Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the antitumor activity and pharmacodynamic/biologic effect of gefitinib 500 mg/day monotherapy in patients with previously treated, advanced breast cancer. Methods: In this phase II multicenter trial, the primary objective was assessment of the tumor response rate with gefitinib; secondary objectives included analysis of the pharmacodynamic and biologic profiles in healthy and tumor tissue. Results: Of 31 assessable patients, 12 (38.7%) had stable disease, including 3 (9.7%) with recurrent breast cancer that stabilized for ≥ 6 months. No complete or partial responses were observed. Pretreatment tumor samples were available in all patients. In addition, paired baseline and on-treatment (day 28) assessable skin and tumor biopsies were available in 27 and 16 patients, respectively. Sequential immunohistochemical studies in skin and tumor biopsies demonstrated complete inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation in both healthy and malignant tissues. The downstream consequences of receptor blockade were distinct in skin and tumor samples: while phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase was inhibited in both tissues, gefitinib treatment induced p27 and a decrease in Ki67 in skin but not in tumors. Furthermore, gefitinib did not inhibit the activated form of Akt in the tumors. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a good correlation between the degree of inhibition of EGFR in skin and in breast tumors. The lack of significant clinical activity of gefitinib in our study population is not due to lack of receptor inhibition in these tumors but rather to lack of EGFR dependence in the tested population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
