Phase I dose-finding study of eribulin and capecitabine for metastatic breast cancer: JBCRG-18 cape study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Eribulin is a nontaxane microtubule inhibitor with activity in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We conducted a phase I dose-finding study of eribulin and capecitabine in patients with MBC pretreated with anthracycline and taxane.

Methods

Women with MBC aged ?70 years were enrolled. A 3 + 3 dose escalation design was used: level 0 dosing, eribulin (1.4 mg/m² intravenously on days 1 and 8) plus capecitabine [825 mg/m² orally twice daily (BID)]; 2-weeks-on, 1-week-off in a 21-day cycle. If there were no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), level 1 capecitabine dose was 1000 mg/m² BID. The primary objective was to determine maximum tolerated dose, DLTs, and recommended dose (RD). Secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics, safety, and best overall response rate.

Results

Nine women with MBC were enrolled; six at level 0, three at level 1. One patient had grade 4 DLTs at level 0 (serum creatinine 7.65 mg/dL and uric acid 13.4 mg/dL), considered associated with study drugs. Level 1 dosing was taken as the RD. Neutropenia was the most common ?grade 3 toxicity. Pharmacokinetic parameters of eribulin were not influenced by co-administration of capecitabine. Of three patients in level 1, one achieved partial response and one had prolonged stable disease.

Conclusion

Eribulin with capecitabine in the level 1 dosing schedule was associated with manageable toxicities and promising clinical activity. This combination is recommended for phase II investigation.

Project description:BackgroundTreatment options for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) refractory to anthracyclines and taxanes are limited. In a phase III trial, eribulin demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival compared to treatment of physician's choice, but had limited tolerability because of neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy. Based on prior studies of alternative treatment schedules with other therapies, we hypothesized that a low-dose metronomic schedule of eribulin would permit patients to remain on treatment more consistently without treatment delays, resulting in longer time to progression, and improved toxicity profile.MethodsWe conducted a multi-site single arm, phase II trial patients with MBC. All patients were treated with metronomic eribulin (0.9 mg/m2 administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle.) Treatment was continued until the patient developed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or chose to stop the study. Patients must have had prior taxane exposure. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Secondary end points were overall survival, response rate, and clinical benefit rate. Exploratory biomarkers were performed to analyze change in levels of circulating endothelial cells (CECs), circulating endothelial precursors, and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) with response to therapy.FindingsWe consented 86 patients and 59 were evaluable for final analysis. Median age was 59 years; 78% had HER2 negative tumors. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.5 months with overall survival (OS) of 14.3 months. Objective response rate was 15% with clinical benefit rate of 48%. Reported grade 3 neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy were 18% and 5%, respectively. Treatment discontinuation due to toxicity was seen in 3% of patients.InterpretationMetronomic weekly low-dose eribulin is an active and tolerable regimen with significantly less myelosuppression, alopecia, and peripheral neuropathy than is seen with the approved dose and schedule, allowing longer duration of use and disease control, with similar outcomes compared to the standard dose regimen.

Project description:IntroductionEarly phase dose-finding (EPDF) studies are critical for the development of new treatments, directly influencing whether compounds or interventions can be investigated in further trials to confirm their safety and efficacy. There exists guidance for clinical trial protocols and reporting of completed trials in the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) 2013 and CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Randomised Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statements. However, neither the original statements nor their extensions adequately cover the specific features of EPDF trials. The DEFINE (DosE-FIndiNg Extensions) study aims to enhance transparency, completeness, reproducibility and interpretation of EPDF trial protocols (SPIRIT-DEFINE) and their reports once completed (CONSORT-DEFINE), across all disease areas, building on the original SPIRIT 2013 and CONSORT 2010 statements.Methods and analysisA methodological review of published EPDF trials will be conducted to identify features and deficiencies in reporting and inform the initial generation of the candidate items. The early draft checklists will be enriched through a review of published and grey literature, real-world examples analysis, citation and reference searches and consultation with international experts, including regulators and journal editors. Development of CONSORT-DEFINE commenced in March 2021, followed by SPIRIT-DEFINE from January 2022. A modified Delphi process, involving worldwide, multidisciplinary and cross-sector key stakeholders, will be run to refine the checklists. An international consensus meeting in autumn 2022 will finalise the list of items to be included in both guidance extensions.Ethics and disseminationThis project was approved by ICR's Committee for Clinical Research. The Health Research Authority confirmed Research Ethics Approval is not required. The dissemination strategy aims to maximise guideline awareness and uptake, including but not limited to dissemination in stakeholder meetings, conferences, peer-reviewed publications and on the EQUATOR Network and DEFINE study websites.Registration detailsSPIRIT-DEFINE and CONSORT-DEFINE are registered with the EQUATOR Network.
