Currently, there are no clinically actionable biomarkers to predict patient to cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy for hormone receptor (HR)[+]/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)[-] advanced breast cancer (ABC). Herein, we report an exploratory biomarker substudy (transFAL) from a subset of patients included in PARSIFAL, a phase II randomized clinical trial that evaluated first-line palbociclib plus fulvestrant or letrozole for HR[+]/HER2[-] ABC. No definitive biomarkers were discovered, however, worse outcomes were found with CDK6 postivity (p = 0.008), ER negativity (p = 0.008), high Ki67 (p = 0.04), and TP53 mutation (p = 0.04). ctDNA density (p = 0.036) and number of mutations (p = 0.033) at baseline were significantly higher for resistant patients. Our study reveals future directions to explore in the goal to determine biomarkers of response to CDK4/6i.
目前,尚无临床上可用于预测激素受体(HR)阳性/人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)阴性晚期乳腺癌(ABC)患者对细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶4和6抑制剂(CDK4/6i)联合内分泌治疗反应的生物标志物。在此,我们报告了一项探索性生物标志物亚研究(transFAL),该研究来自PARSIFAL试验纳入的部分患者,PARSIFAL是一项II期随机临床试验,评估了一线哌柏西利联合氟维司群或来曲唑用于HR阳性/HER2阴性ABC的疗效。然而,未发现明确的生物标志物,但发现CDK6阳性(p = 0.008)、雌激素受体(ER)阴性(p = 0.008)、高Ki67(p = 0.04)和TP53突变(p = 0.04)的患者预后较差。基线时,耐药患者的循环肿瘤DNA(ctDNA)密度(p = 0.036)和突变数量(p = 0.033)显著更高。我们的研究揭示了未来探索的方向,目标是确定对CDK4/6i反应的生物标志物。
