Confidence In A Treatment You Can Manage1-6
Neutropenia (any grade) was the most frequently reported Adverse Event (AE) for IBRANCE® (palbociclib) in combination with Endocrine Therapy (ET):
across the Phase III IBRANCE® Clinical Trial Programme.1
Adapted from Verma S, et al. Oncologist. 2016;21:1165-752
* In a population of pre-/peri- and post-menopausal women with HR+/HER2- locally advanced breast cancer with relapse or progression on or after ET in the adjuvant setting, randomised to receive IBRANCE® + fulvestrant or placebo + fulvestrant. Data from all randomly assigned patients who received at least one dose of IBRANCE® plus fulvestrant.2
In clinical studies and clinical practice, most cases of Grade ≥3 Neutropenia occurred during the first two cycles of treatment.2,7
Due to its mechanism of action, IBRANCE®-induced Neutropenia differs from that seen with Chemotherapy.2,8,9
Whilst IBRANCE® suppresses the bone marrow by inducing cell cycle arrest, Chemotherapy causes cellular death, including bone marrow cells.8,9
The 3:1 IBRANCE® Dosing Schedule provides a 1-week Recovery Period that allows arrested bone marrow cells to resume their function, while tumour cell growth remains suppressed by the concomitant ET partner.1,9
