Abstract PS10-16: Real-world efficacy of ribociclib + aromatase inhibitor/fulvestrant, or endocrine monotherapy, or chemotherapy as first-line treatment in women with HR-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer: Third interim analysis from the RIBANNA study
Abstract Background: In MONALEESA-3 and MONALEESA-7 trials, ribociclib (RIB, a selective CDK4/6 inhibitor) in combination with endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor [AI] or fulvestrant [FUL]) demonstrated a significant prolongation of overall survival among patients with breast cancer (BC), regardless of menopausal status and treatment-line. In the premenopausal or perimenopausal women, RIB + AI/FUL should be combined with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist. The real-world evidence for the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of RIB + AI/FUL in the routine clinical practice is needed to support the use of this combination. Methods: RIBANNA is a prospective, non-intervention…
Impact of trastuzumab treatment beyond disease progression for advanced/metastatic breast cancer on survival - results from a prospective, observational study in Germany.
Abstract Objectives Evidence suggests that continued trastuzumab therapy beyond progression (TBP) may provide additional survival benefit. Within the framework of an observational prospective study of patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer receiving trastuzumab in routine clinical practice, we had the opportunity to examine the effect of TBP in a large population. Patients and methods Among a total of 1843 trastuzumab-treated patients, a sub-cohort of 418 fulfilled the selection criteria for the TBP analysis: 261 continued trastuzumab and 157 discontinued. Logrank tests and Cox models were used to compare survival and identify prognostic factors. Results Survival from progression w…
