CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) in combination with endocrine therapy are the mainstay of treatment for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 negative (HR+/HER2neg) metastatic breast cancer. However, resistance - either de novo or acquired - invariably occurs, leading to treatment failure and cancer progression. Genomic alterations, gene expression data and circulating biomarkers have been correlated to response to treatment, but to date no biomarker has been approved to stratify patients. Treatment strategies after progression on CDK4/6i are yet to be standardized. Current approaches include endocrine therapy alone or in combination with target therapy, or chemotherapy. New agents are in clinical development based on potential mechanisms of acquired resistance. Here we will review recent advancements in biomarkers of response to CDK4/6i, and in post- treatment therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) in combination with endocrine therapy are the mainstay of treatment for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 negative (HR+/HER2neg) metastatic breast cancer. However, resistance - either de novo or acquired - invariably occurs, leading to treatment failure and cancer progression. Genomic alterations, gene expression data and circulating biomarkers have been correlated to response to treatment, but to date no biomarker has been approved to stratify patients. Treatment strategies after progression on CDK4/6i are yet to be standardized. Current approaches include endocrine therapy alone or in combination with target therapy, or chemotherapy. New agents are in clinical development based on potential mechanisms of acquired resistance. Here we will review recent advancements in biomarkers of response to CDK4/6i, and in post- treatment therapeutic strategies.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
