Abstract Background Eribulin improves survival in pre-treated HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). However, limited data exist on co-morbidities and central nervous system (CNS) efficacy. The purpose of this study was to review eribulin’s efficacy and safety in everyday clinical practice with special focus on age, body mass index (BMI) and central nervous system (CNS) activity. Methods An observational study was conducted in a series of HER2-negative ABC patients treated from January’14-December’17 outside a clinical trial. Objective Response Rate (ORR), Progression Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), and association of clinical and pathological variables with outcome were evaluated. Results Ninety-five women were treated with at least one cycle of eribulin. Median age was 57 (33–83), and 18% were obese. Median number of prior chemotherapies for ABC was 3 (2–5) and 76% of patients had visceral metastases, including 21% with CNS involvement. Most tumors were estrogen receptor-positive (79%). ORR and stable disease (SD) at 6 months were 26.2 and 37.5%, respectively. Remarkably, relevant CNS efficacy was observed with eribulin: 20% of patients obtained partial response and 25% SD. Treatment was generally well tolerated and manageable, with 29% grade 3 and 10.9% grade 4 toxicities. Median PFS and OS were 4.1 months (CI95% 3.2–4.9) and 11.1 months (CI95% 9.5–14.7), respectively. Triple-negative disease, > 2organs involved and being younger than 70 years old were independent prognosis factors for worse OS in multivariate analysis. Most patients (75%) progressed in pre-existing metastases sites. Conclusion In everyday clinical practice, eribulin’s efficacy seems similar to pivotal trials. CNS-efficacy was observed. TNBC, > 2 organs involved and being younger than 70 years old were independent prognosis factors for worse OS. Remarkably, less incidence of grade 4-toxicity compared to previous studies was found.

Aim. The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of eribulin in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC) in Russian clinical practice. Materials and methods. The analysis included 459 patients with advanced BC from 44 federal and municipal medical clinics in Russia and received at least 2 courses of treatment with eribulin in accordance with the registered indications for drug. The average age of women was 56 years (between 29 and 81 years), 83% of patients had HER2-negative tumor subtype (49.9% - luminal BC and 33.1% - triple-negative BC) HER2-positive biological tumor subtype was registered in 17% of patients. Visceral metastases were diagnosed in 73% of patients and three-zone and multiple zone metastases were diagnosed in 41.6% of cases. The median number of prior lines of therapy in patients with disseminated disease was 2; anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy was applied in 94.3% of patients, and 38.1% of patients were recived CT plus capecitabine. Standard treatment regimen with eribulin was cotinuing (1.4 mg/m² as a 2-5-minute intravenous infusion administrated on days 1, 8 of a 21-day cycle) until disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or impossibility of the drug administration for any other reason. We estimated the efficacy and safety of treatment with eribulin in Russian patients with HER2-negative BC. Results. Objective response rate was achieved in 20.5% of cases, complete response rate was in 3.2%, partial - 17.3%, and the stable disease rate was marked in 52.7% of women, and in 19.7% of these cases was prolonged more than 6 months. The frequency of objective response was higher in luminal BC group compared with triple-negative BC: 23.5% vs 15.8%; tumor growth control 76.9% vs. 67.8%, respectively; p

The management of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-positive breast cancer has improved over the past decade. However, despite improvements in systemic control, a substantial proportion of patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer suffer from central nervous system metastases and even intracranial progression after aggressive local treatment. There is paucity of data and no consensus on the systemic therapies for patients with intracranial progression. This review discusses both local and systemic treatments for HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastases with a special focus on the response of central nervous system metastases. A recommended practical treatment algorithm to guide physicians in selecting the most appropriate anti-HER2 therapy for their patients is suggested.

Abstract BACKGROUND Despite the growing number of neuro-oncology clinical trials, there have been limited advances in the treatment of malignant primary central nervous system tumors. We surveyed the landscape of past, ongoing, and planned trials to assess trends in their interventions, outcomes, and design considerations to guide future studies. METHODS Data on interventional trials on ClinicalTrials.gov were accessed programmatically using AACT and R. Neuro-oncology trials were isolated using primary malignant brain tumor classification terms. Instrument names from PROQOLID were used to identify clinical outcome assessment (COA) use. Linear regression was used to assess chronological trends; power analyses utilized CBTRUS survival rates among trials investigating overall survival. RESULTS We identified 3039 interventional brain tumor trials that started between 1966 and 2025. Trials were most frequently phase II (43%), completed (40%), non-blinded (92%), single-group assignment (65%), non-randomized (51%) studies targeting glioblastoma (45%). Planned outcomes were reported by 93% of trials; this included adverse event or toxicity (54%), overall/x-year survival (44%), progression free survival (43%), maximum tolerated dose (16%), and objective response rate (14%). Evaluating the anticipated and actual trial enrollment, we estimate that only 10% and 8% of trial arms, respectively, were sufficiently powered to assess overall survival endpoints. 21% of trials mentioned the use of a COA (first trial initiated in 1992), majority of which were patient-reported outcomes. Among these, 25% and 58% reported COA as a primary or secondary outcome, respectively. The rate of COA use increased linearly over time at 1.1%/year but remained less than 5 trials per year until 2003. Ongoing work is investigating treatment mechanisms of actions and evidence of preclinical efficacy among brain tumor studies. CONCLUSIONS Low randomization rates and underpowered trial design may impede interpretability of efficacy. Increasing trends in COA use suggests cumulative influence of advocacy efforts to holistically evaluate net clinical benefit of interventions.
