Purpose This phase III study compared the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (BV) when combined with several standard chemotherapy regimens versus those regimens alone for first-line treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative metastatic breast cancer. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned in 2:1 ratio to chemotherapy plus BV or chemotherapy plus placebo. Before random assignment, investigators chose capecitabine (Cape; 2,000 mg/m2 for 14 days), taxane (Tax) -based (nab-paclitaxel 260 mg/m2, docetaxel 75 or 100 mg/m2), or anthracycline (Anthra) -based (doxorubicin or epirubicin combinations [doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide, epirubicin/cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide, or fluorouracil/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide]) chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. BV or placebo was administered at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), 1-year survival rate, objective response rate, duration of objective response, and safety. Two independently powered cohorts defined by the choice of chemotherapy (Cape patients or pooled Tax/Anthra patients) were analyzed in parallel. Results RIBBON-1 (Regimens in Bevacizumab for Breast Oncology) enrolled 1,237 patients (Cape cohort, n = 615; Tax/Anthra cohort, n = 622). Median PFS was longer for each BV combination (Cape cohort: increased from 5.7 months to 8.6 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.84; log-rank P < .001; and Tax/Anthra cohort: increased from 8.0 months to 9.2 months; HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.80; log-rank P < .001). No statistically significant differences in OS between the placebo- and BV-containing arms were observed. Safety was consistent with results of prior BV trials. Conclusion The combination of BV with Cape, Tax, or Anthra improves clinical benefit in terms of increased PFS in first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer, with a safety profile comparable to prior phase III studies.

e13020 Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) has emerged as the standard first line treatment in patients with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In this analysis, we describe population-based outcomes for first-line treatment with a CDK4/6i combined with an AI. Methods: All patients who were prescribed CDK4/6i + AI from January 2016 through June 2019 in a large Canadian province were included. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient demographics, tumor and treatment characteristics. Survival distributions were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis (MVA) using a Cox proportional hazards model was constructed to examine associations between potentially prognostic clinical variables and progression free survival (PFS). Results: A total of 316 patients were included. Median age was 61 years (interquartile range, 53-70 years), 82% were postmenopausal women, 39% had de novo MBC, and 48% had non-visceral disease. Palbociclib was prescribed in 94% of patients and the remaining patients received ribociclib. The CDK4/6i was dose-reduced upfront or during treatment in 47%. While 70% of the patients discontinued treatment due to progression, 30% stopped due to toxicity/patient preference/physician recommendation. With a median follow-up of 28.1 months, the median PFS was 37.9 months (95% CI, 26.7-NR). In the MVA, PR-negative tumour (HR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.45-3.88; P = 0.001) and dose reduction of the CDK4/6i (HR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.06-2.16; P = 0.022) predicted worse PFS. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The 30-month and 36-month OS rates were 74% and 68%, respectively. Of patients who progressed (n = 131), 89% received second-line treatment (chemotherapy in 46%, single agent hormonal therapy in 35%, hormonal therapy plus a targeted agent in 15%, and other in 4%). Median time to progression on second line chemotherapy was 9.0 (5.8-17.6) months and second line hormonal therapy +/- targeted agent was 4.0 (3.4-8.6) months (P = 0.012). Conclusions: The real-world outcomes of first-line use of CDK4/6i and AI are encouraging. PR negative tumors and dose reduction appear to be negative prognostic markers. CDK4/6i + AI as first-line treatment for HR-positive, HER2-negative MBC in Alberta is justified based on favorable PFS and early OS outcomes.
