Use of Oncotype Dx® Testing Breast SSG meeting 10 th July 2015 Dr Rebecca Bowen
Prognostic and predictive markers used in breast cancer management Prognostic (recurrence risk) Axillary node status Histologic type/grade Tumour size Patient age Lymphatic/Vascular invasion ER/PR status HER2 status NPI/ Adjuvant Online/ NHS Predict Genomic assays: Endopredict Prosigna uPA PAI1 Oncotype DX ® Predictive (treatment benefit) ER/PR status HER2 neu status Oncotype DX ® test Predict treatment benefit Estimate the risk of disease recurrence
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 (DG10) April 2015: NHS patients can access!
The Onco type DX ® Assay The only multi-gene assay incorporated into all major guidelines to predict adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in ER+, HER2- EBC Quantifies risk of recurrence as a continuous variable and predicts responsiveness to both tamoxifen and chemotherapy NCCN Guidelines ®1 >0.5cm, node negative, N1mi Predicts the risk of recurrence and may be used to identify patients likely to benefit from tamoxifen or chemotherapy ASCO ® Guidelines 2 Node negative Provides additional prognostic and/or predictive information to complement pathology assessment and to predict response to adjuvant chemotherapy ESMO 3 Node negative Provides not only prognostic but also predictive information regarding the utility of cytotoxic therapy in addition to endocrine therapy St Gallen Consensus 4 Node negative, node positive Recommended as an option for guidance of chemotherapy decisions in patients at intermediate risk* of distant recurrence NICE 5 Node negative 1.NCCN Practice Guidelines in Oncology.

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, HER2 negative: – Grade 1: > 70mm – Grade 2:> 20mm – Grade 3: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
