Real-world time trends in overall survival, treatments and patient characteristics in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer: an observational study of the SONABRE Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to evaluate whether changes in therapeutic strategies have improved survival of patients diagnosed with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) in real-world.

Methods

All 1950 patients systemically treated for HR+/HER2- ABC and diagnosed between 2008 and 2019 in eight hospitals were retrieved from the SONABRE Registry (NCT-03577197). Patients were categorized per three-year cohorts based on year of ABC diagnosis. Tests for trend were used to examine differences in baseline characteristics, Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards for survival analyses, and competing-risk methods for 3-year use of systemic therapy.

Findings

Over time, patients were older (≥70 years, 37%, n = 169/456 in 2008-2010, 47%, n = 233/493 in 2017-2019, p = 0.004) and more often had multiple metastatic sites at ABC diagnosis (48%, n = 220/456 in 2008-2010, 56%, n = 275/493 in 2017-2019, p = 0.002). Among patients with metachronous metastases the prior exposure to (neo-) adjuvant therapies increased over time (chemotherapy, 38%, n = 138/362 in 2008-2010, 48%, n = 181/376 in 2017-2019, p = <0.001; endocrine therapy, 64%, n = 231/362 in 2008-2010, 72%, n = 271/376 in 2017-2019, p = <0.001). Overall survival significantly improved from median 31.1 months (95% CI:28.2-34.3) for patients diagnosed in 2008-2010 to 38.4 months (95% CI:34.0-41.1) in 2017-2019 (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.76, 95% CI:0.64-0.90; p = 0.001). Three-year use of CDK4/6 inhibitors increased from 0% for patients diagnosed in 2008-2010 to 54% for diagnosis in 2017-2019. Conversely, three-year use of chemotherapy was 50% versus 36%, respectively.

Interpretation

Over time, patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- ABC presented with less favourable patient characteristics. Nevertheless, we observed that overall survival of ABC increased between 2008 and 2019, with increased use of endocrine/targeted therapies.

Project description:BackgroundRandomized controlled trials have shown inconsistent overall survival (OS) benefit among the three cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) as first-line (1L) treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Several real-world studies compared CDK4/6i effectiveness, with inconsistent findings. This study compared overall survival (OS) of patients with HR+/HER2- mBC receiving 1L palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib, in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI), in US clinical practice.Patients and methodsThis retrospective study used real-world data from the Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived deidentified longitudinal database. Patients with HR+/HER2- mBC aged ≥18 years at mBC diagnosis started 1L CDK4/6i therapy (index treatment) between February 2015 and November 2023, with a potential ≥6-month follow-up. OS was defined as months from start of index treatment to death. Stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (sIPTW; primary analysis) was used to balance baseline patient characteristics. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was carried out as a sensitivity analysis.ResultsOf 9146 eligible patients, 6831, 1279, and 1036 received palbociclib plus AI, ribociclib plus AI, or abemaciclib plus AI, respectively. After sIPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced between treatment groups. After sIPTW, no significant OS differences were found between treatment groups [ribociclib versus palbociclib: adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87-1.10, P = 0.7531; abemaciclib versus palbociclib: aHR 0.95, 95% CI 0.84-1.08, P = 0.4292; abemaciclib versus ribociclib: aHR 0.97, 95% CI 0.82-1.14, P = 0.6956]. Sensitivity analysis including a subanalysis of patients who started index treatment in 2017 or later also showed no significant OS differences between treatment groups.ConclusionsThis large real-world study suggested that there were no significant OS differences between 1L ribociclib, abemaciclib, and palbociclib in combination with an AI for patients with HR+/HER2- mBC. These findings together with other factors such as safety and quality of life are helpful in the selection of CDK4/6i combination therapy for patients with HR+/HER2- mBC.

Project description:BackgroundIn recent years, the combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) has emerged as the standard first-line treatment for hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. However, the comparison between the efficacy of CDK4/6i has been poorly explored before. Moreover, it remains unclear about the optimal choice of CDK4/6i in the first-line treatment for HR+/HER2- MBC patients in Asian, especially Chinese populations.ObjectivesOur study aims to compare the efficacy of three CDK4/6i widely used in the Chinese population (palbociclib, abemaciclib, and dalpiciclib) in the real world.DesignFrom 2020 to 2023, the medical records of patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- MBC were retrospectively assessed in seven institutions in China. Patients who received first-line palbociclib, abemaciclib, or dalpiciclib plus ET were included.MethodsDemographic and clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate were used to analyze the clinical outcome.ResultsIn total, 209 HR+/HER2- MBC patients were eligible for this study. Eighty-eight (42.1%), 79 (37.8%), and 42 (20.1%) patients were administered first-line palbociclib, abemaciclib, or dalpiciclib plus ET. The overall median rwPFS was 19 months, with no significant difference between these three CDK4/6i (p = 0.84). The results were similar even after propensity score matching. The median OS was not reached. Cox univariate and multivariate regression analysis identified that higher KI67 index, liver metastasis, and primary endocrine resistance were independent risk factors for rwPFS in patients with initial CDK4/6i plus ET.ConclusionThis study presents a comparison of the real-world efficacy between three CDK4/6i widely used in the Chinese population. Palbociclib, abemaciclib, and dalpiciclib demonstrated comparable efficacy in Chinese patients with advanced HR+/HER2- MBC.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06344780.
