Which patients should we considered for a non-anthracycline based anti Her 2 alternative option? Patients with cardiac risk factors or underlying cardiac disease Patients where the absolute benefit of adjuvant therapy may be low T1a, T1b tumors Older patients (?>70 years of age)

Presented By Martine Piccart-Gebhart at 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting First results from the phase III ALTTO trial (BIG 02-06; NCCTG 063D) comparing one year of anti-HER2 therapy with lapatinib alone (L), trastuzumab alone (T), their sequence (TL) or their combination (L + T) in the adjuvant treatment of HER2-positive <br />early breast cancer (EBC) Presented By Martine Piccart-Gebhart at 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting

MAIN DIFFERENCES IN AEs BY TREATMENT ARM Presented By Martine Piccart-Gebhart at 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting
Bottom Line There is no role for Lapatinib in the adjuvant setting Why is ALTTO negative? The ‘Ceiling Effect’ OS > 95% in the control arm low risk patient population very effective and well-tolerated control arm Dose Delivery in the experimental arm Is it related to MOA for TKI
Outline Overview of Adjuvant EBC Her 2 Positive Trials Duration of Therapy < 1cm Node Negative Role of Non-Anthracycline based chemotherapy Incorporation of other Anti Her2 Therapies Future Directions and Concluding Remarks
Future Questions in EBC Which is the best combination of targeted agents? Lapatinib and Trastuzumab Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab ?T-DM1 and Pertuzumab Do we need to offer patients one year of Herceptin or one year of combined blockade? ? Role of anti-HER2 agents in HER2 1+ or 2+ patients
Improving the outcome of EBC patients A Cost-Effective Approach Which patients are ‘cured’ with surgery alone? Which patients are cured with surgery and traditional chemotherapy? Which patients require trastuzumab, only for a short duration i.e. 9 weeks or 6 months? Which patients don’t benefit from chemotherapy and trastuzumab?
Conclusion There is continued and maintained benefit with adjuvant trastuzumab Duration of Trastuzumab remains to be fully defined At present one year is standard of treatment Identifying the patients who are at a greater risk Address those who remain at high risk The focus needs to be on how we can gain better outcomes with less toxicity Integration of novel therapies vs. conventional traditional chemotherapy
