Abstract 165MO

Background

SC formulations of intravenous (IV) treatments (tx) are less invasive with shorter administration (admin) times; reducing pts’ clinic time, freeing up healthcare resources and potentially enabling admin outside of hospitals.

Methods

Pts completed neoadjuvant PH + chemotherapy + surgery and were randomised 1:1 to 3 cycles of PH IV followed by 3 cycles of PH FDC SC or vice-versa (crossover period). Pts then chose SC or IV to continue EBC tx up to 18 cycles (continuation period). Primary objective: to assess pt preference for PH FDC SC. Key secondary objectives: patient satisfaction, healthcare professional (HCP) perceptions on time/resource impact, and safety. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03674112.

Results

At primary analysis, 160 pts were randomised; all pts completed crossover tx; 44% completed continuation tx at cut-off (24-02-20). 136 pts (85%; 95% CI 79–90%) preferred SC; 22 (14%) preferred IV; 2 (1%) had no preference. Main reasons for SC preference: reduced clinic time (n=119) and comfort during administration (n=73). 141 (88%) were very satisfied or satisfied with SC vs. 108 (68%) with IV. 87% chose SC to complete HER2-targeted therapy. HCPs’ perceptions on median pts’ time in the tx room across cycles 1–6 for SC vs. IV admin were 33–50 vs. 130–300 min, respectively. The rates of serious adverse events (AEs) and grade ≥3 AEs were low; the most common AEs were as expected (table). There were a higher number of injection site reactions with SC, mainly grade 1–2. AE rates before and after switching were similar (PH IV→PH FDC SC: 78%→73%; PH FDC SC→PH IV: 78%→64%), with no new safety signals. Table: 165MO

Conclusions

PHranceSCa clearly showed that the majority of pts preferred PH FDC SC over PH IV. PH FDC SC was generally well tolerated with no new safety signals. PH FDC SC offers a quicker alternative to PH IV and reduces patients’ time in the tx room.
