Comparing Oral Drug Dosing Strategies in Older Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer to Maximize Tolerance and Reduce Discontinuation: The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Dosing Knowledge (CDK) Study

The primary objective of the CDK Study is to compare time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) on the approved dosing for palbociclib (125 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) or ribociclib (600 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) vs. TTD using titrated dosing approach with the same schedule but starting at a lower dose of palbociclib (100 mg or 75 mg) or ribociclib (400 mg or 200 mg) and escalating the dose if well-tolerated in combination with provider/patient choice endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant) in patients age 65 or older with HR+/HER2- MBC.


Why this Research Matters

The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Dosing Knowledge Study (CDK Study) will study CDK4/6 inhibitor dosing regimens in patients 65 or older with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC). The overarching goal of this pragmatic, randomized trial is to compare an "indicated" dosing approach, as listed on the FDA-approved drug label, that starts at the full dose of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib or ribociclib) with dose reduction based on tolerability versus a "titrated" dosing approach that starts at a lower dose of a CDK4/6 inhibitor and then titrates up to full dose as tolerated. CDK4/6 inhibitors will be given in combination with endocrine therapy (either an aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant) based on the choice of the treating clinician.
