Pyrotinib plus capecitabine has been approved in China for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Meanwhile, vinorelbine is another important chemotherapy option for MBC available in oral and intravenous forms. Thus, pyrotinib plus vinorelbine may represent a new treatment option, particularly for patients with failed capecitabine treatment. This study reported the first real-world data for pyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy in HER2+ MBC.
HER2+ MBC patients (n = 97) treated with pyrotinib plus vinorelbine in six institutions across China from May 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and toxicity profiles were determined.
Sixty-seven percent of patients received more than two lines of systematic therapy. Nearly all patients (97.9%) had received trastuzumab and 50.5% were administered lapatinib. When combined with pyrotinib, 74.2% received oral and 25.8% received intravenous vinorelbine. Median PFS (mPFS) was 7.8 (range, 4.7-10.8) months for all patients. The mPFS in patients administered pyrotinib as second-line therapy and third-or-higher-line therapy were 12.0 and 6.4 months, respectively. Patients who received pyrotinib plus oral or intravenous vinorelbine had similar mPFS (7.8 vs. 6.4 months, p = 0.871). The 23 patients with brain metastases had mPFS of 6.3 (range, 3.4-9.2) months. Lapatinib-naïve patients had significantly longer PFS than lapatinib-treated patients (10.8 months vs. 5.6 months, p = 0.020). Median OS was not achieved. The ORR for 96 patients was 34.3%. Common grade 3 and 4 adverse events were diarrhea (22.7%), neutropenia (7.2%), and leukopenia (4.1%).
Pyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy demonstrated promising effects in HER2+ MBC with tolerable toxicity, particularly in patients with second-line treatment and without prior lapatinib treatment, as well as in patients with brain metastases. Oral vinorelbine is a useful alternative to the intravenous form when combined with pyrotinib.

吡咯替尼联合卡培他滨已在中国获批用于治疗人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)阳性转移性乳腺癌(MBC)。同时,长春瑞滨是MBC另一种重要的化疗选择,有口服和静脉注射两种剂型。因此,吡咯替尼联合长春瑞滨可能代表一种新的治疗选择,尤其适用于卡培他滨治疗失败的患者。本研究报告了吡咯替尼联合长春瑞滨治疗HER2阳性MBC的首个真实世界数据。
纳入2018年5月至2020年6月在中国6家机构接受吡咯替尼联合长春瑞滨治疗的HER2阳性MBC患者(n = 97)。测定无进展生存期(PFS)、客观缓解率(ORR)、总生存期(OS)和毒性特征。
67%的患者接受了超过两线的系统治疗。几乎所有患者(97.9%)接受过曲妥珠单抗治疗,50.5%接受过拉帕替尼治疗。与吡咯替尼联合使用时,74.2%的患者接受口服长春瑞滨,25.8%的患者接受静脉注射长春瑞滨。所有患者的中位PFS(mPFS)为7.8(范围4.7 - 10.8)个月。接受吡咯替尼作为二线治疗和三线及以上治疗的患者mPFS分别为12.0和6.4个月。接受吡咯替尼联合口服或静脉注射长春瑞滨的患者mPFS相似(7.8个月对6.4个月,p = 0.871)。23例脑转移患者的mPFS为6.3(范围3.4 - 9.2)个月。未接受过拉帕替尼治疗的患者PFS显著长于接受过拉帕替尼治疗的患者(10.8个月对5.6个月,p = 0.020)。未达到中位OS。96例患者的ORR为34.3%。常见的3级和4级不良事件为腹泻(22.7%)、中性粒细胞减少(7.2%)和白细胞减少(4.1%)。
吡咯替尼联合长春瑞滨治疗在HER2阳性MBC中显示出有前景的疗效且毒性可耐受,尤其在二线治疗且未接受过拉帕替尼治疗的患者以及脑转移患者中。与吡咯替尼联合使用时,口服长春瑞滨是静脉注射剂型的一种有用替代方案。
