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
iDFS by Prior CT and ET
| Prior tx, n (%) | RIB + NSAI n = 2549 | NSAI alone n = 2552 | HR (95% CI) |
| No prior CT | 300 (12) | 307 (12) | 0.82 (0.47-1.44) |
| Prior CT | 2249 (88) | 2245 (88) | 0.74 (0.62-0.89) |
| Prior neoadjuvant CT a | 1085 (43) | 1095 (43) | 0.82 (0.64-1.03) |
| Prior adjuvant CT a | 1223 (48) | 1220 (48) | 0.69 (0.52-0.92) |
| No prior ET | 793 (31) | 812 (32) | 0.77 (0.57-1.03) |
| Prior ET b | 1756 (69) | 1740 (68) | 0.74 (0.60-0.92) |
ET ConclusionsThis 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.
