In this conference update video, Prof. Valentina Guarneri, Prof. Matteo Lambertini, and Prof. Federico Rojo summarise the key points presented at the highly anticipated EBCC-14 Industry Satellite Symposium and review the current and future treatment landscape for ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, with a focus on the metastatic luminal subtype.

 

Topics of discussion include:

  • Overview of the ESMO metastatic breast cancer living guidelines
  • Impact of endocrine resistance and sensitivity
  • The benefit of biomarker-selected endocrine-based therapies in ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
  • ESR1 mutation: clinical significance and testing strategies

 

Clinical Takeaways

  • Biomarker-selected endocrine therapies show greater PFS benefits in specific patient subgroups
  • Elacestrant, the first oral SERD to obtain FDA & EMA approval, demonstrates optimal efficacy in ESR1-mutated ER+/HER2- mBC following CDK4/6i treatment
  • Capivasertib, FDA-approved based on the CAPItello-291 study for AKT-pathway altered population, awaits EMA approval as of March 2024
  • ESR1 mutation, holding both prognostic and predictive value, warrants testing upon ET recurrence or progression, using tissue or liquid biopsy

Educational Objectives

  • Conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying causes of HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer progression (with a focus on the metastatic luminal subtype)
  • Know the role and be able to implement genomic testing appropriately
  • Implement optimisation of treatment selection, and make the appropriate sequencing decisions in the context of shared decision making
