ABSTRACT: Introduction
Previous small-molecule antiangiogenics have compromised chemotherapy dose intensity in breast cancer. We present a phase I trial of a novel selective agent, nintedanib, plus standard chemotherapy in early breast cancer.Methods
Her-2-negative breast cancer patients with tumours larger than 2 cm were eligible for dose-escalation trial (classic 3+3 method).Results
The recommended phase II dose (RP2D) was 150 mg BID of nintedanib combined with standard dose of weekly paclitaxel followed by adriamycin plus cyclophosphamide. The dose-limiting toxicity was transaminase elevation. At the RP2D, the dose intensity was ∼100%. The pathologic complete response was 50%.Conclusions
The combination allows the delivery of full-dose intensity, while efficacy seems promising.
