Résumé

BRCA1/2-related metastatic breast cancers (mBC) are sensitive to DNA-damage agents and show high tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes. We hypothesized that the association between pembrolizumab and carboplatin could be active in BRCA-related mBC. In this phase II Simon's design multicenter single-arm study, BRCA1/2-related mBC patients received carboplatin at area under the curve 6 every 3 weeks for six courses associated with 200 mg pembrolizumab every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary aim at first stage was overall response rate (ORR) ≥70%. Disease control rate (DCR), time to progression (TTP), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) were the secondary aims. Among 22 patients enrolled at the first stage, 5 BRCA1 and 17 BRCA2, 16 (76%) were luminal tumors and 6 (24%) triple-negative BC (TNBC). In 21 patients, ORR and DCR were 43% and 76% (47% and 87% in luminal, 33% and 50% in TNBC), respectively. TTP was 7.1 months, DOR was 6.3 months, and median OS was not reached. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs occurred in 5/22 patients (22.7%). Since the primary aim was not met, the study was terminated at the first stage. Although the primary aim was not reached, data on efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus carboplatin in first-line visceral disease BRCA-related luminal mBC were provided and they need to be further investigated.

BACKGROUND
BRCA1/2-related metastatic breast cancers (mBC) are sensitive to DNA-damage agents and show high tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes. We hypothesized that the association between pembrolizumab and carboplatin could be active in BRCA-related mBC.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
In this phase II Simon's design multicenter single-arm study, BRCA1/2-related mBC patients received carboplatin at area under the curve 6 every 3 weeks for six courses associated with 200 mg pembrolizumab every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary aim at first stage was overall response rate (ORR) ≥70%. Disease control rate (DCR), time to progression (TTP), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) were the secondary aims.
RESULTS
Among 22 patients enrolled at the first stage, 5 BRCA1 and 17 BRCA2, 16 (76%) were luminal tumors and 6 (24%) triple-negative BC (TNBC). In 21 patients, ORR and DCR were 43% and 76% (47% and 87% in luminal, 33% and 50% in TNBC), respectively. TTP was 7.1 months, DOR was 6.3 months, and median OS was not reached. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs occurred in 5/22 patients (22.7%). Since the primary aim was not met, the study was terminated at the first stage.
CONCLUSIONS
Although the primary aim was not reached, data on efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus carboplatin in first-line visceral disease BRCA-related luminal mBC were provided and they need to be further investigated.
