Novel targeted agents and combinations have become available in multiple lines of treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2(+)) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In this context, alternatives to the lapatinib (L) and capecitabine (C) regimen, evaluating L combined with other cytotoxic drugs, are warranted.
In the present phase II, multicenter study, patients with HER2(+) MBC with progression after taxane were randomized between L, 1250 mg, combined with C, 2000 mg/m(2) on days 1 to 14 (LC), vinorelbine (V), 25 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 (LV), or gemcitabine (G), 1000 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 (LG), every 21 days. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate.
A total of 142 patients were included from 2009 to 2012. No differences were found in the patient baseline characteristics. The median age was 51 years, 69% were postmenopausal, 32% had liver metastasis, 57% were hormone receptor negative, and 48% had been previously treated with trastuzumab. The overall response rate was 49% (95% confidence interval [CI], 34.8%-63.4%), 56% (95% CI, 40%-70.4%), and 41% (95% CI, 27%-56.8%) in the LC, LV, and LG groups, respectively. The median progression-free survival was 9 months in the LC arm and 7 months in the other 2 arms (P = .28). The most common grade 3 and 4 adverse events were hand-foot syndrome (18%), diarrhea (6%), and increased alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (4%) in the LC arm; neutropenia (36%), diarrhea (9%), and febrile neutropenia (6%) in the LV arm; and neutropenia (47%), alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (13%), and rash (4%) in the LG arm.
LV and LG seem to be active combinations in patients with HER2(+) MBC after taxane failure. The overall toxicity was manageable in all regimens.
新型靶向药物及联合用药已应用于人类表皮生长因子受体2阳性(HER2(+))转移性乳腺癌(MBC)的多线治疗。在此背景下,有必要评估拉帕替尼(L)联合其他细胞毒性药物,作为拉帕替尼(L)与卡培他滨(C)方案的替代方案。
在这项II期多中心研究中,紫杉烷治疗后病情进展的HER2(+) MBC患者被随机分为三组,分别接受L(1250 mg)联合C(2000 mg/m²,第1至14天)(LC组)、长春瑞滨(V)(25 mg/m²,第1天和第8天)(LV组)或吉西他滨(G)(1000 mg/m²,第1天和第8天)(LG组)治疗,每21天为一个周期。主要终点为总缓解率。
2009年至2012年共纳入142例患者。患者基线特征无差异。中位年龄为51岁,69%为绝经后女性,32%有肝转移,57%激素受体阴性,48%曾接受曲妥珠单抗治疗。LC组、LV组和LG组的总缓解率分别为49%(95%置信区间[CI],34.8%-63.4%)、56%(95%CI,40%-70.4%)和41%(95%CI,27%-56.8%)。LC组的中位无进展生存期为9个月,其他两组为7个月(P = 0.28)。LC组最常见的3级和4级不良事件为手足综合征(18%)、腹泻(6%)和丙氨酸氨基转移酶/天冬氨酸氨基转移酶升高(4%);LV组为中性粒细胞减少(36%)、腹泻(9%)和发热性中性粒细胞减少(6%);LG组为中性粒细胞减少(47%)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶/天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(13%)和皮疹(4%)。
紫杉烷治疗失败的HER2(+) MBC患者中,LV和LG似乎是有效的联合方案。所有方案的总体毒性均可控制。
