Abstract:
Background: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a relatively rare form of breast cancer. Because this disease exhibits angiogenic properties, bevacizumab (BEV) may improves the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) in IBC. Methods: Pts with HER2−negative IBC (IHC 0 or 1+ or FISH/CISH-, T4d, any N) were included to receive 4 cycles of FEC100 + BEV 15 mg/kg, d1 q3w, followed by 4 cycles of Docetaxel 100 mg/m2 + BEV 15 mg/kg q3w. Complete surgery was performed 4–6 weeks after the last dose of CT, followed by radiotherapy and endocrine therapy for hormone receptor positive (HR+) pts. BEV was re-introduced as adjuvant therapy for 10 cycles, giving a total of 18 cycles of BEV. The primary endpoint of the PACS09/Beverly1 trial was to evaluate the pathologic complete response (pCR; Sataloff classification) rate in HER2−negative non-metastatic IBC patients(pts). Results: Between Jan 2009 and Sep 2010, 101 pts were included (100 pts were evaluable). Main baseline characteristics were: median age 49 years; postmenopausal status, 39 pts; SBR 2, 32 pts SBR3 61 pts, both HR-negative, 55 pts. 85 pts completed neoadjuvant therapy according to the protocol, ***.90 pts underwent complete mastectomy, 4 had a breast-conservative surgery. After neoadjuvant treatment, investigator-assessed pCR rate was 27% (18%-36%, CI 95%). Interestingly, a significantly greater proportion of pCR rate was observed in the HR-negative group compared to HR-positive group (38% vs 13% respectively; p=0.007). Results from central review of pCR are currently in progress. Main Grade 3,4 toxicities were: neutropenia (61 pts),febrile neutropenia (36 pts),mucitis (23 pts) Neither gr3/4 HTA nor cardiac failure or proteinuria was reported. There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: These data suggest that the use of BEV with neoadjuvant CT is active in HER2−negative IBC (pCR rate 27%), with an acceptable safety profile. Interestingly, the HR-negative subgroup is significantly more responsive than the HR-positive subgroup. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2011;71(24 Suppl):Abstract nr P4-20-01.
