In this on-demand Tweetorial video from BREAST CANCER CONNECT, esteemed expert Dr Aditya Bardia presents a patient with ER+/HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, exploring the entire diagnostic and treatment process.

 

This is the second Tweetorial in a series on breast cancer management. Catch up on the first video to hear Dr Paolo Tarantino present a patient case with ER+/HER2- de novo metastatic breast cancer. 

 

Clinical Takeaways

  • Elacestrant improves PFS vs SOC in patients with ESR1m, irrespective of PIK3CAm or HER2-low status

  • Hyperglycemia is a target side effect of the PIK3CA inhibitors and needs to be monitored closely

  • T-DXd can be considered for patients with HER2-low mBC after ≥1 line of ChT

  • Recognise the efficacy and safety profiles of SERDs for patients with advanced or metastatic BC, and understand their place in the treatment landscape for patients with BC
  • Implement optimization of treatment selection, and make the appropriate sequencing decisions
  • Be able to identify and manage adverse events

Dr. Bardia is an internationally renowned breast oncologist known for his pioneering clinical and translational research in the field of cancer therapeutics, particularly antibody drug conjugates. Dr. Bardia led the development of sacituzumab govitecan, the first ADC approved for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer, as well as other including trastuzumab deruxtecan and datapotamab deruxtecan. Dr. Bardia also led the clinical development of elacestrant, the first oral SERD approved for patients with metastatic HR+ positive breast cancer. In translational collaboration with various labs, identified role of ESR1 mutations in mediating endocrine resistance, RB1 mutations in mediating CDK 4/6i resistance and TOP1 mutations in mediating ADC resistance. Besides cutting-edge research, Dr. Bardia is highly regarded among peers as an excellent mentor and strong advocate for academic trainees and junior faculty members.
