Observational Real-World Study on the Efficacy, Safety, and Biomarker Exploration of CDK4/6 Inhibitors Combined With Endocrine Therapy and Subsequent Treatment in HR+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer.
Exploring the Efficacy and Safety of Different Systemic Treatment Regimens after CDK4/6i Progression in the Real World has significant implications. This study is an observational, real-world study. It plans to include over 300 eligible HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients who are currently receiving or planning to receive endocrine therapy regimens containing CDK4/6 inhibitors. This study is a single-arm, non-interventional study that evaluates the efficacy and safety of the first-line treatment regimen, which includes CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy, based on clinical guideline consensus. After disease progression on first-line treatment, the second-line systemic treatment regimen (including but not limited to switching to another CDK4/6 inhibitor combined with endocrine therapy, other types of endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc.) will be chosen by the physician, and the efficacy and safety of subsequent treatment will be evaluated. Additionally, peripheral blood ctDNA testing will be used to assess changes in baseline and progression-related biomarkers, including ESR1, PI3KCA, FGFR1, PTEN, among some patients.
‣ Age ≥ 18 years, postmenopausal or pre/perimenopausal females, or male patients. Female patients must meet one of the following criteria:
• Prior bilateral oophorectomy or age ≥ 60 years.
∙ Age \< 60 with natural postmenopausal status (defined as spontaneous cessation of regular menstruation for at least 12 consecutive months without any other pathological or physiological reasons), and estradiol (E2) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels consistent with postmenopausal range.
∙ Pre/perimenopausal females may also be eligible but must be willing to receive LHRH agonist during the study.
⁃ Pathologically confirmed HR-positive male/female breast cancer patients with evidence of localized recurrence or metastasis, who are not suitable for curative surgery or radiation therapy:
⁃ ER-positive and/or PR-positive defined as the proportion of positively stained tumor cells ≥ 1% of all tumor cells (as confirmed by the investigators at the participating center).
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2.
• No prior systemic treatment or currently receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors as first-line treatment for advanced disease.
• Reproductive-age females must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 28 days before enrollment and male/female patients must be willing to use a medically approved highly effective contraceptive measure during the study period and up to 1 year after the last dose of investigational drug.
• Non-pregnant or non-lactating females.
• Not concurrently participating in any other ongoing study.
• Patient or legally authorized representative has provided informed consent and is willing and able to comply with the planned visits, study treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures.
