Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of neratinib-based therapy in Asian patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients & methods: We performed a pooled analysis of seven early-phase studies of neratinib given either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents or trastuzumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. Results: A total of 793 patients with HER2-positive MBC were included in the efficacy analysis (Asia: 271 patients; other regions: 522 patients). The overall response rate in patients from Asia was 66.4% (180/271) and the median progression-free survival was 55.6 weeks. The most common adverse event in patients from Asia was diarrhea (all-grade: 96.3%; grade 3: 27.4%). Conclusion: Neratinib-based therapy is safe and effective in patients with HER2-positive MBC from Asia.
