Triple Negative Breast Cancer Patients Treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Phase I Trials: Improved Outcomes with Combination Chemotherapy and Targeted Agents
A partir de données portant sur 106 patientes atteintes d'un cancer métastatique du sein triplement négatif et ayant été incluses dans un essai de phase I au Centre MD Anderson entre août 2005 et mai 2012, cette étude identifie l'efficacité de traitements combinant une chimiothérapie, un inhibiteur de l'angiogenèse et/ou un inhibiteur des signalisations PI3K/AKT/mTOR
Patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) have poor treatment outcomes. We reviewed the electronic records of consecutive patients with metastatic TNBC treated in phase I clinic at MD Anderson between August 2005 and May 2012. One hundred and six patients received at least 1 phase I trial. Twelve of 98 evaluable patients (12%) had either complete response (n=1); partial response (n=7); or, stable disease ≥6 months (n=4). Patients treated on matched therapy (n=16) compared to those on non-matched therapy (n=90) had improved SD≥6 months/PR/CR (33% vs 8%; p=0.018) and longer PFS (median, 6.4 vs 1.9 months; p=0.001). Eleven of 57 evaluable patients (19%) treated with combination chemotherapy and targeted therapy had SD≥ 6 months/PR/CR versus 1 of 41 evaluable patients (2%) treated on other phase I trials (p=0.013); and longer PFS (3.0 vs 1.6 months; p<0.0001). Patients with molecular alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway treated on matched therapy (n=16) had improved PFS compared to those with and without molecular alterations treated on non-matched therapy (n=27) (6.4 vs 3.2 months; p= 0.036). On multivariate analysis, improved PFS was associated with treatment with combined chemotherapy and targeted agents (p=0.0002); ≤2 metastatic sites (p=0.003); therapy with PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors for those with cognate pathway abnormalities (p=0.018); and, treatment with anti-angiogenic agents (p=0.023). In summary, combinations of chemotherapy and angiogenesis and/or PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors demonstrated improved outcomes in metastatic TNBC patients.
