PERSONALIZED MEDICINE FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS

  • A WORKING DEFINITION: SUFFICIENT

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MOLECULAR FEATURES OF THE TUMOR OR HOST TO MAKE SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC CHOICES WHICH MAXIMIZE EFFECTIVENESS AND MINIMIZE TOXICITY.

IMPLICATIONS

  • IT SEEMS TO ME WE ARE EITHER GOING TO

HAVE TO FIGURE OUT FEASIBLE STRATEGIES TO VALIDATE THESE THERAPIES EARLIER IN THE CLINICAL COURSE, OR,

  • WE MAY NEED TO RETHINK OUR PARADIGMS

AND FOCUS MORE ON THE HOST.

THE EXACT SAME THERAPY WHICH CAN PREVENT BREAST CANCER GIVEN BEFORE DIAGNOSIS AND CURE SOME PATIENTS IN THE ADJUVANT SETTING CURES NO ONE IN THE METASTATIC SETTING. WHY WILL ANY OTHER KIND OF THERAPY BE DIFFERENT ?

ESR1 MUTATIONS

  • Hypothesis

– Prior Endocrine therapy selects for ESR1 variants – These variants:

  • Are still estrogen sensitive
  • But also estrogen independent
  • AIs no longer effective

– Patients with ESR1 variants may respond to high doses of SERMs or SERDs.

Identification of Mutations in ESR1 in Patients with ER+ Metastatic Breast Cancer (and Endometrial Cancers)

Robinson et al, Nature Genetics 2013

  • First identified in 1997 Fuqua in a single patient with metastatic breast cancer

treated with diethylstibesterol (but since then thought to be rare)

  • 6 out of 11 ER+ metastatic breast cancer (all are post- aromatase Rx)
  • Not in ER- breast cancers
  • Not in ER+ tamoxifen only treated patients
  • 4 of 373 endometrial cancers (from TCGA)

ESR1 Mutant Signaling Is Estrogen Independent

HEK-293T human embryonic kidney cells transfected with ESR (WT or Mutant)

Robinson, et al., Nat Genet 2013

slide-55
SLIDE 55

ESR1 activating mutations are not present in primary tumors

  • 134 ER+ samples
  • 58 primary BCs
  • 76 metastatic samples
  • 115 ER- samples
  • 9/76 (12%) samples contained a somatic

mutation in codon 537 or 538

  • None of the primary tumors, treatment

naïve ER+ cancers or ER- tumors harbored the mutation

  • 13 ER+ samples
  • 5/13 patients contained the D538G

mutation in liver mets

  • The mutation was not detected in

the primary tumors prior to endocrine treatment

slide-56
SLIDE 56

ESR1 MUTATIONS

  • Conclusions

–Uncommon in Primary Cancers –Appear to be selected by ET

–Focused in Ligand Binding Domain

  • AA 536-538

– Confer Ligand–independent Signaling – Remain dependent on ER signaling pathway

–Resistance:

  • ?Absolute to E2 depletion (AI)
  • Relative to SERM/SERD

Conclusions

Somatic variants in ESR1 are common (~20%) in advanced metastatic BC. Tumors with these mutation are signaling through the ER pathway Tumors are resistant to endocrine therapies

A FEW CONCLUDING COMMENTS

  • UNQUESTIONABLY THE NOTION THAT THERE

IS ENORMOUS CANCER DIVERSITY IMPLIES THAT THERE MUST BE DIVERSE TREATMENTS.

  • AND IT ALSO IMPLIES THAT IF WE COULD

ONLY MIX AND MATCH THESE CORRECTLY TO OUR PATIENTS WE WOULD ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS.

A FEW CONCLUDING COMMENTS

  • UNQUESTIONABLY THE NOTION THAT THERE IS

ENORMOUS CANCER DIVERSITY IMPLIES THAT THERE MUST BE DIVERSE TREATMENTS.

  • HOWEVER, GIVEN THE REMARKABLE NUMBER OF

POTENTIALLY CONTRIBUTORY MUTATIONS AND THE [RELATIVELY] INFREQUENT NUMBER OF AGENTS TO TARGET THESE MUTATIONS AND GIVEN THE LACK OF DURABLE SUCCESS WHEN THOSE AVAILABLE AGENTS ARE USED [AT LEAST IN THE ADVANCED DISEASE SETTING] WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A VERY LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE ‘’PERSONALIZED MEDICINE’’ IS THE REALITY WE WOULD ALL HOPE IT TO BE…..
