Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown efficacy against metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) but only for PD-L1positive disease. The randomized, placebo-controlled ALICE trial ( NCT03164993 , 24 May 2017) evaluated the addition of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) to immune-stimulating chemotherapy in mTNBC. Patients received pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and low-dose cyclophosphamide in combination with atezolizumab (atezo-chemo; n = 40) or placebo (placebo-chemo; n = 28). Primary endpoints were descriptive assessment of progression-free survival in the per-protocol population (>3 atezolizumab and >2 PLD doses; n = 59) and safety in the full analysis set (FAS; all patients starting therapy; n = 68). Adverse events leading to drug discontinuation occurred in 18% of patients in the atezo-chemo arm (7/40) and in 7% of patients in the placebo-chemo arm (2/28). Improvement in progression-free survival was indicated in the atezo-chemo arm in the per-protocol population (median 4.3 months versus 3.5 months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.57; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.33-0.99; log-rank P = 0.047) and in the FAS (HR = 0.56; 95% CI 0.33-0.95; P = 0.033). A numerical advantage was observed for both the PD-L1positive (n = 27; HR = 0.65; 95% CI 0.27-1.54) and PD-L1negative subgroups (n = 31; HR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.27-1.21). The progression-free proportion after 15 months was 14.7% (5/34; 95% CI 6.4-30.1%) in the atezo-chemo arm versus 0% in the placebo-chemo arm. The addition of atezolizumab to PLD/cyclophosphamide was tolerable with an indication of clinical benefit, and the findings warrant further investigation of PD1/PD-L1 blockers in combination with immunomodulatory chemotherapy.

Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx®) as Adjuvant Treatment in Early-Stage Luminal B-like Breast Cancer: A Feasibility Phase II Trial. Curr Oncol 2021; 28:5167-5178. [PMID: 34940072 PMCID: PMC8700739 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol28060433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy for Luminal B-like breast cancers usually includes anthracycline-based regimens. However, some patients are reluctant to receive chemotherapy because of side-effects, especially alopecia, and ask for a “less intensive” or personalized approach. Patients and methods: We conducted a phase II feasibility trial to evaluate pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Caelyx®) as adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients who received surgery for pT1–3, any N, and luminal B-like early-stage breast cancer (EBC) candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy were included. PLD was administered intravenously at 20 mg/m2 biweekly for eight courses. Endocrine therapy was given according to menopausal status. Trastuzumab was administered in HER2-positive disease. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the feasibility of this regimen, defined as the ability of a patient to achieve a relative dose intensity (RDI) of at least 85% of the eight cycles of treatment. Secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs), tolerability, breast cancer-free survival, disease-free survival, and overall survival. Results: From March 2016 to July 2018, 63 patients were included in the trial. Median age was 49 years (range: 33–76), with mostly pre- and peri-menopausal (65%) and stage I–II (94%). Only 5% of patients had HER2-positive EBC. Median RDI was 100% (range: 12.5–100%; interquartile range, IQR: 87.5–100%). The proportion of patients meeting the primary endpoint was 84% (95% confidence interval, CI: 73–92%). Overall, 55 out of 63 enrolled patients completed treatment (87%, 95% CI: 77–94%). Most common AEs were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (12.2%), fatigue (10.4%), and mucositis (8.5%). Only 13% of patients had G3 AEs. None had alopecia. After a median follow-up of 3.9 years (range: 0.3–4.7) two distant events were observed, and all patients were alive at the date of last visit. Conclusions: The trial successfully met its primary endpoint: the regimen was feasible and well tolerated and could be considered for further evaluation as a treatment option for patients with contraindications to standard anthracyclines or requiring a personalized, less intensive approach.

Impact of Pathologic Complete Response following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy ± Trastuzumab in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2021; 2021:6639763. [PMID: 33628241 PMCID: PMC7895557 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6639763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 01/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This study was designed to examine the relationship between breast cancer molecular subtypes and pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) ± trastuzumab, in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Methods Female patients with LABC (T2–T4, N0–N2, and M0) who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy + trastuzumab if HER2+ subtype, followed by surgery and radiotherapy ± hormonal therapy, were identified. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) in the breast and axilla (ypT0/ypN0), with final analysis on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Six hundred eighty-one patients with a median age of 44 years, premenopausal: 70%, median tumour size: 7.0 cm (range 4–11 cm), stage II B: 27% and III A/III B: 73%, ER+/HER2−: 40.8%, ER−/HER2−: 23%, ER+/HER2+: 17.7%, and ER−/HER2+: 18.5%. Overall pCR (ypT0/ypN0) was 23%. The pCR rates based on molecular subtypes were ER+/HER2−: 9%; ER+/HER2+: 29%; ER−/HER2−: 31%; and ER−/HER2+: 37%. At median follow-up of 61 months, ER+/HER2+ and ER+/HER2− subtypes had the best 5-year DFS and OS; meanwhile, ER−/HER2+ and ER−/HER2− subtypes had the worst. Conclusion Women with ER+/HER2− disease are the least likely to achieve pCR, with the highest rates in HER2+ and triple-negative subgroups. Degree of response is associated with OS; despite the comparatively higher likelihood of achieving pCR in ER−/HER2+ and triple-negative, these subgroups experience a survival detriment. We are consistent with the published data that patients who attain the pathological complete response defined as ypT0/ypN0 have improved outcomes.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and docetaxel as neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer (BC) in patients with axillary lymph node metastasis. Methods In this single-arm study, 91 patients with clinical stage IIA–IIIc breast cancer received six cycles of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin plus docetaxel as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Trastuzumab was allowed for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive tumors. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) in the breast after surgery. The overall response rate (ORR), Miller–Payne (MP) score of the primary tumors, and incidence of adverse events were also evaluated. Results In total, 88 patients completed all cycles of NAC. Fourteen patients (15.4%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.8–22.9) achieved pCR. The ORR was 89% (95% CI = 82.5–95.6), and 72 lesions (79.1%) were rated as MP grade 3 or higher. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was within the normal range, although four (4.4%) patients experienced an LVEF decline exceeding 10%. No symptomatic cardiac events were reported. Conclusion Preoperative NAC with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and docetaxel appears effective and safe for treating BC with axillary lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) targeting PD-1 or CTLA-4 has emerged as an important treatment modality for several cancer forms. In hormone receptor positive breast cancer (HR + BC), this therapeutic approach is largely unexplored. We have started a clinical trial, ICON (CA209-9FN), evaluating CPI combined with selected chemotherapy in patients with metastatic HR + BC. The tumor lymphocyte infiltration is predictive for the effect of chemotherapy in BC. In ICON, we use anthracycline, which are considered as "immunogenic" chemotherapy, and low-dose cyclophosphamide, which has been reported to counter immunosuppressive cells. METHODS ICON is a randomized exploratory phase IIb study evaluating the safety and efficacy of combining nivolumab (nivo; anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (ipi; anti-CTLA-4) with chemotherapy in subjects with metastatic HR + BC. Primary objectives are aassessment of toxicity and progression-free survival. The trial will enrol 75 evaluable subjects, randomized 2:3 into two arms (A:B). Patients in Arm A receive only chemotherapy, i.e. pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD 20 mg/m2 intravenously every 2nd week) + cyclophosphamide (cyclo; 50 mg per day, first 2 weeks in each 4 week cycle). Patients in Arm B receive PLD + cyclo + ipilimumab (1 mg intravenously every 6th week) + nivolumab (240 mg intravenously every 2nd week). Patients in arm A will be offered ipi + nivo after disease progression. DISCUSSION ICON is among the first clinical trials combining chemotherapy with PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade, and the first in BC. There is a strong preclinical rationale for exploring if anthracyclines, which are considered to induce immunogenic cell death, synergize with CPI, and for combining PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade, as these checkpoints are important in different phases of the immune response. If the ICON trial suggests acceptable safety and provide a signal of clinical efficacy, further studies are warranted. The cross-over patients from Arm A receiving ipilimumab/nivolumab without concomitant chemotherapy represent the first BC cohort receiving this therapy. The ICON trial includes a series of translational sub-projects addressing clinically important knowledge gaps. These studies may uncover biomarkers or mechanisms of efficacy and resistance, thereby informing the development of novel combinatory regimes and of personalised biomarker-based therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (CI) represents an important novel development in cancer treatment. Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is incurable, with a median survival of only ~ 13 months. We have initiated the randomized placebo-controlled phase IIb study ALICE, evaluating PD-L1 blockade combined with immunogenic chemotherapy in mTNBC patients (n = 75). Intriguingly, the host immune response is strongly predictive for the effect of chemotherapy in mTNBC. In the ALICE trial, we release the brake on the immune response by use of atezolizumab, an inhibitory antibody against PD-L1. We utilize anthracyclines, shown to trigger the immune system, and low-dose cyclophosphamide, which has been reported to counter immunosuppressive cells. METHODS ALICE is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory phase II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab when combined with immunogenic chemotherapy in subjects with mTNBC. The trial will enroll 75 evaluable subjects, randomized 2:3 into two arms (A:B). The patients receive identical chemotherapy, i.e. pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD 20 mg/m2 intravenously every 2nd week) + cyclophosphamide (50 mg per day, first 2 weeks in each 4 week cycle). Patients in arm A receive placebo, while patients in arm B receive atezolizumab. The primary objectives are assessment of toxicity and progression-free survival. The secondary objectives include overall survival, tumor response rate, clinical benefit rate, patient reported outcomes, biomarkers and assessment of tumor-immune evolution during therapy. DISCUSSION The question of how CI should be combined with chemotherapy, is a key challenge facing the field. There is a strong preclinical rationale for exploring if anthracyclines, which are considered to induce immunogenic cell death, synergize with PD-L1 blockade, and if low-dose cyclophosphamide counters tumor tolerance. However, the data from patients is as yet very limited, and the clinical evaluation of these hypotheses is among the key objectives in the ALICE trial. The study includes extensive biobanking and translational sub-projects, also addressing other clinically important questions. These analyses may uncover mechanisms of drug efficacy or tumor resistance, and identify biomarkers allowing personalized therapy. If the trial suggests acceptable safety of the ALICE therapy and provide a signal of clinical efficacy, further studies are warranted.

Metronomic chemotherapy of cyclophosphamide plus methotrexate for advanced breast cancer: Real-world data analyses and experience of one center. Cancer Commun (Lond) 2020; 40:222-233. [PMID: 32390331 PMCID: PMC7238669 DOI: 10.1002/cac2.12029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Revised: 01/02/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Real‐world data of the CM regimen [cyclophosphamide (CTX) plus methotrexate (MTX)] in metronomic pattern for advanced breast cancer is limited to small‐sample or retrospective studies. This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness and safety of CM regimen in treating advanced breast cancer and to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from metronomic CM regimen. Methods Patients with advanced breast cancer who received the metronomic CM regimen at least once between January 2009 and February 2019 in Sun Yat‐sen University Cancer Center were included. Clinicopathological characteristics were collected. Overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS) were assessed using Kaplan‐Meier estimates. Characteristics between patients with PFS < 6 months and ≥6 months were compared using the Chi‐square test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression model was used to estimate the prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Results A total of 186 patients were included. The median age and follow‐up were 49 years and 13.3 months, respectively. Over 50% of the patients were estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor‐positive, and 60.8% had been heavily treated (≥3 lines). The objective response rate was 3.8%, the disease control rate at 12 weeks was 41.4%, and the clinical benefit rate at 24 weeks was 31.2% (58/186). The median PFS was 4.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.6‐4.7 months], the median duration of clinical benefit was 9.5 months (95% CI: 8.2‐10.8 months), and the median OS was 26.8 months (95% CI: 20.9‐37.7 months). Multivariate analysis for PFS revealed the CM regimen as maintenance therapy and no liver metastasis as favorable prognostic factors. Furthermore, patients without liver metastasis were more likely to have a PFS over 6 months than those with liver involvement (P = 0.022). Liver, lymph node, and brain metastases were unfavorable prognostic factors for OS. The CM regimen was well‐tolerated without newly reported adverse events. Conclusions The CM regimen was effective in selected patients. In clinical practice, it would be better used as maintenance therapy and in patients without liver metastasis. Further follow‐up investigation should be performed to examine its effect when used in combination with other treatments and determine predictive biomarkers.

Abstract
Doxorubicin represents a valuable choice for different cancers, although the severe side effects occurring at the high effective dose limits its clinical use. In the present study, potential strategies to potentiate low-dose doxorubicin efficacy, including a metronomic schedule, characterized by a short and repeated exposure to the anticancer drug, and the combination with the natural chemosensitizing sesquiterpenes β-caryophyllene and β-caryophyllene oxide, were assessed in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. The involvement of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the HepG2–chemosensitization to doxorubicin was evaluated. Also, the direct interaction of caryophyllene sesquiterpenes with P-gp was characterized by molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies. A metronomic schedule allowed us to enhance the low-dose doxorubicin cytotoxicity and the combination with caryophyllane sesquiterpenes further potentiated this effect. Also, an increased intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin and rhodamine 123 induced by caryophyllane sesquiterpenes was found, thus suggesting their interference with P-gp function. A lowered expression of P-gp induced by the combinations, with respect to doxorubicin alone, was observed too. Docking studies found that the binding site of caryophyllane sesquiterpene was next to the ATP binding domain of P-gp and that β-caryophyllene possessed the stronger binding affinity and higher inhibition potential calculated by MM-PBSA. Present findings strengthen our hypothesis about the potential chemosensitizing power of caryophyllane sesquiterpenes and suggest that combining a chemosensitizer and a metronomic schedule can represent a suitable strategy to overcome drawbacks of doxorubicin chemotherapy while exploiting its powerful activity.

Abstract
Metronomic chemotherapy, continuous and dose-dense administration of chemotherapeutic drugs with lowered doses, is being evaluated for substituting, augmenting, or appending conventional maximum tolerated dose regimens, with preclinical and clinical studies for the past few decades. To date, the principle mechanisms of its action include impeding tumoral angiogenesis and modulation of hosts' immune system, affecting directly tumor cells, their progenitors, and neighboring stromal cells. Its better toxicity profile, lower cost, and easier use are main advantages over conventional therapies. The evidence of metronomic chemotherapy for personalized medicine is growing, starting with unfit elderly patients and also for palliative treatment. The literature reviewed in this article mainly demonstrates that metronomic chemotherapy is advantageous for selected patients and for certain types of malignancies, which make it a promising therapeutic approach for filling in the gaps. More clinical studies are needed to establish a solidified role for metronomic chemotherapy with other treatment models in modern cancer management.

Abstract
Metronomic therapy has been gaining importance in the neoadjuvant setting of breast cancer treatment. Its clinical benefits may involve antiangiogenic machinery. Cancer cells induce angiogenesis to support tumor growth by secreting factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In breast cancer, Trastuzumab (TZM) based treatment is of key importance and is believed to reduce diameter and volume of blood vessels as well as vascular permeability. Here in we investigated serum levels of angiogenic factors VEGF and MCSF in patients receiving metronomic neoadjuvant therapy with or without TZM. We observed in HER2+ cohort stable levels of MCSF through treatment, whereas VEGF trend was of decreasing levels. In HER2- cohort we observed increasing levels of MCSF and VEGF trend. Overall, HER2+ patients had better pathological response to treatment. These findings suggest that angiogenic pathway may be involved in TZM anti-tumoral effect in the neoadjuvant setting.

Abstract
Dexrazoxane is indicated as a cardioprotective agent for patients receiving doxorubicin who are at increased risk for cardiotoxicity. Concerns have been raised on the use of dexrazoxane, particularly in adjuvant therapy, because of the risk of interference with the antitumor effect of doxorubicin. Two meta-analyses in metastatic breast cancer have rejected this hypothesis, but have shown an apparent increase in the severity of myelosuppression when dexrazoxane is used. Here, we analyzed retrospectively a cohort of our institute database to assess whether the addition of dexrazoxane causes more bone marrow suppression in breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin-based adjuvant therapy. The secondary objectives were assessment of the incidence of febrile neutropenia, dose-schedule modifications, recorded cardiac events or cardiac test abnormalities, and overall survival. Eight hundred and twenty-two female patients who received adjuvant (or neoadjuvant) doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide for breast cancer between 2001 and 2013 were included. One hundred and four of these patients also received dexrazoxane concurrently with the adjuvant treatment. Hospital records and, when accessible, community clinic records were reviewed. The median follow-up duration was 7 years for patients receiving dexrazoxane and 7.5 years for patients not receiving dexrazoxane. 85.6% of patients were alive at data lock. Compared with the nondexrazoxane group, patients who received dexrazoxane were older (median age at diagnosis 59 vs. 52 years) and more likely to receive dose-dense AC therapy (73 vs. 59%) and adjuvant trastuzumab treatment (29 vs. 15%). Compared with the nondexrazoxane group, dexrazoxane treatment was associated with a higher rate of hematological side effects: leukopenia (48 vs. 39%), neutropenia (45 vs. 31%, P=0.003), anemia (86 vs. 73%, P=0.005), and thrombocytopenia (37 vs. 22%, P=0.001). There were more febrile neutropenia hospitalizations (20 vs. 10%, P=0.001) and dose reductions (22 vs. 8%, P<0.001) in the dexrazoxane group, but no significant difference in the incidence of treatment delays or cancellations. The incidence of cardiac events was the same in both treatment groups with and without dexrazoxane. There was a nonsignificantly lower mortality rate in the dexrazoxane group (9.6%) compared with the nondexrazoxane group (15.0%) at data lock. Adding dexrazoxane to doxorubicin in adjuvant therapy patients leads to higher rates of bone marrow suppression in all blood components, as well as more febrile neutropenia events, and dose reductions. No differences in events defined as cardiac toxicities were detected. Dexrazoxane had no detrimental effect on survival, despite the higher hematological toxicity, the older median age, and the higher prevalence of HER2-positive disease in the dexrazoxane group.

Abstract
In the last few years, nanostructures have gained considerable interest for the safe delivery of therapeutic agents. Several therapeutic approaches have been reported, such as molecular diagnosis, disease detection, nanoscale immunotherapy and anticancer drug delivery that could be integrated into clinical use. The current paper aims to highlight the background that supports the use of nanoparticles conjugated with different types of therapeutic agents, applicable in targeted therapy and cancer research, with a special emphasis on hematological malignancies. A particular key point is the functional characterization of nonviral delivery systems, such as gold nanoparticles, liposomes and dendrimers. The paper also presents relevant published data related to microRNA and RNA interference delivery using nanoparticles in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest morbidity and mortality. It is helpful to reduce the rate of tumor recurrence and metastasis by treating breast cancer with adjuvant chemotherapy, so as to increase the cure rate or survival of patients. In recent years, liposomes have been regarded as a kind of new carrier for targeted drugs. Being effective for enhancing drug efficacy and reducing side effects, they have been widely used for developing anticancer drugs. As a kind of anthracycline with high anticancer activity, doxorubicin can treat or alleviate a variety of malignant tumors effectively when it is used on its own or in combination with other anticancer drugs. Although liposomal doxorubicin has been extensively used in the adjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer, its exact therapeutic efficacy and side effects have not been definitely proven. Various clinical studies have adopted different combined regimes, dosages, and staging, so their findings differ to certain extent. This paper reviews the clinical application of liposomal doxorubicin in the adjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer and illustrates therapeutic effects and side effects of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and non-PLD (NPLD) in clinical research, in order to discuss the strategies for applying these drugs in such adjuvant chemotherapy, looking forward to providing references for related research and clinical treatment in terms of dosage, staging, combined regimes, and analysis methods and so on.

Abstract
The concept of metronomic chemotherapy (MC) has evolved from a descriptive preclinical phenomenon encompassing inhibition of angiogenesis to a clinically validated treatment concept involving multiple potential mechanisms of action. Clinicians are progressively more incline to consider MC as a component of mainstream medical oncology practice in advanced breast cancer. However, more recently MC has been tested even in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting, taking the opportunity to obtain tumor specimens and blood samples, in order to identify tumor-specific or patient-specific biomarkers for personalizing treatments. In addition, the antiangiogenic and pro-immune nature of metronomic chemotherapy made triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) a good candidate for exploring low-dose maintenance treatment in the adjuvant setting or in combination with immunomodulatory drugs. The potential development of MC in breast cancer pass through the research to identify biomarkers and individual tumor characteristics that can better address the use of this treatment strategy in the future. Finally, the subjective attitude of patients represents one of the major factors that influence the choice and acceptance of a therapeutic program. Personal preference and considerations about quality of life should guide the treatment choice eventually prioritizing the use of MC. Nevertheless, more robust data from randomized phase III trials are needed in the future, in order to make clinicians more confident in using metronomic strategies.

A multicenter prospective phase II trial of neoadjuvant epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and 5-fluorouracil (FEC100) followed by cisplatin-docetaxel with or without trastuzumab in locally advanced breast cancer. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2015; 77:147-53. [PMID: 26563257 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-015-2906-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2015] [Accepted: 11/04/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of the (FEC100) followed by cisplatin/docetaxel with and without trastuzumab as primary chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). METHODS Eighty patients with LABC (T2-T4, N0-N2, M0) were enrolled to receive 24 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and 5-fluorouracil (FEC100) followed by cisplatin and docetaxel, plus trastuzumab if HER2 positive. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) in breast and axilla in separate HER2-negative and HER2-positive cohort. RESULTS Eighty patients were evaluable for analysis of which 51 were HER2 negative and 29 HER2 positive: median age: 43 years, premenopausal: 82%, median tumor size: 7.0 cm (4-10), stage IIB: 25% and IIIA/IIIB: 75%, both ER/PR positive: 56%, HER2 positive (3+) by IHC staining: 36%. Clinical complete response was seen in 48%, and clinical partial response was seen in 52%. Overall the pathologic complete response (pCR) was 36% in breast, 64 % in axilla, and 32% in both breast and axilla. Analysis of pCR in breast and axilla, as a function of the hormonal receptor (HR) and HER2, was as follows: HR(+)/HER2(-): 11%; HR(+)/HER(+): 56 %; HR(-)/HER2(-): 36%; HR(-)/HER2(+): 62%. CONCLUSION In this series of locally advanced breast cancer, the combination of (FEC100) followed by cisplatin/docetaxel with and without trastuzumab was very active obtaining an impressive rate of pCR, particularly in HER2-positive and triple negative disease, which merits further investigation.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the foremost common malignancy among the female population around the world. Female breast cancer incidence rates have increased since 1980, slowed in 1990, the rate of increase have leveled off since 2001. In spite of the advances in the early detection, treatment, surgery and radiation support, almost 70% of the patients develop metastasis and die of the disease. Around 10% of the patients when diagnosed with breast cancer have metastases. Survival among the breast cancer patients have increased due to the introduction of novel single agent, combination of chemotherapeutic agents and targeted biologic agents, which is breast cancer specific. The staging of tumor-node-metastasis is significant for the prognosis and treatment. Predominantly the combination of chemotherapeutic regimen is given to improve the rate of clinical benefit and the overall survival rate. Novel mono-therapeutic options are being used often in metastatic setting as they will not be able to endure the toxicity of the combination regimen. Usually, endocrine therapy is recommended for hormone-responsive breast cancer due to efficacy and favorable side effect profile but chemotherapy becomes an option when endocrine therapy fails. This review summarizes the newer therapeutic options for early breast cancer and advanced breast cancer that are pretreated heavily on other chemotherapeutic agents. Further it provides monotherapies and other emerging novel combination regime which can be opted for first line or second line setting.

Abstract
Metronomic therapy (MT) refers to repetitive, low doses of chemotherapy drugs. MT exerts an effect not only on tumour cells, but also on their microenvironment. In particular, the low-dose schedule compromises the repairing process of endothelial cells, leading to an anti-angiogenic effect. In addition to the anti-angiogenic effect, MT could have an immunological action through the restoration of the anticancer effect of the immune system and induction of tumour dormancy. Consequently the association of targeted therapy with anti-angiogenic properties or specific immunologic drugs could enhance the efficacy of MT. During the past 15 years, several studies have been published evaluating the metronomic strategy in breast cancer. We conducted a systematic review of the results of phase I, II and III studies testing MT in breast cancer patients. The analyses included the efficacy and toxicity data of MT, and the future development of this strategy in breast cancer are also discussed. The systematic review presented here suggests that MT is a treatment option for breast cancer patients, has a low toxicity profile, efficacy in most patients and has potentially significant cost-effective advantages for public health.

Abstract
Since its inception in 2000, metronomic chemotherapy has undergone major advances as an antiangiogenic therapy. The discovery of the pro-immune properties of chemotherapy and its direct effects on cancer cells has established the intrinsic multitargeted nature of this therapeutic approach. The past 10 years have seen a marked rise in clinical trials of metronomic chemotherapy, and it is increasingly combined in the clinic with conventional treatments, such as maximum-tolerated dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as with novel therapeutic strategies, such as drug repositioning, targeted agents and immunotherapy. We review the latest advances in understanding the complex mechanisms of action of metronomic chemotherapy, and the recently identified factors associated with disease resistance. We comprehensively discuss the latest clinical data obtained from studies performed in both adult and paediatric populations, and highlight ongoing clinical trials. In this Review, we foresee the future developments of metronomic chemotherapy and specifically its potential role in the era of personalized medicine.

Abstract
Metronomic chemotherapy refers to the chronic, equally spaced, delivery of low doses of chemotherapeutic drugs, without extended interruptions. Previously, we developed two combined metronomic schemes for the treatment of murine mammary tumors. The aim of this study was to compare their effects on tumor and metastasis growth, survival, and toxicity. Metronomic chemotherapy with Cyclophosphamide + Celecoxib (Cy + Cel) showed higher antimetastatic power than Cyclophosphamide + Doxorubicin (Cy + Dox), while being similar in other aspects. That difference, plus the advantage that represents its oral administration, suggests that the Cy + Cel combination is more suitable than Cy + Dox for metronomic chemotherapy of mammary tumors and could be proposed to the translation to the clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metronomic chemotherapy (MCT) refers to the chronic and equally spaced administration of low doses of different chemotherapy drugs, without extended rest periods. Herein, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of metronomic cyclophosphamide (Cy) combined with doxorubicin (Dox) in two mouse mammary adenocarcinoma models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were s.c. challenged with M-234p or M-406 mammary tumors, and when the tumors reached ∼150 mm(3), they were treated with: (I) no treatment (controls); (II) Cy in the drinking water (30 mg/kg body weight/day); (III) Dox (0.5 mg/kg body weight i.p. three times/week); (IV) treated as (II) + (III). Mice challenged i.v. with M-234p or M-406 tumor cells received, on day 3, the same treatments. RESULTS We found that MCT with Cy plus Dox inhibited tumor growth, decreased lung metastases, and increased the median survival time, while having low toxic effect. Combined MCT was more effective than each monotherapy causing decrease in VEGF serum concentration and tumor proliferation rate plus increase in tumor apoptosis. CONCLUSION(S) The therapeutic benefits of combined MCT with Cy and Dox on mammary adenocarcinomas together with its low toxic effect profile suggest the possibility of future translation into the clinic.

Abstract
PURPOSE Over the past few years, more and more new selective molecules directed against specific cellular targets have become available for cancer therapy, leading to impressive improvements. In this evolving scenario, a new way of delivering older cytotoxic drugs has also been developing. Many studies demonstrated that several cytotoxic drugs have antiangiogenic properties if administered frequently and at lower doses compared with standard schedules containing maximal tolerated doses (MTD). Such a new strategy, named metronomic chemotherapy, focuses on a different target: the slowly proliferating tumour endothelial cells. About 10 years ago, metronomic chemotherapy was firstly enunciated and hereafter many clinical experiences were published related to almost any cancer disease. This review analyses available studies dealing with metronomic chemotherapy and its combination with several targeted agents in solid tumours. METHODS A computerized literature search of MEDLINE was performed using the following search terms: metronomic OR "continuous low dose" AND chemotherapy AND cancer OR solid tumours. RESULTS Satisfactory results have been achieved in diverse tumour types, such as breast and prostate cancer or paediatric sarcomas. Moreover, many studies have reported that metronomic chemotherapy determined minimal toxicity compared to MTD chemotherapy. Overall, published series on metronomic schedules are very heterogeneous often reporting on retrospective data, while only very few studies were randomized trials. These limitations still prevent to draw definitive conclusions in diverse tumour types. CONCLUSIONS Large well-designed studies are eagerly awaited for confirming the promises of metronomic schedules and their combinations with targeted molecules.
