Abstract 5825

Background

This study describes real-world use and population characteristics in HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients receiving palbociclib (PAL) in routine practice.

Methods

This prospective, noninterventional study has a targeted enrollment of 1500 men and women from ∼110 sites. Site and patient data, monitored remotely for clarity/completeness, are collected from medical charts, physician surveys, and patient-reported outcomes; optional blood samples are collected during standard-of-care lab draws.

Results

This is an interim report of the first 312 patients with completed baseline case report forms as of 9Mar18 from 66 US sites (data snapshot: 9Apr18). Most sites were community sites (79%) with 1-10 treating physicians (61%). Of 33 sites that use clinical pathways, 45% were based on NCCN and 42% on US Oncology guidelines. Selected patient characteristics are shown (Table). Before starting PAL at enrollment, 18% of patients received chemotherapy, 21% hormonal therapy, 11% radiotherapy, 4% surgical resection, and 66% had no prior ABC therapy. Overall, 72% of patients received PAL combination first-line, of whom 56% received PAL+letrozole or anastrozole, 41% PAL+fulvestrant, and 4% PAL+exemestane. Of patients receiving ≥second-line PAL, 46% received prior hormonal monotherapy, 43% prior chemotherapy alone, and 6% both.Table: 344P

Disease-free interval was defined as the time from first diagnosis of breast cancer to onset of advanced/metastatic disease among patients with available initial breast cancer diagnosis dates and available date of first ABC diagnosis.

Conclusions

This is the first large, prospective multicenter study assessing real-world use of a CDK4/6 inhibitor. In the first 312-patient cohort, most were treated at community sites. A heterogeneous real-world population received PAL, including elderly, premenopausal, African-American, Latino/Hispanic, and male patients not commonly represented in clinical trials. Hormone partners received with PAL included steroidal and nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant, predominantly first-line.
