ESMO BC 2024 | Professor Yiding Chen: Updated CAPItello-291 Study Data Pioneers Precision Therapy for the PAM Pathway in the Post-CDK4/6i Era

ESMO BC 2024 | Professor Yiding Chen: Updated CAPItello-291 Study Data Pioneers Precision Therapy for the PAM Pathway in the Post-CDK4/6i Era

On May 16, 2024, the European Society for Medical Oncology Breast Cancer Annual Meeting (ESMO BC) reported updated results from the CAPItello-291 study (183MO). The data showed that the AKT inhibitor capivasertib combined with fulvestrant provided benefits in second-line treatment without affecting the benefits of subsequent treatments. This further solidified capivasertib's role in the post-CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) era, leading the way in precision therapy for HR+ breast cancer. Oncology Frontier interviewed Professor Yiding Chen from The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine to analyze the progress of the CAPItello-291 study and discuss superior treatment options in the post-CDK4/6i era from mechanisms to clinical applications.
