BACKGROUND: Treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer remain limited. Activation of the PI3K pathway via loss of PTEN and/or INPP4B is common. Buparlisib is an orally bioavailable, pan-class I PI3K inhibitor. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of buparlisib in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. METHODS: This was a single-arm phase 2 study enrolling patients with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. Patients were treated with buparlisib at a starting dose of 100 mg daily. The primary endpoint was clinical benefit, defined as confirmed complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) for ≥ 4 months, per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. A subset of patients underwent pre- and on-treatment tumor tissue biopsies for correlative studies. RESULTS: Fifty patients were enrolled. Median number of cycles was 2 (range 1-10). The clinical benefit rate was 12% (6 patients, all SD ≥ 4 months). Median PFS was 1.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.6-2.3). Median OS was 11.2 months (95% CI 6.2-25). The most frequent adverse events were fatigue (58% all grades, 8% grade 3), nausea (34% all grades, none grade 3), hyperglycemia (34% all grades, 4% grade 3), and anorexia (30% all grades, 2% grade 3). Eighteen percent of patients experienced depression (12% grade 1, 6% grade 2) and anxiety (10% grade 1, 8% grade 2). Alterations in PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN were present in 6/27 patients with available targeted DNA sequencing (MSK-IMPACT), 3 of whom achieved SD as best overall response though none with clinical benefit ≥ 4 months. Of five patients with paired baseline and on-treatment biopsies, reverse phase protein arrays (RPPA) analysis demonstrated reduction of S6 phosphorylation in 2 of 3 patients who achieved SD, and in none of the patients with progressive disease. CONCLUSIONS: Buparlisib was associated with prolonged SD in a very small subset of patients with triple-negative breast cancer; however, no confirmed objective responses were observed. Downmodulation of key nodes in the PI3K pathway was observed in patients who achieved SD. PI3K pathway inhibition alone may be insufficient as a therapeutic strategy for triple-negative breast cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01790932 . Registered on 13 February 2013; NCT01629615 .

背景:三阴性乳腺癌的治疗选择仍然有限。PI3K 通路的激活通过缺失 PTEN 和/或 INPP4B 是常见的。Buparlisib 是一种口服生物利用的、泛 I 类 PI3K 抑制剂。我们评估了 buparlisib 对转移性三阴性乳腺癌患者的安全性和疗效。
方法:这是一项单臂 2 期研究,纳入了三阴性转移性乳腺癌患者。患者以 100mg 每日的起始剂量接受 buparlisib 治疗。主要终点是临床获益,定义为根据 RECIST 1.1 确认完全缓解(CR)、部分缓解(PR)或稳定疾病(SD)≥4 个月。次要终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)和毒性。一部分患者在治疗前和治疗期间进行肿瘤组织活检,进行相关研究。
结果:共纳入 50 例患者。中位数治疗周期数为 2 个(范围 1-10)。临床获益率为 12%(6 例患者,均为 SD 持续≥4 个月)。中位 PFS 为 1.8 个月(95%置信区间[CI]1.6-2.3)。中位 OS 为 11.2 个月(95%CI6.2-25)。最常见的不良反应是疲劳(58%所有级别,8%3 级)、恶心(34%所有级别,无 3 级)、高血糖(34%所有级别,4%3 级)和厌食(30%所有级别,2%3 级)。18%的患者出现抑郁(12%1 级,6%2 级)和焦虑(10%1 级,8%2 级)。在 27 例可进行靶向 DNA 测序(MSK-IMPACT)的患者中,有 6 例存在 PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN 改变,其中 3 例作为最佳总体反应达到 SD,但均未达到 4 个月以上的临床获益。在 5 例具有基线和治疗期间配对活检的患者中,反转录蛋白阵列(RPPA)分析显示,在 3 例达到 SD 的患者中,有 2 例 S6 磷酸化减少,而在进展性疾病患者中均未观察到。
结论:Buparlisib 与三阴性乳腺癌患者中非常小的一部分患者的 SD 延长相关;然而,没有观察到确认的客观缓解。在达到 SD 的患者中观察到 PI3K 通路关键节点的下调。PI3K 通路抑制可能不足以作为三阴性乳腺癌的治疗策略。
