Pyrotinib-based therapeutic approaches for HER2-positive breast cancer: the time is now.

ABSTRACT: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC) is a highly aggressive subtype associated with poor prognosis. The advent of HER2-targeted drugs, including monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and antibody-drug conjugates, has yielded improved prognosis for patients. Compared with widely used monoclonal antibodies, small-molecule TKIs have unique advantages including oral administration and favorable penetration of blood-brain barrier for brain metastatic BC, and reduced cardiotoxicity. Pyrotinib is an irreversible TKI of the pan-ErbB receptor, and has recently been shown to be clinically effective for the treatment of HER2-positive BC in metastatic and neoadjuvant settings. This review highlights the development on the application of pyrotinib-based therapeutic approaches in the clinical settings of HER2-positive BC.

Project description:BackgroundHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer patients continue to progress despite multiple anti-HER2-targeted treatments. A number of studies have found that Pyrotinib, a small-molecule pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is effective in treating patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pyrotinib in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched until February 2022. Research on HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer being treated with Pyrotinib in any line of therapy was included, both prospective and retrospective. Statistical pooling and meta-analysis of data from the included studies were performed to explore the efficacy and safety of Pyrotinib in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.ResultsIn this meta-analysis, 23 studies were included. The overall objective response rate was 0.49 (95% CI: 0.40, 0.58) for Pyrotinib in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.32, 0.71) in those with brain metastases. The objective response rate of Pyrotinib was superior to that of other second-line therapeutics in comparison (RR =1.38, 95% CI: 1.25, 1.52), but was relatively inferior to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) (RR =0.82, 95% CI: 0.36, 1.85). The combined median progression-free survivals (PFSs) for Pyrotinib in metastatic breast cancer and those with brain metastases were 8.2 (95% CI: 6.8, 9.5) months and 8.9 (95% CI: 6.2, 11.7) months, respectively. The most common adverse reaction was diarrhea with an all-grade incidence of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.74, 0.92), followed by nausea and vomiting of 0.52 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.68).ConclusionsIn any line of treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, the Pyrotinib-containing regimens demonstrated considerable tumor response, disease control, and survival with manageable adverse effects.

Project description:IntroductionPyrotinib plus capecitabine has been approved in China for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Meanwhile, vinorelbine is another important chemotherapy option for MBC available in oral and intravenous forms. Thus, pyrotinib plus vinorelbine may represent a new treatment option, particularly for patients with failed capecitabine treatment. This study reported the first real-world data for pyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy in HER2+ MBC.MethodsHER2+ MBC patients (n = 97) treated with pyrotinib plus vinorelbine in six institutions across China from May 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and toxicity profiles were determined.ResultsSixty-seven percent of patients received more than two lines of systematic therapy. Nearly all patients (97.9%) had received trastuzumab and 50.5% were administered lapatinib. When combined with pyrotinib, 74.2% received oral and 25.8% received intravenous vinorelbine. Median PFS (mPFS) was 7.8 (range, 4.7-10.8) months for all patients. The mPFS in patients administered pyrotinib as second-line therapy and third-or-higher-line therapy were 12.0 and 6.4 months, respectively. Patients who received pyrotinib plus oral or intravenous vinorelbine had similar mPFS (7.8 vs. 6.4 months, p = 0.871). The 23 patients with brain metastases had mPFS of 6.3 (range, 3.4-9.2) months. Lapatinib-naïve patients had significantly longer PFS than lapatinib-treated patients (10.8 months vs. 5.6 months, p = 0.020). Median OS was not achieved. The ORR for 96 patients was 34.3%. Common grade 3 and 4 adverse events were diarrhea (22.7%), neutropenia (7.2%), and leukopenia (4.1%).ConclusionsPyrotinib plus vinorelbine therapy demonstrated promising effects in HER2+ MBC with tolerable toxicity, particularly in patients with second-line treatment and without prior lapatinib treatment, as well as in patients with brain metastases. Oral vinorelbine is a useful alternative to the intravenous form when combined with pyrotinib.Clinical trial registration[ClinicalTrials.gov], identifier [NCT04517305].
