    Abstract: HER2 transactivation by the HER3 ligand heregulin (HRG) promotes an endocrine-resistant phenotype in the estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) luminal-B subtype of breast cancer. The underlying biological mechanisms that link them are, however, incompletely understood. Here, we evaluated the putative role of the lipogenic enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) as a major cause of HRG-driven endocrine resistance in ER+/HER2-negative breast cancer cells. MCF-7 cells engineered to stably overexpress HRG (MCF-7/HRG), an in vitro model of tamoxifen/fulvestrant-resistant luminal B-like breast cancer, showed a pronounced up-regulation of FASN gene/FASN protein expression. Autocrine HRG up-regulated FASN expression via HER2 transactivation and downstream activation of PI-3K/AKT and MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling pathways. The HRG-driven FASN-overexpressing phenotype was fully prevented in MCF-7 cells expressing a structural deletion mutant of HRG that is sequestered in a cellular compartment and lacks the ability to promote endocrine-resistance in an autocrine manner. Pharmacological inhibition of FASN activity blocked the estradiol-independent and tamoxifen/fulvestrant-refractory ability of MCF-7/HRG cells to anchorage-independently grow in soft-agar. In vivo treatment with a FASN inhibitor restored the anti-tumor activity of tamoxifen and fulvestrant against fast-growing, hormone-resistant MCF-7/HRG xenograft tumors in mice. Overall, these findings implicate FASN as a key enabler for endocrine resistance in HRG+/HER2- breast cancer and highlight the therapeutic potential of FASN inhibitors for the treatment of endocrine therapy-resistant luminal-B breast cancer.

    Abstract: Eflapegrastim, a novel, long-acting recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), consists of a rhG-CSF analog conjugated to a human IgG4 Fc fragment via a short polyethylene glycol linker. Preclinical and phase I and II pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data showed increased potency for neutrophil counts for eflapegrastim versus pegfilgrastim. This open-label phase III trial compared the efficacy and safety of eflapegrastim with pegfilgrastim for reducing the risk of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Materials and Methods Patients with early-stage breast cancer were randomized 1:1 to fixed-dose eflapegrastim 13.2 mg (3.6 mg G-CSF) or standard pegfilgrastim (6 mg G-CSF) following standard docetaxel plus cyclophosphamide chemotherapy for 4 cycles. The primary objective was to demonstrate the noninferiority of eflapegrastim compared with pegfilgrastim in mean duration of severe neutropenia (DSN; grade 4) in cycle 1. Results Eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to study arms (eflapegrastim, n = 196; pegfilgrastim, n = 210). The incidence of cycle 1 severe neutropenia was 16% (n = 31) for eflapegrastim versus 24% (n = 51) for pegfilgrastim, reducing the relative risk by 35% (p = .034). The difference in mean cycle 1 DSN (−0.148 day) met the primary endpoint of noninferiority (p & lt; .0001) and also showed statistical superiority for eflapegrastim (p = .013). Noninferiority was maintained for the duration of treatment (all cycles, p & lt; .0001), and secondary efficacy endpoints and safety results were also comparable for study arms. Conclusion These results demonstrate noninferiority and comparable safety for eflapegrastim at a lower G-CSF dose versus pegfilgrastim. The potential for increased potency of eflapegrastim to deliver improved clinical benefit warrants further clinical study in patients at higher risk for CIN. Implications for Practice Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) remains a significant clinical dilemma for oncology patients who are striving to complete their prescribed chemotherapy regimen. In a randomized, phase III trial comparing eflapegrastim to pegfilgrastim in the prevention of CIN, the efficacy of eflapegrastim was noninferior to pegfilgrastim and had comparable safety. Nevertheless, the risk of CIN remains a great concern for patients undergoing chemotherapy, as the condition frequently results in chemotherapy delays, dose reductions, and treatment discontinuations.

    Abstract: The identification of clinically important molecular mechanisms driving endocrine resistance is a priority in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Although both genomic and non-genomic cross-talk between the ER and growth factor receptors such as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has frequently been associated with both experimental and clinical endocrine therapy resistance, combined targeting of ER and HER2 has failed to improve overall survival in endocrine non-responsive disease. Herein, we questioned the role of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a lipogenic enzyme linked to HER2-driven breast cancer aggressiveness, in the development and maintenance of hormone-independent growth and resistance to anti-estrogens in ER/HER2-positive (ER+/HER2+) breast cancer. The stimulatory effects of estradiol on FASN gene promoter activity and protein expression were blunted by anti-estrogens in endocrine-responsive breast cancer cells. Conversely, an AKT/MAPK-related constitutive hyperactivation of FASN gene promoter activity was unaltered in response to estradiol in non-endocrine responsive ER+/HER2+ breast cancer cells, and could be further enhanced by tamoxifen. Pharmacological blockade with structurally and mechanistically unrelated FASN inhibitors fully impeded the strong stimulatory activity of tamoxifen on the soft-agar colony forming capacity—an in vitro metric of tumorigenicity—of ER+/HER2+ breast cancer cells. In vivo treatment with a FASN inhibitor completely prevented the agonistic tumor-promoting activity of tamoxifen and fully restored its estrogen antagonist properties against ER/HER2-positive xenograft tumors in mice. Functional cancer proteomic data from The Cancer Proteome Atlas (TCPA) revealed that the ER+/HER2+ subtype was the highest FASN protein expressor compared to basal-like, HER2-enriched, and ER+/HER2-negative breast cancer groups. FASN is a biological determinant of HER2-driven endocrine resistance in ER+ breast cancer. Next-generation, clinical-grade FASN inhibitors may be therapeutically relevant to countering resistance to tamoxifen in FASN-overexpressing ER+/HER2+ breast carcinomas.

    Abstract: Fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity is a potential therapeutic target to treat cancer and obesity. Here, we have identified a molecular link between FAS and HER2 ( erb B-2) oncogene, a marker for poor prognosis that is overexpressed in 30% of breast and ovarian cancers. Pharmacological FAS inhibitors cerulenin and C75 were found to suppress p185 HER2 oncoprotein expression and tyrosine-kinase activity in breast and ovarian HER2 overexpressors. Similarly, p185 HER2 expression was dramatically down-regulated when FAS gene expression was silenced by using the highly sequence-specific mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi). Pharmacological and RNAi-mediated silencing of FAS specifically down-regulated HER2 mRNA and, concomitantly, caused a prominent up-regulation of PEA3, a transcriptional repressor of HER2 . A cytoplasmic redistribution of p185 HER2 was associated with marked morphological changes of FAS RNAi-transfected cells, whereas chemical inhibitors of FAS promoted a striking nuclear accumulation of p185 HER2 . The simultaneous targeting of FAS and HER2 by chemical FAS inhibitors and the humanized antibody directed against p185 HER2 trastuzumab, respectively, was synergistically cytotoxic toward HER2 overexpressors. Similarly, concurrent RNAi-mediated silencing of FAS and HER2 genes synergistically stimulated apoptotic cell death in HER2 overexpressors. p185 HER2 was synergistically down-regulated after simultaneous inhibition of FAS and HER2 by either pharmacological inhibitors or small interfering RNA. These findings provide evidence of an active role of FAS in cancer evolution by specifically regulating oncogenic proteins closely related to malignant transformation, strongly suggesting that HER2 oncogene may act as the key molecular sensor of energy imbalance after the perturbation of tumor-associated FAS hyperactivity in cancer cells.

    Abstract: TPS5600 Background: KIF18A is a mitotic kinesin motor protein that regulates chromosome positioning during cell division and is overexpressed in a subset of human cancers. TP53 mutant unstable aneuploid cancer cells with chromosomal instability (CIN) features are dependent on KIF18A motor activity to prevent lethal multipolar cell division. Preclinical data demonstrate that treatment with AMG 650; an oral, first in class, selective small molecule inhibitor of KIF18A may be safe and tolerable. We are conducting a first-in-human phase 1 study with AMG 650 in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with TP53MUT, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) or serous like endometrial cancers and other solid tumors. Methods: In this phase 1, multicentric, dose escalation and dose expansion study we evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 650 monotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (NCT04293094). The main objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) based on emerging safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics (PD) data prior to reaching the MTD. Key inclusion criteria include the presence of measurable disease and diagnosis of advanced/metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), serous-like endometrial cancer or other solid tumors with documented TP53 mutations. In the dose expansion phase, participants with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC or HGSOC will be treated with the preliminary RP2D identified from the dose exploration part of the study. Primary endpoints include the incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs),Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-related Adverse Events and the evaluation of the number of participants who experience a clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs, electrocardiogram and laboratory tests parameters. Secondary endpoints include Objective Response Rate, Duration of Response, Progression-free Survival, Clinical Benefit Rate, Time to Response, Time to Progression, Overall Survival (OS), Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of AMG 650, Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of AMG 650 as well as Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval for AMG 650. Continuous monitoring of toxicity is conducted. The study began enrolling pts in March 2020 and is ongoing.

    Abstract: 539 Background: Eflapegrastim (E) is a novel long-acting GCSF comprised of recombinant human GCSF covalently linked to human IgG4 Fc fragment via a PEG linker (MW, 72 kDa). E showed increased potency vs pegfilgrastim (P) in preclinical and Phase I and II trials. Two identically designed Phase III pivotal trials (NCT02643420, NCT02953340) were conducted globally with a fixed dose of 13.2 mg E containing 3.6 mg GCSF to evaluate E vs P (6 mg) in pts receiving chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. Methods: Each open-label trial randomized pts 1:1 to a single subcutaneous dose of E 13.2 mg/0.6 mL or P 6 mg/0.6 mL on Day 2 of each of four 21-day cycles following Day 1 adj/neoadj docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 + cyclophosphamide 600mg/m 2 (TC). The primary endpoint was to demonstrate E non-inferiority (NI) to P as measured by mean duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle 1. Results: A total 643 intent-to-treat pts (314 E/329 P) with median age 60 yrs (24–88) were enrolled. Cycle 1 mean (SD) DSN was 0.24 (0.581) vs 0.36 (0.789) days for E and P, confirming NI (p 〈 .0001) and suggesting statistical superiority (p 〈 .029). DSN NI was also shown across cycles 2–4. Among subgroups, including elderly (≥65 yrs) and overweight ( 〉 75kg) pts, DSN was reduced for E vs P. In Cycle 1, E showed an absolute risk reduction for severe neutropenia of 6.5% vs P (27.1% relative risk reduction, p 〈 .043). Neutropenic complications (hospitalization and/or anti-infective use) were 2.9% and 4.0% for E and P (p = ns). Incidence of FN was low for both E and P, 1.6% vs 1.8% in Cycle 1 and 3.2% vs 3.0% overall. ANC profiles showed sustained increased levels for E vs P in the recovery phase across all cycles. Safety profiles were similar for E and P, including primarily for expected hematologic AEs and for bone pain and other musculoskeletal pain. Conclusions: These integrated pivotal trial results confirm a similar safety profile and non-inferiority in reducing neutropenic risk for E at a lower GCSF dose vs P. The data also suggests the potential for increased potency of E to deliver improved clinical benefit, a possibility that warrants further clinical trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02643420, NCT02953340.
