Project description:In two randomized phase III trials of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), gemcitabine-docetaxel (GD) and capecitabine-docetaxel (CD) had similar efficacy, but distinct safety profiles. Methods. Data from two GD versus CD studies were pooled; overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate (ORR) were determined. Cox proportional hazards models identified prognostic factors associated with improved OS and PFS. Using a multivariate prognostic model incorporating identified adverse prognostic factors, we grouped MBC patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk categories. Hazard ratios (HRs) of GD over CD for OS and PFS were determined for subsets of patients. Results. Baseline demographics of the pooled population were mostly well balanced. In the pooled population, there were no significant differences between GD versus CD for OS (HR = 1.02; p = .824), PFS (HR = 1.15; p = .079), and ORR (p = .526). In the pooled crossover population, there were trends toward improved OS (HR = 0.82; p = .171) and PFS (HR = 0.93; p = .557) with GD. Several prognostic factors (including prior adjuvant taxane) for improved OS or PFS were identified; however, there were no significant interactions between treatment arms and prognostic factors for PFS or OS, except number of metastatic sites. In the prognostic model, median OS and PFS were numerically lower in the high-risk group versus the intermediate- and low-risk groups. Conclusion. This analysis confirms the lack of efficacy difference between GD and CD in the pooled population, crossover population, and almost all subpopulations. Several prognostic factors were associated with improved outcomes in the pooled population.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Taxanes are effective in treating metastatic breast cancer. Liposomal doxorubicin (LD) is as effective as doxorubicin but less toxic. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This phase II trial assessed the combination of LD and docetaxel (D). Between 12/2002 and 9/2005, 12 women received monthly LD (30 mg/m(2)) and weekly D (30 mg/m(2)). Cycles were continued until progression or toxicity. Primary outcome was time to progression. Secondary endpoints included response rate, time to treatment failure, duration of response, survival, and toxicity. RESULTS: Median age was 49 (31-60) years. 9 (75%) patients had estrogen receptor-positive or progesterone receptor-positive tumors. 5 (41.7%) women had her-2/neu-positive tumors. 4 women stopped participation due to toxicity, and 7 due to progression. 8 (67%) participants (95% confidence interval (CI) 51.6-94.5%) had a partial response, and 2 (16.7%) had stable disease. Median time to progression was 9.6 months (95% CI 4.7-12.2). Median time to treatment failure was 6.5 months (95% CI 4.4-10.5). Median survival was 22.1 months (95% CI 9.6-40.8). Median duration of partial response was 2.7 months (95% CI 2.4-10.5). 10 (83%) women experienced grade 3/4 toxicities: neutropenia 3 (25%), infection 3 (25%), stomatitis 5 (41.7%), nausea 2 (16.7%), vomiting 1 (8.3%), dyspnea 2 (16.7%), pericardial effusion 1 (8.3), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia 1 (8.3%). CONCLUSIONS: LD and D resulted in an encouraging response and unacceptable toxicities.

Project description:BackgroundAnthracyclines and taxanes are effective drugs in breast cancer (BC), but their toxicity profiles limit their use in combination. A dose-finding study was performed to determine maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) of nonpegylated liposomal doxorubicin (TLC-D99) and docetaxel (DTX) as a dose-dense schedule, to maintain dose intensity, and to limit toxicity, particularly cardiac.MethodsTwenty-four patients were enrolled, 12 with metastatic BC, 5 with locally advanced BC, and 7 with early BC. An intra- and interpatient approach was planned in two sequential steps. In the first step, TLC-D99 was administered at dose levels of 40, 45, and 50 mg/m(2) plus DTX at a fixed dose of 50 mg/m(2). In the second step, TLC-D99 was administered at the dose established in the first step plus DTX at dose levels of 55, 60, and 65 mg/m(2). Every treatment cycle was delivered on day 1 every 14 days. Pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was scheduled on day 2. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined as G4 hematological; G3 nonhematological; ?10% or ?20% left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction if the final value was <50% or ?50%, respectively; severe arrhythmia; and symptomatic heart failure. LVEF was evaluated by echocardiography every two cycles, and precursor brain natriuretic peptide (pBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were monitored on days 1 and 2.ResultsFive DLTs occurred (20.8%). No cardiac event of congestive heart failure was reported; 2 events of grade 3 cardiac dysfunction (8.3%), including a ?20% LVEF reduction in 1 patient and symptomatic arrhythmia in another; 2 incidences of G4 neutropenia (8.3%); and 1 occurrence of G3 asthenia (4.2%) were reported. MTDs were not reached. The recommended doses were established as TLC-D99 50 mg/m(2) and DTX 65 mg/m(2). Cumulatively, mild (G1-G2) cardiac dysfunction was observed in 58.4% of patients: G1 cardiac arrhythmia was noted in 50%, G1-G2 general cardiac toxicity occurred in 25%, and concomitant toxicity was present in 17%. cTnI never increased. pBNP was increased in 25% and was associated with limiting arrhythmia in 4% and cardiac dysfunction in 16%.ConclusionDose-dense TLC-D99 50 mg/m(2) and DTX 65 mg/m(2) can be safely administered in combination every 2 weeks for breast cancer, with the highest projected dose intensity for each drug at 25 and 32.5 mg/m(2) per week, respectively.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly responsive to neoadjuvant polychemotherapy regimens including anthracyclines, taxanes, and, more recently, carboplatin. However, there is inadequate information on the individual contribution of each of these agents to the global activity of the combinations, and the use of combinations of up to four of these drugs is associated with relevant toxicity. Identifying single-drug activity in the clinical neoadjuvant setting is challenging. We developed patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) from several chemotherapy-naïve TNBC samples to assess the antitumor activity of single drugs and combinations of drugs. PDXs were established from chemotherapy-naïve TNBC samples. Nine TNBC PDX models (all of which corresponded to a basal-like phenotype according to the PAM50 classifier) were treated with carboplatin, docetaxel, and doxorubicin and the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin. Only one of nine PDX models showed sensitivity to doxorubicin, while eight of nine PDX models showed sensitivity to docetaxel and carboplatin as single agents. The 3 PDX models derived from patients with gBRCA-1 or gPALB2 mutations were very sensitive to carboplatin single agent. All 6 PDX models from patients without hereditary germ-line mutations showed increased sensitivity to the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin. In the present study, docetaxel and carboplatin single agents were active drugs against basal-like TNBC, while doxorubicin monotherapy showed low activity. The combination of docetaxel and carboplatin was more effective than the drugs used as single agents, except in the PDX from patients with gBRCA1/PALB2 mutations.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficacy of chemotherapy regimens in breast cancer patients is variable and unpredictable. Whether individual patients either achieve long-term remission or suffer recurrence after therapy may be dictated by intrinsic properties of their breast tumors including genetic lesions and consequent aberrant transcriptional programs. Global gene expression profiling provides a powerful tool to identify such tumor-intrinsic transcriptional programs, whose analyses provide insight into the underlying biology of individual patient tumors. For example, multi-gene expression signatures have been identified that can predict the likelihood of disease reccurrence, and thus guide patient prognosis. Whereas such prognostic signatures are being introduced in the clinical setting, similar signatures that predict sensitivity or resistance to chemotherapy are not currently clinically available.MethodsWe used gene expression profiling to identify genes that were co-expressed with genes whose transcripts encode the protein targets of commonly used chemotherapeutic agents.ResultsHere, we present target based expression indices that predict breast tumor response to anthracycline and taxane based chemotherapy. Indeed, these signatures were independently predictive of chemotherapy response after adjusting for standard clinic-pathological variables such as age, grade, and estrogen receptor status in a cohort of 488 breast cancer patients treated with adriamycin and taxotere/taxol.ConclusionsImportantly, our findings suggest the practicality of developing target based indices that predict response to therapeutics, as well as highlight the possibility of using gene signatures to guide the use of chemotherapy during treatment of breast cancer patients.

Project description:PurposeA phase II, open-label, dose-finding, randomized study was performed to evaluate the recommended dose of pegfilgrastim in Japanese breast cancer patients.MethodsPatients received 1.8, 3.6, or 6.0 mg of pegfilgrastim once per chemotherapy cycle for up to 6 cycles. Patients received docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) therapy followed by pegfilgrastim on the next day.ResultsPegfilgrastim was administered to 87 women with stage II/III invasive breast carcinoma. The duration of grade 4 neutropenia in the first cycle, the primary endpoint, was 2.2 ± 0.9 days, 1.5 ± 0.9 days, and 1.4 ± 0.7 days in the 1.8, 3.6, and 6.0 mg groups, respectively. This finding indicated that pegfilgrastim efficacy peaked at 3.6 mg. Pegfilgrastim doses up to 6.0 mg were considered safe.ConclusionA 3.6-mg pegfilgrastim dose may be safe and effective for Japanese patients. A confirmatory study is required to establish safety and efficacy at this dose for intensive anti-cancer chemotherapy.

Project description:Expression of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) transporter and P-glycoprotein are associated with resistance to anticancer drugs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of single nucleotide polymorphism in the ABCB1 and CYP3A genes in breast cancer patients who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Stage II/III breast cancer patients were treated with three cycles of neoadjuvant, after which the patients received curative surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. The polymorphisms of ABCB1 and CYP3A were genotyped. The correlation of polymorphism of ABCB1, CYP3A, and clinical outcomes was analyzed. Among the 216 patients, ABCB1 3435TT genotype had a longer overall survival (OS). than CC/CT. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that good PS, invasive ductal carcinoma, non-triple negative phenotype and initial operable stage were significantly associated with a lower death risk. ABCB1 3435TT genotype had a higher AUC than CC/CT for docetaxel. These higher AUCs in the C3435TT was associated with increased toxicities of neutropenia and diarrhea. This study showed that the genetic polymorphism of ABCB1 C3435T might be associated with a longer OS. Our results also suggest that the prediction of docetaxel toxicity might be possible for C3435T polymorphism. This study results provides valuable information on individualized therapy according to genotypes.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Alternating administration of docetaxel and gemcitabine might result in improved time-to-treatment failure (TTF) and fewer adverse events compared with single-agent docetaxel as treatment of advanced breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Women diagnosed with advanced breast cancer were randomly allocated to receive 3-weekly docetaxel (group D) or 3-weekly docetaxel alternating with 3-weekly gemcitabine (group D/G) until treatment failure as first-line chemotherapy. The primary end point was TTF. RESULTS:Two hundred and thirty-seven subjects were assigned to treatment (group D, 115; group D/G, 122). The median TTF was 5.6 and 6.2 months in groups D and D/G, respectively (hazard ratio 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.63-1.16; P = 0.31). There was no significant difference in time-to-disease progression, survival, and response rate between the groups. When adverse events were evaluated for the worst toxicity encountered during treatment, there was little difference between the groups, but when they were assessed per cycle, alternating treatment was associated with fewer severe (grade 3 or 4) adverse effects (P = 0.013), and the difference was highly significant for cycles when gemcitabine was administered in group D/G (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION:The alternating regimen was associated with a similar TTF as single-agent docetaxel but with fewer adverse effects during gemcitabine cycles.
