Pyrotinib enhances the radiosensitivity of HER2?overexpressing gastric and breast cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: The overexpression or amplification of HER2 has been observed in a significant proportion of both gastric cancer (GC) and breast cancer (BC) cases. Pyrotinib is an irreversible dual (EGFR/HER2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), newly evaluated for the treatment of HER2?overexpressing cancer types. As radiotherapy (RT) serves a crucial role in controlling the local recurrence of GC and BC, the present study investigated the impact of pyrotinib on the irradiation response. The current results demonstrated that pyrotinib enhanced the radiosensitivity of HER2?overexpressing GC and BC cells in vitro and in vivo. In both NCI?N87 and SKBR3 cells, pyrotinib suppressed the irradiation?induced HER2 nuclear transport. Furthermore, pyrotinib increased DNA damage induced by irradiation in both cancer cell lines. Pyrotinib also enhanced the cytotoxicity of docetaxel, which may provide a novel strategy for potential drug combinations. Thus, pyrotinib is a promising irradiation sensitizer in patients with HER2?overexpressing GC and BC. The present results provide a theoretical foundation for further clinical evaluation of pyrotinib.

Project description:IntroductionPyrotinib plus capecitabine has been approved in China for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Meanwhile, vinorelbine is another important chemotherapy option for MBC available in oral and intravenous forms. Thus, pyrotinib plus vinorelbine may represent a new treatment option, particularly for patients with failed capecitabine treatment. This study reported the first real-world data for pyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy in HER2+ MBC.MethodsHER2+ MBC patients (n = 97) treated with pyrotinib plus vinorelbine in six institutions across China from May 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and toxicity profiles were determined.ResultsSixty-seven percent of patients received more than two lines of systematic therapy. Nearly all patients (97.9%) had received trastuzumab and 50.5% were administered lapatinib. When combined with pyrotinib, 74.2% received oral and 25.8% received intravenous vinorelbine. Median PFS (mPFS) was 7.8 (range, 4.7-10.8) months for all patients. The mPFS in patients administered pyrotinib as second-line therapy and third-or-higher-line therapy were 12.0 and 6.4 months, respectively. Patients who received pyrotinib plus oral or intravenous vinorelbine had similar mPFS (7.8 vs. 6.4 months, p = 0.871). The 23 patients with brain metastases had mPFS of 6.3 (range, 3.4-9.2) months. Lapatinib-naïve patients had significantly longer PFS than lapatinib-treated patients (10.8 months vs. 5.6 months, p = 0.020). Median OS was not achieved. The ORR for 96 patients was 34.3%. Common grade 3 and 4 adverse events were diarrhea (22.7%), neutropenia (7.2%), and leukopenia (4.1%).ConclusionsPyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy demonstrated promising effects in HER2+ MBC with tolerable toxicity, particularly in patients with second-line treatment and without prior lapatinib treatment, as well as in patients with brain metastases. Oral vinorelbine is a useful alternative to the intravenous form when combined with pyrotinib.Clinical trial registration[ClinicalTrials.gov], identifier [NCT04517305].
