Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of HR+ and HER2- breast cancer, but their use is associated with adverse events. This review provides the latest summary on the safety profile of these inhibitors.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6is) have transformed the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer over the last decade. These inhibitors are currently established as first- and second-line systemic treatment choices for both endocrine-sensitive and -resistant breast cancer populations alongside endocrine therapy (ET) or monotherapy. Data on targeted therapy continue to mature, and the number of publications has been constantly rising. Although these drugs have been demonstrated to prolong overall survival (as well as progression-free survival (PFS) in breast cancer patients), changing the paradigm of all current knowledge, they also cause important adverse events (AEs). This review provides the latest summary and update on the safety profile of the three CDK4/6 inhibitors, as it appears from all major phase II and III randomized clinical trials regarding palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib, including the most relevant 15 clinical trials.
