Supplementary Material for: Treatment Patterns, Safety, and Patient Reported Outcomes among Adult Women with Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Negative Advanced Breast Cancer with or without or with Unknown BRCA1/2 Mutation(s): Results of a Real-World Study from the United States, United Kingdom, and Four EU Countries

Introduction: This real-world study assessed the breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 or 2 mutation (BRCA1/2mut) status on treatment patterns, safety, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) in the United States, United Kingdom, and EU4 countries. Methods: Oncologists abstracted data from medical charts of adult women who presented with HER2– ABC from February to May 2015 and from March to July 2017. Data were collected using a physician-reported form and a patient-reported form, which included questions on breast cancer history/treatment, and questions from PROs instruments (EuroQol 5-Dimensions 3-Levels [EQ-5D-3L], Brief Pain Inventory [BPI], European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 and its breast cancer module). Results: In total, 742 oncologists provided data for 6161 patients; 27.5% were tested for BRCA1/2mut. Out of the total patient population, 3.8% had BRCA1/2mut, 16.6% BRCA1/2 wild-type (BRCA1/2wt), and 79.5% were BRCA1/2 unknown (BRCA1/2unk). Hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2- ABC was more frequent within the BRCA1/2wt versus BRCA1/2mut group, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) within the BRCA1/2mut versus BRCA1/2wt group. More patients with HR+/HER2- ABC with BRCA1/2mut received chemotherapy (with or without targeted or endocrine therapy) versus BRCA1/2wt (66.0% vs 50.4%; p<0.01); more patients had ≥1 AE (58.0% vs 39.1%; p<0.001). Among patients with BRCA1/2mut versus BCRA1/2wt, a significantly higher proportion had some problems or worse in pain discomfort (p=0.021) and anxiety/depression (p=0.007) as measured by the EQ-5D-3L; role functioning (p<0.01) and dyspnea (p<0.05) measured by EORTC were worse with BRCA1/2mut. Pain scores by BPI were similar between groups. Conclusions: In patients with HER2- ABC in the real-world setting, more patients with BRCA1/2mut had TNBC, received chemotherapy, had >1 AE, and experienced increased discomfort, anxiety, and dyspnea and diminished role functioning versus patients with BRCA1/2wt.
