Verzenio + fulvestrant increased OS in ER+/HER2+ MBC

I guess this could eventually mean a new first line for estrogen positive HER2+ patients. This was just a Phase 2 trial so I suppose there has to be a Phase 3 before it would become common in clinical use. Looks like they didn’t include Perjeta (pertuzumab) in this protocol, either.

CONCLUSION:

In this phase II trial, abemaciclib + trastuzumab +/- fulvestrant numerically improved median OS in women with HR+, HER2+ ABC compared to SOC chemotherapy + trastuzumab.
