CLEOPATRA: AEs before and after
discontinuation of docetaxel
The safety profile was generally similar in the two groups, with no increase in LVEF dysfunction; the rates of febrile neutropenia and diarrhea of grade ≥ 3 were higher in the pertuzumab group than in the control group
Breast Cancer Res Treat 2013
Safety data
• Diarrhoea, fatigue, asthenia, decreased appetite,
vomiting and dysgeusia were reported more frequently in
patients aged ≥ 65 years in both treatment arms
• Neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were reported less
frequently in the older age group (dose of docetaxel reduced
more frequently and median number of cycles lower in ≥65)
Febrile neutropenia (especially in the younger
subgroup) and diarrhea (especially in the older
subgroup)
Peripheral neuropathy only in patients aged ≥ 65 (8%)
AEs grade ≥ 3 reported more frequently in the pertuzumab arm
EMILIA Study Design
• Stratification factors: World region, number of prior chemo regimens for MBC or
unresectable LABC, presence of visceral disease
• Primary endpoints: PFS by independent review, OS, and safety
1:1
HER2-positive LABC or MBC (N=980)
• Prior taxane and trastuzumab
• Progression on metastatic treatment or within 6 months of adjuvant treatment

Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) = antibody–drug conjugate in which
trastuzumab is chemically linked to the emtansine
PFS benefit was consistently observed
across clinically relevant subgroups, with
a less definitive benefit among patients
aged ≥ 75 years (n=25) and those with
non visceral or non measurable disease

Rates of grade 3 or 4 adverse events were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine than with T-DM1 (57% vs. 41%). The incidences of thrombocytopenia and increased serum aminotransferase levels were higher with T-DM1, whereas the incidences of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and palmar–plantar erythrodysesthesiawere higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine
Recent advances in the management of metastatic breast cancer in older adults
• Patient’ age should not limit the access to new
treatment options;
• Close monitoring and proactive management of
toxicities should clearly be undertaken
• Difficult to translate the results of these trials,
conducted in selected patients, to the overall
population of older adults, especially to those
with comorbidities and increased susceptibility to
adverse events

The decision to treat must take into
account the relevant toxicities
associated with this combination and
should be made on a case-by-case
basis
