Abstract
Abstract Background: MONALEESA-2 (ML-2) recently reported a statistically significant overall survival (OS) benefit with first-line ribociclib (RIB) + letrozole (LET) over placebo (PBO) + LET in postmenopausal patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC) (median, 63.9 vs 51.4 months; hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63-0.93; P = .004). Understanding OS outcomes in clinically relevant subgroups of patients is important for improving personalized care and prognosis. Here, we report the results of a prespecified exploratory OS analysis in select patient subgroups by baseline location and number of metastatic sites.. Methods: Postmenopausal patients with HR+/HER2− ABC were randomized 1:1 to receive first-line RIB or PBO with LET. Prespecified exploratory OS analyses were performed for subgroups of special interest by baseline location (bone only [yes or no], liver involvement [yes or no], liver or lung involvement [yes or no]) and number of metastatic sites (< 3 or ≥ 3). The data are hypothesis generating since this analysis was exploratory and not powered for statistical significance.. Results: A total of 668 patients were included in the analysis. A consistent improvement in OS was observed with RIB + LET vs PBO + LET in all subgroups regardless of baseline metastatic site (Table). RIB + LET demonstrated an OS benefit over PBO + LET in clinically relevant subgroups by baseline location and number of metastatic sites, including subgroups of patients with liver metastases, liver or lung metastases, and ≥ 3 metastatic sites, who generally have a worse prognosis.. Conclusion: Consistent with the intent-to-treat population of ML-2, the results of this prespecified exploratory analysis demonstrated an OS benefit with RIB + LET independent of the site and number of metastatic lesions.
