RESUMEN
Palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy is approved for treating patients with hormone-receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer; however, data on palbociclib combined with tamoxifen are limited. We investigated the efficacy and safety of palbociclib-tamoxifen in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. This double-blind phase 3 study included 184 women who were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive palbociclib-tamoxifen or placebo-tamoxifen. Pre/perimenopausal women also received goserelin. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and safety. Median PFS was 24.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.1-32.4) with palbociclib-tamoxifen and 11.1 months (95% CI, 7.4-14.6) with placebo-tamoxifen (hazard ratio [HR], 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.85; P = 0.002). Palbociclib-tamoxifen improved PFS in patients who were treated with first-line or second-line endocrine therapy and pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal patients. Though OS data are still immature (median not reached in both groups), an overall risk reduction of 27% (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.44-1.21) with palbociclib-tamoxifen was observed at the time of PFS analysis. The most common grade 3/4 adverse event with palbociclib-tamoxifen was neutropenia (89.0% [none were febrile] versus 1.1% with placebo-tamoxifen). There were no deaths owing to adverse events in either group. Among patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, palbociclib-tamoxifen resulted in significantly longer PFS than tamoxifen alone. Early OS data showed a trend favoring palbociclib-tamoxifen. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03423199. Study registration date: February 06, 2018.
RESUMEN
The TP53 signature is considered a predictor of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response and prognostic factor in breast cancer. The objective of this study was to confirm TP53 signature can predict pathological complete response (pCR) and prognosis in cohorts of breast cancer patients who received NAC in prospective studies. Development cohorts (retrospective [n = 37] and prospective [n = 216] cohorts) and validation cohorts (NAC administered prospective study cohorts [n = 407] and retrospective perioperative chemotherapy (PC)-naïve, hormone receptor (HrR)-positive cohort [PC-naïve_HrR+ cohort] [n = 322]) were used. TP53 signature diagnosis kit was developed using the development cohorts. TP53 signature predictability for pCR and the relationship between recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and the TP53 signature were analyzed. The pCR rate of the mutant (mt) signature group was significantly higher than that of the wild-type (wt) signature group (odds ratio, 5.599; 95 % confidence interval = 1.876-16.705; P = 0.0008). The comparison of the RFS and OS between the HrR+ and HER2- subgroup of the NAC cohort and of the PC-naïve_HrR+ cohort indicated that the RFS and OS benefit of NAC was greater in the mt signature group than in the wt signature group. From post hoc analyses, the RFS and OS benefit from adding capecitabine to FEC+T as NAC might be observed only in the mt signature group. The TP53 signature can predict the pCR after NAC, and the RFS and OS benefit from NAC may be greater in the mt signature group than in the wt signature group.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Anticipatory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a conditioned response influenced by the severity and duration of previous emetic responses to chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of non-pharmacologic interventions for anticipatory CINV among patients with cancer. METHODS: We conducted a systematic search in databases, including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Ichushi-Web, from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2020. Randomized controlled trials, non-randomized designs, observational studies, or case-control studies that utilized non-pharmacological therapies were included. The primary outcomes were anticipatory CINV, with an additional investigation into adverse events and the costs of therapies. The risk-of-bias for each study was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, and meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.4 software. RESULTS: Of the 107 studies identified, six met the inclusion criteria. Three types of non-pharmacological treatments were identified: systematic desensitization (n = 2), hypnotherapy (n = 2), and yoga therapy (n = 2). Among them, systematic desensitization significantly improved anticipatory CINV as compared to that in the control group (nausea: risk ratio [RR] = 0.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.49-0.72, p < 0.00001; vomiting: RR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.32-0.91, p = 0.02). However, heterogeneity in outcome measures precluded meta-analysis for hypnotherapy and yoga. Additionally, most selected studies had a high or unclear risk of bias, and adverse events were not consistently reported. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that systematic desensitization may effectively reduce anticipatory CINV. However, further research is warranted before implementation in clinical settings.

BACKGROUND: The Japan Society of Clinical Oncology Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antiemesis 2023 was extensively revised to reflect the latest advances in antineoplastic agents, antiemetics, and antineoplastic regimens. This update provides new evidence on the efficacy of antiemetic regimens. METHODS: Guided by the Minds Clinical Practice Guideline Development Manual of 2017, a rigorous approach was used to update the guidelines; a thorough literature search was conducted from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2020. RESULTS: Comprehensive process resulted in the creation of 13 background questions (BQs), 12 clinical questions (CQs), and three future research questions (FQs). Moreover, the emetic risk classification was also updated. CONCLUSIONS: The primary goal of the present guidelines is to provide comprehensive information and facilitate informed decision-making, regarding antiemetic therapy, for both patients and healthcare providers.

PURPOSE: The randomized phase 2 Neo-peaks study examined usefulness of neoadjuvant trastuzumab emtansine + pertuzumab (T-DM1 + P) following docetaxel + carboplatin + trastuzumab + pertuzumab (TCbHP) as compared with the standard TCbHP regimen. We previously reported that pCR rate after neoadjuvant therapy tended to be higher with TCbHP followed by T-DM1 + P. We conducted an exploratory analysis of prognosis 5 years after surgery. METHODS: Neoadjuvant treatment with TCbHP (6 cycles; group A), TCbHP (4 cycles) followed by T-DM1 + P (4 cycles; group B), and T-DM1 + P (4 cycles; group C, + 2 cycles in responders) were compared. Group C non-responders after 4 cycles were switched to an anthracycline-based regimen. We evaluated 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), distant DFS (DDFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Data from 203 patients (50, 52, and 101 in groups A-C, respectively) were analyzed. No significant intergroup differences were found for DFS, DDFS, or OS. The 5-year DFS rates (95% CI) were 91.8% (79.6-96.8%), 92.3% (80.8-97.0%), and 88.0% (79.9-93.0%) in groups A-C, respectively. TCbHP followed by T-DM1 + P and T-DM1 + P with response-guided addition of anthracycline therapy resulted in similar long-term prognosis to that of TCbHP. CONCLUSIONS: In patients who achieved pCR after neoadjuvant therapy with T-DM1 + P, omission of adjuvant anthracycline may be considered, whereas treatment should be adjusted for non-pCR patients with residual disease. T-DM1 + P with response-guided treatment adjustment may be useful for minimizing toxicity. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER AND DATE OF REGISTRATION: UMIN-CTR, UMIN000014649, prospectively registered July 25, 2014. Some of the study results were presented as a Mini Oral session at the ESMO Breast Cancer 2023 (Berlin, Germany, 11-13 May 2023).

The clinical significance of mild internal mammary node (IMN) enlargement (Mild-IMN) is uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between treatment outcomes and IMN status in patients with breast cancer who underwent postmastectomy radiation therapy between January 2010 and December 2018. Overall, 250 patients were categorized based on IMN status: Clinically normal IMN (Normal-IMN; n=172), Mild-IMN (n=39) and clinically metastatic IMN (cMet-IMN; n=39). None of the patients in the Normal- or Mild-IMN groups received IMN irradiation. In the cMet-IMN group, 25 patients underwent IMN irradiation with an IMN boost (10 Gy in 5 fractions), while 14 patients did not. The median follow-up time was 80.0 months (range, 7.2-147.6 months). The 7-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and IMN recurrence-free survival (IRF) rates were 80.2, 73.0 and 93.4%, respectively. Multivariate analyses indicated that only cMet-IMN had a significant impact on OS [hazard ratio (HR), 1.66; 95% CI, 1.01-3.68; P=0.05] and DFS (HR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.08-3.39; P=0.03), while cMet-IMN did not have a significant impact on IRF (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 0.41-6.78; P=0.48). Additionally, receiving an IMN boost had no influence on OS (HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.37-2.34; P=0.84), DFS (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.51-3.22; P=0.60) or IRF (HR, 1.94; 95% CI, 0.22-17.47; P=0.55). In conclusion, the impact of Mild-IMN on clinical outcomes was small. Although irradiation for cMet-IMN is important, the impact of the cMet-IMN boost with 10 Gy in 5 fractions on clinical outcomes may also be limited.
