Retrospective, Multicenter, Observational Study to Evaluate Overall Survival in Japanese Patients With HR+/HER2- Advanced Breast Cancer Treated With Palbociclib Plus Letrozole
This is a retrospective, multicenter, observational study in Japan.
The primary objective is to evaluate overall survival (OS) in Japanese patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer who have been treated with palbociclib plus letrozole.
This observational study was planned as follow-up study of Japanese phase 2 study of palbociclib (NCT01684215, phase 2 portion of A5481010 study).

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: From the date of the first dose of the treatment in study A5481010 to the date of any-cause death or censoring date (maximum of 103.16 months of follow-up); data collected and observed retrospectively over 32 months in A5481154 study
|
OS was defined as the time from the date of the first dose of the investigational product in Japanese Phase 2 study (A5481010) to the date of any-cause death.
In the absence of confirmation of death, survival time was censored to last date the participant was known to be alive.
Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis.

Percentage of Participants According to Types and Line of Subsequent Treatment
Time Frame: From start of subsequent treatment in study A5481010 until date of death, withdrawal of consent or end of study (maximum of 103.16 months of follow-up); data collected and observed retrospectively over 32 months in A5481154 study
|
Participants were classified based on types of subsequent treatment and by line of subsequent treatment.
Subsequent treatments included: endocrine therapy-based, chemotherapy-based and others (Investigational drug + Endocrine therapy/Chemotherapy).

Duration of Subsequent Therapy by Line of Therapy
Time Frame: From start of subsequent treatment in study A5481010 until date of death, withdrawal of consent or end of study (maximum of 103.16 months of follow-up); data collected and observed retrospectively over 32 months in A5481154 study
|
Duration of subsequent therapy defined as time from the start date to the end date of each line of treatment among participants who received subsequent treatment.
Kaplan-Meier method was used.
