Abstract 2376
Background
As part of the key subgroup analyses of EMBRACA, a randomized 2:1 open-label phase 3 study (NCT01945775), improvements in PFS with TALA vs PCT were observed in both subgroups: HER2- gBRCAm ABC pts with/without visceral disease at baseline; these post hoc analyses evaluated PRO.
Methods
PRO was assessed on baseline, at start of each 3-week cycle, and at end of treatment, using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and breast cancer module, QLQ-BR23. Higher scores indicate better functioning/global health status (GHS)/QoL or worse symptom severity. PRO analyses performed separately in pts with/without visceral disease, for GHS/QoL, functional and symptom scales include: Overall mean change from baseline (per longitudinal repeated measures mixed-effects model) and time to definitive clinically meaningful deterioration (TTD) (per survival analysis methods). Between-arm comparisons of TTD were made using stratified log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model.
Results
Baseline scores were similar between arms. A statistically significant estimated overall change from baseline in GHS/QoL favored TALA vs PCT for both subgroups with {8.8 [95%CI: (4.1, 13.5)] P < 0.001} and without {7.4 [95%CI: (0.4, 14.3)] P = 0.04} visceral disease. A statistically significant estimated overall change from baseline in patient reported pain symptoms favored TALA vs PCT for both subgroups with (P < 0.001) and without (P = 0.03) visceral disease. A statistically significant delay in TTD favoring TALA was observed in GHS/QoL for both subgroups with [median: 21.1 vs 6.0 mos, HR = 0.36 (95%CI: 0.23, 0.57); P < 0.001] and without [median: 26.3 vs 12.2 mos, HR = 0.38 (95%CI: 0.18, 0.80); P = 0.009] visceral disease. A statistically significant delay in TTD favoring TALA was observed in pain symptoms for both subgroups with (P < 0.001) and without (P = 0.002) visceral disease.
Conclusions
In HER2- gBRCAm ABC, TALA (vs PCT) resulted in significantly better change from baseline and delayed TTD in GHS/QoL and pain in both pts subgroups with/without visceral disease.
