MonarchE Trial In High Risk Early Breast Cancer III

  • At updated analysis, the safety findings were consistent with what had been reported previously:
    • Adverse events (AEs) associated with adjuvant abemaciclib are considered manageable and acceptable in this patient population
  • The most common AEs reported (≥ 20%) in the abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy arm and at least 2% higher than in the endocrine therapy–alone arm were:
    • Diarrhea, infections, neutropenia, fatigue, leukopenia, nausea, anemia, and headache
    • The most frequently reported (≥ 5%) grade 3 or 4 AEs were:
      • Neutropenia, leukopenia, diarrhea, and lymphopenia
    • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for certain rare, but serious, toxicities:
      • Venous thromboembolism
      • Interstitial lung disease / pneumonitis
