Abstract:
Background: Olaparib (O) is approved for the treatment of HER2[-] patients (pts) with early or metastatic breast cancer and a germline BRCA mutation. Nevertheless, there is no evidence that HER2[+] tumors are resistant to PARPi. Preclinical data support that HER2[+] cells are sensitive to PARPi and strongly suggest that PARP inhibition augments the efficacy of trastuzumab (T). To test whether PARPi is synergistic with anti-HER2 therapy, the OPHELIA study has assessed the efficacy and safety of O in combination with T in pts with HER2[+] germinal BRCA-mutated advanced breast cancer (ABC). Methods: OPHELIA (NCT03931551) is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial. The study enrolled pts aged ≥18 years diagnosed of HER2[+] ABC with germinal deleterious mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 who had received at least one prior systemic regimen for advanced disease (including a pertuzumab- or trastuzumab emtansine based regimen). Pts received O (300 mg oral, twice daily) plus T (either loading dose of 8 mg/kg IV infusion, and subsequent 3-weekly doses of 6 mg/kg IV infusion; or 600 mg SC injection, on day 1 of every 21-day cycle) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed clinical benefit rate (CBR) for at least 24 weeks as per RECIST v.1.1. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS); and safety and tolerability as per NCI-CTCAE v.5.0. The primary analysis evaluated CBR (H0: ≤5%; H1: ≥30%) based on exact binomial test. Sample size was designed to attain a 90% power at 10% one-sided alpha level. Results: From Mar 25, 2019, through Mar 2, 2022, 5 pts (from a total of 42 pts evaluated) were enrolled at 17 sites in Spain. Median age was 37.0 (range 32–54) years, 1 (20.0%) patient was male, 4 (80.0%) pts carried germinal BRCA2 mutations, 4 (80.0%) pts had received ≥ 3 advanced disease treatments lines, and 4 (80.0%) pts presented ≥ 2 metastatic sites. At data cutoff (Mar 2, 2022), with a median follow-up of 18.7 months (min: 11.7; max: 22.1), 40.0% of pts remained on therapy. CBR at 24 weeks was 80.0% meeting the primary endpoint (4 of 5 pts; 95% CI, 28.4% to 99.5%, p & lt; 0.001). ORR (1 complete and 2 partial responses) was 60.0% (95% CI, 17.4% to 94.7%), and median DoR was 3.8 months (95% CI, 2.5 to 8.3 months). Two (40.0%) pts had PFS events due to disease progression at 5.2 and 1.2 months, respectively. Rest of pts were treated for 5.5, 11.2, and 19.0 months. There were 2 (40.0%) deaths at 14.0 and 18.5 months. The most common non-hematological treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade (G) were fatigue (60.0%; 0% G≥3), nausea (60.0%; 0% G≥3), vomiting (40.0%; 0% G≥3), and back pain (40.0%; 0% G≥3). Anemia (40.0%; 20.0% G≥3) and lymphopenia (40.0%; 20.0% G≥3) were the most frequent hematological TEAEs. One (20.0%) patient discontinued treatment because of a drug-related TEAE (leukopenia). A dose reduction of O was reported in 1 (20.0%) patient. No treatment-related deaths were reported. Conclusions: HER2 overexpression in germline BRCA-mutated ABC is infrequent. The activity observed in these 5 pts indicates that O+T combination might be of help in this group of pts. We strongly believe that randomized data are not needed, and RWE studies might help us to understand the real activity of this combination. Toxicity was as expected. Citation Format: José E.
