Background: Uncommon histologies are over-represented among high-risk breast cancer (BC) and denote an area with limited trial data and of significant unmet medical need. To better understand trial outcomes in this group and identify signals of tumor responsiveness, we report pathologic complete response (pCR) and early event-free survival (EFS) by disease subtype in the I-SPY2 trial. Additionally, the I-SPY2 trial currently utilizes a combination of tumor molecular signature and receptor status to determine response predictive subtype (RPS) first developed from 987 I-SPY2 patients [Wolf et al, Cancer Cell 2022]. We report disease response rates for those who received what is now known to be optimal RPS guided therapy. Methods: The I-SPY2 platform trial tests novel agents given neo-adjuvantly with a chemotherapy backbone in high-risk BC (HER2 positive, triple negative and high molecular risk estrogen receptor positive BC). Histologic images of research biopsies, local biopsy and surgical pathology reports were reviewed centrally by I-SPY pathologists. Receptor subtype distribution and pCR rates were summarized; and EFS was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Association between pCR and EFS was evaluated using the Cox proportional hazard model with significance assessed by the log rank test. Results: 144/2118 (7%) of I-SPY2 participants were identified with metaplastic (60), lobular (55), mucinous (9), micropapillary (8), neuroendocrine (4) and other (8) BCS. Tumor receptor status, pCR rate and EFS by tumor type are shown in the Table. For the full cohort, pCR was associated with better EFS (hazard ratio (95% CI): 0.12 (0.02 - 0.88), p = 0.01). Within metaplastic (metapBC) 11/32 (34%) and 5/28 (18%) patients had a pCR with or without checkpoint blockade, respectively. By RPS group, 9 of 18 (50%) (13 metapBC, 3 other, 2 lobular) in the HER2-Immune+ group who received RPS optimized therapy had a pCR. In this group 6/13 (46%) with metapBC had a pCR. In the HER2+ driven RPS groups, pCR rate in the HER+HER2orBasal was 88% (7/8) and 0% (0/3) in the HER2+Luminal. Conclusions: High pCR rates observed in metapBC and other among subsets of often difficult to treat BC subtypes support novel approaches and provide a roadmap for future study of uncommon BCs. Outcomes were improved when therapy matched RPS vulnerabilities. Participants presenting with uncommon BC subtypes will be prospectively identified in the I-SPY2.2 trial to further develop effective approaches for this group.
