Zanidatamab in Patients with Early Stage HER2-positive Breast Cancer: The NeoZanHER Phase 2 Single-Arm Open-Label Trial

Listed in NCBI GEO

Strategies are needed to avoid chemotherapy in early stage HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC).

Description

We conducted a neoadjuvant therapy trial with zanidatamab, a dual HER2-directed bispecific antibody, in patients with 1-3 cm, node-negative HER2+ BC. Primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR).

Secondary endpoints were radiographic response by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. US and MRI, pathologic response by residual cancer burden (RCB), rate of adverse events, feasibility of accrual and biomarkers of response. Fifteen patients with HER2 IHC 3+, and 5 with HER2 IHC 2+/ISH+ BC were enrolled.

Patients received zanidatamab 20 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 6 (n=11) or 10 doses (n=9). Fourteen patients also received endocrine therapy. At 6 weeks, there was a significant decrease in tumor size and volume.

At surgery, six patients (30%) had pCR, meeting the prespecified pCR target, and four had limited RCB (RCB-1; 20%). Treatment was well tolerated. All patients with pCR had HER2 IHC 3+ tumors, ERBB2 amplification on WES, PAM50 HER2-high subtype, and a trend towards higher HER2 mRNA expression (p=0.06).

In conclusion, de-escalation to HER2-targeted therapy alone may be feasible. Further research is needed to refine patient selection.
