How Overall Survival is Conditioned in the Progression to Treatment with Cyclin Inhibitors Plus Endocrine Treatment in Metastatic Breast Cancer with Luminal Phenotype.

e13079 Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrinotherapy (ET) is the standard first-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer with a luminal phenotype. However, the response to this treatment is highly dependent on its previous efficacy. Methods: We analyzed the overall survival in a cohort of 127 patients with metastatic luminal breast cancer in progression after treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus ET. Results: The median age of the group was 67 years (41-96), the interval time between initial diagnosis and first recurrence was 0 in 41 (32%), 1-60 months in 37 (29%) and more than 60 months in 39 (38%). The first line in the metastatic setting was CDK4/6 plus ET in 81 patients (64%), ET in 15 (12%) and 31 (24%) were treated with chemotherapy. The status of HER2 expression was HER2 low in 77% and 43 % had visceral metastases disease. The median progression-free survival for the patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus ET was 9 months, with a total of deaths of 69 (55%). Overall survival after progression on CDK4/6 plus ET was 38 months (28 – 47) and the most important factor for overall survival was the response time to treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus ET. Conclusions: The most important factor for overall survival is the duration of treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus ET. Patients with a response time of less than 6 months had a median overall survival after progression of 11 months (3 – 19), while the 6- to 12-month group had a median of 39 months (19 – 59) and the group with more than 12 months had the best prognosis with a median overall survival of 53 months (37 – 68). We need to improve the new treatment options for patients who respond for less than 6 months to treatment with CDK4/6 plus ET.
