120PEarly on-treatment vs pre-treatment tumour transcriptomes as predictors of response to neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-positive inflammatory breast cancer

ConclusionsWe identified an accurate predictor of response based on transcriptomic profiling by RNAseq, following a single dose of neoadjuvant dual-HER2 blockade in HER2-positive IBC. It outperforms a similar predictor constructed on a pretreatment profile in the same cohort. Assessing early-changes in gene expression level by RNA-seq following one dose of treatment may provide insights for the molecular mechanisms underlying response or resistance to anti-HER2 therapy.Clinical trial identificationNCT01796197.Legal entity responsible for the studyDana-Farber Cancer Institute.FundingGenentech, Inc and the Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) Network.DisclosureS.
