About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with ER+, human epidermal growth factor 2 negative (HER2-), advanced breast cancer are receiving dosing adjustments and monitoring based on manufacturer recommendations at a tertiary academic medical center.

Read the detailed description

This study was a retrospective, single-center study that included women receiving palbociclib for the treatment of ER+, HER2- advanced breast cancer. Exclusion criteria were the presence of brain metastases or active enrollment in a palbociclib clinical trial.

The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who were maintained on a palbociclib dose according to the adjustment schedule in package insert recommendations.

The secondary endpoints were the number of patients dose adjusted for hematologic toxicities, the number of patients experiencing neutropenia, duration of therapy, progression-free survival (PFS), and adherence to manufacturer monitoring recommendations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Palbociclib dose according to the package insert recommendations.

    Identify the proportion of patients who were maintained on a palbociclib dose according to the package insert recommendations.

    Measured: 22 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Dose adjustment for hematologic toxicities

    Number of patients who required dose adjustment for hematologic toxicities while on the study.

    Measured: 22 months

  2. Number of patients who experienced neutropenia.

    Patients who experienced neutropenia as a result of their participation in the study.

    Measured: 22 months

  3. Duration of therapy

    Number of patients who completed the study compared to the number of patients who were was discontinued with the most common reason for discontinuation being disease progression

    Measured: 22 months

  4. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival duration of patients that were in the study who received Palbociclib

    Measured: 22 months

  5. Adherence to manufacturer monitoring recommendations

    Patient adherence was also a limitation of this study as providers relied on the patient report to track medication adherence. Insurance coverage and access to palbociclib also contributed some variability as there were occasional delays in initiation of therapy or change in dose.

    Measured: 22 months
