In 2023, we've witnessed incredible progress in breast cancer research, (potentially) bringing new treatment options to people with breast cancer and their caregivers! These developments prompt more research on their real-world impact, and that's what gets me excited on a Tuesday morning! 🌟
At Flatiron, we are privileged to have the data and expertise to help answer questions about how people get treated in the real world:
💡 The SONIA trial challenged the need for first-line use of a CDK4/6 Inhibitor in HR+, HER2- Advanced Breast Cancer. The results open up research on treatment sequencing in the real world, considering safety and cost.
💊 The NATALEE trial's interim analysis revealed an improvement in Invasive Disease-Free Survival when adding a CDK4/6 Inhibitor to endocrine therapy as adjuvant treatment for HR+,HER2- Early Breast Cancer patients. This finding holds great promise! Will physicians seek evidence to determine which patients can benefit from CDK4/6 inhibitors in the adjuvant setting? How will decision-making differ for patients with different risk levels or age groups?
⏰ The FDA granting priority review for an AKT inhibitor is a positive step forward for patients with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer who progressed on endocrine therapy (with and without CDK 4/6 inhibitors). What are the current treatment options and outcomes for these patients in the real world?
💬 If you are passionate about exploring these and other questions, I’d love to hear from you!
