Phase 2 study of eribulin in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Eribulin, a microtubule dynamics inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of patients with breast cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. We investigated the efficacy and safety of eribulin in Japanese patients with soft tissue sarcoma.This open-label, multicenter, nonrandomized, Phase 2 study enrolled Japanese patients with measurable, advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma of high/intermediate grade and ?1 prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Patients received eribulin mesilate 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously over 2–5 minutes on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free rate at 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival and safety. Efficacy analyses were stratified by histology (liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma, and other subtypes).Overall, 52 patients were enrolled and 51 patients were treated. Patients with liposarcoma/leiomyosarcoma (n = 35) had similar characteristics to those with other subtypes (n = 16), except for a higher proportion of women (63% vs 38%, respectively) and patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 (57% vs 44%). Progression-free rate at 12 weeks was 60% in liposarcoma/leiomyosarcoma patients, 31% in other subtypes and 51% overall. Median progression-free survival was 5.5 months in liposarcoma/leiomyosarcoma patients, 2.0 months in other subtypes and 4.1 months overall. Median overall survival was 17.0 months in liposarcoma/leiomyosarcoma patients, 7.6 months in other subtypes and 13.2 months overall. The most common Grade 3–4 adverse events were neutropenia (86%), leukopenia (75%), lymphopenia (33%), anemia (14%) and febrile neutropenia (8%).Eribulin showed clinical activity with a manageable safety profile in previously treated Japanese patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.

Project description:Objective: Trabectedin is an anti-cancer drug commonly used for the treatment of patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (mSTS). Despite its recognized efficacy, significant variability in pharmacological response has been observed among mSTS patients. To address this issue, this pharmacometabolomics study aimed to identify pre-dose plasma metabolomics signatures that can explain individual variations in trabectedin pharmacokinetics and overall clinical response to treatment. Methods: In this study, 40 mSTS patients treated with trabectedin administered by 24 h-intravenous infusion at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2 were enrolled. The patients' baseline plasma metabolomics profiles, which included derivatives of amino acids and bile acids, were analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring LC-MS/MS together with their pharmacokinetics profile of trabectedin. Multivariate Partial least squares regression and univariate statistical analyses were utilized to identify correlations between baseline metabolite concentrations and trabectedin pharmacokinetics, while Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis was employed to evaluate associations with clinical response. Results: The multiple regression model, derived from the correlation between the AUC of trabectedin and pre-dose metabolomics, exhibited the best performance by incorporating cystathionine, hemoglobin, taurocholic acid, citrulline, and the phenylalanine/tyrosine ratio. This model demonstrated a bias of 4.6% and a precision of 17.4% in predicting drug AUC, effectively accounting for up to 70% of the inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. Through the use of Partial least squares-Discriminant Analysis, cystathionine and hemoglobin were identified as specific metabolic signatures that effectively distinguish patients with stable disease from those with progressive disease. Conclusions: The findings from this study provide compelling evidence to support the utilization of pre-dose metabolomics in uncovering the underlying causes of pharmacokinetic variability of trabectedin, as well as facilitating the identification of patients who are most likely to benefit from this treatment. Graphical Abstract

Project description:BackgroundPatients with advanced sarcomas have a poor prognosis and few treatment options that improve overall survival. We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of pemetrexed and cisplatin combination therapy in patients with refractory bone and soft tissue sarcoma (STS).Patients and methodsPatients were included in this multicenter, phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03809637) if they progressed after receiving one or more chemotherapy regimens containing an anthracycline and/or ifosfamide. Pemetrexed was first administered intravenously, followed by cisplatin, over a cycle of 21 days, for a maximum of six cycles. The primary endpoint was a progression-free rate (PFR) at 3 months (3-month PFR).ResultsFrom January 2017 to September 2019, we enrolled 37 patients; of these, 73% had previously undergone three or more rounds of chemotherapy. Five patients (13.5%) exhibited objective responses, including two patients (2/6, 33.3%) with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, one patient (1/4, 25%) with synovial sarcoma, one patient (1/4, 25%) with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and one patient (1/4, 25%) with angiosarcoma. The median progression-free survival was 2.6 months, and the 3-month PFR was 45.9% (n = 17). None of the four patients with osteosarcoma exhibited objective responses or were progression free at 3 months. The most frequent treatment-related grade 3-4 toxicities included neutropenia (16.2%), anemia (13.5%), thrombocytopenia (13.5%), and fatigue (8.1%). Among 26 patients (70.3%) available for immunohistochemical assessments, patients in the low-excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) and low-thymidylate synthase expression groups showed a tendency for longer overall survival.ConclusionsCombination therapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin was associated with clinically meaningful and sustained responses among patients with advanced and refractory STS. The combination therapy met its predefined primary study endpoint.
