RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The TROIKA trial established that HD201 and trastuzumab were equivalent in terms of primary endpoints (total pathological complete response) following neoadjuvant treatment. The objective of the present analysis was to compare survival outcomes and final safety. METHODS: In the TROIKA trial, patients with ERBB2-positive early breast cancer were randomized and treated with either HD201 or the referent trastuzumab. Eligible patients received 8 cycles of either HD201 or referent trastuzumab (loading dose, 8 mg/kg; maintenance dose, 6 mg/kg) every 3 weeks in combination with 8 cycles of chemotherapy (4 cycles of docetaxel, 75 mg/m2, followed by 4 cycles of epirubicin, 75 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide, 500 mg/m2) in the neoadjuvant setting. The patients then underwent surgery followed by 10 cycles of adjuvant HD201 or referent trastuzumab according to their initial randomization to complete one year of trastuzumab-directed therapy. Event-free and overall survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The hazard ratio for event-free survival was estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS: The final analysis was performed after all patients completed the study at a median follow-up of 37.7 months (Q1-Q3, 37.3-38.1 months). A total of 502 randomized patients received either HD201 or the referent trastuzumab, and 474 (94.2%) were eligible for inclusion in the per-protocol set. In this population, the 3-year event-free survival rates were 85.6% (95% CI: 80.28-89.52) and 84.9% (95% CI: 79.54-88.88) in the HD201 and referent trastuzumab groups, respectively (log rank p = 0.938) (HR 1.02, 95% CI: 0.63-1.63; p = 0.945). The 3-year overall survival rates were comparable between the HD201 (95.6%; 95% CI: 91.90-97.59) and referent trastuzumab treatment groups (96.0%, 95% CI: 92.45-97.90) (log rank p = 0.606). During the posttreatment follow-up period, adverse events were reported for 64 (27.4%) and 72 (29.8%) patients in the HD201 and the reference trastuzumab groups, respectively. Serious adverse events were rare and none of which were related to the study treatment. CONCLUSIONS: This final analysis of the TROIKA trial further confirms the comparable efficacy and safety of HD201 and trastuzumab. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03013504.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the results of the Malaysian Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (MyAPCCC) 2018, held for assessing the generalizability of consensus reached at the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC 2017) to Malaysia, a middle-income country. METHODS: Six key sections were chosen: (1) high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer, (2) oligometastatic prostate cancer, (3) castration-naïve prostate cancer, (4) castrate resistant prostate cancer, (5) use of osteoclast-targeted therapy and (6) global access to prostate cancer drugs. There were 101 consensus questions, consisting of 91 questions from APCCC 2017 and 10 new questions from MyAPCCC 2018, selected and modified by the steering committee; of which, 23 questions were assessed in both ideal world and real-world settings. A panel of 22 experts, comprising of 11 urologists and 11 oncologists, voted on 101 predefined questions anonymously. Final voting results were compared with the APCCC 2017 outcomes. RESULTS: Most voting results from the MyAPCCC 2018 were consistent with the APCCC 2017 outcomes. No consensus was achieved for controversial topics with little level I evidence, such as management of oligometastatic disease. No consensus was reached on using high-cost drugs in castration-naïve or castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer in real-world settings. All panellists recommended using generic drugs when available. CONCLUSIONS: The MyAPCCC 2018 voting results reflect the management of advanced prostate cancer in a middle-income country in a real-world setting. These results may serve as a guide for local clinical practices and highlight the financial challenges in modern healthcare.

There is an urgent need for first-line treatment options for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (mG/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) is expressed in normal gastric cells and maintained in malignant G/GEJ adenocarcinoma cells. GLOW (closed enrollment), a global, double-blind, phase 3 study, examined zolbetuximab, a monoclonal antibody that targets CLDN18.2, plus capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) as first-line treatment for CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced unresectable or mG/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Patients (n = 507) were randomized 1:1 (block sizes of two) to zolbetuximab plus CAPOX or placebo plus CAPOX. GLOW met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (median, 8.21 months versus 6.80 months with zolbetuximab versus placebo; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.687; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.544-0.866; P = 0.0007) and key secondary endpoint of overall survival (median, 14.39 months versus 12.16 months; HR = 0.771; 95% CI, 0.615-0.965; P = 0.0118). Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events were similar with zolbetuximab (72.8%) and placebo (69.9%). Zolbetuximab plus CAPOX represents a potential new first-line therapy for patients with CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced unresectable or mG/GEJ adenocarcinoma.

Importance: The drug HD201 is a biosimilar candidate for breast cancer treatment as the reference trastuzumab. Objective: To compare the efficacy of HD201 with referent trastuzumab. Design, Setting, and Participants: This randomized clinical trial (TROIKA) included 502 women with ERBB2-positive early breast cancer treated with either HD201 or referent trastuzumab. It was conducted across 70 centers in 12 countries, including Western and Eastern Europe and Asian countries. Randomization was stratified by tumor hormone receptor status, clinical stage, and geographic region of recruitment. This analysis was conducted on February 12, 2021, after the completion of the adjuvant phase at a median of 31 months (IQR, 28-33 months) of follow-up. Interventions: Patients with ERBB2-positive early breast cancer were randomly assigned to receive HD201 or referent trastuzumab in the neoadjuvant setting for 8 cycles, concurrently with 4 cycles of docetaxel, which was followed by 4 cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. Patients then underwent surgery, which was followed by treatment with 10 cycles of adjuvant HD201 or referent trastuzumab. Main Outcome and Measures: The primary end point was the total pathological complete response (tpCR) assessed after neoadjuvant treatment. Equivalence was concluded if the 95% CI of the absolute difference in tpCR between arms in the per-protocol set was within the margin of more or less than 15%. Other objectives included the breast pathological complete response, overall response, event-free and overall survival, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. Results: A total of 502 female patients (mean [range] age, 53 [26-82] years) were randomized to receive either HD201 or referent trastuzumab, and 474 (94.2%) were eligible for inclusion in the per-protocol set. The baseline characteristics were well balanced between the 2 arms; 195 tumors (38.8%) were hormone receptor-negative , and 213 patients (42.4%) had clinical stage III disease. The tpCR rates were 45% and 48.7% for HD201 and referent trastuzumab, respectively. The difference between the 2 groups was not significant at -3.8% (95% CI, -12.8% to 5.4%) and fell within the predefined equivalence margins. The ratio of the tpCR rates between the 2 arms was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.76 to 1.12). A total of 433 patients (86.1%) presented with 2232 treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest for trastuzumab during the entire treatment period, with 220 (88.0%) and 213 (84.5%) patients in the HD201 and referent trastuzumab groups, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance: The results of this randomized clinical trial found that HD201 demonstrated equivalence to referent trastuzumab in terms of efficacy for the end point of tpCR, with a similar safety profile.
