CDK4 & 6 in HR+ Breast Cancer
D-type cyclins activate CDK4 & 6,
which phosphorylate Rb, resulting in
G1 to S progression1
Estrogen stimulates cyclin D1 in HR+
breast cancer2
Short-term inhibition of CDK4 & 6 leads to
G1 arrest with rebound of Rb
phosphorylation and cell cycle progression
upon withdrawal1
Continuous inhibition leads to prolonged
cell cycle arrest with initiation of apoptosis
or senescence3

ER[+] HER2[-] MBC : Scenarios where I will consider abemaciclib:
1.- Single agent in heavily pretreated
Monarch 1: Abemaciclib is the only CDK4/6 inhibitor to provide relevant single agent activity
Heavily but not CDK4/6 pretreated ER[+]/HER2[-] MBC: Abemaciclib single agent looks at least
similar in terms of activity to standard chemotherapy (capecitabine, Eribulin or vinorelbine)

♦ Liver metastases, bone-only disease, progesterone receptor status, tumor grade,
performance status, and treatment-free interval were identified as significant and
independent prognostic characteristics in the MONARCH 2 and 3 trials
♦ While all subgroups benefited from the addition of abemaciclib, patients with more
concerning clinical characteristics received the greatest benefit from the addition of
abemaciclib to endocrine therapy in the MONARCH 2 and 3 trials
♦ These data are hypothesis generating, and will need to be evaluated in the context of
prospective clinical trials in consideration with other determinants of abemaciclib response
(both pathological and molecular). They may also provide insight into the development of
personalized therapy for women with HR+, HER2- breast cancer
