Evaluation of Copanlisib in Combination with Eribulin in Triple-negative Breast Cancer Patient-derived Xenograft Models. CANCER RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS 2024; 4:1430-1440. [PMID: 38717161 PMCID: PMC11152037 DOI: 10.1158/2767-9764.crc-24-0047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
The PI3K pathway regulates essential cellular functions and promotes chemotherapy resistance. Activation of PI3K pathway signaling is commonly observed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However previous studies that combined PI3K pathway inhibitors with taxane regimens have yielded inconsistent results. We therefore set out to examine whether the combination of copanlisib, a clinical grade pan-PI3K inhibitor, and eribulin, an antimitotic chemotherapy approved for taxane-resistant metastatic breast cancer, improves the antitumor effect in TNBC. A panel of eight TNBC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models was tested for tumor growth response to copanlisib and eribulin, alone or in combination. Treatment-induced signaling changes were examined by reverse phase protein array, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET (18F-FDG PET). Compared with each drug alone, the combination of eribulin and copanlisib led to enhanced tumor growth inhibition, which was observed in both eribulin-sensitive and -resistant TNBC PDX models, regardless of PI3K pathway alterations or PTEN status. Copanlisib reduced PI3K signaling and enhanced eribulin-induced mitotic arrest. The combination enhanced induction of apoptosis compared with each drug alone. Interestingly, eribulin upregulated PI3K pathway signaling in PDX tumors, as demonstrated by increased tracer uptake by 18F-FDG PET scan and AKT phosphorylation by IHC. These changes were inhibited by the addition of copanlisib. These data support further clinical development for the combination of copanlisib and eribulin and led to a phase I/II trial of copanlisib and eribulin in patients with metastatic TNBC. SIGNIFICANCE In this research, we demonstrated that the pan-PI3K inhibitor copanlisib enhanced the cytotoxicity of eribulin in a panel of TNBC PDX models. The improved tumor growth inhibition was irrespective of PI3K pathway alteration and was corroborated by the enhanced mitotic arrest and apoptotic induction observed in PDX tumors after combination therapy compared with each drug alone. These data provide the preclinical rationale for the clinical testing in TNBC.

Abstract
In this post hoc analysis of the ASCENT study, we compared outcomes with sacituzumab govitecan (SG) vs single-agent chemotherapy in clinically important subgroups of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Patients with mTNBC refractory to/relapsing after ≥2 prior chemotherapies (≥1 in the metastatic setting) were randomized 1:1 to receive SG or treatment of physician's choice (TPC) until unacceptable toxicity/progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 by central review in patients without brain metastases. Patients with brain metastases were allowed if metastases were stable ≥4 weeks. In the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, 19% of patients were age ≥65 years; 12% were Black, and 12% had brain metastases. SG improved PFS and overall survival (OS), respectively, vs TPC in patients age ≥65 years (7.1 vs 2.4 months and 14.7 vs 8.9 months), or of Black race (5.4 vs 2.2 months and 13.8 vs 8.5 months), consistent with outcomes in the ITT population. Patients with brain metastases had numerically higher median PFS with SG vs TPC, but median OS was similar between treatment groups. SG was well tolerated and had a manageable safety profile consistent with the full safety population across all subgroups; neutropenia and diarrhea were the most common treatment-emergent adverse events. These findings confirm the meaningful clinical benefit of SG vs standard chemotherapy in patient subgroups with high unmet needs. SG should be considered an effective and safe treatment option for patients with mTNBC eligible for second-line or later therapy. ClinicalTrials.gov Number: NCT02574455.

Abstract
Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) has the worst prognosis among breast cancer subtypes. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus chemotherapy have promising survival benefits. Herein, we report a 51-year-old woman whose metastatic lesions were diagnosed as triple-negative subtype and who received tislelizumab plus eribulin treatment and achieved excellent efficacy. To our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to present tislelizumab in combination with eribulin for mTNBC treatment. New treatments resulting in prolonged survival and durable clinical responses would benefit mTNBC patients. Then, we summarize the possible influencing factors of the interaction between tislelizumab and eribulin.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy that predominantly affects the anogenital areas of the elderly. Although the efficacy of docetaxel and other cytotoxic agents for advanced EMPD has been reported in small retrospective case studies, no treatment has been proven effective in prospective clinical trials. We established the world's first in vivo EMPD experimental model (a patient-derived xenograft model). In our treatment experiment, xenograft tumours showed a remarkable response to eribulin. This study evaluates the efficacy of eribulin for patients with advanced EMPD. In October 2022, we started a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of eribulin as a treatment for adult patients with unresectable EMPD with measurable lesions. Enrolment in this clinical trial is open to patients with any prior treatment for EMPD. The primary endpoint is overall response rate; the secondary endpoints include disease control rate, overall survival, progression-free survival and adverse events. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hokkaido University and the other collaborating institutions. If the primary endpoint is met, it is our hope that eribulin will be regarded as a standard medication for patients with advanced EMPD.

A phase Ib/II study of eribulin in combination with cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2024; 203:197-204. [PMID: 37815684 PMCID: PMC10787873 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-023-07073-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We hypothesized that eribulin combined with cyclophosphamide (EC) would be an effective combination with tolerable toxicity for the treatment of advanced breast cancer (ABC). METHODS Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable ABC with any number of prior lines of therapy were eligible to enroll. In the dose escalation cohort, dose level 0 was defined as eribulin 1.1 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, and dose level 1 was defined as eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2. Eribulin was given on days 1 and 8 and cyclophosphamide on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. In the dose expansion cohort, enrollment was expanded at dose level 1. The primary objective was clinical benefit rate (CBR), and secondary objectives were response rate (RR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS No dose-limiting toxicities were identified in the dose escalation cohort (n = 6). In the dose expansion cohort, an additional 38 patients were enrolled for a total of 44 patients, including 31 patients (70.4%) with hormone receptor-positive (HR +)/HER2- disease, 12 patients (27.3%) with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and 1 patient (2.3%) with HR + /HER2 + disease. Patients had a median age of 56 years (range 33-82 years), 1 prior line of hormone therapy (range 0-6), and 2 prior lines of chemotherapy (range 0-7). CBR was 79.5% (35/44; 7 partial response, 28 stable disease) and the median DOR was 16.4 weeks (range 13.8-21.1 weeks). Median PFS was 16.4 weeks (95% CI: 13.8-21.1 weeks). The most common grade 3/4 adverse event was neutropenia (47.7%, n = 21). Fourteen of 26 patients (53.8%) with circulating tumor cell (CTC) data were CTC-positive ([Formula: see text] 5 CTC/7.5 mL) at baseline. Median PFS was shorter in patients who were CTC-positive vs. negative (13.1 vs 30.6 weeks, p = 0.011). CONCLUSION In heavily pretreated patients with ABC, treatment with EC resulted in an encouraging CBR of 79.5% and PFS of 16.4 weeks, which compares favorably to single-agent eribulin. Dose reduction and delays were primarily due to neutropenia. The contribution of cyclophosphamide to eribulin remains unclear but warrants further evaluation. NCT01554371.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The achievement of complete response with chemotherapy after multiple treatment lines in metastatic breast cancer and the chemosensitivity in a luminal-like breast cancer are two important issues as it is often asked whether there is a potential limit to the number of therapeutic lines offered and what clinical value they may have. In this setting, eribulin mesylate is a chemotherapy option available. Several randomized and observational studies demonstrated eribulin's meaningful improvement on prolongation of survival, chronicling the disease and preventing the onset of new metastases, although the rate of complete responses is rather limited. CASE DESCRIPTION We report the five-year history of a luminal A breast cancer, stage IV at diagnosis, metastasized to bone and brain. After undergoing four chemotherapy lines and several radiotherapy sessions with partial response as the best response on bone and with a complete response on brain, our patient finally achieved a metabolic complete response also on bone after about a year of fifth-line treatment with eribulin. Currently the patient is in close clinical and radiological follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This case report aims to emphasize the clinical value of a chronic chemotherapy treatment also in heavily pretreated and luminal-like metastatic breast cancer, supporting eribulin as a good choice to consider.

Abstract
Introduction Eribulin was approved by the FDA in 2010 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the United States (US). More recently, several immuno-oncology (IO) and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) regimens have been approved for MBC. We assessed the treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in MBC patients treated with eribulin following treatment with an IO or ADC in US clinical practice. Materials and Methods In a retrospective patient medical chart review study, patients with MBC, aged ≥18 years, who initiated eribulin therapy between March 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, treated with either prior IO or ADC in the metastatic setting were included. Patient demographics, treatment characteristics, and clinical outcomes were analyzed descriptively. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analyses. Results In the study population (N=143), median age at eribulin initiation was 62 years; 64% were Caucasian, and 67% had triple-negative MBC (TNBC). Eribulin therapy was used in the second to fifth line of therapy in the metastatic setting; median treatment duration was 7.2 months. The overall response rate for eribulin was 59.4%. Median rwPFS and OS from eribulin initiation were 21.4 months (95% CI, 12.9-not estimable [NE]) and 24.2 months (95% CI, 17.5-NE), respectively. In patients with TNBC, median rwPFS and OS from eribulin initiation were 12.0 months (95% CI, 8.8-NE) and 18.3 months (95% CI, 14.9-NE), respectively. Conclusion These real-world data provide evidence for the clinical effectiveness outcomes of eribulin treatment among MBC patients previously treated with an IO or ADC.

Abstract
Introduction The efficacy and safety of adjuvant capecitabine in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer remains undefined. A meta-analysis was conducted to elucidate whether capecitabine-based regimens could improve survival in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods The current study searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov proceedings up to 2023.9. Disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) were assessed. Extracted or calculated hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled. Results The capecitabine-based regimens showed significant advantages in DFS (HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.73-0.90; P <.001) and OS (HR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.65-0.87; P <.001) from 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 5,390 unselected participants. Subgroup analysis of DFS showed analogous results derived from patients with lymph node negative (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.50-0.92; P = .006) and capecitabine duration no less than six cycles (HR = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.62-0.86; P <.001). Improvement of DFS in the addition group (HR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.68-0.87; P <.001) and adjuvant setting (HR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.70-0.89; P <.001) was observed. As to safety profile, capecitabine was associated with more frequent stomatitis (OR = 5.05, 95% CI: 1.45-17.65, P = .011), diarrhea (OR = 6.11, 95% CI: 2.12-17.56; P =.001), and hand-foot syndrome (OR = 31.82, 95% CI: 3.23-313.65, P = .003). Conclusions Adjuvant capecitabine-based chemotherapy provided superior DFS and OS to early-stage TNBC. The benefits to DFS in selected patients with lymph node negative and the addition and extended duration of capecitabine were demonstrated.

[PMID: 37633306 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(23)01245-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 48.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated significant progression-free survival benefit over chemotherapy in the phase 3 TROPiCS-02 trial in patients with pretreated, endocrine-resistant hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+ and HER2-) metastatic breast cancer with limited treatment options. Here, we report the protocol-specified final analysis of overall survival and endpoints by trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) expression and other variables. METHODS In this randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase 3 trial, which took place in 91 centres across North America (the USA and Canada) and Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK), patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive sacituzumab govitecan or chemotherapy (eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine). Patients had confirmed HR+ and HER2- locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic breast cancer and had received at least one previous endocrine therapy, a taxane, and a CDK4/6 inhibitor in any setting and two to four previous chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (previously reported and not included in this analysis), and secondary endpoints included overall survival, objective response rate (ORR), and patient-reported outcomes. Overall survival was assessed using stratified log-rank tests and Cox regression. Trop-2 expression was assessed in tumour tissue by immunohistochemistry. In the statistical testing hierarchy, ORR and patient-reported outcomes were tested sequentially if overall survival was significant. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03901339. FINDINGS At the data cutoff date of July 1, 2022, 543 of 776 screened patients were randomly assigned between May 30, 2019, and April 5, 2021, with 272 patients in the sacituzumab govitecan group and 271 patients in the chemotherapy group. With a 12·5-month (IQR 6·4-18·8) median follow-up, 390 deaths occurred among 543 patients. Overall survival was significantly improved with sacituzumab govitecan versus chemotherapy (median 14·4 months [95% CI 13·0-15·7] vs 11·2 months [10·1-12·7]; hazard ratio [HR] 0·79, 95% CI 0·65-0·96; p=0·020); survival benefit was consistent across Trop-2 expression-level subgroups. ORR was significantly improved with sacituzumab govitecan compared with chemotherapy (57 [21%] patients vs 38 [14%]; odds ratio 1·63 [95% CI 1·03-2·56]; p=0·035), as was time to deterioration of global health status and quality of life (median 4·3 months vs 3·0 months; HR 0·75 [0·61-0·92]; p=0·0059) and fatigue (median 2·2 months vs 1·4 months; HR 0·73 [0·60-0·89]; p=0·0021). The safety profile of sacituzumab govitecan was consistent with previous studies (including the TROPiCS-02 primary analysis and the ASCENT trial). One fatal adverse event (septic shock caused by neutropenic colitis) was determined to be related to sacituzumab govitecan treatment. INTERPRETATION Sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit over chemotherapy, with a 3·2-month median overall survival improvement and a manageable safety profile. These data support sacituzumab govitecan as a new treatment option for patients with pretreated, endocrine-resistant HR+ and HER2- metastatic breast cancer. FUNDING Gilead Sciences.

Abstract
Th22 cells are a newly identified subpopulation of CD4+ T lymphocytes distinct from Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, which secretes mainly interleukin-22 (IL-22), in addition to a variety of other cytokines. The function of Th22 cells in tumors is mainly realized through IL-22, which can activate JAK/STAT and MAPK cell signaling pathways, thereby regulating the anti-tumor immune response of the body. The main function of Th22 cells is to participate in mucosal defense, tissue repair, and wound healing. However, controversial data have shown that overexpression of IL-22 can lead to pathological changes under inflammatory conditions and tumor progression. In this review, we searched the PubMed and Web of Science databases for articles and reviews published before May 6, 2022, using the keywords "Th22 cells, T helper 22 cells, cancer, tumor", and conducted a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. In addition, this article offers an overview of the relevant findings on the function of Th22 cells in tumors published in recent years, along with a more comprehensive analysis of the functions and mechanisms of Th22 cells in tumors. This article will hopefully inspire new future directions in the research on cancer therapy.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease subtype with limited treatment options. Eribulin is a chemotherapeutic approved for the treatment of advanced breast cancer that has been shown to elicit epigenetic changes. We investigated the effect of eribulin treatment on genome-scale DNA methylation patterns in TNBC cells. Following repeated treatment, The results showed that eribulin-induced changes in DNA methylation patterns evident in persister cells. Eribulin also affected the binding of transcription factors to genomic ZEB1 binding sites and regulated several cellular pathways, including ERBB and VEGF signaling and cell adhesion. Eribulin also altered the expression of epigenetic modifiers including DNMT1, TET1, and DNMT3A/B in persister cells. Data from primary human TNBC tumors supported these findings: DNMT1 and DNMT3A levels were altered by eribulin treatment in human primary TNBC tumors. Our results suggest that eribulin modulates DNA methylation patterns in TNBC cells by altering the expression of epigenetic modifiers. These findings have clinical implications for using eribulin as a therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, but these typically fail to achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes. There have been no preclinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of eribulin against cSCC. Here, we examine the effects of eribulin using cSCC cell lines and a novel cSCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. In the cSCC cell lines (A431 and DJM-1 cells), eribulin was found to inhibit tumor cell proliferation in vitro as assessed by cell ATP levels. DNA content analysis by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) showed that eribulin induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In xenograft models of cSCC cell lines, the administration of eribulin suppressed tumor growth in vivo. We also developed a cSCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) which reproduces the histological and genetic characteristics of a primary tumor. Pathogenic mutations in TP53 and ARID2 were detected in the patient's metastatic tumor and in the PDX tumor. The cSCC-PDX responded well to the administration of eribulin and cisplatin. In conclusion, the present study shows the promising antineoplastic effects of eribulin in cSCC. Also, we established a novel cSCC-PDX model that preserves the patient's tumor. This PDX could assist researchers who are exploring innovative therapies for cSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment options for pretreated triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib, an antiangiogenic agent, in combination of etoposide for pretreated patients with advanced TNBC. METHODS In this single-arm phase II trial, patients with advanced TNBC who failed to at least one line of chemotherapy were enrolled. Eligible patients received oral apatinib 500 mg on day 1 to 21, plus oral etoposide 50 mg on day 1 to 14 of a 3-week cycle until disease progression or intolerable toxicities. Etoposide was administered up to six cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS From September 2018 to September 2021, 40 patients with advanced TNBC were enrolled. All patients received previous chemotherapy in the advanced setting, with the median previous lines of 2 (1-5). At the cut-off date on January 10, 2022, the median follow-up was 26.8 (1.6-52.0) months. The median PFS was 6.0 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.8-8.2) months, and the median overall survival was 24.5 (95%CI: 10.2-38.8) months. The objective response rate and disease control rate was 10.0% and 62.5%, respectively. The most common adverse events (AEs) were hypertension (65.0%), nausea (47.5%) and vomiting (42.5%). Four patients developed grade 3 AE, including two with hypertension and two with proteinuria. CONCLUSIONS Apatinib combined with oral etoposide was feasible in pretreated advanced TNBC, and was easy to administer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Luminal advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients eventually progress on endocrine therapy. REVERT aimed to explore whether eribulin could restore endocrine sensitivity in a randomized, non-comparative phase II trial. METHODS Aromatase inhibitor (AI)-resistant patients with luminal ABC were randomized 1:1 to receive eribulin +/- AI. Patients were stratified by prior cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) treatment. The primary endpoint was an investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR) according to RECIST version 1.1 in the eribulin + AI arm. An interim analysis was planned with 11 evaluable patients according to a two-stage Simon design. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were enrolled (15 eribulin + AI arm; 7 eribulin arm). The trial was terminated early in March 2021, with eight (36.4%) patients still on treatment. ORR was 26.7% in the eribulin + AI arm (95% CI, 7.8-55.1%; p = 0.0541). In the eribulin arm, two (28.6%) patients had an objective response (95% CI, 3.7-71.0%). The difference between the study arms was not significant (p = 0.918). The addition of AI to eribulin also failed to show improvement in other efficacy endpoints. A significant interaction between the treatment arm and previous CDK4/6i treatment was observed for ORR (p = 0.018) and progression-free survival (p = 0.084). Overall, the toxicity profile was consistent with the known safety profile of eribulin. No treatment-related deaths were reported. CONCLUSION Eribulin + AI does not seem to improve outcomes compared with eribulin monotherapy in patients with AI-resistant luminal ABC. This chemo-endocrine approach deserves further investigation after progression to CDK4/6i-based therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Eribulin treatment improved overall survival with predictable toxicities in phase 3 trials of patients with previously treated, locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer. This study (NCT02443428) prospectively observed eribulin-treated patients in real-world clinical practice. METHODS This observational multicentre registry study enrolled 76 patients with locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer who had ≤2 prior chemotherapeutic regimens for advanced disease. Eribulin was administered at a 1.23 mg/m2 dose (days 1 and 8 of every 21-day cycle). Adverse events (AEs) were monitored and effectiveness was assessed per local practice. RESULTS AEs occurred in 98.7% of patients; 88.2% had eribulin-related AEs. The most common AEs were fatigue (64.5%), alopecia (36.8%), nausea (35.5%) and constipation (30.3%). Serious AEs occurred in 42.1% of patients. The most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (9.2%), febrile neutropenia (9.2%), dyspnoea (5.3%) and pleural effusion (5.3%). No fatal AEs occurred. Dose reductions occurred in 31.6% of patients, 42.1% experienced dose delays and 9.2% discontinued due to worsening condition. There were complete responses in 2.6% and partial responses in 15.8% of patients. Median time to progression and overall survival were 4.0 and 8.3 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Eribulin was well tolerated in real-world clinical practice, comparable to safety and effectiveness reported in other clinical trials.

Abstract
To date, only few marine natural compounds have been proved to be active in breast cancer (BC). The main marine-derived drugs that have been studied for the treatment of BC are tubulin-binding agents (eribulin and plocabulin), DNA-targeting agents (cytarabine and minor groove binders—trabectedin and lurbinectedin) and Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs). Notably, eribulin is the only approved cytotoxic drug for the treatment of advanced BC (ABC), while cytarabine has a limited indication in case of leptomeningeal diffusion of the disease. Also plocabulin showed limited activity in ABC but further research is needed to define its ultimate potential role. The available clinical data for both trabectedin and lurbinectedin are of particular interest in the treatment of BRCA-mutated tumours and HR deficient disease, probably due to a possible immune-mediated mechanism of action. One of the most innovative therapeutic options for the treatment of BC, particularly in TNBC and HER2-positive BC, are ADCs. Some of the ADCs were developed using a specific marine-derived cytotoxic molecule as payload called auristatin. Among these, clinical data are available on ladiratuzumab vedotin and glembatumumab vedotin in TNBC, and on disitamab vedotin and ALT-P7 in HER2-positive patients. A deeper knowledge of the mechanism of action and of the potential predictive factors for response to marine-derived drugs is important for their rational and effective use, alone or in combination. In this narrative review, we discuss the role of marine-derived drugs for the treatment of BC, although most of them are not approved, and the opportunities that could arise from the potential treasure trove of the sea for novel BC therapeutics.

Safety analyses from the phase 3 ASCENT trial of sacituzumab govitecan in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. NPJ Breast Cancer 2022; 8:98. [PMID: 36038616 PMCID: PMC9424318 DOI: 10.1038/s41523-022-00467-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is an anti-Trop-2 antibody-drug conjugate with an SN-38 payload. In the ASCENT study, patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) relapsed/refractory to ≥2 prior chemotherapy regimens (≥1 in the metastatic setting), received SG or single-agent treatment of physician's choice (eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine). This ASCENT safety analysis includes the impact of age and UGT1A1 polymorphisms, which hinder SN-38 detoxification. SG demonstrated a manageable safety profile in patients with mTNBC, including those ≥65 years; neutropenia/diarrhea are key adverse events (AE). Patients with UGT1A1 *28/*28 genotype versus those with 1/*28 and *1/*1 genotypes had higher rates of grade ≥3 SG-related neutropenia (59% vs 47% and 53%), febrile neutropenia (18% vs 5% and 3%), anemia (15% vs 6% and 4%), and diarrhea (15% vs 9% and 10%), respectively. Individuals with UGT1A1 *28/*28 genotype should be monitored closely; active monitoring and routine AE management allow optimal therapeutic exposure of SG.

Investigating the Role of CTCs with Stem/EMT-like Features in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Eribulin Mesylate. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14163903. [PMID: 36010896 PMCID: PMC9405936 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14163903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Eribulin mesylate, an anti-mitotic drug used for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (BC), exhibits significant effects on cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastatic seeding in experimental models. Interestingly, eribulin treatment has been shown to target the cancer stem cell (CSC) subsets in vitro and reverse the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state of BC cells. In the current study, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) identified in the peripheral blood of patients with metastatic BC were analyzed at different time points during eribulin treatment and on disease progression. The results contribute new data on the mechanisms of resistance to eribulin mesylate and the prognostic relevance of CTC analyses for eribulin-treated metastatic BC. Abstract We herein aimed to assess the effect of eribulin mesylate on the cancer stem cell (CSC)/EMT-like phenotype of CTCs, and to investigate the prognostic role of CTC detection and monitoring for eribulin-treated BC patients. Peripheral blood was obtained at baseline (n = 42 patients) and 8 days after treatment initiation (C1D8: n = 22), and on disease progression (PD: n = 26). PBMCs cytospins were immunofluorescently stained for Cytokeratins/ALDH1/TWIST1/DAPI and analyzed via Ariol microscopy. CTCs were detected in 33.3%, 27.3%, and 23.1% of patients at baseline, C1D8, and PD, respectively. Accordingly, partial-EMT+ CTCs represented 61.3%, 0%, and 37.5% of total CTCs, whereas the CSC-like phenotype was consistently expressed by 87.5%, 75%, and 91.7% of CTCs at the respective time points. Interestingly, the CSC+/partial-EMT+ subset prevailed at baseline, but it was eradicated on C1D8 and resurged again during PD. CTC detection at baseline was associated with reduced PFS (p = 0.007) and OS (p = 0.005), and was an independent risk factor for death (HR: 3.779, p = 0.001; multivariate analysis). The CSC+/partial-EMT+ CTCs emerged as the only subset with adverse prognostic significance, while CTC monitoring during eribulin therapy improved the prediction of disease progression. These results indicate that resistant CTC subsets persevere eribulin treatment and highlight the prognostic implications of CTC analyses for eribulin-treated BC patients.

Sacituzumab govitecan as second-line treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer-phase 3 ASCENT study subanalysis. NPJ Breast Cancer 2022; 8:72. [PMID: 35680967 PMCID: PMC9184615 DOI: 10.1038/s41523-022-00439-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who relapse early after (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy have more aggressive disease. In the ASCENT trial, sacituzumab govitecan (SG), an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti-Trop-2 antibody coupled to SN-38 via a hydrolyzable linker, improved outcomes over single-agent chemotherapy of physician's choice (TPC) in metastatic TNBC (mTNBC). Of 468 patients without known baseline brain metastases, 33/235 vs 32/233 patients (both 14%) in the SG vs TPC arms, respectively, received one line of therapy in the metastatic setting and experienced disease recurrence ≤12 months after (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy. SG prolonged progression-free survival (median 5.7 vs 1.5 months [HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.22-0.76]) and overall survival (median 10.9 vs 4.9 months [HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.28-0.91]) vs TPC, with a manageable safety profile in this subgroup consistent with the overall population. In this second-line setting, as with later-line therapy, SG improved survival over conventional chemotherapy for patients with mTNBC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients have a significantly worse prognosis and survival compared to non-TNBC patients. Mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction (MIBR) is associated with higher rates of complications overall, but whether MIBR significantly increases oncological risk in TNBC patients has not been fully elucidated. Our study aimed to evaluate the oncological safety of MIBR in patients with TNBC compared to non-TNBC. METHODS A 6-year prospectively maintained retrospective database at The Ottawa Hospital was reviewed from January 1, 2013 to May 31, 2019. Propensity score-matching was performed using the nearest-neighbour method with a matching ratio of 2:1. Kaplan-Meier and log rank tests were performed to provide statistical comparison of disease-free interval (DFI). DFI was defined as time from MIBR to locoregional recurrence or disease-specific mortality. P-value < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. RESULTS Of 277 eligible patients, 153 patients were matched. The cohort consisted of 51(33%) TNBC patients and 102 (67%) non-TNBC patients after 2:1 propensity score-matching. The rates of delays to first radiochemotherapy [17 (33%) vs.14 (14%), p = 0.10], postoperative complications [13 (26%) vs. 34 (33%), p = 0.50], and locoregional recurrence [2 (1.96%) vs. 1 (1.96%), p = 1.0] were statistically similar in TNBC and non-TNBC, respectively. DFI was not significantly different in TNBC compared to non-TNBC patients (log-rank p = 1.0). There was no mortality in this cohort. CONCLUSIONS This 6-year retrospective 2:1 propensity score-matched cohort study demonstrated similar oncological safety for MIBR in patients with TNBC and non-TNBC.. Overall, these findings provide additional support for the oncological safety of MIBR in TNBC. . Therefore, MIBR remains a therapeutic option for patients with TNBC.

Abstract
Background and Objectives; Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with poor patient prognosis because of its multiple molecular features. Thus, more effective treatment for TNBC is urgently needed. This study determined the possible involvement of ERK1/2 activation in cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in TNBC by providing additional eribulin treatment. Materials and Methods; We investigated cell viability and apoptosis caused by eribulin, cisplatin, or co-treatment in HCC38, MDA-MB-231, and SKBR3 human breast cancer cells. Results; Cisplatin significantly lowered cell viability and caused high apoptotic cell death in all breast cancer cell lines. The viability of TNBC cells was significantly lower in the group co-treated with cisplatin and eribulin than in the cisplatin-only treatment group. Additional eribulin treatment significantly enhanced PARP cleavage and caspase-3 activity in cisplatin-treated TNBC cells. Moreover, cisplatin treatment activated ERK1/2 in all breast cancer cell lines. The cisplatin and eribulin combination synergistically activated ERK1/2 in TNBC cells compared with the cisplatin-only treatment. Administration of the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 increased the viability of TNBC cells treated with cisplatin plus eribulin. Conclusions; Eribulin could synergize the cytotoxic and apoptotic activities of cisplatin and increase ERK1/2 activation, thus enhancing anti-cancer effects against TNBC cells.

J Natl Compr Canc Netw 2022; 20:745-752.

Abstract
Metastatic breast cancer demonstrates HER2/neu amplification approximately 15% of the time. However, HER2 mutations, which often stimulate tumor growth, occur in only 3% to 5% of patients, and are seen more frequently in metastatic versus primary tumors. They are more frequent in lobular carcinoma, including triple-negative lobular cancer. Many of these variants are resistant to trastuzumab and lapatinib. However, neratinib can be efficacious, and recent data suggest that antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) such as ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and trastuzumab deruxtecan may also be helpful. Laboratory and clinical data raise the possibility that simultaneous treatment with ADCs plus neratinib may be even more efficacious. Tucatinib, which has demonstrated significant activity in the central nervous system, has also been shown in vitro to be active against a number of these HER2 variants. This report describes a patient with metastatic estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-nonamplified breast cancer with an activating HER2 mutation whose tumor became resistant to neratinib as well as capecitabine, but whose subsequent leptomeningeal disease had a dramatically successful response to tucatinib plus capecitabine. As the frequency of HER2 mutations increases during the evolution of metastatic breast cancer, it is important to obtain genomic evaluation on these tumors with either repeat tissue or liquid biopsy as they progress over time.

Abstract
Background Eribulin methylate (eribulin) improved the overall survival (OS) of eribulin-treated patients with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC) in prospective and retrospective studies. However, the effect of eribulin on OS as first-line chemotherapy and the characteristics of the patients who benefited from eribulin remain unclear. Methods Between January 2011 and December 2016, 301 patients with HER2-negative ABC who started first-line chemotherapy at 3 institutions were retrospectively evaluated for OS from the initiation of first-line chemotherapy. Results We identified 172 patients (119 estrogen receptor-positive [ER+], 47 ER−, 6 unknown) who received eribulin (eribulin group) and 129 patients (92 ER+, 31 ER−, 6 unknown) who did not receive eribulin (non-eribulin group). The median OS from the initiation of first-line chemotherapy in the two groups was not statistically significant (869 vs. 744 days, P = 0.47, log-rank); however, in patients who received eribulin in later lines (≥3rd-line) and who had a history of perioperative chemotherapy with anthracycline- and/or taxane-based regimens, the median OS improved (1001 vs. 744 days, P = 0.037; and 834 vs. 464 days, respectively P = 0.032, respectively; Wilcoxon). Multivariate analyses revealed that a history of perioperative chemotherapy with anthracycline- and/or taxane-based regimens was a predictive factor (hazard ratio, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.21–0.70) for OS. Conclusions This study successfully identified subgroups of HER2− ABC patients with improved OS by eribulin therapy. Selecting patients according to their background and line of treatment will maximize the efficacy of eribulin therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is an incurable disease and its treatment focuses on prolonging patients' (pts) overall survival (OS) and improving their quality of life. Eribulin is a microtubule inhibitor that increases OS in pre-treated MBC pts. The most common adverse events (AEs) are asthenia, neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy (PN). METHODS PAINTER is a single arm, phase IV study, aimed at evaluating the tolerability of eribulin in MBC pts. Secondary objectives were the description of treatment efficacy and safety, the assessment of the incidence and severity of PN and its association with genetic polymorphisms. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples and 15 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped by Taqman specific assays. The association between PN and SNPs were evaluated by Fisher exact test. RESULTS Starting from May 2014 until June 2018 180 pts were enrolled in this study by 20 Italian centers. 170 of these pts could be evaluated for efficacy and toxicity and 159 for polymorphisms analysis. The median age of pts was 60 years old and the biological subtypes were luminal type (64.7%), Her2 positive (18.3%) and triple negative (17%). Pts were pretreated with a median of 5 lines for MBC. The median follow up of this study was 15.4 months with a median number of 4.5 cycles administered (minimum-maximum 1-23). The median overall survival was 12 months. 48.8% of pts experienced a dose reduction, mainly for neutropenia (23.9%) and liver toxicity (12%). 65 pts (38.2%) reported at least one severe toxicity. Neutropenia and neurotoxicity were the most frequent severe AEs (15.3% and 14.7%, respectively); other reported toxicities were osteo-muscular, abdominal or tumor site pain (19.4%), liver toxicity (6.6%), pulmonary toxicity (6.5%) and dermatological toxicity (3.6%). Among the 15 evaluated SNPs, an association with PN was found for rs2233335 and rs7214723. CONCLUSIONS Eribulin is a well-tolerated treatment option in MBC. Schedule and dosage modifications were common, but toxicity rarely led to treatment discontinuation. SNPs rs2233335 (G/T and T/T) in the NDRG1 gene and rs7214723 (CC and CT) in the CAMKK1 gene were associated with PN. These findings, if validated, could allow a tailored treatment with eribulin in cancer patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02864030.

Average duration of prior treatment lines predicts clinical benefit to eribulin chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2021; 191:535-543. [PMID: 34843027 PMCID: PMC8831340 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-021-06438-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treated with eribulin in a real-world setting, to improve information provision in those considering treatment. Methods Patients treated with eribulin for MBC at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK, between August 2011 and December 2018 were included (n = 439). Data were collected by retrospective review of medical records and electronic prescribing systems. Factors such as biological subtype, distant recurrence-free interval, previous lines of chemotherapy and the ‘average duration of previous treatment lines’ (ADPT) (calculated as: (date of initiation of eribulin–date of MBC) / the number of previous treatment lines in the metastatic setting) were evaluated for prognostic impact using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results In the full cohort, the median PFS and OS were 4.1 months (95% CI 3.7–4.4) and 8.6 months (95% CI 7.4–9.8), respectively. Outcomes were significantly inferior for those with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (n = 92); PFSTNBC: 2.4 months (95% CI 2.1–3.0), p = < 0.001 and OSTNBC: 5.4 months (95% CI 4.6–6.6), p = < 0.001. ADPT was the only factor other than subtype significantly associated with PFS and OS. Longer ADPT was also significantly associated with PFS and OS in those with TNBC. For example, women in the lowest ADPT tertile (< 5.0 months) achieved a median OS of only 4.3 months, whereas those in the upper ADPT tertile (> 8.7 months) had a median OS of 12.1 months (p = 0.004). Conclusion Our results indicate that the ADPT lines is an important factor when predicting the outcome with eribulin chemotherapy in a palliative setting and that quantitative guidance on the likely PFS and OS with treatment can be provided using ADPT. Validation in additional cohorts is warranted.

Abstract
A predictive marker for efficacy of eribulin administered as different lines of treatment in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has not been identified. We aimed to determine the predictive factors for efficacy of eribulin administered as different lines of treatment in MBC patients.This restrospective cohort study included 49 heavily pre-treated MBC patients who received either eribulin monotherapy or combination therapy with eribulin and anti-Her2 therapy. Associations between clinical response of eribulin-based treatment, time-to-treatment failure (TTF), and possible predictive markers were investigated.Patients' median age was 55 years; 65% were ER+; 43% were HER2+; and 16% were triple-negative. Median TTF was 5.23 months and longer in non-visceral metastases patients. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status was 0-1; eribulin as ≥2nd-line treatment; eribulin combined with dual blockades; lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) ≥3; and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) <0.4. In patients with eribulin as >3rd-line treatment, univariate analysis showed that ECOG status was 0-1, and LMR ≥3 and MLR <0.4 were associated with a low risk of TTF. Multivariate analysis showed that ECOG status 0-1 was an independent protective factor. Leukopenia and neutropenia were the most common manageable adverse events.ECOG status is an independent predictor for TTF, while LMR and MLR may have an interactive effect with other biomarkers (e.g., ECOG status) to predict response in MBC patients receiving eribulin as ≥2nd-line treatment.

Abstract
Post-progression survival affects overall survival (OS) in patients with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (HER2-ABC); thus, the optimal choice of first-line chemotherapy (1LCT) remains controversial. We investigated patients with HER2-ABC focusing on their sensitivity to 1LCT. We retrospectively analyzed patients with HER2-ABC who received 1LCT between January 2011 and December 2016 in three participating institutions. We identified 149 patients in the shorter and 152 patients in the longer time to treatment failure (TTF) groups. The median OS was significantly longer in the longer TTF group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.44, P < 0.001, log-rank). In the shorter TTF group, OS of patients who received paclitaxel plus bevacizumab (PB) therapy was significantly inferior to that of those who received chemotherapy other than PB (HR 2.57, P < 0.001, log-rank), and subsequent eribulin therapy significantly improved OS from 1LCT initiation (Wilcoxon P < 0.001); multivariate analyses showed that 1LCT PB therapy was an independent risk factor for poorer OS (HR 2.05, P = 0.003), while subsequent eribulin therapy was an independent prognostic factor for better OS (HR 0.56, P = 0.004). OS was significantly poorer in patients with HER2-ABC with a shorter duration of 1LCT, including PB therapy, while subsequent eribulin therapy improved OS.

Abstract
Endocrine therapy (ET) for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR-positive/HER2-negative) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has changed markedly over recent years with the emergence of new ETs and the use of molecularly targeted agents. Cytotoxic chemotherapy continues, however, to have an important role in these patients and it is important to maximize its efficacy while minimizing toxicity to optimize outcomes. This review examines current HR-positive/HER2-negative MBC clinical guidelines and addresses key questions around the use of chemotherapy in the face of emerging therapeutic options. Specifically, the indications for chemotherapy in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative MBC and the choice of optimal chemotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eribulin's clinical benefit remains unclear; so, studies analyzing its effectiveness in routine clinical practice are interesting. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a multicenter, retrospective study including patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative metastatic breast cancer which assesses effectiveness and safety of eribulin. RESULTS A total of 140 women were included, with a median age of 57 years. The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 8.8 (95% confidence interval: 6.1-11.4) and 2.8 months (95% confidence interval: 2.5-3.1), respectively. For patients with hormonal receptor expression, a significantly longer progression-free survival was observed: 3.4 (95%confidence interval: 2.3-4.5) versus triple negative: 2.0 (95%confidence interval: 1.7-2.3) months, p = 0.003. Also, those who had received capecitabine prior to eribulin had a higher median overall survival than those who had not received it (9.5 months, 95% confidence interval: 6.6-12.5 vs. 4.8 months, 95% confidence interval: 3.4-6.2; p = 0.001). When only triple-negative patients were included, median overall survival was 6.5 (95% confidence interval: 0.1-16.2) for those who had received previous capecitabine versus 4.3 (95% confidence interval: 2.8-5.8) months for patients who had not received it; p =0.006. The safety profile of eribulin was adequate. CONCLUSION Effectiveness of eribulin in a real-life human epidermal growth factor receptor-2--negative population is lower than that observed in clinical trials. Its benefit seems to be higher in patients with hormonal receptor expression and patients who had received capecitabine prior to eribulin. The safety profile of eribulin is adequate.

Abstract
Background and aim Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide, and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in females. For the breast malignant tumors there are numerous targeted therapies, depending on the receptors expressed. Regulating the process of epithelial-mesenchyme transcription, the steroid nuclear receptors are important in invasion and progression of BC cells. Till now, it is known that androgen receptor (AR) is present in about 60-80% of BC cells but, unfortunately, there is no targeted therapy available yet. Methods We revised the recent literature that included the AR mechanism of action in patients diagnosed with breast cancer, the preclinical, retrospective and clinical studies and the aspects related to the prognosis of these patients, depending on the molecular subtype. Results A total of 12 articles were eligible for this review. AR positivity was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Herein, neither 1 nor 10% cut-points were robustly prognostic. AR was an independent prognostic marker of BC outcome, especially in triple negative BC group. Conclusion AR is a potential targeted pathway which can improve the prognostic of AR positive patients with BC. Further preclinical and clinical studies are necessary to clarify the mechanism of action and to establish the drugs which can be used, either alone or in combination.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy comes in all shapes and forms and is a disorder which is found in the peripheral nervous system. It can have an acute or chronic onset depending on the multitude of pathophysiologic mechanisms involving different parts of nerve fibers. A systematic approach is highly beneficial when it comes to cost-effective diagnosis. More than 30 causes of peripheral neuropathy exist ranging from systemic and auto-immune diseases, vitamin deficiencies, viral infections, diabetes, etc. One of the major causes of peripheral neuropathy is drug induced disease, which can be split into peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy or by other medications. This review deals with the latest causes of drug induced peripheral neuropathy, the population involved, the findings on physical examination and various workups needed and how to manage each case.

Abstract
Various molecular‐targeting drugs have markedly improved the treatment of patients with breast cancer. As yet, therapies for triple‐negative breast cancer are mainly cytotoxic agents. To investigate the novel therapy for triple‐negative breast cancer, we herein examined the effects of a new combination therapy comprising a RAF/MEK inhibitor CH5126766, also known as VS‐6766, which we originally discovered, and eribulin. The combination of CH5126766 and eribulin potently inhibited cell growth in the triple‐negative breast cancer cell lines tested. The underlying mechanism in the efficacy of this combination treatment in vitro and in vivo was due to enhanced apoptosis through the suppression of survivin and Bcl‐2 family proteins. We also showed the suppressed expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) in combination therapy in vivo. We found that combination therapy with eribulin and CH5126766 for triple‐negative breast cancer inhibited cell growth by apoptosis and raised a possibility that immune responses through suppression of PD‐L1 might partially contribute to inhibition of tumor growth, indicating the potential of this combination as a novel strategy for triple‐negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Background: Eribulin is a nontaxane microtubule inhibitor approved in China for patients with advanced breast cancer who show progression after ⩾2 lines of chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety profile of eribulin and explore potential predictive factors for the efficacy of eribulin among Chinese women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in real-world practice. Patients and Methods: A total of 272 consecutive MBC patients who were treated with eribulin between November 2019 and October 2020 in 9 institutions nationwide were included in this study. Eribulin was administered intravenously at a dose of 1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. Efficacy outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and clinical benefit rate (CBR). Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to The National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 5.0. Results: Eribulin showed a median PFS of 4.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.6–4.6); however, the OS data were immature. The ORR was 17.6% and the CBR was 24.6%. A total of 51.8% of patients received eribulin monotherapy, while 48.2% of patients were treated with eribulin plus targeted therapy or other chemotherapy. The number of metastatic sites, duration of previous taxane treatment for MBC, and combination with bevacizumab were significant in Cox multivariate analysis (p = 0.023, p = 0.048, and p = 0.046, respectively) and were significantly associated with PFS of eribulin. The most common AEs with eribulin treatment were hematological toxicities, including neutropenia, leukopenia, and anemia. Conclusion: Eribulin was effective with a manageable toxicity profile in clinical practice. Furthermore, when prescribed in combination with other agents, eribulin did not increase the toxic effects of each agent. Eribulin monotherapy or plus other agents is an alternative for the heavily pretreated patients with MBC.

Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2021; 163:103375. [PMID: 34087344 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2021.103375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Eribulin is one of the few recommended chemotherapies for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We systematically searched MEDLINE Ovid, Cochrane Library, IPA, CINAHL, Web of Science and ProQuest Dissertations for studies evaluating eribulin versus non-eribulin regimens in LABC/MBC till January 15, 2021. Primary effectiveness and safety outcomes were overall survival (OS) and adverse events (AE), respectively. Hazard ratios (HR) and relative risks (RR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed or random-effects meta-analyses. Of 1183 publications identified, 13 studies were included in this review. Eribulin based therapy showed significantly increased OS [HR (95 % CI) = 0.77 (0.67-0.88)] compared to non-eribulin in both main and sensitivity analyses, as well as subgroup analyses according to receptor expression and line of therapy. Incidence of all-grade neutropenia was the only significant AE in eribulin than non-eribulin groups. Eribulin has a manageable toxicity profile and provides significant survival benefit in LABC/MBC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retrospective analyses suggest that capecitabine may carry superior activity in hormone receptor-positive relative to hormone receptor-negative metastatic breast cancer. This review examined the veracity of that finding and explored whether this differential activity extends to early breast cancer. OBJECTIVES To assess effects of chemotherapy regimens containing capecitabine compared with regimens not containing capecitabine for women with hormone receptor-positive versus hormone receptor-negative breast cancer across the three major treatment scenarios: neoadjuvant, adjuvant, metastatic. SEARCH METHODS On 4 June 2019, we searched the Cochrane Breast Cancer Specialised Register; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2019, Issue 5) in the Cochrane Library; MEDLINE; Embase; the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform; and ClinicalTrials.gov. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials looking at chemotherapy regimens containing capecitabine alone or in combination with other agents versus a control or similar regimen without capecitabine for treatment of breast cancer at any stage. The primary outcome measure for metastatic and adjuvant trials was overall survival (OS), and for neoadjuvant studies pathological complete response (pCR). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias and certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach. Hazard ratios (HRs) were derived for time-to-event outcomes, and odds ratios (ORs) for dichotomous outcomes, and meta-analysis was performed using a fixed-effect model. MAIN RESULTS We included 26 studies with outcome data by hormone receptor: 12 metastatic studies (n = 4325), 6 neoadjuvant trials (n = 3152), and 8 adjuvant studies (n = 13,457). Capecitabine treatment was added in several different ways across studies. These could be classified as capecitabine alone compared to another treatment, capecitabine substituted for part of the control chemotherapy, and capecitabine added to control chemotherapy. In the metastatic setting, the effect of capecitabine was heterogenous between hormone receptor-positive and -negative tumours. For OS, no difference between capecitabine-containing and non-capecitabine-containing regimens was observed for all participants taken together (HR 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98 to 1.05; 12 studies, 4325 participants; high-certainty evidence), for those with hormone receptor-positive disease (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.04; 7 studies, 1834 participants; high-certainty evidence), and for those with hormone receptor-negative disease (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.13; 8 studies, 1577 participants; high-certainty evidence). For progression-free survival (PFS), a small improvement was seen for all people (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.96; 12 studies, 4325 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). This was largely accounted for by a moderate improvement in PFS for inclusion of capecitabine in hormone receptor-positive cancers (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.91; 7 studies, 1594 participants; moderate-certainty evidence) compared to no difference in PFS for hormone receptor-negative cancers (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.10; 7 studies, 1122 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Quality of life was assessed in five studies; in general there did not seem to be differences in global health scores between the two treatment groups at around two years' follow-up. Neoadjuvant studies were highly variable in design, having been undertaken to test various experimental regimens using pathological complete response (pCR) as a surrogate for disease-free survival (DFS) and OS. Across all patients, capecitabine-containing regimens resulted in little difference in pCR in comparison to non-capecitabine-containing regimens (odds ratio (OR) 1.12, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.33; 6 studies, 3152 participants; high-certainty evidence). By subtype, no difference in pCR was observed for either hormone receptor-positive (OR 1.22, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.95; 4 studies, 964 participants; moderate-certainty evidence) or hormone receptor-negative tumours (OR 1.28, 95% CI 0.61 to 2.66; 4 studies, 646 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Four studies with 2460 people reported longer-term outcomes: these investigators detected no difference in either DFS (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.21; high-certainty evidence) or OS (HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.77 to 1.23; high-certainty evidence). In the adjuvant setting, a modest improvement in OS was observed across all participants (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.98; 8 studies, 13,547 participants; moderate-certainty evidence), and no difference in OS was seen in hormone receptor-positive cancers (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.09; 3 studies, 3683 participants), whereas OS improved in hormone receptor-negative cancers (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.89; 5 studies, 3432 participants). No difference in DFS or relapse-free survival (RFS) was observed across all participants (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.01; 8 studies, 13,457 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). As was observed for OS, no difference in DFS/RFS was seen in hormone receptor-positive cancers (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.17; 5 studies, 5604 participants; moderate-certainty evidence), and improvements in DFS/RFS with inclusion of capecitabine were observed for hormone receptor-negative cancers (HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.86; 7 studies, 3307 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Adverse effects were reported across all three scenarios. When grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia was considered, no difference was seen for capecitabine compared to non-capecitabine regimens in neoadjuvant studies (OR 1.31, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.77; 4 studies, 2890 participants; moderate-certainty evidence), and a marked reduction was seen for capecitabine in adjuvant studies (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.64; 5 studies, 8086 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). There was an increase in diarrhoea and hand-foot syndrome in neoadjuvant (diarrhoea: OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.32 to 2.89; 3 studies, 2686 participants; hand-foot syndrome: OR 6.77, 95% CI 4.89 to 9.38; 5 studies, 3021 participants; both moderate-certainty evidence) and adjuvant trials (diarrhoea: OR 2.46, 95% CI 2.01 to 3.01; hand-foot syndrome: OR 13.60, 95% CI 10.65 to 17.37; 8 studies, 11,207 participants; moderate-certainty evidence for both outcomes). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS In summary, a moderate PFS benefit by including capecitabine was seen only in hormone receptor-positive cancers in metastatic studies. No benefit of capecitabine for pCR was noted overall or in hormone receptor subgroups when included in neoadjuvant therapy. In contrast, the addition of capecitabine in the adjuvant setting led to improved outcomes for OS and DFS in hormone receptor-negative cancer. Future studies should stratify by hormone receptor and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) status to clarify the differential effects of capecitabine in these subgroups across all treatment scenarios, to optimally guide capecitabine inclusion.

Treatment-associated survival outcomes in real-world patients with de novo metastatic triple-negative breast cancer: Age as a significant treatment effect-modifier. J Formos Med Assoc 2021; 121:319-328. [PMID: 34006465 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2021.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Evidence for optimizing the first-line chemotherapy for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is lacking. This study assessed the utilization patterns of chemotherapy and associated survival outcomes in de novo mTNBC patients. METHODS Taiwan's cancer registry was utilized to extract study patients with newly-diagnosed breast cancer during 2011-2015 and confirmed metastatic triple-negative status. The patients' medical records (e.g., diseases, treatments) and death status were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database. Utilization of first-line chemotherapy regimens was analyzed and associated survival outcomes were assessed using Cox models. RESULTS 93.60% of the mTNBC patients (n = 297) received chemotherapy, where combination regimens (75.54%) were more common than single-agent regimens (24.46%) in the first-line setting. A non-statistically lower all-cause death associated with combination versus single-agent chemotherapy (hazard ratio: 0.830 [0.589, 1.168]) was observed. Age was identified as a significant effect-modifier in treatment-associated survival outcomes (p = 0.008); younger patients (aged < 40 and 40-59 years) versus older patients (aged ≥ 60 years) had a lower all-cause mortality when receiving combination versus single-agent chemotherapy. A lower all-cause mortality associated with taxane- versus non-taxane-based therapy was revealed among those on single-agent chemotherapy (hazard ratio: 0.557 [0.311, 0.999]). CONCLUSION Generally, single-agent and combination chemotherapies yielded comparable survival outcomes as the first-line treatment for de novo mTNBC. Younger patients may benefit more from combination regimens, in terms of better survival outcomes. Single-agent chemotherapy may be preferable as the first-line choice for elderly patients who are vulnerable to the toxicity of multiple chemotherapy agents.

Abstract
Background: The management of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is challenging with several controversies and unmet needs. During the 12th Breast-Gynaecological & Immuno-oncology International Cancer Conference (BGICC) Egypt, 2020, a panel of 35 breast cancer experts from 13 countries voted on consensus guidelines for the clinical management of TNBC. The consensus was subsequently updated based on the most recent data evolved lately. Methods: A consensus conference approach adapted from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) was utilized. The panellists voted anonymously on each question, and a consensus was achieved when ≥75% of voters selected an answer. The final consensus was later circulated to the panellists for critical revision of important intellectual content. Results and conclusion: These recommendations represent the available clinical evidence and expert opinion when evidence is scarce. The percentage of the consensus votes, levels of evidence and grades of recommendation are presented for each statement. The consensus covered all the aspects of TNBC management starting from defining TNBC to the management of metastatic disease and highlighted the rapidly evolving landscape in this field. Consensus was reached in 70% of the statements (35/50). In addition, areas of warranted research were identified to guide future prospective clinical trials.

First-in-Human Phase 1 Study of MORAb-202, an Antibody-Drug Conjugate Comprising Farletuzumab Linked to Eribulin Mesylate, in Patients with Folate Receptor-α-Positive Advanced Solid Tumors. Clin Cancer Res 2021; 27:3905-3915. [PMID: 33926914 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-20-4740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE MORAb-202, an antibody-drug conjugate containing farletuzumab and eribulin with a cathepsin-B cleavable linker, targets folate receptor α (FRα)-expressing tumor cells. The primary objective of this first-in-human study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MORAb-202 in patients with solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients ≥20 years with adequate organ function and FRα-positive solid tumors who failed to respond to standard therapy were eligible. Patients received MORAb-202 intravenously at doses of 0.3 to 1.2 mg/kg once every three weeks. Endpoints included dose-limiting toxicities, safety, tumor responses, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03386942 (ClinicalTrials.gov). RESULTS Between November 28, 2017 and June 4, 2019, 22 patients (median age, 58.0 years) with advanced solid tumors were enrolled. Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 21 (95%) patients, with leukopenia and neutropenia in 10 (45%) patients each. One patient (0.9 mg/kg cohort) experienced two grade 3 dose-limiting toxicities: serum alanine aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl transferase increases. Following review by an independent adjudication committee, grade 1/2 interstitial lung disease thought to be related to MORAb-202 was identified in five (23%) patients. Complete response, partial response, and stable disease were observed in one, nine, and eight patients, respectively. The normalized predose serum FRα tended to be positively correlated with the maximum tumor shrinkage (R 2 = 0.2379; P = 0.0291). CONCLUSIONS The MTD of MORAb-202 was not reached. MORAb-202 demonstrated promising antitumor activity in FRα-positive solid tumors and was generally well-tolerated at the tested doses. Further investigations are required to establish appropriate dosage and clinical utility of MORAb-202.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline (A) or taxane T-based regimens are the standard early-line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer (BC). A previous study has shown a survival benefit of eribulin in heavily pretreated advanced/recurrent BC patients. The present study aimed to compare the benefit of eribulin with treatment of physician’s choice (TPC) as first- or second-line chemotherapy for recurrent HER2-negative BC.
Methods Patients with recurrent HER2-negative BC previously receiving anthracycline and taxane AT-based chemotherapy in the adjuvant or first-line setting were eligible for this open-label, randomized, parallel-group study. Patients were randomized 1:1 by the minimization method to receive either eribulin (1.4 mg/m2 on day one and eight of each 21-day cycle) or TPC (paclitaxel, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel or vinorelbine) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included time to treatment failure (TTF), overall response rate (ORR), duration of response, and safety (UMIN000009886). Results Between May 2013 and January 2017, 58 patients were randomized, 57 of whom (26 eribulin and 31 TPC) were analyzed for efficacy. The median PFS was 6.6 months with eribulin versus 4.2 months with TPC (hazard ratio: 0.72 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.40–1.30], p = 0.276). Median TTF was 6.0 months with eribulin versus 3.6 months with TPC (hazard ratio: 0.66 [95% CI, 0.39–1.14], p = 0.136). Other endpoints were also similar between groups. The most common grade ≥ 3 adverse event was neutropenia (22.2% with eribulin versus 16.1% with TPC). Conclusions Eribulin seemed to improve PFS or TTF compared with TPC without statistical significance. Further validation studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer have a poor prognosis. Sacituzumab govitecan is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an antibody targeting the human trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2), which is expressed in the majority of breast cancers, coupled to SN-38 (topoisomerase I inhibitor) through a proprietary hydrolyzable linker. METHODS In this randomized, phase 3 trial, we evaluated sacituzumab govitecan as compared with single-agent chemotherapy of the physician's choice (eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine) in patients with relapsed or refractory metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The primary end point was progression-free survival (as determined by blinded independent central review) among patients without brain metastases. RESULTS A total of 468 patients without brain metastases were randomly assigned to receive sacituzumab govitecan (235 patients) or chemotherapy (233 patients). The median age was 54 years; all the patients had previous use of taxanes. The median progression-free survival was 5.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.3 to 6.3; 166 events) with sacituzumab govitecan and 1.7 months (95% CI, 1.5 to 2.6; 150 events) with chemotherapy (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.32 to 0.52; P<0.001). The median overall survival was 12.1 months (95% CI, 10.7 to 14.0) with sacituzumab govitecan and 6.7 months (95% CI, 5.8 to 7.7) with chemotherapy (hazard ratio for death, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.59; P<0.001). The percentage of patients with an objective response was 35% with sacituzumab govitecan and 5% with chemotherapy. The incidences of key treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher were neutropenia (51% with sacituzumab govitecan and 33% with chemotherapy), leukopenia (10% and 5%), diarrhea (10% and <1%), anemia (8% and 5%), and febrile neutropenia (6% and 2%). There were three deaths owing to adverse events in each group; no deaths were considered to be related to sacituzumab govitecan treatment. CONCLUSIONS Progression-free and overall survival were significantly longer with sacituzumab govitecan than with single-agent chemotherapy among patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Myelosuppression and diarrhea were more frequent with sacituzumab govitecan. (Funded by Immunomedics; ASCENT ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02574455; EudraCT number, 2017-003019-21.).

Abstract
PURPOSE Review of utilization and efficacy of eribulin in Australian metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. METHODS Retrospective review of consecutive MBC patients treated with eribulin in tertiary Australian BC centers. Key inclusion criteria included eribulin administration in nonclinical trial setting from October 2014 onwards, known duration of MBC systemic treatments administered and known follow-up date after eribulin. Cox regression model was used to assess survival. RESULTS Study population comprised 266 patients from eight centers treated between October 2014 and May 2018. Median age at time of MBC diagnosis was 54 years with 18% of patients having de novo MBC. Seventy-six percent had hormone receptor positive (HRp) disease, 19% triple negative (TN) and 5% HER2-positive. CNS involvement was present in 36% of patients. Eribulin was most frequently given as third-line chemotherapy (36%), with no prior anthracycline exposure in 14% of total population. Eribulin was given more frequently as ≤third-line chemotherapy than > third-line in patients with TN disease, ≥ two metastatic sites or CNS disease. Median overall survival (OS) from eribulin administration was 9.2 (95% CI [8.0, 10.3]) months. CONCLUSION Similar efficacy was demonstrated for eribulin when given in the first-line to beyond the fifth line of chemotherapy in all subtypes of MBC.

Abstract
Introduction: Large and consistent evidence supports the use of eribulin mesylate in clinical practice in third or later line treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Conversely, there is paucity of data on eribulin efficacy in second line treatment. Methods: We investigated outcomes of 44 mTNBC patients treated from 2013 through 2019 with second line eribulin mesylate in a multicentre retrospective study involving 14 Italian oncologic centres. Results: Median age was 51 years, with 11.4% of these patients being metastatic at diagnosis. Median overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) from eribulin starting were 11.9 (95%CI: 8.4-15.5) and 3.5 months (95%CI: 1.7-5.3), respectively. We observed 8 (18.2%) partial responses and 10 (22.7%) patients had stable disease as best response. A longer PFS on previous first line treatment predicted a better OS (HR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.77-0.99, p= 0.038) and a longer PFS on eribulin treatment (HR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.85-0.98, p=0.018). Progression free survival to eribulin was also favorably influenced by prior adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.22-0.88, p=0.02). Eribulin was generally well tolerated, with grade 3-4 adverse events being recorded in 15.9% of patients. Conclusions: The outcomes described for our cohort are consistent with those reported in the pivotal Study301 and subsequent observational studies. Further data from adequately-sized, ad hoc trials on eribulin use in second line for mTNBC are warranted to confirm our findings.

Eribulin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer patients stratified by homologous recombination deficiency status: a multicenter randomized phase II clinical trial. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2021; 188:117-131. [PMID: 33763789 PMCID: PMC8233289 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-021-06184-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Purpose To investigate clinical usefulness of eribulin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Methods Patients in group A (aged < 65 years with homologous recombination deficiency, HRD, score ≥ 42, or those at any age with germline BRCA mutation, gBRCAm) were randomized to 4 cycles of paclitaxel plus carboplatin (group A1) or eribulin plus carboplatin (group A2), followed by 4 cycles of anthracycline. Patients in group B (aged < 65 years with HRD score < 42, or aged ≥ 65 years without gBRCAm) were randomized to 6 cycles of eribulin plus cyclophosphamide (group B1) or eribulin plus capecitabine (group B2); non-responders to the first 4 cycles of the eribulin-based therapy received anthracycline. Primary endpoint was pCR rate (ypT0-is, ypN0; centrally confirmed). Main secondary endpoint was safety. Results The full analysis set comprised 99 patients. The pCR rate was 65% (90% CI, 46%–81%) and 45% (27%–65%) in groups A1 and A2, respectively, and 19% (8%–35%) in both groups B1 and B2. No major difference was seen in secondary endpoints, but peripheral neuropathy incidence was 74% in group A1, whereas it was 32%, 22%, and 26% in groups A2, B1, and B2, respectively. Conclusions In patients aged < 65 years with high HRD score or gBRCAm, weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin and eribulin plus carboplatin followed by anthracycline resulted in a pCR rate of > 60% and > 40%, respectively, suggesting potential usefulness of patient stratification using HRD; pCR tended to be low in patients with HRD-negative tumors. Neurotoxicity was less frequent with the eribulin-based regimen. Trial registration:The study has been registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index-j.htm) with unique trial number UMIN000023162. The Japan Breast Cancer Research Group trial number is JBCRG-22. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10549-021-06184-w.

Abstract
A precise assessment of the efficacy of first-/second-line endocrine therapies (ET) ± target therapies (TT) in clinically-relevant subgroups of hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has not yet been conducted. To improve our current knowledge and support clinical decision-making, we thus conducted a systematic literature search to identify all first-/second-line phase II/III randomized clinical trials (RCT) of currently approved or most promising ET ± TT. Then, we performed a meta-analysis to assess progression-free (PFS) and/or overall survival (OS) benefit in several clinically-relevant prespecified subgroups. Thirty-five RCT were included (17,595 patients). Pooled results show significant reductions in the risk of relapse or death of 26-41% and 12-27%, respectively, depending on the clinical subgroup. Combination strategies proved to be more effective than single-agent ET (PFS hazard ratio (HR) range for combinations: 0.60-0.65 vs. HR range for single agent ET: 0.59-1.37; OS HR range for combinations: 0.74-0.87 vs. HR range for single agent ET: 0.68-0.98), with CDK4/6-inhibitors(i) + ET being the most effective regimen. Single agent ET showed comparable efficacy with ET+TT combinations in non-visceral (p = 0.63) and endocrine sensitive disease (p = 0.79), while mTORi-based combinations proved to be a valid therapeutic option in endocrine-resistant tumors, as well as PI3Ki + ET in PIK3CA-mutant tumors. These results strengthen international treatment guidelines and can aid therapeutic decision-making.

Abstract
Background The recommended starting dose of eribulin in patients with hepatic impairment is based on the Child-Pugh score, largely informed by a pharmacokinetic study of 18 patients. In the pivotal studies of eribulin in metastatic breast cancer (Study 301 and Study 305 [EMBRACE]), entry criteria and dose modifications were based on liver-function test (LFT) results rather than Child-Pugh score. In populations such as patients with metastatic breast cancer, in which metastatic infiltration is the predominant cause of hepatic impairment, using Child-Pugh score may be problematic; in clinical practice, it has been more common for oncologists to make dosing decisions based on LFTs. To address this, the effects of abnormal baseline LFT results on eribulin efficacy and safety were investigated. Methods In this pooled post hoc analysis, 1062 patients who were randomized to receive eribulin in Studies 301 and 305 were divided into 4 groups: (A) no elevated LFT results (no liver impairment); (B) increased levels of aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase; (C) decreased albumin and/or increased levels of aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase but not increased bilirubin; and (D) increased bilirubin. Patients were subcategorized by presence of liver metastasis. Drug exposure, dose intensity, and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were analyzed. Results Eribulin mesylate mean dosage was 0.82 (group A)–0.65 mg/m2/week (group D). Group D had shorter treatment, more dose reductions/delays, more TEAEs leading to dose modifications, and numerically lower objective response rates and clinical benefit rates versus groups A–C. TEAE rates leading to dose modification were similar between group D (45.5%) and groups A–C (range, 43.5–54.9%) in the absence of liver metastases, but higher in group D (91.3%) compared with groups A–C (range, 41.7–54.3%) if liver metastases were present. Conclusions Mild elevations in bilirubin levels were associated with increased toxicity and a greater requirement for dose modifications. Based both on these study data and existing recommendations, we propose a novel scheme to guide initial dose selection in patients with metastatic breast cancer and hepatic impairment that is based on LFTs rather than Child-Pugh score.

Abstract
Eribulin mesylate, a synthetic derivative of the anti-mitotic agent halichondrin B, has a unique tubulin-based mechanism of action that is distinct from other anti-microtubule agents including taxanes and vinca alkaloids. Consistent with this unique activity, eribulin has shown clinical efficacy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that progressed following prior taxane and anthracycline therapy. The evidence presented in this review indicates that eribulin represents a treatment option for patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Improved survival outcomes and better tolerability compared with vinorelbine supported the first approval of eribulin in China in 2019; eribulin was approved for women with locally advanced/metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer after treatment failure with at least two chemotherapy regimens, including an anthracycline and a taxane. Eribulin has also shown promising efficacy in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer when used in combination with trastuzumab or pertuzumab, and subgroup analyses from the Phase III clinical trials support the continued evaluation of eribulin in patients with triple-negative disease. The unique non-mitotic effects of eribulin, including vascular remodeling, coupled with its clinical efficacy and safety profile, may permit the broader use of this agent in patients with MBC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Eribulin mesylate (EM) is a fully synthetic macrocyclic ketone analogue of the marine natural product halichondrin. EM has been reported to be active in metastatic breast cancer. In this paper, we report efficacy and safety of data of EM in a retrospective, real-world series of patients with poor prognosis, hormone-refractory, or triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The analysis was carried out at 4 interrelated oncology centers. EM was delivered at the dose of 1.4 mg/m2 in 100 mL of normal saline over 2 to 5 minutes on days 1 and 8 every 21 days. EM was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Side effects were reported every cycle as per standard clinical practice and graded according to NCI-CTCAE, version 4.0. Time-to-progression and overall survival were reported. RESULTS In this series of 90 patients the overall response rate was 22%, and 21% and 23% in the hormonal-resistant group and the triple-negative one, respectively. Stable disease was recorded in 24%, 21%, and 27%, respectively, in the whole series, the hormonal-resistant group, and the triple-negative one, respectively. Time-to-progression was 3.5 months (range, 1 to 22 mo) in the whole series and 3.0 months (range, 1 to 14.7 mo) and 3.4 months (range, 2.2 to 16.2 mo) in the hormonal-resistant group and the triple-negative one, respectively. Overall survival reached a median of 11.4 months. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study, albeit retrospective, demonstrates the activity of this combination as third-line chemotherapy option in a challenging clinical setting such as triple-negative or hormone-resistant patients with breast cancer progressing after several lines of hormonal manipulations.

Novel Anti-FOLR1 Antibody-Drug Conjugate MORAb-202 in Breast Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells. Antibodies (Basel) 2021; 10:antib10010006. [PMID: 33535554 PMCID: PMC7930947 DOI: 10.3390/antib10010006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 11/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which are currently being developed, may become promising cancer therapeutics. Folate receptor α (FOLR1), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein, is an attractive target of ADCs, as it is largely absent from normal tissues but is overexpressed in malignant tumors of epithelial origin, including ovarian, lung, and breast cancer. In this study, we tested the effects of novel anti-FOLR1 antibody-eribulin conjugate MORAb-202 in breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. FOLR1 expression, cell proliferation, bystander killing effects, and apoptosis were evaluated in seven breast cancer and nine NSCLC cell lines treated with MORAb-202. Tumor growth and FOLR1 expression were assessed in T47D and MCF7 orthotopic xenograft mouse models after a single intravenous administration of MORAb-202 (5 mg/kg). MORAb-202 was associated with inhibited cell proliferation, with specific selectivity toward FOLR1-expressing breast cancer cell lines. Eribulin, the payload of MORAb-202, was unleashed in HCC1954 cells, diffused into intercellular spaces, and then killed the non-FOLR1-expressing MCF7 cells in co-culture systems. In orthotopic xenograft mouse models, FOLR1-expressing T47D tumors and non-FOLR1-expressing MCF7 tumors were suppressed upon MORAb-202 administration. The novel anti-FOLR1 antibody-eribulin conjugate MORAb-202 has potential antitumor effects in breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM This study aimed to investigate the progression type of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in patients undergoing eribulin chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated the cases of 66 consecutive patients with MBC who underwent eribulin chemotherapy. RESULTS A total of 15 patients (22.7%) received eribulin as a 3rd-line or later treatment, and 17 (25.8%) received eribulin as a 1st-line treatment. The overall response was complete response in 0 (0%), partial response in 15 (22.7%), stable disease in 27 (40.9%), and progressive disease in 24 (36.4%) patients. By the time of data cut-off, time to treatment failure (TTF) events had been observed in 60 patients (90.9%), among whom, 15 (25%) had disease progression due to NM, and 45 (75%) had disease progression due to PL. In the regimen before eribulin administration, among 49 patients, 24 (49.0%) had disease progression due to NM. Luminal-type patients and those with triple-negative breast cancer exhibited a similar tendency, i.e., the rate of NM was lower in the patients treated with eribulin. The rate of NM was lower in the patients treated with eribulin in the 1st-line setting than that in patients treated with eribulin as a later treatment. CONCLUSION Eribulin has a potential antitumor mechanism to prevent new metastasis. Eribulin may be effective against both the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and new metastasis.
