Summary • 2004 Paik et al NEJM publication on validation of Recurrence Score • April 2010: first conversation with NICE • Two UK decision impact studies set up • Private health insurance companies start to reimburse • May 2011: NICE diagnostics assessment commenced • September 2013: NICE recommendation (DG 10) • April 2015: NHS patients can access!
The Oncotype DX® Assay The only multi-gene assay incorporated into all major guidelines to predict adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in ER+, HER 2 - EBC NCCN Guidelines® 1 Quantifies risk of recurrence as a continuous variable and predicts responsiveness to both tamoxifen and chemotherapy >0. 5 cm, node negative, N 1 mi ASCO® Guidelines 2 Node negative ESMO 3 Node negative St Gallen Consensus 4 Node negative, node positive Predicts the risk of recurrence and may be used to identify patients likely to benefit from tamoxifen or chemotherapy Provides additional prognostic and/or predictive information to complement pathology assessment and to predict response to adjuvant chemotherapy Provides not only prognostic but also predictive information regarding the utility of cytotoxic therapy in addition to endocrine therapy NICE 5 Node negative 1.

Which patients may benefit from the Oncotype DX® Test? Clinical indication NICE guidance Newly diagnosed early stage invasive breast cancer Node-negative or with *1 to 3 positive nodes ER-pos, HER 2 -neg Metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer with 4+ positive nodes HER 2 -pos Triple-neg Newly diagnosed early stage invasive breast cancer Node-negative, ER-positive, HER 2 -negative The patient is assessed as being at intermediate risk; the decision to prescribe chemotherapy remains unclear, so that information on the biological features of the cancer provided by the Oncotype DX® assay is likely to help in a predicting the course of the disease *Use of the Oncotype DX® breast cancer assay in the N+ setting validated for post-menopausal patients NICE guidance DG 10. http: //guidance. NICE. org. UK/DG 10 Accessed 14 Jan 2014 ER: Oestrogen receptor HER 2: Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2
Recurrence Score® results and patient discussion prior to the Oncotype DX® test Eligible: Intermediate risk NPI >3. 4 ≤ 5. 4 Low Benefit of CT on Adjuvant! or ≥ 3% on PREDICT • RS <18: Chemotherapy not recommended. Endocrine alone • RS 18 -30: Treatment recommendation discussed prior to testing based on individual score • RS >30: Chemotherapy recommended
Eligible Patient Summary • All node negative, ER positive, HER 2 negative: – Grade 1: – Grade 2: – Grade 3: > 70 mm > 20 mm Any size
Change in Recommendations – Choice Study • Oncologists recommendation changed in 55 (42%) patients • 43 chemotherapy to no chemotherapy • 12 no chemotherapy to chemotherapy • Oncologists recommended chemotherapy in 51% patients pre Oncotype DX and 28% post Oncotype DX • Changes in recommendation were consistent with the Recurrence Score
