A Study of Single-Agent Eribulin Mesylate as First-Line Therapy for Locally Recurrent or Metastatic Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Two (HER2) Negative Breast Cancer

A Phase 2, Multicenter, Single-Arm Study of Single-Agent Eribulin Mesylate as First-Line Therapy for Locally Recurrent or Metastatic Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Two (HER2) Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of single-agent eribulin mesylate for first-line treatment of subjects with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

This is a multicenter, single-arm, Phase 2 trial to assess the efficacy and safety of single-agent eribulin mesylate for first-line treatment of subjects with locally recurrent or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-negative breast cancer. A total of 52 adult female subjects will be enrolled and treated with eribulin mesylate (1.4 mg/m2 as an intravenous [i.v.] infusion over 2 to 5 minutes on Days 1 and 8 of each 3-week cycle).
