When limited to patients treated with paclitaxel plus trastuzumab-based therapy (only trastuzumab or trastuzumab plus lapatinib)...At a median follow-up of 9 years, PIK3CA mutations were significantly associated with worse EFS in the overall cohort (hazard ratio, 2.58 [95% CI, 1.24-5.35]; Pā=ā.01), which persisted in a multivariable model including pCR, HR status, stage, and IMS (hazard ratio, 2.52 [95% CI, 1.16-5.47]; Pā=ā.02)....In this cohort study of CALGB 40601, PIK3CA mutations were significantly associated with lower pCR rates among patients receiving trastuzumab-based therapy. PIK3CA mutations were also associated with worse EFS in univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models, which appeared to be associated with HR-positive and luminal ERBB2/HER2-positive BC.
