Abstract
Background: Palbociclib is a cornerstone treatment for patients with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, metastatic breast cancer.
Research design and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 140 patients who were resistant to endocrine therapy and received palbociclib in combination with endocrine therapy. It is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of palbociclib and to identify factors influencing progression-free survival and overall survival.
Results: A total of 140 were enrolled in the study; 57 and 83 patients were primary and secondary resistance to endocrine therapy, respectively. In the whole cohort, regarding progression-free survival; low Ki-67 and incidence of moderate-to-severe (grade 3/4) neutropenia were associated with longer median progression-free survival with p-values of 0.004 (3.7 vs. 8.4 months) and 0.026 (4.7 vs. 6.5 months), respectively. Regarding overall survival, duration on palbociclib (≥12 months) had longer overall survival compared with patients who received palbociclib <12 months (p = 0.0012). The overall survival was longer in the secondary-resistant group than in the primary-resistant group (log-rank test p = 0.0003).
Conclusion: In a metastatic setting, low Ki-67 and moderate-to-severe neutropenia are associated with better survival outcomes in endocrine resistant patients treated with palbociclib (Clinical trial registration: www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier is NCT06338644).
背景:帕博西尼是激素受体阳性和人表皮生长因子受体2阴性转移性乳腺癌患者的基础治疗。研究设计与方法:本回顾性队列研究纳入140例内分泌治疗耐药患者,接受帕博西尼联合内分泌治疗。目的是评估帕博西尼的疗效和耐受性,并确定影响无进展生存期和总生存期的因素。结果:共有140人入组;原发性耐药57例,继发性耐药83例。在整个队列中,关于无进展生存期;低Ki-67和中重度(3/4级)中性粒细胞减少的发生率与较长的中位无进展生存期相关,p值分别为0.004 (3.7 vs 8.4个月)和0.026 (4.7 vs 6.5个月)。关于总生存期,帕博西尼的持续时间(≥12个月)比接受帕博西尼的患者的总生存期更长。结论:在转移性环境中,低Ki-67和中重度中性粒细胞减少与接受帕博西尼治疗的内分泌抵抗患者的生存结局相关。(临床试验注册:www.clinicaltrials.gov标识符:NCT06338644)。
