Abstract 406P
Background
In ER+/HER2- mBC, different genomic mechanisms yield primary and secondary resistance to ET. Data are scarce on different concurrent genomic alterations that may result in ET resistance among BRCA1/2 and PALB2 altered (ALT) mBC.
Methods
We retrospectively included patients with ET-resistant ER+/HER2- mBC referred to the European Institute of Oncology Molecular Tumor Board (MTB). For a comparative cohort, clinical and genomic data of pre-treated ER+/HER2- mBC was retrieved from the MSK MetTropism study. Only oncogenic genomic alterations were included.8 Results.
Results
Seventeen patients out of 61 (28%) with ER+/HER2- mBC exhibited a BRCA1/2ALT (BRCA2, n=11; BRCA1, n=3) and PALB2ALT (n=3) (Group A), while Group B included the remaining 44 patients with wild-type genes. BRCA1/2ALT and PALB2ALT consisted of 10 small indels, 6 single nucleotide variants (SNV), and 1 homozygous deletion. Compared to Group B, Group A displayed a lower occurrence of alterations in PIK3CA (5.8% vs. 47.7%, P=0.002), TP53 (5.8% vs. 31.8%, P=0.04), and in the CCND1-FGF19-FGF3 amplicon (P=0.001), along with a lower occurrence of PI3K-AKT-mTOR (15.8% vs. 47.8%, P<0.01) and TP53 (7.6% vs. 42.9%, P<0.01) alterations at the pathway level. In the MSK dataset (n=679), Group A included 27 cases (BRCA2, n=16; BRCA1, n=8; PALB2, n=3), showing a lower occurrence of ESR1ALT (7.4% vs. 21.8%, P=0.09). At the pathway level, Group A displayed a lower frequency of TP53 (12.7% vs. 24.2%, P <0.001), MAPK (0.7% vs. 21.3%, P<0.001), PI3K-AKT-mTOR (17.3% vs. 22.0%, P=0.13) alterations, while showing a higher occurrence of cell-cycleALT (27.8% vs. 23.5%, P=0.03). In the MSK cohort, no gene demonstrated neither mutual exclusivity nor co-occurrence with BRCA1ALT, BRCA2ALT, and PALB2ALT.
Conclusions
Despite the limited sample size, our study suggests that BRCA1/2ALT and PALB2ALT -driven ER+/HER2- mBC generally exhibit a lower occurrence of classic alterations in pathways involved in primary and secondary ET resistance, requiring further investigation to detect mechanisms driving ET resistance among this subgroup of mBC to achieve treatment personalization, thus better long-term outcomes further.
