Abstract 1846
Background
CLEOPATRA study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of pertuzumab (P) + trastuzumab (T) + docetaxel (D) but efficacy results of Japanese subgroup weren’t consistent with the whole study results. A phase IV, multicenter, prospective, COMACHI study was conducted in Japan to re-confirm the efficacy and safety of P+T+D demonstrated in the CLEOPATRA study.
Methods
Patients (pts) with HER2-positive breast cancer who were diagnosed as Stage IV or recurred more than a year after (neo)adjuvant taxane chemotherapy completion were enrolled. Pts were administered study drugs intravenously every 3 weeks. Discontinuation of D was allowed after cycle 6. After discontinuation of D, pts were given maintenance by T+P, however not allowed to receive hormonal therapy for HR positive pts. We defined PFS as the primary endpoint. To demonstrate a median PFS of 12.4 months (mos) or more, which was observed in the placebo arm in the CLEOPATRA study.
Results
From November 2013 to September 2015, 132 pts were enrolled and all pts were treated with T+P at least once. The median age was 56.5 years old and 102 pts (77.3%) had not received prior HER2 therapy. Median cycles of T and P were both 24.0 (range 2.0-71.0) and that of D was 6.0 (range 0.0-65.0). Pts characteristics and subgroup analysis results are shown in the Table below.Table:

STAGE IV | 71 ( 53.8%) | 42 (59.2%) | 18.9 (14.3, 33.7) |
Median PFS was 22.8 mos [95% CI, 16.9-34.8], and thereby a median PFS of 12.4 mos or more was confirmed. The incidence of typical Grade 3/4 adverse events were febrile neutropenia (31.1%), neutropenia (24.2%), leukopenia (10.6%), and diarrhea (4.5%), and these findings are consistent with the CLEOPATRA study except for febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia lead to only one case of treatment discontinuation and it was manageable.
Conclusions
The efficacy and safety of P+T+D in Japanese pts were consistent with those of the CLEOPATRA study and we confirmed this treatment as a standard care at 1st line therapy for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
