Abstract
Background
Everolimus (EVE) has been approved by the FDA for hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer patients. However, in clinical practice, the toxicity of the standard dose (10 mg/d) limits its use.
Method
This study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and compliance of 5 mg/d and 10 mg/d EVE in combination with endocrine therapy in btreast cancer patients.
Results
Compared with the 5 mg/d group, the 10 mg/d group included more primary endocrine-resistant patients (46.7 % vs. 24.6 %; P = 0.036). There was no significant difference in overall ORR and DCR between the two groups and the difference in median PFS and OS was not statistically significant (PFS: 7.07 m vs. 8.07 m, P = 0.663; OS: 29.47 m vs. 30.53 m, P = 0.615). In the subgroup of patients with primary endocrine resistance and premenopausal patients, the PFS benefit of the 10 mg/d group was more significant. In the safety analysis, the 5 mg/d group had lower rates of fatigue (29.2 % vs. 53.3 %; P = 0.038) and diarrhea (10.8 % vs. 33.3 %; P = 0.011). In the compliance analysis, the 5 mg/d group had a lower treatment interruption rate, and fewer patients stopped treatment due to adverse reactions. For most patients, 5 mg/d and 10 mg/d EVE combined with endocrine therapy showed comparable efficacy, but the safety and compliance of 5 mg/d were better.
Conclusions
For patients with primary endocrine resistance and premenopausal patients, using standard-dose EVE resulted in greater PFS benefit.
deverolimus (EVE)已被FDA批准用于激素受体(HR)阳性、人表皮生长因子受体2 (HER2)阴性的晚期乳腺癌患者。然而,在临床实践中,标准剂量(10mg /d)的毒性限制了其使用。方法比较5mg /d和10mg /d EVE联合内分泌治疗乳腺癌患者的疗效、安全性和依从性。结果与5 mg/d组相比,10 mg/d组有更多的原发性内分泌抵抗患者(46.7% vs. 24.6%;p = 0.036)。两组总ORR和DCR比较差异无统计学意义,中位PFS和OS比较差异无统计学意义(PFS: 7.07 m vs 8.07 m, P = 0.663;OS: 29.47 m vs. 30.53 m, P = 0.615)。在原发性内分泌抵抗患者和绝经前患者亚组中,10 mg/d组的PFS获益更为显著。在安全性分析中,5mg /d组的疲劳率较低(29.2% vs. 53.3%;P = 0.038)和腹泻(10.8% vs. 33.3%;p = 0.011)。依从性分析中,5mg /d组治疗中断率较低,因不良反应停止治疗的患者较少。对于大多数患者,5mg /d和10mg /d EVE联合内分泌治疗的疗效相当,但5mg /d的安全性和依从性更好。结论对于原发性内分泌抵抗患者和绝经前患者,使用标准剂量EVE可获得更大的PFS益处。
