The OlympiAD Phase III study (NCT02000622) established the clinical benefits of olaparib tablet monotherapy (300 mg twice daily) over chemotherapy treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in patients with a germline BRCA1/2 mutation (gBRCAm) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer who had received ≤2 chemotherapy lines in the metastatic setting. Here, we report pre-specified analyses of data from Asian (China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan) patients in the study. All patients were randomized 2:1 to olaparib tablets (300 mg twice daily) or single-agent chemotherapy TPC (21-day cycles of either capecitabine, eribulin or vinorelbine). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival assessed by blinded independent central review. The prevalence of gBRCAm in the OlympiAD Asian subgroup screened for study recruitment was 13.5%. Patient demographics and disease characteristics of the Asian subgroup (87/302 patients) were generally well balanced between treatment arms. Asian patients in the olaparib arm achieved longer median progression-free survival, assessed by blinded independent central review, versus the chemotherapy TPC arm (5.7 vs 4.2 months; HR = 0.53 [95% CI: 0.29-0.97]), which was consistent with findings in the global OlympiAD study population. Findings on secondary efficacy and safety/tolerability outcome measures in Asian patients were also similar to those observed in the global OlympiAD study population. The OlympiAD study was not powered to detect race-related differences between treatment groups; however, the consistency of our findings with the global OlympiAD study population suggests that previously reported findings are generalizable to Asian patients.

To evaluate the effect of renal impairment on eribulin mesylate pharmacokinetics following a single dose in adults with advanced solid tumors.. Patients were grouped by renal function: moderate impairment (creatinine clearance [CrCl] 30-50 mL/min), severe impairment (CrCl 15-29 mL/min), or normal (CrCl ≥80 mL/min). During each 21-day cycle, eribulin mesylate doses (days 1 and 8) were administered intravenously: moderate, 1.1 mg/m(2) (except cycle 1 day 1, 1.4 mg/m(2)); severe, 0.7 mg/m(2); normal, 1.4 mg/m(2).. Nineteen patients were enrolled (normal, n = 6; moderate, n = 7; severe, n = 6). Renal impairment was associated with an increased mean dose-normalized area under the concentration-time curve (ratios for moderate/normal and severe/normal: 1.49; 90 % confidence interval [CI] 0.9, 2.45). CrCl and renal function correlated positively, with a numerically small slope (0.0184; 90 % CI -0.00254, 0.0394). A simulated dose reduction to eribulin 1.1 mg/m(2) in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment achieved the same exposure as 1.4 mg/m(2) in those with normal renal function. All groups had similar toxicity profiles, with no unexpected adverse events.. Renal impairment decreased eribulin clearance and increased exposure. Pharmacokinetic evaluation supports an eribulin dose reduction to 1.1 mg/m(2) in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment. CLINICALTRIALS.. NCT01418677.
