Every year the Breast Committee of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie (German Gynecological Oncology Group, AGO), a group of gynecological oncologists specialized in breast cancer and interdisciplinary members specialized in pathology, radiologic diagnostics, medical oncology, and radiation oncology, prepares and updates evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with early and metastatic breast cancer. Every update is performed according to a documented rule-fixed algorithm, by thoroughly reviewing and scoring the recent publications for their scientific validity and clinical relevance. This current publication presents the 2019 update on the recommendations for metastatic breast cancer.

The oral poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib is approved for the treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and a germline breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutation who have been treated with chemotherapy. This case report describes a 63-year-old postmenopausal woman with somatic BRCA2-mutated mBC who responded to olaparib treatment following multiple prior lines of therapy. The patient presented in January 2012 with locally advanced, hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2− BC which, despite initial response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, recurred as bone disease in February 2014, and subsequently skin (June 2016) and liver (October 2016) metastases. A comprehensive 592-gene next-generation sequencing panel (Caris Life Sciences), performed on a skin biopsy, detected a pathogenic frameshift mutation in BRCA2 (H3154fs, c.9460delC), which was not identified in a 28-gene hereditary cancer germline analysis (Myriad Genetics, Inc.), and was therefore considered to be a somatic mutation. In January 2017, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis (Guardant Health, Inc.) confirmed the BRCA2 H3154fs mutation in plasma. After several lines of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, deriving clinical benefit from eribulin and capecitabine, the disease progressed by October 2017, and olaparib (300 mg orally twice daily) was initiated in January 2018. By April 2018, the liver lesions had shrunk by 80% and a >90% response in multiple skin lesions was noted. Clinical response was maintained for 8 months, followed by progression in the skin in September 2018. Biopsy of recurrent lesions revealed a novel BRCA2 mutation, E3152del (c.9455_9457delAGG), predicted to restore the open reading frame and presumably the mechanism of resistance to olaparib. Further likely resistance mutations were noted in subsequent cfDNA analyses. This case demonstrated a clinical response with olaparib as a later-line therapy for HR+, HER2− mBC with a somatic BRCA2 mutation.

Purpose In this study, two doses of temsirolimus (CCI-779), a novel inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin, were evaluated for efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had been heavily pretreated. Patients and Methods Patients (n = 109) were randomly assigned to receive 75 or 250 mg of temsirolimus weekly as a 30-minute intravenous infusion. Patients were evaluated for tumor response, time to tumor progression, adverse events, and pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus. Results Temsirolimus produced an objective response rate of 9.2% (10 partial responses) in the intent-to-treat population. Median time to tumor progression was 12.0 weeks. Efficacy was similar for both dose levels but toxicity was more common with the higher dose level, especially grade 3 or 4 depression (10% of patients at the 250-mg dose level, 0% at the 75-mg dose level). The most common temsirolimus-related adverse events of all grades were mucositis (70%), maculopapular rash (51%), and nausea (43%). The most common, clinically important grade 3 or 4 adverse events were mucositis (9%), leukopenia (7%), hyperglycemia (7%), somnolence (6%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and depression (5%). Conclusion In heavily pretreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, 75 and 250 mg temsirolimus showed antitumor activity and 75 mg temsirolimus showed a generally tolerable safety profile.
