Phase Ib/II single-arm trial evaluating the combination of everolimus, lapatinib and capecitabine for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastases (TRIO-US B-09).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improving outcomes for patients with human epidermal growth factor 2-positive (HER2+) central nervous system (CNS) metastases remains an unmet clinical need. This trial evaluated a novel combination of everolimus, lapatinib and capecitabine for this disease.

Methods

Patients with trastuzumab-pretreated, HER2+ breast cancer brain metastasis without prior therapy with a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor were eligible. Patients received lapatinib and everolimus daily (continuously) and capecitabine twice daily (d1-14) in 21-d cycles. The primary endpoint was the 12-week CNS objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included safety, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), best CNS ORR and extra-CNS ORR.
