the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Figure 7 Effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus with fulvestrant in a MCF7-Y537SKO background A-B Combination

therapies of fulvestrant (Ful) with either palbociclib (Palbo) or everolimus (Eve) were performed in nude mice All treatments were dosed

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Investigational drugs not approved in HER2+ disease

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

the loss of an ER allele the MCF7-Y537SKO cell line

has lower ER expression relative to the parental MCF7

cell line (Figure S6A) Additionally when implanted in

mice supplemented with estrogen pellets we observed

continuous tumor growth of MCF7-Y537SKO cells in

vivo after removing the estrogen pellets (Figure S6B)

which is similar to previous overexpression studies [7]

We then assessed the effica cy of palbociclib or everolimus

in combination with fulvestrant Unlike CTC-174 no

single agent treatments exhibited in tumor regressions

(TGI of 52 50 and 62 for fulvestrant everolimus

and palbociclib respectively) (Figure 7A-7B) The

combination of palbociclib and fulvestrant resulted in a

greater tumor growth inhibition (5 regression) than

either agent alone similar to previous reports in a PDX

model with an ER-Y537S mutation [39] The combination

of everolimus and fulvestrant resulted in a 76 TGI

suggesting the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus

is additive in this model (Figure 7B) Together these data

provide a second ER mutant model demonstrating that

the addition of fulvestrant to palbociclib and everolimus

treatments will provide benefit in ER mutant breast

cancers

dIsc ussIo n

ER+ breast cancers bearing activating ER mutations

represent a new segment of endocrine resistant disease

with an unmet therapeutic need To investigate potential

strategies to target these tumors we developed an ER+

breast cancer CTX model from circulating tumor cells

of a patient that harbors a D538G ER mutation CTC-

174 This mutation promotes estrogen independent ER

activity and have been reported in patients who have

acquired endocrine resistance [7 9 10 40] Indeed

our model recapitulates endocrine therapy resistant

disease as shown by estrogen independent growth and

resistance to tamoxifen Using this model as well as in

vitro approaches we demonstrated that fulvestrant targets

the mutant ER protein for degradation but only provides

modest growth inhibition in vivo suggesting additional

pathways may promote resistance to endocrine therapy

Clinically combinatorial strategies for AI refractory

ER+ breast cancer have yielded encouraging results

The BOLERO-2 and PALOMA-1 trials both achieved

increased progression free survival by combining an

aromatase inhibitor with everolimus or palbociclib

respectively [16 22] Given that activating ER mutations

are acquired most frequently in patients who have

previously received an aromatase inhibitor [40] the

combination of everolimus or palbociclib with a SERD

such as fulvestrant may provide superior effica cy in these

patients by lowering ER expression and could potentially

increase overall survival [18] Recently the PALOMA-3

trial evaluating palbociclib combined with fulvestrant

demonstrated longer progression free survival compared

to fulvestrant alone [41] Future follow-up with these

patients may ultimately determine if this combination

increases overall survival in patients with ER mutations

In support of this hypothesis we demonstrate that our ER

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Summary

bull Development of CDK46 inhibitors was built upon a strong basis of investigation in

cell cycle control---yeast to man

bull The use of CDK46 inhibitors in HR+HER2- breast cancer followed off preclinical

data indicating ldquoexceptional sensitivityrdquo in this form of disease

bull Clinical activity related to positive interaction between CDK46 inhibition and

endocrine therapy

bull Predictive biomarkers are still in ldquoearly developmentrdquo but interrogation of RB-

pathway could be considered to define non-responders

bull Knowledge of progressed disease will be important to delineate subsequent

treatments and combination approaches to enhance durability of response

bull Multiple ongoing clinical studies are interrogating CDK46 inhibitors beyond

HR+HER2- breast cancer with endocrine therapies

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

CDK46 inhibitors in breast cancer

bull Resistance to endocrine therapy

presents a major clinical challenge

bull The growth of HR+ breast cancer is

dependent on Cyclin D1 a direct

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

PALOMA-2 Subgroup analysis of PFS by biomarker

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

PALOMA-2 Subgroup analysis of PFS by biomarker

Finn RS et al Ann Oncol 201627(Suppl 6) (Abstract LBA15)

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

PALOMA-2 Subgroup analysis of PFS by biomarker

Finn RS et al Ann Oncol 201627(Suppl 6) (Abstract LBA15)

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

PALOMA-2 Subgroup analysis of PFS by biomarker

Finn RS et al Ann Oncol 201627(Suppl 6) (Abstract LBA15)

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

PALOMA-2 Subgroup analysis of PFS by biomarker

bull These exploratory analyses did not identify a subgroup of ER+ patients that did not benefit from the

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

bull Ki-67 by IHC did not further stratify patients

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

addition of palbociclib to letrozole While the PFS of the control group varied with several of these

markers palbociclib consistently improved PFS

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

ULTIMATE TRIAL DESIGN

NCT02997995 PI Fabrice ANDRE

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results

Take-home messages

bull HR+ is biologically heterogeneous at the DNA RNA and protein level further

subclassifications are needed

bull At the RNA level 4 molecular subtypes (LumA LumB HER2-E and Basal-like) can be

identified within HR+HER2-negative disease

bull Targeting the cell-cycle in luminal disease is a promising strategy

ndash CDK46 inhibition seems to be a maintenance therapy like endocrine therapy

ndash CDK46 inhibition monotherapy might be a strategy to pursue in some settings

ndash CDK46 inhibition might be a promising treatment strategy within HR+HER2+ disease (luminal-type)

ndash Currently no molecular biomarkers have been validated to predict CDK46 inhibition survival benefit

bull At the DNA level at least 3 somatic (PIK3CA ESR1 and ERBB2) mutations are promising

bull Targeting acetylation of histones with HDAC inhibitors is also a promising treatment

strategy in combination with endocrine therapy A Phase III trial is ongoing

bull At the microenvironment level immune infiltration (eg CD8 TILs) is infrequent and anti-

PD1PDL1 monotherapy is showing weak results
