Abstract

Landmark trials led to the integration of docetaxel (D) or novel hormonal agents (NHA) added to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) into the treatment paradigm for mHSPC. Recent data showed survival benefit for treatment intensification with ADT+D+NHA triplet therapy vs ADT+D in selected patients (pts). Yet, there is a significant medical need to expand therapeutic options especially for pts with poor prognoses, including those not candidates for chemotherapy. Abemaciclib is an oral selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4 & 6) dosed on a continuous schedule, approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic and certain types of high-risk early stage HR+, HER2- breast cancer.
