Abstract
Background: Ribociclib (RIB), a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) yielded significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) across three phase III MONALEESA trials including patients (pts) with hormone receptor–positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2–) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in first-line (1L) and second-line (2L) setting. In the previous interim analyses of REACH AUT trial, 1L RIB + ET showed tolerable safety and favorable PFS results in a real-world setting. Results from the preplanned fourth interim analysis are reported here. Methods: REACH AUT is a noninterventional study conducted in Austria reporting data on the real-world clinical experience of RIB + ET (aromatase inhibitor [AI] or fulvestrant [FUL]) in premenopausal, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal pts with HR+, HER2– MBC. Pts with no prior ET for advanced disease and maximum up to 1 prior line of chemotherapy (CT) in the advanced setting were included. Results: At data cutoff (March 27, 2023) with a median duration of follow-up of 23.8 months, out of 281 analyzed pts (12.5% of premenopausal/perimenopausal and 85.1% of postmenopausal, 2.5% of unknown status) 31.7% of pts were receiving ongoing treatment. The most common reasons for treatment discontinuations (68.3%) were disease progression (39.1%) and adverse events (AEs, 22.1%). The median age was 63 years (&lt; 65 years, n=156, 55.5%; ≥65 years, n=125, 44.5%) and ECOG PS ≥2: 1.8%. In 106 pts (37.7%), de novo metastatic disease was reported. Visceral metastases (lung, liver) were present in 116 pts (41.3%) and bone-only metastases in 80 pts (28.5%). Prior adjuvant therapy was received by 139 pts (49.5%): AI ± GnRH: n=80 (26.7% without and 1.8% with GnRH); tamoxifen ± GnRH: n=74 (21.7% without and 4.6% with GnRH); CT: n=56 (19.9%); antibody therapy n=3 (1.1%). In the metastatic setting, 1L RIB was prescribed in combination with an AI in 223 pts (79.4%; letrozole: n=139 [49.5%]; anastrozole: n=48 [17.1%]; exemestane: n=47 [16.7%]) and with FUL in 52 pts (18.5%). Prior CT for MBC was received by 5 pts (1.8%). The median PFS was 29.7 months in the overall population; 28.3 months in pts with bone only and 26.9 months in pts with visceral metastatic disease. In pts evaluable for response, the objective response rate and clinical benefit rate were 31.3% and 60.9%, respectively. The OS rates were 91.9%, 81.7%, and 63.7% at 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months, respectively. The trial is ongoing with ~40% of subjects end of documentation and ~27% of deaths. In total, 69.4% of pts had RIB dose interruptions and 48.8% of pts had a RIB dose reduction. The majority of all reported AEs were grade 1 (50.1%) or grade 2 (31.2%); the median time to first AE was 0.5 months. The most common AE was neutropenia (all grades: n=143, 50.9%; grade 1: n=39, 13.9%; grade 2: n=68, 24.2%; grade 3: n=98, 34.9%; grade 4: n=5, 1.8%). QTc prolongation of any grade was observed in 32 pts (11.4%; grade 1: n=24, 8.5%; grade 2: n=11, 3.9%; grade 3: n=1, 0.4%). Hepatobiliary toxicity of any grade was observed in 42 pts (14.9%; grade 1: n=12, 4.3%; grade 2: n=18, 6.4%; grade 3: n=22, 7.8%; grade 4: n=3, 1.1%). Overall, currently 101 pts (35.9%) received a follow-up therapy after progression on RIB + ET. The most common first subsequent therapies were targeted therapies + ET (40.0%), followed by cytotoxic chemotherapy (22.0%) and endocrine monotherapy (19.0%). Conclusion: 1L RIB + ET continues to show favorable efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in the routine clinical practice. The results are consistent with the data from MONALEESA trials. The OS is showing a positive trend but is still immature during this study follow-up.
