Tucidinostat plus exemestane for postmenopausal patients with advanced, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer: a long-term safety and overall survival update from the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial. (PubMed, Transl Breast Cancer Res)
Although tucidinostat in combination with exemestane had produced a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint PFS, the ACE study did not show a prolongation of the secondary endpoint OS in the tucidinostat combination regimen. Ongoing studies have been considered in terms of potential identification of what patient subpopulations could benefit most from the tucidinostat combination regimens in advanced HR+ breast cancer.

Everolimus plus endocrine therapy beyond CDK4/6 inhibitors progression for HR+ /HER2- advanced breast cancer: a real-world evidence cohort. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
This retrospective analysis cohort of everolimus plus ET in mBC patients previously treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor suggests a longer estimated mPFS when compared with the mPFS with ET monotherapy obtained from current randomized clinical data. Everolimus plus ET may be considered as a valid control arm in novel clinical trial designs.

Superior suppression of serum estrogens during neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment with letrozole compared to exemestane. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res Treat)
To the best of our knowledge, we present here for the first time a comprehensive and direct head-to-head, intra-patient-cross-over comparison of the aromatase inhibitor letrozole and the aromatase inactivator exemestane concerning their ability to suppress serum estrogen levels in vivo. All in all, our results clearly demonstrate that letrozole therapy results in a more profound suppression of serum E1 and E2 levels compared to exemestane.

Aromatase Inhibitors and Plasma Lipid Changes in Postmenopausal Women with Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Studies using anastrozole (ANA), exemestane (EXE), letrozole (LET), and tamoxifen (TMX) were involved. Our results suggest that, despite statistically significant results, EXE and LET may not be sufficient to cause severe dyslipidemia in patients without cardiovascular comorbidities according to the AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol. However, the results may raise the question of monitoring the effects of AIs in patients, especially those with pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia.

Exemestane plus everolimus and palbociclib in metastatic breast cancer: clinical response and genomic/transcriptomic determinants of resistance in a phase I/II trial. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Multi-omics data from the phase IIa patients (n = 24 tumor/17 blood biopsy exomes; n = 27 tumor transcriptomes) showed potential mechanisms of resistance (convergent evolution of HER2 activation, BRAFV600E), identified joint genomic/transcriptomic resistance features (ESR1 mutations, high estrogen receptor pathway activity, and a Luminal A/B subtype; ERBB2/BRAF mutations, high RTK/MAPK pathway activity, and a HER2-E subtype), and provided hypothesis-generating results suggesting that mTOR pathway activation correlates with response to the trial's therapy. Our results illustrate how genome and transcriptome sequencing may help better identify patients likely to respond to CDK4/6i therapies.

Tucidinostat Plus Exemestane as a Neoadjuvant in Early-Stage, Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Oncologist)
Despite the rate of PEPI score 0 was not high, tucidinostat plus exemestane as a neoadjuvant therapy might be well tolerated and showed promising clinical responses in patients with early hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. To clarify the safety and efficacy of this strategy, further investigation is warranted.
