e12543 Background: Previously, the treatment of hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (aBC) has relied solely on endocrine therapy (ET). Unfortunately, almost all tumors developed resistance to ET. Although cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi)+ET clearly improve several clinical outcomes, many relevant questions remain unanswered: is there a benefit in (i) overall survival (OS) (ii) progression-free survival (PFS), and (iii) which CDKi is the best. Methods: A systematic review was performed to identify trials that compared CDKi+ET versus ET alone for HR+/HER2-aBC. Pooled meta-estimates were generated to assess CDKi+ET OS benefit and PFS benefit. Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compare each CDKi in terms of PFS, clinical benefit rate (CBR), response rate (RR) and toxicity. Results: 2,523 studies were screened and 8 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. There was a trend for OS benefit with CDKi+ET compared to ET alone with 97% posterior probability that CDKi+ET is better than ET alone and HR 0.81 (95% CrI 0.66-1.00). CDKi+ET also showed > 99% probability of better than ET alone in both first and second-line settings in terms of PFS, RR, and CBR with PFS HR 0.56 (0.47-0.66) first line, 0.49 (0.39-0.60) second-line; RR OR 1.61 (1.29-1.97) first-line, 2.58 (1.71-3.80) second-line; CBR OR 1.75 (1.38-2.25) first-line, 2.38 (1.65-3.37) second-line. Ribociclib and abemaciclib showed weak-moderate evidence of better PFS and RR compared to palbociclib (64% to 81% posterior probability of superiority). There was no evidence of differences between ribociclib and abemaciclib. Palbociclib achieved better CBR compared to ribociclib and abemaciclib, although this difference may be related to the poor performance of placebo arm in studies that used palbociclib. In terms of safety, abemaciclib caused less neutropenia, but more diarrhea than ribociclib and palbociclib. Deep vein thrombosis was less frequent with ribociclib. Conclusions: CDKi+ET was 97% superior in terms of OS and > 99% superior in terms of PFS, RR, and CBR compared to ET alone. Further studies are necessary in order to find the best agent and the best sequencing of CDKi for HR+/HER2- aBC treatment.

Purpose To test whether combining bevacizumab, an anti–vascular endothelial growth factor treatment, with endocrine therapy (ET) could potentially delay the emergence of resistance to ET. Patients and Methods A multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III, binational (Spain and Germany) study added bevacizumab (15 mg/kg every 3 weeks) to ET (ET-B; letrozole or fulvestrant) as first-line therapy in postmenopausal patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –negative and hormone receptor–positive advanced breast cancer. We compared progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), response duration (RD), time to treatment failure (TTF), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and safety. Results From 380 patients recruited (2007 to 2011), 374 were analyzed by intent to-treat (184 patients on ET and 190 patients on ET-B). Median age was 65 years, 270 patients (72%) had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 178 patients (48%) had visceral metastases, and 171 patients (46%) and 195 patients (52%) had received prior chemotherapy or ET, respectively. Median PFS was 14.4 months in the ET arm and 19.3 months in the ET-B arm (hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.06; P = .126). ORR, CBR, and RD with ET versus ET-B were 22% versus 41% (P < .001), 67% versus 77% (P = .041), and 13.3 months versus 17.6 months (P = .434), respectively. TTF and OS were comparable in both arms. Grade 3 to 4 hypertension, aminotransferase elevation, and proteinuria were significantly higher in the ET-B arm. Eight patients (4.2%) receiving ET-B died during study or within 30 days of end of treatment. Conclusion The addition of bevacizumab to ET in first-line treatment failed to produce a statistically significant increase in PFS or OS in women with HER2-negative/hormone receptor–positive advanced breast cancer.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Integration of patient preferences into shared decision making improves disease-related outcomes, but such data from patients with advanced breast cancer (aBC) are limited. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the relative importance of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in relation to quality of life (QoL) and therapy-associated side effects from the perspective of patients with aBC. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative aBC receiving first- or second-line treatment were recruited throughout Germany. Patient-relevant attributes for aBC therapy assessment were collected using a stepwise multimodal approach. A conjoint matrix was developed, resulting in 2 attributes for therapy goals (OS and PFS), 4 for QoL, and 6 for side effects. An online quantitative survey was then performed using adaptive choice-based conjoint (ACBC) methodology. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The quantitative survey included 104 patients: 67 (64.4%) receiving first-line treatment and 37 (35.6%) receiving second-line treatment. The QoL attribute “physical agility and mobility” received the highest utility score (19.4 of 100%), reflecting the greatest importance to patients, followed by treatment goals (OS [15.2%] and PFS [14.4%]). Therapy-related side effects were less important, with nausea/vomiting being the most important (9.3%), followed by infection (6.4%) and hair loss (5.0%). The McFadden pseudo <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> (0.805), the root likelihood (0.864), and the χ<sup>2</sup> test (2,809.041; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001) indicated a very good fit of the statistical model. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Using ACBC analysis, it appears that QoL, OS, and PFS are most important to postmenopausal patients with aBC in relation to cancer treatment. Side effects seem to be less important if OS or PFS are prolonged and the QoL is maintained. Thus, QoL, OS, and PFS should be considered equally when making treatment decisions in aBC.
