DA 3111 (trastuzumab biosimilar)

Among trastuzumab-naïve patients, 34/106 (32.1%) with EBC achieved pathological complete response; 30/74 (40.5%) MBC and 24/49 (49.0%) MGC patients achieved complete or partial response. In a real-world setting, CT-P6 demonstrated safety and efficacy findings consistent with previous CT-P6 studies.

Reciprocally, YAP1 could occupy the BCAR4 promoter to enhance its transcription, suggesting that there exists a positive feedback regulation between YAP1 and BCAR4. Targeting the BCAR4/miR-665/YAP1 axis may provide a novel insight of therapeutic approaches for TR in BC.

There was a negative correlation between TIDE and DLAT expression (r = - 0.292, p < 0.001), which means high DLAT expression is an indicator of sensitivity to immunotherapy. In conclusion, our study constructed a four CRGs signature prognostic prediction model and identified DLAT as an independent prognostic factor and associated with resistant to HER2-targeted therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer patients.

The most prevalent chemotherapies paired with PyroH were capecitabine (36.3%)...Longer previous trastuzumab (⩾6.37 months) or lapatinib (⩾10.05 months) therapies could indicate improved PFS, while prior pyrotinib exposure negatively influenced PFS...PyroHC shows promising efficacy and a satisfactory safety profile for treating HER2+ MBC, both as a first-line option and for heavily treated patients, including those with brain metastasis. Our findings suggest the duration and history of anti-HER2 therapy as potential predictors for PyroHC efficacy in advanced settings.

Compound 32e potently inhibited CDK12/cyclinK with IC = 3 nM, and suppressed the growth of the both trastuzumab-sensitive and trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines (GI's = 9-21 nM), which is superior to a potent, clinical pan-CDK inhibitor dinaciclib. Compound 32e could be developed as a drug for intractable trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancers. Our current study would provide a useful insight in designing potent cyclinK degraders.

Pyrotinib plus capecitabine can be considered to be a treatment option in HER2-positive advanced breast cancer patients who have shown primary resistance to trastuzumab. Even in the era of modern anti-HER2 treatments, this clinical setting warrants more investigations to meet unmet needs.

In conclusion, TP53 and PIK3CA mutations, as well as a higher ctDNA fraction, were associated with worse PFS with trastuzumab and cytotoxic chemotherapy. The enrichment of HRD-related gene mutations and newly detected variants in ctDNA may be related to resistance to treatment.

The primary endpoint of the study was met. Neoadjuvant pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and docetaxel significantly improved the tpCR rate compared with placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel, with manageable toxicity, providing a new option for HER2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer.

We investigated the efficacy and safety of a trastuzumab biosimilar, Herzuma®, in combination with treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who had failed at least two HER2 directed chemotherapies.

Further survival analysis of hub genes showed that DLD overexpression was significantly associated with an unfavorable prognosis in HER2+ breast cancer patients. Ten novel trastuzumab resistance-related genes were discovered, of which DLD could be used for trastuzumab response prediction and prognostic prediction in HER2+ breast cancer.

The median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached in the TMB-high group but was 8.0 months (95% CI, 7.6-8.5) in the TMB-low group (P=0.019). The status of TMB could be a novel biomarker in predicting the efficacy of trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in HER2-positive AGCs.

PIK3CA mutations acted as a protective factor in treatment-naïve patients; however, advanced/locally advanced patients harbouring mutated-PI3Kα exhibited a higher progressive disease rate (100% vs. 15%, p = .000053) and a lower objective response rate (81.7% vs. 95.4%, p = .0008) in response to trastuzumab-based therapy...PIK3CA functional mutations suppressed the growth of HER2+ cells, but conferred anti-HER2 resistance, which can be reversed by the PI3Kα-specific inhibitor BYL719. We proposed adaptive treatment strategies that the mutated PIK3CA and amplified ERBB2 should be concomitantly inhibited when exposing to continuous anti-HER2 therapy, while the combination of anti-HER2 and anti-PI3Kα treatment was not essential for anti-HER2 treatment-naïve patients. These findings improve the understanding of genomics-guided treatment in the different progressions of HER2+ breast cancer.

In conclusion, adding trastuzumab to chemotherapy increased the axillary pCR rate in patients with clinically node-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer; furthermore, dual HER2-blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab did not elevate the axillary response compared with trastuzumab alone. Breast pCR could be a strong predictor for axillary pCR in clinically node-positive patients treated with HER2-targeting therapy.

Taken together, our findings indicate that crosstalk between cytoplasmic ERα and the HER2/EGFR signaling pathway be considered a novel therapeutic target for quiescent cell populations within HER2-positive breast cancer and that simultaneous inhibition of ER and the EGFR/HER2 pathway may prevent trastuzumab resistance. We hope that these results provide a basis for the use of combinations of tamoxifen and trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer patients.

Using immunohistochemistry and dual-color silver-enhanced in situ hybridization based on the Trastuzumab for a gastric cancer scoring scheme, we evaluated HER2 protein expression, gene amplification, and genetic heterogeneity in three groups (HER2-neg, HER2-low, HER2-pos) of 55 patients. These findings support the hypothesis that low-level HER2 expression and heterogeneity have significant clinical implications in PDAC. HER2 heterogeneity might indicate the best strategies of combination therapies to prevent the development of subdominant clones with resistance potential.
