RAD001 Single Agent Phase II Study of Daily and Weekly Dosing in Advanced Breast Cancer

48 patients with ≤ 1 prior therapy for metastatic disease1 • 33 received RAD001 - 10 mg/day

- 1 CR, 3 PR, 15 SD (4 HER2+), 12% ORR

- Rash (67%), cough (56%), stomatitis, nausea, and diarrhea (44% each), pneumonitis (39%), neutropenia (61%)

• 16 received RAD001 70 mg weekly- 0 PR, 4 SD

- Rash (63%), cough (59%), diarrhea and nausea (53% each), stomatitis (38%), pneumonitis (41%), neutropenia (69%)

Major implications RAD001 has single-agent antitumor activity in pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer Daily dosing with 10 mg appeared superior to 70 mg weekly schedule in agreement with phase I pharmacodynamic2,3 and modeling studies4

Phase I RAD001 + Weekly Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in HER2+ Patients With Prior Resistance to Trastuzumab

31 patients, 96% trastuzumab resistant; median 5 prior regimens1

• 6 RAD001 5 mg daily

- 1 CR, 4 PR (1 NE); RR = 83%, DCR = 83%

• 15 RAD001 10 mg daily

- 1 PR, 6 SD, 1 PD (7 too early); RR = 13%, DCR = 88%

• 10 RAD001 30 mg weekly

- 3 PR, 5 SD, 1 PD (1NE); RR = 30%, DCR = 80%

Relative to the 5mg cohort, pts in 10mg cohort had lower PS, younger age, longer duration of metastatic disease and a higher number of prior lines of therapy

Incidence of neutropenia (G3-4=73%) and stomatitis (G3=27%) is higher on the 10mg dose but manageable

Major implicationRAD001 is well tolerated in combination with weekly paclitaxel and trastuzumab and shows encouraging responses in patients with trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer. Phase II/III dose 10 mg/day

Phase I RAD001 + Vinorelbine and Trastuzumab in HER2+ Patients With Prior Resistance to Trastuzumab

41 patients, all trastuzumab resistant; median of 3 prior chemotherapy regimens1

• 21 RAD001 5 mg daily

– 1 CR, 2 PR, 9 SD; 3 PD (6 too early) RR = 20%, DCR = 80%

• 6 RAD001 20 mg weekly

– 1 PR, 3 SD, 2 PD; RR = 17%, DCR = 66%

• 14 RAD001 30 mg weekly

– 2 PR, 9 SD, 2 PD (1 NE); RR = 15%, DCR = 85%

High incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia (86%) but manageable and no cases of febrile neutropenia

Major implications

RAD001 in combination with vinorelbine and trastuzumab is tolerablewith promising activity and clinical benefit in heavily pretreated pts with trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Phase III dose 5 mg/day

HER2+ Breast Cancer: Summary and Conclusions

15% to 25% of breast cancers overexpress HER2. Overexpression of HER2 is a marker for more aggressive disease

Trastuzumab induces responses in <50% of patients with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy induces response in 2/3 of pts, but a high proportion will develop resistance within 1 year

2nd-line therapy with HER2-targeted therapy, trastuzumab or lapatinib, combined with capecitabine, will generate a response in fewer than 50% with progression within 9 months and survival of less than 2 years

Signaling defects upstream of mTOR are common in breast cancer and are the principal causes of resistance to trastuzumab

RAD001 has shown activity in breast cancer as a single agent and in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel or vinorelbine in HER2+ patients with prior resistance to trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy

RAD001 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy is a rational approach to enhancing responses in patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer and in the treatment of patients after failure of other trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy regimens

Nonsteroidal Aromatase Inhibitor

Letrozole letrozole 2.5 mg/d vs tamoxifen 20 mg/d in 916 postmenopausal women—80% had not received adjuvant antiestrogen therapy

TTP: Letrozole (9.4 mo) vs tamoxifen (6.4 mo), P < 0.0001 ORR: Letrozole (32%) vs tamoxifen (21%), P = 0.0002Survival: Letrozole (35 mo) vs tamoxifen (32 mo), P = 0.5136

Anastrozole anastrozole 1.0 mg/d vs tamoxifen 20 mg/d in 353 postmenopausal women

TTP: Anastrozole (11.1 mo) vs tamoxifen (5.6 mo), P < 0.005 ORR: Anastrozole (21%) vs tamoxifen (17%), P = NS

What after progression on AIs?

Currently no treatments approved for postmenopausal women with ER+ ABC after recurrence or progression on a NSAI (letrozole or anastrozole)

Double-blind phase III trial (N=693) Fulvestrant Vs Exemestane in postmenopausal ER+ BC after progression to NSAI (Chia 2008)

- PFS 3.7 month on both arms

- ORR 7.4% vs. 6.7%, respectively

- Disease control rate 32.2% vs. 31.5%

This modest level of activity emphasizes the need for new treatment options that are not solely targeting the estrogen receptor pathway

ER+ Breast Cancer: Summary and Conclusions

80% of breast cancers express ER or PR

Long-term efficacy of hormonal therapy is limited by acquired resistance, which may be caused by enhanced signaling through growth factor receptors reducing dependence on estrogen to stimulate cell growth and proliferation

• Targeted therapies are being investigated to overcome resistance to hormonal therapy

mTOR is a key regulator of the stimuli driving growth of the hormone-resistant breast cancers

RAD001 has shown antitumor activity in breast cancer as a single agent, and also in combination with hormonal therapy
