Abstract
Background
In this report, we present results from studies of eribulin as monotherapy (Study 223) and in combination with irinotecan (the phase II part of Study 213) for patients with relapsed/refractory pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS), or Ewing sarcoma (EWS).
Patients and methods
Studies 223 and 213 were phase II multicenter trials that enrolled pediatric patients with histologically confirmed disease. Treatment comprised 21-day cycles of eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 (Study 223) or eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 plus irinotecan 40 mg/m2 on days 1-5 (Study 213). For both studies, the primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR); secondary endpoint included safety.
Results
In Study 223, 21 patients (RMS, n = 8; NRSTS, n = 8; EWS, n = 5) were enrolled and treated. No responses were observed, resulting in early termination of enrollment. By the data cut-off date (22 February 2021), six patients (RMS, n = 3; NRSTS, n = 1; EWS, n = 2) had stable disease for ≥5 weeks. All patients had one or more treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), most commonly neutrophil count decreased (71.4%). In Study 213 (phase II part), 27 patients (RMS, n = 9; NRSTS, n = 9; EWS, n = 9) were enrolled/treated. By the data cut-off date (9 July 2021), three patients (one in each cohort) had had a response, resulting in an ORR of 11.1% and DORs of 2.9 (RMS), 1.4 (NRSTS), and 15.4 (EWS) months. All patients had one or more TEAE, most commonly diarrhea and neutrophil count decreased (51.9% each).
Conclusions
Eribulin, as monotherapy or combination therapy, exhibited a safety profile consistent with that observed previously in adult populations; however, efficacy in both studies was not considered adequate to advance investigation in these disease areas.
