    Abstract: 5532 Background: Inhibition of angiogenesis is a valuable treatment strategy for ovarian cancer. Pazopanib (paz) is a potent angiogenic small molecular inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases VEGRF-1, -2, -3, PDGFR, c-kit and has shown activity as a single agent in ovarian cancer. We designed a trial to assess the benefit of adding paz to gemcitabine (gem) in patients with recurrent, advanced ovarian cancer. Methods: An open-label, randomized, multi-site, phase 2 trial was conducted (NCT01610206) including patients with platinum resistant or sensitive ovarian cancer with up to 3 prior lines of chemotherapy, and measurable or evaluable disease. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive weekly gem 1000 mg/m 2 with or without paz 800 mg QD and stratified according to platinum sensitivity and number of prior lines (1 vs 2 or 3). The primary endpoint was PFS. Intent-to-treat was defined as all eligible patients who receive any protocol treatment with analysis based on randomized arm. Results: As of 3/2017, we randomized 148 and treated 146 patients (target sample size 148 eligible patients who receive any protocol treatment). 75 (46 platinum resistant, 61%) were randomly assigned to receive gem/paz and 71 (41 platinum resistant, 58%) to receive gem only. 110 patients (75%) had received 2 or 3 prior lines. There were no unexpected toxicities or deaths. Adverse events were more common in the gem/paz group. The most common grade 3–4 AEs (gem/paz vs gem) were: neutropenia (25 [33%] vs 15 [21%] ), fatigue (7 [10%] vs 1 [2%] ), hypertension (11 [15%] vs 1 [1%] ), elevated alanine aminotransferase (8 [11%] vs 0), thrombocytopenia (9 [12%] vs 12[3%]) and anemia (7 [9%] vs 2 [3%]). There were 2 GI perforations in the paz arm. Median time on therapy was 12 weeks (range 1-55 weeks). Of the 138 patient s off study to date, 30 (22%) were for AE’s (23 on gem/paz arm). Conclusions: The gem/paz combination is tolerable in this population, with patients tolerating multiple cycles with manageable toxicity. Median follow-up and PFS data will be presented after 122 events (progression or death) have occurred per protocol (currently 117 events). Clinical trial information: NCT01610206.

    Abstract: 11019 Background: PIK3CA is mutated in up to 30% of breast cancers. Classically somatic mutations are identified by Sanger sequencing of the primary tumor specimen. However third generation droplet digital PCR technologies offer a novel platform for quantitative mutation detection with improved sensitivity. Methods: Thirty stage I-III breast cancer patients were consented on an IRB-approved prospective repository study at Johns Hopkins for collection of their primary breast tumor specimen. Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples were analyzed by standard sequencing for three PIK3CA hotspot mutations. The DNA from these samples was then analyzed using the RainDrop digital PCR platform with TaqMan probes in a triplex format to simultaneously detect and quantitate hotspot mutations and genome equivalents. Results are expressed as a percentage of mutant to wild-type PIK3CA molecules for each sample. Results: Standard sequencing of all tumors (n=30) identified seven PIK3CA Exon 20 mutations (H1047R) and three Exon 9 mutations (E545K). Samples were scored as PIK3CA mutation positive by digital PCR if the tumor DNA contained at least 5% mutant molecules. All ten mutations identified by sequencing were verified by digital PCR with quantities of mutant molecules ranging from 20.3-55.6% in a given sample. Digital PCR identified additional PIK3CA mutations that were wild type by standard sequencing including three mutant Exon 20 samples, two mutant Exon 9 samples and one sample with an Exon 20 and Exon 9 mutation. Quantities of mutant molecules in these additional samples ranged from 5-28.9%. Conclusions: RainDrop digital PCR offers improved sensitivity and quantification for detecting PIK3CA mutations in FFPE samples using nanograms of DNA. Additional mutations identified by digital PCR may reflect genetic heterogeneity or possibly tissue contamination. The clinical utility of identifying a small proportion of mutations is unknown but may impact eligibility for targeted therapies and clinical trials. Ongoing studies will also address whether the identification of solid tumor mutations in circulating cell-free plasma DNA by digital PCR can improve diagnostics and aid in therapeutic decisions.

    Abstract: Purpose: Aromatase inhibitors that block the synthesis of estrogen are proving to be superior to antiestrogens and may replace tamoxifen as first-line treatment for postmenopausal estrogen receptor (ER)–positive breast cancer patients. However, acquisition of resistance to all forms of treatments is inevitable and a major clinical concern. In this study, we have investigated the effects of long-term estrogen deprivation in the breast cancer xenograft model and whether sensitivity to antiestrogens can be restored in vivo. We also compared whether combining wortmannin with tamoxifen or fulvestrant inhibited tumor growth better than either drug alone. Experimental Design: Long-term estrogen-deprived aromatase-transfected human ER-positive breast cancer cells (UMB-1Ca) were grown as tumors in ovariectomized athymic nude mice. Twelve weeks after inoculation, when tumors reached 300 mm3, animals were grouped and injected with vehicle, Δ4A, letrozole, tamoxifen, fulvestrant, wortmannin, tamoxifen plus wortmannin, and wortmannin plus fulvestrant. Tumor volumes were measured weekly. Results: Tumors of UMB-1Ca cells grew equally well with and without androstenedione, indicating the ability of the cells to proliferate in the absence of estrogen. The combination of wortmannin with tamoxifen or fulvestrant inhibited tumor growth better than either drug alone. The combination of wortmannin plus fulvestrant was the most effective treatment that maintained tumor regression for a prolonged time. Conclusion: These results suggest that blocking both ER and growth factor receptor pathways could provide effective control over tumor growth of long-term estrogen-deprived human breast cancers.

    Abstract: Purpose: We sought to evaluate the feasibility of detecting PIK3CA mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from plasma of patients with metastatic breast cancer using a novel technique called BEAMing. Experimental Design: In a retrospective analysis, 49 tumor and temporally matched plasma samples from patients with breast cancer were screened for PIK3CA mutations by BEAMing. We then prospectively screened the ctDNA of 60 patients with metastatic breast cancer for PIK3CA mutations by BEAMing and compared the findings with results obtained by screening corresponding archival tumor tissue DNA using both sequencing and BEAMing. Results: The overall frequency of PIK3CA mutations by BEAMing was similar in both patient cohorts (29% and 28.3%, respectively). In the retrospective cohort, the concordance of PIK3CA mutation status by BEAMing between formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples and ctDNA from temporally matched plasma was 100% (34 of 34). In the prospective cohort, the concordance rate among 51 evaluable cases was 72.5% between BEAMing of ctDNA and sequencing of archival tumor tissue DNA. When the same archival tissue DNA was screened by both sequencing and BEAMing for PIK3CA mutations (n = 41 tissue samples), there was 100% concordance in the obtained results. Conclusions: Analysis of plasma-derived ctDNA for the detection of PIK3CA mutations in patients with metastatic breast cancer is feasible. Our results suggest that PIK3CA mutational status can change upon disease recurrence, emphasizing the importance of reassessing PIK3CA status on contemporary (not archival) biospecimens. These results have implications for the development of predictive biomarkers of response to targeted therapies. Clin Cancer Res; 18(12); 3462–9. ©2012 AACR.

    Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of the antiestrogen tamoxifen and the aromatase inhibitor letrozole on tumor growth, serum hormones, uterine weight, body composition, and bone characteristics in mice. Experimental Design: Human estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells stably transfected with the aromatase gene (MCF-7CA cells) were inoculated in Matrigel subcutaneously into ovariectomized nude mice. This model represents postmenopausal breast cancer in many respects, including the fact that estrogen is no longer produced by the ovaries and is not under feedback regulation by gonadotropins. Mice that received subcutaneously implanted MCF-7CA cancer cells were then treated with tamoxifen or letrozole for 7 weeks. Results: As reported previously, tumor growth was markedly inhibited by both tamoxifen (100 μg/day) and letrozole (10 μg/day). Tamoxifen treatment led to increased bone mineral density (BMD) and hyperplastic uteri. Mice treated with letrozole had significantly smaller uteri than the controls and tamoxifen-treated mice. Letrozole did not affect BMD. There was no significant difference in systemic leptin and insulin-like growth factor I levels as a result of tamoxifen or letrozole treatment. Conclusions: Tamoxifen treatment inhibited breast cancer cell growth and increased BMD but caused uterine hypertrophy in this preclinical model of postmenopausal breast cancer. Letrozole inhibited tumor growth without inducing uterine hypertrophy. In addition, letrozole had no effect on BMD. These findings provide experimental evidence that letrozole is an effective and safe (in terms of risk of endometrial cancer risk and osteoporosis) alternative or complement to tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer.

    Abstract: We examined the effects of a communication intervention to engage family care partners on patient portal (MyChart) use, illness understanding, satisfaction with cancer care, and symptoms of anxiety in a single-blind randomized trial of patients in treatment for breast cancer. Patient-family dyads were recruited and randomly assigned a self-administered checklist to clarify the care partner role, establish a shared visit agenda, and facilitate MyChart access ( n  = 63) or usual care ( n  = 55). Interviews administered at baseline, 3, 9 (primary endpoint), and 12 months assessed anxiety (GAD-2), mean FAMCARE satisfaction, and complete illness understanding (4 of 4 items correct). Time-stamped electronic interactions measured MyChart use. By 9 months, more intervention than control care partners registered for MyChart (77.8 % vs 1.8%; p   〈  0.001) and logged into the patient’s account (61.2% vs 0% of those registered; p   〈  0.001), but few sent messages to clinicians (6.1% vs 0%; p  = 0.247). More intervention than control patients viewed clinical notes (60.3% vs 32.7%; p  = 0.003). No pre-post group differences in patient or care partner symptoms of anxiety, satisfaction, or complete illness understanding were found. Intervention patients whose care partners logged into MyChart were more likely to have complete illness understanding at 9 months (changed 70.0% to 80.0% vs 69.7% to 54.6%; p  = 0.03); symptoms of anxiety were numerically lower (16.7% to 6.7% vs 15.2% to 15.2%; p  = 0.24) and satisfaction numerically higher (15.8–16.2 vs 18.0–17.4; p  = 0.25). A brief, scalable communication intervention led to greater care partner MyChart use and increased illness understanding among patients with more engaged care partners (NCT03283553).

    Abstract: 105 Background: GDC-0919, a small molecule inhibitor of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), reduces tryptophan catabolism and kynurenine production within the tumor microenvironment that may promote normal effector T cell activity and an immunogenic state. IDO1 inhibition may complement targeting of PD-L1 with atezolizumab. Methods: A Phase Ib, open-label, study assessed safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-tumor activity (RECIST v1.1) of GDC-0919 and atezolizumab in pts with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Pts were given escalating doses of GDC-0919 (50-1000 mg orally twice daily, for 21 days) and atezolizumab (1200 mg IV, every 3 weeks) using a standard 3+3 design. Results: As of 14Dec2016, 52 pts were treated in 6 cohorts of GDC-0919 plus atezolizumab. The median number of prior systemic therapies was 3 (range 1-9); 2 pts received prior immunotherapy. Pts received a median of 4 cycles of GDC-0919 and atezolizumab (range 1-17). No MTD was identified. Across all dose levels, 1 DLT was observed (Grade [G] 3 sepsis syndrome at GDC-0919 200 mg); no G4/5 AEs were attributed to study treatment. G3+ AEs, regardless of causality were reported in 34 (65%) pts. Related G3 AEs were reported in 7 (13%) pts, included nausea, rash, sepsis syndrome, fatigue, and pneumonitis. Two pts (4%) had AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, related in 1/2 (G3 pneumonitis). Combination PK was consistent with single agent observations and supports BID dosing of GDC-0919. Peripheral PD showed dose-dependent decreases in plasma kynurenine, consistent with systemic modulation of IDO1. Preliminary efficacy data from 45 pts with ≥ 1 on-treatment tumor assessments included 4 patients (9%) with partial response and 11 (24%) pts with stable disease. Conclusions: The combination of GDC-0919 and atezolizumab was generally well-tolerated and demonstrated peripheral IDO1 modulation and preliminary efficacy in a heterogeneous patient population during dose escalation. The study is currently enrolling pts with select tumor types in expansion cohorts to assess tumor PD and combination efficacy. Clinical trial information: NCT02471846.
