Real-world second- and third-line progression-free survival after progression on first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer by PAM50 intrinsic subtype: the SOLTI-1801 CDK-PREDICT study

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Purpose: Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), HER2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) shows variable outcomes after first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy (ET). The prognostic role of PAM50 intrinsic subtypes (IS) in this setting remains unestablished. We evaluated IS and biomarker profiles in the SOLTI-1801 CDK-PREDICT cohort, focusing on real-world second- and third-line progression-free survival (rwPFS-2L and rwPFS-3L).

Methods: This multicenter observational study reports a post hoc secondary analysis of ER+ /HER2- MBC patients previously treated with first-line CDK4/6i plus ET. Baseline metastatic biopsies were molecularly profiled (PAM50, CCNE1, PDCD1) using the nCounter platform. rwPFS-2L and rwPFS-3L were defined from initiation of second- or third-line therapy to progression or death. Kaplan-Meier and Cox models assessed associations with clinical, molecular, and treatment variables.

Results: Among evaluable patients (n = 125 for rwPFS-2L; n = 95 for rwPFS-3L), Luminal A/B subtypes represented most cases, while advanced lines showed more aggressive profiles. Median rwPFS-2L was 7.2 months in luminal IS vs. 6.1 in non-luminal (HR 1.40; 95% CI 0.86-2.30); the Basal-like (BL) subtype correlated with significantly shorter rwPFS-2L (HR 3.82; 95% CI 1.07-13.63). In rwPFS-3L, similar trends were seen (6.4 vs. 3.3 months; HR 1.74; 95% CI 0.98-3.08), with BL showing the poorest outcomes (HR 5.63; 95% CI 1.17-27.02). High CCNE1 expression was linked to shorter rwPFS-2L (HR 1.22; 95% CI 1.02-1.47). Targeted agents were frequent in 2L (51%) and capecitabine in 3L (36%), while endocrine monotherapy yielded poorest rwPFS.

Conclusions: Outcomes after CDK4/6i progression differ by PAM50 IS, supporting its role in guiding post-progression treatment.
