Abstract 93MO

Background

Abemaciclib demonstrated a sustained benefit in invasive disease-free survival and a tolerable safety profile in monarchE at 42 months (mo) median follow-up (mFU). At 19 mo mFU, initial patient (pt)-reported outcome (PRO) findings supported a tolerable profile with most pts remaining on treatment (tx). With all pts now off abemaciclib, we report data including the full 2-year tx period and follow-up to evaluate long-term impact on PROs.

Methods

Pts completed PROs including FACT-B, FACT-ES, and FACIT-Fatigue at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 mo, and 1, 6, 12 mo after tx discontinuation (dc). Mixed effects repeated measures model estimated changes from baseline within and between arms for summary scores and individual items. Meaningful change was defined as 0.5 standard deviation of baseline summary scores and 1 point for individual items. Additional analyses included frequencies of responses to items associated with adverse events (AEs; e.g., diarrhea, fatigue) and tx bother.

Results

For the 5591 treated pts, PRO completion rates were >90% on tx and ∼80% during follow-up. Within- and between-arms, differences in mean changes from baseline for all PROs were less than prespecified thresholds for meaningful difference, except for diarrhea, with worse scores in abemaciclib plus ET at 3 and 6 mo. During tx, most pts reported being bothered “a little bit” or “not at all” by side effects in both arms and most pts (79-85%) on abemaciclib reported “not at all” to “somewhat” for diarrhea (Table). During post-tx follow-up, PROs in both arms were similar to baseline, with ≥80% of pts on abemaciclib arm reporting “not at all” for diarrhea.Table: 93MO

Conclusions

Adjuvant abemaciclib added to ET did not result in meaningful differences in PROs, except for diarrhea,which is considered clinically manageable. Long-term findings suggest reversibility of these effects after tx dc and can help inform pt risk/benefit assessment.
