Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Eribulin Mesylate Administered Biweekly (Q2W) for Participants With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

A Phase 2, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Eribulin Mesylate Administered Biweekly (Q2W) for Subjects With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm, multicenter, 2-stage study of eribulin mesylate administered biweekly at 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously for the treatment of participants with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer previously treated with 2 to 5 chemotherapy regimens.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Breast Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Eribulin Mesylate

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm, multicenter, 2-stage study of eribulin mesylate administered biweekly at 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously for the treatment of participants with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer previously treated with 2 to 5 chemotherapy regimens. The study will be conducted in 3 Phases: a Pretreatment Phase (screening visit), a Treatment Phase (starting with Cycle 1 Day 1), and a Posttreatment Phase (End of treatment visit and survival follow up). Participants may remain on study drug as long as they demonstrate clinical benefit or until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, or disease progression occurs, until the participant withdraws consent, or death.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Investigator Assessment	ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) measured by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions (a short diameter is less than [<] 10 millimeter [mm] if it exists in a lymph node). PR defined as at least 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the long diameter (LD) of all target lesions, as compared with Baseline summed LD.	From first dose of study drug until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until the participant withdrew consent (approximately up to 2.3 years)
Disease Control Rate (DCR) by Investigator Assessment	DCR was defined as the percentage of participants who had BOR of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) measured by RECIST 1.1. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions (a short diameter is <10 mm if it exists in a lymph node). PR defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of all target lesions, as compared with Baseline summed LD. SD defined as reduction in tumor volume of less than 50% or an increase in the volume of 1 or more measurable lesions of less than 25% without the appearance of any new lesions which was neither tumor shrinkage corresponding to PR nor tumor expansion corresponding to disease progression. SD must be achieved at greater than equal to (>=) 7 weeks after the first eribulin administration to be considered BOR.	From first dose of study drug until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until the participant withdrew consent (approximately up to 2.3 years)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) by Investigator Assessment	PFS was defined as the time from date of first dose of study drug to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.	From first dose of study drug until intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until the participant withdrew consent (approximately up to 2.3 years)
Overall Survival (OS)	OS was defined as the time from date of first dose of study drug until date of death from any cause.	From date of first dose of study drug administration until date of death from any cause (approximately up to 2.3 years)
Feasibility Rate	Feasibility rate is defined as the percentage of participants completing the first 2 and 4 cycles (1 cycle = 28 days) of eribulin mesylate treatment (4 and 8 doses) without requiring dose delay greater than (>) 5 days or reduction due to adverse event (AE).	Cycle 2 Day 28 and Cycle 4 Day 28 ( cycle length=28 days)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)		From first dose of study drug (Baseline) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 2.3 years)
