Correlation of molecular alterations with efficacy of everolimus in hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer: Results from BOLERO-2.

Abstract:

LBA509 Background: Everolimus (EVE) plus exemestane (EXE) more than doubled progression-free survival (PFS) while maintaining quality of life vs EXE alone in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (BOLERO-2 phase III; NCT00863655). PFS benefit was seen in all clinically defined subgroups. We evaluated genetic variations of a broad panel of cancer-related genes and explored their correlations with EVE benefit. Methods: Exon sequence and gene copy number variations were analyzed in 182 cancer-related genes by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Correlations with PFS were evaluated using both univariate and multivariate Cox models. Results: NGS data (>250x coverage) were successfully generated from archival tumor specimens from 227 patients (NGS population, 157 and 70 in EVE+EXE and EXE arms, respectively …
