Abstract 405P
Background
E7389-LF is a liposomal formulation of eribulin being tested as 1L chemotherapy in pts with advanced HER2− BC. In an open-label phase 1 study of E7389-LF, a dose-escalation part determined a recommended regimen of 2.0 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks (Q3W). Here, we present efficacy and safety data from the dose-expansion part in Japanese pts with confirmed metastatic HER2− BC who had not received prior chemotherapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease.
Methods
E7389-LF was administered at 2.0 mg/m2 Q3W until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Efficacy endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Tumors were assessed by investigators per RECIST v1.1. Additionally, a subanalysis was conducted in pts with luminal BC (hormone receptor-positive [HR+]) and in pts with triple-negative BC (TNBC) who were programmed-death ligand 1-negative (PD-L1−). Adverse events (AEs) were monitored and recorded, and serum biomarkers were explored.
Results
At the data cutoff date (October 26, 2022), of 26 pts who received E7389-LF, 10 (38.5%) had ongoing treatment; 16 pts discontinued due to either disease progression (13 [50%]), AEs (2 [7.7%]), or pt choice (1 [3.8%]). Median age was 59 y (range 35–77); 19 pts (73.1%) had ECOG-PS 0; 22 pts (84.6%) were HR+; 4 pts (15.4%) had TNBC and were PD-L1−. ORR was 30.8% overall (HR+: 27.3%; TNBC and PD-L1−: 50%). Median PFS was 8.1 months (95% CI 4.4–11.1). Median OS was not reached (95% CI not estimable). Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) led to dose reduction in 15 pts and drug discontinuation in 2 pts. TEAEs of grade ≥3 occurred in 25 pts (96.2%), most commonly (>40%) neutropenia (n=20, 76.9%) and leukopenia (n=11, 42.3%). Of 7 pts given prophylactic pegylated granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (peg-GCSF), 0 developed febrile neutropenia (FN). Of the 19 pts without peg-GCSF, 2 (10.5%) had FN. Changes in vasculature- and IFNγ-related serum markers were noted.
Conclusions
E7389-LF showed promising efficacy and a manageable toxicity profile and should be explored as a 1L treatment option for pts with advanced HER2− BC.
