Abstract 1378

Background

In MONARCH 3, a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial; continuous dosing of abemaciclib in combination with an AI (anastrozole or letrozole) conferred significant clinical benefit to postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2- ABC. We here report data from an additional 12 months of follow-up in this trial including analysis for clinically prognostic subgroups (Di Leo et al., 2018).

Methods

From the 31 October 2018 data cutoff, exploratory intermediate efficacy parameters including time to subsequent chemotherapy ([TCT] time from randomization to first chemotherapy [CT]) and time to second disease progression ([PFS2] time from randomization to discontinuation date of first post-discontinuation treatment [PDT], or starting date of the secondPDT, or death) were assessed. TCT and PFS2 were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method in the intent to treat (ITT) and subgroups previously identified as significantly prognostic.

Results

In the ITT population, updated PFS was 28.2 vs 14.8 months (HR [95% CI]: 0.525 [0.415, 0.665]; p<.0001) in the abemaciclib vs placebo arms, respectively. A higher number of patients discontinued the study in the placebo arm as compared to the abemaciclib arm, thereby starting a PDT. Systemic PDT was received by 178 (54%) patients in the abemaciclib arm and 123 (74.5%) in the placebo arm, of which 93 (28.4%) and 82 (49.7%) received CT respectively. Addition of abemaciclib to AI deferred the initiation of CT both in the ITT (HR [95% CI]: 0.513 [0.380, 0.691]; p<.0001) and in subgroups (Table). PFS2 was prolonged in the abemaciclib arm (HR [95% CI]: 0.637 [0.495, 0.819]; p<.0004). Consistent with the ITT population, PFS2 favored the abemaciclib arm across all subgroups of prognostic factors (Table). Safety profile was generally consistent with previously disclosed results.Table:
