PALOMA-2: IBRANCE plus Letrozole Patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer for initial endocrine-based therapy The safety of IBRANCE (125 mg/day) plus letrozole (2.5 mg/day) versus placebo plus letrozole was evaluated in PALOMA-2. The data described below reflect exposure to IBRANCE in 444 out of 666 patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who received at least 1 dose of IBRANCE plus letrozole in PALOMA-2. The median duration of treatment for IBRANCE plus letrozole was 19.8 months while the median duration of treatment for placebo plus letrozole arm was 13.8 months. Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 36% of patients receiving IBRANCE plus letrozole. No dose reduction was allowed for letrozole in PALOMA-2. Permanent discontinuation associated with an adverse reaction occurred in 43 of 444 (10%) patients receiving IBRANCE plus letrozole and in 13 of 222 (6%) patients receiving placebo plus letrozole. Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation for patients receiving IBRANCE plus letrozole included neutropenia (1.1%) and alanine aminotransferase increase (0.7%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) of any grade reported in patients in the IBRANCE plus letrozole arm by descending frequency were neutropenia, infections, leukopenia, fatigue, nausea, alopecia, stomatitis, diarrhea, anemia, rash, asthenia, thrombocytopenia, vomiting, decreased appetite, dry skin, pyrexia, and dysgeusia. The most frequently reported Grade ≥3 adverse reactions (≥5%) in patients receiving IBRANCE plus letrozole by descending frequency were neutropenia, leukopenia, infections, and anemia. Adverse reactions (≥10%) reported in patients who received IBRANCE plus letrozole or placebo plus letrozole in PALOMA-2 are listed in Table 4. Table 4.

Patients received either IBRANCE 125 mg orally once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment to comprise a cycle of 28 days plus fulvestrant in combination with inavolisib (n=162) or placebo (n=162). The median duration of treatment for IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant was 9 months (range: 0 to 39 months). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 24% of patients who received IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥1% of patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant included anemia (1.9%), diarrhea (1.2%), and urinary tract infection (1.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.7% of patients who received IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant, including (0.6% each) acute coronary syndrome, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebrovascular accident, COVID-19 infection, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Permanent discontinuation of IBRANCE associated with an adverse reaction occurred in 8 of 162 (4.9%) patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant and in 0 of 162 patients receiving IBRANCE plus placebo and fulvestrant. Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of IBRANCE in patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant were neutropenia, infections, alanine aminotransferase increased, gastric ulcer, intestinal perforation, hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, bone pain, musculoskeletal pain, transitional cell carcinoma, and acute kidney injury (0.6% each). Dose reduction of IBRANCE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 38% of patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant and in 30% of patients receiving IBRANCE plus placebo and fulvestrant. Adverse reactions leading to dose reductions of IBRANCE in ≥2% patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant were neutropenia (30%), leukopenia (6%), and thrombocytopenia (3.7%). Dose interruption of IBRANCE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 71% of patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant and in 61% of patients receiving IBRANCE plus placebo and fulvestrant. Adverse reactions leading to dose interruption of IBRANCE in ≥2% patients receiving IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant were neutropenia (56%), infections (29%), leukopenia (12%), stomatitis (4.9%), anemia (6%), thrombocytopenia (4.3%), diarrhea (3.7%), pyrexia (3.1%), alanine aminotransferase increased (2.5%), hyperglycemia (2.5%), and nausea (2.5%). The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, decreased platelets, decreased lymphocytes, stomatitis, diarrhea, decreased calcium, fatigue, decreased potassium, increased creatinine, increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), nausea, decreased sodium, decreased magnesium, rash, decreased appetite, COVID-19 infection, and headache. Adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities in INAVO120 are summarized in Table 8 and Table 9, respectively. Table 8.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Respiratory Disorders: Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/non-infectious pneumonitis Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (PPES) Male Patients with HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Based on limited data from postmarketing reports and electronic health records, the safety profile for men treated with IBRANCE is consistent with the safety profile in women treated with IBRANCE.
