Eribulin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer: Final Analysis of the Prospective Cohort IRENE Study.

ABSTRACT: Eribulin is a preferred treatment for patients with advanced breast cancer (BC) following anthracyclines and taxanes. The final analysis of the IRENE study assessed the incidence and resolution of eribulin-induced peripheral neuropathy (EIPN), along with safety and quality of life (QoL), in patients with advanced/metastatic BC. IRENE was an observational, single-arm, prospective, multicenter cohort study. Patients aged ≥18 years with locally advanced/metastatic BC that progressed after 1-3 prior chemotherapeutic regimens received eribulin and were monitored for new-onset or worsening EIPN. Secondary endpoints included time to disease progression, safety, and health-related QoL. In total, 108 (32.2%) out of 335 patients experienced EIPN; 18 (5.4%) experienced grade ≥3 EIPN.
