Armando Orlandi: PATRICIA Trial Final OS Results

Armando Orlandi,  Medical Director at the Agostino Gemelli University Hospital Foundation IRCCS, shared on LinkedIn about a recent paper by T. Pascual et al. published on ScienceDirect:

“PATRICIA Trial Final OS Results: Confirming the PATINA Success Story

The final overall survival analysis from the SOLTI-1303-PATRICIA trial, just published in ESMO Open, provides compelling validation of the CDK4/6i + anti-HER2 strategy, reinforcing the groundbreaking PATINA trial results across different treatment settings.

From Primary to Final Analysis

  • Primary endpoint: 6-month PFS (initially met)
  • Final OS data: median follow-up 60.5 months, 56 deaths (78.9%)
  • Overall median OS: 29.8 months (95% CI: 20.9-38.0)
  • 4-year OS rates: 13.3% (cohort A), 35.7% (cohort B1), 32.3% (cohort B2)

PATINA Confirmation Across Treatment Lines
PATINA (1st-line maintenance):

  • PFS: 44.3 vs 29.1 months (HR 0.52)
  • Phase III randomized design

PATRICIA (heavily pretreated):

  • Median OS: 29.8 months in heavily pretreated patients (2-4 prior regimens)
  • PAM50 luminal subtypes: OS 38.0 vs 26.8 months
  • Key insight: CDK4/6 + anti-HER2 efficacy spans from 1st-line to late-line settings

Biomarker-Driven Strategy Validated

Both trials demonstrate:

  • Superior outcomes in hormone receptor-positive disease
  • Importance of patient selection (PAM50 luminal in PATRICIA)
  • Durable benefit of non-chemotherapy combinations
  • Consistent safety profile across treatment lines

Building the Evidence

PATRICIA Strengths in Context:

  • Validates PATINA concept in different patient population
  • Long-term OS data supports durability of approach
  • Genomic profiling identifies optimal candidates
  • Chemotherapy-sparing strategy across disease stages

Translational Synergy

Together, PATINA and PATRICIA create a compelling narrative: CDK4/6i + anti-HER2 + endocrine therapy represents a paradigm shift from chemotherapy-dependent approaches to targeted, biomarker-driven strategies in HER2+/HR+ breast cancer.

Clinical Integration

These complementary studies establish CDK4/6i+ anti-HER2 combinations as a validated therapeutic backbone, with PATINA proving first-line efficacy and PATRICIA demonstrating activity even in heavily pretreated patients.The convergence of these results strongly supports incorporating this strategy across the treatment continuum for appropriately selected patients.”
