Systemic Therapies Following Progression on First-line CDK4/6-inhibitor Treatment: Analysis of Real-world Data.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (Her2-) breast cancer remains a significant cause of cancer-related mortality. First-line treatment with endocrine therapy (ET) with a cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) has largely become the standard systemic therapy. Following progression, no prospective randomized data exist to help guide second-line treatment.

Materials and methods

This study used a nationwide electronic health record (EHR)-derived de-identified database, specifically analyzing 1210 patients with HR+/Her2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who were treated in the first-line setting with a CDK4/6i from the years 2015-2020. The aim of this study was to assess what therapies were given after first-line progression on CDK4/6i and to observe treatment patterns over time. Determination of second-line treatment efficacy, specifically assessing real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) was performed.

Results

A total of 839 patients received a documented second-line therapy after progression on first-line CDK4/6i treatment. Chemotherapy was chosen for 29.7% of patients, and the use of chemotherapy decreased over time. Three hundred two (36.0%) of patients continued a CDK4/6i. Data were adjusted for age, race, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, stage at breast cancer diagnosis, and insurance payer type. Continuation of the CDK4/6i was associated with improved rwPFS (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.43-0.53, P < .0001) and OS (HR 0.30, 95% CI 0.26-0.35, P < .0001) compared to chemotherapy. A majority of these patients continued the same CDK4/6i in the second-line setting, as was given in the first-line setting.

Conclusion

While prospective data are needed, analysis of real-world data suggests a survival benefit for continuation of a CDK4/6i beyond frontline progression for patients with HR+/Her2- MBC.
