Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of Ru'ai Shuhou recipe for the prevention of lung metastases from breast cancer: a retrospective study based on propensity score matching. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1406862. [PMID: 39156102 PMCID: PMC11327059 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1406862] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Breast cancer lung metastasis occurs at a high rate and at an early stage, and is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Ru'ai Shuhou Recipe (RSR) intervention on the occurrence of recurrent metastases, especially lung metastases, in postoperative patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort study was implemented at Shuguang Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China between January 2014 to January 2019. Female patients were included according to the propensity score matching (PSM) method and balanced on the basis of general and clinical information such as age, body mass index, neo-adjuvant therapy, and surgical approach. Patients with pathological diagnosis of breast cancer were included in this study. Breast cancer patients were divided into exposed and non-exposed groups according to whether they took RSR-based botanical drugs after surgery. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox survival analysis to explore the relationship between RSR and 5-year disease-free survival and incidence of lung metastases in breast cancer patients after surgery. Results 360 female patients were assessed and 190 patients were included in the study after PSM (95 in each of the exposed and non-exposed groups). Of the 190 patients after PSM, 55.79% were over 50 years of age. The mean follow-up time was 60.55 ± 14.82 months in the exposed group and 57.12 ± 16.37 months in the non-exposed group. There was no significant baseline characteristics difference between two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 5-year incidence of lung metastases was significantly lower in the exposed group, and the disease-free survival of patients was significantly longer. Cox univariate and multivariate analysis showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for the development of breast cancer lung metastasis, with risk ratios of 17.188 and 5.812, while RSR treatment was an independent protective factor against the development of breast cancer lung metastasis, with a risk ratio of 0.290. Conclusion Standard biomedical treatment combined with RSR intervention can better prevent breast cancer recurrence and metastasis, reduce the incidence of lung metastasis in patients, and improve long-term prognosis.

Real-world use patterns, effectiveness, and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan for second-line and later-line treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in the United States. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2024:10.1007/s10549-024-07412-9. [PMID: 38904892 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-024-07412-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) have poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, is approved for patients with mTNBC who have received ≥ 2 systemic therapies (≥ 1 in the metastatic setting) based on the ASCENT study (NCT02574455). The current study describes real-world SG use and outcomes in patients with mTNBC in the United States. METHODS This retrospective, observational study included adult patients with mTNBC from the ConcertAI Patient360™ database who received SG in the second line (2L) and later from April 2020 to May 2022. SG use patterns, effectiveness, and tolerability are described. RESULTS This analysis included 230 patients (median age 60 years, 26% Black, 17% with ECOG performance status ≥ 2, 66% in community settings; median of 2 prior lines of treatment in the metastatic setting); median follow-up was 7.2 months. Median (95% CI) real-world overall survival was 10.0 (8.3-11.1) months for all patients and 13.9 (9.8-not estimable) months in the 2L subgroup (n = 77). Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administered concomitantly with SG in 134 (58%) patients; 35 (15%) received G-CSF for the first time. Median (IQR) time from SG start to G-CSF use was 8.5 (8.0-29.0) days. Seventeen (7%) patients discontinued SG due to toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Using a real-world, ethnically diverse population of patients with mTNBC presenting with poor prognosis, these data reinforced the findings from ASCENT. In routine clinical practice, SG is an effective treatment in the 2L setting, consistent with treatment guidelines.

Real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in patients treated with eribulin after prior phosphoinositide 3-Kinase inhibitor treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2024; 205:201-210. [PMID: 38310616 PMCID: PMC11062963 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-023-07080-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE In 2010, the US Food and Drug Administration approved eribulin for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Since then, the treatment landscape has evolved with many new therapy classes, a more recent one being the small molecule inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K). We sought to characterize the treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of patients with MBC who received eribulin following prior treatment with a PI3K inhibitor. METHODS A retrospective cohort study based on medical record review included MBC patients who initiated eribulin between March 2019 and September 2020 following prior treatment with a PI3K inhibitor was conducted. Patient demographics, treatment characteristics, and clinical outcomes were analyzed descriptively. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated from the initiation of eribulin therapy using Kaplan-Meier analyses. RESULTS 82 eligible patients were included. Patients' median age at eribulin initiation was 62 years; 86.5% had hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative tumors. Eribulin was most often administered in the second or third line (82.9%) in the metastatic setting. Best overall response on eribulin was reported as complete or partial response in 72% of the patients. The median rwPFS was 18.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 12.4-not estimable); median OS was not reached. The estimated rwPFS and OS rates at 12 months were 63.3% (95% CI, 50.5-73.7) and 82.6% (95% CI, 72.4-89.3), respectively. CONCLUSION Our real-world study suggests that eribulin may be a potential treatment option for MBC patients who fail a prior PI3K inhibitor.

COST EFFECTIVENESS AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION 2024; 22:21. [PMID: 38459569 PMCID: PMC10924420 DOI: 10.1186/s12962-024-00528-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is responsible for 10-20% cases of breast cancer and is resulting in rising healthcare costs. Thus, health-economic evaluations are needed to relate clinical outcomes and costs of treatment options and to provide recommendations of action from a health-economic perspective. METHODS We investigated the cost-benefit-ratio of approved treatment options in metastatic TNBC in Germany by applying the efficiency frontier approach. These included sacituzumab-govitecan (SG), eribulin, vinorelbine, and capecitabine. Clinical benefit was measured as (i) median overall survival (mOS) and (ii) health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in terms of time to symptom worsening (TSW). To assess medical benefits, literature was systematically reviewed in PubMed for (i) and (ii), respectively. Treatment costs were calculated considering annual direct outpatient treatment costs from a statutory healthcare payer perspective. It was intended that both, (i) and (ii), yield an efficiency frontier. RESULTS Annual direct outpatient treatment costs amounted to EUR 176,415.21 (SG), EUR 47,414.14 (eribulin), EUR 13,711.35 (vinorelbine), and EUR 3,718.84 (capecitabine). Systematic literature review of (i) and statistical analysis resulted in OS values of 14.3, 9.56, 9.44, and 7.46 months, respectively. Capecitabine, vinorelbine, and SG are part of the efficiency frontier including OS. The highest additional benefit per additional cost was determined for vinorelbine, followed by SG. Systematic review of (ii) revealed that no TSW data of TNBC patients receiving vinorelbine were available, preventing the presentation of an efficiency frontier including HRQoL. CONCLUSIONS Vinorelbine is most cost-effective, followed by SG. Health-economic evaluations support decision-makers to assess treatment options within one indication area. In Germany, the efficiency frontier can provide decision support for the pricing of innovative interventions. Results of our analysis may thus guide reimbursement determination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has been documented as the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer. This study aimed to analyze antitumor and protumor immune activities, and their ratios as significant prognostic biomarkers in metastatic TNBC (mTNBC). METHODS A multicenter cohort study was conducted among 103 de novo mTNBC patients. The expression of CD8 and CD163 was evaluated using immunohistochemistry staining, CD4 and FOXP3 using double-staining immunohistochemistry, and PD-L1 using immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed that high CD4/FOXP3 (HR 1.857; 95% CI 1.049-3.288; p = 0.034) and the CD8/CD163 ratio (HR 2.089; 95% CI 1.174-3.717; p = 0.012) yield significantly improved 1 year overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high levels of CD4 (p = 0.023), CD8 (p = 0.043), CD4/FOXP3 (p = 0.016), CD8/FOXP3 (p = 0.005), CD8/CD163 (p = 0.005) ratios were significantly associated with higher rate of 1 year OS. Furthermore, 1 year OS was directly correlated with antitumor CD4 (R = 0.233; p = 0.018) and CD8 (R = 0.219; p = 0.026) and was indirectly correlated with protumor CD163 and FOXP3 through CD4/FOXP3 (R = 0.282; p = 0.006), CD4/CD163 (R = 0.239; p = 0.015), CD8/FOXP3 (R = 0.260; p = 0.008), and CD8/CD163 (R = 0.258; p = 0.009). CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate that high levels of CD4/FOXP3 and CD8/CD163 significantly improved the 1 year OS in de novo mTNBC patients. Thus, we recommend the application of these markers as prognosis determination and individual treatment decision.

The effectiveness and safety of palbociclib and ribociclib in stage IV HR+/HER-2 negative breast cancer: a nationwide real world comparative retrospective cohort study. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1203684. [PMID: 38162489 PMCID: PMC10757634 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1203684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Palbociclib and ribociclib are indicated in the first-line treatment of hormonal receptor-positive HER-2 negative (HR+/HER2- negative) advanced breast cancer. Although randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) proved their clinical efficacy, there are no observational studies yet to validate the clinical findings in the real-world. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness and safety profiles of palbociclib and ribociclib in Qatar. Materials and methods A retrospective observational study was conducted on HR+/HER-2-negative stage-IV breast cancer patients receiving palbociclib or ribociclib in the state of Qatar. Clinical data were collected from the National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) in Qatar using Cerner®. Primary outcomes were progression-free-survival (PFS) and overall-survival (OS) generated by Kaplan-Meier curves. Moreover, safety profiles of both two treatments were evaluated. Results The data from 108 patients were included in the final analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in PFS between the palbociclib and ribociclib groups; PFS was 17.85 versus 13.55 months, respectively(p> 0.05). Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference in OS between the two medications, 29.82 versus 31.72 months, respectively(p>0.05). Adverse events were similar between the two groups. Neutropenia was the most common side effect in the study population accounting for 59.3% of the patients. Conclusions Therefore, both treatments have similar efficacy and safety profiles. Further research on a larger-scale population and longer follow-up period is recommeneded.

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
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 Brain metastasis is an important cause of breast cancer-related death. Aim We evaluated the relationships between breast cancer subtype and prognosis
among patients with brain metastasis at the initial diagnosis. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was searched to
identify patients with brain metastasis from breast cancer between 2010 and
2015. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify
factors that were associated with survival among patients with initial brain
metastases. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to compare survival outcomes
according to breast cancer subtype. Results Among 752 breast cancer patients with brain metastasis at diagnosis, 140
patients (18.6%) underwent primary surgery and 612 patients (81.4%) did not
undergo surgery, while 460 patients (61.2%) received chemotherapy and 292
patients (38.8%) did not receive chemotherapy. Multivariable analysis
revealed that, relative to HR+/HER2– breast cancer, HR–/HER2– breast cancer
was associated with significantly poorer overall survival (hazard ratio:
2.52, 95% confidence interval: 1.99–3.21), independent of age, sex, race,
marital status, insurance status, grade, liver involvement, lung
involvement, primary surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The median
overall survival intervals were 12 months for HR+/HER2−, 19 months for
HR+/HER2+, 11 months for HR−/HER2+, and 6 months for HR–/HER2–
(P < .0001). Relative to HR+/HER2– breast cancer,
HR–/HER2– breast cancer was associated with a significantly higher risk of
mortality among patients, and the association was stronger among patients
who received chemotherapy (p for interaction = .005). Conclusions Breast cancer subtype significantly predicted overall survival among patients
with brain metastasis at diagnosis.

Tanni KA, Truong CB, Johnson BS, Qian J. Comparative effectiveness and safety of eribulin in advanced or metastatic breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. 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.
