This study evaluates safety and efficacy of NPLD (Nudoxa®) in Indian pts, and is being conducted in two parts. We report Part A of study that aimed to determine overall response rate (ORR) to Nudoxa® (60 and 70 mg/m 2 ) in target lesions of MBC using RECIST criteria. Part B of the study is ongoing and will evaluate selected dose of Nudoxa® in determining its safety and efficacy in treatment of MBC compared to conventional doxorubicin. Female pts aged ≥18 years with ECOG status ≤2, histologically confirmed MBC with at least one measurable lesion as determined by RECIST criteria and life expectancy of minimum 6 months were included. Pts were randomized in 1:1 to 60 mg/m 2 (n= 7) or 70 mg/m 2 (n= 6) of Nudoxa®. The ORR was evaluated as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in target lesions. In 70 mg/m 2 and 60 mg/m 2 group, the ORR (target lesions) was 66% (4/6) and 16% (1/6), respectively (Table). All adverse events were resolved with or without treatment. No death, cardiotoxicity, and hand-foot syndrome (Palmer Planter Erythrodysesthesia) were reported. Nudoxa® at 70 mg/m2 appeared more effective than 60 mg/m2 with ORR as primary endpoint. This dose is being evaluated in Part B of study in 70 MBC pts in comparison with 70 mg/m2 conventional doxorubicin.
