Pertuzumab plus Trastuzumab plus Docetaxel for Metastatic Breast Cancer Baselga J et al. N Engl J Med 2012; 366(2): 109 -19. Cardiac Tolerability of Pertuzumab plus Trastuzumab plus Docetaxel in Patients with HER 2 -Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer in the CLEOPATRA Study Ewer M et al. Proc ASCO 2012; Abstract 533.
Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab: Complementary Mechanisms of Action Pertuzumab HER 2 Trastuzumab Subdomain IV HER 1/3/4 Dimerization domain Trastuzumab: • Inhibits ligand-independent HER 2 signaling • Activates ADCC • Prevents HER 2 ECD shedding Pertuzumab: • Inhibits ligand-dependent HER 2 dimerization and signaling • Activates ADCC = antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity; ECD = extracellular domain
CLEOPATRA Study Design Docetaxel (≥ 6 cycles recommended) Centrally confirmed HER 2 positive locally recurrent, unresectable or metastatic BC (m. BC) ≤ 1 hormonal regimen for m. BC Prior (neo)adjuvant systemic rx, incl trastuzumab and/or taxane allowed if followed by DFS ≥ 12 mo N = 406 Trastuzumab Placebo R Baseline LVEF ≥ 50%; no CHF or LVEF < 50% during or after prior trastuzumab 1: 1 Docetaxel (≥ 6 cycles recommended) Trastuzumab N = 402 Primary endpoint: Independently assessed progression-free survival Baselga J et al.

FDA Press Release on Pertuzumab June 11, 2012 • The US Food and Drug Administration approved pertuzumab, a new anti-HER 2 therapy, to treat patients with HER 2 -positive metastatic breast cancer. • This agent is intended for patients who have not received prior treatment for metastatic breast cancer with an anti-HER 2 therapy or chemotherapy. • Pertuzumab is approved for administration in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. www. fda. gov

Doubling Down on Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 “These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the two antibodies together are more effective than pertuzumab monotherapy. However, on their own, these data are not definitive. The study is limited by the extremely small sample size and the possibility that selection bias influenced which of the patients went on to receive the combination therapy. ” Krop IE. J Clin Oncol 2012; 30(14): 1574 -76.
Dr Blackwell (Case 2) • A 54 -year-old woman presented in January 2010 with ER/PR-negative, HER 2 -positive (IHC 3+, FISH+) inflammatory breast cancer • CT-confirmed metastases to the liver, bone and mediastinum • May 2010: Enrolled on CLEOPATRA trial – Docetaxel dose reduction after 2 cycles due to papular rash • Docetaxel discontinued after 6 cycles • Remains on antibody therapy alone • Patient is doing well with no study-related toxicities
Are there currently patients in your practice who have received anti-HER 2 treatment for metastatic breast cancer for whom you would consider pertuzumab?
Consider the last patient in your practice who died of HER 2 -positive metastatic breast cancer. How many lines of systemic treatment did the patient receive?
