The aim of this study was to assess the pharmacological costs of CDK4/6-inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib) in hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer (BC). We have considered pivotal phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib for the treatment of postmenopausal women with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic BC in first-line in association with letrozole or anastrozole (scenario 1) and in subsequent-lines after progression or relapse during previous endocrine therapy (scenario 2).The costs of drugs are at the Pharmacy of our Hospital and are expressed in euros (€). Six phase III RCTs, including 3843 patients, were considered. In the scenario 1, abemaciclib resulted the less expensive at the full dose, with 2246 € per month of progression free survival (PFS)-gained. Overall ribociclib resulted the less expensive considering the reduction in dosage (36.1% in MONALEESA-2 trial versus (vs). 36.0% of palbociclib in PALOMA-2 trial vs. 43.4% of abemaciclib in MONARCH-3 trial). The price was the same for palbociclib and abemaciclib both at full and with dose reduction. In the scenario 2, the situation was similar to the scenario 1, but with lowest costs for ribociclib per month PFS-gained both at full dose (2070 €) and at dose reduction (1391 € and 690 € at 400 mg and 200 mg, respectively). Combining pharmacological costs of drugs with the measure of efficacy represented by the PFS, ribociclib was the less expensive in both scenarios.

PURPOSE: This multicenter phase II trial investigated the efficacy and toxicity of a combination of the novel intracellular histamine antagonist, N,N-diethyl-2-[4-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]ethanamine.HCl (DPPE), and doxorubicin in patients with anthracycline-naïve metastatic breast cancer. Preclinical models and early single institutional studies suggested DPPE could potentiate the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-two women, 32 to 77 years old (median, 59 years), with anthracycline-naïve metastatic breast cancer were treated. Patients may have had one previous regimen of nonanthracycline chemotherapy, either in the adjuvant or metastatic disease treatment setting. DPPE (6 mg/kg) was administered as an 80 minute intravenous infusion with doxorubicin (60 mg/m2) given intravenously over the last 20 minutes of the DPPE infusion. Patients were premedicated with an antiemetic and sedating regimen. The DPPE/doxorubicin treatment was given every 21 days for a maximum of seven cycles. RESULTS: All 42 patients were assessable. Overall, toxicity was comparable to that expected with doxorubicin alone, with the exception of DPPE-related motion sickness, mild hallucinations, and cerebellar signs at the time of the infusion. These CNS side effects were manageable in an ambulatory care setting, improved with subsequent cycles of treatment, and did not usually require hospitalization. Four patients developed febrile neutropenia. Thirty-five patients received four or more cycles of chemotherapy. The overall response rate was 52.5% (95% confidence interval, 36% to 68%), with 9.5% complete responses (n = 4), 43% partial responses (n = 18), and 38% of patients with stable disease (n = 16). CONCLUSION: The antitumour effects of DPPE/doxorubicin the 52.5% response rate seems encouraging, particularly in consideration of the fact that a recently reported randomized National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group trial using single-agent doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 in one of the treatment arms achieved a 31% response rate. Thus, a randomized phase III trial of doxorubicin versus doxorubicin plus DPPE is being conducted in this clinical setting.
