Neutropenia with Ibrance, Kisqalu and Verzenio.

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors are a class of anticancer medications that can reduce or eliminate endocrine resistance when used in combination with endocrine therapy for the treatment of hormone receptorpositive (HR+) breast cancer. Currently, three CDK4/6 inhibitors are approved for the initial treatment of HR+ advanced breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI): abemaciclib,[1] palbociclib,[2] or ribociclib[3. Ibrance (palbociclib alo has an incidence of around 80% in the PALOMA trials.Rates of neutropenia in patients receiving abemaciclib were 41% (22%, grade > 3) in MONARCH-3, 46% (32%, grade > 3) in MONARCH-2, and 37% (27%, grade > 3) in MONARCH-1. As such, there is a contrindication to trying Ibrance after aa pateitn developed nutropenia on ribiciclib, becaseu teh change of again developing neutropenia is very high.
