Abstract P3-11-24: Relative risk of peripheral neuropathy with trastuzumab emtansine compared to taxane-based regimens in HER2-positive cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis of published phase 3 randomized controlled trials

1072 Background: All three currently approved cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) such as palbociclib, abemaciclib, and ribociclib are reported to cause significant pulmonary toxicities including fatal pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease (ILD). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the relative risk of pneumonitis or ILD associated with CDK4/6i. Methods: We conducted a systematic search using PRISMA guidelines in PubMed, EMBASE, American Society of Clinical Oncology and San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium meeting abstracts from inception through Jan 30, 2021. Phase 3 RCTs using CDK4/6i in the intervention arm and reporting the number of events for pneumonitis or ILD were included in the analysis. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method and random effects model were used to calculate the pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was tested by Cochran’s Q test and I2 value. Results: Five phase 3 RCTs — MONALEESA-3, MONALEESA-7, MONARCH plus, monarchE, and PALLAS — reported the number of events for any grade pneumonitis or ILD and were included in the final analysis. A total of 13,191 patients — 6,758 in the CDK4/6i arm and 6,433 in the control arm — were analyzed. Following regimens were used in CDK4/6i arms — MONALEESA-3: ribociclib + fulvestrant; MONALEESA-7: ribociclib + tamoxifen or a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor + goserelin; MONARCH plus: in cohort A, abemaciclib + anastrozole or letrozole, and in cohort B, abemaciclib + fulvestrant; MonarchE: abemaciclib + standard-of-care adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET); PALLAS: Palbociclib + ET. In the control arms, all studies used placebo and respective endocrine therapies. Any grade pneumonitis or ILD was reported in 1.64% of patients in the CDK4/6i arm versus 0.68% of patients in the control arm. The pooled RR of any grade pneumonitis or ILD was 2.26, 95% CI: 1.60-3.19, P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%. Grade 3/4 pneumonitis or ILD was reported in 0.28% of patients in the CDK4/6i arm and 0.06% of patients in the control arm with pooled RR of 2.35, 95% CI: 0.37-15.08, P = 0.37, I2 = 34%. One grade 5 pneumonitis was reported in the monarchE. Conclusions: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors are associated with increased risk of any grade pneumonitis or ILD. Early detection and prompt initiation of appropriate interventions are vital to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with CDK4/6i induced pneumonitis or ILD.

e13037 Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) such as palbociclib, abemaciclib, and ribociclib have changed the landscape of management of estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer in recent years. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the relative risk of hepatic dysfunction associated with the use of CDK4/6i. Methods: We conducted a systematic search using PRISMA guidelines in PubMed, EMBASE, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium meeting abstracts from inception through Jan 30, 2021. Phase 3 RCTs using CDK4/6i in the intervention arm and reporting the number of events for elevation of liver enzymes were included in the analysis. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method and random effects model were used to calculate the pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was tested by Cochran’s Q test and I2 value. Results: Nine phase 3 RCTs — MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-3, MONALEESA-7, MONARCH 2, MONARCH 3, MONARCH plus, monarchE, PALOMA-2, and PALOMA-3 — randomizing 5,809 patients in the CDK4/6i arms and 4,638 patients in the control arms were included in the analysis. The CDK4/6i arms used CDK4/6i such as palbociclib, abemaciclib, or ribociclib in combination with one of the standard-of-care endocrine therapies such as letrozole, anastrozole, tamoxifen, or fulvestrant. The control arms received placebo along with respective endocrine therapies. The incidence of any grade alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation was 13.1% in the CDK4/6i arm and 5.4% in the control arm, pooled RR: 2.18, 95% CI: 1.74-2.72, P < 0.00001, I2 = 45%. The incidence of any grade aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation was 12.5% in the CDK4/6i arm and 5.3% in the control arm, pooled RR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.57-2.54, P < 0.00001, I2 = 57%. The incidence of grade 3/4 ALT elevation was 4.1% in the CDK4/6i arm and 0.8% in the control arm, pooled RR: 4.43, 95% CI: 3.08-6.37, P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%. The incidence of grade 3/4 AST elevation was 2.9% in the CDK4/6i arm and 0.9% in the control arm, pooled RR: 2.70, 95% CI: 1.75-4.19, P < 0.00001, I2 = 29%. No fatal case of hepatotoxicity has been reported. Conclusions: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors are associated with significant risk of any grade and grade 3/4 hepatic enzymes elevation. Regular monitoring of liver function is a key to early detection and initiation of appropriate management.

Recent studies have shown that mindfulness training has a promising potential for smoking treatment. In order to examine the efficacy of mindfulness training in smoking cessation, we performed a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Four randomized controlled trials with 474 patients were included in our analysis. The results showed that 25.2 percent of participants remained abstinent for more than 4 months in the mindfulness group compared to 13.6 percent of those who received usual care therapy (relative risk, 1.88; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.04–3.40). Our results suggest that mindfulness training may have an important role to play in efforts to lower cigarette smoking rates.

Background: Cabozantinib is an oral inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases and is used in treatment of multiple solid tumors, targeting several pathways such as vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway and proto-oncogenes MET, KIT, RET. These pathways are implicated in several tumor development and progression. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to determine the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatic toxicities among patients with metastatic solid tumors treated with cabozantinib. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE databases, and meeting abstracts from inception to September 2018 were queried. Phase 3 RCTs that mention GI and elevation of liver enzymes as adverse effects were incorporated in the analysis. Mantel-Haenszel method was used to calculate the estimated pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% CI. Random effects model was applied. Results: We included 4 phase 3 RCTs with a total of 2,703 patients with various solid tumors. The study arm used cabozantinib while the control arm utilized everolimus or placebo or prednisone. The relative risks of all-grade side effects were as follows: diarrhea, 2.495 (95% CI: 2.149–2.897, P<.0001); nausea, 1.849 (95% CI: 1.649–2.072; P<.0001); vomiting, 2.335 (95% CI: 1.724–3.163; P<.0001); stomatitis, 4.541 (95% CI: 0.908–22.696; P=.065); dysgeusia, 4.428 (95% CI: 2.67–7.343; P<.0001); elevated AST, 2.002 (95% CI: 1.331–3.011; P=.001); and elevated ALT, 1.988 (95% CI: 0.936–4.222; P=.074). The RR of high-grade side effects were as follows: diarrhea, 5.913 (95% CI: 3.655–9.566; P<.0001); nausea, 3.098 (95% CI: 1.266–7.581; P=.013); vomiting, 1.298 (95% CI: 0.395–4.265; P=.668); stomatitis, 3.837 (95% CI: 0.749–19.665; P=.107); dysgeusia, 1.522 (95% CI: 0.159–14.574; P=.716); elevated AST, 1.733 (95% CI: 1.101–2.728; P=.018); and elevated ALT, 2.489 (95% CI: 1.164–5.326; P=.019). Conclusion: The risk of developing all grades of diarrhea, nausea, elevated AST, and any-grade vomiting, dysgeusia as well as high-grade elevated ALT, was high in cabozantinib group. Timely recognition and providing good supportive care will enhance patients’ quality of life.
