PALOMA-2

Palbociclib and Letrozole in Advanced Breast Cancer

  • 在一項名為PALOMA-2的Phase 3的研究發現:針對未接受過進階治療的ER陽性、HER2陰性的乳腺癌患者,使用palbociclib加letrozole相較於僅使用letrozole,在 ✖ 無疾病進展生存期方面,分別是24.8個月對上14.5個月
  • 此外,相比於對照組,使用palbociclib加letrozole的主要副作用有:中性球減少 ↓ 症 (66.4% vs 1.4%) 、白細胞減少 ↓ 症 (24.8% vs 0%) 、貧血 (5.4% vs 1.8%) 和疲勞 (1.8% vs 0.5%) 。

Palbociclib plus Letrozole for Advanced Breast Cancer: A Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial

  • Design: Phase 3, double-blind, randomized clinical trial
  • Number of patients: 666 postmenopausal women
  • Patients characteristics: Postmenopausal women with estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, who had not had prior treatment for advanced disease
  • Agent: Palbociclib plus Letrozole vs. Placebo plus Letrozole
  • Treatment line: Initial treatment for advanced disease
  • Trial Name/NCT Number: PALOMA-2 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01740427

Comparison of Palbociclib plus Letrozole vs. Placebo plus Letrozole

EndpointsPalbociclib plus LetrozolePlacebo plus Letrozole
PFSMedian 24.8 monthsMedian 14.5 months (95% CI, 12.9 to 17.1)
  • Other findings:
    • The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, and fatigue.
    • Febrile neutropenia was reported in 1.8% of patients in the palbociclib-letrozole group and in none of the patients in the placebo-letrozole group.
    • Permanent discontinuation of any study treatment as a result of adverse events occurred in 43 patients (9.7%) in the palbociclib-letrozole group and in 13 patients (5.9%) in the placebo-letrozole group.

Summary

Palbociclib plus Letrozole significantly improved progression-free survival in postmenopausal women with previously untreated ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer compared to Letrozole alone. However, myelotoxic effects were higher with palbociclib-letrozole.
