Abstract
Background: The phase 2 PERMEATE study has shown the antitumor activity and safety of pyrotinib plus capecitabine in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer and brain metastases. In this report, survival results were updated with extended follow-up.
Methods: Between January 29, 2019 and July 10, 2020, adult patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who had radiotherapy-naïve brain metastases (cohort A, n = 59) or progressive disease after radiotherapy (cohort B, n = 19) were enrolled and received pyrotinib (400 mg once daily) and capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Secondary endpoints progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were updated, and post-hoc central nervous system (CNS)-PFS was analyzed. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03691051).
Findings: As of February 2, 2023, the median follow-up duration was 30.9 months (interquartile range, 16.1-39.8). Median PFS was 10.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.6-14.6) in cohort A and 5.7 months (95% CI, 3.4-11.5) in cohort B. Median OS was 35.9 months (95% CI, 24.4-not reached) in cohort A and 30.6 months (95% CI, 12.6-33.3) in cohort B. Median CNS-PFS was 13.6 months (95% CI, 9.0-15.8) in cohort A and 5.7 months (95% CI, 3.4-11.5) in cohort B. Median OS was 34.1 months (95% CI, 21.7-not reached) for 14 patients with intracranial progression only in cohort A who restarted pyrotinib plus capecitabine after local radiotherapy.
Interpretation: These data support further validation in a randomized controlled trial for the assessment of pyrotinib in combination with capecitabine as systemic therapy for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and brain metastases.
