Eli Lilly and Co. said its MONARCH 2 trial of abemaciclib met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival. The phase III study evaluated abemaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and CDK 6 inhibitor, in combination with fulvestrant in women with hormone-receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, advanced breast cancer who have relapsed or progressed after endocrine therapy.

Two years of adjuvant Verzenio (abemaciclib) plus endocrine therapy reduced the risk of death by 15.8% versus ET alone and resulted in sustained long-term improvements in invasive disease-free survival and distant relapse-free survival, in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer, according to the primary overall survival analysis of the phase III monarchE trial.
Positive high-level results showed Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) demonstrated a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in invasive disease-free survival versus trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer with residual invasive disease in the breast or axillary lymph nodes after neoadjuvant treatment and a high-risk of disease recurrence, according to a planned interim analysis of the DESTINY-Breast05 phase III trial.
