Breast Cancer | Current Treatment: Physician Insights | US | 2024

The breast cancer treatment landscape is rapidly evolving. CDK4/6 inhibitors (Pfizer’s Ibrance, Novartis’s Kisqali, and Eli Lilly’s Verzenio) plus endocrine therapy are entrenched first-line treatments for metastatic HR-positive / HER2-negative disease; this drug class moved to the early-stage setting with the approval of adjuvant Verzenio in 2021. Biomarker-driven therapies—including Menarini Group’s Orserdu (ESR1-mutant), Novartis’s Piqray (PIK3CA-mutant), and AstraZeneca’s Truqap (PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-mutant)—have expanded the treatment options for metastatic HR-positive / HER2-negative disease. In triple-negative disease, Merck & Co.’s Keytruda has changed the treatment paradigm for some patients with early and metastatic breast cancer. PARP inhibitors (AstraZeneca / Merck & Co.’s Lynparza, Pfizer’s Talzenna) are an option in PARP-mutant patients with either triple-negative or HR-positive / HER2-negative disease; in these two subtypes, the approval of next-generation ADCs (Gilead’s Trodelvy and Daiichi Sankyo / AstraZeneca’s Enhertu for HER2-low disease) has diversified the therapy options for metastatic patients. In the HER2-positive metastatic setting, Enhertu’s label expansion to the second-line setting is redefining the treatment algorithm.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What are the treatment rates for breast cancer across key subtypes and lines of therapy?
  • What are the testing rates for select biomarkers (e.g., mutations in PIK3CA, ESR1, and PARP; HER2-low expression) in relevant breast cancer subtypes?
  • What is the patient share of key drugs and regimens across breast cancer subtypes?
  • What are the main drivers of, and key obstacles to, the uptake of select therapies?
