Abstract
Background
Palbociclib, the first clinically available oral CDK4/6 inhibitor, in combination with endocrine therapy has become standard of care for HR+/HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Little is known about effectiveness of palbociclib plus endocrine compared with endocrine therapy alone in older MBC patients. This study compared real-world progression free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) of palbociclib plus letrozole (PB+LE) vs letrozole alone (LE) in older MBC patients in US clinical practices.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of MBC patients from the Flatiron Health longitudinal database, which contains electronic health records from over 280 cancer clinics representing more than 2.2 million actively treated cancer patients in the US. Between February 2015 and February 2019, 796 HR+/HER2– MBC women aged ≥ 65 years started PB+LE or LE as first-line therapy. Patients were evaluated from start of PB+LE or LE to May 2019, death, or last visit, whichever came first. rwPFS was defined as months from start of PB+LE or LE to death or disease progression based on clinical assessment or radiographic scan/tissue biopsy. Stabilized inverse probability treatment weighting (sIPTW) was used to balance patient characteristics.
Results
After sIPTW, 450 patients in PB+LE and 335 in LE were included. Median age was 74.0 years. Median rwPFS was 22.2 months (95%CI = 20.0-30.4) in PB+LE cohort and 15.8 months (95%CI=12.9-18.9) in LE cohort (HR=0.59, 95%CI=0.47-0.74, p <.0001). Median OS was not reached (NR) in PB+LE cohort vs 43.4 months (95%CI=30.0—NR) in LE cohort (HR=0.55, 95%CI=0.42-0.72, p <.0001). The table presents key patient characteristics and rwPFS and OS rates.

Conclusions
This comparative analysis of PB+LE vs LE alone provides evidence of effectiveness for the palbociclib combination, supporting this treatment as a standard of care for older HR+/HER2- MBC patients in the first line setting.
