🚨Wisdom Trial🚨
🔹randomized women to risk based bca screening vs annual screening
📍risk based: 9 genes, PRS, BCSC v2 model➡️ 4 risk groups guided frequency of screening
✅ rate of stage IIB ca noninferior to annual screening
🔹rate of breast biopsies was not lower

📣lidERA trial📣
🔸Pts with HR+ eBC high/medium risk ➡️ giredestrant vs SOC ET x 5 years
🔸At 32 m, iDFS events 6.7% vs 9.4%, HR 0.7, p=.0014
🔸Arthralgias similar
📍1st trial to report benefit of SERD in the adjuvant tx
📋Looking forward to further data & other trials including CDK4/6i & SERDs💊

🚨HER2CLIMB05 🚨
🔹Pts HER2+ MBC s/p THP x 4-8 cycles ➡️ HP + tucatinib vs HP
🔹PFS 24.9m vs 16.3m p<.0001
🔹HR- 24.9m vs 12.6m
🔹HR+ 25m vs 18m
⚠️ Increase in diarrhea and hepatic AEs
🔹Control arm had inferior PFS when compared to DB-09 control arm

📍HER2+ T-DXd+P is likely the new 1L SOC but many questions remain in HR+ pts, QOL, & potential maintenance strategies
📍TNBC SG+pembro likely new 1L SOC but we need more therapies for these patients

🔸 ctDNA+ TNBC pts after NAT strong predictor of recurrence HR 9.5 CI 2.6-35 p=0.0006
🔸 ctDNA+ in TNBC pts after NAT has the potential to become a strong prognostic marker that could guide adjuvant therapy decision making

Lots of buzz around TBCRC 040 PREDICT-DNA trial presented by Dr. Natasha Hunter 🐝 ➰
➡️ Among pts w/ Stg II-III HER2+ & TNBC receiving NAT ctDNA may be may be a better biomarker than pCR for longterm outcomes 🧬
🔸54% ctDNA <100 ppm after NAT
🔸NPV for residual disease 60%
