Halaven (賀樂維/ Eribulin) :德国药物评估IQWiG 見解!

抗乳腺癌新药Eribulin的疗效尚存争议 发布时间:2012-8-26 21:13:12 Eribulin(商品名为Halaven)是新型的局限性晚期或转移性乳癌治疗药物,20113月上市。根据"医药产品市场的改革法案"(AMNOG),德国药物评估局(IQWiG)将Eribulin药物疗法与目前的标准疗法相比,是否能使患者受益更多进行了审核。评估结果显示:现有证据表明乳癌患者若不适合使用紫杉烷类或蒽环类药物,使用Eribulin可能延长患者的生存时间。然而,Eribulin具体能够让患者生存期延长多久,目前还不得而知。与一直使用紫杉烷类或蒽环类药物治疗的患者相比,使用Eribulin没有任何的生存优势。总的来说,无证据表明增加Eribulin使乳腺癌患者受益。

乳癌第三線希望_海洋來源藥物: Halaven (賀樂維/ Eribulin)

201011FDA批准上市新药甲磺酸艾日布林(eribulin mesylate 2010-12-15 20:10:36 来源:有机化学网 1115,美国食品药品管理局(FDA)批准Halaven用于治疗至少已接受过两次晚期疾病化疗的转移性乳腺癌患者。 Halaven是一种从海洋生物海绵Halichondriaokadai中提取的大环内酯类化合物halichondrinB的衍生物,是一种具有化学活性的物质。其作用机理可能是通过直接与微管蛋白结合抑制有丝分裂,通过抑制微管生长,抑制癌细胞生长而发挥治疗作用。在接受Halaven治疗之前,患者应首先接受蒽环类以及针对早期或晚期乳腺癌的基于紫杉烷的化学疗法。

Halaven (賀樂維/ Eribulin) 拼 肺癌(NSCLC)適應症 (僵局 !)

Eribulin在一项晚期非小细胞肺癌研究中失败 作者:王丽wl 来源:医脉通 发布时间:2014-08-14 11:23:18一项初步分析表明,甲磺酸艾日布林(Haloven)未能达到其改善预治疗的晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者总生存期(OS)的终点指标,甲磺酸eribulin的研发者Eisai宣布。研究详情  302研究是一项全球性,多中心,随机,开放标签III期试验,对eribulin(艾日布林)的疗效和安全性进行了研究,并与单一治疗医师选择(TPC)药物(包括多西他赛,培美曲塞,吉西他滨或长春瑞滨)进行了比较。"我们知道,非小细胞肺癌是一种难治性肿瘤类型,除了之前的两个治疗方案外,目前尚无公认的标准化疗方案,仍存在远未满足的医疗需求。" Eisai产品研发系统肿瘤产品研发部主任,Kenichi Nomoto博士在一份声明中说。"在这项研究中,虽然与TPC相比,eribulin没有显示出OS方面的改善,但试验表明,eribulin在至少进行2种治疗方案治疗的晚期NSCLC患者身上表现出抗癌活性,进一步的分析正在进行中。这些结果不会影响当前Halaven适应症的审批。"  这项研究共对540例晚期非小细胞肺癌患者进行了研究,这些患者在至少进行2种治疗方案(其中包括一种含铂治疗方案)治疗晚期疾病后仍出现疾病进展。据初步分析,两组中位OS9.5个月(HR=1.16P =0.1343)。初步安全性分析表明,eribulin组最常见的不良反应是食欲减退,白细胞减少,脱发,恶心和疲劳,这与eribulin已知的安全性一致。Eisai宣布,该研究的完整结果将在未来会议上公布。  研究人员进行了一项II期研究,对采用含铂双药化疗治疗期间或治疗后出现疾病进展的晚期非小细胞肺癌患者应用eribulin治疗。研究发现,eribulin具有活性,且可耐受,可作为非小细胞肺癌的二线或以上的化疗。在这项研究中,两组患者(紫杉类预治疗和紫杉类药物初治)接受了甲磺酸eribulin1.4mg /m2)治疗,2-5分钟静脉滴注,1815天给药一次,28天为一疗程。为了评估第二给药方案的耐受性,紫杉类预治疗患者在18天(21天为一疗程)接受eribulin治疗。根据研究结果,103例患者接受eribulin治疗,ORR 9.7%(所有部分缓解[PR])。缓解中位时间,无进展生存期和总生存期分别为5.83.4,和9.4个月。该研究中最常见的治疗相关不良事件为中性粒细胞减少(54%),疲劳(49%),恶心(38%),脱发(32%)贫血(29%),和神经病变(23%)。因中性粒细胞减少(15天),28天一疗程出现许多剂量延迟,中断,或遗漏,而21天一疗程的耐受性良好。Eribulin是首个大田软海绵素类微管动力学抑制剂,具有新型作用机制。201011月,在美国首个获批用于治疗转移性乳腺癌。Eribulin还正在研究用于治疗卵巢癌,尿路上皮癌和骨肉瘤。  编译自:Eribulin Does Not Improve OS in Advanced NSCLC.

英國NICE 對 Halaven (賀樂維/ Eribulin) 持保留態度 !!! 捷克 OK !

NICE final "no" to Halaven UK NEWS | APRIL 03, 2012 5  LYNNE TAYLOR In final guidance issued today, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has rejected the use of Eisai's Halaven (eribulin) in locally-advanced or metatastic breast cancer which has progressed after at least two chemotherapeutic regimens for advanced disease. Evidence presented to NICE's independent advisory committee indicated that the drug may help some patients live for a little longer, but it also caused more undesirable side effects than other, already-available treatments, and the panel also felt that its effects on health-related quality of life had not been adequately assessed, said NICE's executive director, Sir Andrew Dillon. Hatfield, UK, 6 January 2014 – Halaven® (eribulin) has received reimbursement approval in the Czech Republic as a highly innovative drug for patients with metastatic breast cancer, effective from the 1 January 2014. Eribulin is the first, single-agent chemotherapy to demonstrate a prolonged overall survival in patients with heavily pre-treated advanced breast cancer, compared to other single agent chemotherapies.[1]  "The reimbursement of eribulin in the Czech Republic is an important step forward for women with metastatic breast cancer," says Professor MUDr. Bohuslav Melichar, PhD, the Scientific Secretary of the Czech Society for Oncology. "These patients urgently need new treatment options and in particular, therapies which have demonstrated an overall survival benefit in heavily pre-treated patients. The advent of eribulin will be welcomed by patients and doctors across the country."  Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Czech women and accounts for nearly 25% of all newly diagnosed malignancies in the female population.[2] More than 6,400 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the Czech Republic[3] and metastatic disease will develop in approximately 30% of cases.  "Metastatic breast cancer continues to affect many women across Europe. We are pleased that the Czech health authorities recognise the innovative drug status and clinical value eribulin may offer to women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer," commented MUDr, Miloš Živanský, Medical Director of CEE in Eisai. "The reimbursement in the Czech Republic underscores the potential importance of this treatment and Eisai will work closely with local health authorities to ensure that women in the Czech Republic have rapid access to a treatment that has a proven overall survival benefit."  Eribulin received European Commission approval on 17 March 2011 based on the results of the pivotal Phase III EMBRACE (Eisai Metastatic Breast Cancer Study Assessing Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) Versus Eribulin E7389) study. Eribulin is now available in 50 countries worldwide.  In the EMBRACE study population (n=762), eribulin was shown to prolong overall survival in heavily pre-treated patients with metastatic breast cancer by 2.5 months compared to patients receiving Treatment of Physicians Choice (TPC), representing a mix of real-life treatment choices (eribulin 13.1 months vs. TPC 10.6 months, HR 0.81 (95% CI 0.66, 0.99) p=0.041).[4] Updated data confirmed that patients treated with eribulin survived a median of 2.7 months longer than patients who received treatment of physician's choice (overall survival of 13.2 months versus 10.5 months, respectively, HR 0.81 (95% CI 0.067, 0.96), nominal p=0.014).4 A pre-planned analysis of patients from Region 1 of the study (North America/Western Europe/Australia) showed a significant overall survival benefit of eribulin over TPC of 3.0 months (p=0.009).4  The most commonly reported adverse reactions among patients treated with eribulin were asthenia (fatigue), neutropenia, alopecia (hair loss), peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in arms and legs), nausea and constipation.4  Eisai is committed to developing and delivering highly beneficial new treatments to help improve the lives of people with cancer. Built on scientific expertise, Eisai is supported by a global capability to conduct discovery and preclinical research, and develop small molecules, therapeutic vaccines, and biologic and supportive care agents for cancer across multiple indications. 

Halaven® (eribulin)  Eribulin is a non-taxane, microtubule dynamics inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with breast cancer who have previously received at least two chemotherapeutic regimens for metastatic disease and whose prior therapy should have included an anthracycline and a taxane. Eribulin belongs to a class of antineoplastic agents, the halichondrins, which are natural products, isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai. It is believed to work by inhibiting the growth phase of microtubule dynamics without affecting the shortening phase and sequesters tubulin into non-productive aggregates. 

Global Phase III Clinical Study 305 (EMBRACE)4  EMBRACE (Eisai Metastatic Breast Cancer Study Assessing Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) Versus Eribulin E7389) was an open-label, randomised, global, multi-centre, parallel two-arm study designed to compare overall survival in patients treated with eribulin versus a Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) arm. TPC was defined as any single-agent chemotherapy, hormonal treatment or biologic therapy approved for the treatment of cancer; or palliative treatment or radiotherapy administered according to local practice. The study included 762 patients with metastatic breast cancer who previously had been treated with at least two and a maximum of five prior chemotherapies, including an anthracycline and a taxane. The vast majority (96%) of patients in the TPC arm received chemotherapy.  In the total Phase III EMBRACE study population, eribulin was shown to prolong median overall survival in heavily pre-treated patients with metastatic breast cancer compared to patients receiving TPC by 2.7 months (13.2 vs 10.5 HR 0.81 (95% CI 0.067, 0.96) nominal p=0.014). A pre-planned analysis of patients from Region 1 of the study (North America/Western Europe/Australia) showed a significant median overall survival benefit of eribulin over TPC of 3.0 months (nominal p=0.031).  The most commonly reported adverse reactions among patients treated with eribulin in the EMBRACE study were fatigue (asthenia), a decrease in infection-fighting white blood cells (neutropaenia), hair loss (alopecia), numbness and tingling in arms and legs (peripheral neuropathy), nausea and constipation. Peripheral neuropathy was the most common adverse event leading to discontinuation from eribulin, occurring in less than 5% of the patients involved in the EMBRACE trial. Neutropaenia only led to eribulin discontinuation for 0.6% patients. Death due to serious side effects, discontinuation and dose interruptions to treatment were lower in the eribulin arm of the trial compared with the TPC arm. 

Metastatic Breast Cancer Over 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Europe every year, of whom about one third subsequently develop metastatic disease.[5],[6] Metastatic disease is an advanced stage of the disease that occurs when cancer spreads beyond the breast to other parts of the body.
