Abstract 242P

Background

NATALEE met its primary endpoint at second interim efficacy analysis with a significant invasive disease–free survival (iDFS) benefit with ribociclib (RIB) + nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) vs NSAI in pts with HR+/HER2− EBC that was sustained with additional follow-up (median follow-up, 33.3 mo; HR, 0.749). We analyzed iDFS by prior systemic tx (chemotherapy [CT], endocrine therapy [ET]) in NATALEE using data from the final prespecified iDFS analysis (data cutoff: July 21, 2023).

Methods

Pts in NATALEE were randomized 1:1 to RIB 400 mg/d (3 wks on/1 wk off for 36 mo) + NSAI (≥60 mo) or NSAI. Men and premenopausal women also received goserelin. Pts were eligible if they had anatomic stage IIA (high-risk N0 or N1), IIB, or III EBC. Pts were included regardless of prior (neo)adjuvant CT. Pts starting ET ≤12 mo before randomization were included.

Results

Of 5101 pts included, 88% (4494/5101) received prior CT; 43% (2180/5101) had prior neoadjuvant CT, and 48% (2443/5101) had prior adjuvant CT. Of 1432 pts with N0 disease at diagnosis, most had prior CT (78%; 1113/1432). Most pts (73%) with prior neoadjuvant CT had stage III disease, while 19% with no prior CT had stage III disease (additional details in presentation). Overall, 69% (3496/5101) of pts received prior ET with median duration of last prior ET being 3.2 mo. An iDFS benefit with RIB + NSAI was observed regardless of prior CT (no CT, any CT, neoadjuvant, adjuvant) or duration of ET (Table). Table: 242P

Conclusions

This subgroup analysis demonstrated an iDFS benefit with RIB + NSAI vs NSAI alone in pts with HR+/HER2− EBC, regardless of duration of prior ET as well as prior (neo)adjuvant CT vs no CT, underlying potential role of CDK4/6 inhibitors in therapeutic de-escalation of CT in EBC. A majority of pts with N0 disease at diagnosis had received prior (neo)adjuvant CT, highlighting that these pts had a risk of recurrence that was considered high enough to warrant CT.
