Nancy LinGUEST
So this study was a phase three randomized non-inferiority trial that was looking at test-directed chemotherapy versus no chemotherapy in patients with high clinical risk, ER positive, HER2 negative, early breast cancer.

Nancy LinGUEST
So this is quite distinct from the Taylor-RX or R-Exponder trials where patients were randomized to chemo or no chemo.

Nancy LinGUEST
Instead, here are patients who were over the 40 years or older who had ER positive, and this was defined as at least 10% by IHC.

Nancy LinGUEST
either node-negative or node-positive disease, this went up to nine positive nodes, were randomized to either receive chemotherapy followed by endocrine therapy in the control arm or test-directed therapy where a proscina test was performed.

Harold BursteinHOST
Does this study resolve that issue? Do we still need to accrue to the offset trial? Or is this still an open question in your mind?

Nancy LinGUEST
So we're going to switch gears a little bit and talk about the issue of brain metastasis.

Nancy LinGUEST
So first of all, why were we talking about this in HER2-positive disease? These are data from a very large U.S.

Nancy LinGUEST
database, and essentially by third line of therapy, 20% of hormone receptor positive HER2-positive, 36% of hormone receptor negative HER2-positive patients have developed brain metastases.

Nancy LinGUEST
And we know if we follow these patients until death, about 50% will develop brain metastases.

Nancy LinGUEST
Those were data from unscreened populations, but there's increasing interest in doing clinical trials of screening brain MRIs in patients.
