BACKGROUND: Adjuvant trastuzumab is a highly effective targeted treatment that improves survival for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. However, trastuzumab interruption is recommended for patients who develop treatment-induced cardiotoxicity (i.e., decline in left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], with or without symptoms) and can lead to an incomplete course of treatment. We studied the cardiac safety of continuous trastuzumab therapy among patients with asymptomatic declines in LVEF. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated patients with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with adjuvant trastuzumab at our institution between 2005 and 2010. Treatment-induced cardiotoxicity was defined by an absolute decrease in LVEF of ≥10% to below 55% or an absolute decrease of ≥16%. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between candidate risk factors and treatment-induced cardiotoxicity. RESULTS: Among 573 patients, 92 (16%) developed treatment-induced cardiotoxicity. Trastuzumab was continued without interruption in 31 of 92 patients with treatment-induced cardiotoxicity—all were asymptomatic with LVEF of ≥50% at cardiotoxicity diagnosis with median LVEF of 53% (range, 50%-63%), and none developed heart failure during follow-up. Risk factors associated with treatment-induced cardiotoxicity included age (p = .011), anthracycline chemotherapy (p = .002), and lower pretrastuzumab LVEF (p < .001). CONCLUSION: Among patients who develop asymptomatic treatment-induced cardiotoxicity with LVEF of ≥50%, continuous trastuzumab therapy appears to be safe.
背景:辅助性曲妥珠单抗是一种高效的靶向治疗药物,可提高HER2阳性乳腺癌患者的生存率。然而,对于出现治疗引起的心脏毒性(即左心室射血分数[LVEF]下降,有或无症状)的患者,建议中断曲妥珠单抗治疗,这可能导致治疗疗程不完整。我们研究了LVEF无症状下降的患者持续使用曲妥珠单抗治疗的心脏安全性。 方法:我们回顾性评估了2005年至2010年在本机构接受辅助性曲妥珠单抗治疗的HER2阳性乳腺癌患者。治疗引起的心脏毒性定义为LVEF绝对下降≥10%至低于55%或绝对下降≥16%。采用逻辑回归确定候选风险因素与治疗引起的心脏毒性之间的关联。 结果:在573例患者中,92例(16%)出现治疗引起的心脏毒性。92例出现治疗引起心脏毒性的患者中有31例未中断持续使用曲妥珠单抗——所有患者在心脏毒性诊断时均无症状,LVEF≥50%,LVEF中位数为53%(范围50%-63%),随访期间均未发生心力衰竭。与治疗引起的心脏毒性相关的风险因素包括年龄(p = 0.011)、蒽环类化疗(p = 0.002)和曲妥珠单抗治疗前较低的LVEF(p < 0.001)。 结论:在LVEF≥50%且出现无症状治疗引起心脏毒性的患者中,持续使用曲妥珠单抗治疗似乎是安全的。
