In a pivotal phase 3 study (Study 305), eribulin mesylate improved overall survival (OS) in patients with previously treated metastatic breast cancer (MBC) compared with treatment of physician's choice (TPC). This post hoc, pooled subgroup analysis of two phase 3 studies (Study 305 and Study 301) reports the influence of the number of prior chemotherapy regimens (0-6) on OS in patients with locally advanced/MBC randomized to eribulin versus TPC/capecitabine. Patients with ≤ 3 prior chemotherapie ...[more]

Project description:BACKGROUND:Based on data from two multicenter, phase III clinical trials (Studies 301 and 305), eribulin (a microtubule dynamics inhibitor) is indicated in the European Union (EU) for patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) after ?1 prior chemotherapy for advanced disease, including an anthracycline and a taxane in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting. Data from Studies 305 and 301 were pooled to investigate the efficacy of eribulin in various subgroups of patients who matched the EU label, including those with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative and triple-negative disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS:In Study 305 (NCT00388726), patients were randomized 2:1 to eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m(2) (equivalent to eribulin 1.23 mg/m(2) [expressed as free base]) intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 21 days] or treatment of physician's choice after 2-5 prior chemotherapies (?2 for advanced disease), including an anthracycline and a taxane (in early/advanced setting). In Study 301 (NCT00337103), patients were randomized 1:1 to eribulin (as above) or capecitabine (1.25 g/m(2) orally twice daily on days 1-14 every 21 days) following ?3 prior chemotherapies (?2 for advanced disease), including an anthracycline and a taxane. Efficacy end points were investigated in the intent-to-treat population and subgroups, pooled as discussed above. RESULTS:Overall, 1644 patients were included (eribulin: 946; control: 698); baseline characteristics were well matched. Overall survival was significantly longer with eribulin versus control (P < 0.01), as were progression-free survival and clinical benefit rate (both P < 0.05). Significant survival benefits with eribulin versus control were observed in a wide range of patient subgroups, including HER2-negative or triple-negative disease (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:Our findings underline the survival benefit achieved by eribulin used according to EU label in the overall MBC population and in various subgroups of interest, including patients with HER2-negative and triple-negative disease.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who progress after platinum-based chemotherapy have had few treatment options and uniformly poor outcomes. Atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1) was approved in the USA for cisplatin-ineligible and platinum-treated mUC based on IMvigor210, a phase 2, single-arm, two-cohort study.ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab by the number of prior lines of systemic therapy in patients with pretreated mUC.Design, setting, and participantsIMvigor210 enrolled 315 patients with mUC with progression during or following platinum-based therapy at 70 international sites between May 2014 and November 2014. Key inclusion criteria included age ≥18 yr, creatinine clearance ≥30ml/min, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1, with no limit on prior lines of treatment.InterventionPatients in this cohort received atezolizumab 1200mg intravenously every 3 wk until loss of clinical benefit.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisCentrally assessed Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors v1.1 objective response rate (ORR), median duration of response, overall survival (OS), and adverse events were evaluated by prior treatment. Potential differences between subgroups were evaluated using log-rank (for OS) and chi-square (for ORR and adverse events frequencies) testing.Results and limitationsThree hundred and ten patients were efficacy and safety evaluable (median follow-up, 21 mo). Objective responses and prolonged OS occurred across all prespecified subgroups; median duration of response was not reached in most subgroups. In patients without prior systemic mUC therapy (first-line subgroup), ORR was 25% (95% confidence interval: 14-38), and median OS was 9.6 mo (95% confidence interval: 5.9-15.8). No significant differences in efficacy or toxicity by therapy line were observed.ConclusionsAtezolizumab demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety in previously treated patients with mUC across all lines of therapy evaluated.Patient summaryWe investigated effects of previous treatment in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma that progressed after platinum-based therapy. Atezolizumab was active and tolerable no matter how many treatment regimens patients had received. ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02108652.

Project description: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:Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) often involves bone, and bone-targeted therapy (BTT) has become part of the overall treatment strategy.Investigation of outcomes for concomitant BTT in a post hoc analysis of the COU-AA-302 trial, which demonstrated an overall clinical benefit of abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone over placebo plus prednisone in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients.This report describes the third interim analysis (prespecified at 55% overall survival [OS] events) for the COU-AA-302 trial.Patients were grouped by concomitant BTT use or no BTT use.Radiographic progression-free survival and OS were coprimary end points. This report describes the third interim analysis (prespecified at 55% OS events) and involves patients treated with or without concomitant BTT during the COU-AA-302 study. Median follow-up for OS was 27.1 mo. Median time-to-event variables with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs), 95% CIs, and p values for concomitant BTT versus no BTT were obtained via Cox models.While the post hoc nature of the analysis is a limitation, superiority of AA and prednisone versus prednisone alone was demonstrated for clinical outcomes with or without BTT use. Compared with no BTT use, concomitant BTT significantly improved OS (HR 0.75; p=0.01) and increased the time to ECOG deterioration (HR 0.75; p<0.001) and time to opiate use for cancer-related pain (HR 0.80; p=0.036). The safety profile of concomitant BTT with AA was similar to that reported for AA in the overall intent-to-treat population. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (all grade 1/2) with concomitant BTT use was reported in <3% of patients.AA with concomitant BTT was safe and well tolerated in men with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC. The benefits of AA on clinical outcomes were increased with concomitant BTT.Treatment of advanced prostate cancer often includes bone-targeted therapy. This post hoc analysis showed that in patients with advanced prostate cancer who were treated with abiraterone acetate and prednisone in combination with bone-targeted therapy, there was a continued trend in prolongation of life when compared with patients treated with prednisone alone.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00887198.

Project description:Platinum-based chemotherapy doublets have been the standard approach to first-line therapy for more than a decade. Many randomized trials testing new combinations have not been able to produce significant gains in patient outcomes when these studies have looked at an unselected patient population. The recognition of the biologic importance of histology and molecular features of lung cancer has dramatically impacted on patient care, as can be easily recognized by the advent of targeted therapy for molecularly defined lung cancers. Similarly, for lung cancers without recognized driver mutations, subgroup evaluations of trials-based histology has identified that some chemotherapy regimens offer greater benefit in the squamous cell or the non-squamous cell groups. Two such examples are nab-paclitaxel and pemetrexed. These have shown improved anti-tumor activity and a decreased toxicity profile compared to standard combinations. Preferential activity in histologic divided patient subgroups can allow the clinician to personalize his approach to care. The role of these two agents in the management of NSCLC will be described in this article.

Project description:BackgroundSolid tumors are a common predisposing factor for invasive candidiasis (IC) or candidemia due to IC.ObjectivesPost hoc analysis of patient-level efficacy and safety data from six studies of anidulafungin (with similar protocols/endpoints) in adults with IC/candidemia summarized by past or recent diagnosis of solid tumors.Patients/methodsPatients received a single intravenous (IV) dose of anidulafungin 200 mg, followed by 100 mg once daily. After ≥ 5 to ≥ 10 days of IV treatment, switch to oral voriconazole/fluconazole was permitted in all but one study. Time of solid tumor diagnosis was defined as past, ≥ 6; and recent, < 6 months prior to study entry. Primary endpoint: global response of success (GRS) rate at the end of IV therapy (EOIVT). Secondary endpoints included the GRS rate at the end of all therapy (EOT), all-cause mortality, and safety.ResultsThe GRS rate in the overall population was 73.4% at EOIVT and 65.5% at EOT. Past or recent solid tumor diagnosis did not affect GRS at EOIVT or EOT (past: 75.5% and 71.4%; recent: 72.2% and 62.2%, respectively). All-cause mortality was 14.4% on day 14 and 20.1% at day 28. Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild/moderate in severity (81.6%).ConclusionsTreatment of IC was effective regardless of the time of solid tumor diagnosis.Trial registrationData were pooled from six studies: NCT00496197 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on July 4, 2007); NCT00548262 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on October 23, 2007); NCT00537329 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on October 1, 2007); NCT00689338 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on June 3, 2008); NCT00806351 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2008); NCT00805740 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2008).

Project description:IntroductionEribulin was approved by the FDA in 2010 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the United States (US). More recently, several immuno-oncology (IO) and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) regimens have been approved for MBC. We assessed the treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in MBC patients treated with eribulin following treatment with an IO or ADC in US clinical practice.Materials and methodsIn a retrospective patient medical chart review study, patients with MBC, aged ≥18 years, who initiated eribulin therapy between March 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, treated with either prior IO or ADC in the metastatic setting were included. Patient demographics, treatment characteristics, and clinical outcomes were analyzed descriptively. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analyses.ResultsIn the study population (N=143), median age at eribulin initiation was 62 years; 64% were Caucasian, and 67% had triple-negative MBC (TNBC). Eribulin therapy was used in the second to fifth line of therapy in the metastatic setting; median treatment duration was 7.2 months. The overall response rate for eribulin was 59.4%. Median rwPFS and OS from eribulin initiation were 21.4 months (95% CI, 12.9-not estimable [NE]) and 24.2 months (95% CI, 17.5-NE), respectively. In patients with TNBC, median rwPFS and OS from eribulin initiation were 12.0 months (95% CI, 8.8-NE) and 18.3 months (95% CI, 14.9-NE), respectively.ConclusionThese real-world data provide evidence for the clinical effectiveness outcomes of eribulin treatment among MBC patients previously treated with an IO or ADC.

Project description:Data from two phase 3 studies of eribulin were pooled in analyses initially requested by the European Medicines Agency to assess whether specific patient subgroups, previously treated with an anthracycline and a taxane, benefited from eribulin. Study 305/EMBRACE included women after two-to-five lines of chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer who were randomized to eribulin mesylate (1.4 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 every 21 days) or treatment of physician's choice. In Study 301, patients who had received up to two prior chemotherapy regimens for advanced disease were randomized to eribulin (as above) or capecitabine (1.25 g/m(2) b.i.d. on days 1-14 every 21 days). In the pooled population, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival and response rates were analysed in the intent-to-treat population and selected subgroups. Overall, 1,062 patients were randomized to eribulin and 802 patients to control. Median OS was 15.2 months with eribulin versus 12.8 months with control (hazard ratio [HR] 0.85; 95% CI 0.77, 0.95; P = 0.003). In all subgroups assessed, OS data favoured eribulin; significant improvements occurred in some subgroups, notably in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative disease (HR 0.82; P = 0.002), although the effect in those with HER2-negative but hormone-receptor-positive disease did not reach statistical significance; benefits were also seen, among others, in those with estrogen-receptor-negative and triple-negative disease. Eribulin improves OS in various patient subgroups with advanced/metastatic breast cancer who had previously received an anthracycline and a taxane. Women with HER2-negative disease are among those who may obtain benefit from eribulin.

Project description:AbstractA predictive marker for efficacy of eribulin administered as different lines of treatment in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has not been identified. We aimed to determine the predictive factors for efficacy of eribulin administered as different lines of treatment in MBC patients.This restrospective cohort study included 49 heavily pre-treated MBC patients who received either eribulin monotherapy or combination therapy with eribulin and anti-Her2 therapy. Associations between clinical response of eribulin-based treatment, time-to-treatment failure (TTF), and possible predictive markers were investigated.Patients' median age was 55 years; 65% were ER+; 43% were HER2+; and 16% were triple-negative. Median TTF was 5.23 months and longer in non-visceral metastases patients. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status was 0-1; eribulin as ≥2nd-line treatment; eribulin combined with dual blockades; lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) ≥3; and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) <0.4. In patients with eribulin as >3rd-line treatment, univariate analysis showed that ECOG status was 0-1, and LMR ≥3 and MLR <0.4 were associated with a low risk of TTF. Multivariate analysis showed that ECOG status 0-1 was an independent protective factor. Leukopenia and neutropenia were the most common manageable adverse events.ECOG status is an independent predictor for TTF, while LMR and MLR may have an interactive effect with other biomarkers (e.g., ECOG status) to predict response in MBC patients receiving eribulin as ≥2nd-line treatment.

Project description:BackgroundThe duration of prior hormonal treatment can predict responses to subsequent therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).ObjectiveTo determine if prior endocrine therapy duration is an indicator of abiraterone acetate (AA) sensitivity.Design, setting, and participantsPost-hoc exploratory analysis of randomised phase 3 studies examining post-docetaxel (COU-AA-301) or chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC (COU-AA-302) patients receiving AA. The treatment effect on overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response analysed by quartile duration of prior gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) or androgen receptor (AR) antagonist.InterventionPatients were randomised to AA (1000mg, orally once daily) plus prednisone (5mg, orally twice daily) or placebo plus prednisone. Prior endocrine therapy was GnRHa (COU-AA-301, n=1127 [94%]; COU-AA-302, n=1057 [97%], 45.1 mo or 36.7 mo median duration, respectively) and/or orchiectomy (COU-AA-301, n=78 [7%] COU-AA-302, n=44 [4%]); castrated patients received prior AR antagonists (COU-AA-301, n=1015 [85%]; COU-AA-302, n=1078 [99%], 15.7 mo or 16.1 mo median duration, respectively).Outcome measurements and statistical analysisCox model was used to obtain hazard ratio and associated 95% confidence interval with statistical inference by log rank statistic.Results and limitationsClinical benefit with AA was observed for OS, rPFS, and PSA response for nearly all quartiles with GnRHa or AR antagonists in both COU-AA-301 and COU-AA-302. In COU-AA-301, patients with a longer duration of prior endocrine therapy tended to have greater AA OS, rPFS, and PSA response benefit, with lead-time chemotherapy bias potentially impacting COU-AA-301 results. Time to castration resistance was not captured. This analysis is limited as a post-hoc exploratory analysis.ConclusionsIn the COU-AA-301 and COU-AA-302 studies, AA produced clinical benefits regardless of prior endocrine therapy duration in patients with mCRPC.Patient summaryMetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients derived clinical benefits with abiraterone acetate regardless of prior endocrine therapy duration.
