ABSTRACT
Objective:
Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitors (abemaciclib, palbociclib and ribociclib) have been recommended in the first-line treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer in China. Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CDK4/6 inhibitors by processing survival data using fractional polynomial modeling methods.Methods:
Phase II or III randomized controlled trials in treatment-naive HR + patients with advanced breast cancer were systematically searched through the preset search strategy. The fractional polynomial (FP) model was used to relax the proportional hazard assumption and obtain time-varying hazard ratio (HR). Progression-free life years (PFLYs) and life years (LYs) were calculated from the area under curve (AUC) of the predicted progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) curves to evaluate the long-term efficacy benefit. Odds ratio (OR) of grade≥3 adverse events were analyzed for safety outcomes.Results:
6 randomized controlled trials with 2,638 patients were included. The first-order FP model (p = -1) and the first-order FP model (p = 1) were used to calculate the time-varying HR of PFS and OS, respectively. Extrapolating to 240 months, abemaciclib obtained a PFS benefit of 3.059 PFLYs and 6.275 LYs by calculating the AUC of the PFS and OS curves. Palbociclib obtained 2.302 PFLYs and 6.351 LYs. Ribociclib obtained 2.636 PFLYs and 6.543 LYs. In terms of safety, the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors resulted in a higher risk of adverse events (OR = 9.84, 95% CI 8.13-11.95), especially for palbociclib (OR = 14.04, 95% CI 10.52-18.90).Conclusion:
The use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in treatment-naive patients with HR + advanced breast cancer significantly improves survival, but also increases the risk of adverse events. Abemaciclib and ribociclib may be the best options for prolonging PFS and OS in treatment-naïve patients, respectively.
