Palbociclib Plus Letrozole For Postmenopausal Women With HR(+) HER2(-) Advanced Breast Cancer For Whom Letrozole Is Deemed Appropriate

The purpose of this study is to provide access to palbociclib in Mexico and in selected Latin American countries before it becomes commercially available to patients with HR positive/HER2-negative ABC who are appropriate candidates for letrozole therapy.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known hypersensitivity to letrozole, or any of its excipients, or to any palbociclib excipients.
  • Current use of food or drugs known to be potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 isoenzymes within 7 days prior to study entry.
  • Prior treatment with any CDK inhibitor.
  • Previous participation in a palbociclib clinical study.
  • Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 2 weeks prior to study entry and/or during study participation.
  • QTc >480 msec; history of QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome or known history of QTc prolongation, or Torsade de Pointes.
  • High cardiovascular risk, including, but not limited to recent myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina and severe cardiac dysrhythmias in the past 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Diagnosis of any second invasive malignancy within the last 3 years prior to enrollment. Note: patients with adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, a history of intraepithelial neoplasia or in situ disease (eg, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or melanoma in situ) may enter.
  • Active uncontrolled or symptomatic brain metastases. Previously treated and clinically stable, brain metastases are permitted.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With All-causality Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: 3 years

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product; the event did not need to have a causal relationship with the treatment. All AEs reported after initiation of study drug treatment were considered as TEAE. AE severity was graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1 AEs are mild AEs; Grade 2 AEs are moderate AEs; Grade 3 AEs are severe AEs, Grade 4 AEs are life-threatening consequences and Grade 5 AEs are deaths related to AEs. Each AE was counted once for the participant in the most severe severity.

  2. Number of Participants With Palbociclib-related TEAEs

    Time frame: 3 years

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product; the event did not need to have a causal relationship with the treatment. All AEs reported after initiation of study drug treatment were considered as TEAE. AE severity was graded according to CTCAE version 4.03. Grade 1 AEs are mild AEs; Grade 2 AEs are moderate AEs; Grade 3 AEs are severe AEs, Grade 4 AEs are life-threatening consequences and Grade 5 AEs are deaths related to AEs. Palbociclib-related TEAEs were determined by the investigator.

  3. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: 3 years

    An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; was life threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect. AEs included both SAEs and AEs. Palbociclib-related SAEs were determined by the investigator.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Death

    Time frame: 3 years

    Death from any cause while on treatment and within 28 days of palbociclib discontinuation was only counted below.

  2. The Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: 3 years

    The tumor response was based on the response reported by investigator per local practice. No response confirmation was applied. ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with complete response or partial response relative to all as-treated population.
