Study Summary

Subjects are asked to take part in a clinical research study that tests Eribulin, a new drug. Eribulin is an investigational (experimental) anti-cancer agent that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with brain metastases. Eribulin is FDA approved for use in patients with metastatic breast cancer but the effect it may or may not have on brain metastases has not been studied.

Primary Outcome

The study team will assess the percent of participants without CNS progression at 3 months. The study team will generate a Kaplan- Meier curve of CNS PFS and estimate the PFS and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the PFS. Response and progression by MR were evaluated using WHO/modified McDonald's criteria.
