Abstract
Aim: We conducted a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials to compare the effectiveness and safety of eribulin versus paclitaxel for patients with breast cancer.
Methods: We systematically searched multiple databases including Cochrane, PubMed, Medline, and Embase. The primary outcomes analyzed were overall survival (OS), complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and adverse events (AEs). These outcomes were evaluated using RevMan5.3 software.
Results: A total of 5 studies were included in the analysis. Compared to paclitaxel plus other chemotherapy drugs, eribulin plus other chemotherapy drugs not only extended the overall survival of patients but also improved the disease control rate (DCR) [risk ratio (RR) 0.98, (95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.70, 1.38), p = 0.92]. Hematological system diseases [RR 1.18 (95% CI: 1.07, 1.31), p = 0.002] were the most frequently observed adverse event with eribulin, while paclitaxel was more likely to cause nervous system lesion [RR 0.66 (95% CI: 0.54, 0.80), p < 0.0001].
Conclusion: Compared with paclitaxel plus other chemotherapy drugs, eribulin plus other chemotherapy drugs can also prolong the PFS and OS of BC patients. Our recommendation is to use eribulin plus other chemotherapy drugs to treat advanced BC and to continuously monitor and manage the drug-related adverse events.
