HER2阳性乳腺癌的侵袭性强、脑转移率高,三分之二的HER2阳性乳腺癌脑转移由于PI3K/mTOR通路激活而对HER2靶向疗法耐药。依维莫司属于mTOR抑制剂,而且可以穿过血脑屏障。 2018年6月25日,施普林格·自然旗下《乳腺癌研究与治疗》在线发表美国北卡罗来纳大学(UNC)莱恩伯格综合癌症中心(LCCC)、德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心奥兰多医院、阿拉巴马大学、芝加哥大学、弗吉尼亚大学、范德比大学、田纳西大学的II期研究(LCCC 1025)报告,初步评价了依维莫司+曲妥珠单抗+长春瑞滨治疗HER2阳性乳腺癌脑转移患者的有效性和安全性。 该非盲单组II期研究(LCCC 1025)于2011~2016年入组32例进行性HER2阳性乳腺癌脑转移患者接受依维莫司+曲妥珠单抗+长春瑞滨治疗。主要终点为颅内缓解率;次要目标为中枢神经系统临床获益率、颅外缓解率、进展时间、总生存、入组患者肿瘤靶向测序。根据历史对照,预设两阶段颅内缓解率5%比20%。 最后,32例患者可评估毒性反应,26例可评估疗效。 颅内缓解率4%(部分缓解1例)。3、6个月时中枢神经系统临床获益率65%、27%;颅内进展时间中位3.9个月(95%置信区间:2.2~5)。总生存中位12.2个月(95%置信区间:0.6~20.2)。 3~4级毒性反应包括中性粒细胞减少(41%)贫血(16%)口腔炎(16%)。 TP53和PIK3CA突变常见于乳腺癌脑转移。PI3K/mTOR通路突变与疗效无关。乳腺癌脑转移与乳腺癌原发灶相比,ERBB2扩增率较高;乳腺癌原发灶ERBB2扩增患者的总生存较差。 因此,虽然依维莫司+曲妥珠单抗+长春瑞滨治疗HER2阳性乳腺癌脑转移患者的颅内缓解率低,但是中枢神经系统临床获益率将近三分之一;进展时间、总生存、毒性反应与历史对照相似。有必要进一步分析乳腺癌脑转移的基因组机制,确定能够预测疗效和/或结局的生物标志。 相关阅读 Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2018 Jun 25. LCCC 1025: a phase II study of everolimus, trastuzumab, and vinorelbine to treat progressive HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastases. Amanda E. D. Van Swearingen, Marni B. Siegel, Allison M.

PURPOSE: HER2+ breast cancer (BC) is an aggressive subtype with high rates of brain metastases (BCBM). Two-thirds of HER2+ BCBM demonstrate activation of the PI3K/mTOR pathway driving resistance to anti-HER2 therapy. This phase II study evaluated everolimus (E), a brain-permeable mTOR inhibitor, trastuzumab (T), and vinorelbine (V) in patients with HER2+ BCBM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eligible patients had progressive HER2+ BCBM. The primary endpoint was intracranial response rate (RR); secondary objectives were CNS clinical benefit rate (CBR), extracranial RR, time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), and targeted sequencing of tumors from enrolled patients. A two-stage design distinguished intracranial RR of 5% versus 20%. RESULTS: 32 patients were evaluable for toxicity, 26 for efficacy. Intracranial RR was 4% (1 PR). CNS CBR at 6 mos was 27%; at 3 mos 65%. Median intracranial TTP was 3.9 mos (95% CI 2.2-5). OS was 12.2 mos (95% CI 0.6-20.2). Grade 3-4 toxicities included neutropenia (41%), anemia (16%), and stomatitis (16%). Mutations in TP53 and PIK3CA were common in BCBM. Mutations in the PI3K/mTOR pathway were not associated with response. ERBB2 amplification was higher in BCBM compared to primary BC; ERBB2 amplification in the primary BC trended toward worse OS. CONCLUSION: While intracranial RR to ETV was low in HER2+ BCBM patients, one-third achieved CNS CBR; TTP/OS was similar to historical control. No new toxicity signals were observed. Further analysis of the genomic underpinnings of BCBM to identify tractable prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers is warranted. CLINICAL TRIAL: NCT01305941.
