dc.description.abstractBackground Circulating tumor cells (CTC) are associated with clinical outcome in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We explored the ability of early CTC monitoring (after 2 cycles) for predicting clinical benefit (CB), overall response rate (ORR) and outcome in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with HER-2 negative MBC receiving first-line treatment with bevacizumab and paclitaxel. Methods Multicenter prospective observational study. Centralized CTC determination was performed at baseline (C0) and after cycle 2 (C2) using CellSearch. A cutoff of 5 CTCs/7.5ml was used to stratify pts into treatment-sensitive (<5 CTCs) and resistant (≥5 CTCs). The optimal CTC level cutoff for predicting CB and PFS was assessed using ROC curves. Results 111 pts were enrolled: median age: 54 years; ECOG 0/1: 50.5/39.6%; triple-negative: 29%; metastatic sites (median): 3; metastases location: liver (62%), bone (58%), lung (40%). The clinical benefit rate (CBR), ORR, and median PFS for the whole cohort were 65%, 41%, and 16.6 months, respectively. With a median follow-up of 17.5 months, the median OS was not achieved. At C0, 43/87 (49%) and 44/87 (50.6%) pts presented with <5 and ≥5 CTCs, respectively. The CTC level after C2 was in 73/85 (86%) and 12/85 (14%) pts <5 and ≥5, respectively. Among pts with CTCs ≥5 at C0, 78% had <5 CTCs after C2. The CTC level after C2 was predictive for CBR (73% vs 59%, p=0,046), ORR (48% vs 17%, p=0.043), and PFS (17 vs. 5 months, p=0.026). Median OS was 13 months in pts with ≥5 CTCs after C2 and it was not achieved in pts with <5 CTCs (p <0.001). A cutoff point of 1 CTC after C2 yielded 65% sensitivity and 61% specificity for prediction of PFS (p=0.021). Pts with 0 CTC achieved a significantly longer PFS vs. those with at least 1 CTC after 2 cycles (22.6 vs. 8.1 months; p=0.005). Grade 3-4 toxicity rate (39%) was not significantly different according to CTCs after 2 cycles (p =0.531). Conclusions CTC monitoring after 2 cycles of first-line bevacizumab-paclitaxel treatment may predict tumor response and clinical outcome in terms of PFS and OS in HER-2 negative MBC.es
