● T he 4EVER trial further evaluated the efficacy and safety of EVE+EXE in a broader patient population than in BOLERO-2. In 4EVER there were no limitations on ○ Number of previous chemotherapy lines for advanced disease ○ Time of recurrence or progression after NSAI therapy ○ Previous EXE therapy ● Therefore, the patient population in the 4EVER trial was more advanced and heavily pretreated than in the BOLERO-2 study5 ● Our results are consistent with the results of the exploratory bone analysis from the BOLERO-2 study, which had suggested a possible bone-protective effect with EVE+EXE2 ○ Notably, these exploratory analyses include an additional timepoint (week 24) and a different bone metabolism biomarker (osteocalcin) than in BOLERO-2 ● Bone metabolism biomarker levels would generally be expected to show marked differences over baseline, especially in the absence of concomitant treatment with antiresorptive agents in patients with bone metastases. However, CTX, P1NP, and osteocalcin levels remained stable regardless of the use of antiresorptive agents in the 4EVER trial ○ These data suggest that the addition of EVE to EXE may have stabilized CTX, P1NP, and osteocalcin levels ● The results from this exploratory analysis from 4EVER should be treated as hypothesis generating, and should be interpreted in the context of the study limitations: ○ Limited sample size (especially for the bone turnover marker subset) ○ Lack of a placebo arm ● Additional exploratory analyses from 4EVER (into biomarkers of bone metabolism and endocrine hormones) will be reported in the future
Endpoints
● P rimary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 after week 24 ● Secondary endpoints include ○ PFS ○ ORR after week 48 ○ Overall survival (OS) ○ Safety assessed with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03 – Incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), changes from baseline in vital signs, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, and laboratory results (hematology, blood chemistry—if resulting in AE) were reported ● Exploratory endpoints include ○ Correlation of response to EVE+EXE, with pharmacogenetics 2 draft 1.1 7033 ○ Figure Presence and molecular characteristics of circulating tumor cells ○ Correlation of anxiety and depression with interleukin-6 levels ○ Changes in serum biomarkers of bone metabolism

Objective ● T o further investigate the longer-term effect of mTOR inhibition on bone health as assessed by changes in marker levels of bone resorption (CTX) and bone formation (P1NP and osteocalcin) in the subset of patients with bone metastases in the 4EVER trial
T rial database lock occurred in June 2014 A total of 299 patients (Safety Set) were enrolled from May 2012 to November 2012 ○ The Full Analysis Set 1 included 281 patients Bone metastases were detected at baseline in 174 patients ○ CTX, P1NP, and osteocalcin levels were measured in patients with bone metastases The median relative differences from baseline in CTX (Figure 3), P1NP (Figure 4), and osteocalcin (Figure 5) levels were examined in patients with bone metastases at baseline with or without antiresorptive therapy ○ There were no significant differences in bone metabolism biomarker levels from baseline to week 24 regardless of the presence or absence of prior or concomitant antiresorptive treatment ○ Use of prior antiresorptive treatment was markedly different from the use of concomitant antiresorptive treatment – The majority of patients in this exploratory analysis did not receive prior antiresorptive treatment (Figures 3-5; Panel A for each) – However, most did receive concomitant antiresorptive treatment (Figures 3-5; Panel B for each)

● T he phase III BOLERO-2 trial demonstrated that everolimus (EVE) + exemestane (EXE) more than doubled median progression-free survival (PFS) compared with placebo (PBO) + EXE in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2–) advanced breast cancer progressing after nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) therapy1 ○ Final PFS by investigator review: 7.8 versus 3.2 months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.38-0.54; P < .0001 ○ Final PFS by central review: 11.0 versus 4.1 months; HR = 0.38; 95% CI, 0.31-0.48; P < .0001 ● An exploratory analysis of BOLERO-2 indicated a direct impact of EVE on bone health2 ○ Bone markers assessed in BOLERO-2 were – Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP, osteoclast metabolism) – C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX, bone resorption) – Amino-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP, bone formation) ○ Bone marker levels at 6 and 12 weeks decreased with EVE+EXE versus increasing with PBO+EXE ○ The cumulative incidence rate of progressive disease in bone was lower with EVE+EXE versus PBO+EXE (P = .04, Gray’s test) ● Figure 1 depicts a schematic overview of intracellular mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) 7033 Figure 1 draft 1.1 signaling in the osteoclast
