Everolimus use and associated factors among post-menopausal women with hormonal receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative metastatic breast cancer

Abstract: In the real world, everolimus was used in more severe patients than ET but less severe patients than CT based on visceral metastasis, tumor volume, and performance status. The top reason for prescribing everolimus was efficacy. A large proportion of patients received first or second line CT before everolimus initiation. The majority of patients used everolimus according to the labeled combination and dose. Future studies are needed to determine optimal sequencing of everolimus, ET, and CT for HR+/HER2- mBC.

“…82.7% patients had visceral metastasis, 60% of them had more than 3 metastatic sites, and 77.3% had received chemotherapy in metastatic settings before everolimus while the corresponding percentage in BOLERO-2 was 58%, 35% and 26%, respectively. The patients’ characteristics in our study are consistent with findings from other real-world studies that oncologists tend to consider the addition of everolimus to endocrine therapy in patients with visceral metastasis, higher tumor burden, and in later lines of treatment [ 19 , 20 ]. These discrepancies highlight the gap between randomized trials and real-world treatment.…”

“…Of all the topics we searched, we found the greatest number of studies on treatment patterns in HER2-negative and TN mBC: ten articles [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and eight conference abstracts (Table 4) [39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46]. Ten of these were retrospective chart reviews [29,30,[32][33][34]37,38,41,44,45], two were physician surveys [31,46] and six were analyses of secondary databases (e.g., Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results [SEER]-Medicare database, commercial claims) [35,36,39,40,42,43].…”
