Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in breast cancer patients treated with eribulin: interim data from a post-marketing observational study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Few studies have examined chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) following the administration of eribulin as first- or second-line therapy in patients with breast cancer. We therefore assessed CIPN incidence by severity and risk factors for CIPN in patients treated with eribulin for HER2-negative inoperable or recurrent breast cancer, regardless of line therapy status. METHODS:This multicenter, prospective, post-marketing observational study enrolled patients from September 2014 in Japan and followed them for 2 years. For this interim analysis, the data cut-off point was in November 2017. CIPN severity was assessed based on the Japanese version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0. RESULTS:Among 634 patients included in the safety analysis, 374 patients did not have existing CIPN at baseline. CIPN was observed in 105 patients (28.1%), including 67 (17.9%), 34 (9.1%), and 4 (1.1%) patients with grade 1, 2, and 3 severity, respectively. Of the 105 patients, 85.7% patients continued, 7.6% reduced, interrupted or postponed, and 6.7% discontinued eribulin. The median time (min?max) from baseline to CIPN onset was 60 (3?337) days. Multivariate logistic regression identified a significant association between CIPN and hemoglobin level at baseline, starting dose of eribulin, and history of radiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings indicate that, with respect to CIPN, eribulin is well-tolerated, as approximately one-quarter of patients developed CIPN, most cases were grade 1 or 2, and the majority of patients continued eribulin after CIPN onset.

Project description:BackgroundSoft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a heterogeneous group of cancers with over 100 described subtypes. While these cancers are infrequent, the prognosis is quite poor, particularly for those with stage IV metastatic disease. Patients for whom curative resection is difficult or those with recurrent metastatic disease are treated with chemotherapy, although the options are very limited. Eribulin is an approved treatment of all STS subtypes in Japan. Efficacy and safety data for the treatment of rare STS subtypes other than liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma (L-type sarcomas) are limited. This nationwide, multicenter, prospective, post-marketing observational study was conducted to assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of eribulin in Japanese patients with STS.MethodsPatients with all types of STS and who consented to eribulin treatment were eligible to participate. The observation period was 1 year, starting at treatment initiation, and clinical outcomes were followed up for 2 years after initiating treatment. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Additional outcomes included time-to-treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. ORR and DCR were evaluated using imaging findings. Effectiveness results were analyzed both for all patients and by STS subtype.ResultsA total of 256 patients were enrolled; 252 and 254 were included in the effectiveness and safety analysis set, respectively. Most patients (83.1%) received an initial eribulin dose of 1.4 mg/m2 (standard dose). Respective median OS (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 10.8 (8.5-13.1), 13.8 (10.1-22.3) and 6.5 (5.7-11.1) months for all, L-type, and non-L-type subtypes. The respective median TTF (95% CI) was 2.5 (2.1-2.8), 2.8 (2.3-3.7), and 2.2 (1.6-2.6) months. The ORR and DCR were 8.1 and 42.6%, respectively. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and serious ADRs were reported for 83.5 and 18.9% of patients, respectively. The main ADRs were associated with myelosuppression. No significant difference was observed in the incidence of ADRs for patients ≥65 versus <65 years old.ConclusionsEribulin demonstrated effectiveness and a manageable safety profile for patients with STS, although the effectiveness of eribulin was not demonstrated for some non-L-type subtypes.Trial registrationNCT03058406 ( ClinicalTrials.gov ).

Project description:Chemotherapy is a common treatment for breast cancer (BrCa) and can cause chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN contributes to falls, and is thus a potential risk factor for nontraumatic fractures (NTFx); yet, the effect of CIPN on NTFx risk has not been examined for BrCa survivors. We therefore investigated the association between CIPN and NTFx in BrCa survivors. Data were extracted from Optum's Deidentified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database years 2010-2015 in this retrospective cohort study. Among women, three groups were derived based on BrCa and CIPN status: BrCa+/CIPN+ (primary group of interest), BrCa+/CIPN- (first comparison group), and BrCa-/CIPN- (second comparison group). After propensity score matching the comparison groups to BrCa+/CIPN+ at a ratio of 1:11 (BrCa:control) for demographics, osteoporosis, glucocorticoid medication, comorbidities, and cancer-related variables for BrCa+/CIPN-, 1-year incidence rate (IR) of NTFx was determined for each group. The incident rate ratio (IRR) determined if the IR for NTFx was different for BrCa+/CIPN+ compared to BrCa+/CIPN- and BrCa-/CIPN-. Cox proportional hazards regression models estimated the hazard ratios (HRs) after adjusting for covariates that were unable to be matched for. The crude IR (95% confidence interval [CI]) of NTFx was 4.54 (2.32-6.77) for BrCa+/CIPN+ (n = 359), 2.53 (2.03-3.04) for BrCa+/CIPN- (n = 3949), and 1.76 (1.35-2.18) for BrCa-/CIPN- (n = 3949). The crude IRR of NTFx was significantly elevated for BrCa+/CIPN+ as compared to BrCa+/CIPN- (IRR = 1.80; 95% CI, 1.06-3.05) and BrCa-/CIPN- (IRR = 2.58; 95% CI, 1.50-4.44). The elevated rate of NTFx for BrCa+/CIPN+ remained unchanged after adjusting for aromatase inhibitors compared to BrCa+/CIPN- (HR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.06-3.04). Female BrCa survivors have an increased 1-year IR of NTFx after the onset of CIPN, suggesting that CIPN is an additive burden on NTFx risk among BrCa survivors. © 2021 The Authors.
