    Title:
    Correlation between HER2 amplification level and response to neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in HER2 positive breast cancer.
    Published date:
    05/28/2020
    Excerpt:
    Pathological Complete Response (pCR) (Miller-Payne grading system) was obtained in 58% of the patients whose tumors showed amplification. No pCR was obtained in the 8 patients whose tumors were negative by FISH (not amplified)....We also demonstrated an association between the HER2 amplification level (both ratios and numbers of HER2 signals) and a trend toward improved disease free survival (DFS) (p = 0.451 and p= 0.619, respectively).

    Title:
    Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine for Patients With HER2-Mutant Lung Cancers: Results From a Phase II Basket Trial
    Excerpt:
    We treated 18 patients with advanced HER2-mutant lung adenocarcinomas...The partial response rate was 44% (95% CI, 22% to 69%), meeting the primary end point...Responses were seen in patients with HER2 exon 20 insertions and point mutations in the kinase, transmembrane, and extracellular domains...Concurrent HER2 amplification was observed in two patients...HER2 immunohistochemistry ranged from 0 to 2+ and did not predict response, and responders had low HER2 protein expression measured by mass spectrometry...The median progression-free survival was 5 months (95% CI, 3 to 9 months).
