Everolimus synergistically enhances taxane-induced cytotoxicity in breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo in addition to demonstrating a direct antiproliferative activity. We aim to determine pharmacodynamics changes and response of adding everolimus to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Phase II study in patients with primary TNBC randomized to T-FEC (paclitaxel 80 mg/m(2) i.v. weekly for 12 weeks, followed by 5-fluorouracil 500 mg/m(2), epirubicin 100 mg/m(2), and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks for four cycles) versus TR-FEC (paclitaxel 80 mg/m(2) i.v. and everolimus 30 mg PO weekly for 12 weeks, followed by FEC). Tumor samples were collected to assess molecular changes in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, at baseline, 48 h, 12 weeks, and at surgery by reverse phase protein arrays (RPPA). Clinical end points included 12-week clinical response rate (12-week RR), pathological complete response (pCR), and toxicity.
Sixty-two patients were registered, and 50 were randomized, 27 received T-FEC, and 23 received TR-FEC. Median age was 48 (range 31-75). There was downregulation of the mTOR pathway at 48 h in the TR-FEC arm. Twelve-week RR by ultrasound were 29.6% versus 47.8%, (P = 0.075), and pCR were 25.9% versus 30.4% (P = 0.76) for T-FEC and TR-FEC, respectively. mTOR downregulation at 48 h did not correlate with 12-week RR in the TR-FEC group (P = 0.58). Main NCI grade 3/4 toxicities included anemia, neutropenia, rash/desquamation, and vomiting in both arms. There was one case of grade 3 pneumonitis in the TR-FEC arm. No grade 3/4 stomatitis occurred.
The addition of everolimus to paclitaxel was well tolerated. Everolimus downregulated mTOR signaling but downregulation of mTOR at 48 h did not correlate with 12-week RR in the TR-FEC group.

依维莫司除了具有直接的抗增殖活性外,还能在体外和体内协同增强紫杉烷对乳腺癌细胞的细胞毒性。我们旨在确定在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)中,将依维莫司添加到标准新辅助化疗中的药效学变化及反应。
对原发性TNBC患者进行II期研究,随机分为T-FEC组(紫杉醇80mg/m²静脉注射,每周1次,共12周,随后每3周给予5-氟尿嘧啶500mg/m²、表柔比星100mg/m²和环磷酰胺500mg/m²,共4个周期)和TR-FEC组(紫杉醇80mg/m²静脉注射,依维莫司30mg口服,每周1次,共12周,随后给予FEC)。在基线、48小时、12周及手术时采集肿瘤样本,通过反相蛋白阵列(RPPA)评估PI3K/AKT/mTOR通路的分子变化。临床终点包括12周临床缓解率(12周RR)、病理完全缓解(pCR)和毒性。
登记62例患者,50例随机分组,27例接受T-FEC,23例接受TR-FEC。中位年龄为48岁(范围31 - 75岁)。TR-FEC组在48小时时mTOR通路下调。T-FEC组和TR-FEC组通过超声评估的12周RR分别为29.6%和47.8%(P = 0.075),pCR分别为25.9%和30.4%(P = 0.76)。TR-FEC组48小时时mTOR下调与12周RR无关(P = 0.58)。两组主要的美国国立癌症研究所(NCI)3/4级毒性包括贫血、中性粒细胞减少、皮疹/脱屑和呕吐。TR-FEC组有1例3级肺炎。未发生3/4级口腔炎。
将依维莫司添加到紫杉醇中耐受性良好。依维莫司下调mTOR信号,但TR-FEC组48小时时mTOR下调与12周RR无关。
