Michael Gnant, MD, on HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Early Breast Cancer: Trial Results With Palbociclib Treatment

2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

Advertisement

Michael Gnant, MD, of the Medical University of Vienna, discusses phase III findings from the PALLAS study, which showed that adding 2 years of palbociclib to ongoing adjuvant endocrine therapy did not improve survival for patients with stage II to III hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer. Dr. Gnant also talks about whether any correlative studies hint at patient subgroups that this regimen may benefit (Abstract GS1-07) .

Sara A.

T-DXd showed superior progression-free survival across subgroups of patients previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, including those with brain metastases (Abstract GS3-01).

Charles Coombes, MD, PhD, of Imperial College, London, discusses study results on samuraciclib, a first-in-class, oral, selective inhibitor of CDK7, in combination with fulvestrant in patients with advanced hormone receptor–positive HER2-negative breast cancer. The combination of agents has demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity for patients who have progressed on their prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment (Abstract GS3-10).
