Abstract 168P
Background
The GENEVIEVE study (NCT01779479) compared the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in patients with operable triple-negative (TNBC) or luminal B/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer (BC) treated with either cabazitaxel or weekly paclitaxel. Primary analyses showed no short-term effect of cabazitaxel in TNBC or luminal B/HER2- primary BC, while there seemed to be no differences in drug exposure and patient compliance between the two arms (Kümmel et al. Eur J Cancer 2017). Here, we report long-term survival data.
Methods
GENEVIEVE randomised patients with cT2-3 any cN or cT1, cN+/pNSLN+ and centrally confirmed TNBC or luminal B/HER2-negative BC to receive either cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 q3w for 4 cycles or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly for 12 weeks. All patients had the opportunity to receive anthracycline-containing chemotherapy before (if core biopsy detects invasive tumour residuals after end of study treatment) or after surgery. Primary endpoint was pCR (ypT0/is ypN0/+) rate. Secondary time-to-event endpoints included invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) and overall survival (OS). The time-to-event endpoints analysis is planned with mature follow-up of at least 5 years after a follow-up completeness of at least 70%.
Results
Between April 2013 and June 2015, 333 patients were randomised and started treatment with 74.7% and 83.2% of patients completing treatment in the cabazitaxel and paclitaxel arms, respectively. Baseline characteristics were well balanced. Patients in cabazitaxel arm had a significantly lower pCR rate compared to the paclitaxel arm (1.2% vs 10.8%; p=0.001). A total of 42 (25.3%) patients in the cabazitaxel arm and 17 (10.2%) in the paclitaxel arm had at least one serious adverse event (p<0.001). Follow-up is still ongoing. The minimum follow-up completeness of 70% will be reached July 2022 with an expected median follow-up of 91 months.
Conclusions
Results on the time-to-event endpoints will be presented at the meeting.
