/m (80-120 mg/day) oral S-1 on days 1-14, 130 mg/m intravenous oxaliplatin on day 1, and intravenous T-mab (8 mg/kg loading dose, 6 mg/kg thereafter) on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was centrally assessed response rate (RR). Adverse events were based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Ver.4.0.

Results: We enrolled 42 patients from June 2015 to May 2016. Efficacy and safety analyses were conducted for 39 patients. The data cutoff was May 31, 2018. The confirmed RR was 82.1% (32/39; 90% CI 70.0-90.0); the disease control rate was 87.2% (34/39; 95% CI 73.3-94.4). Nine patients underwent curative surgery after T-SOX130. Median Time to treatment failure (TTF), Progression-free survival (PFS) and Overall survival (OS) was 5.7 (95% CI 4.6-7.0), 7.0 (95% CI 5.5-14.1), and 27.6 (95% CI 15.6-Not reached) months, respectively. Incidences of grade 3-4 adverse events > 10% were thrombocytopenia (17.9%), anorexia (17.9%), anemia (12.8%), neutropenia (10.3%), and hyponatremia (10.3%).

Conclusions: T-SOX130 showed promising response and survival with a favorable safety profile and should be considered for patients with HER2 AGC.

Purpose: Receptor CUB-domain containing- protein 1 (CDCP1) was evaluated as a target for detection and treatment of breast cancer.

Experimental Design: CDCP1 expression was assessed immunohistochemically in tumors from 423 patients (119 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); 75 HER2+; 229 ER+/HER2- including 228 primary tumors, 229 lymph node and 47 distant metastases). Cell cytotoxicity induced in vitro by a CDCP1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), consisting of the human/mouse chimeric antibody ch10D7 and the microtubule disruptor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), was quantified, including in combination with HER2-targeting ADC T-DM1.

This research aims to optimize adjuvant ovarian function suppression (OFS) for premenopausal Indian women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) /human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) early breast cancer (eBC). To address specific challenges identified in clinical practice, a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 21 statements was developed. These statements were reviewed and validated by a scientific committee, ensuring their accuracy and relevance to the study's objectives.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a unique breast cancer subtype characterized by the lack of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression in tumor cells. TNBC represents about 15% to 20% of all breast cancers and is aggressive and highly malignant. Currently, TNBC diagnosis primarily depends on pathological examination, while treatment efficacy is assessed through imaging, biomarker detection, pathological evaluation, and clinical symptom improvement.

HER2 positive primary breast squamous cell carcinoma with good prognosis: a case report.

AME Case Rep

November 2024

Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnosis, Shijiazhuang Pingan Hospital, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.

Background: Primary breast squamous cell carcinoma (PBSCC) is a unique histopathological type of breast cancer. The majority of current case reports of PBSCC are triple-negative tumors with poor prognosis. Due to its heterogeneous clinical course, no unified management is achieved.

The 2018 ASCO/CAP guidelines for HER2 testing for breast cancer implemented the addition of immunohistochemistry (IHC) directed in situ hybridization (ISH) recount to resolve equivocal results. The implementation of an additional 2+ IHC-directed ISH recount adds additional complexity to the testing workflow for an unclear impact on HER2 results. A retrospective review of all equivocal ISH cases (groups 2, 3, and 4) that underwent 2+ IHC-directed ISH, since the 2018 guidelines, which were finalized as either amplified or not amplified, was performed.
