An issue of this report will be distributed biannually in Summer (post AMI, AACR, ASCO, SGO, and SNM) and in Winter (post ASCO Breast Symposium, ASH, ACRIN, ASTRO, ISOQOL, RSNA, SABCS and AMI/SMI joint meeting) to highlight the research presentations of the Cooperative Groups and the supporting activities of NCI investigators from the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis - Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, Cancer Diagnosis Program, Cancer Imaging Program and Radiation Research Program, and from the Division of Cancer Prevention. Research Highlights in this Issue: NSABP-B-18, NSABP-B-27: A meta-analysis including 12 randomized controlled trials of neoadjuvant systemic therapy in breast cancer was conducted and showed: • ypT0, ypN0: Absence of invasive cancer in the breast and axillary nodes, and absence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (13%) • ypT0/is, ypN0: Absence of invasive cancer in the breast and axillary nodes; DCIS is allowed (18%) • ypT0/is: Absence of invasive cancer in the breast regardless of nodal involvement; DCIS is allowed (22%) The achievement of a pathologic CR was positively associated with more favorable long-term outcomes, regardless of whether DCIS was present or absent. For consistency, a standard pathologic CR definition was recommended for use in future trials, preferably ypT0ypN0 or ypT0/isypN0. Unfortunately, the magnitude of pathologic CR improvement predicting long-term clinical benefit could not be established, raising questions as to the potential utility of pCR as a surrogate endpoint for neoadjuvant clinical trials in breast cancer. On March 22, 2013, the FDA is conducting a workshop to discuss the potential of pCR in drug development. E2902: In older patients with relapsed/refractory acute myelogenous leukemia in remission, administration of tipifarnib was found in an unplanned analysis to be associated with improved survival at 10 months (70% with tipifarnib versus 48% with observation). Interestingly the differences in relapse rate was not different between the treatment arms. These findings may support clinical investigations of treatment strategies that do not depend on maintaining a complete response but that do have clinical benefit with improved survival.
