- Brief Summary
PALBO is a Non-Interventional, National Study Of Real-World Evidence In Estrogen Receptor Positive, Her2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Treated With Palbociclib During A 2.5 Years Follow-Up Period. The primary objective is to identify pathological and clinical features of MBC that is associated with Palbociclib's best efficacy, measured by response rate (overall response rate, duration of response and best clinical response), progression free survival and OS. Safety of Palbociclib will also be evaluated.
- Detailed Description
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is the most advanced stage of breast cancer, where the disease has spread to distant sites beyond the axillary lymph nodes. At European level, MBC occurs in up to 20-30 percent of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. At regional level, there are variations in newly diagnosed patients who present with metastatic disease. In high income countries fewer than 8% of patients are initially diagnosed with MBC, while the highest burden of MBC is carried by low and middle-income countries where up to 60% are initially diagnosed with MBC. Currently, the median overall survival for patients with MBC is approximately 2 to 3 years in developed countries, but lower in developing countries. In Romania, 8900 new cases of BC are diagnosed every year, with 80% being diagnosed in an advance stage of the disease (II, III, IV). Furthermore, after initial BC treatment, approximately 50% will develop MBC.
Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors (Palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib) are now standard of care for the treatment of advanced hormone receptor positive (HR+) and HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer.
On 09 November 2016, the EC has approved IBRANCE® (Palbociclib) as the first CDK 4/6 inhibitor, to be used in combination with letrozol as first-line or in combination with fulvestrant in women who have received prior endocrine therapy, based on the results of PALOMA-1, PALOMA-2 and PALOMA-3 study results. Other phase III randomized trials have been reported and confirmed the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibition in both first-line and endocrine resistant settings.
Palbociclib®, an orally active pyridopyrimidine, is a potent and highly selective reversible inhibitor of CDK 4 and CDK6. The compound prevents cellular DNA synthesis by prohibiting progression of the cell cycle from G1 into the S phase. Specifically, Palbociclib inhibits CDK4/6-catalyzed phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is required for cell division.
Palbociclib® has selectivity for CDK4/6, with little or no activity against a large panel of 274 other protein kinases including other CDKs and a wide variety of tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases.
An approximate number of 650 patients will be included in the present study which will take place on national level in 6 sites in Romania.
Recruitment & Eligibility

- Scoring of 0 or 1+ for HER2 protein expression by a validated immunohistochemistry assay or +1/+2 with negative HER2 amplification FISH/ISH ratio lower than 1.8 or HER2 gene copy less than 4.0.
- Eligible subjects must have undergone a treatment with Palbociclib for at least 3 months.
- Measurable or evaluable disease as defined per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (mRECIST) V1.1 criterion (at least 2 entries).
- Premenopausal or postmenopausal status.
6.1 Patients who are not postmenopausal must have undergone a treatment with LHRH agonist.
6.2 Postmenopausal status is defined as:
- prior bilateral surgical oophorectomy, or
- spontaneous cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months
- in case of doubt serum estradiol <20 umol/l and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels >15 IU/L.
- Subjects with advanced, symptomatic, visceral spread, such as patients with massive uncontrolled effusions (pleural, pericardial, peritoneal), pulmonary lymphangitis, and over 50% liver involvement).
- Palbociclib treatment as part of a clinical trial or prescription prior to market approval (Nov 2016).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival (OS) investigation [ Time Frame: 2.5 years] 2.5 years OS will be defined as the elapsed time from the enrolment to death from any cause. For surviving patients, follow-up will be censored at the date of last contact (or last date known to be alive). Follow-up for OS will at 1, 2 and 3 months until death or withdrawal of consent from the study.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) investigation [ Time Frame: 2.5 years] 2.5 years ORR will be defined as the proportion of the patients with a confirmed CR or PR, as per mRECIST V1.1 criterion.
Duration of Response (DOR) investigation [ Time Frame: 2.5 years] 2.5 years DOR will be defined as the elapsed time from documented tumour response to documented disease progression.
Disease Control Rate (DCR) in subjects participating in the clinical investigation [ Time Frame: 2.5 years] 2.5 years DCR will be calculated per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (mRECIST) V1.1 criterion, as the proportion of patients with best overall response to protocol therapy of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) that is maintained for at least 12 weeks.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The medium duration of the treatment with Palbociclib in combination with aromatase inhibitors (AI) in first-line and with fulvestrant in second-line 2.5 years The first secondary objective of our study is to identify the medium duration of the treatment with aromatase inhibitors (AI) in first-line and with fulvestrant in second-line.
The Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), defined as the proportion of patients with no disease progression after 6 months of therapy. 6 months after therapy start The second secondary objective of our study is to identify the Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), defined as the proportion of patients with no disease progression after 6 months of therapy.
PFS in a selected subgroup with KI67 mutation 2.5 years Exploratory variable
PFS in a selected subgroup of subjects with lower levels of HER2 expression (HER2-low) defined as HER2 immunohistochemistry 1+ or 2+, but FISH negative 2.5 years Exploratory variable
PFS in lobular/ductal/other histological subtypes 2.5 years Exploratory variable
PFS in a selected subgroup with Luminal B subtype 2.5 years Exploratory variable
