Introduction Cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 inhibitors (CDK 4/6i) combined with endocrine therapy have become the gold standard in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) HER2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, there is a signifcant lack of data regarding the efcacy and safety of these treatments in elderly patients. We present the results of a real-world data (RWD) cohort stratifed by age at treatment initiation (≥70 years compared to patients<70 years).
Methods Clinico-pathological data of HR+HER2- MBC patients who were candidates for CDK4/6i therapy between January 2017 and December 2020 at the Institut Català d'Oncologia (Spain) were retrospectively collected. The primary goal was to assess Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), and safety outcomes within this patient population.
Results A total of 274 patients with MBC who received CDK4/6i treatment were included in the study. Among them, 84 patients (30.8%) were aged≥70 years, with a mean age of 75, while 190 patients (69.2%) were under the age of 70, with a mean age of 55.7 years. The most frequently observed grade 3–4 toxicity was neutropenia, with similar rates in both the<70 group (43.9%) and the≥70 group (47.9%) (p=0.728). The median Progression-Free Survival (mPFS) for the frst-line CDK4/6i treatment was 22 months (95% CI, 15.4–39.8) in the<70 group and 20.8 months (95% CI 11.2–NR) in the≥70 group (p=0.67). Similarly, the median PFS for the second-line CDK4/6i treatment was 10.4 months (95% CI, 7.4–15.1) and 7.1 months (95% CI 4.4–21.3) (p=0.79), respectively. Median overall survival (mOS) was not reached either for the first- and second-line treatment.
Conclusions Our RWD suggests that elderly patients, when compared to those under 70, experience similar survival outcomes and exhibit comparable tolerance for CDK4/6i therapy.
