Abstract
Purpose
We aimed to answer the following question: How effective is the addition of AKT inhibitors to the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer?
Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated AKT inhibitors for advanced or metastatic BC. We computed hazard-ratios (HRs) for binary endpoints.
Results
A total of 5 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, comprising 1,334 patients with BC. The use of AKT inhibitors demonstrated a significant improvement in OS (HR 0.70; 95% CI, 0.58-0.85; P < .001) and PFS (HR 0.6797; 95% CI, 0.5499-0.8403; P < .001) in the overall population. Within the PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered subgroup (n = 645), the OS rate also significantly favored AKT inhibitors over the control group (HR 0.62; 95% CI, 0.42-0.92; P = .019), as well as PFS (HR 0.5224; 95% CI, 0.3366-0.8105; P = .004).
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the incorporation of AKT inhibitors holds promise for treating patients with advanced or metastatic PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered BC.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Breast Cancer is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of breast cancer. Clinical Breast Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to breast cancer. Specific areas of interest include clinical research reports from various therapeutic modalities, cancer genetics, drug sensitivity and resistance, novel imaging, tumor genomics, biomarkers, and chemoprevention strategies.
