The original article has been updated.

There is an error in result section of abstract. The correct sentence read as “Among the 49.9% of patients with TNBC, ORR was 55.1%, median PFS was 5.8 months (95% CI 5.1, 6.4), and median OS was 9.8 months (95% CI 8.6, 11.0)”.

There is an error in second paragraph of Duration of Eribulin Therapy. The correct sentence read as “Following discontinuation of eribulin, 175 (34.1%) of all patients and 99 (38.7%) of TNBC patients initiated another line of therapy”.

There is an error in the section Disease Response. The correct sentence read as “In the overall population, ORR was 54.4% (95% CI 50.0–58.7%) (Fig. 1). The CBR was 56.7% (95% CI 52.3–61.0%). A total of 41 patients (8.0%) had a CR, 238 (46.4%) had a PR, 88 (17.2%) had SD and 146 (28.5%) had PD”.

The duration of best response among the 261 patients with a CR or PR and known dates of initial response and progression was a median of 4.5 months (IQR 2.9, 7.1).

For patients in the TNBC subgroup, ORR was 55.1% (95% CI 48.8–61.2%) (Fig. 1). The CBR was 57.4% (95% CI: 51.1–63.5%).

At the time of data cut-off, 402 (78.4%) patients, including 219 (85.5%) in the TNBC subgroup, had progressed on eribulin therapy. The landmark PFS is presented in Fig. 2.

The landmark OS is presented in Fig. 4. At the 12-month landmark, 43.9% (95% CI 39.6–48.2%) of patients were alive in the overall population, while at the 24-month landmark, 23.9% (95% CI 20.2–27.7%) were alive (Fig. 4).

The figure 1 was incorrectly published. The correct Fig. 1 is given below.
