Popis: Background Radium-223 dichloride (Ra-223) is a therapeutic alpha particle-emitting radiopharmaceutical compound which have antitumor effect targeted on bone metastases. Alpha particles induces double strand DNA breaks and localized cytotoxic effect to cancer cells with limiting harm on normal tissues. We are conducting a phase II clinical trial of combination of Ra-223, hormonal therapy, and denosumab treatment in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive bone-dominant metastatic breast cancer (NCT02366130). In this preliminary analysis of the study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of this combination therapy. Methods This single-center phase II study seeks to determine the efficacy and safety of Ra-223 in combination with hormonal therapy and denosumab. Major eligibility criteria include HR-positive breast cancer with bone and/or marrow predominant metastases. Patients with two or more visceral metastases were not eligible. There was no limit in the number of prior hormonal therapies in the metastatic setting. Patients received Ra-223 injection (55 kBq/kg intravenously) on day 1 of the study and then every 4 weeks thereafter for 6 cycles. Patients were also administered a single hormonal agent (i.e., tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor, or fulvestrant at standard doses) daily and denosumab (120 mg subcutaneously) every 4 weeks. For this analysis, adverse events (AEs) were summarized using descriptive statistics. Results A total of 25 patients were enrolled and 22 were evaluable between March 2015 and December 2016. Median age was 58.5 years (range 31-79), and 59% of patients were postmenopausal. ECOG performance status was 0 in 16 patients (73%), and 1 in six patients (27%). HER2/neu was positive in only one patient. Four patients (18%) were de novo metastasis, no patients had visceral metastasis, and multiple bone metastases in 20 patients (91%) vs. focal metastasis in 2 (9%). Median time from diagnosis of bone metastasis was 4.8 months (range 0.5-96.6). Prior therapy for metastatic disease consisted of hormonal therapy in 50% of the patients (eight patients with one line and three patients with two lines), chemotherapy (9%), palbociclib (14%), radiation to bone metastasis (50%), and bone-supportive therapy (27% with zoledronic acid, 27% with denosumab). The median number of cycles of Ra-223 administered was 6 (range 4-6). The median follow-up time was 4 months (range 2-8). There were no grade 3 or 4 AEs. Major non-hematological grade 1 and 2 AEs were bone pain (77%), fatigue (45%), nausea (36%), diarrhea (32%), AST/ALT elevation (23%), hot flashes (23%), and headache (18%). The most common hematological AEs were grade 1 or 2 neutropenia (23%), anemia (14%), and thrombocytopenia (18%). There was no treatment delay or discontinuation due to AEs. Conclusion Our results suggest that the addition of Ra-223 to hormonal therapy and denosumab is a feasible and safe combination therapy in patients with HR-positive breast cancer with bone-dominant metastasis. We continue to enroll patients in the phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment.
