    Abstract: The Breast Cancer Index (BCI) HOXB13/IL17BR (H/I) ratio predicts benefit from extended endocrine therapy in hormone receptor–positive (HR+) early-stage breast cancer. Here, we report the final analysis of the Trans-aTTom study examining BCI (H/I)'s predictive performance. Experimental Design: BCI results were available for 2,445 aTTom trial patients. The primary endpoint of recurrence-free interval (RFI) and secondary endpoints of disease-free interval (DFI) and disease-free survival (DFS) were examined using Cox proportional hazards regression and log-rank test. Results: Final analysis of the overall study population (N = 2,445) did not show a significant improvement in RFI with extended tamoxifen [HR, 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.69–1.16; P = 0.401]. Both the overall study population and N0 group were underpowered due to the low event rate in the N0 group. In a pre-planned analysis of the N+ subset (N = 789), BCI (H/I)-High patients derived significant benefit from extended tamoxifen (9.7% absolute benefit: HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.14–0.75; P = 0.016), whereas BCI (H/I)-Low patients did not (−1.2% absolute benefit; HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.76–1.64; P = 0.581). A significant treatment-to-biomarker interaction was demonstrated on the basis of RFI, DFI, and DFS (P = 0.037, 0.040, and 0.025, respectively). BCI (H/I)-High patients remained predictive of benefit from extended tamoxifen in the N+/HER2− subgroup (9.4% absolute benefit: HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.15–0.81; P = 0.047). A three-way interaction evaluating BCI (H/I), treatment, and HER2 status was not statistically significant (P = 0.849). Conclusions: Novel findings demonstrate that BCI (H/I) significantly predicts benefit from extended tamoxifen in HR+ N+ patients with HER2− disease. Moreover, BCI (H/I) demonstrates significant treatment to biomarker interaction across survival outcomes.

    Abstract: Frequent chromosomal aneuploidy has recently been discovered in normal neurons of the developing and mature murine CNS. Toward a more detailed understanding of aneuploidy and its effects on normal CNS cells, we examined the genomes of cells in the postnatal subventricular zone (SVZ), an area that harbors a large number of neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs), which give rise to neurons and glia. Here we show that NPCs, neurons, and glia from the SVZ are frequently aneuploid. Karyotyping revealed that ∼33% of mitotic SVZ cells lost or gained chromosomes in vivo , whereas interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrated aneuploidy in postnatal-born cells in the olfactory bulb (OB) in vivo , along with neurons, glia, and NPCs in vitro . One possible consequence of aneuploidy is altered gene expression through loss of heterozygosity (LOH). This was examined in a model of LOH: loss of transgene expression in mice hemizygous for a ubiquitously expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) transgene on chromosome 15. Concurrent examination of eGFP expression, transgene abundance, and chromosome 15 copy number demonstrated that a preponderance of living SVZ and OB cells not expressing eGFP lost one copy of chromosome 15; the eGFP transgene was lost in these cells as well. Although gene expression profiling revealed changes in expression levels of several genes relative to GFP-expressing controls, cells with LOH at chromosome 15 were morphologically normal and proliferated or underwent apoptosis at rates similar to those of euploid cells in vitro . These findings support the view that NPCs and postnatal-born neurons and glia can be aneuploid in vivo and functional gene expression can be permanently altered in living neural cells by chromosomal aneuploidy.

    Abstract: 509 Background: Individual risk assessment of distant recurrence (DR) is particularly relevant for early-stage HR+ breast cancer patients, as they face a prolonged risk of recurrence even after adjuvant endocrine therapy. Previously, we have shown that the Breast Cancer Index (BCI) and BCIN+ risk groups are significantly prognostic for risk of overall (0-10y) and late (5-10y) distant recurrence in N0 and N1 breast cancer patients, respectively, enrolled in the Tamoxifen and Exemestane Adjuvant Multinational (TEAM) trial. Here, the prognostic performance of BCI and BCIN+ as a continuous risk score for overall and late distant recurrence was evaluated in the TEAM trial. Methods: BCI testing was performed blinded to clinical outcome with BCI/BCIN+ risk scores calculated as previously described. Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for age, tumor size, grade and treatments were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for BCI/ BCIN+ continuous risk scores. The 10y risk of overall and late DR were estimated as a function of risk scores from the Cox models using Breslow estimates. Results: Continuous risk curves for overall and late DR were obtained in patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy and those who remained DR-free at 5 years regardless of chemotherapy, respectively, to reflect the two key time points for breast cancer treatment decision-making. InN0 patients not treated with chemotherapy (N = 1197), BCI was significantly prognostic for overall DR with a HR of 1.39 (95% CI 1.25-1.54; p 〈 0.001), while BCIN+ was significantly prognostic in N1 patients who did not receive chemotherapy (N = 1319) with a HR of 4.29 (95% CI 2.93-6.28; p 〈 0.001). Among patients who remained DR-free at 5 years, in the N0 subset (N = 1285), BCI was significantly prognostic for late DR with a HR of 1.23 (95% CI 1.07-1.42; p 〈 0.001), while BCIN+ remained to be significantly prognostic in the N1 subset (N = 1762) with a HR of 2.78 (95% CI 1.75-4.43; p 〈 0.001). Similar results were observed in the HER2- subset for both overall and late DR. Continuous risk curves for BCI and BCIN+ for overall and late DR showed an increasing risk of DR with higher BCI/BCIN+ scores. Conclusions: Results from this largest BCI study to date further support the use of BCI to provide individualized risk estimates for both overall and late DR in women with HR+ breast cancer to aid in personalized decision-making for adjuvant therapy.

    Abstract: Background: Women with HR+ breast cancer experience a persistent risk of distant recurrence (DR) even after completion of 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy, with more than 50% of DR occurring after 5 years (late DR). The prognostic genomic signatures currently being used in the clinic were not developed or optimized specifically for late DR. We have previously shown that the Breast Cancer Index (BCI) and BCIN+ prognostic models were significantly prognostic for risk of overall (0-10y) and late (5-10y) distant recurrence (DR) in N0 and N1 HR+ patients in the Tamoxifen and Exemestane Adjuvant Multinational (TEAM) trial. Here, the prognostic performance of the BCI and BCIN+ models with alternative cut-points optimized for late DR were evaluated in patients from the TEAM trial, who were free from DR for at least 5 years. Methods: BCI testing was performed blinded to clinical outcome. The pre-specified alternative cut-points 4.4 and 1.8 for BCI and BCIN+ models were determined previously from Trans-aTTom and IDEAL studies, respectively (ESMO 2021). Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to evaluate the prognostic significance of BCI/BCIN+ risk groups based on DR. Univariate and multivariate Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: 1285 HR+ N0 (median age 69.2, 54.2% T1, 92.5% G2-3, 21.3% chemotherapy) and 1762 N1 (median age 68.5, 49.7% T1, 80.8% G2-3, 42.6% chemotherapy) patients who remained free from DR at 5 years post randomization were included in the current analysis. For N0 patients, BCI identified 439 (34%) and 846 (66%) patients as low and high-risk with late 10-year DR rates of 3.8% (95% CI: 1.5-6.0%) and 9.1% (95% CI: 6.8-11.4%), respectively (HR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.4-5.0; p=0.0025). For N1 patients, BCIN+ identified 287 (16%) and 1475 (84%) patients as low and high-risk with late 10-year DR rates of 3.4% (95% CI: 1.2-5.5%) and 12.3% (95% CI: 10.4-14.2%), respectively (HR: 3.5, 95% CI: 1.8-6.9; p & lt; 0.0001). Similar results were observed in the HER2- patients. Notably, BCI/BCIN+ remained a statistically significant prognostic factor in the multivariate analysis after controlling for age, tumor size, grade, treatment. (Table). Conclusions: Compared to the original BCI/BCIN+ models, the optimized BCI and BCIN+ models showed improved prognostic performance for identifying low-risk patients with a very low risk of late DR ( & lt; 4%), for both N0 and N1 patients. These results provide further validation of BCI clinical utility as an aid in the decision-making for extended endocrine therapies for HR+ breast cancer, particularly in patients with N1 disease that may be spared extended endocrine treatment.

    Abstract: 512 Background: For postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer, the optimal duration of extended endocrine therapy (EET), after completing 5 years of initial aromatase inhibitor (AI)–based adjuvant therapy, remains unclear. BCI [HOXB13/IL17BR (H/I)] is a gene expression-based biomarker that has been demonstrated to predict EET benefit in the MA.17 and Trans-aTTom studies in patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen. The current study examined the ability of BCI (H/I) to predict endocrine benefit from 2.5 vs. 5 years of extended letrozole in the IDEAL trial. Methods: All patients with available tumor specimens were eligible for this blinded prospective-retrospective study. The primary endpoint was Recurrence-Free Interval (RFI). Median follow-up was 9.1 years from randomization. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to analyze the differential benefit of EET with statistical significance of the interaction between BCI (H/I) and treatment assessed by likelihood ratio test. Results: 908 HR+ patients (73% pN+, median 59y, 45% pT1, 48% pT2, disease free at 2.5 years) were included, with 88% and 68% receiving prior treatment with an AI or chemotherapy, respectively. BCI by H/I status (High vs. Low) was significantly predictive of response from extended letrozole in the overall (N = 908) and pN+ (N = 664) cohorts. Notably, BCI (H/I) predicted EET benefit in patients that received any primary adjuvant therapy with an AI (N = 794). Treatment to biomarker interaction was significant in the overall (p = 0.045), pN+ (p = 0.029) and any prior AI (p = 0.025) cohorts, adjusted for age, pT stage, grade, nodal status, prior endocrine therapy and prior chemotherapy. Conclusions: Novel findings from this study demonstrate that BCI predicts endocrine benefit from extended letrozole in postmenopausal patients treated with primary adjuvant AI. These results support the growing body of evidence that BCI by H/I status predicts preferential endocrine response in distinct subgroups of patients, and further support its role as an important genomic tool to inform the risk-benefit regarding duration of extended endocrine therapy.

    Abstract: Aneuploid neurons populate the normal adult brain, but the cause and the consequence of chromosome abnormalities in the CNS are poorly defined. In the adult cerebral cortex of three genetic mutants, one of which is a mouse model of the human neurodegenerative disease ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), we observed divergent levels of sex chromosome (XY) aneuploidy. Although both A-T mutated ( Atm )- and transformation related protein 53 ( Trp53 )-dependent mechanisms are thought to clear newly postmitotic neurons with chromosome abnormalities, we found a 38% increase in the prevalence of XY aneuploidy in the adult Atm -/- cerebral cortex and a dramatic 78% decrease in Trp53 -/- mutant mice. A similar 43% decrease in adult XY aneuploidy was observed in DNA repair-deficient Xrcc5 -/- mutants. Additional investigation found an elevated incidence of aneuploid embryonic neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in all three mutants, but elevated apoptosis, a likely fate of embryonic NPCs with severe chromosome abnormalities, was observed only in Xrcc5 -/- mutants. These data lend increasing support to the hypothesis that hereditary mutations such as ATM-deficiency, which render abnormal cells resistant to developmental clearance, can lead to late-manifesting human neurological disorders.

    Abstract: 522 Background: BCI is a validated gene expression-based assay that stratifies patients based on risk of overall (0-10y) and late (post-5y) distant recurrence (DR) and predicts likelihood of benefit from extended endocrine therapy (EET). The Trans-aTTom study established Level1B validation for BCI (H/I) to predict benefit from EET. 1 In this updated Trans-aTTom analysis including HER2 status, BCI (H/I) and prediction of endocrine benefit were further characterized. Methods: Centralized HER2 was determined for all cases according to current ASCO/CAP guidelines. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression were conducted to assess primary and secondary endpoints of Recurrence-Free Interval (RFI) and Disease-Free Interval (DFI), respectively. A three-way interaction using likelihood ratio testing, which included treatment, BCI (H/I) and HER2, was performed to assess the effect of HER2 on BCI (H/I) prediction of EET benefit. Results: Of 789 N+ patients, 90% (N = 711) and 9% (N = 72) were HR+/HER2- and HR+/HER2+, respectively. In the HER2- subset, BCI (H/I)-High (48%) showed significant benefit from 10y vs. 5y of tamoxifen (9.4% RFI: HR = 0.35 [95% CI 0.15-0.81]; P = 0.047) while BCI (H/I)-Low patients did not (-2.1% RFI; HR = 1.15 [95% CI 0.78-1.69] ; P = 0.491). For DFI, BCI (H/I)-High patients also showed significant benefit (10.3% DFI; HR = 0.41 [95% CI 0.18-0.91]; P = 0.047) while BCI (H/I)-Low patients did not (-1.7% DFI; HR = 1.10 [95% CI 0.75-1.62] P = 0.612). As demonstrated in the overall N+ cohort, significant interaction between BCI (H/I) and treatment was shown in the HER2- subset (RFI P = 0.045; DFI P = 0.044). Notably, three-way interaction evaluating BCI (H/I), treatment and HER2 status was not statistically significant (P = 0.85), indicating the ability of BCI (H/I) to predict benefit of EET activity was not significantly affected by HER2 status. Conclusions: In this updated Trans-aTTom analysis with HER2 data, BCI (H/I) showed similar predictive performance for EET response in the HER2- subset when compared to the overall N+ cohort. These data further support the clinical utility of BCI (H/I) as a predictive biomarker for informing EET benefit in HR+/HER2- and HR+/HER2+ disease. Clinical trial information: NCT00003678 .

    Abstract: Background: Several biomarkers such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), androgen receptor (AR) and Ki67 have been implicated in the pathogenesis and/or as prognostic biomarkers of breast cancer, and are utilized to determine treatment. Given the heterogeneity of response to endocrine therapy, however, predictive biomarkers are critical to better individualize patient care. Previous results from the Trans-aTTom study demonstrated that the Breast Cancer Index HOXB13/IL17BR [BCI (H/I)] biomarker significantly predicts extended endocrine benefit from 10 vs 5y of tamoxifen. In this correlative study, the predictive activity of BCI (H/I) was compared with ER, PR, AR and Ki67 protein expression in node positive patients treated in the aTTom trial. Methods: Patients with available tumor tissue and biomarker analyses were included. ER, PR, AR and Ki67 were centrally assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) utilizing tissue microarrays. BCI gene expression analysis by RT-PCR was performed blinded to clinical outcome. Multivariate Cox models adjusting for age, tumor size, tumor grade and HER2 status were used to assess the significance of the interaction between treatment and each biomarker as continuous variables. 17-year risk of recurrence, as a function of each continuous biomarker, was estimated from Cox models in each of the 2 treatment arms. Results: Analysis of 789 HR+, N+ patients showed a weak negative correlation between BCI (H/I) and ER, PR, and AR expression whereas Ki67 and the AR/ER ratio showed no correlation (ER, cor=−0.18; PR, cor=−0.25; AR, cor=−0.14; Ki67, cor=0.04; AR/ER ratio, cor=0.02). The interaction between BCI (H/I) and extended tamoxifen treatment was significant (p=0.014). In addition, analysis of risk of recurrence as a function of continuous BCI (H/I) demonstrated that the magnitude in the reduction in recurrence risk with extended tamoxifen correlated with increasing H/I levels. In contrast, interaction P values were nonsignificant (ER, p=0.829; PR, p=0.659; AR, p=0.783; Ki67, p=0.865; AR/ER ratio, p=0.835) and the magnitude of endocrine benefit did not correlate with expression levels of any of other biomarkers. Conclusion: Results from this post-hoc analysis of the Trans-aTTom study demonstrated that whereas BCI(H/I) is a significant predictive biomarker of endocrine response, analysis of ER, PR, AR, Ki67 and AR/ER expression showed no interaction with treatment, and lacked the ability to predict benefit of extended tamoxifen in HR+ early stage breast cancer. These results add to the growing body of evidence that BCI (H/I) is distinct in its ability to predict benefit from therapy and interrogates distinct tumor biology that is not captured by other traditional biomarkers.

    Abstract: Multiple clinical trials demonstrate consistent but modest benefit of adjuvant extended endocrine therapy (EET) in HR + breast cancer patients. Predictive biomarkers to identify patients that benefit from EET are critical to balance modest reductions in risk against potential side effects of EET. This study compares the performance of the Breast Cancer Index, BCI ( HOXB13 / IL17BR , H/I), with expression of estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and androgen receptors (AR), and Ki67, for prediction of EET benefit. Methods Node-positive (N+) patients from the Trans-aTTom study with available tissue specimen and BCI results ( N  = 789) were included. Expression of ER, PR, AR, and Ki67 was assessed by quantitative immunohistochemistry. BCI (H/I) gene expression analysis was conducted by quantitative RT-PCR. Statistical significance of the treatment by biomarker interaction was evaluated by likelihood ratio tests based on multivariate Cox proportional models, adjusting for age, tumor size, grade, and HER2 status. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate correlations between BCI (H/I) versus ER, PR, AR, Ki67 and AR/ER ratio. Results EET benefit, measured by the difference in risk of recurrence between patients treated with tamoxifen for 10 versus 5 years, is significantly associated with increasing values of BCI (H/I) (interaction P  = 0.01). In contrast, expression of ER ( P  = 0.83), PR ( P  = 0.66), AR ( P  = 0.78), Ki67 ( P  = 0.87) and AR/ER ratio ( P  = 0.84) exhibited no significant relationship with EET benefit. BCI (H/I) showed a very weak negative correlation with ER ( r  = − 0.18), PR ( r  = − 0.25), and AR ( r  = − 0.14) expression, but no correlation with either Ki67 ( r  = 0.04) or AR/ER ratio ( r  = 0.02). Conclusion These findings are consistent with the growing body of evidence that BCI (H/I) is significantly predictive of response to EET and outcome. Results from this direct comparison demonstrate that expression of ER, PR, AR, Ki67 or AR/ER ratio are not predictive of benefit from EET. BCI (H/I) is the only clinically validated biomarker that predicts EET benefit.
