Abemaciclib as Adjuvant Treatment for High-Risk Early Breast Cancer

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38114413/

The results of the pivotal trial are sufficient to consider abemaciclib as adjuvant treatment for high-risk early breast cancer in highly selected patients. However, in order to the efficacy results...

With a median follow-up of 15.5 months, abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in invasive disease-free survival versus endocrine therapy alone.

Ribociclib+fulvestrant probably represents the best option in a first-line setting. When combined with NSAI, dalpiciclib likely showed the best efficacy but the worst safety. Abemaciclib+NSAI and ribociclib+NSAI could also be...

Considering OS, the top 3 ranked treatments were ribociclib plus fulvestrant, abemaciclib plus NSAI, and ribociclib plus NSAI.

Phase II DORA Study of Olaparib With or Without Durvalumab as a Chemotherapy-Free Maintenance Strategy in Platinum-Pretreated Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Phase II DORA Study of Olaparib With or Without Durvalumab as a Chemotherapy-Free Maintenance Strategy in Platinum-Pretreated Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38236575/

PFS was longer than expected with both regimens. A patient subset with wild-type BRCA platinum-sensitive aTNBC had durable disease control with chemotherapy-free maintenance.

At 9.8 months of median follow-up, median PFS rates from randomization were 4.0 months with olaparib and 6.1 months with combination treatment, both of which were significantly longer than the historical control treatment.
