Primary analyses of the phase III BrighTNess trial showed addition carboplatin with/without veliparib to neoadjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved pathological complete response (pCR) rates with manageable acute toxicity in patients triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we report 4.5-year follow-up data from trial.Women untreated stage II-III TNBC were randomized (2 : 1 1) paclitaxel (weekly for 12 doses) plus: (i) (every 3 weeks four cycles) plus (twice daily); (ii) placebo; or...

Abstract Inflammation affects tumor immune surveillance and resistance to therapy. Here, we show that production of IL1β in primary breast cancer tumors is linked with advanced disease originates from tumor-infiltrating CD11c+ myeloid cells. triggered by cell membrane–derived TGFβ. Neutralizing TGFβ or IL1 receptor prevents progression humanized mouse model. Patients metastatic HER2− display a transcriptional signature inflammation the blood leukocytes, which attenuated after blockade. When...

Abstract BACKGROUND: The randomized, controlled BOLERO‐2 (Breast Cancer Trials of Oral Everolimus) trial demonstrated significantly improved progression‐free survival with the use everolimus plus exemestane (EVE + EXE) versus placebo (PBO in patients advanced breast cancer who developed disease progression after treatment nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors. This analysis investigated effects on health‐related quality life (HRQOL). METHODS: Using European Organisation for Research and...

4609 Background: Ipilimumab is a fully human anti-CTLA-4 IgG1 monoclonal antibody that blocks CTLA-4 and augments immune responses. The current study evaluated the safety activity of ipilimumab alone or with single dose docetaxel in hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). Methods: 43 chemotherapy naïve patients (pts) HRPC, were treated; 23 arm A (ipilimumab at 3 mg/kg q 4 weeks × doses) 20 B as Arm one 75 mg/m 2 on day 1).

Abstract Purpose Androgen receptor (AR) expression occurs in up to 86% of human epidermal growth factor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers. In vitro , AR inhibitors enhance antitumor activity trastuzumab, an anti-HER2 antibody, trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ cell lines. This open-label, single-arm, phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety enzalutamide, AR-signaling inhibitor, patients with advanced AR+ cancer previously treated trastuzumab. Methods Eligible had measurable or...

Abstract Background: nab-Paclitaxel (nab-P)–containing regimens have demonstrated efficacy and safety in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In the absence of a standard care for metastatic (m) TNBC, tnAcity evaluated 3 common chemotherapy combination regimens: nab-P + carboplatin (nab-P/C) or gemcitabine (nab-P/G) vs G/C as first-line treatment (Tx) patients (pts) with mTNBC based on ranking algorithm safety. Results phase 2 portion are reported here. Methods: Pts pathologically confirmed...

e14565 Background: Higher intratumoral IL-1b levels correspond with advanced stages of MBC. We hypothesized that anakinra (Ank), an IL-1R antagonist, may decrease tumor inflammation and improve outcomes in MBC patients (pts). Methods: Eleven pts HER2– received nab paclitaxel (n = 3), eribulin 5) or capecitabine 2) along Ank daily following 2 week treatment only. One pt had progressive prior to chemotherapy for 14 days. Blood was collected treatment, then at weeks, monthly 6 months (mos). 11...

1068 Background: TNBC are mostly “basal-like” tumors, that have been shown to overexpress Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine (SPARC). Endothelial transcytosis of nab-P via albumin- gp60 -cav1 binding albumin SPARC results high intratumoral levels nab-P. Exploiting this the dysfunctional DNA repair basal we hypothesized + C would produce rates pCR TNBC, further enhanced by antiangiogenesis properties B.
