Tong F, Lu Y, Ma HF, Shen J. Comparative efficacy and safety of CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapies for HR+/HER2-breast cancer: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31583. [PMID: 38832268 PMCID: PMC11145204 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background In recent years, the combination of targeted drugs, such as Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors, with endocrine therapy (ET), has emerged as a new research focus in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer. This network meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with ET for HR+/HER2-breast cancer. Methods A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and GeenMedical databases to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy for the treatment of HR+/HER2-breast cancer. The search period spanned from the inception of each database up to February 29, 2024. Data analysis was conducted using Stata 14.0 and R 4.1.0 software. Results A total of 20 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this study, investigating the effectiveness of four CDK4/6 inhibitors-Abemaciclib, Dalpiciclib, Ribociclib, and Palbociclib-when combined with ET for the treatment of HR+/HER2-breast cancer. The results indicated that Abemaciclib + ET, Dalpiciclib + ET, Palbociclib + ET, and Ribociclib + ET exhibited similar therapeutic effects in terms of improving objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and reducing the occurrence of fatigue, all of which were superior to ET alone. However, in terms of prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), Dalpiciclib + ET significantly improved PFS compared to Ribociclib + ET, Palbociclib + ET, Abemaciclib and Palbociclib. Ribociclib + ET significantly improved OS compared to Palbociclib + ET. Regarding overall adverse reaction events (AREs), Dalpiciclib + ET had a higher incidence compared to Ribociclib + ET. The incidence of neutropenia caused by Dalpiciclib + ET was significantly higher compared to Palbociclib + ET, Ribociclib + ET, Abemaciclib, and Palbociclib. Abemaciclib + ET demonstrated the worst safety profile concerning diarrhea. Conclusion Abemaciclib + ET likely represents the most effective option in terms of therapeutic effects, but it is prone to causing diarrhea and fatigue. On the other hand, Dalpiciclib + ET likely demonstrates the best efficacy in terms of PFS but exhibits the poorest safety profile, particularly in relation to neutropenia. Therefore, clinicians should exercise increased vigilance in monitoring and managing adverse effects when prescribing Abemaciclib + ET and Dalpiciclib + ET.

PACE: A Randomized Phase II Study of Fulvestrant, Palbociclib, and Avelumab After Progression on Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor and Aromatase Inhibitor for Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer. J Clin Oncol 2024; 42:2050-2060.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6is) are an important component of treatment for hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but it is not known if patients might derive benefit from continuation of CDK4/6i with endocrine therapy beyond initial tumor progression or if the addition of checkpoint inhibitor therapy has value in this setting. METHODS The randomized multicenter phase II PACE trial enrolled patients with hormone receptor-positive/HER2- MBC whose disease had progressed on previous CDK4/6i and aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy. Patients were randomly assigned 1:2:1 to receive fulvestrant (F), fulvestrant plus palbociclib (F + P), or fulvestrant plus palbociclib and avelumab (F + P + A). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) in patients treated with F versus F + P. RESULTS Overall, 220 patients were randomly assigned between September 2017 and February 2022. The median age was 57 years (range, 25-83 years). Most patients were postmenopausal (80.9%), and 40% were originally diagnosed with de novo MBC. Palbociclib was the most common previous CDK4/6i (90.9%). The median PFS was 4.8 months on F and 4.6 months on F + P (hazard ratio [HR], 1.11 [90% CI, 0.79 to 1.55]; P = .62). The median PFS on F + P + A was 8.1 months (HR v F, 0.75 [90% CI, 0.50 to 1.12]; P = .23). The difference in PFS with F + P and F + P + A versus F was greater among patients with baseline ESR1 and PIK3CA alterations. CONCLUSION The addition of palbociclib to fulvestrant did not improve PFS versus fulvestrant alone among patients with hormone receptor-positive/HER2- MBC whose disease had progressed on a previous CDK4/6i plus AI. The increased PFS seen with the addition of avelumab warrants further investigation in this patient population.

Lainé M, Greene ME, Kurleto JD, Bozek G, Leng T, Huggins RJ, Komm BS, Greene GL. Lasofoxifene as a potential treatment for aromatase inhibitor-resistant ER-positive breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res 2024; 26:95. [PMID: 38849889 DOI: 10.1186/s13058-024-01843-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancers treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) can develop AI resistance, which is often driven by estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα/ESR1) activating mutations, as well as by ER-independent signaling pathways. The breast ER antagonist lasofoxifene, alone or combined with palbociclib, elicited antitumor activities in a xenograft model of ER + metastatic breast cancer (mBC) harboring ESR1 mutations. The current study investigated the activity of LAS in a letrozole-resistant breast tumor model that does not have ESR1 mutations. METHODS Letrozole-resistant, MCF7 LTLT cells tagged with luciferase-GFP were injected into the mammary duct inguinal glands of NSG mice (MIND model; 6 mice/group). Mice were randomized to vehicle, lasofoxifene ± palbociclib, fulvestrant ± palbociclib, or palbociclib alone 2-3 weeks after cell injections. Tumor growth and metastases were monitored with in vivo and ex vivo luminescence imaging, terminal tumor weight measurements, and histological analysis. The experiment was repeated with the same design and 8-9 mice in each treatment group. RESULTS Western blot analysis showed that the MCF7 LTLT cells had lower ERα and higher HER2 expressions compared with normal MCF7 cells. Lasofoxifene ± palbociclib, but not fulvestrant, significantly reduced primary tumor growth versus vehicle as assessed by in vivo imaging of tumors at study ends. Percent tumor area in excised mammary glands was significantly lower for lasofoxifene plus palbociclib versus vehicle. Ki67 staining showed decreased overall tumor cell proliferation with lasofoxifene ± palbociclib. The lasofoxifene + palbociclib combination was also associated with significantly fewer bone metastases compared with vehicle. Similar results were observed in the repeat experiment. CONCLUSIONS In a mouse model of letrozole-resistant breast cancer with no ESR1 mutations, reduced levels of ERα, and overexpression of HER2, lasofoxifene alone or combined with palbociclib inhibited primary tumor growth more effectively than fulvestrant. Lasofoxifene plus palbociclib also reduced bone metastases. These results suggest that lasofoxifene alone or combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor may offer benefits to patients who have ER-low and HER2-positive, AI-resistant breast cancer, independent of ESR1 mutations.

Ribociclib-Induced Cutaneous Adverse Events in Metastatic HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer: Incidence, Multidisciplinary Management, and Prognostic Implication. Oncologist 2024; 29:484-492. [PMID: 38242689 PMCID: PMC11145009 DOI: 10.1093/oncolo/oyae004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ribociclib is approved for hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) treatment, in combination with endocrine therapy. Hematological, hepatic, and cardiac adverse events (AEs) emerged from pivotal trials, but little is known about cutaneous adverse events (CAEs). PATIENTS AND METHODS We report data from a retrospective cohort study of all patients with HR+/HER2- ABC treated with ribociclib at Humanitas Cancer Center between June 2017 and December 2022. We recorded clinical-pathological data, the incidence, and treatment of ribociclib-related CAEs. These were evaluated according to the NCI-CTCAE v5.0 classification. Progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test was used to analyze differences between groups. RESULTS Thirteen of 91 patients (14.3%) experienced treatment-related CAEs (mean time to the occurrence: 3.9 months). The most frequent CAEs were eczematous dermatitis (53.8%) and maculo-papular reaction (15.4%). Itch was reported by all 13 patients. The grade was G3 in 8 cases, G2 in 4, and G1 in 1. An integrated approach based on ribociclib dose modulation and dermatological interventions (oral antihistamine, moisturized cream, topical, and/or systemic steroids) could prevent ribociclib discontinuation in most patients. At a median follow-up of 20 months, the median PFS was 13 months (range, 1-66) with a better PFS curves for patients experiencing CAEs (P = .04). CONCLUSION We mapped frequency and types of ribociclib-induced CAEs. An interdisciplinary management of CAEs incorporated into routine care may reduce the rate of drug discontinuation thus potentially contributing to better long-term outcomes.

A Signal-Finding Study of Abemaciclib in Heavily Pretreated Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Results from CYCLONE 1. Clin Cancer Res 2024; 30:2377-2383. [PMID: 38512117 PMCID: PMC11145166 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-23-3436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors radically changed the treatment paradigm for breast cancer. Similar to estrogen receptor in breast cancer, androgen receptor signaling activates cyclin D-CDK4/6, driving proliferation and resistance to hormonal manipulation in prostate cancer. This study was designed to detect signals of clinical activity for abemaciclib in treatment-refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had progressive mCRPC, measurable disease, and previously received ≥1 novel hormonal agent(s) and 2 lines of taxane chemotherapy. Abemaciclib 200 mg twice daily was administered on a continuous dosing schedule. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) without concurrent bone progression. This study was designed to detect a minimum ORR of 12.5%. RESULTS At trial entry, 40 (90.9%) of 44 patients had objective radiographic disease progression, 4 (9.1%) had prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-only progression, and 20 (46.5%) had visceral metastases (of these, 60% had liver metastases). Efficacy analyses are as follows: ORR without concurrent bone progression: 6.8%; disease control rate: 45.5%; median time to PSA progression: 6.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.2-NA]; median radiographic PFS; 2.7 months (95% CI, 1.9-3.7); and median OS, 8.4 months (95% CI, 5.6-12.7). Most frequent grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) were neutropenia (25.0%), anemia, and fatigue (11.4% each). No grade 4 or 5 AEs were related to abemaciclib. CONCLUSIONS Abemaciclib monotherapy was well tolerated and showed clinical activity in this heavily pretreated population, nearly half with visceral metastases. This study is considered preliminary proof-of-concept and designates CDK4/6 as a valid therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitors in Patients With Breast Cancer. Oncologist 2024; 29:e741-e749. [PMID: 38340010 PMCID: PMC11144975 DOI: 10.1093/oncolo/oyae015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce the bioavailability of several anticancer drugs. The impact of PPIs co-administered with cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors is controversial. We aimed to clarify whether the concomitant use of PPIs impacts palbociclib and abemaciclib effectiveness in breast cancer treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter, retrospective, observational study, conducted across 4 medical institutions in Japan, consecutively included patients with endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer, receiving palbociclib or abemaciclib between December 2017 and August 2022. Propensity score-matched analyses were performed. Treatment efficacy and safety with and without PPIs were compared. Progression-free survival and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using a log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratio. RESULTS The study included 240 patients. After 1:1 matching, 112 patients were treated with and without PPIs. The median progression-free survival period was 1.2 years in the PPI group and 1.3 years in the non-PPI group (hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.70-2.02). The median overall survival period was 3.6 years in the PPI group, whereas it was not reached in the non-PPI group (hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.61-2.47). Consistent results were obtained for subgroups receiving palbociclib (n = 177) and abemaciclib (n = 63) without propensity score matching. Adverse event incidence and severity were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION The effectiveness of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors is unlikely to be affected by concomitant PPI use. Future prospective pharmacokinetic studies are warranted.

Sustained remission after cord blood transplantation for breast cancer with lung metastases and myelodysplastic syndrome. Int J Hematol 2024; 119:762-767.

Abstract
Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is not a standard therapy for solid cancer because of its high toxicity and insufficient evidence levels. However, the potential graft-versus-solid-tumor (GVT) effect of this therapy has been discussed. Many case reports have also described treatment effects of allo-HSCT in patients with hematologic malignancies and active solid tumors. A 38-year-old woman treated with fulvestrant and abemaciclib for recurrent breast cancer with multiple lung metastases was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with increased blasts 2. She was classified as adverse risk by the 2017 European LeukemiaNet risk stratification and as very high risk by the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System. Breast cancer treatment was interrupted and venetoclax and azacitidine therapy was started. Complete hematologic response was achieved after three cycles. However, multiple lung metastases from the breast cancer remained. The patient then underwent umbilical cord blood transplantation. She has maintained complete remission of MDS as of 1 year post-transplantation, without serious complications. Lung metastatic activity on FDG-PET/CT scan also completely disappeared by half a year post-transplantation, and this response has continued as of 1 year post-transplantation. This favorable treatment course suggests the existence of a GVT effect.

Abstract
Approximately 15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients have neither hormone receptors expression nor HER2 overexpression and/or HER2/neu gene amplification. This subtype of breast cancer is known as Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), and carries a significantly elevated risk of local and distant recurrence. In comparison with other breast cancer subtypes, there is a higher rate of visceral and brain metastases. The majority of metastases of TNBC are diagnosed within three years after initial breast cancer diagnosis. While there have been major advances in hormone-receptor- positive and in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive disease over the past two decades, only limited improvements in outcomes for patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) have been observed. A group of Austrian breast cancer specialists therefore convened an expert meeting to establish a comprehensive clinical risk-benefit profile of available mTNBC therapies and discuss the role sacituzumab govitecan may play in the treatment algorithm of the triple-negative breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and benefits from endocrine agents such as tamoxifen. However, the development of drug resistance in cancerous cells often leads to recurrence, thus limiting the therapeutic benefit. Identification of potential biomarkers that can predict response to tamoxifen and recognize patients who will clinically benefit from this therapy is urgently needed. In this study, we report that high collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) expression was associated with poor therapeutic response and prognosis in breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen. To confirm the role of COL11A1 in the development of tamoxifen resistance, we established MCF-7/COL11A1 and T47D/COL11A1 cell lines, which stably expressed COL11A1. Compared with parental MCF-7 and T47D, MCF-7/COL11A1 and T47D/COL11A1 cells were more resistant to 4-OHT-induced growth inhibition. Moreover, the level of COL11A1 expression was upregulated in tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7/TamR and T47D/TamR cell lines, and depletion of COL11A1 markedly sensitized the cells to 4-OHT in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, the level of estrogen receptor α (ERα) expression was elevated, probably due to the increased COL11A1 in TamR cells. In addition, knockdown of COL11A1 decreased the expression of ERα and its downstream target genes. Overall, our findings suggest that overexpressed COL11A1 contributes to tamoxifen resistance, and targeting COL11A1 holds great promise for reversing endocrine resistance.

EGFR and HER2 hyper-activation mediates resistance to endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in ER+ breast cancer. Cancer Lett 2024; 593:216968.

Abstract
In patients with ER + metastatic breast cancer (mBC), the first-line treatment involves the combination of endocrine therapy (ET) and CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i). However, a significant group of patients experiences disease progression, emphasizing the urgent clinical need to identify novel anti-tumor therapies. We previously generated breast cancer cells resistant to the combination of fulvestrant (ER downregulator) and abemaciclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) from MCF7 and T47D (MCF7-FAR and T47D-FAR). RNA-seq-based Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed hyper-activation of EGFR, HER2, and AKT signaling in both MCF7-FAR and T47D-FAR. Modulating EGFR or ERBB2 expression through loss- and gain-of-function experiments altered tumor sensitivity to fulvestrant and abemaciclib in parental and FAR spheroids, affecting ERK and AKT/S6 pathways. Cetuximab treatment overcame tumor resistance to fulvestrant and abemaciclib in FAR and EGFR-overexpressing breast cancer spheroids and xenografts. Likewise, patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from individuals with ER + mBC, progressing on palbociclib, exhibited up-regulation of EGFR and HER2 pathways. In conclusion, our findings suggest that inhibiting EGFR and HER2 pathways might overcome resistance to ET + CDK4/6i in selected patients with ER + mBC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate and compare the risk of hematological adverse events (AEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors using data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and Food and Drug Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for RCTs related to abemaciclib, palbociclib, and ribociclib. A network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted to compare the risks of hematological AEs, and a disproportionality analysis was performed to detect signals of hematological AEs. RESULTS 16 RCTs comprising 16,350 breast cancer patients were included. Palbociclib and ribociclib had similar risks for hematological AEs, except a higher risk of grade 3-4 leukopenia observed with palbociclib (risk ratio [RR]: 7.84, 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.33-41.28). Abemaciclib had a higher risk of anemia than both ribociclib (grade 1-4: RR: 2.23, 95% CI: 1.25 - 3.96; grade 3-4: RR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.59 - 8.11) and palbociclib (grade 1-4: RR: 1.65, 95%CI: 1.03 - 2.59), but a lower risk of grade 3-4 of both leukopenia (RR: 0.12, 95%CI: 0.02 - 0.49) and neutropenia (RR: 0.15, 95%CI: 0.04 - 0.52) compared with palbociclib. Signals indicating occurrence of leukopenia, neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia were identified for three CDK4/6 inhibitors. CONCLUSION Abemaciclib, palbociclib, and ribociclib showed significant but inconsistent hematological toxicity risks.

Landscape of Baseline and Acquired Genomic Alterations in Circulating Tumor DNA with Abemaciclib Alone or with Endocrine Therapy in Advanced Breast Cancer. Clin Cancer Res 2024; 30:2233-2244.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify potential predictors of response and resistance mechanisms in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor abemaciclib ± endocrine therapy (ET), baseline and acquired genomic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) were analyzed and associated with clinical outcomes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN MONARCH 3: postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2- ABC and no prior systemic therapy in the advanced setting were randomly assigned to abemaciclib or placebo plus nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI). nextMONARCH: women with HR+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer that progressed on/after prior ET and chemotherapy were randomly assigned to abemaciclib alone (two doses) or plus tamoxifen. Baseline and end-of-treatment plasma samples from patients in MONARCH 3 and nextMONARCH (monotherapy arms) were analyzed to identify somatic genomic alterations. Association between genomic alterations and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was assessed. RESULTS Most patients had ≥1 genomic alteration detected in baseline ctDNA. In MONARCH 3, abemaciclib+NSAI was associated with improved mPFS versus placebo+NSAI, regardless of baseline alterations. ESR1 alterations were less frequently acquired in the abemaciclib+NSAI arm than placebo+NSAI. Acquired alterations potentially associated with resistance to abemaciclib ± NSAI included RB1 and MYC. CONCLUSIONS In MONARCH 3, certain baseline ctDNA genomic alterations were prognostic for ET but not predictive of abemaciclib response. Further studies are warranted to assess whether ctDNA alterations acquired during abemaciclib treatment differ from other CDK4/6 inhibitors. Findings are hypothesis generating; further exploration is warranted into mechanisms of resistance to abemaciclib and ET. See related commentary by Wander and Bardia, p. 2008.

The Use of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitors in Elderly Breast Cancer Patients: What Do We Know? Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1838.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) incidence increases with age, particularly in HR-positive/HER2-negative subtypes. Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK 4/6is) alongside endocrine therapy (ET) have emerged as promising treatments for HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced and early BC. However, their efficacy, safety, and impact on quality of life (QoL) in older and frail patients remain underexplored. METHODS This position paper assesses the existing literature from 2015 to 2024, focusing on CDK4/6is use in patients aged 65 years and older with HR-positive/HER2-negative BC. RESULTS Our analysis methodically addresses critical questions regarding the utilization of CDK4/6is in the elderly BC patient population, organizing findings from the metastatic and adjuvant settings. In the metastatic setting, CDK4/6is significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS), paralleling benefits observed in younger patients, and suggest potential overall survival (OS) benefits, warranting further investigation. Despite an increased incidence of grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs), such as neutropenia and asthenia, CDK4/6is present a markedly lower toxicity profile compared to traditional chemotherapy, with manageable side effects. QoL analysis indicates that integrating CDK4/6is into treatment regimens does not significantly impact elderly BC patients' daily life and symptom management. Special attention is given to frail subgroups, and personalized approaches are recommended to balance efficacy and adverse effects, such as starting with ET alone and introducing CDK4/6is upon progression in patients with a low disease burden. Transitioning to the adjuvant setting, early results, particularly with abemaciclib, indicate positive effects on disease-free survival (DFS), emphasizing the need for continued analysis to validate these findings and assess long-term implications. However, data on older patients are insufficient to conclude whether they truly benefit from this treatment. CONCLUSION Overall, CDK4/6is present a favorable benefit-risk profile in older BC patients, at least in advanced BC; however, further research is warranted to optimize treatment strategies and improve outcomes in this population.

Abstract
(1) Background: Abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy is a standard first- or later-line of treatment for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to describe the outcomes of patients treated in a real-world setting, with particular focus on elderly patients. (2) Patients and methods: Patients treated with abemaciclib between November 2019 and February 2022 were included in the study. Data were collected from electronic medical records. The primary objective was to determine real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), and secondary objectives included median overall survival (mOS) and safety. (3) Results: Analysis included 134 patients, with a median follow-up of 42 months. Median age was 62 years, with 29.9% aged 70+ years. A total of 51.5% of patients received abemaciclib in first-line, predominantly with aromatase inhibitor (68.1%). Median rwPFS was 21 in first-line and 20 months in the second-line, with no significant difference between treatment lines (HR 0.96; p = 0.88). Patients treated in the third- or later-line had a significantly shorter rwPFS, at 7 months (HR 1.48, p = 0.003). mOS was not reached in the first-line setting. For second- and third- or later-lines, mOS was 29 and 19 months, respectively. There was no significant difference in mOS between first- or second-line (HR 1.37, p = 0.36). In the 70+ group, median rwPFS was 15 months and mOS was 25 months with no significant difference compared to younger patients (rwPFS HR 1.1; p = 0.65; OS HR 1.4; p = 0.21). Most common adverse events (AEs) were diarrhoea (68.7%), anaemia (64.9%), and increased serum creatinine (63.4%). Grade 3/4 AEs were reported in 21.6% of patients. Dose reductions occurred in 30.6% of patients and were more frequent in patients 70+ (40%) compared to younger patients (28%); the difference was not significant (p = 0.22). At study cut-off, 64.9% of patients discontinued abemaciclib, primarily due to disease progression (73.5%). (4) Conclusions: Our study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of abemaciclib for the treatment of MBC. We observed comparable outcomes in terms of rwPFS and OS between the first two lines, suggesting consistent effectiveness across treatment lines. In addition, our findings suggest that older age (70+) does not significantly impact the effectiveness and tolerability of abemaciclib, although the careful monitoring and management of AEs are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In MONARCH 2, the addition of abemaciclib to fulvestrant significantly improved both progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC) with disease progression on prior endocrine therapy (ET). In MONARCH 3, the addition of abemaciclib to a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) as initial therapy for HR+, HER2- ABC significantly improved PFS. Here, we present the prespecified final OS results for MONARCH 3. PATIENTS AND METHODS MONARCH 3 is a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study of abemaciclib plus NSAI (anastrozole or letrozole) versus placebo plus NSAI in postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2- ABC without prior systemic therapy in the advanced setting. The primary objective was investigator-assessed PFS; OS was a gated secondary endpoint, and chemotherapy-free survival (CFS) was an exploratory endpoint. RESULTS A total of 493 women were randomized 2:1 to receive abemaciclib plus NSAI (n = 328) or placebo plus NSAI (n = 165). After a median follow-up of 8.1 years, there were 198 OS events (60.4%) in the abemaciclib arm and 116 (70.3%) in the placebo arm (hazard ratio, 0.804; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.637-1.015; P = 0.0664, non-significant). Median OS was 66.8 versus 53.7 months for abemaciclib versus placebo. In the subgroup with visceral disease (sVD), there were 113 OS events (65.3%) in the abemaciclib arm and 65 (72.2%) in the placebo arm (hazard ratio, 0.758; 95% CI, 0.558-1.030; P = 0.0757, non-significant). Median OS was 63.7 months versus 48.8 months for abemaciclib versus placebo. The previously demonstrated PFS benefit was sustained, and CFS numerically improved with the addition of abemaciclib. No new safety signals were observed. CONCLUSION Abemaciclib combined with an NSAI resulted in clinically meaningful improvement in median OS (ITT: 13.1 months; sVD: 14.9 months) in patients with HR+ HER2- ABC; however, statistical significance was not reached.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Update on the most recent clinical evidence on CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) in the treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-negative breast cancer. RECENT FINDINGS Over the past decade, CDK4/6i have become part of the standard of care treatment of patients with both metastatic and high-risk early HR + /HER2- breast cancers. The three available CDK4/6i (palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib) have been extensively studied in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) with consistent prolongation of progression free survival; however, ribociclib has emerged as the preferred first line agent in mBC given overall survival benefit over endocrine monotherapy. In early BC, abemaciclib is the only currently approved agent while ribociclib has early positive clinical trial data. Toxicities and financial burden limit the use of CDK4/6i in all patients and resource-poor settings, and optimal timing of their use in mBC remains unclear. There is considerable evidence for the use of CDK4/6i in metastatic and early HR + /HER2- breast cancer, but knowledge gaps remain, and further research is necessary to better define their optimal use.

Abstract
After disease progression on endocrine therapy (ET) plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor, there is no standardized sequence for subsequent treatment lines for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). CDK4/6i retrial as a treatment strategy is commonplace in modern clinical practice; however, the available prospective data investigating this strategy have had inconclusive results. To frame this data in a real-world context, we performed a retrospective analysis assessing the efficacy of CDK4/6is in 195 patients who had previous exposure to CDK4/6i in a prior treatment line at our institution. Among patients who had stopped a CDK4/6i due to toxicity, CDK4/6i retrial either immediately after with a different CDK4/6i or in a further treatment line with the same initial CDK4/6i was both safe and effective, with a median time to treatment failure (TTF) of 10.1 months (95%CI, 4.8-16.9). For patients whose disease progressed on a prior CDK4/6i, we demonstrated comparable median TTFs for patients rechallenged with the same CDK4/6i (4.3 months, 95%CI 3.2-5.5) and with a different CDK4/6i (4.7 months, 95%CI 3.7-6.0) when compared to the recent PACE, PALMIRA, and MAINTAIN trials. Exploratory genomic analysis suggested that the presence of mutations known to confer CDK4/6i resistance, such as TP53 mutations, CDK4 amplifications, and RB1 or FAT1 loss of function mutations may be molecular biomarkers predictive of CDK4/6i retrial failure.

Abstract
Background With more effective therapies for patients with advanced breast cancer (aBC), therapy sequences are becoming increasingly important. However, some patients might drop out of the treatment sequence due to deterioration of their life status. Since little is known about attrition in the real-world setting, this study assessed attrition in the first three therapy lines using a real-world registry. Methods Patients with information available on the first three therapy lines were selected from the German PRAEGNANT registry (NCT02338167). Attrition was determined for each therapy line using competing risk analyses, with the start of the next therapy line or death as endpoints. Additionally, a simple attrition rate was calculated based on the proportion of patients who completed therapy but did not start the next therapy line. Results Competitive risk analyses were performed on 3988 1st line, 2651 2nd line and 1866 3rd line patients. The probabilities of not starting the next therapy line within 5 years after initiation of 1st, 2nd and 3rd line therapy were 30%, 24% and 24% respectively. Patients with HER2-positive disease had the highest risk for attrition, while patients with HRpos/HER2neg disease had the lowest risk. Attrition rates remained similar across molecular subgroups in the different therapy lines. Conclusion Attrition affects a large proportion of patients with aBC, which should be considered when planning novel therapy concepts that specifically address the sequencing of therapies. Taking attrition into account could help understand treatment effects resulting from sequential therapies and might help develop treatment strategies that specifically aim at maintaining quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fifteen to thirty percent of all patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) develop brain metastases (BCBMs). Recently, the antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) have shown to be highly effective in the treatment of MBC. However, there are only limited data whether these macromolecules are also effective in patients with BCBMs. We therefore aimed to examine the efficacy of SG and T-DXd in patients with stable and active BCBMs in a multicenter real-world analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Female patients with stable or active BCBMs who were treated with either SG or T-DXd at three breast centers in Germany before 30 June 2023 were included. As per local clinical praxis, chemotherapy efficacy was evaluated by whole-body computed tomography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and at least every 3 months according to local standards. Growth dynamics of BCBMs were assessed by board-certified neuroradiologists. RESULTS Of 26 patients, with a median of 2.5 prior therapy lines in the metastatic setting (range 2-15), 12 (43%) and 16 (57%) patients received SG and T-DXd, respectively. Out of the 12 patients who received SG, 2 (17%) were subsequently treated with T-DXd. Five out of 12 (42%) and 5 out of 16 (31%) patients treated with SG and T-DXd, respectively, had active BCBMs at treatment initiation. The intracranial disease control rate was 42% [95% confidence interval (CI) 13% to 71%] for patients treated with SG and 88% (95% CI 72% to 100%) for patients treated with T-DXd. After a median follow-up of 12.7 months, median intracranial progression-free survival was 2.7 months (95% CI 1.6-10.5 months) for SG and 11.2 months (95% CI 7.5-23.7 months) for T-DXd. CONCLUSIONS SG and T-DXd showed promising clinical activity in both stable and active BCBMs. Further prospective clinical studies designed to investigate the efficacy of modern ADCs on active and stable BCBMs are urgently needed.

Abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy versus chemotherapy after progression on prior palbociclib in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer: A single center real-world study in China. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7249. [PMID: 38770648 PMCID: PMC11106689 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor plus endocrine therapy (ET) become standard-of-care for patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, the optimal therapeutic paradigm after progression on CDK4/6 inhibitor remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abemaciclib with switching ET versus chemotherapy after progression on prior palbociclib-based ET in Chinese patients with HR+/HER2- MBC. METHODS From 414 consecutive patients with HR+/HER2- MBC who had been treated with palbociclib plus ET from September 2018 to May 2022 in Peking University Cancer Hospital, we identified 80 patients who received abemaciclib plus switching ET or chemotherapy after progression on palbociclib, matched for age, original stage at diagnosis, disease-free interval, and tumor burden at 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. A Cox proportional hazard model was performed to identify clinical factors associated with PFS in the abemaciclib group. RESULTS The median PFS was 6.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.94-8.06) in abemaciclib group and 4.0 months (95% CI, 2.52-5.49) in chemotherapy group (p = 0.667). And, there was no difference in median PFS between the sequential and nonsequential arm (6.0 vs. 6.0 months) in the abemaciclib group though fewer lines of prior systemic therapy and longer PFS from prior palbociclib in the sequential arm. However, patients with prior palbociclib as the first-line therapy had a significantly longer median PFS versus prior palbociclib as ≥2nd-line therapy (11.0 vs. 5.0 months, p = 0.043). Based on multivariable analysis, ER+/PR+ was an independent factor associated with longer PFS. There was no significant difference in overall survival between the abemaciclib and chemotherapy groups (p = 0.069). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that abemaciclib plus switching ET might be one of feasible treatment options for Chinese patients with HR+/HER2- MBC after progression on prior palbociclib-based therapy in addition to chemotherapy.

Abstract
In recent years, new targeted therapies have been developed to treat patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. Some of these therapies have not just become the new therapy standard but also led to significantly longer overall survival rates. The cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have become the therapeutic standard for first-line therapy. Around 70 - 80% of patients are treated with a CDK4/6i. In recent years, a number of biomarkers associated with progression, clonal selection or evolution have been reported for CDK4/6i and their endocrine combination partners. Understanding the mechanisms behind treatment efficacy and resistance is important. A better understanding could contribute to planning the most effective therapeutic sequences and utilizing basic molecular information to overcome endocrine resistance. One study with large numbers of patients which aims to elucidate these mechanisms is the Comprehensive Analysis of sPatial, TempORal and molecular patterns of ribociclib efficacy and resistance in advanced Breast Cancer patients (CAPTOR BC) trial. This overview summarizes the latest clinical research on resistance to endocrine therapies, focusing on CDK4/6 inhibitors and discussing current study concepts.

Abstract
Background: Appropriate adverse event (AE) management and maintenance of therapeutic intensity are necessary to achieve therapeutic benefits of CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib and abemaciclib) in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic/recurrent breast cancer. Objective: This study was aimed at clarifying the effect of AEs associated with palbociclib and abemaciclib on treatment. Methods: A total of 62 and 49 patients were prescribed palbociclib and abemaciclib, respectively, at our hospital from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2023. The rate and reasons for treatment discontinuation, interruption of administration, and changes in dose and dosing schedule, treatment duration, and relative dose intensity (RDI) were compared between the groups of patients prescribed the 2 treatments. Results: Treatment discontinuation due to AEs occurred more frequently with abemaciclib (12 patients) because of interstitial lung disease and hepatic and renal events than with palbociclib (5 patients; P = .008). Administration was interrupted in 57 (91.9%) and 35 (71.4%) patients treated with palbociclib and abemaciclib, respectively (P = .004). Dose reduction occurred in 37 (67.3%) and 19 (47.5%) patients treated with palbociclib and abemaciclib, respectively (P = .053). The median [range] treatment duration was 301 [21-1643] days for palbociclib and 238 [70-1526] days for abemaciclib (log-rank test, P = .581). The median RDI was 59.7% and 59.6% for palbociclib and abemaciclib, respectively (P = .539). Although the AEs of palbociclib and abemaciclib affected the treatment considerably, the treatment duration and RDI were similar. Conclusion: CDK4/6 inhibitors should be selected based on the tolerability and manageability of each AE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent large real-world study conducted in the United States reported the effectiveness of palbociclib plus aromatase inhibitor in HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). However, local clinical practice and available medical treatment can vary between Japan and Western countries. Thus, it is important to investigate Japanese real-world data. This observational, multicenter study (NCT05399329) reports the interim analysis of effectiveness of palbociclib plus ET as first-line or second-line treatment for HR+/HER2- ABC by estimating real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS) in Japanese routine clinical practice. METHODS Real-world clinical outcomes and treatment patterns of palbociclib plus ET were captured using a medical record review of patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- ABC who had received palbociclib plus ET in the first-line or second-line treatment across 20 sites in Japan. The primary endpoint was rwPFS; secondary endpoints were OS, real-world overall response rate, real-world clinical benefit rate, and chemotherapy-free survival. RESULTS Of the 677 eligible patients, 420 and 257 patients, respectively, had received palbociclib with ET as first-line and second-line treatments. Median rwPFS (95% confidence interval) was 24.5 months (19.9-29.4) for first-line and 14.5 months (10.2-19.0) for second-line treatment groups. Median OS was not reached in the first-line group and was 46.7 months (38.8-not estimated) for the second-line group. The 36-month OS rates for de novo metastasis, treatment-free interval (TFI) ≥ 12 months, and TFI < 12 months were 80.2% (69.1-87.7), 82.0% (70.7-89.3), and 66.0% (57.9-72.9), respectively. CONCLUSION The addition of palbociclib to ET was effective for treating HR+/HER2- ABC in Japanese routine clinical practice.

Real-world study of palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy for patients with metastatic breast cancer: A comparison of subsequent treatment patterns and HER2 expression analysis. Cancer 2024; 130:1476-1487. [PMID: 38198366 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.35174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy (ET) comprise the standard treatment for patients with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer. The optimal systematic treatment after progression on palbociclib and the role of HER2 expression among these patients remain unclear. METHODS The authors retrospectively identified 361 patients who received palbociclib combined with ET. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed based on subsequent treatments and HER2 status (PFSsub and OSsub, respectively). PFS1 and OS1 were calculated from palbociclib administration to disease progression/death and death from any cause, respectively. PFSsub and OSsub were calculated from subsequent treatment initiation. RESULTS The median PFS1 and OS1 were 10.2 and 39.9 months, respectively. The median PFSsub and OSsub of 111 patients (54.7%) who received chemotherapy were 4.9 months and 20.0 months, respectively, whereas those of 89 patients (43.8%) who received endocrine backbone therapy were 5.9 months and 29.3 months, respectively. Among them, 31 patients (15.3%) who received abemaciclib combined with new ET showed better PFSsub and OSsub (12.2 months and not reached, respectively). The median PFS1 was significantly shorter in the HER2-low subgroup than in the HER2-zero subgroup among patients who received second-line or later palbociclib (6.1 vs. 7.8 months; p = .040) but did not differ among patients who received first-line palbociclib. CONCLUSIONS Various regimens after palbociclib use were received. An improvement was noted in PFS among patients who received endocrine backbone therapy relative to chemotherapy, which may have been secondary to the receipt of chemotherapy by patients with more aggressive disease. HER2 status was not related to the effect of first-line palbociclib, but it may play a role in later lines.

Abstract
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), a nuclear transcription factor, is a well-validated therapeutic target for more than 70% of all breast cancers (BCs). Antagonizing ERα either by selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) forms the foundation of endocrine therapy and has achieved great success in the treatment of ERα positive (ERα+) BCs. Unfortunately, despite initial effectiveness, endocrine resistance eventually emerges in up to 30% of ERα+ BC patients and remains a significant medical challenge. Several mechanisms implicated in endocrine resistance have been extensively studied, including aberrantly activated growth factor receptors and downstream signaling pathways. Hence, the crosstalk between ERα and another oncogenic signaling has led to surge of interest to develop combination therapies and dual-target single agents. This review briefly introduces the synergisms between ERα and another anticancer target and summarizes the recent advances of ERα-based dual-targeting inhibitors from a medicinal chemistry perspective. Accordingly, their rational design strategies, structure-activity relationships (SARs) and biological activities are also dissected to provide some perspectives on future directions for ERα-based dual target drug discovery in BC therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Germany and worldwide. This retrospective claims data analysis utilizing data from AOK Baden-Wuerttemberg, a major statutory German health insurance provider, aimed to construct and assess a real-world data breast cancer disease model. The study included 27,869 female breast cancer patients and 55,738 age-matched controls, analyzing data from 2010 to 2020. Three distinct breast cancer stages were analyzed: Stage A (early breast cancer without lymph node involvement), Stage B (early breast cancer with lymph node involvement), and Stage C (primary distant metastatic breast cancer). Tumor subtypes were estimated based on the prescription of antihormonal or HER2-targeted therapy. The study established that 77.9% of patients had HR+ breast cancer and 9.8% HER2+; HR+/HER2- was the most common subtype (70.9%). Overall survival (OS) analysis demonstrated significantly lower survival rates for stages B and C than for controls, with 5-year OS rates ranging from 79.3% for stage B to 35.4% for stage C. OS rates were further stratified by tumor subtype and stage, revealing varying prognoses. Distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) analysis showed higher recurrence rates in stage B than in stage A, with HR-/HER2- displaying the worst DRFS. This study, the first to model breast cancer subtypes, stages, and outcomes using German claims data, provides valuable insights into real-world breast cancer epidemiology and demonstrates that this breast cancer disease model has the potential to be representative of treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Background BRCA2 plays a key role in homologous recombination. However, information regarding its mutations in Chinese patients with breast cancer remains limited. Objectives This study aimed to assess the clinicopathological characteristics of BRCA2 mutation breast cancer and explore the mutation's effect on hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer survival in China. Design This hospital-based cohort study prospectively included 629 women with breast cancer diagnosed from 2008 to 2023 at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital in China. Methods We compared the clinicopathological characteristics and metastatic patterns and analysed the invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) and first-line progression-free survival (PFS1) of patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer according to BRCA2 mutations. Results Among the 629 patients, 78 had BRCA2 mutations (12.4%) and 551 did not (87.6%). The mean age at diagnosis was lower in the BRCA2 mutation breast cancer group than in the non-mutation breast cancer group (38.91 versus 41.94 years, p = 0.016). BRCA2 mutation breast cancers were more likely to be lymph node-positive than non-mutation breast cancers (73.0% versus 56.6%, p = 0.037). The pathological grade was higher in 47.1% of BRCA2 mutation breast cancers than in 29.6% of non-mutation breast cancers (p = 0.014). The proportions of patients with BRCA2 mutations who developed contralateral breast cancer (19.2% versus 8.8%, p = 0.004), breast cancer in the family (53.8% versus 38.3%, p = 0.009) and ovarian cancer in the family (7.6% versus 2.4%, p = 0.022) were higher than those of patients without the mutation. The median follow-up time was 92.78 months. Multivariate analysis showed that BRCA2 mutation was not associated with poorer iDFS [hazard ratio = 0.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.64-1.27, p = 0.56] and poorer distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) (hazard ratio = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.61-1.93, p = 0.76). There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to metastatic patterns in the advanced disease setting. In the first-line metastatic breast cancer setting, PFS1 expression was broadly similar between the two groups irrespective of chemotherapy or endocrine therapy. Conclusion HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer with BRCA2 mutations differs from those without mutations in clinical behaviour and reflects more aggressive tumour behaviour. Our results indicate that BRCA2 mutations have no significant effect on the survival of Chinese women with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mammographic calcifications are a common feature of breast cancer, but their molecular characteristics and treatment implications in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer remain unclear. METHODS We retrospectively collected mammography records of an HR+/HER2- breast cancer cohort (n = 316) with matched clinicopathological, genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data. On the basis of mammographic images, we grouped tumors by calcification status into calcification-negative tumors, tumors with probably benign calcifications, tumors with calcification of low-moderate suspicion for maligancy and tumors with calcification of high suspicion for maligancy. We then explored the molecular characteristics associated with each calcification status across multiple dimensions. RESULTS Among the different statuses, tumors with probably benign calcifications exhibited elevated hormone receptor immunohistochemical staining scores, estrogen receptor (ER) pathway activation, lipid metabolism, and sensitivity to endocrine therapy. Tumors with calcifications of high suspicion for malignancy had relatively larger tumor sizes, elevated lymph node metastasis incidence, Ki-67 staining scores, genomic instability, cell cycle pathway activation, and may benefit from cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Our research established links between tumor calcifications and molecular features, thus proposing potential precision treatment strategies for HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Abstract
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) represents pre-invasive breast carcinoma. In untreated cases, 25-60% DCIS progress to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). The challenge lies in distinguishing between non-progressive and progressive DCIS, often resulting in over- or under-treatment in many cases. With increasing screen-detected DCIS in these years, the nature of DCIS has aroused worldwide attention. A deeper understanding of the biological nature of DCIS and the molecular journey of the DCIS-IDC transition is crucial for more effective clinical management. Here, we reviewed the key signaling pathways in breast cancer that may contribute to DCIS initiation and progression. We also explored the molecular features of DCIS and IDC, shedding light on the progression of DCIS through both inherent changes within tumor cells and alterations in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, valuable research tools utilized in studying DCIS including preclinical models and newer advanced technologies such as single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and artificial intelligence, have been systematically summarized. Further, we thoroughly discussed the clinical advancements in DCIS and IDC, including prognostic biomarkers and clinical managements, with the aim of facilitating more personalized treatment strategies in the future. Research on DCIS has already yielded significant insights into breast carcinogenesis and will continue to pave the way for practical clinical applications.

Abstract
Cancer is an abnormal proliferation of cells that is stimulated by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and defective cell cycle regulation. The essential agent that drive the cell cycle, CDK4/6, would be activated by proliferative signals. Activated CDK4/6 results in the phosphorylation of the neuroblastoma protein (RB) and the release of the transcription factor E2F, which promotes the cell cycle progression. CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) has been currently a research focus, which inhibits the CDK4/6-RB-E2F axis, thereby reducing the cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase and mediating the cell cycle arrest. This action helps achieve an anti-tumor effect. Recent research has demonstrated that CDK4/6i, in addition to contributing to cell cycle arrest, is also essential for the interaction between the tumor cells and the host immune system, i.e., activating the immune system, strengthening the tumor antigen presentation, and reducing the number of regulatory T cells (Treg). Additionally, CDK4/6i would elevate the level of PD-L1, an immunosuppressive factor, in tumor cells, and CDK4/6i in combination with anti-PD-L1 therapy would more effectively reduce the tumor growth. Our results showed that CDK4/6i caused autophagy and senescence in tumor cells. Herein, the impact of CDK4/6i on the immune microenvironment of malignant tumors was mainly focused, as well as their interaction with immune checkpoint inhibitors in affecting anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the relatively high cure rates in early-stage breast cancer, advanced and metastatic breast cancer cases are associated with more inauspicious patient outcomes. Fortunately, with the advent of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitors (e.g. palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib) with endocrine therapy, survival in advanced and metastatic breast cancer has appreciably improved. In the current review, we discuss these distinctions and the concomitant implications associated with the individual CDK4/6 inhibitors. DATA SOURCES We conducted an extensive PubMed search comprising several review articles on the topic of advanced or metastatic breast cancer treatment, with specific terms that included CDK4/6 inhibitors, treatment, and breast cancer. DATA SUMMARY Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib have exhibited superior progression-free survival differences compared to endocrine therapy alone. However, there are differences among the various CDK4/6 inhibitors with regard to overall survival, tolerability and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Ribociclib may be indicated for pre/perimenopausal patients, whereas abemaciclib is potentially recommended to address endocrine-resistant or visceral disease. Alternatively, palbociclib is associated with lower discontinuation rates than abemaciclib and unlike ribociclib, QTc prolongation is not observed with palbociclib.

Real-World Evidence of Ribociclib Plus Aromatase Inhibitors as First-Line Treatment in Advanced Breast Cancer: The BrasiLEEira Study. JCO Glob Oncol 2024; 10:e2300484.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cyclin inhibitors plus endocrine therapy represent the reference standard for hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (ABC). Efficacy results on hard end points such as overall survival come from well-designed randomized clinical trials (RCTs). However, a limitation of RCTs is the low external results validity, and their extrapolation to a broader population may not be appropriate. Real-world studies can overcome these limitations, also increasing the reliability of RCTs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The BrasiLEEira was an observational, longitudinal, retrospective, multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ribociclib plus nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors in Brazilian women age 18 years or older with HR+/HER2- ABC. The study was approved by the institutional review boards of all 11 hospitals. Data were collected anonymously from medical records using an electronic case report form designed by an independent academic research organization, which conducted the study considering all recommendations of international guidelines. The primary end point was 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Secondary end points included mortality, dose reduction, and safety. RESULTS The mean age of 76 patients was 57 years, and 28.9% were Black/Brown. The most prevalent comorbidity was arterial hypertension (34.7%). About 26.0% had endocrine-resistant disease, and 54.1% had more than three metastatic sites. The PFS rate was 77.6%. Three patients died (3.9%). Dose reductions occurred in 37.7% of patients. The most common adverse event was neutropenia (68.4%). CONCLUSION The high-quality evidence from the BrasiLEEira study corroborates the RCTs' findings, expanding its validity to a broader spectrum and underrepresented population who may benefit from ribociclib treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palbociclib and abemaciclib are cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors currently used to treat breast cancer. Although their therapeutic efficacies are considered comparable, differences in adverse event (AE) profiles of the two drugs remain unclear. AIM We analysed two real-world databases, the World Health Organization's VigiBase and the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), to identify differences in AE profiles of palbociclib and abemaciclib. METHOD Data of patients with breast cancer receiving palbociclib or abemaciclib recorded until December 2022 were extracted from the VigiBase and FAERS databases. In total, 200 types of AEs were analysed. The reporting odds ratios were calculated using a disproportionality analysis. RESULTS Cytopenia was frequently reported in patients receiving palbociclib, whereas interstitial lung disease and diarrhoea were frequently reported in those receiving abemaciclib. Moreover, psychiatric and nervous system disorders were more common in the palbociclib group, whereas renal and urinary disorders were more common in the abemaciclib group. CONCLUSION This study is the first to show comprehensively the disparities in the AE profiles of palbociclib and abemaciclib. The findings highlight the importance of considering these differences when selecting a suitable CDK4/6 inhibitor to ensure safe and favourable outcomes for patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have unprecedentedly advanced hormone-dependent breast cancer treatment paradigm. In the metastatic setting, ribociclib has consistently demonstrated survival benefit in pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal patients, conjugating efficacy with health-related quality of life preservation. Accordingly, the emergence of cardiac and/or vascular adverse events related to this novel targeted agent is gaining significant interest. This narrative review provides an overview of the incidence and spectrum of cardiovascular toxicity, in both clinical trial framework and real-world evidence. The potential pathogenetic mechanism, along with the available diagnostic parameters including biomarkers, and proper management, are also summarized.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The MonarchE trial explored the use of abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, as an adjuvant treatment in high-risk early-stage luminal-like breast cancer. The study's inclusion criteria, especially the N2 status, may require revisiting surgical interventions, including invasive axillary lymph node dissection (ALND)-a procedure that current guidelines generally do not recommend. METHODS We conducted a single-centre, retrospective, observational cohort study on non-metastatic breast cancer patients managed from 2002 to 2011, at the Institut Curie. Data collection involved clinical and histological characteristics plus treatment follow-up. RESULTS Out of 8715 treated patients, 721 met the inclusion criteria. Overall, 12% (87) were classified as N2 ( ≥ 4 positive lymph nodes), thus eligible for abemaciclib per "node criterion." Tumour size, positive sentinel lymph nodes, and lobular histology showed a significant correlation with N2 status. Approximately 1000 ALNDs would be required to identify 120 N2 cases and prevent four recurrences. CONCLUSION The MonarchE trial may significantly affect surgical practices due to the need for invasive procedures to identify high-risk patients for adjuvant abemaciclib treatment. The prospect of unnecessary morbidity demands less invasive N2 status determination methods. Surgical decisions must consider patient health and potential treatment benefits.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line therapy with palbociclib in a Spanish cohort treated after palbociclib approval. METHODS PALBOSPAIN is an observational, retrospective, multicenter study evaluating real-world patterns and outcomes with 1 L palbociclib in men and women (any menopausal status) with advanced HR+/HER2- BC diagnosed between November 2017 and November 2019. The primary endpoint was real-world progression-free survival (rw-PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), the real-world response rate (rw-RR), the clinical benefit rate, palbociclib dose reduction, and safety. RESULTS A total of 762 patients were included. The median rw-PFS and OS were 24 months (95% CI 21-27) and 42 months (40-not estimable [NE]) in the whole population, respectively. By cohort, the median rw-PFS and OS were as follows: 28 (95% CI 23-39) and 44 (95% CI 38-NE) months in patients with de novo metastatic disease, 13 (95% CI 11-17) and 36 months (95% CI 31-41) in patients who experienced relapse < 12 months after the end of ET, and 31 months (95% CI 26-37) and not reached (NR) in patients who experienced relapse > 12 months after the end of ET. rw-PFS and OS were longer in patients with oligometastasis and only one metastatic site and those with non-visceral disease. The most frequent hematologic toxicity was neutropenia (72%; grade ≥ 3: 52.5%), and the most common non-hematologic adverse event was asthenia (38%). CONCLUSION These findings, consistent with those from clinical trials, support use of palbociclib plus ET as 1 L for advanced BC in the real-world setting, including pre-menopausal women and men. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04874025 (PALBOSPAIN). Date of registration: 04/30/2021 retrospectively registered.

Kulkarni A, Singh J. Predicting drug-drug interactions in breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors and forward planning. Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol 2024; 20:225-233. [PMID: 38600865 DOI: 10.1080/17425255.2024.2341810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors are cornerstones in the treatment of Hormone Receptor (HR) positive and Human Epidermal Growth factor (HER2) negative metastatic breast cancer. Given their widespread use in the metastatic setting and emerging use in the adjuvant setting, studying drug-drug interactions (DDI) of these medications is of utmost importance. AREAS COVERED This review provides key background information on the CDK4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib. We discuss drug-drug interactions including those with proton pump inhibitors as well as CYP3A substrates, inhibitors, and inducers. We describe the effect of these drugs on membrane transporters and their substrates as well as those drugs that increase risk of CDK4/6 toxicities. Finally, we explore future directions for strategies to minimize drug-drug interactions. EXPERT OPINION It is crucial to be mindful of medications that may interfere with drug absorption, such as proton pump inhibitors, as well as those that interfere with drug metabolism, such as CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Additionally, special consideration should be given to populations at higher risk for polypharmacy, such as older patients with greater comorbidities. These interactions and patient characteristics should be considered when developing individual treatment plans with CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess real-world treatment patterns in patients diagnosed with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who received cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant at first line. METHODS Patient characteristics, treatment history, and outcomes data were extracted from the French 'Système National des Données de Santé' (SNDS) database for patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2- mBC between January 2014 and June 2019 and who received combination therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to assess time to next treatment (TTNT) and time to treatment discontinuation (TTTD). RESULTS The cohort comprised 6061 patients including 4032 patients who received CDK4/6 inhibitors + AIs and 2029 patients who received CDK4/6 inhibitors + fulvestrant. Median follow-up was 13.5 months (IQR 9.5-18.1). The median TTTD of first line treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors + AIs and CDK4/6 inhibitors + fulvestrant was 17.3 months (95% CI 16.8-17.9) and 9.7 months (95% CI 9.0-10.2), respectively. Chemotherapy was the most common second line therapy. Median TTTD of subsequent treatment lines was progressively shorter following first line treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors + AIs (2nd line: 4.6 months (95% CI 4.4-4.9) and with CDK4/6 inhibitors + fulvestrant (2nd line: 4.7 months (95% CI 4.3-5.1). TTNT was longer than TTTD across lines of therapy. CONCLUSION This real-world analysis confirms the effectiveness of CDK4/6 inhibitor-based regimens in French patients and highlights the frequent use of chemotherapy as second line therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 inhibitors (CDK 4/6i) combined with endocrine therapy have become the gold standard in hormone receptor-positive (HR +) HER2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, there is a significant lack of data regarding the efficacy and safety of these treatments in elderly patients. We present the results of a real-world data (RWD) cohort stratified by age at treatment initiation (≥ 70 years compared to patients < 70 years). METHODS Clinico-pathological data of HR + HER2- MBC patients who were candidates for CDK4/6i therapy between January 2017 and December 2020 at the Institut Català d'Oncologia (Spain) were retrospectively collected. The primary goal was to assess Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), and safety outcomes within this patient population. RESULTS A total of 274 patients with MBC who received CDK4/6i treatment were included in the study. Among them, 84 patients (30.8%) were aged ≥ 70 years, with a mean age of 75, while 190 patients (69.2%) were under the age of 70, with a mean age of 55.7 years. The most frequently observed grade 3-4 toxicity was neutropenia, with similar rates in both the < 70 group (43.9%) and the ≥ 70 group (47.9%) (p = 0.728). The median Progression-Free Survival (mPFS) for the first-line CDK4/6i treatment was 22 months (95% CI, 15.4-39.8) in the < 70 group and 20.8 months (95% CI 11.2-NR) in the ≥ 70 group (p = 0.67). Similarly, the median PFS for the second-line CDK4/6i treatment was 10.4 months (95% CI, 7.4-15.1) and 7.1 months (95% CI 4.4-21.3) (p = 0.79), respectively. Median overall survival (mOS) was not reached either for the first- and second-line treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our RWD suggests that elderly patients, when compared to those under 70, experience similar survival outcomes and exhibit comparable tolerance for CDK4/6i therapy.

Ribociclib plus Endocrine Therapy in Early Breast Cancer. N Engl J Med 2024; 390:1080-1091.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ribociclib has been shown to have a significant overall survival benefit in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer. Whether this benefit in advanced breast cancer extends to early breast cancer is unclear. METHODS In this international, open-label, randomized, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer in a 1:1 ratio to receive ribociclib (at a dose of 400 mg per day for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week off, for 3 years) plus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI; letrozole at a dose of 2.5 mg per day or anastrozole at a dose of 1 mg per day for ≥5 years) or an NSAI alone. Premenopausal women and men also received goserelin every 28 days. Eligible patients had anatomical stage II or III breast cancer. Here we report the results of a prespecified interim analysis of invasive disease-free survival, the primary end point; other efficacy and safety results are also reported. Invasive disease-free survival was evaluated with the use of the Kaplan-Meier method. The statistical comparison was made with the use of a stratified log-rank test, with a protocol-specified stopping boundary of a one-sided P-value threshold of 0.0128 for superior efficacy. RESULTS As of the data-cutoff date for this prespecified interim analysis (January 11, 2023), a total of 426 patients had had invasive disease, recurrence, or death. A significant invasive disease-free survival benefit was seen with ribociclib plus an NSAI as compared with an NSAI alone. At 3 years, invasive disease-free survival was 90.4% with ribociclib plus an NSAI and 87.1% with an NSAI alone (hazard ratio for invasive disease, recurrence, or death, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.62 to 0.91; P = 0.003). Secondary end points - distant disease-free survival and recurrence-free survival - also favored ribociclib plus an NSAI. The 3-year regimen of ribociclib at a 400-mg starting dose plus an NSAI was not associated with any new safety signals. CONCLUSIONS Ribociclib plus an NSAI significantly improved invasive disease-free survival among patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative stage II or III early breast cancer.

PRMT5 is an actionable therapeutic target in CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer. Nat Commun 2024; 15:2287. [PMID: 38480701 PMCID: PMC10937713 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-46495-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have improved survival of patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, patients treated with CDK4/6i eventually develop drug resistance and progress. RB1 loss-of-function alterations confer resistance to CDK4/6i, but the optimal therapy for these patients is unclear. Through a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we identify protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a molecular vulnerability in ER+/RB1-knockout breast cancer cells. Inhibition of PRMT5 blocks the G1-to-S transition in the cell cycle independent of RB, leading to growth arrest in RB1-knockout cells. Proteomics analysis uncovers fused in sarcoma (FUS) as a downstream effector of PRMT5. Inhibition of PRMT5 results in dissociation of FUS from RNA polymerase II, leading to hyperphosphorylation of serine 2 in RNA polymerase II, intron retention, and subsequent downregulation of proteins involved in DNA synthesis. Furthermore, treatment with the PRMT5 inhibitor pemrametostat and a selective ER degrader fulvestrant synergistically inhibits growth of ER+/RB-deficient cell-derived and patient-derived xenografts. These findings highlight dual ER and PRMT5 blockade as a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance to CDK4/6i in ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer.

Application of fluorocarbon nanoparticles of 131I-fulvestrant as a targeted radiation drug for endocrine therapy on human breast cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:107. [PMID: 38475902 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02309-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, with hormone receptor-positive cases constituting 70%. Fulvestrant, an antagonist for these receptors, is utilized for advanced metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Yet, its inhibitory effect on tumor cells is not strong, and it lacks direct cytotoxicity. Consequently, there's a significant challenge in preventing recurrence and metastasis once cancer cells develop resistance to fulvestrant. METHOD To address these challenges, we engineered tumor-targeting nanoparticles termed 131I-fulvestrant-ALA-PFP-FA-NPs. This involved labeling fulvestrant with 131I to create 131I-fulvestrant. Subsequently, we incorporated the 131I-fulvestrant and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into fluorocarbon nanoparticles with folate as the targeting agent. This design facilitates a tri-modal therapeutic approach-endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and PDT for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. RESULTS Our in vivo and in vitro tests showed that the drug-laden nanoparticles effectively zeroed in on tumors. This targeting efficiency was corroborated using SPECT-CT imaging, confocal microscopy, and small animal fluorescence imaging. The 131I-fulvestrant-ALA-PFP-FA-NPs maintained stability and showcased potent antitumor capabilities due to the synergism of endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and CR-PDT. Throughout the treatment duration, we detected no notable irregularities in hematological, biochemical, or histological evaluations. CONCLUSION We've pioneered a nanoparticle system loaded with radioactive isotope 131I, endocrine therapeutic agents, and a photosensitizer precursor. This system offers a combined modality of radiotherapy, endocrine treatment, and PDT for breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Established prognostic factors for treatment response to cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitors are currently lacking. We aimed to investigate the relationship of pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) to abemaciclib outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of data from MONARCH 2, a phase III study of abemaciclib or placebo plus fulvestrant in hormone-receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer that progressed on endocrine therapy. Patients were divided into high and low categories based on baseline NLR (cutoff: 2.5) and ALC (cutoff: 1.5 × 109/L). The association of baseline NLR and ALC with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was explored using Cox models and Kaplan-Meier estimates. Tumor response and safety were also examined. RESULTS NLR and ALC data were available for 645 patients (abemaciclib: N = 426; placebo: N = 219). Low-baseline NLR or high-baseline ALC was consistently associated with positive PFS and OS trends; low-baseline NLR subgroups also showed trends for better response. The abemaciclib treatment effect against placebo was observed regardless of baseline NLR or ALC. Univariate analyses showed baseline NLR and ALC were prognostic of PFS and OS. Baseline NLR remained significant in the multivariate model (P < .0001). No unexpected differences in safety were observed by baseline NLR or ALC. CONCLUSION Baseline NLR was independently prognostic of PFS and OS. Low-baseline NLR was associated with numerically better efficacy outcomes, but the benefit of adding abemaciclib to fulvestrant was similar irrespective of baseline NLR status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcomas are a heterogenous collection of bone and soft tissue tumors. The heterogeneity of these tumors makes it difficult to standardize treatment. CDK 4/6 inhibitors are a family of targeted agents which limit cell cycle progression and have been shown to be upregulated in sarcomas. In the current preclinical study, we evaluated the effects of lerociclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, on pediatric sarcomas in vitro and in 3D bioprinted tumors. METHODS The effects of lerociclib on viability, proliferation, cell cycle, motility, and stemness were assessed in established sarcoma cell lines, U-2 OS and MG-63, as well as sarcoma patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). 3D printed biotumors of each of the U-2 OS, MG-63, and COA79 cells were utilized to study the effects of lerociclib on tumor growth ex vivo. RESULTS CDK 4/6, as well as the intermediaries retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and phosphorylated Rb were identified as targets in the four sarcoma cell lines. Lerociclib treatment induced cell cycle arrest, decreased proliferation, motility, and stemness of sarcoma cells. Treatment with lerociclib decreased sarcoma cell viability in both traditional 2D culture as well as 3D bioprinted microtumors. CONCLUSIONS Inhibition of CDK 4/6 activity with lerociclib was efficacious in traditional 2D sarcoma cell culture as well as in 3D bioprints. Lerociclib holds promise and warrants further investigation as a novel therapeutic strategy for management of these heterogenous groups of tumors.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is thought to play an important role in driving proliferation of certain cancers, including those harboring CCNE1 amplification and breast cancers that have acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i). The precise impact of pharmacologic inhibition of CDK2 is not known due to the lack of selective CDK2 inhibitors. Here we describe INX-315, a novel and potent CDK2 inhibitor with high selectivity over other CDK family members. Using cell-based assays, patient-derived xenografts (PDX), and transgenic mouse models, we show that INX-315 (i) promotes retinoblastoma protein hypophosphorylation and therapy-induced senescence (TIS) in CCNE1-amplified tumors, leading to durable control of tumor growth; (ii) overcomes breast cancer resistance to CDK4/6i, restoring cell cycle control while reinstating the chromatin architecture of CDK4/6i-induced TIS; and (iii) delays the onset of CDK4/6i resistance in breast cancer by driving deeper suppression of E2F targets. Our results support the clinical development of selective CDK2 inhibitors. SIGNIFICANCE INX-315 is a novel, selective inhibitor of CDK2. Our preclinical studies demonstrate activity for INX-315 in both CCNE1-amplified cancers and CDK4/6i-resistant breast cancer. In each case, CDK2 inhibition induces cell cycle arrest and a phenotype resembling cellular senescence. Our data support the development of selective CDK2 inhibitors in clinical trials.

Abstract
Dysregulated cellular proliferation represents a hallmark feature across all cancers. Aberrant activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) pathway, independent of mitogenic signaling, engenders uncontrolled breast cancer cell proliferation. Consequently, the advent of CDK4/6 inhibition has constituted a pivotal milestone in the realm of targeted breast cancer therapy. The combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) with endocrine therapy (ET) has emerged as the foremost therapeutic modality for patients afflicted with hormone receptor-positive (HR + )/HER2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer. At present, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sanctioned various CDK4/6i for employment as the primary treatment regimen in HR + /HER2- breast cancer. This therapeutic approach has demonstrated a substantial extension of progression-free survival (PFS), often amounting to several months, when administered alongside endocrine therapy. Within this comprehensive review, we systematically evaluate the utilization strategies of CDK4/6i across various subpopulations of breast cancer and explore potential therapeutic avenues following disease progression during application of CDK4/6i therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The MONALEESA-2, -3, -7 trials demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) benefits with ribociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) versus ET alone in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC). Understanding the association of intrinsic subtypes with survival outcomes could potentially guide treatment decisions. Here, we evaluated the association of intrinsic subtypes with OS in MONALEESA-2, -3, -7. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tumor samples from MONALEESA-2, -3, -7 underwent PAM50-based subtyping. The relationship between subtypes and OS was assessed using univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Multivariable models were adjusted for clinical prognostic factors. RESULTS Overall, 990 tumors (among 2,066 patients) from ribociclib (n = 580) and placebo (n = 410) arms were profiled. Subtype distribution was luminal A, 54.5%; luminal B, 28.0%; HER2-enriched (HER2E) 14.6%; and basal-like, 2.8%; and was consistent across treatment arms. The luminal A subtype had the best OS outcomes in both arms, while basal-like had the worst. Patients with HER2E (HR, 0.60; P = 0.018), luminal B (HR, 0.69; P = 0.023), and luminal A (HR, 0.75; P = 0.021) subtypes derived OS benefit with ribociclib. Patients with basal-like subtype did not derive benefit from ribociclib (HR, 1.92; P = 0.137); however, patient numbers were small (n = 28). CONCLUSIONS The prognostic value of intrinsic subtypes for OS was confirmed in this pooled analysis of the MONALEESA trials (largest dataset in HR+/HER2- ABC). While basal-like subtype did not benefit, a consistent OS benefit was observed with ribociclib added to ET across luminal and HER2E subtypes.

Abstract
Fulvestrant is used to treat patients with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer, but acquired resistance is poorly understood. PlasmaMATCH Cohort A (NCT03182634) investigated the activity of fulvestrant in patients with activating ESR1 mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Baseline ESR1 mutations Y537S are associated with poor outcomes and Y537C with good outcomes. Sequencing of baseline and EOT ctDNA samples (n = 69) revealed 3/69 (4%) patients acquired novel ESR1 F404 mutations (F404L, F404I, and F404V), in cis with activating mutations. In silico modeling revealed that ESR1 F404 contributes to fulvestrant binding to estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) through a pi-stacking bond, with mutations disrupting this bond. In vitro analysis demonstrated that single F404L, E380Q, and D538G models were less sensitive to fulvestrant, whereas compound mutations D538G + F404L and E380Q + F404L were resistant. Several oral ERα degraders were active against compound mutant models. We have identified a resistance mechanism specific to fulvestrant that can be targeted by treatments in clinical development. SIGNIFICANCE Novel F404 ESR1 mutations may be acquired to cause overt resistance to fulvestrant when combined with preexisting activating ESR1 mutations. Novel combinations of mutations in the ER ligand binding domain may cause drug-specific resistance, emphasizing the potential of similar drug-specific mutations to impact the efficacy of oral ER degraders in development.

Abstract
Individual trials of abemaciclib, palbociclib, and ribociclib show a similar impact on progression-free survival yet differing statistical significance for overall survival (OS). A robust comparative evaluation of OS, safety, and tolerability of the three drugs is warranted. A systematic literature search identified phase 3 randomized clinical trials reporting OS of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) in combination with endocrine therapy in ER-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Trial-level data on OS and common and serious adverse events (AE) were extracted for each drug. In the absence of direct comparisons, a network meta-analysis was performed to evaluate pairwise comparative efficacy, safety, and tolerability of each of the CDK4/6i. Seven studies comprising of 4415 patients met the inclusion criteria. Median follow-up was 73.3 months (range: 48.7-97.2 months). There were no statistically significant differences in OS between any of the CDK4/6i. Compared to palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib both showed significantly higher GI toxicity (grade 1-2 vomiting OR 1.87 [95% CI 1.37-2.56] and OR 2.27 [95% CI 1.59-3.23] respectively). Compared to palbociclib, abemaciclib was associated with more grade 3-4 diarrhea OR 118.06 [95% CI 7.28-1915.32]. In contrast, palbociclib was associated with significantly more neutropenia than ribociclib and abemaciclib but significantly lower risk of grade 3-4 infections. Abemaciclib had significantly less grade 3-4 transaminitis and grade 3-4 neutropenia than ribociclib. Treatment discontinuation and death due to AE were significantly higher with abemaciclib than palbociclib and ribociclib. There is no statistically significant difference in OS between CDK4/6i despite differing statistical significance levels of individual trials. Real-world data analyses may help to identify if there is a meaningful inter-drug difference in efficacy. Significant differences between CDK4/6i are observed for safety and tolerability outcomes.
