527 Background: The combined analysis of the Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial (SOFT) and Tamoxifen and Exemestane Trial (TEXT) trials have shown significant survival benefit of adding ovarian function suppression (OFS) with GnRH agonists (GnRHa) to aromatase inhibitors (AI) versus tamoxifen in high-risk premenopausal patients (pts) with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC). In both studies, GnRHa was administered every 4 weeks. However, the efficacy of 3-monthly GnRHa plus AI has not been well studied. We conducted a retrospective study designed to assess the efficacy of OFS with 3-montlhy compared with monthly goserelin, associated with AI, in premenopausal pts with ER-positive BC. Methods: Medical records of premenopausal pts with ER-positive BC who received OFS with 10.8mg 3-montlhy goserelin plus AI or 3.6mg monthly goserelin plus AI, between June/2013 and January/2023 were reviewed. Patient characteristics, such as age, body mass index (BMI) and prior chemotherapy were analyzed. Estradiol (E2) levels were measured by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Pts with at least one E2 level above 2.72 pg/ml were considered to have ineffective OFS. Analysis of E2 measurements was divided into periods: < 3, 3 to 6, 6 to 9, 9 to 12, 12 to 18, 18 to 24 and > 24 months. E2 levels greater than 2.72 pg/ml were evaluated at each timepoint. Results: A total of 88 pts were included. 27 (30.7%) received monthly goserelin and 61 (69.3%) 3-monthly goserelin. Patient characteristics were well balanced between the groups. Relevant demographic data are shown in table. For E2 analysis, 20 (22.7%) pts had at least one measurement greater than 2.72 pg/ml, 11 (40.7%) in the monthly group and 9 (14.8%) in the 3-monthly group (p = 0.007). The percentages of E2 measurements ≥ 2.72 pg/ml, in each time period, were 0%, 40%, 12.5%, 16.7%, 33.3%, 50% and 50% in monthly group versus 8%, 4.2%, 10%, 14.3%, 4.8%, 8.3% and 5.6%, in 3-monthly group, respectively. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that more pts who underwent 3-monthly goserelin had E2 levels below the defined threshold of 2.72 pg/ml compared with monthly goserelin, when associated with AI, with statistical significance. These findings suggest that 3-monthly goserelin may result in better efficacy in OFS when comparing with monthly and provide greater convenience for pts. [Table: see text]
e13034 Background: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are widely used in the treatment of breast cancer (BC). In our service, we observed that a significant number of patients (pts) with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treated with T-DM1 had long-lasting response and survival rates, even after discontinuing T-DM1 due to limiting toxicity. However, data are scarce regarding its long-term benefit. We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the long-term efficacy of T-DM1 in the treatment of HER2-positive MBC. Methods: Medical records of pts with HER2-positive MBC treated with T-DM1 between September 2013 and January 2023 were reviewed. We analyzed data in the overall population and in the subgroup of pts who discontinued T-DM1 due to only limiting toxicity and did not have disease progression or death for at least 12 months, without receiving other subsequent lines of treatment. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from the start of the treatment with T-DM1 to disease progression or death for the overall population, and from the time of T-DM1 discontinuation to disease progression or death for the aforementioned subgroup. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and toxicity. Results: A total of 73 pts were included. In the overall population, ORR was 82.6%, median PFS was 12.7 months (CI95% 8-16) and median OS was 53.9 months (CI95% 34-73). 10 (13.6%) pts had T-DM1 discontinued due to only limiting toxicity and had no disease progression or death for at least 12 months. In this specific subgroup, 2 pts received T-DM1 as first line, 6 pts as second line, and 2 as third or more lines. At the start of T-DM1, 5 pts had visceral metastasis (3 liver, 2 lung), and 2 had only leptomeningeal involvement. Median age was 57 years (IQR 49-70) and median T-DM1 duration was 30 months (IQR 12-45). At the time of T-DM1 discontinuation, 9 pts presented complete response (CR) and 1 presented partial response (PR). 5 pts maintained CR, with no evidence of disease progression or death throughout the analyzed period. The PFS of these 5 pts, from the time of T-DM1 discontinuation to the last evaluation, was 35.6, 37.9, 40.5, 42.7 and 68.5 months. In the entire subgroup, median PFS was 22.5 months, 5-year OS was 66.7% and median OS was not reached. The adverse events that led to the T-DM1 discontinuation were thrombocytopenia (10%), nausea, vomiting and fatigue (10%), pneumonitis (20%), hepatic pseudocirrhosis (20%) and peripheral neuropathy (40%). Conclusions: Our experience suggests that pts with HER2-positive MBC who had T-DM1 discontinued due to limiting toxicity may derive long-term benefit. Further prospective studies are warranted to evaluate our findings, also including other ADC.
