This paper aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating CDK 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) into ET for the adjuvant treatment of HR + HER2-resected early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) patients, employing meta-analysis.
In this paper, we compiled randomized clinical trials focusing on CDK4/6i used in the adjuvant treatment of high-risk invasive HR-positive and HER2-ESBC patients. A meta-analysis was performed in line with the PRISMA guidelines.
We identified four clinical trials that met our inclusion criteria and were published between 2020 and 2024. These trials involved a combined sample size of 17,749 patients diagnosed with breast cancer. The data obtained from the pooled analysis revealed a remarkable beneficial trend in terms of invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) for the use of ET in combination with CDK4/6i compared to the group receiving ET alone (HR = 0.81, 95 % CI: 0.67-0.98, p = 0.03). Of note, CDK4/6 inhibitors demonstrated a notably beneficial effect in both grade 2 (HR = 0.69, 95 % CI: 0.59-0.81, p < 0.001) and grade 3 (HR = 0.76, 95 % CI: 0.65-0.89, p < 0.001). Significant improvements were noted in terms of distant relapse-free survival (dRFS) in the groups treated with abemaciclib and ribociclib (HR = 0.65, 95 % CI: 0.56-0.76, p < 0.001; HR = 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.58-0.89, p = 0.003, respectively). CDK4/6i didn't yield a statistically significant difference in overall survival (OS) (HR = 0.96, 95 % CI: 0.77-1.19, p = 0.69). The use of CDK4/6i with ET was associated with an increased risk of adverse events, particularly anemia and neutropenia, compared with ET alone (OR = 9.12, 95 % CI = 5.04-16.48, p < 0.001).
The findings of this paper demonstrate a significant improvement in iDFS when ET is combined with CDK4/6i, compared to ET alone. Specifically, treatments with abemaciclib and ribociclib showed notable enhancements in dRFS.
本研究旨在通过荟萃分析评估 CDK4/6 抑制剂(CDK4/6i)联合 ET 用于 HR+HER2 早期乳腺癌(ESBC)辅助治疗的疗效。
本研究纳入了 CDK4/6i 用于高危浸润性 HR 阳性和 HER2-ESBC 患者辅助治疗的随机临床试验。按照 PRISMA 指南进行荟萃分析。
我们确定了四项符合纳入标准且发表于 2020 年至 2024 年的临床试验。这些试验共纳入了 17749 例乳腺癌患者。汇总分析的数据显示,与单独接受 ET 相比,ET 联合 CDK4/6i 治疗可显著改善浸润性无病生存(iDFS)(HR=0.81,95%CI:0.67-0.98,p=0.03)。值得注意的是,CDK4/6 抑制剂在 2 级(HR=0.69,95%CI:0.59-0.81,p<0.001)和 3 级(HR=0.76,95%CI:0.65-0.89,p<0.001)中均表现出显著获益。阿贝西利和瑞博西利治疗组的远处无复发生存(dRFS)也显著改善(HR=0.65,95%CI:0.56-0.76,p<0.001;HR=0.72,95%CI:0.58-0.89,p=0.003)。CDK4/6i 对总生存(OS)没有统计学意义(HR=0.96,95%CI:0.77-1.19,p=0.69)。与单独接受 ET 相比,ET 联合 CDK4/6i 治疗与不良事件风险增加相关,尤其是贫血和中性粒细胞减少(OR=9.12,95%CI=5.04-16.48,p<0.001)。
与单独接受 ET 相比,ET 联合 CDK4/6i 可显著提高 iDFS,阿贝西利和瑞博西利治疗可显著提高 dRFS。
