Agents like abemaciclib (Verzenio) have moved into the adjuvant setting and are being studied in large phase III proof-of-concept trials similar to MONARCH-2, according to Sledge. These studies are evaluating outcomes like disease free survival, and overall survival in the early disease setting. The next step for investigators of the MONARCH-2 study is to do longer term follow-up on the patients with hormone receptor (HR)positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who are being treated with CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib plus fulvestrant (Faslodex) in the study.
