Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Eribulin Mesylate Administered Biweekly (Q2W) for Participants With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT02481050
- Lead Sponsor
- Eisai Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm, multicenter, 2-stage study of eribulin mesylate administered biweekly at 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously for the treatment of participants with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer previously treated with 2 to 5 chemotherapy regimens.
- Detailed Description
This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm, multicenter, 2-stage study of eribulin mesylate administered biweekly at 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously for the treatment of participants with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer previously treated with 2 to 5 chemotherapy regimens. The study will be conducted in 3 Phases: a Pretreatment Phase (screening visit), a Treatment Phase (starting with Cycle 1 Day 1), and a Posttreatment Phase (End of treatment visit and survival follow up). Participants may remain on study drug as long as they demonstrate clinical benefit or until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, or disease progression occurs, until the participant withdraws consent, or death.

-
Females who are breastfeeding or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (as documented by a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin ([B-hCG] test). A separate Baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first dose of study drug.
-
All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (ie, bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before dosing).
-
Females of childbearing potential who had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days before study entry and who do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (eg, total abstinence, an intrauterine device, a double-barrier method [such as condom plus diaphragm with spermicide], a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive, or have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period or for 28 days after study drug discontinuation.
Females who are currently abstinent and do not agree to use a double barrier method as described above or to refrain from sexual activity during the study period or for 28 days after study drug discontinuation.
Females who are using hormonal contraceptives but are not on a stable dose of the same hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks before dosing and who do not agree to use the same contraceptive during the study or for 28 days after study drug discontinuation.
-
Known central nervous system (CNS) disease, except for those participants with treated brain metastasis who are stable for at least 1 month with no evidence of progression or hemorrhage after treatment and no ongoing requirement for corticosteroids.
-
Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.
-
Existing anticancer, therapy-related toxicities of Grades greater than or equal to 2, with the exception of alopecia.
-
A prior malignancy other than carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or nonmelanoma skin cancer, unless the prior malignancy was diagnosed and definitively treated greater than 5 years previously with no subsequent evidence of recurrence.
-
Clinically significant cardiovascular impairment (congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association [NYHA] Classification greater than II, unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, or serious cardiac arrhythmia).
-
Clinically significant ECG abnormality, including a marked Baseline prolonged QT/QTc interval (ie, a repeated demonstration of a QTc interval greater than 500 milliseconds).

-
History of concomitant medical condition(s) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the participant's ability to safely complete the study.

Group Intervention Description Eribulin Mesylate Eribulin Mesylate Participants with metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer previously treated with 2 to 5 chemotherapy regimens.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Investigator Assessment From first dose of study drug until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until the participant withdrew consent (approximately up to 2.3 years) ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) measured by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions (a short diameter is less than \[\<\] 10 millimeter \[mm\] if it exists in a lymph node). PR defined as at least 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the long diameter (LD) of all target lesions, as compared with Baseline summed LD.
Disease Control Rate (DCR) by Investigator Assessment From first dose of study drug until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until the participant withdrew consent (approximately up to 2.3 years) DCR was defined as the percentage of participants who had BOR of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) measured by RECIST 1.1. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions (a short diameter is \<10 mm if it exists in a lymph node). PR defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of all target lesions, as compared with Baseline summed LD. SD defined as reduction in tumor volume of less than 50% or an increase in the volume of 1 or more measurable lesions of less than 25% without the appearance of any new lesions which was neither tumor shrinkage corresponding to PR nor tumor expansion corresponding to disease progression. SD must be achieved at greater than equal to (\>=) 7 weeks after the first eribulin administration to be considered BOR.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival (OS) From date of first dose of study drug administration until date of death from any cause (approximately up to 2.3 years) OS was defined as the time from date of first dose of study drug until date of death from any cause.
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From first dose of study drug (Baseline) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 2.3 years) Progression-Free Survival (PFS) by Investigator Assessment From first dose of study drug until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until the participant withdrew consent (approximately up to 2.3 years) PFS was defined as the time from date of first dose of study drug to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.
Feasibility Rate Cycle 2 Day 28 and Cycle 4 Day 28 ( cycle length=28 days) Feasibility rate is defined as the percentage of participants completing the first 2 and 4 cycles (1 cycle = 28 days) of eribulin mesylate treatment (4 and 8 doses) without requiring dose delay greater than (\>) 5 days or reduction due to adverse event (AE).
