Abstract Background: Combination cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) is a standard-of-care treatment for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) advanced breast cancer (ABC). However, disease progression inevitably occurs during CDK4/6i + ET treatment, highlighting the need for effective subsequent regimens. TRINITI-1 (NCT02732119) assessed triplet therapy with CDK4/6i ribociclib (RIB), mTORi everolimus (EVE), and ET exemestane (EXE) in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2− ABC who experienced disease progression on CDK4/6i treatment. We previously reported pooled Phase I/II results from TRINITI-1 demonstrating promising efficacy (per investigator assessment) and tolerability with RIB + EVE + EXE triplet therapy (Bardia, et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2021). Here we present the final efficacy (central review and OS) and safety data from the phase 2 study, and the final biomarker data. Methods: TRINITI-1 was a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study that enrolled postmenopausal women with ET-refractory HR+/HER2− ABC with most recent disease progression after ≥ 4 months of CDK4/6i treatment. Pts received once-daily, oral EXE 25 mg with either RIB 300 mg + EVE 2.5 mg (group 1) or RIB 200 mg + EVE 5 mg (group 2); all pts were given a prophylactic steroid mouthwash. Group 1 was enrolled first, followed by group 2; both began enrollment in phase 1 and were expanded in phase 2. Endpoints included clinical benefit rate (CBR) by 24 weeks (primary endpoint), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), tumor response, and safety/tolerability. Results: A total of 79 pts (n = 46, group 1; n = 33, group 2) were enrolled and treated. Median age was 58.0 years (range, 32.0-83.0 years) and median prior CDK4/6i duration was 12.1 months (range, 3.5-34.0 months). As of the cutoff date (June 15, 2020), 73 pts (92.4%) had discontinued study treatment; the primary reasons included progressive disease (67.1%) and physician decision (16.5%). The CBR by week 24 (central review) was 65.2% and 59.4% for groups 1 and 2, respectively; the objective response rate was 6.5% and 9.4%, respectively (Table). Median PFS by central review was 8.0 months in group 1 and 4.7 months in group 2. For pts with ≥ 12 months of prior CDK4/6i, median PFS was 12.8 months in group 1 and 5.5 months in group 2; for those with &amp;lt; 12 months of prior CDK4/6i, median PFS was 5.3 months in group 1 and 3.6 months in group 2. Biomarker analysis showed numerically shorter median PFS when tumors expressed ESR1 or PIK3CA alterations. Median OS was 27.4 months in group 1 and not reached (NR) in group 2 at study end. For pts with ≥ 12 months of prior CDK4/6i, median OS was NR in both groups, and was 20.3 months (group 1) and 18.8 months (group 2) for pts with &amp;lt; 12 months of prior CDK4/6i. The most common all-grade adverse events were stomatitis (54.3%), infections (50.0%), neutropenia (43.5%), and fatigue (43.5%) in group 1, and infections (48.5%), nausea (42.4%), stomatitis (36.4%), and thrombocytopenia (36.4%) in group 2. There was no grade &amp;gt; 2 QTc prolongation. Conclusions: Results from TRINITI-1 demonstrate that triplet therapy with RIB + EVE + EXE is a relatively well tolerated and clinically active regimen directly following treatment with a CDK4/6i. There was a trend toward better outcomes in pts with longer durations of prior CDK4/6i treatment, wild-type ESR1, and wild-type PIK3CA. Tumor response by central reviewGroup 1: RIB 300 mg,.
