Background: The luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype of TNBC has a low pathologic complete response (pCR) rate after NAT. We determined the pCR rate of the enzalutamide and paclitaxel (ZT) regimen for pts with anthracycline-insensitive AR⁺ TNBC (NCT02689427), and related biomarkers. Methods: ARTEMIS (NCT02276443) is a non-randomized trial to determine if NAT can be used to personalized therapy. Pts received 4 cycles of doxorubicin-based NAT (AC). Pts with insensitive disease by imaging were offered clinical trials as the second phase of NAT based upon molecular profiling of pre-treatment biopsies. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of AR⁺≥10% was the threshold for selecting ZT (enzalutamide 160 or 120 mg PO qD + paclitaxel 80 mg/m² qW for 12 cycles). pCR was determined by surgery after NAT. Trial had two-stage Phase II design, and we report the completed first stage. We evaluated the concordance between Vanderbilt LAR subtype by molecular profiling (microarray and RNAseq) and IHC %AR⁺ cells. Frequency of PI3K pathway alterations within the LAR subtype was assessed. Results: 267 pts had tumors profiled by IHC, 220 by microarray, 187 by RNAseq and 197 by whole exome sequencing. 96 pts had post-AC RNAseq. LAR scores from both RNAseq and microarray profiling (n = 139) were highly concordant (R = 0.89, P < 0.001) and identified ~10% of TNBCs tested as LAR. The %AR⁺ cells from IHC correlated with LAR subtype scores according to RNAseq (R = 0.6, P < 0.001), with a cut-point of ≥30% AR⁺ having the best concordance with LAR subtype. Unlike other subtypes, by serial profiling, LAR TNBCs did not change subtype signatures after exposure to AC. LAR TNBCs had low rates of pCR (23%) and high rates of PI3K pathway activating aberrations (85%); however PI3K aberrations did not correlate with pCR. Seventeen patients with AC-insensitive TNBC received ZT. Five of 15 patients (33.3%) had responses (pCR or RCB-I). Toxicities are Grade (Gr) 4 syncope (n = 1), Gr3 abnormal liver function (n = 2), Gr3 neutropenia (n = 4). IHC & LAR subtype scores did not statistically associate with response to ZT (P = 0.8, P = 0.9). However, all responders to ZT had an upregulated androgen response pathway (ssGSEA Z > 1) as measured by transcriptomic analysis in pre-treatment biopsies analysis (P = 0.05, ppv = 0.56, npv = 1). Conclusions: The LAR TNBC subtype has a low pCR rate to NAT. Among pts with AC-insensitive TNBC, baseline upregulated androgen response pathway and LAR subtype may benefit from the ZT regimen, potentially by PI3K targeting.
