Fulvestrant plus palbociclib in advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer after fulvestrant monotherapy: Japan Breast Cancer Research Group-M07 (FUTURE trial).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The combination of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and endocrine therapy is a standard treatment for hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC); however, their toxicities and financial burden are major issues, especially for prolonged treatment. We investigated fulvestrant plus palbociclib in patients with HR-positive MBC resistant to fulvestrant monotherapy.

Methods

Patients who initially received fulvestrant as their first- or second-line endocrine therapy were assigned to group A. Patients with disease progression during fulvestrant monotherapy who subsequently received fulvestrant plus palbociclib were assigned to group B. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS1) i
