HER 2 CLIMB Intracranial Activity: Background § Brain metastases develop in close to half of patients with HER 2+ MBC[1 -3] § In primary analysis of phase II HER 2 CLIMB trial, addition of tucatinib to trastuzumab + capecitabine significantly improved OS and PFS for patients with HER 2+ MBC, including those with brain metastases[4] ‒ Tucatinib: oral TKI selective for HER 2 with minimal inhibition of EGFR [5, 6] ‒ HR for PFS: 0. 54 (95% CI: 0. 42 -0. 71; P <. 001); HR for OS: 0. 66 (95% CI: 0. 50 -0. 88; P =. 005) ‒ HR for PFS in patients with brain mets: 0. 48 (95% CI: 0. 34 -0. 69; P <. 001) ‒ Tucatinib recently approved in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine for unresectable or metastatic HER 2+ BC following at least 1 prior HER 2 -targeted therapy [7] § Current exploratory analysis evaluated intracranial efficacy, survival of adding tucatinib vs placebo to trastuzumab/capecitabine in patients with baseline brain metastases [8, 9] 1.

HER 2 CLIMB: Phase II Study Design § Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active comparator phase II trial at 155 sites in 15 countries (February 2016 to May 2019); data cutoff: September 4, 2019; median f/u: 14. 0 mos Stratified by brain mets (yes vs no), ECOG PS (0 vs 1), and region (US or Canada vs rest of world) Patients with HER 2+ MBC; prior trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and T-DM 1; ECOG PS 0/1; brain mets allowed* (N = 612) *All patients had baseline MRI.
