- Background: The purpose was to investigate adjuvant marrow-supportive high-dose chemotherapy compared with an equitoxicity-tailored comparator arm. Patients and methods: Five hundred and twenty-five women below theage of 60 years with operated high-risk primary breast cancer were randomised to nine cycles of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor supported and individually tailored FEC (5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide), (n = 251) or standard FEC followed by marrow-supported high-dose therapy with CTCb (cyclophosphamide, thiotepa, carboplatin) therapy (n = 274), followed by locoregional radiotherapy and tamoxifen for 5 years. Results: There were 104 breast cancer relapses in the tailored FEC group versus 139 in the CTCb group (double triangular method by Whitehead, P = 0.046), with a median follow-up of all included patients of 60.8 months. The event-free survival demonstrated 121 and 150 events in the tailored FEC- and CTCb group, respectively [P = 0.074, hazard ratio (HR) 0.804, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.633-1.022]. Ten patients in the tailored FEC regimen developed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)/myelodysplasia (MDS). One hundred deaths occurred in the tailored FEC group and 121 in the CTCb group (P = 0.287, HR 0.866, 95% CI 0.665-1.129). Conclusion: The update of this study shows an improved outcome linked to the tailored FEC treatment in relation to breast cancer relapse, but also an increased incidence of AML/MDS. © 2007 Oxford University Press.

- Background: Neoadjuvant treatment with Trastuzumab-emtansine was associated with similar rates of pathological complete remission (pCR) as standard therapy withd ocetaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab in the PREDIX HER2 trial. Here, results of event-free survival (EFS), and pCR rates in key clinical-pathological subgroups and biomarkers including the abundance of stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are presented.Methods: PREDIX HER2 is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, phase 2 study involving 9 Swedish sites. Patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, verified by ISH, T>20 mm and/or verified lymph node metastases were randomized to six three-weekly courses of either docetaxel, trastuzumab SC and pertuzumab (group A), or trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1, group B). Switch of treatment to the opposite arm was allowed in case of lack of response or severe toxicity. Radiological evaluation included 18F-FDG PET/CT. Patients in both groups received adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. TILs were evaluated using standard methodology, median 10%.Results: In total 197 pts. were evaluable, 99 in group A, and 98 in group B. pCR (ypT0/is ypN0) was achieved in 90 pts, 45.7%, with no significant difference between the two treatment groups. pCR rates were lower in the group of patients with hormone receptor (HR)epositive compared with HR-negative tumors but similar in both treatment groups. pCR rates did not differ between the two treatments in subgroups defined by age, menopausal status, tumor grade, T size, node status, HR-status, HER2 status and Ki67. Progressive disease was observed in 3 pts. (3%) during treatment with T-DM1, none in group A. After a median follow-up of 2.4 years 13 EFS events occurred, with no significant differences between the treatment groups. The presence of 10% TILs predicted pCR significantly (p¼0.009), similar in both treatment groups. We also found that a decrease of SUVmax by more than 80% was highly predictive of pCR. HRQoL was significantly better in pts. receiving T-DM1.Conclusions: Our data suggest that neoadjuvant T-DM1 may be as effective as standard neoadjuvant treatment in all clinical subgroups evaluated. Both TILs and PET/CT showed potential to predict pCR.Clinical trial identification: NCT02568839.

- PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-supported chemotherapy on normal red bone marrow MR imaging in breast cancer patients with focal bone metastases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifteen breast cancer patients who were examined before and after chemotherapy with T1-weighted-SE and long echo-time inversion-recovery turbo-spin-echo (long TE IR-TSE) sequences in the thoracolumbar spine and pelvis were retrospectively studied. Nine of them received G-CSF therapy after the administration of each chemotherapy course. Of these 9 patients, the MR follow-ups were performed during G-CSF in 4 patients and after G-CSF therapy in 5 patients. Six patients did not receive G-CSF. Signal intensity (SI) changes in normal bone marrow were evaluated visually in all patients and quantitatively in 13 patients. RESULTS: In all 4 patients investigated during G-CSF therapy a diffuse, homogeneous SI increase on long TE IR-TSE was observed visually and quantitatively in initially normal bone marrow. This change obscured some focal lesions in 2 patients. No such SI change was visible after G-CSF therapy (p = 0.008) or in patients not receiving G-CSF. On T1-weighted images an SI decrease was found both during and after G-CSF therapy, but an increase occurred in patients not receiving G-CSF. CONCLUSION: G-CSF-supported chemotherapy can induce diffuse SI changes in normal red bone marrow on MR imaging. On long TE IR-TSE, the changes are visible during G-CSF treatment and can lead to misinterpretations in the response evaluation of bone metastases to therapy.

- Study aim: Retrospective studies have demonstrated a worse outcome in breast cancer patients not developing leukopenia during adjuvant chemotherapy. The SBG 2000-1 is the first randomised trial designed to compare individually dosed chemotherapy without G-CSF support based on grade of toxicity to standard-dosed chemotherapy based on body surface area (BSA). Methods: Patients with early breast cancer were included and received the first cycle of standard FEC (fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, epirubicin 60 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2). Patients with nadir leukopenia grade 0–2 after first cycle were randomised between either 6 additional courses of tailored FEC with increased doses (E 75–90 mg/m2, C 900–1200 mg/m2) or fixed treatment with 6 standard FEC. Patients with grade 3–4 leukopenia were registered and treated with 6 standard FEC. Primary end-point was distant disease-free survival (DDFS). Results: The study enrolled 1535 patients, of which 1052 patients were randomised to tailored FEC (N = 524) or standard FEC (N = 528), whereas 401 patients with leukopenia grade 3–4 continued standard FEC and formed the registered cohort. Dose escalation did not statistically significantly improve 10-year DDFS (79% and 77%, HR 0.87, CI 0.67–1.14, P = 0.32) or OS (82% and 78%, respectively, HR 0.89, CI 0.57–1.16, P = 0.38). Corresponding estimates for the registered group of patients were DDFS 79% and OS 82%, respectively. Conclusions: The SBG 2000-1 study failed to show a statistically significant improvement of escalated and tailored-dosed chemotherapy compared with standard BSA-based chemotherapy in patients with low haematological toxicity, although all efficacy parameters showed a numerical advantage for tailored treatment.
