PADMA is a Phase IV, prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial that is the first study to directly compare palbociclib (Ibrance) plus endocrine therapy against standard single-agent chemotherapy as first-line treatment for high-risk HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. Conducted across 28 sites in Germany, the trial enrolled 130 patients with an indication for mono-chemotherapy. The results, presented at SABCS 2024, demonstrated that palbociclib plus endocrine therapy is significantly superior to chemotherapy, supporting existing international guidelines.
Phase IV, prospective, randomized 1:1, open-label, multicenter trial (NCT03355157; GBG 93). Patients were stratified by endocrine resistance vs. sensitivity and symptomatic vs. asymptomatic metastatic disease. Treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or treatment plan change.
Previously untreated female and male patients with high-risk HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer with a clinical indication for mono-chemotherapy. Required life expectancy greater than 6 months. Excluded asymptomatic bone-only disease, oligo-metastatic disease, and uncontrolled CNS metastases. Median age 62 years; approximately 42% had liver metastases and 32% were ET-resistant.
Palbociclib 125 mg on days 1-21 of every 28-day cycle plus endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant) versus mono-chemotherapy of physician's choice (capecitabine, paclitaxel, or vinorelbine) with or without subsequent maintenance ET.
Primary endpoint: Time to treatment failure (TTF), defined as time from randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression, toxicity, patient preference, or death. Secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, time to first subsequent treatment, safety, tolerability, treatment compliance, patient-reported QoL, and DMTI.
Palbociclib plus ET demonstrated a highly significant improvement in PFS versus chemotherapy. Median PFS was 18.7 months vs. 7.8 months (HR 0.45; 95% CI: 0.29-0.70; p<0.001). The primary endpoint TTF was also significantly improved: median TTF 17.2 months vs. 6.1 months (HR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.31-0.69; p<0.001). Disease progression was the leading cause of treatment failure: 52.5% in the palbociclib arm vs. 76.3% in the chemotherapy arm.
There was a numerical trend toward improved OS favoring palbociclib plus ET, though not statistically significant. Median OS was 46.1 months vs. 36.8 months in the chemotherapy arm (HR 0.81; 95% CI: 0.46-1.43; p=0.4630). Proportional hazards could not be assumed for the OS data.
Hematologic toxicity was significantly higher in the palbociclib arm: any-grade hematologic TRAEs 96.8% vs. 58.6% (p<0.001), Grade 3-4 hematologic TRAEs 54.8% vs. 6.9%. Non-hematologic adverse events were comparable between groups (82.3% vs. 93.1%). Overall Grade 3-4 TRAEs were 59.7% vs. 27.6%. Only 3 patients discontinued palbociclib due to adverse events. One treatment-related death (septic shock) occurred in the palbociclib arm.
PADMA provides the first prospective, randomized evidence that CDK4/6 inhibitor-based endocrine therapy is superior to chemotherapy in high-risk HR+/HER2- mBC patients with an indication for chemotherapy. The results reinforce existing international guidelines recommending ET plus CDK4/6 inhibitors as standard first-line treatment. The patient-centric TTF endpoint captured broader clinical benefit including tolerability and treatment durability. While OS was numerically favored, longer follow-up is needed.
