简要总结
The goal of this non-interventional study is to emulate the PALOMA-2 randomized controlled trial of palbociclib as first-line therapy in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer using real-world, electronic health record data. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Do patients with metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer treated with palbociclib and letrozole have improved real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) compared with patients treated with letrozole alone?
- How do the results of this non-interventional study compare to those of the PALOMA-2 randomized controlled trial?
详细描述
The Coalition to Advance Real-World Evidence through Randomized Controlled Trial Emulation (CARE) Initiative is a program designed to build an empirical evidence base for the use of real-world data (RWD) in clinical and regulatory decision-making. Using randomized controlled trials (RCT) as a benchmark for causal effect estimates, a series of RCT emulations will be conducted across varying trials, real world data sources, and study design elements to better understand under what conditions non-interventional studies, using data generated during routine clinical care, can provide reliable conclusions about drug effectiveness.
In this study, real-world electronic health record (EHR) data will be used to emulate the Palbociclib: Ongoing Trials in the Management of Breast Cancer (PALOMA-2) efficacy trial of palbociclib as first-line therapy in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer.2 Similarly to the PALOMA-2 trial, this study will compare real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) between patients who initiate palbociclib and letrozole and those initiating letrozole alone.
