Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pyrotinib, a novel irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has demonstrated promising antitumor activity to improve the overall response rate and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, the survival data of pyrotinib or pyrotinib plus capecitabine in HER2-positive MBC remains scarce. Thus, we summarized the updated individual patient data from the phase I trials of pyrotinib or pyrotinib plus capecitabine, to provide a cumulative assessment on long-term outcomes and associated biomarker analysis of irreversible TKIs in HER2-positive MBC patients.
Methods
We performed a pooled analysis of the phase I trials for pyrotinib or pyrotinib plus capecitabine based on the updated survival data from individual patients. Next-generation sequencing was performed on circulating tumor DNA for predictive biomarkers.
Results
A total of 66 patients were enrolled, including 38 patients from the phase Ib trial for pyrotinib and 28 patients from the phase Ic trial for pyrotinib plus capecitabine. The median follow-up duration was 84.2 months (95% CI: 74.7–93.7 months). The estimated median PFS in the entire cohort was 9.2 months (95% CI: 5.4–12.9 months) and median OS was 31.0 months (95% CI: 16.5–45.5 months). The median PFS was 8.2 months in the pyrotinib monotherapy cohort and 22.1 months in the pyrotinib plus capecitabine group, while the median OS was 27.1 months in the pyrotinib monotherapy group and 37.4 months in the pyrotinib plus capecitabine group. Biomarker analysis suggested that the patients harbored concomitant mutations from multiple pathways in HER2-related signaling network (HER2 bypass signaling pathways, PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and TP53) were observed with significantly poorer PFS and OS when compared to those with none or one genetic alteration (median PFS, 7.3 vs. 26.1 months, P = 0.003; median OS, 25.1 vs. 48.0 months, P = 0.013).
Conclusions
The updated survival results based on individual patient data from the phase I trials of pyrotinib-based regimen revealed promising PFS and OS in HER2-positive MBC. Concomitant mutations from multiple pathways in HER2-related signaling network may be a potential efficacy and prognosis biomarker for pyrotinib in HER2-positive MBC.
