Background: EZN-2208 is a water-soluble PEGylated conjugate of SN38. EZN-2208 results in prolonged exposure of tumors to SN38 via preferential accumulation of EZN-2208 in the tumor and prolonged release of SN38. These data represent the final analysis of our study evaluating EZN-2208 in MBC. Methods: EZN-2208 9 mg/m2 (SN38 equivalents) was delivered as a 60-minute IV infusion, weekly for 3 wks in 4‑wk cycles. The primary objective was to determine the overall response rate (RR) in female patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who had received prior adjuvant or metastatic therapy with either 1) anthracycline and taxane (AT) or 2) anthracycline, taxane, and capecitabine (ATX). Secondary objectives included evaluation of RR based on tumor receptor status, duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: Patients with MBC (n=164) were treated with a median (range) of 3.3 (0.3-22) cycles of EZN-2208. The objective response rate (RR) was 20% for AT and 9% for ATX. The clinical benefit rate (CBR=%CR + %PR + %SD ≥6 months) was 41% and 27% in patients in the AT and ATX cohorts, respectively. The RR and CBR among ER+ patients were 11% (10/91 pts) and 41.8% (38/91 pts). In patients who progressed during or within 30 days of prior platinum-containing regimens (Platinum Progressors), the CBR was 20% (8/40 pts). Among triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, the RR and CBR were 22.5% (11/49 pts) and 36.7% (18/49 pts). For TNBC, Platinum Progressors, the CBR was 26.1% (6/23 pts). Overall, most common reported drug-related adverse events were diarrhea, nausea and neutropenia. Conclusions: EZN-2208 has notable activity in patients with previously treated MBC and appears to be an active agent for treatment of TNBC. Patients with TNBC, who had been previously treated with a platinum-based regimen, also derive clinical benefit from EZN-2208. The safety profile of EZN-2208 is acceptable with good tolerability in most patients. Further evaluation of EZN-2208 in MBC in general and TNBC in particular is warranted.
