PurposeThis randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label, phase III study compared docetaxel versus paclitaxel in patients with advanced breast cancer that had progressed after an anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimen.Patients and MethodsPatients (n = 449) were randomly assigned to receive either docetaxel 100 mg/m2(n = 225) or paclitaxel 175 mg/m2(n = 224) on day 1, every 21 days until tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.ResultsIn the intent-to-treat population, both the median overall survival (OS, 15.4 v 12.7 months; hazard ratio [HR], 1.41; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.73; P = .03) and the median time to progression (TTP, 5.7 months v 3.6 months; HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.33 to 2.02; P < .0001) for docetaxel were significantly longer than for paclitaxel, and the overall response rate (ORR, 32% v 25%; P = .10) was higher for docetaxel. These results were confirmed by multivariate analyses. The incidence of treatment-related hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities was greater for docetaxel than for paclitaxel; however, quality-of-life scores were not statistically different between treatment groups over time.ConclusionDocetaxel was superior to paclitaxel in terms of OS and TTP. ORR was higher for docetaxel. Hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities occurred more frequently in the docetaxel group. The global quality-of-life scores were similar for both agents over time.

The Impact

Purpose Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) progression is associated with deterioration in quality of life (QoL). We assessed the impact of 177Lu-Dotatate treatment on time to deterioration in health-related QoL. Methods The NETTER-1 trial is an international phase III study in patients with midgut NETs. Patients were randomly assigned to treatment with 177Lu-Dotatate versus high-dose octreotide. European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality-of-life questionnaires QLQ C-30 and G.I.NET-21 were assessed during the trial to determine the impact of treatment on health-related QoL. Patients completed the questionnaires at baseline and every 12 weeks until tumor progression. QoL scores were converted to a 100-point scale according to European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer instructions, and individual changes from baseline scores were assessed. Time to QoL deterioration (TTD) was defined as the time from random assignment to the first QoL deterioration ≥ 10 points for each patient in the corresponding domain scale. All analyses were conducted on the intention-to-treat population. Patients with no deterioration were censored at the last QoL assessment date. Results TTD was significantly longer in the 177Lu-Dotatate arm (n = 117) versus the control arm (n = 114) for the following domains: global health status (hazard ratio [HR], 0.406), physical functioning (HR, 0.518), role functioning (HR, 0.580), fatigue (HR, 0.621), pain (HR, 0.566), diarrhea (HR, 0.473), disease-related worries (HR, 0.572), and body image (HR, 0.425). Differences in median TTD were clinically significant in several domains: 28.8 months versus 6.1 months for global health status, and 25.2 months versus 11.5 months for physical functioning. Conclusion This analysis from the NETTER-1 phase III study demonstrates that, in addition to improving progression-free survival, 177Lu-Dotatate provides a significant QoL benefit for patients with progressive midgut NETs compared with high-dose octreotide.

Aim: Examine safety and pharmacodynamics of patisiran alone or with concomitant transthyretin stabilizers from the Phase II open-label extension study and safety and efficacy of patisiran in patients with prior transthyretin stabilizer use from the Phase III APOLLO study. Patients & methods: Post hoc analyses in patients with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. Results: Patisiran safety was consistent regardless of concomitant or prior transthyretin stabilizers. In the Phase II open-label extension (n = 27), transthyretin reduction was similar over 24 months, regardless of concomitant transthyretin stabilizers. In APOLLO (n = 225), patisiran-treated groups showed stabilization or improvements in neurological function (modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7) and quality of life (Norfolk Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy questionnaire) at 18 months, regardless of prior transthyretin stabilizers. Conclusion: Patients benefit from patisiran regardless of transthyretin stabilizer use.
