Abstract OT1-03-03: Phase II, open label, randomized, biomarker study of immune-mediated mechanism of action of neoadjuvant subcutaneous trastuzumab in patients with operable or locally advanced/Inflammatory HER2-positive breast cancer. ImmunHER trial on behalf of the Gruppo Oncologico Italiano di Ricerca Clinica (GOIRC)
Abstract
Background: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been reported to be associated with increased therapeutic efficacy of trastuzumab in the (neo)adjuvant setting for HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). Subcutaneous (SC) trastuzumab has been observed to act at different immunologic levels than IV trastuzumab. Therefore, by modifying the modality of administration of trastuzumab, it could be possible to interfere with different pathways of the immune system and exert a favorable immunomodulation in HER2-positive BC.
Trial design: In this non-comparative, phase II, neoadjuvant, randomized study, patients will be treated with FEC chemotherapy (fluorouracil 500 mg/m2; epirubicin 75 mg/m2; cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2) q21 for 3 cycles. Then, they will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive: docetaxel (75 mg/m2) plus pertuzumab (840 mg loading dose, then 420 mg) plus IV trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg) q21 for 4 cycles (Group A) or, docetaxel plus pertuzumab plus SC trastuzumab (fixed dose of 600 mg) q21 for 4 cycles (Group B). After surgery, study patients will receive trastuzumab q21 x 14 cycles using the same formulation (SC or IV) of the preoperative phase.
Eligibility criteria: Patients must have previously untreated, T2-4d primary HER2-positive BC with no metastatic disease. Other inclusion criteria are: age 18 or older; ECOG performance status 0-1; availability of tumor tissue from diagnostic biopsy; normal left ventricular ejection fraction; normal organ and marrow function.
Specific aims: The main objective of this trial is to evaluate variations of host immune response parameters to either trastuzumab SC or trastuzumab IV given in combination with pertuzumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment of patients with HER2-positive BC. Tumor samples obtained at diagnosis and at definitive surgery will be centrally analyzed for TILs. Blood samples will be also collected during study treatment for tumor-specific lymphocyte cell activity (TLA) analysis. Feasibility, efficacy, safety and health-related quality of life will be also evaluated.
Statistical methods: The primary endpoint is post-surgery pathologic TIL rate on residual disease. The threshold for classifying subjects with high TILs, or not, is defined as equal to 15%, according to the median TIL rate observed in primary HER2-positive tumors. Because this is a phase II study with 2 non-comparative arms, Simon's optimal 2-stage design will be used for each of the 2 study groups. For each arm we assume: p1 = 0.4, expected rate of subjects with high TILs on residual disease, p0 = 0.1, lowest limit of the subject rate (alpha= 0.05; beta= 0.20).
Present accrual and target accrual: A total of 60 patients (first stage: 16 patients) will be enrolled from multiple institutions. From November 29, 2016 to June 11, 2017, 34 patients have been recruited.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
