Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From date of first dose of study drug administration to date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years 11 months)

ORR was defined as percentage of participants with confirmed best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using independent imaging review (IIR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. BOR of CR and PR was confirmed by a subsequent CR assessment and CR or PR assessment, respectively at least 4 weeks later. CR: disappearance of all measurable, non-measurable lesions and no unequivocal new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD and there are no unequivocal new lesions, and no progression of non-target disease. The 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) calculated by Clopper-Pearson method. As planned, data up to the primary completion date only were analyzed.

Secondary Endpoints

Progression-free Survival (PFS)
From date of first dose of study drug administration to date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to 3 years 11 months)
Overall Survival (OS)
From date of first dose of study drug administration until date of death from any cause (up to 3 years 11 months)
Duration of Response (DOR)
From the date that a confirmed objective response (OR) was first documented to the date of PD or death due to any cause for those participants with a confirmed PR or CR (up to 3 years 11 months)

Frequently asked questions about Eribulin

What is Eribulin used for?

Eribulin is a small molecule being studied for the treatment of breast neoplasms, specifically in combination with pembrolizumab for participants with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). It is an investigational oncology drug currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

Who makes Eribulin?

Eribulin is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker symbol MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety in oncology indications.

What phase is Eribulin in?

Eribulin is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, with no active trials currently ongoing.

What clinical trials is Eribulin in?

Eribulin has been studied in one completed clinical trial, NCT02513472, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of eribulin mesylate in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The trial enrolled 258 participants in the United States.

Is Eribulin the same as Eribulin Mesylate?

Eribulin is the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and eribulin mesylate is the salt form used in the clinical trial. The trial NCT02513472 specifically tested eribulin mesylate in combination with pembrolizumab for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
