Title:

Efficacy and safety of PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors combined with trastuzumab therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer: a meta-analysis

Published date:
10/01/2022
Excerpt:
This randomized controlled trial (RCTs) meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors in combination with trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer….PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors combination with trastuzumab treatments resulted in a statistically significant increase in PFS compared with conventional trastuzumab therapy (HR 0.82; 95% CI: 0.76-0.90; p<0.00001). The new combination treatment was more effective on hormone receptor-negative patients (HR 0.73; 95% CI: 0.58-0.93; p=0.010).

Title:

The Role of Trastuzumab in Patients with HER2 Positive Small (pT1mi/a) Breast Cancers, a Multicenter Retrospective Study

Published date:
11/21/2021
Excerpt:
Disease recurrence rate was significantly lower among patients who received adjuvant Trastuzumab (p = 0.02), with this therapy conferring an 85% reduction in the risk of relapse (HR 0.15; p = 0.02)….Adjuvant Trastuzumab appears to reduce the risk of disease recurrence even in small HER2+ tumors. The adjuvant targeted therapy should be considered in patients with HR− HER2+ tumors since they have the highest risk of recurrence, independently from size and grade.

Title:

Evaluation of a proposed trastuzumab biosimilar compared with trastuzumab in neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment

Published date:
12/04/2020
Excerpt:
Sixteen patients had HER2 positive, hormone receptor (HR) positive tumors and 6 patients a HER2 positive, HR negative tumors….patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab (proposed biosimilar or trastuzumab)...Breast pCR was achieved in 86% (n=6) and 33% (n=5) in trastuzumab and proposed biosimilar groups respectively.

Pathologic and molecular responses to neoadjuvant trastuzumab and/or lapatinib from a phase II randomized trial in HER2-positive breast cancer (TRIO-US B07)

Published date:
11/17/2020
Excerpt:
In this multicenter, open-label, randomized phase II investigator-sponsored neoadjuvant trial with funding provided by Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline (TRIO-US B07, Clinical Trials NCT00769470), participants with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer (N = 128) were recruited...Participants were randomized to receive trastuzumab (T; N = 34), lapatinib (L; N = 36), or both (TL; N = 58) as HER2-targeted therapy...we observed similar pCR rates between T (47%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 30-65%) and TL (52%, 95% CI 38-65%), and a lower pCR rate with L (25%, 95% CI 13-43%)...Higher-level amplification of HER2 and hormone receptor (HR)-negative status were associated with a higher pCR rate.

Excerpt:
HR-negative status and histological grade 3 were independently associated with higher pCR rates, and pCR was the only independent predictor for improved survival.
