Role of Traditional Markers in ER+ EBC • Markers are used to determine diagnosis, estimate prognosis and to inform treatment decisions • Some markers (tumour grade, nodal status and genomic tests) are prognostic; some are predictive of treatment benefit. Some are both predictive and prognostic (ER, PR, HER 2 and Oncotype DX® assay) • Standardisation and / or reproducibility of a test may present a challenge • Variability in interpretation of results • Despite the use of many markers, a large proportion of patients are classified as intermediate risk and there is a population in whom treatment decisions are not clear Cianfrocca and Goldstein.

What are Genetics and Genomics? Genetics Genomics • Genes (units of heredity) carry the instructions for making proteins, which direct the activities of cells and functions of the body • Study of all of a person's genes (the genome), interactions of the genes with each other and with the environment • Study of a single gene, its roles in inheritance and its effects • Examples of genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, and in oncology; BRCA • Study of complex diseases such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and cancer because these diseases are typically caused more by a combination of genetic and environmental factors than by individual genes
Oncotype DX® Breast Test • It is a genomic test of the expression of 21 genes (16 tumor genes and 5 housekeeping genes) • Utilizes RT-PCR technology on FFPE tissue • Quantitatively predicts the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence in women with newly diagnosed, early stage invasive breast cancer • Assesses the likely benefit from both hormonal therapy and chemotherapy • Is the only multi-parameter gene expression assay to show clinical utility in breast cancer • Is recommended by clinical practice guidelines (St Gallen, ESMO, ASCO, NCCN) and NICE Harris L, et al.

The Oncotype DX® Breast Test Results • Quantifies expression of a panel of genes which is expressed as a Recurrence Score® • The Recurrencence Score® is a continuous value ranging from 0 to 100; and classifies patients into 3 risk categories: – Low (<18) – minimal benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy 1, 2 – Intermediate (18 -30) - ? 1, 2 – High (≥ 31) - significant benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy 1, 2 1. 2.

Oncotype DX test funding in England • Recommended by NICE – Oncotype DX is recommended as an option for guiding adjuvant chemotherapy decisions for people with oestrogen receptor positive (ER+), lymph node negative (LN−) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER 2−) early breast cancer if: • The person is assessed as being at intermediate risk and • Information on the biological features of the cancer provided by Oncotype DX is likely to help in predicting the course of the disease and would therefore help when making the decision about prescribing chemotherapy • Progressing through NHS England, policy document out for comment by 14 March – Intermediate risk defined as an OS benefit of >3% with Predict tool – Registration of patients and collection of information required by NHS England 17

Retrospective Budget Impact Analysis on the use of the Oncotype DX test in Ireland Estimation of real life budget impact associated with use of the Oncotype DX test in Irish clinical practice during the first year of reimbursement (October 2011 - Sept 2012) No of pts Number of pts tested and no pts receiving CT Hospitals Falahee M et al St Gallen Breast Cancer Congress 2013 • 75% pts tested were not given CT • All pts with a low RS and 57% pts with an intermediate RS avoided CT • In first year of reimbursement, ODX test was associated with savings of € 856, 440 to the chemotherapy budget
Conclusions • Oncotype DX® is a consistent and effective test that compliments current decision making tools – Recommended in all major international treatment guidelines • The Recurrence Score® cannot be predicted by standard clinicopathological data • 31. 9% change in treatment recommendations • Oncotype DX® was shown to be consistently cost effective across different countries and is expected to generate cost savings
Conclusions • Despite the use of traditional markers, a proportion of patients are classified as intermediate risk and in whom treatment decisions are not clear • Recurrence Score® results reflects individual tumor biology • The risk of distant recurrence or chemotherapy benefit can't be accurately predicted by relying on conventional tools alone • Oncotype DX the only assay that has been demonstrated to be predictive of likelihood of benefit from chemotherapy allowing chemotherapy to be given to those most likely to benefit 2, 3 (Level I Evidence) • Only assay incorporated into ASCO®, NCCN® , ESMO, St Gallen and NICE guidelines • Oncotype DX® was shown to be consistently cost effective across and is expected to generate cost savings ASCO is a trademark of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and NCCN is a trademark of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
