The treatment landscape for HR(+)HER2(-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is evolving for patients with ESR1 mutations (mut) and PI3K/AKT pathway genomic alterations (GA). We sought to inform clinical utility for comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using tissue (TBx) and liquid biopsies (LBx) in HR(+)HER2(-) MBC.
Records from a de-identified breast cancer clinicogenomic database for patients who underwent TBx/LBx testing at Foundation Medicine during routine clinical care at ~ 280 US cancer clinics between 01/2011 and 09/2023 were assessed. GA prevalence [ESR1mut, PIK3CAmut, AKT1mut, PTENmut, and PTEN homozygous copy loss (PTENloss)] were calculated in TBx and LBx [stratified by ctDNA tumor fraction (TF)] during the first three lines of therapy. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (rwOS) were compared between groups by Cox models adjusted for prognostic factors.
~ 60% of cases harbored 1 + GA in 1st-line TBx (1266/2154) or LBx TF ≥ 1% (80/126) and 26.5% (43/162) in LBx TF < 1%. ESR1mut was found in 8.1% TBx, 17.5% LBx TF ≥ 1%, and 4.9% LBx TF < 1% in 1st line, increasing to 59% in 3rd line (LBx TF ≥ 1%). PTENloss was detected at higher rates in TBx (4.3%) than LBx (1% in TF ≥ 1%). Patients receiving 1st-line aromatase inhibitor + CDK4/6 inhibitor (n = 573) with ESR1mut had less favorable rwPFS and rwOS versus ESR1 wild-type; no differences were observed for fulvestrant + CDK4/6 inhibitor (n = 348).
Our study suggests obtaining TBx for CGP at time of de novo/recurrent diagnosis, followed by LBx for detecting acquired GA in 2nd + lines. Reflex TBx should be considered when ctDNA TF < 1%.
对于存在 ESR1 突变(mut)和 PI3K/AKT 通路基因组改变(GA)的 HR(+)HER2(-)转移性乳腺癌(MBC)患者,其治疗格局正在不断发展。我们旨在通过组织(TBx)和液体活检(LBx)为 HR(+)HER2(-)MBC 患者的全面基因组分析(CGP)提供临床实用性信息。
评估了 2011 年 1 月至 2023 年 9 月期间,在 280 家美国癌症诊所的常规临床护理期间,在 Foundation Medicine 进行 TBx/LBx 检测的患者的匿名乳腺癌临床基因组数据库中的记录。在一线治疗的前 3 个疗程中,根据 ctDNA 肿瘤分数(TF)对 TBx 和 LBx 中 GA 流行率(ESR1mut、PIK3CAmut、AKT1mut、PTENmut 和 PTEN 纯合性拷贝丢失(PTENloss))进行了计算。通过 Cox 模型调整预后因素,比较各组间的真实无进展生存期(rwPFS)和总生存期(rwOS)。
在一线 TBx(1266/2154)或 LBx TF≥1%(80/126)中,约 60%的病例存在 1 种+GA,而在 LBx TF<1%中则为 26.5%(43/162)。在一线治疗中,TBx 中发现 ESR1mut 为 8.1%,LBx TF≥1%为 17.5%,LBx TF<1%为 4.9%,而在三线治疗中增加到 59%(LBx TF≥1%)。在 TBx 中检测到的 PTENloss 率高于 LBx(TBx 中为 4.3%,而 LBx 中为 1%,TF≥1%)。与 ESR1 野生型相比,接受一线芳香酶抑制剂+CDK4/6 抑制剂(n=573)治疗的 ESR1mut 患者的 rwPFS 和 rwOS 较差;而在接受氟维司群+CDK4/6 抑制剂(n=348)治疗的患者中未观察到差异。
我们的研究表明,在初诊/复发时应进行 TBx 以进行 CGP,然后在二线及以上进行 LBx 以检测获得性 GA。当 ctDNA TF<1%时,应考虑进行反射性 TBx。
