Background: Little is known about the toxicity of trastuzumab (T) or of trastuzumab + lapatinib (T + L), approved in the advanced setting, in older pts. We have performed a sub-analysis of the Adjuvant Lapatinib and/or Trastuzumab Treatment Optimisation (ALTTO) trial focused on treatment completion and toxicity of T and T+L in older pts (aged ≥65 years (yr)). Methods: The ALTTO trial (NCT00490139, NCCTG N063D) randomised 8381 pts with early HER2+ BC into 4 arms and we included the T and T+L arms in our analysis. Eligible pts for our study were those having received at least one dose of assigned treatment. Treatment completion was evaluated through the rate of temporary treatment interruptions (TTI), permanent treatment discontinuations (PTD) and lapatinib dose reductions (LDR). Toxicity was evaluated via a selected set of adverse events of interest (AEIs). Risk factors for TTI, PTD, LDR and AEIs were assessed, including comorbidities and polypharmacy at baseline (defined as use 5 or more co-medications) and AEIs during treatment. Results: A total of 430 pts≥65-year-old were identified for this sub-analysis, out of a total of 4190 pts with a median age of 68 yrs (range 65-80). Older pts were more likely to have comorbidities (70% vs 38%). Treatment completion was worse among older pts in the T+L arm but not in the T arm (Table). AEIs were more common in the T+L arm in all patients, with older patients having higher AEI rates (78.04% in older vs 63.38% in younger), particularly diarrhea (60.75% vs 38.0%). Identified risk factors (multivariate) for worse treatment completion in the T and T+ L arms included concomitant use of chemotherapy and the occurrence of grade 3 adverse events, among others. Conclusions: T + L has worse treatment completion and is more toxic in older patients, while T was well tolerated. Identifiable risk factors at baseline and during the course of treatment could be used to aid in regimen selection and management for both T and T + L in their respective indications.
