Determinants of response to CDK4/6 inhibitors in the real-world setting.

ABSTRACT: Despite widespread use and a known mechanism of action for CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy, features of disease evolution and determinants of therapeutic response in the real-world setting remain unclear. Here, a cohort of patients treated with standard-of-care combination regimens was utilized to explore features of disease and determinants of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In this cohort of 280 patients, >90% of patients were treated with palbociclib in combination with either an aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant (FUL). Most of these patients had modified Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) scores, and ER, HER2, and PR immunohistochemistry. Both the SBR score and lack of PR expression were associated with shorter PFS in patients treated
