During cancer progression, malignant cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) and mesenchymal-epithelial (MET) as part of a broad invasion metastasis program. We previously observed MET events among lung metastases in preclinical model prostate adenocarcinoma that suggested relationship between epithelial plasticity metastatic spread. thus sought to translate these findings into clinical evidence by examining the existence EMT circulating tumor (CTC) from patients with...

BACKGROUND Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) allows for simultaneous of multiple cancer susceptibility genes and, an individual, may be more efficient and less expensive than sequential testing. The authors assessed the frequency deleterious germline mutations among individuals with breast who were referred BRCA1 BRCA2 ( BRCA1/2 ) gene testing using a panel 25 associated inherited predisposition. METHODS This was cross‐sectional study NGS in 2158 individuals, including 1781 commercial (cohort...

Background Preclinical evidence suggests that cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors enhance antitumor immunity. We conducted a phase I trial of ribociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) plus spartalizumab (PD-1 in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) or advanced ovarian (AOC). The combination was also evaluated fulvestrant MBC. Methods In Cohort A, administered on Days 1–21 (28-day cycle) starting at 400 mg, mg Day 1. Dose escalation...

Abstract Background Many patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) for breast cancer experience side effects and reduced quality of life (QoL) discontinue ET. We sought to describe these issues develop a prediction model early discontinuation Methods Among with hormone receptor–positive HER2-negative stage I-III the Cancer Toxicities cohort (NCT01993498) who were prescribed ET between 2012 2017, upon stratification by menopausal status, we evaluated patterns including treatment...

TPS607 Background: There are currently limited treatment options for patients with HR+ EBC who have discontinued adjuvant aromatase inhibitors (AIs) due to treatment-related toxicity. Amcenestrant is an optimized oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) potent dual activity which antagonizes and degrades the ER resulting in inhibition of signalling pathway. Preliminary clinical evidence from phase 1/2 AMEERA-1 trial has demonstrated meaningful antitumour a favourable safety profile...

Abstract Background: About 30% of patients (pts) with hormone receptor (HR)-positive early breast cancer (EBC) on adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy discontinue due to toxicity 22% pts discontinuing during the first year (Henry et al. JCO 2012). For these who struggle AIs, there are limited alternatives including switch a different AI which may have similar side effects, tamoxifen, or observation. This paucity effective and tolerable options contribute poor adherence and/or...

Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as those targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, have shown modest activity monotherapy in both HR+ MBC and MOC. Strategies to improve ICI for these diseases are under investigation. In mouse models, CDK4/6 boost anti-tumor immunity part by increasing infiltration activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, suppressing regulatory lymphocyte function, providing rationale combining inhibition ICI. Methods: We conducted an open-label phase 1b dose...

Window-of-opportunity (WOO) studies provide insights into the clinical activity of new drugs in breast cancer.AMEERA-4 (NCT04191382) was a WOO study undertaken to compare pharmacodynamic effects amcenestrant, selective estrogen receptor degrader, with those letrozole postmenopausal women newly diagnosed, operable receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) cancer. Women were randomized (1:1:1) receive amcenestrant 400 mg, 200 or 2.5 mg once daily for 14 days...

Primary systemic therapy (PST) is a common treatment strategy used to optimize surgical outcomes for women with locally advanced breast cancer. Several cooperative group trials have shown equivalent survival between neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy identified pathologic complete response (pCR) as biologic marker survival. Research efforts PST include the development of strategies predict individual guide choice chemotherapy. These emerging approaches are informed by our knowledge...

Lenalidomide is a potent immunomodulatory agent being used increasingly for treatment of hematologic malignancies including multiple myeloma and myelodysplasia. The common toxicities lenalidomide, dose-limiting myelosuppression, are well described. However, the properties lenalidomide may give rise to unexpected autoimmune complications. Herein, we describe case immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) associated with use lenalidomide.

Abstract Primary treatment for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is endocrine therapy. Selective receptor degraders (SERDs), such as fulvestrant, induce effective ER signaling inhibition, although clinical studies with fulvestrant report insufficient blockade of signaling, possibly due to suboptimal pharmaceutical properties. Here we describe the discovery SAR439859 (Amcenestrant), a novel, orally bioavailable SERD potent antagonist and degradation activities against both...

307 Background: Efficient use of exam rooms is crucial to be able accommodate increasing patient volumes. One workflow approach that takes patients into an room only when the provider ready can free up space for other patient-provider pairs (co-rooming), in contrast rooming before knowing provider’s readiness status (sequential-rooming). We conducted a pilot implement co-rooming on breast cancer floor at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) and assess whether time alone reduced. Methods: As...
