Objective Abemaciclib (A) is approved for pts with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2− advanced breast cancer (ABC) who progressed on endocrine therapy (ET). MONARCH 2 showed statistical significant PFS and OS benefit and a manageable safety profile for A + fulvestrant (F) over F alone.

We report MONARCH 2 final OS analysis based on 441 OS events including OS, safety, and chemotherapy-free survival (CFS).

Materials and Methods Women (n=669) were randomized 2:1 to receive A (n=446)/placebo (P) (n=223), 150mg twice/day, + F. Randomization was stratified based on metastasis site and prior ET resistance (primary vs secondary). Time-to-event variables were estimated by Kaplan-Meier curves. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% CI were estimated by Cox proportional hazard model. Data cutoff was March 18, 2022.

Results At median 80 months (m) follow-up time, few pts were still on study drug (11% vs 2%; A vs P). Median OS (45.8m vs 37.2m; A vs P; HR: 0.784; 0.644-0.955) and OS rates (5yr: 41.2% vs 29.2%; 6yr: 34.7% vs 23.7%; A vs P) showed significant benefit for A. Addition of A to F improved CFS rates (4yr: 37% vs 18.6%; 5 yr: 32.4% vs 14.7%). No new safety signals were observed.

Conclusions The results show significant OS and CFS benefits of abemaciclib therapy for ABC are confirmed and maintained and provide assurance of the safety of abemaciclib with longer-term use.
