About this study

This is a retrospective cohort study to assess the real-world analysis of concomitant medication use among metastatic breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors utilizing the US Optum research administrative claims database.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing the US Optum research administrative claims database. Adult female patients who had HR+/HER2- mBC were identified and included in the study. These patients were stratified into three cohorts based on the first CDK4/6i received (ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib).

  • Study period: Period during which all relevant medical and pharmacy information in the database was retrieved
  • Index event identification period: time frame during which index treatment was identified
  • First CDK4/6i: the date on which patients initiated their first treatment after being diagnosed with HR+/HER2- mBC; this date was considered as the index date
  • Baseline period: Time frame during which patient characteristics, prior mBC treatments, and concomitant treatments received by CDK4/6i-naïve patients were evaluated
  • Follow-up period: time frame on and after the index date during which patients' treatments and dosing patterns were observed

Establishment of baseline period Health plan enrollment in the three months prior to the index treatment was included in the baseline period. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, National Cancer Institute (NCI) comorbidity index, concomitant medication use that can potentially lead to a DDI, and other BC treatments prior to the index treatment were evaluated during this period.

Establishment of follow-up period Patients were observed for ≥3 months starting from the index date until the end of the study period or continuous enrollment or until the time when patients switched to another therapy (including another CDK4/6i), whichever came first. Dosing patterns for CDK4/6i were evaluated in the follow-up period. Analyses were conducted at key time points of 3, 6, and 12 months

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with a prescription fill of ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib

    Distribution of patients with a prescription fill of ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib at index treatment date will be present by frequency among all patients treated with CDK4/6

    Measured: Index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time)

  2. Number of participants who took concomitant medications in baseline period, by drug name

    Number of patients taking a concomitant medication/s during baseline period that can potentially lead to a drug-drug interactions (DDI) with a CDK4/6 inhibitor use with each CDK4/6 inhibitor in the follow-up period.

    Measured: Baseline period (3 months)

  3. Number of participants who took concomitant medications in follow-up period, by drug name

    Number of patients taking a concomitant medication/s during baseline period that can potentially lead to a drug-drug interactions (DDI) with a CDK4/6 inhibitor use with each CDK4/6 inhibitor in the follow-up period.

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)

  4. Number of participants with no use of concomitant medications

    Adherence to concomitant medications during the baseline period was reported

    Measured: Baseline period (3 months)

  5. Number of participants with proportion of days covered (PDC) >80%

    Adherence to concomitant medication during the baseline period will be assessed using the proportion of days covered (PDC):

    PDC = total days of filled or refilled concomitant Rx in baseline period / total number of days in baseline period

    Measured: Baseline period (3 months)

  6. Number of participants with proportion of days covered (PDC) ≤80%

    Adherence to concomitant medication during the baseline period will be assessed using the proportion of days covered (PDC):

    PDC = total days of filled or refilled concomitant Rx in baseline period / total number of days in baseline period

    Measured: Baseline period (3 months)

  7. Number of other breast cancer medications used

    Number of other breast cancer medications used in baseline period, by drug class (HR+/Endocrine, Chemotherapy, Other treatments), for breast cancer regimens was reported

    Measured: Baseline period (3 months)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Mean starting dose for each CDK4/6

    Distribution of starting dose and mean starting dose for each CDK4/6 was reported to describe dosing and treatment patterns associated with ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib patients

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)

  2. Number of participants who had any dose change (increase, decrease)

    Number of patients with change in dose by each CDK4/6 inhibitor (ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib) in the follow-up period was reported

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)

  3. Number of participants who had a dose increase

    Number of patients with change in dose by each CDK4/6 inhibitor (ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib) in the follow-up period was reported

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)

  4. Number of participants who had a dose decrease

    Number of patients with change in dose by each CDK4/6 inhibitor (ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib) in the follow-up period was reported

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)

  5. Number of participants discontinuing each CDK4/6i (ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib)

    Rate of discontinuation of ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib in the follow-up period was reported

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)

  6. Median duration of treatment (in months) by each CDK4/6i (ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib)

    Duration of treatment with ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib, defined as discontinuation of each index CDK 4/6 treatment during the follow-up period was reported

    Measured: From index date (defined as the prescription fill for ribociclib, palbociclib, or abemaciclib for the first time) to the end of follow-up period (12 months post index date)
