Abstract 7P

Background

HER2DX ERBB2 mRNA score captures the dynamic range of ERBB2 expression in both HER2-negative and HER2+ breast cancer (BC). In a previous study (Prat et al. EBiomedicine 2022), ERBB2 mRNA predicted clinical HER2+ status with high performance in the validation dataset (n=353; AUC=0.96). Here, we evaluated the ability of HER2DX ERBB2 mRNA to predict HER2+, HER2-low, and HER2-0 status.

Methods

Standardized HER2DX was evaluated centrally on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumors from 1,149 samples with HER2+ (n=1,029) vs. HER2-negative status (n=120). We trained a new ERBB2 cutoff (by means of decision trees) to predict HER2-low (n=73) versus HER2-0 (n=47) status, and tested in an independent validation dataset of 110 HER2-negative tumors with known HER2-low (n=60) and HER2-0 (n=50) status. To quantify the diagnostic performance: area under the ROC curve (ROC AUC), global accuracy, positive (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated.

Results

In the HER2+ and HER2-negative dataset (n=1,149), the ROC AUC of ERBB2 mRNA expression to predict HER2+ status was 0.98. The mean ERBB2 expression (in log base 2) in HER2+ and HER2-negative disease was 1.41 and -2.41, respectively (14.1-fold difference). Of note, 0.8% of HER2-negative cases were identified as ERBB2-positive and 9.9% of HER2+ cases were identified as ERBB2 negative. In the HER2-negative training dataset (n=120), the ROC AUC of ERBB2 mRNA expression to predict HER2-low vs. HER2-0 status was 0.80, and a new cutoff was identified with 77.5% accuracy (68.5% PPV and 84.9% NPV). In the independent validation HER2-negative dataset (n=110), the ROC AUC of ERBB2 mRNA expression was 0.77. With the new ERBB2 cutoff, the overall accuracy to predict HER2-low and HER2-0 cases was 65.5% (66.7% PPV and 64.9% NPV). Finally, the mean ERBB2 mRNA expression (in log base 2) in HER2-low and HER2-0 disease was -1.86 and -2.72, respectively (1.8-fold difference).

Conclusions

The standardized HER2DX ERBB2 mRNA score predicts the clinical status of HER2 (positive, low and zero) in BC.
