T-DM1 Toxicity Management in Breast Cancer
April 5th 2021Data from the pivotal phase 3 KATHERINE has led to the addition of ado-trastuzumab emtansine to the HER2-positive breast cancer treatment arsenal, but the toxicities associated with the approach must be appropriately managed so that patients can continue to receive it.
FDA Defers Decision on Pembrolizumab for TNBC: Here's Why
March 30th 2021Ahead of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date for the application, the regulatory agency’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted 10 to 0 that a decision be deferred until further findings from KEYNOTE-522 trial become available.
Palbociclib/Letrozole Improves Survival in HR+ Metastatic Breast Cancer
March 26th 2021Palbociclib in combination with endocrine therapy resulted in improved survival outcomes in a real-world population of patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, metastatic breast cancer vs letrozole alone in the first-line setting.
Immunotherapy and ADCs Make Headway in Metastatic TNBC
March 22nd 2021Anthracyclines and taxanes remain a backbone in the early-stage setting of triple-negative breast cancer as further evaluations of immunotherapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings needs to be conducted—efforts that will continue to shape the treatment paradigm.
Study Explores Actionable Pathologic Variants in Caribbean Women With Breast or Ovarian Cancer
March 11th 2021One in 7 Caribbean-born individuals with either breast or ovarian cancer had hereditary disease with an actionable pathogenic variant, which provides the opportunity for the utilization of targeted therapeutics and precise prevention strategies.
PARP Inhibitors Are a Mainstay in Metastatic Breast Cancer
March 8th 2021Olaparib and talazoparib didn't show statistically significant improvements in overall survival compared with chemotherapy in certain patients with metastatic breast cancer. However, the results are unlikely to affect the drugs’ utility in practice, given that both agents continue to show favorable tolerability and disease control.
Personalized Approach May Boost AI Adherence
January 6th 2021Twice-weekly text message reminders did not improve adherence to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for postmenopausal patients with early-stage breast cancer; therefore, increasing the odds of long-term adherence for this population will require more personalized approaches, explained Julie Gralow, MD.
ADC ARX788 Gets Fast Track Status for HER2+ Metastatic Breast Cancer
January 6th 2021The FDA has granted a fast track designation to the investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ARX788 for use as a monotherapy in the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have previously received 1 or more HER2-targeted regimens in the metastatic setting.
HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Biomarkers: The Search Continues
January 5th 2021Patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer should be treated with neoadjuvant therapy rather than surgery to determine how they will respond to ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1; Kadcyla)in the adjuvant setting, according to Ian E. Krop, MD, PhD, who added that although residual disease may serve as a potential predictive biomarker for response to this approach, the hunt for effective molecular biomarkers continues.
FDA Approves Margetuximab-cmkb Plus Chemo in Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer
December 17th 2020The FDA has approved margetuximab-cmkb (Margenza) plus chemotherapy for use in adult patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have previously received 2 or more anti-HER2 regimens, at least one of which was for metastatic disease.
Managing GI AEs in Metastatic Breast Cancer
December 15th 2020Gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs) that occurred in patients with metastatic breast cancer who were treated with oral paclitaxel and encequidar can be managed by the use of 5- HT3 inhibitors and early intervention with loperamide, according to research presented at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
Asian Patients With HR+, HER2- Breast Cancer Have Higher Recurrence Risk
November 23rd 2020Patients from Asian countries with hormone receptor (HR)–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer may have a higher risk of disease recurrence than those from non-Asian countries, suggesting that this population may benefit from additional adjuvant treatment with abemaciclib (Verzenio).
FDA Approves Pembrolizumab Plus Chemo for TNBC
November 14th 2020The FDA granted an accelerated approval to pembrolizumab (Keytruda) plus chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with locally recurrent, unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with PD-L1 expression is CPS ≥10, according to the agency.
