Abstract
BACKGROUND
This AMEERA-2 study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the oral selective estrogen receptor degrader amcenestrant as a monotherapy with dose escalation in Japanese postmenopausal women with advanced estrogen receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer.
METHODS
In this open-label, nonrandomized, phase I study, patients received amcenestrant 400 mg once daily (QD) (n = 7) and 300 mg twice daily (BID) (n = 3). The incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), recommended dose, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety were assessed.
RESULTS
No DLTs were observed and MTD was not reached in the 400 mg QD group. One DLT (grade 3 maculopapular rash) was reported in a patient treated with 300 mg BID. After repeated oral administration of either dosing regimen, steady state reached before day 8, without accumulation. Four out of 5 response-evaluable patients from 400 mg QD group achieved clinical benefit and showed tumor shrinkage. No clinical benefit was reported in the 300 mg BID group. Overall, most patients (8/10) experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE), with skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders most commonly reported (4/10 patients). No ≥ grade 3 TRAE in 400 mg QD group and 1 grade 3 TRAE in 300 mg BID group were reported.
CONCLUSIONS
Amcenestrant 400 mg QD has a favorable safety profile and has been selected as the recommended Phase II dose for monotherapy for evaluating the safety and efficacy of amcenestrant in a larger, global, randomized clinical trial of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
