Ibrance® (palbociclib) Real-World Evidence

Confidence Through Experience1-31, 38-39

RWE and data from RCTs each have their own complementary strengths and weaknesses that, when combined, can help regulators, clinicians and patients to better understand and utilise therapies.32-37  Please click on the video below to hear Dr Mark Verrill discuss the value of RWE to your clinical practice.

Please note, observational retrospective analyses are not intended for direct comparison with clinical trials due to differences in study design and settings.

There is a growing body of RWE for IBRANCE® in the UK and globally to complement PALOMA-2 and PALOMA-3 RCT data and to help support prescribing decisions for appropriate patients with HR+/HER2- ABC.1–31, 38-39

IBRANCE® has >7 years of cumulative real-world experience involving over 9000 patients worldwide.10-30, 38-39

†​​​​​​​ This figure represents the number of patients receiving IBRANCE plus AI in the P-REALITY X studyAs of July 2023

Key IBRANCE® RWE studies are the ROISIRIS and the P-REALITY X studies​​.

ROIS
A real-world analysis investigating the use, effectiveness and safety of IBRANCE® within the IBRANCE® Patient Program (IPP) in the UK.21,38,39 This study was the first opportunity for patients with ABC to gain routine access to a CDK4/6 inhibitor21,38,39
IRIS
A worldwide observational study of patients who received IBRANCE® combination treatment in real-world setting. The study reviewed IBRANCE® in combination with fulvestrant versus IBRANCE® in combination with an AI9–13,15
P-REALITY X
P-REALITY X is the largest real-world comparative effectiveness study, with a comparator arm, for mBC to date.* The study examined the effectiveness of first-line IBRANCE® plus AI versus AI alone20

*As of July 2023

RCTs and RWE

RWE is generated or obtained from real-world practice rather than in a clinical trial setting.34
​​​​​​​Therefore, the characteristics of real-world studies differ from those of RCTs.33,34

                                 RCT: can the drug work? 33-37 RWE: does the drug work? 33-35
Measures Efficacy Effectiveness
Designed to determine causality Yes No
Randomisation Randomised Not Randomised
Eligibility criteria Strict
Patients tend to be different from those encountered in patient care
Broad
Diverse in terms of age, race, socioeconomic status, disease severity, etc
Environment Highly monitored and controlled Routine clinical practice
Intervention Strictly enforced and standardised At the discretion of the treating physician
Data derived from Prespecified, protocol-defined, uniformly assessed endpoints Assessments of clinical judgement, with variability in patient care and adherence

Observational retrospective analyses are not intended for direct comparison with clinical trials due to differences in study design and settings

Why is RWE important? Strengths and limitations of RCTs and RWD studies
Header Randomised Clinical Trials (RCT)32-37 Real-world Data (RWD) studies32-37
Strengths
  • Robust study design
  • Randomisation minimises bias
  • Blinding hides assignment from investigators, participants and assessors
  • Well understood and accepted by stakeholders
  • Broader and more representitive population assessed over a longer time frame
  • Assess a broad set of clinically relevant measures and outcomes
  • Investigate questions that cannot ethically be studied in RCTs
  • Inexpensive relative to clinical trials and faster to execute
Limitations
  • Significant differences between sample population and RW population - limits generalisability of results
  • Study endpoints often focus on efficacy and safety
  • Difficult to assess rare and long-term events
  • Expensive to conduct and slow to execute
  • Absence of randomisation and blinding
  • Higher risk of bias and presence of confounding factors
  • Varying levels of data availability and quality
  • Fewer standards around study designs
