Balixafortide (a CXCR4 antagonist) + eribulin in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC): Survival outcomes of the phase I trial.
2019
2606 Background: Balixafortide (B) is a potent antagonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Preclinical evidence suggests that disrupting CXCR4 dependent pathways prevents development of breast cancer metastases, enhances the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and counteracts tumor cell evasion of the immune system. Encouraging safety and efficacy data were published recently from the ongoing Phase 1 trial investigating B + eribulin (E) in patients with HER2 negative MBC (Pernas S. et al. Lancet Oncol. 2018; 19: 812−24). The objective response rate, median progression free survival and median overall survival (OS) for the expanded cohort (EC) and the overall efficacy popula…
Pertuzumab monotherapy after trastuzumab-based treatment and subsequent reintroduction of trastuzumab: activity and tolerability in patients with adv…
2012
Purpose The combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab resulted in a clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 50% in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive breast cancer whose disease progressed during prior trastuzumab-based therapy. To define whether this previously observed encouraging activity was a result of the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab or of pertuzumab alone, we recruited a third cohort of patients who received pertuzumab without trastuzumab. We then investigated the impact of reintroducing trastuzumab to patients whose disease progressed on pertuzumab monotherapy. Patients and Methods Twenty-nine patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose d…
Nonpegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (TLC-D99), Paclitaxel, and Trastuzumab in HER-2-Overexpressing Breast Cancer: A Multicenter Phase I/II Study
2008
Abstract Purpose: To determine the recommended dose, cardiac safety, and antitumor activity of nonpegylated liposomal doxorubicin (TLC-D99), paclitaxel, and the anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab in patients with HER-2-overexpressing locally advanced nonoperable breast cancer (LABC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Experimental Design: Women with measurable, previously untreated, HER-2-overexpressing LABC and MBC with a baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >50% received weekly trastuzumab in combination with escalating doses of weekly paclitaxel and TLC-D99 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. LVEF monitoring was done every 3 weeks for the first 18 weeks and every 8 w…
Balixafortide (a CXCR4 antagonist) plus eribulin in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer: Dose-response analysis of efficacy from phase I single-ar…
2020
e15209 Background: Balixafortide (B) is a potent, selective antagonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR4. High CXCR4 levels correlate with aggressive metastatic phenotypes and poor prognosis in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Efficacy and safety data were published recently from the Phase 1 trial investigating B + eribulin (E) in patients with HER2 negative MBC1. We report the final efficacy analyses from this trial, including assessment of dose-response. Methods: In this single-arm, dose escalation trial, patients (pts) received E + increasing doses of B using a 3+3 design in 3 parts: Part I (cohorts received low E doses); Part II (dose-escalation cohort for B [1−5.5mg/kg] + 1.4mg/m2 E); Ex…
Intrinsic Subtypes and Gene Expression Profiles in Primary and Metastatic Breast Cancer.
2017
Biological changes that occur during metastatic progression of breast cancer are still incompletely characterized. In this study, we compared intrinsic molecular subtypes and gene expression in 123 paired primary and metastatic tissues from breast cancer patients. Intrinsic subtype was identified using a PAM50 classifier and χ2 tests determined the differences in variable distribution. The rate of subtype conversion was 0% in basal-like tumors, 23.1% in HER2-enriched (HER2-E) tumors, 30.0% in luminal B tumors, and 55.3% in luminal A tumors. In 40.2% of cases, luminal A tumors converted to luminal B tumors, whereas in 14.3% of cases luminal A and B tumors converted to HER2-E tumors. We ident…
Phase Ib study evaluating safety and clinical activity of the anti-HER3 antibody lumretuzumab combined with the anti-HER2 antibody pertuzumab and pac…
2018
Summary Purpose To investigate the safety and clinical activity of comprehensive human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family receptor inhibition using lumretuzumab (anti-HER3) and pertuzumab (anti-HER2) in combination with paclitaxel in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods This phase Ib study enrolled 35 MBC patients (first line or higher) with HER3-positive and HER2-low (immunohistochemistry 1+ to 2+ and in-situ hybridization negative) tumors. Patients received lumretuzumab (1000 mg in Cohort 1; 500 mg in Cohorts 2 and 3) plus pertuzumab (840 mg loading dose [LD] followed by 420 mg in Cohorts 1 and 2; 420 mg without LD in Cohort 3) every 3 weeks, plus paclitaxel (8…
Genomic profile of breast cancer: costeffectiveness analysis from the Spanish National Healthcare System perspective.
2014
Background: Costeffectiveness analysis of MammaPrint® (70-gene signature) in the diagnosis of early breast cancer as a prognosis assay to study the risk of tumor recurrence to administer adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Markov model assuming a cohort of 60-year-old women with breast cancer. Treatment costs and effects were assessed by comparing the 5-year, 10-year and lifetime risk of recurrence using Adjuvant! Online® (online algorithm), 70-gene signature or Oncotype DX® (21-gene assay). Results: 70-gene signature showed a life expectancy of 23.55 years at lifetime. Life expectancy was lower for 21-gene assay and online algorithm, with associated quality-adjusted life year gains up to 0.23 …
Abstract LB-146: A phase II randomized placebo-controlled study of AZD8931, an inhibitor of EGFR, HER2, and HER3 signaling, plus paclitaxel (P) vs P …
2013
Abstract Background: AZD8931 is an oral, equipotent inhibitor of EGFR, HER2, and HER3 signaling. Preclinical evidence indicates that AZD8931 may be particularly potent when HER signaling is ligand driven, which is thought to be the signaling mechanism that is more prevalent in low HER2-expressing BC. Methods: In this double-blind multicenter phase II study, women with low HER2- expressing locally advanced or metastatic BC (ineligible by HER2 status for either trastuzumab or lapatinib) were randomized 1:1 to AZD8931 40mg bid + P (90mg/m2; d1, 8 and 15, q4 weeks) or matched placebo + P (NCT00900627). The primary objective was prolonged progression-free survival (PFS; assessed by RECIST v1.1);…
