A phase II, single-arm, feasibility study of dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by eribulin mesylate for the adjuvant treatment of early-stage breast cancer (EBC).

2017 
TPS1145 Background: Randomized trials have confirmed the benefit of the combination of an anthracycline (A) and cyclophosphamide (C) for the adjuvant treatment of EBC. The addition of taxane therapy to AC therapy has further improved survival. Despite the improvement in adjuvant therapies for BC, new approaches for improving outcomes are of significant importance and may involve developing improved combination regimens. Eribulin mesylate has demonstrated antitumor activity and significant improvement in overall survival (OS) in patients with heavily pretreated locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and may improve outcomes in EBC as well. Methods: This study will determine the feasibility of eribulin as adjuvant therapy following dose-dense AC for HER2 normal EBC. A completion rate of >80% was set as a threshold for feasibility as established adjuvant regimens have shown feasibility rates ranging from ~65% for trastuzumab to >80%. This is a phase 2, single-center, feasibility study of dose-den...
