    Abstract: e15526 Background: Even years after successful treatment of the primary tumor about 30% of breast cancer patients are suffering from metastatic relapse. One reason might be hematogenous spread. Therefore circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the blood might be interesting and easy accessible surrogate markers for disease monitoring. Due to phenotypical, mechanical and functional changes during cancer progression and treatment response, isolation of CTC subpopulations remains very challenging. Here we focused on the characterization of CTC mechanics to evaluate the utility of mechanical parameters for CTC separation from blood. Methods: For the first time, we investigated the active and passive mechanical CTC properties such as elasticity, viscosity and contractile force exertion using a dual beam trap. For proof of premise we used peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a healthy donor and human GFP-expressing MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells to mimic a CTC model system and to measure cell type specific mechanical deformation profiles using an optical rheometer. For translational experiments blood samples were collected from patients with mamma or vulvar carcinoma. Hematopoietic cells were depleted using CD45. The remaining cell suspensions were applied to the optical stretcher and rheological parameters were measured in the same manner. Results: We were able to reveal distinct mechanical profiles from hematopoietic cells and breast cancer cells, respectively. The optical deformability was significantly different in both the model and the translational, systems comparing healthy PPMC to MDA-MB 231 cells, respective possible CTC candidates from breast and vulvar carcinoma patients. Evaluation of secondary parameters like viscosity and activity using a machine learning algorithm allowed for a clear distinction between hematopoietic and cancer cells in the model system. CD45-positive and -negative cells from patients with mamma or vulvar carcinoma (n = 7) showed distinct differences in the rheological behavior of both cell populations. Surprisingly, the mechanical profiles of CD45-negative cells from mamma carcinoma samples were severely different from vulvar carcinoma. Conclusions: Together with morphology and cell size, the cellular deformation pattern might be a proper tool for marker-free CTC detection in the peripheral blood of breast cancer patients.

    Abstract: e17512 Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of preoperative core needle biopsy (CNB) assessment of histological characteristics in primary cervical cancer. Methods: We reviewed 318 cases of primary cervical carcinoma with available pathology reports from preoperative CNB assessment and from final postoperative evaluation of the hysterectomy specimen. Setting the postoperative comprehensive pathological evaluation as reference, we analysed CNB assessment of histological tumor characteristics. In addition, we performed multivariable logistic regression to identify factors influencing the accuracy in identifying lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and tumor grade. Results: CNB was highly accurate in discriminating histological subtype. Sensitivity and specificity were 98.8% and 89% for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 92.9% and 96.6% for adenocarcinoma (AC), 33.3% and 100% in adenosquamous carcinoma respectively. Neuroendocrine carcinoma was always recognized correctly. The accuracy of the prediction of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) was 61.9% and was positively influenced by tumor size in preoperative MRI and negatively influenced by strong peritumoral inflammation. High tumor grade was diagnosed accurately in 73.9% of cases and was influenced by histological tumor type. Conclusions: CNB is an accurate sampling technique for histological classification of cervical cancer and represents a reasonable alternative to other biopsy techniques. Factors such as peritumoral inflammation, tumor size or tumor subtype may influence the accuracy of histologic Evaluation and should be taken into account when interpreting the results.

    Abstract: e11516 Background: The OncotypeDX assay is a validated genomic test that predicts the likelihood of breast cancer (BC) recurrence, patients’ (pts) survival within 10 years of diagnosis and benefit of chemotherapy in early-stage, N0, ER-pos BC. In addition, disseminated tumor cells (DTC) in the bone marrow (BM) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood, especially stemness like tumor cells (slCTCs) including cells being able to perform epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), have been associated with worse outcome in BC. Here we use OncotypeDX as well as the presence of DTCs, CTCs and slCTCs to evaluate the risk for recurrence in early BC pts. Methods: In total, 90 pts with newly diagnosed HER2-neg early stage BC received breast conserving surgery and sentinel lymphonodectomy. 17 pts were ER-/PR-, 12 pts ER+/PR-, 3 pts ER-/PR+ and 59 pts were ER+/PR+. Analysis of OncotypeDX and KI67 were performed. In case of G2 tumors, UPA and PAI1 were determined as further proliferation markers in tissue samples. Two BM aspirates from these patients were analyzed by immunocytochemistry for DTCs using the pan-cytokeratin antibody A45-B/B3. Furthermore, 2 x5 ml blood were analyzed for CTCs with the AdnaTest BreastCancer for the detection of EpCAM, MUC-1, HER-2, and beta-Actin transcripts. The recovered c-DNA was additionally multiplex tested for the presence of slCTCs using the AdnaTest EMT (multiplex RT-PCR for TWIST, AKT2, PI3K), and the AdnaTest TumorStemCell (ALDH1). Results: OncotypeDX was performed in 68/91 cases. 30/68 pts (44%) had a low RS, 29/68 pts (43%) an intermediate RS and 9/68 pts (13%) a high RS, respectively. BM aspiration could be performed in 70/91 pts with a positivity rate of 34% (24/70) for DTCs. CTCs were detected in 16/68 (25%) evaluable pts and slCTCs in 27/62 (44%) pts, respectively. In preliminary statistical analysis, KI67, PR and grading are showing association to RS as well as the presence of slCTCs. Tissue samples of patients with G2 tumors (N=65) underwent evaluation for UPA/PAI1analysis. Conclusions: Final statistical analysis for the complete data set including correlations to RS with all evaluable parameter will be available for presentation at the ASCO.

    Abstract: TPS1124 Background: The combination of an oral CDK4/6 inhibitor with endocrine therapy (ET) has become the standard first-line therapy for women with advanced HR+ HER2- breast cancer. In this context, the broadest clinical trial data are available for ribociclib, a highly selective CDK4/6 inhibitor, with three phase III trials (MONALEESA-2, -3 and -7) consistently showing a significant overall survival benefit compared to ET monotherapy regardless of treatment line, menopausal status or combination partner. However, de novo or acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors does occur and biomarkers predicting treatment response or providing information on resistance mechanisms are only beginning to be understood. Comprehensive identification and validation of biomarkers before and during ribociclib therapy is needed to better understand mechanisms leading to disease progression, which will be the first step towards developing novel therapies and optimizing treatment sequences. Methods: CAPTOR-BC (NCT054552213) is a single-arm, open-label phase IV study evaluating the combination of ribociclib and ET according to SmPC in the first-line treatment of HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer to identify and validate molecular and non-molecular biomarkers predictive of drug response and resistance. First patient first visit occurred in October 2022 and at least 1000 patients across more than 75 sites in Germany will be enrolled until October 2025. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 12 months are the co-primary endpoints, quality of life (QoL) and toxicity are secondary endpoints. Exploratively, a comprehensive multi-omics biomarker discovery and validation program is integrated into the study: Besides tumor tissue, liquid biopsies profiling circulating tumor (ct)DNA, ctRNA, whole blood RNA, proteins from serum and plasma, and circulating immune cells will be evaluated before, during and after treatment or upon progression to determine correlations with PFS, OS, QoL and adverse events. Clinical trial information: NCT05452213 .

    Abstract: e12559 Background: Lately large clinical trials have provided new treatment options for patients with metastatic HER2-low breast cancer. Studies have shown that there may be change in the expression of HER2 during disease progression. Yet, it is rarely considered that there can be already differences between primary tumor and synchronous lymph node metastases (LMN) in the primary setting. The aim of the present study was to analyze different HER2 expression profiles between primary tumor and synchronous LNM. Methods: We included 205 patients with primary breast cancer and LNM who underwent oncologic surgery between 2008 and 2021. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material were routinely examined immunohistochemically according to the ASCO guidelines. Membranous HER2-staining was scored as follows: zero = 0, low = 1+, equivocal = 2+ and positive = 3+. Results: 205 patients were either HER2 low or HER2 zero in CNB. When comparing CNB and LNM 5 (2,4%) patients were HER2 zero in CNB and HER2 low in LNM. 161 (78.5%) patients were HER2 zero in both CNB and LNM. 21 (10.2%) patients had a shift from HER2 low to HER2 zero in LNM. 18 (8,8%) patients had a HER2 low expression in CNB and HER2 zero expression in LNM. Conclusions: There seems to be a high frequency of HER2 heterogeneity between primary tumor and LNM in the primary setting. Different HER2 expression profiles should be considered for an optimal and individual treatment.

    Abstract: TPS1146 Background: HER2 status may change over the course of disease in breast cancer pts. Approx. 20-30% of pts with initially HER2-negative breast cancer have HER2-positive metastasis (Zidan et al. 2005; Tewes et al. 2009). Determining HER2 status on CTC is one option to re-evaluate HER2 status at the time metastasis is diagnosed. Currently it is unclear if HER2-targeted therapy based on the assessment of HER2 status of CTC reveals a clinical benefit. Methods: This is a randomized, open-label, two arm phase III study to investigate the clinical efficacy of lapatinib, as a HER2-targeted therapy in initially HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer pts with HER2-positive CTC at the time of distant disease. As only half of the pts with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer show CTC-positivity and of those approx. 32% will exhibit HER2-positive CTC (Fehm et al. 2010), screening of about 1420 pts is required to enroll 228 pts. Main inclusion criteria: metastatic breast cancer with HER2-negative primary tumor tissue and/or biopsies from metastatic sites or locoregional recurrences, evidence of ≥1 HER2-positive CTC and ≥1 measurable metastatic lesion according to RECIST. Eligible pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive standard treatment vs. standard treatment plus lapatinib. Standard chemo- or endocrine therapy must be approved in combination with lapatinib or been investigated in prior clinical trials. Primary endpoint is progression free survival. Secondary endpoints include overall response rate, clinical benefit rate, overall survival and dynamic of CTC. The DETECT III trial is one of the first trials where treatment is based on phenotypic characteristics of CTC. If this trial succeeds in proving efficacy of lapatinib in pts with initially HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer but HER2-positive CTC, this will establish a new strategy in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

    Abstract: 10599 Background: Circulating tumor cells (CTC) reflect an aggressive tumor behavior by hematogenous tumor cell dissemination. Overexpression of HER2 in breast cancer (BC) is associated with increased angiogenesis and therefore potentially linked to increased hematogenous tumor cell spread. The aim of the analysis was to investigate whether concentrations of serum HER2 (sHER2) deliver prognostic information in the context of CTC detection in metastatic BC patients. Methods: Blood was obtained in a prospective multicenter setting from 254 patients with metastatic BC at the time of disease progression. sHER2 was determined using a commercial ELISA-kit (Wilex). CTC were detected with the CellSearch system (Veridex). Patients received systemic treatment according to national and international guidelines including HER2-targeted treatment. Results: Five or more CTC were detected in 122 of 245 evaluable patients (49.8%).119 of 251 (47%) metastatic patients had serum sHER2 levels above 15ng/mL. Median PFS was 9.2 months (95%-CI: 9.9 – 13.0 mths) with elevated sHER2 versus 11.4 mths (9.9 – 13.0 mths) with non-elevated levels (p=0.07). OS was 17.4 mths (14.6 – 20.3 mths) vs. 26.5 mths (23.1-29.8 mths; p 〈 0.01). In patients with 5 or more CTC, serum levels were above the cut-off for sHER2 in 61% vs. 33% in those with less than 5 CTC (p 〈 0.01). Patients with elevated sHER and 5 or more CTC hat a PFS of 9.1 mths (7.2 – 11.1 mths) and a OS of 14.5 mths (11.8 – 17.2 mths), those with non-elevated sHER2 and less than 5 CTC a PFS of 12.1 (10.1 – 14.1 mths) and a OS of 29.5 month (25.4 – 33.6 mths) (p=0.15 for PFS and p 〈 0.01 for OS). Including sHER2, CTC and established prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis, the presence of CTC, line of therapy, ER and HER2 status of the primary tumor remained independent predictors of OS. Conclusions: Elevated serum levels of sHER2 are associated with the presence of CTC and indicate poor clinical outcome. However, sHER2 has no independent prognostic value when presence of CTC were taken into account.

    Abstract: 1077 Background: 1st-line BEV combined with weekly PAC significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) vs PAC alone in HER2-negative mBC, as shown in E2100. We analyzed data from a German routine oncology practice study of 1st-line BEV–PAC according to prognostic factors. Methods: Pts who had received no prior chemotherapy for mBC received BEV–PAC according to the European label. Efficacy and safety were documented for up to 1 y (or until progression, death, or BEV discontinuation if earlier) with additional long-term follow-up. Efficacy was analyzed in clinically important subgroups. Results: Efficacy data were available for 818 pts. The median duration of follow-up was 11.4 mo. The composition of the pt population with respect to the subgroups below was generally similar to the population treated in E2100, except for a higher proportion of pts with visceral disease or metastases in 〈 3 organs. RR was very similar across all subgroups analyzed. Differences in median PFS and OS were generally in line with the differing prognoses according to clinical characteristics. Conclusions: These data suggest that 1st-line BEV–PAC is typically associated with median PFS 〉 9 mo in the real-life setting, irrespective of baseline characteristics. [Table: see text]
