Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies showed a synergistic effect for 5-fluorouracil and lurbinectedin against solid tumors. This phase I trial evaluated a combination of capecitabine plus lurbinectedin in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. Results in patients with relapsed metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are described. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients received capecitabine daily on day (D)1-D14 combined with lurbinectedin on D1, D8 or D1 every 3 weeks (q3w) intravenously, following a standard 3 + 3 escalation design and expansion at the recommended dose (RD). RESULTS: Of the 81 enrolled patients, 28 had relapsed MBC: 20 with hormone receptor (HR)-positive tumors and 8 with triple-negative tumors; 3 treated in the D1,D8 schedule and 25 in the D1 schedule. The RD was capecitabine 1650 mg/m(2) daily on D1-D14 plus lurbinectedin 2.2 mg/m(2) on D1 q3w. Sixteen confirmed responses and two prolonged disease stabilizations (≥6 months) were observed [overall response rate (ORR)/clinical benefit rate (CBR) = 57%/64% at all dose levels; 47%/60% at the RD]. Twelve responses and both prolonged stabilizations occurred in HR-positive tumors (ORR/CBR = 60%/70% at all dose levels, 56%/78% at the RD). Four responses were found in triple-negative tumors (ORR and CBR = 50% at all dose levels; 33% at the RD). Myelotoxicity was reversible and manageable at the RD; most non-hematological toxicities were mild/moderate. No episodes of febrile neutropenia or severe palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome occurred. No major pharmacokinetic drug–drug interaction was found between lurbinectedin, capecitabine or capecitabine metabolites. CONCLUSIONS: The capecitabine/lurbinectedin combination showed encouraging clinical activity in relapsed MBC, especially in HR-positive tumors. Toxicity was manageable at the RD. Further development is warranted in relapsed MBC. |
