Abstract 4540
Background
Introduction of PH (2012) and K (2013) in the US changed the standard-of-care for HER2-positive mBC. RW studies reported decreased K effectiveness in pts with PH pre-tx. We studied whether timing of PH and K availability in clinical practice could introduce selection bias (i.e. pts with K after PH in early yrs of availability may have to have had rapid progression during PH tx to be included in RW analyses).
Methods
Using de-identified data from the US-based Flatiron electronic health record-derived database, we selected pts diagnosed with mBC on/after 1 Jan 2011 and initiating K between 1 Feb 2013 and 31 Jul 2018. Primary analysis included all pts receiving K (any tx line). Subgroup analysis focused on pts with 2nd-line K tx after PH tx. Time from index date to next tx/death (TTNT) was used as a proxy for progression-free survival.
Results
Primary cohort (N = 533) demographics were generally consistent across yrs (2013–18); median age was 61 yrs; 89% had prior HER2-targeted tx; 23% had brain metastases (mets); 68% had visceral mets. In pts with (n = 231) vs without (n = 79) prior PH, median age was 61 vs 65 yrs, mean time from mBC diagnosis was 16 vs 18 months, 27% vs 20% had brain mets, 74% vs 58% had visceral mets. Additional findings are shown (Table). Prevalence of prior PH exposure almost doubled over the yrs. In 2nd-line K treated pts with prior PH, time from mBC to K increased over the yrs, paralleled by a numerical increase in median TTNT.Table:

Conclusions
Prevalence of PH pre-tx increased, yet K effectiveness remained consistent across yrs. With PH launched shortly before K, the initial pts receiving K were possibly selected due to shorter benefit from prior PH. This selection bias may explain reports of lower K effectiveness in pts with prior PH tx. This illustrates the challenges of assessing tx sequence effectiveness shortly after tx approval.
