Aim. The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of eribulin in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC) in Russian clinical practice. Materials and methods. The analysis included 459 patients with advanced BC from 44 federal and municipal medical clinics in Russia and received at least 2 courses of treatment with eribulin in accordance with the registered indications for drug. The average age of women was 56 years (between 29 and 81 years), 83% of patients had HER2-negative tumor subtype (49.9% - luminal BC and 33.1% - triple-negative BC) HER2-positive biological tumor subtype was registered in 17% of patients. Visceral metastases were diagnosed in 73% of patients and three-zone and multiple zone metastases were diagnosed in 41.6% of cases. The median number of prior lines of therapy in patients with disseminated disease was 2; anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy was applied in 94.3% of patients, and 38.1% of patients were recived CT plus capecitabine. Standard treatment regimen with eribulin was cotinuing (1.4 mg/m² as a 2-5-minute intravenous infusion administrated on days 1, 8 of a 21-day cycle) until disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or impossibility of the drug administration for any other reason. We estimated the efficacy and safety of treatment with eribulin in Russian patients with HER2-negative BC. Results. Objective response rate was achieved in 20.5% of cases, complete response rate was in 3.2%, partial - 17.3%, and the stable disease rate was marked in 52.7% of women, and in 19.7% of these cases was prolonged more than 6 months. The frequency of objective response was higher in luminal BC group compared with triple-negative BC: 23.5% vs 15.8%; tumor growth control 76.9% vs. 67.8%, respectively; p

Background and aims. There is no data on olaparib efficacy and safety in Russian routine clinical practice. Methods. We analysed the 30 consecutive patients who received maintenance olaparib treatment for platinum-sensitive relapse (PSR) of ovarian or fallopian tube cancer in Russian Cancer Centers. Patients were prescribed olaparib capsules 400 mg twice daily. Radiographic assessments were done every 8 weeks. Patient characteristics. Age median 55 (range 39-68); 26 (86,6%) patients had gBRCA1, 2 (6,6%) patients had sBRCA1, 2 (6,6%) patients had gBRCA2. Number of relapse: median 1 (range 1-10), number of lines of chemotherapy: median 2 (range 2-11). Last regimen of chemotherapy: taxane + platinum (± bevacizumab) 90% (27/30), platinum monotherapy 10% (3/30). Best response to the last chemotherapy complete response 43,3% (13/30), partial response 36,7% (11/30), stable disease 20% (6/30). Results. Median follow-up in 13 CR patients was 12 mos. 1 CR patient progressed after 9 mos of maintenance olaparib. Median follow-up in 11 PR patients was 7 mos. 3 PR patients achieved CR on olaparib. 1 PR patient progressed after 6 mos of olaparib maintenance. Median follow-up in SD patients was 12 mos. 1 SD patient achieved PR on olaparib, there were no progressions. 10 (30%) patients had adverse events (AEs). 1 patient had grade 3 AE and 2 patients had AEs leading to dose reduction. There were no grade 4 AEs. Conclusions. Olaparib is safe and effective maintenance treatment of PSR ovarian cancer in routine clinical settings.

Aim. Eribulin is an active cytostatic, associated with a wide range of mechanisms of antitumor effects, but eribulin efficiency and safety in patients with breast cancer (BC), associated with cerebral metastases are still poorly understood. Materials and methods. We analyzed the combined Russian experience of eribulin application in BC patients associated with brain metastases; the analysis included 459 Russian women with advanced BC who had received at least 2 course of eribulin during the period from 2014 to 2018; 35 of 459 patients had brain metastases (40.0% - luminal HER2-negative subtype, 31.4% - triple negative subtype and 28.6%h - HER2-positive BC). The median age was 52 years (39 - 80 years of age). In most cases, the patient had two or more metastatic brain lesions (68.6%; the median was - 3); brain radiotherapy was used in 62.8% of patients before eribulin treatment and in 5.8% of patients was held stereotactic radiation therapy during eribulin chemotherapy. We analyzed the efficiency of eribulin application (the therapy continued until disease progression, the development of unacceptable toxicity, or impossibility to apply the drug for any other reason). Results. The results showed that clinical efficacy (objective response rate + stabilization of disease lasting for more than 6 months) was 48.6%: partial response - in 20% of patients and stabilization of disease - 62.9%; tumor growth control was in 82.9%. Median PFS in all group of patients with brain metastases was 4.1 months and was similar to median PFS in patients who received radiotherapy before eribulin treatment or without eribulin - 4.1 vs 3.47 months; p=0.798. Conclusions. The application of eribulin in BC patients with brain metastasis are absolutely justified, the drug demonstrates the efficiency in a retrospective analysis in a Russian population. The determination of the optimal algorithm for the treatment of patients with metastatic BC associated with brain metastasis requires a multidisciplinary approach and further research.
