Comparative effectiveness of first-line nab-paclitaxel versus paclitaxel monotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer.
Comparative effectiveness of first-line nab-paclitaxel versus paclitaxel monotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer. Journal of comparative effectiveness research Luhn, P. n., Chui, S. Y., Hsieh, A. F., Yi, J. n., Mecke, A. n., Bajaj, P. S., Hasnain, W. n., Falgas, A. n., Ton, T. G., Kurian, A. W. 2019Abstract
Aim: This observational study evaluated the effectiveness of nab-paclitaxel versus paclitaxel monotherapy as first-line (1L) treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Materials & methods: 200 patients from the US Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived database (mTNBC diagnosis, January 2011-October 2016) who received 1L nab-paclitaxel (n = 105) or paclitaxel (n = 95) monotherapy were included. Overall survival and time to next treatment were evaluated. Results: The adjusted overall survival hazard ratio was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.67-1.44), indicating a similar risk of death between groups. Adjusted time to next treatment hazard ratio was 0.89 (95% confidence interval: 0.62-1.29). Conclusion: Nab-paclitaxel and paclitaxel monotherapy showed similar efficacy, suggesting their interchangeability as 1L treatments for mTNBC.
