Eribulin in HER2 Negative Metastatic BrCa
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer
In brief
Improvements in outcomes with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have been observed in the last 30 years, however, overall prognosis remains poor with median survival of 2 to 3 years. Long term complete responses are observed only for a minority of MBC patients (2-5%) and MBC remains an incurable disease for most patients. Eribulin is a chemotherapy approved by the US FDA in November of 2010 to treat patients with MBC who have received at least two prior chemotherapy regimens. In this research study, the investigators are looking to see how well eribulin helps participants with MBC in an earlier-line setting. Eribulin works by interfering with cancer cell division, growth and spread.
