ABSTRACT: Purpose
Metronomic chemotherapy (MCT) is an increasingly used treatment option in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced/metastatic breast cancer (MBC) after failure of endocrine-based therapies.Methods
VinoMetro was a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase II study of metronomic oral vinorelbine (VRL; 30 mg/day) as a first-line chemotherapy (CT) in patients with HR+/HER2- MBC after endocrine failure. The primary endpoint was the clinical benefit rate (CBR) at 24 weeks.Results
Between January 2017 and April 2019, nine patients were enrolled. The CBR was 22.2% (90% confidence interval [CI] 4.1-55.0), p = 0.211. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.0 weeks (95% CI 11.3-12.7). Grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 22.2% of patients. One patient died of febrile neutropenia.Conclusion
VinoMetro (AGO-B-046) was closed early after nine patients and occurrence of one grade 5 toxicity in agreement with the lead institutional review board (IRB). Metronomic dosing of oral VRL in HR+/HER2- MBC as first-line CT after failure of endocrine therapies showed only limited benefit in this population.Trial registration number and date of registration
