trastuzumab
  • Lapatinib inhibits growth of breast cancer cell
    lines that acquire resistance to a
    therapeutically relevant dose of trastuzumab
  • Lapatinib in combination with trastuzumab is
    synergistic in HER2 breast cancer cell lines

Nahta, et al. Nat Clin Pract 2006 3(5)269-80

Trastuzumab Resistance ECD/ p95HER2
  • p95HER2 is a truncated HER2 receptor that lacks
    the external domain (binding site for trastuzumab
  • Truncated receptor demonstrates increased kinase
    activity and transforming potential
  • Approximately 25 of HER2 breast cancers express
    p95HER2,
  • 9 of breast cancers high levels of p95HER2 - it
    predicts worse outcome

Lapatinib Inhibits p95HER2 Phosphorylation

pp185ErbB2 pp95ErbB2
WB a phospho-ErbB2 (Y1248)
  • Lapatinib may inhibit growth of tumors that
    highly express p95HER2
  • An assay in paraffin is available in addition to
    western or frozen tissue testing
  • Testing of p95HER2 in tumor samples from patients
    treated with lapatinib to confirm the preclinical
    data is underway
  • May be most important for patients refractory to
    trastuzumab

The clinical relevance of this finding is unknown

Lapatinib in Patients with CNS Metastasis
39
Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis
  • Background
  • Approximately 35 of HER2 breast cancer patients
    develop CNS metastases
  • Increase in CNS as first site of relapse in
    adjuvant trials of trastuzumab
  • In vitro, lapatinib inhibited the phosphorylation
    of EGFR, HER2, and downstream signaling proteins
    cell proliferation and migration in
    brain-seeking breast cancer cells (both with and
    without HER2 overexpression)

Lapatinib for Brain Metastases In vivo evidence
Mouse brain

EGFP labeled 321BR-HER2 (1.75 x 105 cells)
  • Lapatinib, at 30-100 mg/kg,
  • prevented the outgrowth of HER2 brain
    metastases by 50.
  • These data suggest that lapatinib may prevent
    brain relapse in adjuvant clinical trials.
  • A complex set of signaling pathways is altered
    by lapatinib in vitro.

ALTTO Study Updates
44
Summary of Revisions to ALTTO Study Design
  • Amendment 03 Issued on 13-February-2009 to
    clarify the need for balance between the 2 study
    designs
  • Timing of taxane chemotherapy (Design 1 vs.
    Design 2) is a stratification variable. Closing
    of Design 1 required to allow for statistically
    meaningful analysis of outcome for Design 2
  • Amendment 04
  • Allow for use of docetaxel as a concurrent
    chemotherapy (Design 2)
  • Inclusion of additional planned interim
    analysis at 400, 700 and 1000 DFS events
  • Final analysis to occur after 1388 DFS events
  • Future Amendment allow for docetaxel in
    combination with carboplatin in Design 2
  • Following completion of NCCTG phase II safety
    study of docetaxel and carboplatin in combination
    with trastuzumab and lapatinib (N083E)

Cardiac Safety Profile of Lapatinib Data
Summary of 3689 Patients
  • 1.6 (60/3689) patients experienced cardiac event
  • Only 0.2 (7/3689) patients were symptomatic
  • In the 274 patients who received lapatinib for at
    least 6 months, no cumulative or dose related
    toxicity was observed
  • No cardiac death attributed to lapatinib
  • Overall
  • Rarely symptomatic and generally reversible
  • Incidence lower than the incidence of
    asymptomatic LVEF decreases observed in the
    general population or those treated in
    trastuzumab studies

57
Treatment Related Fatigue
  • Reported as one of the most problematic side
    effects related to many therapies, and the
    disease itself
  • Diminishing quality of life/ability to manage
    self-care
  • Symptoms may include
  • Lethargy weakness or total lack of energy,
    malaise
  • Sleeplessness
  • Anxiety
  • Difficulty with concentration, thinking clearly,
    making decisions

58
Treatment Related Fatigue
  • Interventions that help alleviate fatigue
  • Regular exercise (Evidence Based)
  • Correct known causes of fatigue
  • Anemia, nutritional deficits, sleep disorders
  • Anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications
  • Other lifestyle modifications
  • Attention-restoring activities
  • Psychological counseling, physical therapy
  • Medications to relieve pain experienced with
    myalgia/arthralgia

59
Self Care Thoughts
  • Timely reporting is essential
  • Adverse events should be manageable
  • Utilize your Oncology Team to help determine
    reportable issues
  • Accurate diarrhea reporting
  • Dose modification and treatment interruption
    should be made per protocol
  • Always use good medical judgment but
    communicate with study team
  • Utilize supportive care strategies
  • Carefully discuss long term adherence issues
