Abstract 3MO
Background
In monarchE (NCT03155997), 2 years of adjuvant abemaciclib + endocrine therapy (ET) resulted in sustained improvement in invasive disease-free survival (IDFS; HR=0.680, 7.6% absolute benefit at 5 years) in patients (pts) with HR+, HER2-, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer (EBC). Considering multiple adjuvant options are available for EBC pts with germline BRCA1/2 mutations, we are reporting the exploratory results of pathogenic germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCA1/2) as well as uncommon (incidence between ≥3% and <9%) somatic alterations from monarchE.
Methods
The whole exome sequencing (WES) biomarker sub-cohort (n=1173, 21% of ITT population) included a stratified random sample of pts from the ITT population plus all pts with IDFS events at the primary outcome data cut. Blood and tissue samples were evaluated for gBRCA1/2 and uncommon oncogenic alterations.
Results
At 54 months median follow up, 992 IDFS events (17.6%) were observed in the ITT population (n=5637) and 292 IDFS events (24.9%) were observed in the WES cohort (n=1173; abemaciclib+ET n=580; ET n=593). In the WES cohort, 3.5% (n=41, abemaciclib+ET n=20; ET n=21) had a gBRCA1/2 (BRCA1 n=6, BRCA2 n=35). In pts with gBRCA1/2, 1 (5%) experienced an IDFS event in the abemaciclib+ET arm, compared to 9 (42.8%) in the ET arm. Uncommon somatic alterations were detected in the following genes: CCNE2 (8.3%), PTEN (8.1%), AKT1 (6.0%), RB1 (5.6%), NF1 (5.5%), and BRCA2 (4.2%) and the IDFS event rates for pts with these alterations are reported in the table.

Conclusions
In these exploratory analyses from an IDFS-event-enriched cohort of monarchE, fewer IDFS events occurred in pts with germline BRCA1/2 mutations receiving adjuvant abemaciclib + ET compared to ET alone; however, small pt numbers limit the evaluation of statistical significance for both gBRCA1/2 and uncommon somatic alterations.
