The present study evaluated the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and tolerability of combining capecitabine and everolimus as therapy for metastatic HER2L breast cancer. We enrolled 18 patients and determined the maximum tolerated dose to be 7.5 mg for everolimus and 825 mg/m2 for capecitabine. Overall, the combination was well tolerated, and an encouraging efficacy signal was noted. Background: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is a driver of breast tumorigenesis. The mTOR inhibitor everolimus reverses antihormonal therapy resistance and is an approved therapy for metastatic breast cancer. A synergistic effect with fluoropyrimidine has been suggested. The present study evaluated the safety and tolerability of an all-oral combination of everolimus and capecitabine for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients and Methods: MBC patients naive to capecitabine and mTOR inhibitors who had received <= 3 previous chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic setting were eligible for the present study. The patients were scheduled to receive capecitabine 825 mg/m(2) twice daily for 14 days in a 21-day cycle, combined with everolimus in 5 separate dose cohorts: 2.5 mg every other day, 2.5 mg daily, 5 mg daily, 7.5 mg daily, and 10 mg daily. A 3+3 design was used. The maximum tolerated dose was based on the dose-limiting toxicity of everolimus plus capecitabine. Results: A total of 18 patients were enrolled in the present trial. The median age was 58 years. Most had received previous anthracycline (83%) and taxane (94%) therapy. The maximum tolerated dose was everolimus 7.5 mg daily and capecitabine 825 mg/ m2. The incidence of grade 3 events was low and mainly hematologic in nature. One incident each of grade 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hyperglycemia, and mucositis occurred. No grade 5 events occurred. The clinical benefit rate was 50%. The median progression-free survival was 196 days, and the median overall survival was 569 days. Conclusion: The all-oral regimen of everolimus with capecitabine is active and well tolerated, with encouraging results for progression-free survival, overall survival, and clinical benefit rate in patients with MBC.
