Liposome-Encapsulated Eribulin Shows Enhanced Antitumor Activity over Eribulin for Combination Therapy with Anti-PD-1 Antibody.

ABSTRACT: Eribulin is a microtubule dynamics inhibitor with tumor microenvironment modulation activity such as vascular remodeling activity. Here, we investigated antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of eribulin and its liposomal formulation (eribulin-LF) as monotherapies or in combination with anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) Ab. The antitumor activity of eribulin or eribulin-LF as monotherapy or in combination with anti-PD-1 Ab was examined in a P-glycoprotein-knockout 4T1 model. Eribulin and eribulin-LF showed stronger antitumor activity in immunocompetent mice compared with immunodeficient mice, indicating that they have immunomodulatory activity that underlies its antitumor activity. Combination therapy of eribulin and eribulin-LF with anti-PD-1 Ab showed antitumor activity, and the combinat
