Real-life Treatment Patterns With Cyclin-dependent Kinase Inhibitors in Advanced Breast Cancer in Portugal - REVEAL Study

Completed
Conditions
Hormone-receptor-positive Breast Cancer
Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 Negative Carcinoma of Breast
Registration Number
NCT06463626
Lead Sponsor
Novartis
Brief Summary

This was a non-interventional (observational), retrospective, cohort study of women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-type 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer who started treatment with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) 4/6 (ribociclib or palbociclib) in Portugal. This was a study of medication use patterns, based on information from the hospital pharmacies of the participating centers.

Patients who started a CDKi 4/6 (ribociclib or palbociclib) between 1 March 2019 and 31 December 2019 were included and followed through 24 months. A follow-up occurred 6 months after the start of CDKi 4/6 (ribociclib or palbociclib) to quantify the occurrence of dose changes.

Initial Dose of CDKi 4/6Baseline, defined as start of treatment with CDKi
Number of Pre-menopause Patients by CDKi 4/6Baseline, defined as start of treatment with CDKi

Menopausal status: if the patient had taken goserelin in the six months before or after starting CDKi, she was considered to be pre-menopausal. In patients without an associated goserelin withdrawal, age was taken into account, and patients aged 50 or over were considered post-menopausal.

Number of Patients Without Concomitant TherapyBaseline, defined as start of treatment with CDKi
Number of Ribociclib-treated Patients by Type of Aromatase InhibitorBaseline, defined as start of treatment with CDKi
Number of Pre-menopause, Palbociclib-treated Patients by Type of Concomitant TherapyBaseline, defined as start of treatment with CDKi

Menopausal status: if the patient had taken goserelin in the six months before or after starting CDKi, she was considered to be pre-menopausal. In patients without an associated goserelin withdrawal, age was taken into account, and patients aged 50 or over were considered post-menopausal.

Number of Post-menopause, Palbociclib-treated Patients by Type of Concomitant TherapyBaseline, defined as start of treatment with CDKi
