Abstract
Background Circulating tumour cells (CTC) may be a good biomarker to guide the management of patients with LAMBC (Cristofanilli, NEJM 2004). Detection of CTCs in peripheral blood is a simple procedure. Eribulin monotherapy has shown improved survival in patients with LAMBC that has progressed after 2 or 3 chemotherapy regimens (EMBRACE study). The aims of this study were to evaluate the kinetics of CTCs before and after eribulin treatment, and its correlation with clinical outcomes. Methods Patients received eribulin (1.23 mg/m 2 on days 1 and 8 of every 21-day cycle) as third-line therapy until progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal. CTCs were measured in 7.5ml of blood at baseline and after the second cycle of treatment. Cell counting was performed using the CellSearch System, Veridex. Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to identify independent prognostic factors for survival endpoints. Results Out of 59 eligible women (mean age 57.7 years), 58 (98.3%) had received previous taxanes and/or anthracyclines. Nearly all (98.3%) had HER2-negative tumors, 72% were positive for estrogens, 21% were triple-negative; 64.4% had liver metastasis and 57.6% bone metastasis. The mean number of administered cycles was 6.9 ± 5.4. Follow-up was performed in 54 patients, with 18.5% (n=10) partial response, 42.6% (n=23) stable disease, and 38.9% (n=21) progressive disease. Clinical benefit was achieved in 33 patients (61.1%). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.13 months (95% CI 3.23, 8.90) and median overall survival (OS) was 13.6 months (95% CI 11.8, not reached). CTC levels were measured in 50 patients. The mean number of CTCs at baseline was 16.8 (IQR 0-21) and on cycle 2, 5.4 (IQR 0-8.5), p Conclusions Our study suggests there is a significant correlation between levels of CTCs and disease prognosis. Eribulin monotherapy was related to a significant reduction in CTCs. (EudraCT number 2013-001416-30). Keywords eribulin, metastatic, breast cancer, circulating tumour cells.
