Phase Ib study evaluating safety and clinical activity of the anti-HER3 antibody lumretuzumab combined with the anti-HER2 antibody pertuzumab and paclitaxel in HER3-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
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…
Translational study associated to a phase II study evaluating the activity of pazopanib in patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic liposarcoma (LPS): A joint Spanish Sarcoma Group (GEIS) and German Interdisciplinary Sarcoma Group (GISG) study.
11067 Background: GEIS 30 was a phase II study showing moderate activity of pazopanib in well-differentiated/dedifferentiated LPS (cohort A:37 pts, Progression free Survival (PFS) at 12 weeks (w) 43.2%) and no activity in Myxoid/round cell LPS (cohort B: 15 pts, PFS at 12w 13.3%). The present study aims to identify tumor and plasma biomarkers that are differently expressed in long responders (LRs) PFS > 24 w. Methods: Serum samples and paraffin-blocks at diagnosis were collected for 28 pts in cohort A and 11 in B. A total of 13 pts were LRs. Serum samples were obtained at baseline, after 3 w of treatment and at progression. A panel of 15 cytokines and growth factors were evaluated using…
