CAELYX CLINICAL TRIALS Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC). Clinical Benefits of CAELYX in Breast Cancer. Anthracycline with cardiac sparing effect Significantly reduced risk of cardiotoxicity Preserves cardiac function for patients who can benefit from long-term anthracycline therapy
E N D
Clinical Benefits of CAELYX in Breast Cancer • Anthracycline with cardiac sparing effect • Significantly reduced risk of cardiotoxicity • Preserves cardiac function for patients who can benefit from long-term anthracycline therapy • Comparable efficacy vs conventional doxorubicin • Clinical evidence demonstrates improved safety profile: Lower incidence: Higher incidence: • Nausea/vomiting – Hand-foot syndrome • Alopecia (HFS) • Myelosuppression – Stomatitis • Cardiotoxicity
CAELYX – Current Indications • Monotherapy for MBC in patients who are at increased cardiac risk • Several studies demonstrating antitumor activity and acceptable tolerability in MBC and LABC • Advanced ovarian cancer in women who have failed a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimen • AIDS-related KS in patients with low CD4 counts (<200 CD4 lymphocytes/mm3) and extensive mucocutaneous or visceral disease
CAELYX in Breast Cancer: Target Populations • Rechallenge(eg, 1st-line treatment of MBC that responded to an anthracycline-containing regimen in adjuvant setting) • Combination therapy with trastuzumab • Patients with cardiovascular risk factors(eg, patients who present with hypertension, prior mediastinal irradiation, or a history of heart disease) • Elderly patients • Patients for whom the risk of specific toxicities are of significant concern(eg, alopecia, myelosuppression, N/V)
CAELYX Monotherapy • Sequential single-agent chemotherapy represents a reasonable option for patients with MBC • Monotherapy or sequential single-agent chemotherapy may be especially suitable for: • Elderly or patients with poorer performance status • Those unable to tolerate the toxicity ofcombination therapy • Patients with slowly growing tumors

Cardiac Toxicity • Defined per protocol as a decrease in LVEF of ≥ 15 points from baseline or a ≥ 5-point decrease from baseline if level is below LLN for the institution • LVEF changes assessed only in patients receiving CAELYX • 22 patients had LVEF changes consistent with protocol-defined cardiac toxicity • No correlation with cumulative anthracycline dose • 4 patients dc’d drug due to LVEF decrease • No patient developed clinical CHF
Study Conclusions • CAELYX demonstrates activity in MBC after taxane failure: • PFS: 2.9 months (vs 2.5 months comparator) • OS: 11.0 months (vs 9.0 months comparator) • CAELYX has comparable efficacy to vinorelbine/mitomycin for MBC refractory to taxane-based therapies • q 4 wk CAELYX = q wk vinorelbine administration • CAELYX represents a therapeutic option for pts with heavily pretreated, taxane-refractory MBC Keller et al. J Clin Oncol. 2004;22:3893-3901.
Rationale for CAELYX Combinations • Preclinical synergy • Non-overlapping mechanisms/toxicities • Polychemotherapy, in particular with taxane-anthracycline-based regimens, is especially suitable for patients with: • Life-threatening disease • Symptomatic visceral metastatic disease • Quickly growing tumors • Ability to tolerate the toxicity of combination therapy
