Notes
Background: Bevacizumab in combination with taxanes has become a standard first-line treatment of advanced breast cancer in some countries, but there is no information on its use in combination with pegylated lipsomal doxorubicin in metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, we performed a multicenter, single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and bevacizumab (B) as first-line treatment in advanced breast cancer. Methods: PLD at a dose of 20 mg/m2 and B at 10 mg/kg were infused on days 1 and 15 of each 4-week cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. Thereafter, B monotherapy was continued at the same dose until progression or toxicity. Primary endpoint was the occurrence of specific toxic events known to strongly interfere with quality of life, i.e., severe cardiac toxicity, any grade 4/5 toxicity, and selected grade 3 nonhematological toxicities (hand-foot-syndrome, cognitive disturbance, CNS hemorrhage, and mucositis/stomatitis). Secondary endpoints included overall response, progression free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure, and duration of response. Eligibility criteria included documentation of metastatic or inoperable breast cancer; measurable disease according to RECIST; erbB2-negativity; LVEF of ≥ 55%; WHO performance status 0 or 1. The study used a Herndon's two-stage design with 14 and 29 patients for stages 1 and 2, respectively. The promising rate of primary toxicity was <15% and the uninteresting rate >33%. The type I error probability was 5% and the power 80%. Results: The trial had to be stopped prematurely because of toxicity after the enrollment of 41 evaluable patients. Among these patients, 16 (39%) had grade 3 hand-foot syndrome, 1 grade 3 mucositis and 1 grade 4 cardiac toxicity. Thus, a total of 18/41 (44%, exact 95% c.i. 28-60%) of all patients had a primary toxicity. Best overall response rate was 23.3% (exact 95% c.i. 12-39%), median PFS was 7.5 months (95% c.i. 4.6-8.1 months). Conclusions: The combination of 2-weekly PLD and B in advanced breast cancer is surprisingly toxic and only modestly active and should not be further investigated.
