    Abstract: Patients with newly resected stage II melanoma (n = 104) were randomized to receive adjuvant vitamin D3 (100,000 IU every 50 days) or placebo for 3 years to investigate vitamin D3 protective effects on developing a recurrent disease. Median age at diagnosis was 50 years, and 43% of the patients were female. Median serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) level at baseline was 18 ng/mL, interquartile range (IQ) was 13–24 ng/mL, and 80% of the patients had insufficient vitamin D levels. We observed pronounced increases in 25OHD levels after 4 months in the active arm (median 32.9 ng/mL; IQ range 25.9–38.4) against placebo (median 19.05 ng/mL; IQ range 13.0–25.9), constantly rising during treatment. Remarkably, patients with low Breslow score ( 〈 3 mm) had a double increase in 25OHD levels from baseline, whereas patients with Breslow score ≥3 mm had a significantly lower increase over time. After 12 months, subjects with low 25OHD levels and Breslow score ≥3 mm had shorter disease-free survival (p = 0.02) compared to those with Breslow score 〈 3 mm and/or high levels of 25OHD. Adjusting for age and treatment arm, the hazard ratio for relapse was 4.81 (95% CI: 1.44–16.09, p = 0.011). Despite the evidence of a role of 25OHD in melanoma prognosis, larger trials with vitamin D supplementation involving subjects with melanoma are needed.

    Abstract: Background The updated combined SOFT+TEXT analysis, after 9 years median follow-up (MFU), revealed that adjuvant E+OFS vs T+OFS significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) and distant recurrence-free interval (DRFI) but not overall survival (OS) in premenopausal women with HR+ early BC (Francis et al NEJM 2018). Given the high rate of OS in both arms and the long-term risk of relapse in HR+ BC, continued follow-up is key to assessing treatment benefit. We report a planned update analysis including OS with database lock of May 2021, after 13 years MFU.. Methods TEXT and SOFT enrolled premenopausal women with HR+ early BC from November 2003 to April 2011 (2660 in TEXT, 3047 in SOFT intention-to-treat (ITT) populations). TEXT randomized women within 12 weeks of surgery to 5 years E+OFS vs T+OFS; chemotherapy (CT) was optional and concurrent with OFS. SOFT randomized women to 5 years E+OFS vs T+OFS vs T alone, within 12 weeks of surgery if no CT planned, or within 8 months of completing (neo)adjuvant CT. Both trials were stratified by CT use. For the combined analysis of E+OFS vs T+OFS, the primary endpoint was DFS defined as invasive local, regional, distant recurrence, contralateral BC, second malignancy, death. Secondary endpoints included invasive breast cancer-free interval (BCFI), DRFI and OS.. Results: At database lock there were 953 DFS events and 473 deaths among 4690 pts assigned to T+OFS or E+OFS. In the ITT population, DFS, BCFI and DRFI outcomes for pts assigned E+OFS (n=2346) continued to be significantly improved over T+OFS (n=2344). 12-yr DFS was 80.5% vs. 75.9% (4.6% absolute improvement; HR 0.79 95% CI 0.70-0.90), 12-yr BCFI was improved by 4.1% and 12-yr DRFI by 1.8%. At 12 years OS was excellent in both groups, 90.1% in pts assigned E+OFS vs 89.1% in pts assigned T+OFS (HR 0.93; 95% CI, 0.78-1.11). There was heterogeneity of relative treatment effect according to HER2 status. When enrollment commenced, anti-HER2 adjuvant therapy was not standard; 53% of 583 pts with HER2+ tumors received HER2-targeted therapy. Below are Kaplan-Meier 12-yr estimates for patients with HER2 negative tumors by trial and chemotherapy stratum and for those with high-grade tumours, as an example of high-risk feature (Table). There is an emerging OS benefit for E+OFS vs T+OFS in pts with HER2 negative tumors who received chemotherapy in both trials.In pts with HER2-negative tumors, clinically-relevant outcome benefits were also seen in other high-risk subgroups: 12-yr DFS and OS were improved by 7.4% and 2.7%, respectively, in pts with pN1a disease, and by 10.6% and 4.5%, respectively, in those with tumors & gt;2cm. Conclusions After 13 years MFU, adjuvant E+OFS, as compared with T+OFS, shows a sustained reduction in the risk of recurrence, more consistent in HER2 negative patients and in those with high-risk disease features, e.g., indication for adjuvant chemotherapy and G3 tumors. Oncologists may use this information to discuss potential benefits of E+OFS with individual patients. Follow-up continues for 5 additional years.

    Abstract: No gold standard treatment exists for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Clinical decision making is based on knowledge of prognostic and predictive factors that are extrapolated from clinical trials and, sometimes, are not reliably transferable to a real-world scenario. Moreover, misalignment between endpoints used in drug development and measures of outcome in clinical practice has been noted. The roles of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as primary endpoints in the context of clinical trials are the subjects of lively debate. Information about these parameters in routine clinical practice is potentially useful to design new studies and/or to interpret the results of clinical research. This study analyzed the impact of patient and tumor characteristics on the major measures of outcome across different lines of treatment in a cohort of 472 patients treated for MBC. OS, PFS, and postprogression survival (PPS) were analyzed. The study showed how biological and clinical characteristics may have different prognostic value across different lines of therapy for MBC. After first-line treatment, the median PPS of luminal A, luminal B, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive groups was longer than 12 months. The choice of OS as a primary endpoint for clinical trials could not be appropriate with these subtypes. In contrast, OS could be an appropriate endpoint when PPS is expected to be low (e.g., triple-negative subtype after the first line; other subtypes after the third line). The potential implications of these findings are clinical and methodological.

    Abstract: Advanced melanoma (AM) represents the leading cause of death from skin cancer. To date, the crucial role of the immune system in AM pathogenesis and progression is well known, but the prognostic value of clinicopathological characteristics remains unclear. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an ascertained prognostic indicator and previous data showed that AM patients treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors with normal LDH values and fewer than three metastatic sites achieved a better outcome. Moreover, the neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio and the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) have been suggested as other potential prognostic factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of LMR together with other clinical biomarkers in patients with AM. We retrospectively analyzed 162 consecutive patients with AM treated between January 2010 and March 2016. Outcome was measured in terms of overall survival (OS). In our cohort, the BRAF mutation was present in 74 (46%) patients. Overall, 42 and 26% of the patients received targeted therapy and immunotherapy, respectively. After 48 months of follow-up, 129 (78%) patients died; the median OS was 12.8 months. High LMR was associated with the following clinicopathological characteristics: absence of central nervous system localization ( P = 0.011), fewer than three metastatic sites ( P = 0.014), and normal LDH ( P = 0.006). In multivariate analysis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 〉 1 [hazard ratio (HR) 7.87, P = 0.001], high LDH (HR 2.76, P = 0.006), and high LMR (HR 0.76, P = 0.033) were associated significantly with OS. In conclusion, LMR seems to be associated with OS. Further prospective investigations are needed to confirm these data and introduce peripheral blood cell count in daily clinical use.

    Abstract: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are prognostic in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC). However, no data exist about their use in patients treated with palbociclib. We analyzed the prognostic role of CTC counts in patients enrolled in the cTREnd study, a pre-planned translational sub-study of TREnd (NCT02549430), that randomized patients with ABC to palbociclib alone or palbociclib plus the endocrine therapy received in the prior line of treatment. Moreover, we evaluated RB1 gene expression on CTCs and explored its prognostic role within the cTREnd subpopulation. Methods Forty-six patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative ABC were analyzed. Blood samples were collected before starting palbociclib treatment (timepoint T0), after the first cycle of treatment (timepoint T1), and at disease progression (timepoint T2). CTCs were isolated and counted by CellSearch® System using the CellSearch™Epithelial Cell kit. Progression-free survival (PFS), clinical benefit (CB) during study treatment, and time to treatment failure (TTF) after study treatment were correlated with CTC counts. Samples with ≥ 5 CTCs were sorted by DEPArray system® (DA). RB1 and GAPDH gene expression levels were measured by ddPCR. Results All 46 patients were suitable for CTCs analysis. CTC count at T0 did not show significant prognostic value in terms of PFS and CB. Patients with at least one detectable CTC at T1 ( n  = 26) had a worse PFS than those with 0 CTCs ( n  = 16) ( p  = 0.02). At T1, patients with an increase of at least three CTCs showed reduced PFS compared to those with no increase (mPFS = 3 versus 9 months, ( p  = 0.004). Finally, patients with ≥ 5 CTCs at T2 ( n  = 6/23) who received chemotherapy as post-study treatment had a shorter TTF ( p  = 0.02). Gene expression data for RB1 were obtained from 19 patients. CTCs showed heterogeneous RB1 expression. Patients with detectable expression of RB1 at any timepoint showed better, but not statistically significant, outcomes than those with undetectable levels. Conclusions CTC count seems to be a promising modality in monitoring palbociclib response. Moreover, CTC count at the time of progression could predict clinical outcome post-palbociclib. RB1 expression analysis on CTCs is feasible and may provide additional prognostic information. Results should be interpreted with caution given the small studied sample size.

    Abstract: Background: The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (P) is approved for the treatment of luminal metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in combination with endocrine therapy (ET). It leads to reduced phosphorylation of the Rb protein resulting in a decrease in E2F activity and eventual cell cycle arrest. Thymidine kinase 1 is a well-known cancer proliferation marker downstream of the E2F pathway, whose activity can be measured in plasma samples as readout of tumor proliferation. Circulating thymidine kinase activity (TKa) is a prognostic marker in MBC patients (pts) treated with ET, both when measured at baseline and during treatment. TKa has been previously shown to decrease in pts treated with neoadjuvant P+ET for 15 days, which was attributed as pharmacodynamic change on P treatment. The predictive value of TKa changes during treatment with P, as well as the dynamics of TKa changes on P-containing treatments are not yet comprehensively defined. Here we investigate the role of plasma TKa measured at different timepoints in a cohort from the TREnd study (NCT02549430). Methods: TREnd was a randomized phase II trial that allocated 115 pts with moderately pre-treated luminal MBC to receive single-agent P or P plus the same ET agent that was received in the prior line of therapy. Plasma samples were collected at baseline (T0; n=45), at day 1 of cycle 2 (T1; n=45) and at disease progression (T2; n= 36) from 46 consenting pts. TKa was measured with DiviTum®, a refined ELISA-based assay. Patients were dichotomized as high/low at T0 based on an optimal cut-off (260 Du/L) determined by maximally selected rank statistics, and on the median value at T2 (250 Du/L). Dynamic changes between T0 and T1 were deemed meaningful if & gt;10% of T1 or T0, whichever was greatest. Clinical outcome was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Median TKa (mTKa) at T0 was 73 Du/L (range 20-4302). As expected, P-containing treatment reduced mTKa levels at T1 (37 Du/L, range 20-4504). Conversely, at disease progression, TKa increased compared to T0 (mTKa at T2, 250 Du/L, range 20-3653). Median time to progression (mTTP) in pts with low TKa at T0 (n= 33) was 8.5 months, compared to 5.6 months in pts with high TKa (n= 12). Interestingly, pts with an increase in TKa at T1 (n=9) had a mTTP of only 3.1 months compared to pts with stable/reduced TKa (N=35), who showed a mTTP of 9 months. Considering the potential significance of TKa measured at disease progression, pts with high levels at T2 (n=18) had a worse outcome on subsequent post-study treatment (both chemotherapy and ET) compared to those with lower levels (n=18) (mTTP at T2, 2.9 vs 8.9 months, respectively). Conclusions: These data suggest for the first time that TKa may be a useful prognostic biomarker for non-invasive monitoring of MBC in the context of treatment with P. These results warrant further investigation in larger sample sets. Citation Format: Luca Malorni, Chiara Biagioni, Francesca De Luca, Martina Bonechi, Giuseppe Curigliano, Alessandro M.
