Pyrotinib plus capecitabine for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and brain metastases (PERMEATE trial): overall survival results from a multicenter, single-arm, two-cohort, phase 2 trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The phase 2 PERMEATE study has shown the antitumor activity and safety of pyrotinib plus capecitabine in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer and brain metastases. In this report, survival results were updated with extended follow-up.

Methods

Between January 29, 2019 and July 10, 2020, adult patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who had radiotherapy-naïve brain metastases (cohort A, n = 59) or progressive disease after radiotherapy (cohort B, n = 19) were enrolled and received pyrotinib (400 mg once daily) and capecitabine (1000 mg/m² twice daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Secondary endpoints progression-free survival (PF
