Efficacy of Moxifloxacin plus Treatment of Physician's Choice in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: LESSONS LEARNED:Moxifloxacin plus continuation of the previous treatment of physician's choice shows promising efficacy in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The addition of moxifloxacin shows well-tolerated toxicities. BACKGROUND:Recent studies have confirmed bacterial infection as an important contributor in cancer. Elimination of tumor-associated microbes may lead to a reduction in tumors and improved survival. Moxifloxacin is an orally administrated fourth-generation quinolone with broad-spectrum coverage against tumor-associated bacteria. METHODS:In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of moxifloxacin in combination with treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In this single-arm, phase II study, we recruited 30 patients with MBC who had a trend toward disease progression (stable disease [SD] with increased tumor size) during TPC before enrollment at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 1 and July 30, 2018. Eligible patients were given moxifloxacin once daily at a dose of 400 mg from days 1 to 7 of a 28-day cycle, in addition to continuing to receive the therapy previously selected by their physicians. Tumor response was determined according to RECIST (version 1.1). Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS:The concomitant use of moxifloxacin and previous TPC yielded a median PFS of 6.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.0-9.1) and a 1-year PFS of 25.9% (95% CI: 10.0%-41.9%). Objective responses were achieved in seven (23.3%, 95% CI: 7.3%-39.4%) patients. The clinical benefit rate was 46.7% (95% CI: 27.7%-65.6%). No grade 4 adverse events (AEs) and four grade 3 AEs were observed, none of which were considered to have definite relation to moxifloxacin. CONCLUSION:The combination of moxifloxacin with previous TPC shows promising efficacy and well-tolerated toxicities in patients with MBC.

Project description:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is a particularly aggressive form of the disease, and ultimately progresses in patients with metastases on standard therapies. Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, are an effective treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer, particularly when administered in combination with trastuzumab - however, doxorubicin-related cardiotoxicity has limited its use. Many patients are therefore never treated with anthracyclines, even upon disease progression, despite the potential for benefit. MM-302 is a novel, HER2-targeted antibody-liposomal doxorubicin conjugate that specifically targets HER2-overexpressing cells. Preclinical and Phase 1 data suggest that MM-302, as a monotherapy or in combination with trastuzumab, could be effective for managing previously treated, anthracycline-naïve, HER2-positive breast cancer, without the cardiotoxicity observed with free doxorubicin formulations.HERMIONE is an open-label, multicenter, randomized (1:1) Phase 2 trial of MM-302 plus trastuzumab versus chemotherapy of physician's choice (gemcitabine, capecitabine, or vinorelbine) plus trastuzumab planned to enroll 250 anthracycline-naïve patients with locally advanced/metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Key inclusion criteria are: previous treatment with trastuzumab (with or without pertuzumab) in any setting; refractory or intolerant to pertuzumab (refractory to pertuzumab defined as progression in the locally advanced or metastatic setting, or disease recurrence during or within 12 months of completing pertuzumab-containing neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant therapy); and disease progression on, or intolerant to, ado-trastuzumab emtansine for locally advanced or metastatic disease. The trial is currently being conducted at sites in the USA, Canada, and Western Europe. Treatment will be administered in 21-day cycles, and will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint is independently assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Tumor response will be assessed every 6 weeks, and defined according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include investigator-assessed PFS, overall survival (OS), OS rates at 6 months and 1 year, objective response rates, safety and tolerability, quality of life, and the pharmacokinetic profile of MM-302 plus trastuzumab.The HERMIONE study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MM-302 plus trastuzumab in patients with refractory HER2-positive advanced/metastatic breast cancer for whom there are no standard of care therapies with a proven survival advantage.Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02213744 .

Project description:BackgroundIn the OlympiAD study, olaparib was shown to improve progression-free survival compared with chemotherapy treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in patients with a germline BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation (BRCAm) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC). We now report the planned final overall survival (OS) results, and describe the most common adverse events (AEs) to better understand olaparib tolerability in this population.Patients and methodsOlympiAD, a Phase III, randomized, controlled, open-label study (NCT02000622), enrolled patients with a germline BRCAm and HER2-negative mBC who had received ?2 lines of chemotherapy for mBC. Patients were randomized to olaparib tablets (300?mg bid) or predeclared TPC (capecitabine, vinorelbine, or eribulin). OS and safety were secondary end points.ResultsA total of 205 patients were randomized to olaparib and 97 to TPC. At 64% data maturity, median OS was 19.3?months with olaparib versus 17.1?months with TPC (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.66-1.23; P?=?0.513); median follow-up was 25.3 and 26.3?months, respectively. HR for OS with olaparib versus TPC in prespecified subgroups were: prior chemotherapy for mBC [no (first-line setting): 0.51, 95% CI 0.29-0.90; yes (second/third-line): 1.13, 0.79-1.64]; receptor status (triple negative: 0.93, 0.62-1.43; hormone receptor positive: 0.86, 0.55-1.36); prior platinum (yes: 0.83, 0.49-1.45; no: 0.91, 0.64-1.33). Adverse events during olaparib treatment were generally low grade and manageable by supportive treatment or dose modification. There was a low rate of treatment discontinuation (4.9%), and the risk of developing anemia did not increase with extended olaparib exposure.ConclusionsWhile there was no statistically significant improvement in OS with olaparib compared to TPC, there was the possibility of meaningful OS benefit among patients who had not received chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Olaparib was generally well-tolerated, with no evidence of cumulative toxicity during extended exposure. Please see the article online for additional video content.

Project description:The anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) humanized monoclonal antibody trastuzumab improves the outcome in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. However, most cases of advanced disease eventually progress. Pertuzumab, an anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits receptor dimerization, has a mechanism of action that is complementary to that of trastuzumab, and combination therapy with the two antibodies has shown promising activity and an acceptable safety profile in phase 2 studies involving patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.We randomly assigned 808 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer to receive placebo plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel (control group) or pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel (pertuzumab group) as first-line treatment until the time of disease progression or the development of toxic effects that could not be effectively managed. The primary end point was independently assessed progression-free survival. Secondary end points included overall survival, progression-free survival as assessed by the investigator, the objective response rate, and safety.The median progression-free survival was 12.4 months in the control group, as compared with 18.5 months in the pertuzumab group (hazard ratio for progression or death, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.51 to 0.75; P<0.001). The interim analysis of overall survival showed a strong trend in favor of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel. The safety profile was generally similar in the two groups, with no increase in left ventricular systolic dysfunction; the rates of febrile neutropenia and diarrhea of grade 3 or above were higher in the pertuzumab group than in the control group.The combination of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel, as compared with placebo plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel, when used as first-line treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, significantly prolonged progression-free survival, with no increase in cardiac toxic effects.
