Quand on évoque « les routes des esclaves » en RDC, on pense principalement au réseau nord qui partait de Kinshasa vers l'Angola en passant par le Congo central et le port de Moanda. Pourtant, il y a un autre réseau, celui du sud est utilisé essentiellement fin XVIIIe et début XIXe siècle par les Arabes, dont Mohamed Ahmed, connu sous le nom de Tipo Tip. Ses captifs, qui provenaient de la région du Maniema et des environs de Kalemie au sud est de la RDC, étaient ensuite exposés pour la vente au village Kasenga, à plus de 30 km, avant d'être embarqués vers l'île de Zanzibar en Tanzanie. Aujourd'hui, le Musée national à Kalemie tente de faire resurgir cette partie de l'histoire congolaise oubliée. Les Routes des esclaves est un site perdu entre des collines à près de 500 mètres du rivage du lac Tanganyika au nord de Kalemie, en RDC. Pour l'atteindre, il faut passer par le village Kasenga construit sur du sable fin de la plage. Portace Sungura, âgé de 79 ans, a vécu dans cette bourgade toute sa vie et raconte : « Ici était le marché des esclaves. Ils venaient de partout, et puis ils étaient embarqués vers d'autres pays. C'était le commerce des blancs et nous Congolais, on était vendu comme de la marchandise. »Le lieu qui servait justement de marché des esclaves est à environ 400 mètres. Ici, 22 manguiers vieux de plus d'un siècle forment deux rangées. La bande de Tipo Tip utilisait ces arbres pour attacher les esclaves avant l'échange. Mais, cet espace chargé d'histoire ne porte aucune inscription, regrette Kaskile, notre guide : « Ces arbres ne sont plus au nombre complet. Il y a celui-là qui est à côté, des jeunes l'avaient abattu pour produire du charbon. Et ce cet autre manguier du milieu, on l'avait coupé et déterré, espérant y trouver de l'or, mais il n'y avait rien… Et tout ça, c'est parce qu'il n'y a pas de plaque qui identifie le lieu. »La rivière Rugo sépare le site du village. Robert Sulubika, un jeune d'une vingtaine d'années, assure la traversée en pirogue des quelques rares visiteurs. « Les marchands d'esclaves passaient par cette voie. À l'époque, il n'y avait pas d'eau. Ils les conduisaient vers cette plage du lac Tanganyika qui est juste à côté, ensuite, ils les embarquaient pour la Tanzanie », explique-t-il.La Tanzanie, où vivent aujourd'hui les descendants de Naebeka, le grand-père d'Hubert Mbangwanguma, âgé de 89 ans, que nous avons rencontré un peu plus loin du site. Naeba était fait esclave par le groupe de Tipo Tip alors que la traite était déjà abolie, se souvient même en chanson son petit-fils Hubert : « Mon grand-père a été capturé et il est parti. Mais, il avait réussi à s'en fuir, car à ce moment-là, les Belges faisaient pression sur les Arabes. Et mon grand-père s'est installé à Iragana (en Tanzanie) où il est enterré. »Le site La Route des esclaves, au nord de Kalemie, est à ce jour menacé par les inondations. Certains manguiers ont séché. Le Musée national, antenne de Kalemie quant à lui, mène une campagne de promotion de cet espace afin de mobiliser des ressources pour le protéger.À écouter aussiSociété arabo-musulmane et esclavage

Drs Graff, Mahtani, McCann, and Rugo shared moments throughout their lives and careers that sparked their interest in oncology, setbacks they overcame when building their careers, obstacles they encounter as women in the field, and ways that gender bias can be confronted at both the individual and institutional levels.

It's not fair, really. If you think about it…It's one thing to be immensely talented at one creative endeavor, but nowadays, everyone's an overachiever. This is another installment of Drinking About Design, a journey into the less explored aspects of design, art and architecture. This installment is a fun one, for a litany of reasons, and not just because we're drinking, but that doesn't hurt. Just to reset the table for you. In the summer of 2020, the pandemic was in full effect. We were all locked in and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. You remember, you were doing the exact same thing. So, besides the day drinking and looking up old friends on Facebook, I was trying to learn new ways to be socially engaged. One of things I did during that time was binge watch Drunk History, Dinner for Five and Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown and No Reservations. Ground breaking shows that I never could find the time to watch before. I became enamored with the skill by which Anthony Bourdain found a complete language revolving around found and association to society, how Jon Favreau could take 4 celebrities and craft a vibrant tableau out of each of the stories shared around a table. How Derek Waters told stories through the honest interpretations of historical events through the drunken lens of comics woven together as a tapestry featuring some of the funniest people working in Hollywood. Then all of a sudden, it was over. Things opened up all at once and we all got busy. Really busy. I've been missing some of those evenings at the virtual bar, My virtual bar is called, Big D Energy. Big Design Energy for my Hip Hop loving friends. I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea. Now, this installment is a fun one and features, Michael Imber, Ankie Barnes, Steve Rugo, Tom Kligerman and Douglas C. Wright. 5 architects, friends with a passion for whisky and a love for painting in watercolor.  Some are a bit better at it, I'm not going to say who…but they will. These five creatives are extremely accomplished in their chosen profession, they are extraordinarily talented artists, they are well traveled, and we talk about this and so much more.  Old Fashioned Ingredients - AllRecipes.com These are the ingredients you'll need to make this top-rated old fashioned recipe: Simple syrup: Use store-bought simple syrup or make your own at home. Water: A teaspoon of water helps bring out the flavor of the bourbon. Bitters: Use store-bought bitters or make your own at home. Ice: Traditional old fashioned cocktails are served over ice. Bourbon: Of course, you'll need bourbon! You can use rye whiskey instead, if you like. Garnishes: Garnish your old fashioned with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Welcome to the Big D Energy, a virtual pub at the sketchy outskirts of the internet. We're talking about art, architecture, travel, and having fun with a few pops among friends. Cozy up to the bar, grab a drink and enjoy this conversation with the Whiskey Watercolor Club. Thanks for listening to this installment of Drinking About Design featuring the Whiskey Watercolor Club. Thank you, Tom, Ankie, Michael, Douglas and Steve for sharing your stories and incredible talents. Thank you for doing this. For notes, drink recipe's and further links to the stories and work you heard about here, check the show notes. Thanks for listening. Cheers.

Inside the Issue: Optimizing the Management of Metastatic BRCA-Negative, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer | Faculty Presentation 2: Current and Future Role of Nonbiomarker-Based Strategies for Patients with Metastatic BRCA-Negative TNBC — Hope S Rugo, MD CME information and select publications

Drs. Hope Rugo and Kristin Rojas discuss advances in the management of menopausal symptoms, fertility preservation, and bone health for women on endocrine therapy for breast cancer. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Hope Rugo: Hello. I'm Dr. Hope Rugo, your guest host of the ASCO Daily News Podcast today. I'm a professor of medicine and director of breast oncology and clinical trials education at the University of California San Francisco's Comprehensive Cancer Center. And I'm also an associate editor of the ASCO Educational Book.   In patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, the most common subset of the most common cancer in women worldwide, adjuvant endocrine therapy significantly reduces the risk of recurrence and death. However, prolonged estrogen suppression associated with the use of endocrine therapy can cause life-altering menopausal symptoms, bone loss, and fertility concerns. These issues impact the use of endocrine therapy and potentially breast cancer outcome.    Today, we'll be discussing mitigation strategies to manage the side effects of endocrine therapy, which we hope will improve our patient's quality of life and adherence to treatment with Dr. Kristin Rojas, who addressed these issues in a recently published article in the 2023 ASCO Educational Book. Dr. Rojas is an assistant professor of surgery and a breast surgical oncologist and gynecologic surgeon at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.    Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode, and disclosures of all guests on the podcast can be found in our transcripts at asco.org/DNpod.    Dr. Rojas, thank you for being on the podcast today.   Dr. Kristin Rojas: Thanks, Dr. Rugo, thank you so much for having me. Thank you to ASCO as well. It's truly an honor to be here with you today.  Dr. Hope Rugo: Your excellent article provides an updated overview of the existing approaches and a little forward thinking for improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients who are receiving estrogen deprivation therapy, a really broad term we use for all the hormone therapy we use in ovarian function suppression in the treatment of breast cancer. And then you had a very nice session education session at the ASCO Annual Meeting discussing these issues. Can you briefly discuss the educational session, your speakers and topics, and then we'll get more into the details of this important topic?   Dr. Kristin Rojas: At our educational session at ASCO this year, I chaired the session and presented on managing the sexual side effects and menopausal symptoms of estrogen suppression. And I had two wonderful colleagues with me: Dr. Matteo Lambertini, who shared guidelines regarding bone-targeted agents and managing bone health during endocrine suppression. And then we also had Dr. Terri Woodard, who is a reproductive endocrinologist from MD Anderson, who spoke on managing fertility concerns, which is a very important topic right now.   Dr. Hope Rugo: Yeah, that's great. And it was such a fabulous session. Our listeners can view it online at asco.org if you missed this session. But let's talk a little bit about what was in your article and what was discussed. First, I think the physical and psychological effects of cancer care we know are critical components of survivorship care. Can you tell me a little bit more about that and how we need to understand that as oncologists?  Dr. Kristin Rojas: So, as you know, as treatment continues to improve, our cancer outcomes are improving and the population of survivors continues to grow. So, I think that for many breast cancer patients, or having the diagnosis of breast cancer, becomes more of a chronic illness and less a life-threatening issue for some. I think that the conversation is now changing from “Will you live?” to “How will you live?” And I was thrilled to see that other big organizations, along with ASCO, are prioritizing managing these important symptoms in survivorship. Because I think that, as most patients will be on some form of estrogen suppression, managing the toxicity of these therapies, as you pointed out, probably does influence treatment adherence, which directly translates to an oncologic improvement. So, it's not just managing these soft symptoms, it actually will have a direct influence on probably overall survival along with disease-free survival.  Dr. Hope Rugo: Yeah, I think that's incredibly important and it's not just about doing the exam and finding out symptoms that might signify recurrence, it's really trying to address the effects of the treatment patients have gotten of chemo and their ongoing treatment with endocrine therapy that's so incredibly important. And now, of course, in medical oncology, we're adding on more agents which add to symptoms. That'll be the topic of next year's ASCO educational session. What do you do with the CDK4/6 inhibitors and managing those. But in more than 80% of women who are on the antiestrogen or various, I'm going to call hormone therapies, for early-stage breast cancer, vasomotor symptoms are a big issue. They're typically more severe in younger patients because of course they have estrogen and we take it away. So, how do we mitigate this problem in patients that can result in poor sleep and impact many aspects of one's psychosocial status? And these issues, not sleeping, of course, you make everything worse.  Dr. Kristin Rojas: Yeah, that's a really important point. And you're right, this is a really common symptom experienced by the majority of patients on endocrine suppression. And not only those patients, but patients with triple negative disease who are put into menopause from chemotherapy, etc., along with women with cancer of other disease sites. And so, as the director of our program at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the program is called MUSIC, which stands for Menopause Urogenital Sexual Health and Intimacy Clinic.    This is a very common symptom that patients often report. And one of the important things about this that I've realized is that hot flashes or vasomotor symptoms can actually have a pretty varied presentation. So, it's not just intense sweating. Sometimes these patients can present with palpitations, panic attacks, and they don't even realize that they're hot flashes. This is an effect of estrogen suppression and it's a central mechanism. So, it's probably related to hypothalamic dysregulation regarding how our body senses temperature changes, but it results in widespread flushing and sweating and those other aspects I told you about.   So, we've known for a long time that there are some behavioral modifications that can help with vasomotor symptoms or hot flashes. But now, we actually do have some pretty effective pharmacologic therapies for these patients as well, for whom behavioral modifications aren't completely helping the issue. Or, as you said, when patients are being woken up all night long with these hot flashes, it totally disrupts how their day goes and disrupts coping with their disease and all the other aspects of their treatment.   So, there's some effective treatments that we have. One of those being cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be helpful. The data on acupuncture is mixed, but I'm hopeful about this. And then the pharmacologic therapies we have. Traditionally or historically, clonidine, which is an alpha agonist, has been used along with gabapentin. But I think when choosing a medication to prescribe to a patient for hot flashes, you have to take into account the side effect profile. Clonidine does have some issues with blood pressure rebound, and gabapentin is really only effective in large doses, which can be very sedating for patients.    In the MUSIC Sexual Health After Cancer program, we typically stick to low dose SSRIs or SNRIs. I usually go with venlafaxine at a really low dose of 37.5 milligrams, and I can titrate up. I have patients take it at night in case they feel a little foggy when they first start it. But more recently, we've started using oxybutynin, which is an anticholinergic medication originally FDA approved for overactive bladder. I use the XL formulation, or you can do 2.5 or 5 milligrams BID. And this, in a study a few years ago, was shown to significantly reduce hot flashes and improve quality of life in a placebo-controlled trial.   So, important aspects of side effects of these medications with SSRIs or SNRIs working in the MUSIC Sexual Health After Cancer Program, sexual health concerns are often an issue, so those drugs can be libido zappers sometimes. But, the biggest side effect I've come across with oxybutynin for patients is dry mouth, and usually that resolves after a little while. So, we've had a lot of success in managing patients' hot flashes with these medications.  Dr. Hope Rugo: That's great and incredibly helpful. And I will say that as we're talking about these issues on this podcast, this is really important for all of our staff and our clinics because most of us don't have a fabulous clinic like the one you've started. But we are managing this with our staff, our APPs, and other areas that our patients are seeing. If everybody has this education, it will really help in the management of symptoms. And I just want to point out that venlafaxine was the first drug to be studied in this area really successful, but that we can use a whole host of different antidepressants. If people have side effects from one another, one may work really well, and generally low doses work well. The oxybutynin was such a very cool study. I think that's a great additional option.    In addition to hot flashes, we also see genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and that's part of what you deal with every day in your clinic, GSM. And this can be not just vaginal dryness, which is bad enough, but also increased infections, painful sex, recurrent bladder infections and also reduced libido, which is a really big issue, we just don't talk about very much. What's the most effective and safe treatment for GSM? And we use a lot of low dose vaginal estrogen and a variety of delivery mechanisms. What are the risk and benefits when patients really need something more?   Dr. Kristin Rojas: GSM, or genitourinary syndrome of menopause, is this newer umbrella term for what we used to call vaginal atrophy. And you're right, it encompasses not only dryness, but all the other changes that can happen to the vulvovaginal mucosa along with anatomic changes to the pelvic floor. This is critically important, I think, that we address these issues or these potential side effects at the time of endocrine therapy prescription because what we have found in our program is that while hot flashes might get better, these symptoms do not get better. And left untreated, they get worse.   And one of the surprising findings that we have presented earlier at another conference this year was that almost half of our patients, when they had their pelvic exam in the program, were also found to have vaginal stenosis. So narrowing and shortening of the vagina, making penetrative sex actually impossible. So it's really not just dryness, but a host of these other symptoms that go along with that. I like to break this down in a really simple way because I know that a lot of providers may be intimidated when patients might bring this up. But I think about it this way. Number 1, eliminate irritants. Number 2, moisturize. Number 3, lubricate. And 4, address the pelvic floor.   Oftentimes when patients present in the MUSIC program, they've been putting a lot of over the counter topical therapies on the vulva and the vagina using intravaginal washes. One of the biggest offenders of some of these symptoms is artificial fragrance, which we can actually develop an allergic reaction to, which manifests as burning and stinging. So these patients may also report burning and stinging in addition to dryness. These offenders can be in all kinds of products. So not only feminine washes, which I don't recommend in our program, but things like bath bombs, bubble bath, toilet paper. And so we kind of go through an inventory of everything that's touching the delicate tissues of the vulva and the vagina and try to back off those products.   The second thing is moisturization. It's important to talk to patients about the difference between moisturization, which I say is for maintenance, and lubricants, which are for PRN use sexual activity. But I tell patients, "lubricants for love." That's how I differentiate the use of these two different types of products because they have different properties. Usually after eliminating irritants, our first step is to start with a non-hormonal moisturizer because there's some really good high-tech non-hormonal moisturizers out there, specifically those containing hyaluronic acid, which pulls moisture from the environment and holds it on the skin. And by using this first—this is my personal opinion—but I think by improving the mucosa a little bit and kind of improving the dryness, maybe even the elasticity a little bit, I think that when patients do have persistent symptoms after using regularly these non-hormonal moisturizers at least three times a week, that adding in a low dose vaginal hormone at that time, instead of putting it on completely atrophic mucosa, you're putting it on kind of like a pretreated mucosa, which I think might decrease systemic absorption.   I'm so glad you brought up vaginal estrogen. I could give an entire talk just on that, so I'd be happy to do that next year for ASCO if anybody wants. But it is very controversial. Historically, there have not been studies showing an increased risk of recurrence with the use of local estrogen therapy, so estrogen in the vulva and the vagina. However, there was a recent study that came out this year that was a large analysis of breast cancer patients receiving different types of hormone therapy. And in a subset analysis of the group who got local vaginal estrogen, just in those patients on aromatase inhibitors, there was a slightly, but statistically significant–according to their analysis–increase in the risk of recurrence. I think there's some issues with this analysis because it was a large study and there's a lot of recall bias and measuring this in patients is really challenging. But I think it's still important to mention because a lot of patients are going to read about those things, these types of studies.   The way I approach it is to start with the lowest dose and I start with infrequent dosing. If patients have persistent symptoms, I start them with once a week or twice a week, which is different from the original pharmacokinetic studies of higher dose estrogens, which showed a bump in their serum estradiol when they used it every night for two weeks. So I actually do the opposite and taper them up. I'll do once a week to twice a week. And usually, patient symptoms are resolved at that point.   But I do want to point out, that's a great option for patients on tamoxifen because mechanistically, as you know, it probably doesn't matter if they have a little bump in their serum estrogen. But for the patients on aromatase inhibitors, we actually have a new kid on the block, a vaginal androgen called prasterone or DHEA. I dose this in the same way, titrate it up. But this can be really helpful for patients on aromatase inhibitors because the ALLIANCE trial showed that for those patients on AIs that their systemic estrogen levels do not increase. And so that's kind of how I manage that discussion. I do think it takes some multidisciplinary collaboration, so I always involve my medical oncology colleagues on this.    Lastly, lubricants. So, everyone seems to be really into using water-based lubricants, but I try to tell patients, unless you're depending on condoms for STD or contraception protection, silicone-based lubricants that are like preservative-free and don't have a lot of those gimmicks or additives, are great—they stay slippery for longer—and there's some really great brands out there. And then for patients who still have persistent pain with sex, we address the pelvic floor, which is either through the use of dilators, referring them to pelvic floor physical therapy, or other sexual devices that we use in the MUSIC program.  Dr. Hope Rugo: This is really helpful, and I think that for many of us in practice, we really want to get the specifics of what you use. I think this prasterone, the idea of DHEA is really very interesting and something that personally I haven't used, but we did use in the distant past before there was an FDA-approved version.   So I guess I have several questions just to ask about the details. So one is, when you prescribe this, do you find it's generally covered by insurance? And when you say low dose, do you mean just try it once a week? And then do you use the estrogen tablets, the brand names are often Yuvafem or Vagifem, we often use those twice a week. How often do you use them and do you use the estrogen ring also? What are the absolute specifics of what you're recommending to these women? And do you feel like sometimes in patients who are developing these symptoms that early use can help avoid the more severe symptoms and therefore reduce the exposure?   And lastly, just to say, that paper which was so interesting about the slightly increased risk of recurrence, I felt was so flawed in terms of what people were using and if they were taking their hormone therapy and risk of recurrence, the risk of the cancer itself, that I really felt like I couldn't make anything out of it in terms of the risk to patients. But I'm really interested in your specific recommendations.  Dr. Kristin Rojas: Thanks for asking about specifics. And I'm happy to give our treatment algorithms here, which we also discussed in our session and we listed in our EdBook manuscript. We do pelvic exams in the MUSIC program and I often find that there's very specific points in the vestibule or the opening of the vagina that are tender and have pain, specifically, what's known as the posterior fourchette, which is the kind of connection between the right and the left side towards the posterior aspect. So, I usually start with a 1% estradiol cream and have patients tap it to the outside and then bring in a dilator and have patients use not only a silicone lubricant, but put some of the estradiol cream on the dilator. And so that brings the product up to the top of the vagina for patients that have some of those anatomic changes that I discussed.   So this is 1 option, and we really don't have a lot of issues with insurance authorization for the cream, just every once in a while. We can also use a 4 microgram or a 10 microgram dose of estradiol, which is a tablet, which are newer options. This is in contrast to the old pharmacokinetic studies that use 25 micrograms. So this is much, much lower. I do run into some prior authorization issues with those because there tend to be newer versions of this. But as you mentioned, the estradiol ring, which I do think is a great option and when you calculate it out, releases a very low dose of estradiol every day. And it's good for patients who want a more low maintenance regimen. The only challenge I've had with that is it's a large rigid ring. And for patients who already have those anatomic changes, it can be really hard to place that in the vagina.   And so, just like you said, early prevention and treatment of these issues can prevent not only anatomic changes, but even potentially the need for exposure for larger doses of hormones. For all of those options, I tend to do it once or twice a week and then can move up. But we sometimes get kind of creative in how we use these options in terms of placing them on the dilator, placing them externally. For patients that have recurrent urinary tract infections, I also have them kind of tap some of the estradiol cream around the urethra as well to improve the urethral and potentially bladder microbiome and decrease risk of recurrent UTIs.  Dr. Hope Rugo: That's really interesting, and I think those specifics are incredibly helpful. We also will check, although I have to say there's no data to support it, the serum estradiol levels in patients who are using more than our minimal amount. We have plenty of studies that have shown that there really isn't systemic estrogen if people are using very low doses. But we will check sometimes, just sometimes people use these topical creams where they get premenopausal levels of estrogen, which of course we don't want. So, this is an incredibly helpful and useful discussion.    One of the other things that happens for these patients and our younger patients, which breast cancer is still increasing in small numbers in younger patients every year, and many of these patients have hormone receptor positive disease. And it just breaks your heart to see a 38-year-old who is planning to get pregnant next month with their new partner who develops a hormone receptor positive breast cancer. and we want to give people all the options they possibly can. We are strong proponents for harvesting eggs and either freezing eggs or embryos before you start treatment. And we figure we always have 2 weeks for breast cancer. We also use ovarian function suppression during chemo just for whatever help it might have.   But then after patients have finished their treatment and they're on hormone therapy, it's a really big issue for women about when they can have a child because we don't want to wait until they're 45. So, you had noted in your article that some women could take a break from endocrine therapy after 18 to 24 months to try and conceive. Can you tell me a little more about that?  Dr. Kristin Rojas: Sure. Well, this aspect of our discussion was very well presented by my colleague, Dr. Terri Woodard from MD Anderson, a reproductive endocrinologist, and she also put together the aspect of this for our manuscript. She talks about how fertility counseling and referral is probably underutilized, but definitely indicated for most of these patients who are of pregnancy age or premenopausal status. And observational data for a long time didn't show that pregnancy after treatment worsened oncologic outcomes. However, patients as well as many providers had reservations.   So, it's been very helpful that we now have a prospective, large, international trial known as the POSITIVE trial, the early results of which came out earlier this year, which showed that women, after 18 to 24 months, could interrupt endocrine therapy and did not have a worsened short-term oncologic outcome. And those are women with early-stage breast cancer. However, there is a concern that many patients do take longer to get pregnant in that age group or after treatment, potentially if they've received chemo. There is a concern about the duration of time that they're not on endocrine therapy afterwards, which might be further clarified in later analyses. So that's my takeaway from that study, which did show us that very helpful, reassuring information. But I think we're still waiting for the long-term data and it's definitely still a very important patient-centered discussion.   Dr. Hope Rugo: This is a really excellent point, and I think that one of the things of a trial like this, which is sort of a registry study, is that we're always going to speak with our feet to some degree. So, if patients have very, very high risk of recurrence and highly proliferative disease, we might not want them to stop at 18 months because their risks are so high early. So, it has to be a risk versus benefit discussion for individual patients, of course. But I think this data was incredibly reassuring.   It was interesting there were some patients who hadn't restarted their endocrine therapy. In the paper in the New England Journal, it told us that some of those patients were still trying to conceive. But one of the things that's going to be really important for these patients is to really make a big effort on the part of our clinical practices to get patients to restart their hormone therapy. It's very hard to do that, as you can imagine, in that setting.    Another area here is monitoring bone health. And I know that's not part of the MUSIC clinic per se because you're really focusing on GSM and other areas that we've just discussed, which are so incredibly important. And it's funny, bone health is silent, right? So, although some patients don't want to take aromatase inhibitors because they're worried about losing further bone density, they don't feel it. So that's, of course, a different kind of a toxicity. But we know that by suppressing ovarian function in young women, we cause a lot of bone loss, and in older women, already in menopause, that this continuous loss of bone increases the risk of fractures, which can be a huge impact on quality of life and even survival in some cases. So, we're really interested in trying to prevent bone demineralization and reducing the risk of fractures. I believe that Matteo Lambertini from Italy discussed this in your paper and that there's a lot of discussion about use of denosumab and zoledronate. I wonder if you could just comment a little bit on that in our last couple of minutes.  Dr. Kristin Rojas: Well, as you said, my colleague Dr. Lambertini put this aspect of our paper together, but he did put together a very nice summary of bisphosphonates and denosumab and separated their use by premenopausal and postmenopausal patients because the data surrounding those patient populations is slightly different or nuanced. But as you mentioned, it is important to monitor these patients' bone density. We have our standard recommendations such as a calcium-enriched diet, resistance and weight-bearing exercise, and vitamin D for patients, for those patients with a vitamin D deficiency or at risk of bone density loss. And so these pharmacologic agents can also help decrease bone mineral density loss and potentially decrease or likely decrease bone recurrences, which, as we know, influences survival. I think he provides a very nice summary of that, as you mentioned.  Dr. Hope Rugo: I think that's so incredibly important. And thank you for really emphasizing the weight-bearing exercise and checking vitamin D and making sure patients are taking vitamin D and at least some calcium. And then, of course, our institution, we work closely with our endocrinologists specializing in bone as well, when issues come up about risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw, and we require dental clearance for everybody starting medication just to make sure that we've reduced risk to the patient. And then when we're trying to think about stopping denosumab and should we bridge with zoledronate to reduce the risk of fracture, we also talk to our bone doc. So it's really important.   And in our last just 1 minute, I know you were thinking of saying something about measuring estrogen in the blood in patients who are using vaginal estrogens. Do you do that?   Dr. Kristin Rojas: Yeah, great question. I'm glad you brought that up. We actually don't routinely do this in the MUSIC program, but it is an important aspect to think about today, because I don't know about where you are, but here in South Florida we have a lot of patients who are receiving therapies outside of the FDA-approved space and these are typically marketed as bioidentical hormones, which is a marketing term. Oftentimes, they'll get either transdermal formulations or pelleted hormone therapy that can result in really high superphysiologic testosterone or estrogen levels. And so we typically, for those patients, do try to get them off those non FDA-approved therapies because the safety of those is unknown.   Dr. Hope Rugo: That's really interesting and so helpful. Yes, I know this whole idea of bioidentical hormones drives me crazy, but I think that's great that you brought that up, actually. We do measure it. Who knows? I think if you're really worried, measuring “Yeah, everybody's hot flashes went away,” it's probably worthwhile checking.   This was such a fabulous conversation. I learned so much. We really appreciate your contribution to the educational manuscript, to the educational program, and your fabulous insights with us today. Thank you so much for participating on the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I think everyone will find this very helpful.   Dr. Kristin Rojas: Thank you so much for having me.   Dr. Hope Rugo: And thank you to you, our listeners, for joining us today.

Dr Rugo discusses the second interim analysis of overall survival in the TROPiCS-02 trial, the implications of post-progression treatments after ribociclib and endocrine therapy in the phase 3 MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-3, and MONALEESA-7 studies, and what the AMALEE trial indicates about optimal starting doses of first-line ribociclib in hormone receptor–positive breast cancer.

While the DESTINY-Breast04 trial, which earned a standing ovation as a practice-changing study for treatment of HER2-low MBC garnered most of the headlines from the ASCO (America Society of Clinical Oncologists) annual meeting in June, it was not the only reason for optimism.  In this episode, the first of a two-part series, Our MBC Life's Victoria Goldberg and Lynda Weatherby continue to explore what the research shared at ASCO means for us, the patients living with MBC.  You'll hear from preeminent oncologists Stephanie Graff, Director of Breast Oncology at the Lifespan Cancer Institute at Brown University  and Hope Rugo (Professor, Department of Medicine (Hematology/Oncology) and Director, Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials Education, UCSF) in this deep dive into two critical studies: DESTINY-Breast04 and TROPICS-02. The latter examined a potential new line of treatment for heavily pre-treated HR-positive, HER2-negative MBC patients.  ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) and TRODELVY (sacituzumab govitecan), the two drugs at the heart of these two trials, are both representatives of a relatively new class of drugs: Antibody Drug Conjugates—ADCs. ADCs are a class of drugs that links a potent chemotherapy drug with an antibody. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, ADCs are intended to target and kill tumor cells while sparing healthy cells. They are a kind of “smart bomb” for cancer treatment—and an extraordinarily promising development for patients.Our wide-ranging conversations with Dr. Graff and Dr. Rugo cover not only the results of these two trials, but their implications for treatment and the future of breast cancer research.More info about the show and past episodes is available on our website: www.ourmbclife.orgGot something to share?

At the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2022, Dr. Rugo presented results from the TROPiCS-02 trial, which was looking to see if the targeted therapy Trodelvy could offer more benefits for people diagnosed with previously treated, metastatic, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer than chemotherapy. Currently, Trodelvy is approved to treat previously-treated, metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Rugo explain: the type of medicine Trodelvy is and how it works the results showing people diagnosed with previously treated, metastatic, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer lived longer when they received Trodelvy compared to chemotherapy how the results from TROPiCS-02 fit into current treatment options

Dr Hope Rugo is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr Rugo is a Principal Investigator of multiple clinical trials focusing on combining novel targeted therapeutics with standard treatment. We asked Dr Rugo to explain her research topic: New Options in HR+ Breast Cancer – TROPICS-02 and beyond.

En esta edición de Carrusel de las Artes recibimos en nuestros estudios a la artista de burlesque Teresa Rugo. Ella nos habló de este arte escénico poco conocido, pero con una larga historia. 

En este número de Carrusel de las Artes, recibimos en nuestros estudios a la artista de burlesque, Teresa Rugo. Elle nos habló de este arte escénico poco conocido pero con una larga historia. Teresa Rugo nació en Veracruz (México) pero vive y trabaja en París. Se dedica al cabaret burlesque, un tipo de arte escénico y dramático que nació en el siglo XIX en Europa, y que mezcla baile, canto, humor y sensualidad “El burlesque, para mí, es el arte de desnudarse, del erotismo”, declaró Teresa Rugo. Rugo tiene una formación de teatro, pero aprendió el burlesque de mano de otras artistas que conoció en México. Decidió viajar a Europa para formarse y ahora da clases de burlesque y desarrolla espectáculos en los que está muy presente la cultura mexicana y latinoamericana. Uno de los personajes que ha explorado con el burlesque es el de la Catrina, muy presente en la cultura mexicana. Pero asegura que sus espectáculos tienen también un mensaje potente, de emancipación femenina, y contra el racismo y los clichés sobre los latinoamericanos. Uno de sus espactáculos aborda el racismo durante el mandato del expresidente Donald Trump, show que ha suscitado mucho entusiasmo en los festivales donde lo ha presentado.

Dr. Hope Rugo is professor of medicine in the division of hematology and oncology at the University of California San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, where she is also the director of breast oncology and clinical trials education. Dr. Rugo is also a member of the Breastcancer.org Professional Advisory Board. She is a principal investigator of a number of clinical trials looking at combining new targeted and immunotherapy medicines with standard treatments for both early-stage and advanced-stage breast cancer and has published hundreds of peer-reviewed papers. At the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2021, Dr. Rugo presented final results from the KEYNOTE-355 trial, which was looking to see if Keytruda (chemical name: pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy were better than chemotherapy alone as a first treatment for metastatic PD-L1-positive, triple-negative breast cancer. Earlier results found that adding Keytruda to chemotherapy improved progression-free survival — how long people lived before the cancer grew — for this type of breast cancer. These new results show that adding Keytruda improves overall survival — how long people live whether the breast cancer grows or not. Listen to the podcast to hear Dr. Rugo explain: what the KEYNOTE-355 aimed to do whether Keytruda offers benefits for PD-L1-negative disease why it's important for a medicine to improve overall survival as well as progression-free survival the differences in PD-L1 tests and what they mean for the effectiveness of breast cancer checkpoint inhibitor medicines Running time: 25:03

Dr. Hope Rugo, professor of medicine and director of Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials Education at the University of California, San Francisco Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center, highlights key studies in breast cancer featured at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting.   Transcript: ASCO Daily News: Welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll, a reporter for the ASCO Daily News. My guest today is Dr. Hope Rugo. She is a professor of medicine and the director of Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials Education at the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Rugo joins me to discuss key advances in the breast cancer field featured at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting. Dr. Rugo has received research support for clinical trials through the University of California from Pfizer, Merck, Novartis, Lilly, Roche, and other organizations. Her full disclosures are available on the transcript of this episode at asco.org/podcasts. Dr. Rugo, it's great to have you on the podcast today. Dr. Hope Rugo: Oh, it's great to be here. ASCO Daily News: There were many interesting studies in breast cancer featured at the Annual Meeting. Thank you for being here to highlight some of them. Let's start with the OlympiA trial. This is LBA1. This remarkable study found that adjuvant olaparib extends disease-free survival in BRCA-mutated early stage HER2-negative breast cancer. What can you tell us about this trial? Dr. Hope Rugo: Well, this is really such an amazing study, in terms of the results and its practice-changing impact. The study actually kind of interestingly was published in the New England Journal [of Medicine] 2 days before it was presented. And even though we had all seen the data, it was really such a, I think, moving presentation in terms of really changing the face of treatment for women and men with BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated breast cancer. Of course, olaparib and talazoparib are both PARP inhibitors that are approved to treat metastatic breast cancer associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. And in those randomized trials, they showed improvement in response and progression-free survival, but not clear differences in overall survival. So, of course, when we have an impact in the metastatic setting, the next step is to move into early-stage breast cancer. But that's quite a challenge given the fact that you have to test and find the mutation, which is challenging in some parts of the world. And then you have to decide which group of patients need more than standard therapy. So the OlympiA trial randomly assigned patients who had pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and HER2-negative, either hormone receptor-positive or triple negative breast cancer, to receive a year of olaparib or a placebo. And the patient eligibility was further defined. If you had triple negative breast cancer, you could have had any residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy, or you had to have a tumor greater than two centimeters or a positive node. If you have hormone receptor-positive disease keeping in mind the benefit of adjuvant endocrine therapy. If you didn't have a pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant therapy, you had to have a few other high-risk features using the CPS plus EG score. And if you received adjuvant therapy, you had to have four or more positive nodes, so stage III disease. All patients had to have received at least six cycles of chemotherapy, radiation as indicated, and of course, hormone therapy was given for hormone receptor-positive disease. There were over 1,800 patients randomly assigned, which was pretty, I think, impressive given the fact that everybody had to be tested. And the whole idea behind the trial is that you would enroll a group of patients who still had a high residual risk of recurrence, even though you got standard and reasonable adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. It's important to keep in mind when you think about the results of this trial is that having a BRCA mutation, and in particular BRCA1, increases sensitivity to chemotherapy. So the pathologic complete response rates, for example, in the neoadjuvant setting for triple negative breast cancer with the BRCA1 gene mutation, are higher than in patients who don't have a germline mutation. And so you're really looking at a group of patients who have high-risk disease because they didn't have a pathologic complete response if it was the neoadjuvant setting. Now, of the patient population, a little over 70% had BRCA1 mutations. The rest had BRCA2 mutations. And for the triple negative group, that represented a large portion of the population, about 80%. Again, the rest, a little under 20%, had hormone receptor-positive disease. As you would expect, more than 50%, about 60%, were premenopausal. And about 50% received neoadjuvant therapy. There's always a question about whether or not treatment with prior platinum-based therapy, which is also effective when you have DNA repair deficiency, such as in the germline BRCA mutations, whether or not that would affect sensitivity. A little more than a quarter of the patients had received a platinum chemotherapy agents. And the invasive disease-free survival, the primary endpoint of this trial, was really remarkable. There was an 8.8% improvement in a 3-year invasive disease-free survival rate in patients taking olaparib versus placebo, a very big p-value, and a hazard ratio 0.58. This is really dramatic. The curves separated early, and they remained separated. So that it was the IDFS was 77% for patients on placebo and about 86% in patients who were receiving olaparib, just really very impressive. And one of the things you want to find out about is are you changing the rate of distant recurrence. And indeed, not only were there less distant recurrences, but if you look at distant excluding the brain, that's where you really saw the biggest difference. There was a small difference--hard to know if it really is significant--1.5% less brain recurrence is a big issue for patients, particularly with triple negative disease. It was a little less contralateral invasive disease, but it wasn't anything significant. So really, what you were preventing was the kind of recurrence we don't want to see, which is distant recurrence. And then if you looked at the distant disease-free survival, the absolute improvement for metastatic disease was 7.1%. Again, the curve separated early and stayed separated over time. Now, overall survival, of course, is the golden endpoint that you want to look at. There were numerically less deaths in the olaparib arm, 59 versus 86 in the placebo arm. Most of these deaths were due to breast cancer. And the hazard ratio is 0.68. Although the p-value was 0.024, that didn't meet the statistical plan, which was a p less than 0.01 in terms of how the statistics can be balanced in this trial. But the overall difference was 3.7%. And of course, there were subgroup analyses done, which showed that everybody benefited. It was impossible to see a difference. And again, only a small number of patients relatively receive platinum, so it's hard to know whether or not that changed the response. In terms of the side effects--you always want to think about side effects--it was exactly what you would have expected from what we [expect] in the metastatic setting. Not a lot of grade III or greater toxicities. Mainly anemia was the most common at 9%, and 5% neutropenia, a little bit increase of grade III fatigue, but only 2%. The rest of the toxicities were all grade I and II. And of note, olaparib does cause nausea, 57% of patients versus 23% reported nausea with olaparib versus placebo. But normally, you can manage this nausea and the anemia by actually dose reducing and first holding and then dose reducing. One of the big questions, of course, with PARP inhibitors is if you're inhibiting repair of DNA, are you causing leukemia--new primary cancers? And it was very encouraging. Again, it's 3 years, so we need to be followed a little bit longer, maybe 5, but it was 0.2% or 0.3%. There was no increase in myelodysplasia or myeloleukemias with the use of the PARP inhibitor, which is really important. And the global quality of life scores were identical. So even with these side effects, they could be managed and didn't impact global quality of life. And then in terms of the paper, the additional information the paper gave is that most of the people who required a transfusion received only one transfusion of red blood cells. So I think with the caveat that there are some additional side effects, they are generally able to be managed well. Quality of life is maintained. And there's a huge early difference in the most important endpoints that we look for in these trials--invasive disease-free survival and most importantly, distant disease-free survival. So definitely history in the making. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. Thank you for sharing these fantastic results from the OlympiA trial. The ECOG-ACRIN Research Group presented EA1131, a study of platinum-based chemotherapy or capecitabine in patients with residual triple negative basal-like breast cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Abstract 605). This interim analysis really highlighted the need for better therapies for this patient population. What are your thoughts on this trial? Dr. Hope Rugo: Well, this, I think, is an important trial. Ingrid Mayer from Vanderbilt designed the trial with ECOG and actually presented the data. There will be a lot more data coming from this study because they collected tumor tissue and are doing a lot of different analyses, which might help us understand the benefits of different treatments in different subgroups of patients with triple negative breast cancer. Now, this trial really focused on patients who have the highest risk disease after neoadjuvant therapy, clinical stage II or III triple negative breast cancer diagnosis. They received the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy. And they had to have tumors that were greater than one centimeter in the breast at the time of surgery or any positive lymph nodes. So this is actually a group of patients who we already know have a high-risk of distant recurrence. They did do an analysis of the tissue using a PAM50 assay to understand which tumors were basal or non-basal like. And patients were randomly assigned to receive capecitabine by the CREATE-X trial, which showed an improvement in overall survival when capecitabine was given to patients with residual triple negative breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in Japan and Korea, versus carboplatin or cisplatin by treating physician discretion (DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1612645). The patients received four cycles every 3 weeks of carbo or cisplatin. Now, one thing that's important to keep in mind is in Japan where the CREATE-X trial was designed in Korea where it also participated, the capecitabine dose was the original U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved dose, where it was a little bit higher, 1,200 milligrams per meter squared twice a day, 2 weeks on, 1 week off. In the U.S., patients don't tolerate this very well. And there is a different metabolism in Asian patients, where they can tolerate a higher dose of 5FU and capecitabine with not as much toxicity due to pharmacogenomics. The patients in the ECOG-ACRIN trial received capecitabine at 1,000 milligrams per meter squared twice daily with the same schedule, which is really all that's tolerated. So the objective of this trial was to see whether or not you could do better or the same if you received a platinum versus capecitabine with the idea that DNA damaging agents work very well in basal-like triple negative breast cancer. So the patients were enrolled in this trial. 415 patients were randomly assigned. And then the data safety monitoring group who were following the results at the interim analysis ended up closing the trial because they found that based on the statistics so far that it was unlikely that the platinum arm would either be better or worse than the capecitabine arm. And they saw more toxicity in the platinum arm. So the trial was closed. And that's the data that was presented. So there was a total of 160 patients who received capecitabine, [and] 148 [patients] who received platinum. Most of the patients had basal-like disease. The age, it was about 52. It's all what you would have expected to see in this patient population. So I don't think we have any concerns about the patient population. The 3-year invasive disease-free survival in patients with basal-like triple negative breast cancer, the primary endpoint of the trial, was identical between the two arms. But actually, discouragingly, it wasn't great. So IDFS for capecitabine was 49% and platinum 42%. So this was actually very disappointing data. And I think it just highlights how we really need to provide better treatment for our patients who don't achieve pathologic complete responses to the best neoadjuvant therapy. It is true that the ECOG-ACRIN trial didn't require that patients receive anthracyclines, but 85% did. So I think that we feel really comfortable that they got good chemotherapy. They looked in the non-basal-like sub-type. And in the non-basal-like sub-type, which are cancers that are more likely to be responsive to capecitabine in the metastatic setting, actually, the outcome, although small numbers, looked better with capecitabine than with getting the platinum-type therapy. And if you looked at non-basal versus basal, regardless of therapy, the patients who had non-basal-like disease did much better than the patients who had basal-like disease, something that we would have guessed, but hasn't been shown before. So I think it was really important, [and] really helps us to identify the patients who need the most intervention. But even the basal group, the IDFS, the non-basal group, it was 55.5%. So better than basal at 46%, but still you got 45% of patients with invasive disease-free survival event over a 3-year medium follow-up. Overall survival at 3 years, also, was disappointing at about 66% for capecitabine and 58% for platinum. So I think that, really, this trial just identified, I think, in a very confirming way how we need to make progress in the treatment of these patients who have residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In terms of toxicity, the platinum-based therapy clearly was more toxic. Most of the toxicity that was seen was grade I and II, as you would expect, but there was more grade III toxicity even with the platinum-type therapy. Again, as you would expect. You get hand-foot syndrome with capecitabine and not with platinum. But there was more of the standard toxicities that you would expect with the platinum or bone marrow suppression, primarily some thrombocytopenia, et cetera. So when they looked overall at the trial population, I mentioned that most had basal sub-type by PAM50. It was 80%. So it is a group of patients where I think even going into neoadjuvant therapy about 80% have basal-like disease. So I think it makes us very interested in the results that we expect to see in the very near future from the KEYNOTE 522 trial, where we've seen an improvement in pathologic complete response, particularly in patients with node positive disease with the addition of pembrolizumab, to standard taxane platinum and anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1910549).  But a very recent press release noted that they have reached their event-free survival endpoint. And that pembrolizumab improves event-free survival. And the importance of this data, which, of course, has not yet been shared, so we have to see what it looks like and what the differences are, is that they had shown earlier at the FDA's ODAC meeting in February of this year that possibly patients who don't achieve a PCR, who received pembrolizumab before and after surgery, had a better outcome than patients who did not receive pembrolizumab and received placebo. So how we incorporate capecitabine into the post-neoadjuvant treatment or other novel agents will very much be a subject of the next few years as we sort this out. But if the pembrolizumab data is indeed exciting--and we'll talk more about the durvalumab data in just a moment--then I think the question would be, what chemotherapy do you give? And based on this trial, there is absolutely no indication for platinum postoperatively in patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy. Capecitabine should be given. But clearly, we need better options for therapy. And this is also being studied with some of the new antibody drug conjugates, like sacituzumab govitecan to see whether or not we can improve outcome in these patients. ASCO Daily News: Right. Well, let's look at Abstract 506. This is the phase II GeparNuevo study. The data presented by the German Breast Group showed that neoadjuvant durvalumab improves long-term outcomes for patients with triple negative breast cancer. What is your takeaway from this study? Dr. Hope Rugo: You know, this was really interesting, and I think unexpected results based on their original presentation. This was a phase II neoadjuvant trial in patients with triple negative breast cancer. And the data by the GBG and Sibylle Loibl, who runs the GBG, had already presented the data from the primary endpoint of this smaller neoadjuvant trial, which was pathologic complete response. And what they did in this trial was they treated patients with a nab-paclitaxel followed by epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. And the patients were randomly assigned to receive the checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab versus placebo. There were 174 patients stratified by a low, medium, or high TILs. And their main endpoint, as I mentioned, was PCR. So this is a secondary endpoint of invasive disease-free survival. A group of patients received 2 weeks of durvalumab as sort of a lead-in first. And they've looked at that group separately. But it's hard to know because it's such a small trial what that means. And nobody is using a lead-in right at the moment. So their primary endpoint, as I mentioned, has been published already in Annals of Oncology in 2019 (DOI: 10.1093/annonc/mdz158). Although numerically there was a higher PCR rate in the durvalumab treated arm, this was not statistically significant. The p-value is in no way significant. And they looked at, in a forest plot, they showed that the patients who had the window seemed to have a higher PCR, but it was hard to justify exactly why that was the case in this group of patients. Now, it's important to keep in mind that the data that we have from KEYNOTE 522, the neoadjuvant trial with pembrolizumab, and IMpassion 31, the trial with the atezolizumab, showed the benefit, particularly in patients with node-positive disease. In this trial, about a third of the patients had stage zero or I breast cancer. So 61 out of the total of 174 patients did not have positive nodes. So we thought the PCR difference really wasn't seen because they had a low-risk population. But now, they're presenting their secondary endpoint of invasive disease-free survival in this group of patients. And what they saw, actually, at a median follow-up of about 44 months, they saw a 12 IDFS events in the durvalumab arm and 22 in the placebo arm. And actually, there were twice as many distant recurrences in the patients treated with placebo versus durvalumab. So 13 versus six events for distant recurrence. So I think that's actually a really important endpoint. And if you looked at the invasive disease-free survival at 3 years, it was 77% for placebo and almost 86%. So almost a 9% difference in favoring the patients who received durvalumab. Pretty dramatic, you know? A hazard ratio of 0.48. And they did have a p-value of 0.0398. So that was quite interesting. And they looked at distant disease-free survival. Numbers are small here, but I think it's a really important endpoint, and overall survival. Overall survival is early to see, but they could see--this is a long follow-up, but it's a small study rather than early--and they showed that overall survival difference was 83.5% in the placebo arm and 95.2% in the durvalumab arm. Again, secondary endpoints with a hazard ratio is 0.24 and, again, a p-value of 0.1. Distant disease-free survival, such an important endpoint, was a huge difference 78.4% versus 91.7%. Again, hazard ratio of 0.31. So pretty dramatic. And when you looked at subgroups of patients, and they looked at PD-L1 positive versus negative. Almost all of the patients had PD-L1 positive disease, so 138 versus 20 that were PD-L1 negative. So it's kind of hard to interpret any of that. And that trial was stratified by stromal TILs anyway. They did show that patients who had a PCR had a better outcome than patients who did not have a PCR. But among the patients who had a PCR, the patients who had durvalumab did better, again, with almost a 10% difference, favoring durvalumab versus placebo. Now, this is a phase II randomized trial, so it's small. And so this is really hypothesis generating. But given the fact that KEYNOTE 522 and IMpassion 31 (NCT03197935) gave the checkpoint inhibitor for a year, and in this situation patients received durvalumab only in the neoadjuvant setting, it suggests that they saw this impact in patients who had a PCR that was greater in patients receiving durvalumab placebo. So it suggests that even though the PCR improvement was not significant, that just the treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor changes long-term outcome. And we know that there's more toxicity by giving longer course checkpoint inhibitor therapy, so we expect that we might see approval of pembrolizumab based on the KEYNOTE 522 trial. And it will bring up the question of whether or not you need a whole year of treatment to improve outcome. And whether or not simply treatment preoperatively might be sufficient, particularly in the patient group who achieves a PCR. It will be, I think, very, very important to be able to evaluate this in order to reduce the toxicity, both the physical toxicity, as well as financial toxicity from use of checkpoint inhibitors in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Also, we know that a third of these patients had stage I disease. And I think we really need to look at the larger trials quite carefully to understand whether or not all patients need checkpoint inhibitors who have triple negative disease. Or whether or not we could more correctly focus on the patients who have higher risk disease, node-positive disease who've been shown to have less tumor infiltrating lymphocytes than patients who have less burdensome disease at diagnosis. ASCO Daily News: Right. So what about the subset analysis in Abstract 1011 that looked at outcomes in patients who are age 65 and older in the phase III ASCENT study of sacituzumab in metastatic triple negative breast cancer? Can you tell us about ASCENT and the toxicities associated with this antibody drug conjugate in this older patient population? Dr. Hope Rugo: Well, ASCENT, of course, is a practice-changing trial as well. It led to the final formal approval of sacituzumab govitecan for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer in the second line or greater earlier this year after accelerated approval was granted earlier in 2020. This antibody drug conjugate is given 2 weeks on, 1 week off. And the primary toxicity is neutropenia, and then to a lesser degree diarrhea. But overall, the drug is quite well-tolerated. In the overall parent ASCENT trial, as the listeners know, showed an improvement in progression-free and overall survival at the first analysis. Very impressive data with sacituzumab in these heavily pretreated triple negative breast cancer population, compared to treatment of physician choice with standard chemotherapy options, where about 50% of the patients received eribulin, which had already been shown to be better in terms of overall survival compared to other chemotherapy in the subset of patients treated in the past with eribulin who had triple negative disease. So at ASCO this year, Kevin Kalinsky presented on behalf of our authorship group a subset analysis looking at patients who were age 65 and older to better understand whether there was more toxicity and as much benefit in this group of patients. So important when we're looking at novel therapies. So overall, there were 44 patients treated with sacituzumab and 46 with treatment of physician choice who were age 65 or older. Most of the patients had received two to three lines of therapy. And about 40% had received greater than three lines of therapy. The median prior anticancer regimen was pretty similar to the overall group. Most of the patients had initially been diagnosed with triple negative disease, but really, interestingly, about a third of the patients had ER-positive or something else disease initially and were triple negative on biopsy in the metastatic setting. So an interesting subgroup of patients that were also looked at separately and appeared to benefit to the same degree as the triple negative patients. So we looked at progression-free survival in this group of patients looking at patients under age 65 and age 65 and older. A hazard ratio was even greater in the age 65 or older for--it's hard. These are subset comparisons, but the hazard ratio is 0.22 going from 2.4 months with standard therapy to 7.1 months with sacituzumab. The hazard ratio in the younger group was 0.46. But still a big difference in progression-free survival. And then in terms of overall survival in the age 65 and older group, it went from 8.2 to 15.3 months with a hazard ratio of 0.37. And so also really quite dramatic. And overall response was also significantly increased with, in fact, the only responses seen in the age 65 or older group seen in the sacituzumab group. There were no complete or partial responses in the treatment of physician choice group. Of course, really important to look at safety in our older patients because we know that generally there is more toxicity in that group of patients. But actually looking at grade III or greater toxicity, keeping in mind it was 49 [patients] in the older group versus 209 patients in the younger group, there was no difference in grade III or greater toxicities. There were more dose reductions. So 35% reduced their dose versus 19% older versus younger. But there was no difference in adverse events that led to discontinuation between the younger and older group. So that was really encouraging. We see this in almost all trials that older patients have more dose reductions and that was seen here as well. And we also looked at this very small subset of patients who are age 75 or older versus age 65 or older. And the rates of adverse events were similar, albeit smaller number of patients. There was, if you looked at specific treatment-related adverse events that led to dose reduction, it was a neutropenia, fatigue, diarrhea, febrile neutropenia in a small number, 6% versus zero in the treatment of physician choice and nausea. So it's helpful to know what those toxicities are when you're thinking about treating these patients in clinical practice. And in a patient who might be a little less strong, a little older, more comorbidities, so slightly more frail, I would consider starting potentially at a 3/4 of the dose and then going up if they tolerate it well, versus starting at the full dose and getting a lot of toxicity. But this was really encouraging data that showed that you can give the drug to patients who are older and even elderly at age 75 or greater. So that was good to see. And then Lisa Carey presented additional data looking at patients who were treated in the second line or greater because the formal approval by the FDA is in second or greater line. But most of the data looked at patients who were treated in the third or greater line. So you were supposed to have at least two chemotherapies for advanced disease, but you could have had one in the early stage setting if your progression occurred within 12 months. So there were 33 and 32 patients in the sacituzumab and treatment of physician arm, respectively, who had a recurrence within 12 months of neo or adjuvant chemotherapy. They got one line of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. And then they were randomly assigned on the ASCENT trial. And as you would expect, tiny numbers, right? 33 and 32 patients. But you get a lot of events in this patient population. The PFS was much greater in patients getting sacituzumab than treatment of physician choice. Hazard ratio of 0.41. And also, if you looked at overall survival, it was double. The hazard ratio is 0.51, even in the second line setting. I think it's really interesting to look to see what the toxicity is relative to the lines of therapy. But because the numbers are so small, it's really hard to look at this now. We'll see more data on toxicity when we see data in the first line, as well as the post-neoadjuvant setting in ongoing trials. And I think that will help us a lot to understand what I think we see in the current clinical trials and in practice, which is that patients who are treated in this second line setting have less hematologic toxicity as well as GI toxicity and need less growth factor intervention, et cetera. And I expect that we'll see that in the post-neoadjuvant setting as well. These numbers are too small to really look at any differences in toxicity. But all of this data I think was incredibly encouraging for us in terms of the use of sacituzumab in patients with metastatic triple negative disease, as well as the expansion to the first line and to post-neoadjuvant setting. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. Investigators of the phase III MINDACT trial, that's Abstract 500, evaluated the survival of patients with an ultra low risk 70 gene signature. How will MINDACT inform clinical practice? And do you think this study might guide more appropriate choices of chemotherapy in women with node-negative or one to three node-positive disease? Dr. Hope Rugo: Well, how MINDACT will inform clinical practice is a very big question. And it already has informed clinical practice identifying patients who are better candidates for chemotherapy and endocrine therapy versus endocrine therapy alone who have stage I and II hormone receptor-positive early stage breast cancer based on their primary outcome results. This particular analysis was something different. So we think about using this 70 gene score and the recurrence score from the TAILORx trial (DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1804710) and RxPONDER to try and identify which patients need more therapy versus less therapy. Now, we also know that these scores have some prognostic impact. Clinically, we mainly have used them to decide who should get chemotherapy in addition to endocrine therapy. This trial looked at a different way to use a gene expression scoring system. It's really to identify which patients need less. Given the fact that your middle of the line therapy is endocrine therapy, which patients do we know who will do very, very well with any endocrine therapy and don't need extended duration endocrine therapy? That's really the question here. So they looked at the patients who were in the MINDACT trial and used data published by my colleague, Laura Esserman who looked at a cohort of patients retrospectively and found that patients who had an ultra low score in MINDACT. And that's a score greater than 0.355 where plus 1 is the lowest end of low risk, and minus 1 is the highest end of high-risk, so greater than 0.355. She identified a group of patients who did well, regardless of whether they received tamoxifen or not apparently in this retrospective long-term outcome where there was 15-year follow-up. So they use that data to go into the MINDACT population and to try and understand which patients benefit. And the MINDACT is a much higher risk group of patients. So if you looked at that original trial that Laura Esserman published, these patients had screen detected cancers. And in fact, the 70 gene signature low and ultra low-risk tumors are, as you would expect, over-represented in screen detected cancers. So you've got this excellent survival regardless of treatment. So how did they apply to MINDACT? So in MINDACT, patients were randomly assigned, of course, who had clinical low, genomic high, or clinical high genomic low to receive chemotherapy or not. In this situation, you're really looking at the patients who have genomic ultra low disease. So most of those patients would not be getting chemotherapy because they would already have ultra low disease. So what they found actually when they looked at the overall population of MINDACT, 6,700 or so patients, they found 15% of patients or 1,000 patients fell into this ultra low category. And if then you looked at the patients who were high-risk, it was 36%. And patients who fell into the big low-risk group, it was about 49%, so about half of the population of patients. So they looked at the different metastasis-free interval rates in patients who had genomic low and ultra low-risk disease, regardless of the treatment the patients receive. They all receive endocrine therapy, remember? So they actually found that in patients who were ultra low versus low-risk, that the hazard ratio is 0.65, showing that patients who had ultra low-risk--remember, this was 1,000 patients at 8 years--there was only 36 events. So they had a 97% 8-year distant metastasis-free interval, compared to 94.5% for low-risk and 89.2 in high-risk disease. They looked at breast cancer-specific survival rates as well. And for ultra low-risk in 1,000 patients, there were exactly eight events. 99.6% 8-year breast cancer-specific survival. So really, quite remarkable. So clinical high-risk tumors tend to have larger size, higher grade, be node-positive. We already know that. For the 1,000 genomic ultra low-risk patients, about almost 70% were greater than 50 years. 80% were node negative. 81% had tumors that were T1, so up to two centimeters. And most of them, except for 4%, were grade I and II. 97% were hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative. Only 14% of patients who had ultra low-risk disease received chemotherapy in MINDACT. And most of the rest received endocrine therapy. Some actually didn't receive endocrine therapy. 16% had no adjuvant systemic treatment at all. So if you looked at the genomic ultra low-risk patients and divided them into clinical low-risk and clinical high-risk, there was really no difference in the events overall, a little bit less 8-year distant metastases-free survival, but not much of a difference. So really, a quite remarkable outcome. Now, what you want to know, of course, then is, does it make a difference if you get endocrine therapy at all? And they looked at the patients who had chemotherapy versus no chemotherapy. And as you would expect, it made no difference. Again, it was a tiny number of patients. But if you looked at endocrine therapy versus no endocrine therapy, it was hard to tell. Because, again, no adjuvant systemic therapy was only 157 patients. There were four events. And for the patients, 685 patients who got endocrine therapy, there were 23 events. So the 8-year metastasis-free interval was identical, but there just aren't enough patients in that no adjuvant systemic therapy group to really understand. So what we know is ultra low-risk defines a group of patients who have excellent outcomes. Does it tell us that they don't need adjuvant systemic therapy? No. Eight years really isn't enough time, unfortunately, in is group because 50% of recurrences occur after five years and out to 20 plus years. We have to keep in mind the Early Breast Cancer Trials Group data showing how many recurrences occurred after five years of endocrine therapy. But in this group of patients who have ultra low-risk disease, they clearly do not benefit from chemotherapy. And I think that's regardless of their clinical risk. And it's likely that 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy is absolutely all those patients would ever need. If you have a small cancer that's ultra low-risk, could you get by with less than 5 years of endocrine therapy in a patient with a lot of toxicity? Potentially. And I think that's a really important bit of information to take back into clinical practice when you're talking to patients about the duration of endocrine therapy. But a stage I tumor or stage II with ultra low-risk disease, in general, I would treat for 5 years. I think it's important to keep in mind that premenopausal women, even with ultra low-risk stage II disease, have an ongoing risk of recurrence. And I still think that those patients should be treated with a varying function suppression and aromatase inhibitor if tolerated and tamoxifen otherwise because our very young patients tend to have higher risk of recurrence over time. And it's very hard to separate them out in these studies. Interestingly, there are a few young women who have ultra low-risk disease. So I think this really helps us understand yet another impact of genomic tests, which is who needs less therapy, not just who needs more. ASCO Daily News: Great. That's good to hear. Well, finally, the theme of the Annual Meeting was equity. And in Abstract 1092, you and your colleagues at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) looked at decreased enrollment of patients with advanced lobular breast cancer compared to ductal breast cancer in interventional clinical trials. Can you tell us about this study? Dr. Hope Rugo: Yes, this was a really interesting evaluation. My colleague surgeon Rita Mukhtar at UCSF actually led this evaluation with a very good student who's working with us on some of our research trials. And the idea was that we had observed anecdotally, as have others, that patients with invasive lobular cancer tend to be less likely to meet criteria for clinical trials. So they don't have measurable disease as much. We tend to see sclerotic bone lesions, diffuse infiltration without measurable disease. And it can be much, much more difficult to meet the criteria for clinical trials. So actually, what my colleagues did in this trial is look at whether or not patients with lobular breast cancer are underrepresented in clinical trials. And so they looked at the proportion of interventional stage IV clinical trials that used RECIST in clinicaltrials.gov. And then actually looked at the patients who have RECIST measurable disease who have lobular cancer. And it's really interesting. I mean, we just have a lot less RECIST measurable disease. And in the UCSF cancer registry, patients who were enrolled in clinical trials, if you looked at invasive lobular cancer were markedly decreased if you compare it to patients with other sub-types of breast cancer. So we think that that's probably due to the requirement for measurable disease. And that what we should do in patients who have metastatic lobular cancer is develop trials that are specifically for lobular cancer that focus on the unique biology. And there's a lot of work going on now looking at that biology. And allow patients to enroll based on their disease control rates rather than response. So that we don't require RECIST measurable disease since that's hard to come by in invasive lobular cancer. So I think it's a really important area. It's about 15% of invasive breast cancers. We see a lot of lobular cancer in the metastatic setting. And I think it's unfortunate not to be able to enroll these patients in clinical trials. There is a lot of interest in the cooperative groups in the United States in Europe and in Asia, of course, in trying to do trials that are focused on addressing the needs of patients with lobular cancer, both in the early and late-stage setting.

​Сегодня в эфире Resonance на MEGAPOLIS FM с нами Руслан Гордиков, он же музыкант RUGO из Вышгорода, это в десяти километрах от Киева. Записывать микстейпы, в дальнейшем экспериментировать и создавать собственные композиции Руслан начал больше 10 лет назад. В 2012-м дебютировал с синглом на петербургском лейбле monoclock, и ещё через год закончил первый альбом для лондонского apparel music. Дальше последовал перерыв, длившийся почти 6 лет, и мы особенно рады сообщить, что именно для Resonance Руслан RUGO прерывает длительное молчание — в сегодняшнем миксе мы услышим его новый звук, от техно и электро до дабстепа и классических композиций 90-х.

This month's episode is devoted to breast cancer awareness month. We talk to second-year medical student April Liang about her research project on breast mammography data and her goal to help improve breast cancer screening. We also interview Dr. Hope Rugo, a UCSF medical oncology and hematologist, who directs the UCSF Breast Oncology Clinical Trials program. Dr. Rugo gives perspectives on the latest advances in breast cancer research and patient care at UCSF. Music: Sneaker Chase by Podington Bear. Licensed under CC BY-NC 3.0.
