Re: Compiling Data on HER2 Brain Mets
In the overall population (n = 186), median PFS was 18.7 weeks in patients with BM and 19.4 weeks in patients without BM (HR 0.98 [95% CI: 0.71-1.35], P = 0.88). Among patients with BM, median overall PFS was significantly prolonged in patients who did not use prior capecitabine (28.3 weeks vs 14.0 weeks, P = 0.009), but brain PFS was not statistically significantly different between these two subsets (31.4 weeks vs 25.6 weeks, P = 0.54; Figure 1).

Re: Compiling Data on HER2 Brain Mets
A combination HER-2+ targeted approach achieved clinical remission with stable disease in our patient 46 months after she was diagnosed with LM metastases. However, spinal cord C-1 metastasis was not fully controlled with IT trastuzumab, ultimately leading to the patient’s respiratory compromise. In our patient, IT trastuzumab immunotherapy improved prognosis and was an effective strategy to manage HER-2+ LM disease. Given alone or alongside other anti-HER-2+ therapeutics with sufficient CNS penetration, IT trastuzumab could extend the lifespan of patients with leptomeningeal and CNS metastasis.
