Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Danielle Roman, PharmD, BCOP Manager, Clinical Pharmacy Services Allegheny Health Network Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) • Lack of expression of ER, PR, and absence of HER2 overexpression TNBC • Most fatal subtype of breast cancer • Generally displays a short time to relapse • 5-year OS for metastatic TNBC = 11% ER, estrogen receptor; PR, progesterone receptor; OS, overall survival Breast cancer facts and figures, 2019-2020 .

Clinical Features of TNBC • Aggressive natural history • Worse prognosis compared with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer • High 5-year recurrence rate for early-stage disease, which peaks 2-3 years after diagnosis • High propensity for brain and lung metastases • Median OS for metastatic TNBC is 12-18 months • More commonly seen in the following women: • Younger • Obese • Premenopausal • African American Lebert JM, et al. Curr Oncol 2018;25:S142-150; Azim HA, et al. Breast J. 2020;26:69-80.
Pathologic and Molecular Features of TNBC • High pathologic grade • Molecular heterogeneity • Strong correlation with BRCA1/2 mutation status • 15%-20% of patients with TNBC demonstrate a germline BRCA mutation • Somatic p53 mutations are common but not clinically actionable • Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) infiltration is more common than other subtypes • Basal-like subtype is the most common intrinsic subtype by gene expression analysis • P13K activation is common Sharma P.

Chemotherapy Options: Preferred Regimens First or Subsequent Lines Anthracyclines Microtubule inhibitors • Doxorubicin • Vinorelbine • Liposomal doxorubicin • Eribulin Chemotherapy + immunotherapy (PD-L1+) Taxanes • Atezolizumab + albumin-bound paclitaxel • Paclitaxel Platinum (for germline BRCA1/2 mutation) Antimetabolites • Carboplatin • Capecitabine • Cisplatin • Gemcitabine NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology.

TNT Trial: Carboplatin vs Docetaxel in Advanced TNBC or BRCA1/2 + Breast Cancer Median PFS Carboplatin Docetaxel P value All patients 3.1 months 4.4 months 0.4 BRCA1/2 6.8 months 4.4 months 0.002 patients • PFS favored carboplatin in the BRCA1/2 group • No OS benefit found; carboplatin = 12.8 months and docetaxel = 12 months • More grade 3/4 AEs in the docetaxel group Conclusion: Data from this trial confirm that carboplatin is active in BRCA1/2 -mutated advanced breast cancer. Carboplatin is a viable option for treatment of patients with breast cancer with BRCA1/2 mutation. • Significantly improved response to carboplatin in BRCA1/2 patients ORR, objective response rate; PFS, progression-free survival. • ORR 68% vs 33% Tutt A, et al. Nat Med . 2018;(24)5:628-637.

ASCENT: Sacituzumab Govetecan-hziy N = 108 patients • Study design: open- mTNBC Sacituzumab govetecan-hziy • label, basket design, Received ≥2 previous 10 mg/kg IV days 1, 8 every 21 days phase 1/2 anticancer therapies for metastatic disease • ORR (primary end point) = 33.3% (3 complete response; 33 partial response) • Median DOR = 7.7 months • Clinical benefit rate = 45.4% FDA approved for treatment of • PFS = 5.5 months patients with metastatic TNBC who have received ≥ 2 prior • OS = 13 months therapies for metastatic disease. DOR, duration of response. Bardia A, et al. N Eng J Med. 2019;380:741-751.
Key Points: Role of Chemotherapy • Generally chemotherapy-sensitive • Single-agent versus combination chemotherapy • Patients who require rapid response may benefit from combination therapy despite added toxicity • Continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity • Most patients will receive multiple lines of systemic therapy as palliation Azim HA, et al.
