Palbociclib: Randomized Studies and Real-world Evidence as the Basis for Therapeutic Planning in Metastatic Breast Cancer
Article in several languages: English | deutsch
Abstract
Endocrine-based combination therapy with an inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6 inhibitors) is currently the first-line therapy of choice for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−), locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The efficacy and safety of the treatment with palbociclib, the first CDK4/6 inhibitor approved for this indication, have been confirmed in large randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) with strictly defined patient cohorts. Since then, many relevant questions about CDK4/6 inhibition with palbociclib for mBC have been investigated in RCTs and real-world studies. Based on this evidence, palbociclib is widely used in clinical practice since many years because of its efficacy and good tolerability.
The aim of this review is to summarize findings from RCTs and RWE considering clinically relevant aspects such as safety, tolerability, quality of life and efficacy with a focus on specific questions and patient characteristics. A critical discussion and review of the overall evidence for endocrine-based therapy with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib can contribute to support therapy decisions in daily clinical practice.
