A challenge when treating older patients is the lack of evidence to inform delivery of cancer care due to their under-representation in clinical trials. RWE may provide valuable information to supplement available data on efficacy and safety of treatment in this heterogeneous patient group.¹
In real-world studies, older patients with HR+/HER2- mBC derived clinical benefit from IBRANCE combined with ET treatment compared with ET alone.2-4
When analyzed by age group, median rwPFS and median OS remained longer in patients who received IBRANCE in combination with letrozole versus letrozole alone in both the 65–74 and the ≥75-years-old age groups.²
In women with resistant and/or pre-treated mBC, global QoL was maintained at 6 months.5
Following 6 months of IBRANCE treatment, a clinically meaningful reduction in pain scores was observed (≥10 points). No clinically meaningful changes occurred in other domains and scales.5
The toxicity profile for older patients treated with IBRANCE was consistent with that seen in clinical trials.6,7 No new safety signals were detected.6
