2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

Meredith M. Regan, ScD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses findings that point to the potential benefits of using adjuvant exemestane plus ovarian function suppression (OFS) to treat premenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive early breast cancer. This conclusion came after 13 years of median follow-up on the TEXT and SOFT trials, during which this regimen was compared with tamoxifen and OFS (Abstract GS2-05).

Charles Coombes, MD, PhD, of Imperial College, London, discusses study results on samuraciclib, a first-in-class, oral, selective inhibitor of CDK7, in combination with fulvestrant in patients with advanced hormone receptor–positive HER2-negative breast cancer. The combination of agents has demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity for patients who have progressed on their prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment (Abstract GS3-10).

François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, of the Institut Curie, discusses phase III findings of the PADA-1 study, which showed that optimizing endocrine therapy after detecting the ESR1 mutation in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer may double their median progression-free survival (Abstract GS3-05).

Komal Jhaveri, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses the latest updates from the SUMMIT trial, which explored the combinations of neratinib/fulvestrant/trastuzumab and neratinib plus trastuzumab, as well as fulvestrant alone. The combination regimens appeared to benefit patients with hormone–receptor positive, HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer who have had prior exposure to CDK4/6 inhibitors, and those with HER2-mutated triple-negative disease (Abstract GS4-10).

Michael Gnant, MD, of the Medical University of Vienna, discusses phase III findings from the PALLAS study, which showed that adding 2 years of palbociclib to ongoing adjuvant endocrine therapy did not improve survival for patients with stage II to III hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer. Dr. Gnant also talks about whether any correlative studies hint at patient subgroups that this regimen may benefit (Abstract GS1-07) .
