Amol Akhade: Oncologists’ preferences following the approval of adjuvant ribociclib

Amol Akhade shared a post on LinkedIn:

”We recently conducted an online poll to gauge oncologists’ preferences following the approval of adjuvant ribociclib.

With two CDK inhibitors now approved for the adjuvant setting in EBC, insights from 173 oncologists shed light on their inclinations:

• 45% favored 2 years of abemaciclib.
• 32% opted to wait for overall survival (OS) benefits.
• 23% leaned towards adjuvant ribociclib for 2 years.

Despite the inherent limitations of an online poll, the emphasis on OS outcomes among oncologists is noteworthy.

The appeal of the shorter duration and improved results offered by adjuvant abemaciclib positions it as a preferred choice for adjuvant therapy.”
