RESUMO
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.

BACKGROUND: In microvascular breast reconstruction, the internal mammary vein (IMV) has emerged as the most common recipient vein. The open-Y technique can increase the vessel diameter via the bifurcation site. This study aimed to investigate the open-Y technique for IMV. METHODS: The characteristics and details of the operative procedure in patients who had undergone unilateral breast reconstruction with and without the open-Y approach for the free abdominal flap were compared. Differences in IMV anastomosis site (the bifurcation of the main duct or that of the perforator branch) were also compared in patients with the open-Y technique. The open-Y technique was performed on the IMV side. RESULTS: The open-Y and conventional groups included 127 and 62 patients, respectively. The main duct diameter of IMV was significantly smaller (median 2.5 vs. 3.0 mm, P < 0.001), and the rate of right-sided anastomosis (47.2 vs. 82.3%, P < 0.001) was significantly lower in the open-Y group. When comparing the main duct and perforator groups, the branch diameter (1.8 vs. 1.0 mm, P < 0.001) and the diameter after the open-Y technique (5.0 vs. 3.9 mm, P < 0.001) were significantly higher, and the angle of bifurcation (45° vs. 60°, P = 0.007) was significantly lower in the main duct group. CONCLUSIONS: Given a small venous diameter, the open-Y technique is superior, especially for left-sided breast reconstruction. Owing to the lower angle of bifurcation and large diameter, the open-Y technique at the main duct bifurcation of IMV causes less turbulence in the blood flow. TAKE HOME MESSAGE: The open-Y technique is especially effective for left-sided breast reconstruction. Considering the lower angle of bifurcation and large diameter, the open-Y technique at the main duct bifurcation of the internal mammary vein causes less turbulence in the blood flow.

PURPOSE: To understand the mutational landscape of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor tissue of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treated with abemaciclib + endocrine therapy (ET). METHODS: Blood samples for ctDNA and/or tissue samples were collected from abemaciclib-treated patients with HR+/HER2- MBC enrolled in the SCRUM-Japan MONSTAR-SCREEN project. Blood samples were collected before abemaciclib initiation (baseline) and at disease progression/abemaciclib discontinuation (post abemaciclib treatment). Clinical and genomic characteristics including neoplastic burden (measured by shedding rate and maximum variant allele frequency [VAF]) were assessed at baseline. Genomic alterations in ctDNA were compared in paired baseline and post abemaciclib treatment samples. RESULTS: All patients (N = 97) were female (median age, 57 years [IQR, 50-67]). In baseline ctDNA (n = 77), PIK3CA (37%), TP53 (28%), ESR1 (16%), and GATA3 (11%) were the most frequently mutated genes. Baseline tissue samples (n = 79) showed similar alteration frequencies. Among patients with baseline ctDNA data, 30% had received previous ET. ESR1 alteration frequency (35% v 8%; P < .01), median shedding rate (3 v 2), and maximum somatic VAF (4 v 0.8; both P < .05) were significantly higher in ctDNA from patients with previous ET than those without previous ET. In paired ctDNA samples (n = 33), PIK3CA and ESR1 alteration frequencies were higher after abemaciclib treatment than at baseline, though not statistically significant. Among the post-treatment alterations, those newly acquired were detected most frequently in FGF3/4/19 (18%); PIK3CA, TP53, CCND1, and RB1 (all 15%); and ESR1 (12%). CONCLUSION: We summarized the ctDNA and cancer tissue mutational landscape, including overall neoplastic burden and PIK3CA and ESR1 hotspot mutations in abemaciclib-treated patients with HR+/HER2- MBC. The data provide insights that could help optimize treatment strategies in this population.
