LBA7_PR: Overall survival (OS) results of the Phase III MONALEESA-3 trial of postmenopausal patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (HER2−) advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with fulvestrant (FUL) ± ribociclib (RIB) by Michelino De Laurentiis

Abstract 7184

Background

The phase III MONALEESA-3 trial (NCT02422615; N = 726) investigated RIB, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, + FUL as first-line (1L) or second-line (2L) treatment for postmenopausal pts with HR+/HER2− ABC. Here we report OS and 1L progression-free survival (PFS) results.

Methods

Postmenopausal pts with HR+/HER2− ABC were randomized 2:1 to receive RIB + FUL or PBO + FUL in 1L and 2L settings. This is the 2nd of 3 protocol-specified OS analyses.

Results

At the data cutoff (3 Jun 2019), 153 pts were still on treatment (RIB, n = 121 [25.0%]; PBO, n = 32 [13.2%]); OS was evaluated after 275 deaths (RIB, 167 [34.5%]; PBO, 108 [44.6%]). Median follow-up was 39.4 mo. RIB + FUL demonstrated a statistically significant OS prolongation over PBO + FUL (median, NR vs 40.0 mo; HR, 0.724, 95% CI, 0.568-0.924, P = 0.00455). The result crossed the prespecified Lan DeMets (O’Brien Fleming) stopping boundary (P = 0.01129) for superior efficacy. Per protocol, these OS results will be considered final. OS benefit with RIB vs PBO was consistent across all subgroups, including the 1L subgroup (median, NR vs 45.1 mo; HR, 0.700 [95% CI, 0.479-1.021]) and the early-relapse/2L subgroup (median, 40.2 vs 32.5 mo; HR, 0.730 [95% CI, 0.530-1.004]). In pts receiving 1L treatment, the median PFS (descriptive analysis) with RIB + FUL vs PBO + FUL was 33.6 vs 19.2 mo (HR, 0.546 [95% CI, 0.415-0.718]). Time to progression on next-line therapy or death (PFS2) was also longer with RIB vs PBO (median, 39.8 vs 29.4 mo; HR, 0.670 [95% CI, 0.542-0.830]). The safety profile was consistent with previously published analyses.

Conclusions

There was a statistically significant OS prolongation with RIB over PBO, which was consistent across all subgroups. The median PFS with RIB in the 1L setting is the longest reported in a phase III trial in HR+/HER2− ABC. These data, combined with results from MONALEESA-7, confirm RIB benefit with multiple combination partners in pre- and postmenopausal pts, and support RIB as a recommended CDK4/6 inhibitor as 1L and 2L treatment in pts with HR+/HER2- ABC.
