Age-stratified findings from the monarchE trial of abemaciclib in breast cancer
Erika Hamilton, MD, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, TN, comments on results by age in the Phase III monarchE trial (NCT03155997) of adjuvant abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy in patients with high-risk early breast cancer. Patients aged 65 years or over had survival outcomes similar to those who are younger. Safety and tolerability were also comparable, and dose reduction is additionally possible, reducing the rate of discontinuation.
